Different worlds

Chapter 16

Rachel arrived at her girlfriend's house just after lunch on Sunday, as planned. The brunette knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Quinn swung the door opened and beamed when she saw her girlfriend.

"Hey baby," Quinn said as she leaned over and gave her girlfriend a peck on the lips. Once the couple separated Rachel smiled, "How was church this morning?"

"It was good," Quinn said with a shrug. The Cheerio doesn't really talk about church to anyone, so that's why she kept it short. The brunette knowing that Quinn doesn't talk much about church, not that she feels uncomfortable, more that she just likes to keep it to herself didn't bother Rachel when she heard the short answer.

Rachel then handed over a single white stemmed Rose to her girlfriend "This is for you," the brunette shyly smiled.

Quinn's smile broadened as she took the flower from her girlfriend, "Thank you..." the blonde voiced. "This is actually the first time someone has given me a flower."

The brunette's eyebrows shot up in surprise "Really?"

The cheerleader nodded "Yeah..."

"No one... Not even Emily?" Rachel asked.

Quinn shook her head. "Emily and I were nothing like us... We didn't really do dates or anything like that..." the blonde trailed off, not really wanting to get into details.

Rachel just nodded, silently regretting bringing Emily up. Quinn could see the hesitation from her girlfriend, "If you want to talk about Emily and I, I won't hold anything back... But please not today... Today's special, and I don't want anything or anyone to get in the way."

The brunette smiled and nodded. "I agree."
"Okay, good... And I'm all ready to leave," Quinn stated.
"Great," Rachel beamed.
"Just let me put this in my room," Quinn said holding up the flower to her girlfriend. The brunette nodded and let Quinn turn to quickly walk up to her room.

Once the couple left the Madden/Fabray household, they walked over to Rachel's Yellow Beetle. To Quinn's surprise Rachel walked to the passenger seat door and opened it; she then turned and waited for her girlfriend to hop into the car. Quinn gave out a shy smile... As this was the first time someone was actually trying to woo her... Though it's not like Rachel needed to woo her, she was already hers.

The blonde made her way to hop into the car but Rachel's light touch on her wrist stopped her. She looked up confused. Rachel stood nervously opening and closing her mouth.

"Is everything okay?" Quinn asked as she stood back up.
The brunette took a breath in and then answered, "I just need you to promise me something?"
Quinn's eyebrows shot up confused, but then she nodded, "What is it?"
"I just want you to have an open mind today... Please don't get angry or upset about where I've decided to take you for our date." Still confused and still with her eyebrows raised, Quinn spoke up, "Where are you taking me?"

"I can't tell you that otherwise I'm more than positive you will say no," Rachel said nervously, still holding onto the car door, but it felt like a support beam... The brunette knowing she had to say this to her girlfriend otherwise when they got to their designation she knew the blonde would freak out.

Quinn stepped back a little from her girlfriend; she wanted a little more distance between them, "Where are you taking me, Rachel?"

"I am... I can't tell you," Rachel stuttered out. "Just... Just please trust me."

The blonde took a breath. "I don't know if I can, you're kind of freaking me out here."

Rachel pushed her hand off the door and walked over to her scared girlfriend, wrapping her arms around said girlfriend's neck. "Look, I know it's hard for you to place trust in other people, but please do it for me... I promise that today has nothing but the best of interests for you."
