I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 36

It was the night of New Directions Sectional competition, the Glee Club were all getting ready in their choir room that had be transformed into a dressing room. Rachel walked up to Quinn from behind and tapped her on the shoulder, the blonde quickly spun around and took her girlfriends appearance in, "You look hot," Quinn breathed out.

Rachel blushed; she continued to be surprised by her girlfriend for praising her about her looks. The brunette quickly looked her blonde up and down, then she locked eyes with the co-head cheerleader, "Well I'm certainly not the only one who looks hot tonight," Rachel smirked. The couple was dressed up in their matching outfits for their performance, they had on a black, frilly skirt with a white button down top with a white dress jacket over the top, with the collar of the jacket black, and to top it off they had black bowties.

Quinn faked gasped, "Should I be worried? Who is it?"

The brunette giggled at their teasing banter. "Um, I don't know, Puck looks pretty handsome tonight, don't you think?"

The blonde knew her girlfriend was only joking, the couple had actually been spending some time with the mohawk boy, as they had recently started to frequently go around to see Shelby and Beth, and Quinn would always ask if the boy wanted to come with them because she didn't want to leave Puck out of anything when it was related to Beth. Quinn then looked over to see Puck trying to do up his bowtie and she gave out a small chuckle at his confused, yet concentrated face. The blonde then turned back to her girlfriend, "You think Puck's hot?" the blonde said as she raised her eyebrow and smirked.

"Maybe," Rachel smirked back.

Then Quinn burst out laughing, "You are seriously a bad liar, Rachel."

Then the brunette burst out laughing with her girlfriend. "I'm just a bad liar when it comes to you. You know me too well."

"That I do," Quinn said as she leaned in and gave her girlfriend a quick peek on the lips.

Once the couple pulled back Rachel pulled out something that she was hiding behind her back, "These are for you," the brunette said nervously, handing her girlfriend a bouquet of Gardenias with Pink Heather flowers assorted through the Gardenias. It was the same bouquet of flowers the blonde gave her girlfriend on the opening night of West Side Story.

Quinn blushed as she grabbed the flowers from her girlfriend. "I know you're only going to be in the spotlight tonight for only two lines, but I still wanted to say good luck and I'm so proud and happy that you get to sing, because I love your voice. And if it was up to me I would want you to be singing a solo, well that is if I'm not allowed too. So good luck, baby, knock everyone out with you sexy, sweet voice in those two lines. I know you can," Rachel smiled.

The blonde beamed down at her girlfriend, and leaned in to give her a chaste kiss, she didn't want it to get out of hand as the whole of the Glee club were around.

"Thank you, baby... I'm so excited to dance with you," Quinn said as she leaned out of the kiss.

"Me too," Rachel beamed. "I'm so happy Mr. Schue approved of Brittany's choreograph for Santana's and Mercedes' duet."

"Well I'm just happy I get to spin you around."

Rachel smiled. "Is everything ready for tonight?"

Quinn started to blush, "Umm ya it is."

The brunette heard the nervousness in her girlfriend's voice, "Quinn, are you okay? You know if you're still not ready we can wait."

The co-head cheerleader took at deep breath to calm her nerves down, then looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping into their conversation, then looked back at her girlfriend. "I'm ready; I told you I was last week. Mom left for her business trip this morning and Santana is sleeping over at B's."
