"Do you think these look pretty?" Rachel asks.

"Yeah. Those are her favorite color," Quinn smiles.

"Okay, then let's get them."

The day of the anniversary party was there, and Rachel wanted to get some flowers as a gift to her sister and Russell. And of course, her girlfriend came along with her.

After they made their selection, they walk up to wait in line to pay.

Quinn wraps her arms around the small woman from behind and rests her head on her shoulder. Rachel sinks into her hold and sighs.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a little worried about today."

Quinn presses a kiss to her temple. "It's all gonna be over before you know it. Trust me, okay?"

"Of course I trust you."

"Good."

Rachel nods, "Mhmm. I love you."

The blonde squeezes her tighter and says, "I love you too."

"Rachel? Rachel Berry?"

Both girls are startled and turn around suddenly to see who was speaking to Rachel. The woman's eyes widen while Quinn has a slight look of confusion. Where has she seen this face before?

But luckily, she doesn't have to wait long until she has her answer.

"Kurt?" Rachel's mouth drops open.

Kurt smiles, "I knew it was you. I'd recognize that voice anywhere."

The two embrace in an enormous hug and Quinn takes a step back so she doesn't get knocked over.

"Oh my god! It's been years!" Kurt exclaims.

"I know!" Rachel replies gleefully as she pulls away. "It's so good to see you!"

She looks to Quinn and says, "Oh! This is my friend, Kurt. We've known each other since high school." Rachel then looks at her old friend and doesn't hesitate when she says, "And this is Quinn, my girlfriend."

Kurt politely shakes her hand, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I think I'll let you guys catch up," Quinn smiles politely as she gets back in line to pay for the bouquet of flowers.

Kurt looks back at Rachel and grins, "Wow, I never thought I'd see you in Lima again. Last time we talked, you were high-tailing to New York."

"I just moved back recently. I wanted to give you a call. But I thought maybe you forgot about me...or that you were upset with me."

"Rachel, please," Kurt scoffs. "I never took it personally. There's no shame in adding some excitement into your life."

Rachel smiles in gratitude at his understanding.

Kurt lowers his voice, "So I'm guessing that it didn't work out with...what was his name? Finn?"

"Yes, Finn. And no, it didn't work out. That's why I came back."

He knows that there's a juicy story behind this. But Rachel probably wouldn't be up to discussing it around the girl she was with. Speaking of which...

"And I see that you've found someone else. She's stunning! And she's young. Nice grab," he winks.

Rachel blushes with a smile, "Quinn is wonderful. It's getting serious between us. And since I know you're just dying to ask...yes, she's the first girl I've been with."

Kurt tilts his head as he studies her, "Well you're just full of surprises, aren't you?"

She shifts under his gaze and decides to change the subject, "What about you? Anyone special in your life?"

"Yes! That's why I stopped by here, actually," he holds up the bouquet of flowers that he had just purchased. "His name is Blaine. And we're engaged!"

"Congratulations!" Rachel says excitedly. "That's so amazing!"

"It is! I'm going to start planning the wedding soon." He looks down at his watch, "And I actually need to get going. But we should get together soon and catch up some more."

"Yes! We should. Here..." Rachel pulls out her phone and hands it to him. "Save your number and I'll call you when I'm free."

"You'd better." He hands the phone back and shakes his head with a smile, "I still can't believe I ran into you. Crazy how life works out, right?"

She nods in agreement. Rachel of all people knows that this was true.

"I'll be waiting for that call!" Kurt says as he walks towards the door. "And it was nice meeting you, Quinn!"

"You too!" The girl reappears next to Rachel and takes her hand. "Are you ready to go?" she asks.

"Yes!" Rachel tilts her head up to kiss her. "Let's go."

It's already getting dark when they pull up in front of her house, but they can still see that there are several other cars outside that belong to her parents' guests. Quinn looks around carefully to make sure that there's no one else out there. She then kills the engine and looks at her phone to see a new text.

"Marley is almost here," she says.

Rachel nods and takes off her seatbelt. "I should probably go in first. Then you guys after a little while."

"You don't have to."

