The womanizer and the diva

Chapter 23: A Fresh Start

Quinn woke up to loud banging on their hotel door and a sleeping cuddly Rachel on her chest. Quinn groaned at the noise but smiled once she saw Rachel on top of her. Then she frowned again as she heard Pucks's annoying voice ruin her moment. "Room service! Come on guys, stop fucking! Scooter is waiting for us down stairs!" Rachel huffed as she untangled her arms from around Quinn's waist. "Puck has impeccable timing." Quinn chuckled and nodded while sitting up to shout right back at Puck. "We're coming!" Quinn heard Puck laugh as he shouted back. "Again?!" Quinn growled as Rachel chuckled and turned towards her. "Hey, I'm gonna shower real quick and I'll meet you down there?" Rachel asked her curiously. Quinn nodded as she stopped glaring at the door and turned towards Rachel. Quinn then lost her focus as she saw Rachel holding up some clothes with her hands with nothing else on her person. "S-Sure Rach." Rachel blushed down a smile as she saw Quinn try not to look at her naked body. Rachel nodded quietly as she waved slightly at Quinn and made her way into the bathroom. Quinn let out the breath she was holding in and got up to quickly get changed. So waking up next to Rachel wasn't new in any sense, but feeling happiness again was. It's been a couple months without Rachel and let's just say Quinn is so glad that she has a second chance with her. This time she's not going to fuck it up and if she does, then she's gonna have to kick her own ass. Quinn finally made it down to the breakfast lounge and saw Puck and Sam hitting each other playfully. Puck was the first one to notice her sit down with them. "Sup Quinn, Hey Scoots said we gotta be on the plane by twelve. He also said that you being attached to Rachel again isn't a smart move." Sam was the one to hit him again but not so playfully that time. Quinn frowned confusedly at him and was about to ask him what the fuck is he talking about, but Sam interrupted. "Quinn Scooter never said that, Puck did and-" This time Puck interrupted him. "Dam right I did! Listen Quinn, I know this is gonna be hard to hear,  but being with Rachel again is a bad idea." Quinn scoffed and crossed her arms together in indifference. "What are you talking about you lunatic?" Puck sighed. "I'm talking about how you got this whole 'I just got laid walk.' And don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about because the Puckster knows." Quinn uncrossed her arms but rolled her eyes at him. "First of all, that is none of your business. Second of all, who cares if Rachel and I get back together? That's all I've wanted since we broke up and who are you to tell me I can't?" Puck shook his head in frustration. "Dude, have you even thought about what would happen if you guys did? Sure, at the moment it would be all rainbows and butterflies when we go back home, but what about after school? What happens when you go off on tour and she goes to school at NYDIA?" Even if Quinn wasn't speechless about what she was gonna say, Puck still went on his mini rant. "I'll tell you what happens, she goes off to be a successful broadway star and you're gonna be on tour every single day. Now I don't know much about relationships, but I do know that long distance never works." Puck then sat back with a heavy sigh of his own. Sam sat there just as speechless as Quinn was at Puck's outburst. They sat there for a few minutes until Sam finally spoke up for all of them. "This is stupid, Quinn I can second that I don't want to see you hurt again. I also want to see you be happy again, so if you want to be with Rachel again then do it. Sure, maybe you guys will have different paths in life, but it doesn't mean that your love won't withstand that. My dad always said, that if it's mean to be then it's meant to be." Quinn smiled at that as did Puck. "I guess he's right and I'm sorry Quinn, it's just that...you're my best friend and seeing you like that for a couple of months was torture for me. I just don't want you to go through that again." Quinn smiled and nodded as she reached over and patted his shoulder lovingly. "I don't know why people say you're just a dumb jock. They really should be saying you're a dumb loveable jock." They all laughed as they ordered some breakfast. Luckily Rachel came down after their little heart to heart. They all laughed and shared stories as they ate their breakfast. Quinn couldn't help but sneak glances at Rachel as they ate. Quinn was wondering whether they were back together or not, but she wanted to wait until they were completely alone to ask Rachel if they were. Unbeknownst to Quinn, Rachel was wondering the same thing. She just didn't know how to go about it. Maybe they could talk once they got back home.

The plane finally landed and all of them felt extremely exhausted. It was two am and Quinn felt like she should kiss the ground to say a quick thank you. She always did hate flying, no matter how much her parents always made her do it for their stupid business trips. She hasn't even gotten a word out of them in a couple of months. Quinn wonders if she ever will... "Alright, Sam and I will get an Cab back together. So, see ya love birds tomorrow at school." Puck said as he put his arm around a tired Sam and made their way to the parked cabs in front of them. Rachel and Quinn both waved goodbye to them and stood next to each other awkwardly. Quinn was the first to speak. "Um, should we get a cab together too? I mean, I kind of spent half of my allowance money on the mobile games they had on the plane." Quinn told Rachel cheekily, as she rubbed the back of her neck in embarrassment. Rachel laughed loudly as she nodded and took Quinn's hands in hers. "Come on you big goof."

They got to Quinn's house first and Rachel decided to walk Quinn up to her door. "Hey, I can just give you a ride back to your place ya know?" Quinn said as she rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand. Rachel chuckled and shook her head no. "And have you fall asleep at the wheel? No thanks Quinnie." Quinn immediately smiled at the nickname. "Okay, maybe I can pick you up in a couple hours?" Quinn asked her curiously but with hopefulness shining in her eyes. Rachel smiled at Quinn and nodded. "I'd like that." They stared into each other's eyes for a moments until they heard a loud honk behind them. "Come on! It's three in the morning lady, I got places to be!" Quinn groaned as Rachel turned around with a huff. "One second sir!" Rachel turned back around and quickly placed a goodbye kiss on Quinn's lips. "Okay, now I can leave." Rachel said with a teasing smile and walked away with a sway in her hips. Quinn smiled in a daze as she watched Rachel get in the city cab. She watched as the cab drove away and smiled as she unlocked her front door.
