Vacation

24

Quinn ended up spending the night in Puck's room. They didn't have sex, but they fell asleep curled up together.

In the morning, Quinn woke up to Puck playing with her hair.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." Puck smiled.

"Morning." Quinn responded. "What time is it?"

"Nine." Puck answered.

"Have you been awake long?" Quinn wondered.

Puck shook his head, but Quinn knew he was probably up for hours already.

"Breakfast is at ten." Puck informed Quinn. "I was just about to wake you up, so you could start getting ready."

Quinn nodded. "Can I shower first?"

"Sure." Puck said.

Quinn slowly got out of bed and looked at Puck. "Thanks for letting me stay over last night. I slept really well."

"Yeah, no problem." Puck nodded.

"I'm really glad we talked." Quinn added.

"Me, too." Puck agreed. "There's one thing you never answered though."

Quinn furrowed her eyebrow. "What?"

"I asked you if you love me." Puck reminded Quinn.

"You know I always will." Quinn said softly.

Puck nodded. "You just love Biff more."

Quinn didn't say anything.

"It's okay." Puck shrugged. "Go shower. I don't wanna be late for breakfast."

Quinn took a long shower. She kept thinking of Biff and Puck. Biff would always be able to provide for her financially, and Puck would always be able to provide for her physically and emotionally, despite having less money than Biff.

When Quinn got out of the shower, Puck and Santana looked at her.

Santana's eyes widened as she turned back to Puck.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Santana requested.

"We can talk later." Puck said as he glanced at Quinn. "I have to shower."

Puck went into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Wear a bikini because after we go shopping, we're going to the beach to meet up with the others." Santana stated.

Quinn nodded. "Okay."

"Did you sleep with him?" Santana blurted.

Quinn shook her head. "All we did was talk and sleep."

Santana folded her arms and raised her eyebrow in disbelief.

"I don't care if you believe me, that's what happened." Quinn stated. "Puck and I are friends."

"Not according to him." Santana replied.

"You're one to talk." Quinn said. "You and Brittany."

Santana mumbled something under her breath as she walked out.

Quinn furrowed her eyebrow. She decided to ignore Santana and start getting ready for breakfast.

Quinn put on a baby blue bikini and left her hair down. She put her sunglasses on the top of her head and put her coverup and her flip flops on.

Puck walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"A-Are you going to the beach?" Quinn choked.

"My eyes are up here, Fabray." Puck teased.

Quinn felt herself blush. "Are you going to the beach?"

Puck nodded. "What are you doing today?"

"Shopping." Quinn grinned. "Maybe I'll get you a souvenir."

"Cool." Puck said as he dropped his towel and got dressed. "I would've brought you back a souvenir from Afghanistan, but I forgot to stop at a gift shop."

Quinn rolled her eyes. "You're an-"

"Egghead?" Puck guessed with a smirk.

"I was gonna say idiot." Quinn responded.

Puck laughed lightly. "Good choice, Fabray."

Quinn smiled proudly.

"We should, uh, we should go to breakfast." Puck said.

"Before Santana tells everyone we're doing something inappropriate." Quinn added.

Puck rolled his eyes.

Quinn took Puck's hand and led him out of the room.