"It makes sense," she starts to open the car door.

"Rachel," Quinn grabs a hold of her elbow. "Can you please just stay here with me for a bit?"

Rachel sighs and closes the door, "Okay."

"I know that you're mad and -"

"I'm not mad at you," Rachel interrupts. "But I'm not exactly thrilled about this either," she mumbles.

Quinn gently strokes her hand with the pad of her thumb. "We don't have to do this. Just tell me, and I'll stop this whole thing."

Rachel shakes her head, "We're already this far. If we turn back now, Judy will just start asking you more questions."

The blonde sighs. It was true. She wishes things would be easier.

Marley's car pulls up behind them. Rachel takes a deep breath and opens the door again.

She turns back to Quinn to say, "And remember, nothing more than hand holding or hugging. If she kisses you, I swear to god, I'll kill her."

Quinn chuckles, "I know, baby. You can trust me."

"Well it's not you that I'm worried about."

"Hey. I love you. And I'm all yours after this."

Rachel smiles, "I love you too. See you soon."

Quinn watches as she closes the door and rushes inside the house.

After a few moments, she gets out and walks towards Marley's car. The girl gets out as well.

"You look nice," Quinn compliments.

"You too," Marley grins. She looks toward the house, "Are you ready?"

"I guess so," she sighs. "Are you sure that you're okay with doing this?"

"You're my friend. Friends help each other out," Marley says.

"Right," Quinn murmurs. She still feels bad for both Marley and Rachel. But they might as well get this over with. "Shall we?"

She leads Marley into the house. They're greeted with a large amount of people in the downstairs area talking amongst each other. She spots her dad first in the living room with some colleagues. He sees them and smiles as Quinn walks up to him.

"Hey dad, have you seen mom?"

"Last I saw, she was in the kitchen."

Quinn nods, but Russell speaks again before she can go.

"So, is that her?" he subtly tilts his head to Marley on the other side of the room.

"Yeah, that's her."

"She's even prettier than I imagined. Make sure you introduce me later, kiddo."

"I will, dad," she smiles and makes her way back to Marley, saying hello to a few familiar faces along the way. The place was mainly comprised of her parents' co-workers from the hospital. Puck was invited, but he said that he would be busy and couldn't make it.

"This way," Quinn ushers Marley to the kitchen.

Before they go in, she stops and takes a deep breath, then pushes the door open.

She sees Judy, Rachel, and a few other older women sipping from wine glasses and laughing together.

Judy sees them come in and beams, "Quinn! You're back!"

She rushes over to greet them but keeps her excited eyes trained on Marley. "And who's this?"

Quinn clears her throat, "Mom, this is Marley."

Marley gives a perfect smile and shakes her hand, "It's nice to finally meet you. And this is such a lovely party. Thank you so much for inviting me."

"Aww, that's so sweet of you to say." Judy drops her hand and pulls her in for a hug instead. "I'm glad that Quinn has such a nice girl."

Quinn glances behind them to see Rachel downing her wine like it's water, all the while watching the exchange between Marley and Judy.

She grabs Marley's wrist and says to her mom, "Okay mom. We'll let you get back to your guests now."

"There's plenty of food if you're both hungry," Judy offers.

"Maybe in a little while," Quinn smiles as she and Marley leave the kitchen.

The older Fabray turns to Rachel and gushes, "What a great kid! She seems perfect for Quinn."

"I guess so. You seem to like her already," Rachel mumbles as she refills her wine glass.

"What's not to like? She's polite, gorgeous, and seems like she's really the perfect match for Quinn. I'm gonna try to talk to her more later. Poor Quinn probably doesn't want me to embarrass her."

"You know, you're right. Maybe you should talk to her more so you can really get to know her," Rachel suggests, being a little too forward.

Judy frowns, "What's with you?"

"Nothing. There's just something about her that I don't like. You know I have this thing about reading people."

Rachel knows that there's no turning back now with the whole Marley thing. But she was going to do her best to make it end as soon as possible. Even if if meant trying to get Judy to not like the girl.

