I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 19

Saturday came around pretty fast for Quinn; it was 5:30 when the blonde was standing on the porch of the Berry residence waiting for someone to answer the door. Leroy opened the door after a couple of seconds waiting, "Hello Quinn, please come in. How are you?"

"Hey Leroy, I'm doing okay, I'm a bit nervous though," the blonde said honestly. She really got along with Leroy, she was always completely honestly with him and Hiram, and both of them respected her for it.

"You will be fine once you see Rach... She has been quite excited about this date."

"I'm hoping she will love what I have planned."

Then Rachel made her way down the stairs, Quinn looked up and couldn't take her eyes off the brunette, the ex-head cheerleader thought she was the most gorgeous person she has ever laid eyes on. The brunette was wearing an amazing pair of dark denim jeans that hugged her lower body perfectly; she had on a red singlet that also fit flawlessly to her body. Her outfit was finished off with a cute pair of black flats and a black cardigan that was draped over one of the brunette's lower arm. Her hair was in gorgeous curls with her bangs going straight across her forehead; the brunette was wearing just the simple amount of makeup. Rachel was beaming her Rachel Berry smile while she walked over to Quinn; Leroy moved out of the way giving the teenagers some space. The blonde was clutching onto something, she beamed back at Rachel and gave her a hug, "You look stunning, Rachel."

Rachel looked down, embarrassed by the endearing words, Quinn held out her hand that was clutching a cute little bear and handed it to the brunette. "This is for you, Rach." It was a small brown bear with the bear holding a gold star in its hands; it had a little inscription on the star saying 'You're my star'.

The brunette looked up and smiled, grabbing the bear, "Thank you Quinn, I don't know what to say."

"You're welcome... You don't need to say anything, you always say how stars are a metaphor to you and I've never seen any in your room, so I thought I would give you something that you can look at and be inspired by... Because one day I know you will become the star you want to be... But Rachel, you're already my star," Quinn said shyly.

Rachel just swooned, she just fell a little bit harder for the blonde, she was speechless. Luckily Quinn understood, "So anyways we better be off... I know you wouldn't want to be late."

The brunette nodded and turned to her dads', "Dad, daddy can you put Fanny on my bed, Quinn and I are going to leave now."

Both Hiram and Leroy came over to hug their daughter goodbye, "Have fun, Sweetie," Leroy said.

"Have fun girls," Hiram said.

"We will... I'll have Rachel back by curfew," Quinn said while smiling and placing her hand in Rachel's.

They both walked hand in hand to Quinn's car, "Fanny?" the blonde asked, wondering why Rachel named the bear she just gave her Fanny. "It's the name of Barbra's character in Funny Girl," Rachel replied in a shocked tone.

"Oh how could I forget," Quinn sarcastically replied smirking, "But the name does fit perfectly well with the bear."

The blonde opened the passenger's door for Rachel to hop in. She walked around to the driver's side and hopped in, then she turned to look at the brunette, "I'm really glad we're going on this date," Quinn smiled.

Rachel returned the smile, "I am too, Quinn. So where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise," the blonde beamed back and turned on her car, the CD player came on and the album from the Wicked musical took over the stereo and Rachel gasp with excitement.