"You're not always right, you know," Judy teases. "And you never know. Maybe this girl is the one. I was that young when I met Russell after all. And look at where we are now," Judy gestures to the party going on around them. "Twenty years later."

Rachel purses her lips and forces a smile. The thought of someone else being the one for Quinn just wrecks her.

She raises her glass and says, "Well here's to you and Russell. And many more years to come."

Judy clinks her own glass against Rachel's, "I'll drink to that."

Quinn and Marley go to the backyard which was completely empty and sit down across from each other at the table on the patio.

The blonde lets out a puff of air, "That wasn't too bad."

"Not at all," Marley says. "And your mom seems wonderful."

"Thanks," Quinn smiles. "I think she liked you."

"You think?"

Both girls laugh. It was obvious that Judy absolutely adored Marley right away. But Quinn didn't know whether or not that was a good thing.

"Again, thank you for doing this for me," Quinn says. "And for Rachel. It's probably all too much for you by now."

"No, I've already told you it's fine. I'm happy to do this for you."

Quinn smiles. She doesn't know how she lucked out with such a good friend.

"How's Rachel holding up with all of this?" Marley asks.

She sighs, "She's definitely not happy. But she knows it's going to be okay in the end."

"Well despite everything, I'm enjoying myself."

"Really?" Quinn grins.

"Of course. You're a lot of fun. I like spending time with you."

Before Quinn has the chance to reply, the back door opens and Judy comes walking out.

Trying to keep up the facade, Marley reaches over and takes her hand like she's been holding it the whole time.

Rachel appears right behind Judy, but makes no movement to step out of the doorway.

"Hey girls!" Judy says as she sits down next to Marley. "Sorry Quinn, but I was wondering if I could have some alone time with Marley for a bit."

Quinn notices the subtle smirk on Rachel's face as she closes the door to go back inside. She turns to her mom, "Sure thing. Just try not to scare her too much."

Judy shoos her away, "I know. I promise I'll be nice."

She knows that her mom was planning her version of an interrogation and looks to Marley for any sign of discomfort, but the girl just smiles and gives the slight nod of her head.

"Okay then," Quinn says. "I'll be inside."

She leaves the two alone outside and steps in the house through the back door. She walks through the crowd of people and is barely able to see Rachel at the top of the stairs and turning the corner.

Glancing around, Quinn makes sure that no one is looking before she ascends the stairs to reach her love. She sees that the door to her bedroom is closed and smiles. She walks over and turns the knob to go inside.

Rachel is sitting at the edge of her bed and turns to her, smiles softly, "Hey you."

Quinn closes the door behind her. "Hey yourself," she answers back.

She goes to sit next to her girlfriend on the bed. "So, what brings you to my room?" she asks.

"Oh, you know," Rachel shrugs. "I just needed some alone time."

"Did you want me to leave you alone?" Quinn starts getting up, but is stopped by the older woman.

"No. Don't leave. I actually think you're just what I need right now. I have a problem."

Quinn raises an eyebrow, "Oh?" She then gulps when Rachel trails her hand along her thigh. "Maybe you can talk to me about it? I'm a very good listener."

Rachel looks up at her through her eyelashes. Quinn can tell that she's enjoying this little act that they're doing.

"Well you see, I saw the most beautiful girl downstairs," Rachel purrs.

"Did you?"

"Mhmm. But I don't think that she noticed me at all."

Quinn trails her fingertips along the woman's jawline. "I don't believe that."

"No?"

"Not at all. I think that she'd be crazy not to notice you," she says lowly.

"Why do you say that?" Rachel gasps when Quinn leans over to lightly suck at her neck.

"Because," she kisses the base of her throat. "You're gorgeous. And so damn sexy."

Rachel moans and grasps at her waist, "Really? I find that hard to believe."

"Well believe it." She pushes her girlfriend back on the bed and gently nudges her to lay on her stomach. She then hovers over her and whispers into her ear, "When I saw you, you made me so hard that I almost couldn't control myself."

The woman props herself up on her elbows and looks over her shoulder, "What did you want to do to me?"

"This." She grinds her erection down against Rachel's ass and both girls groan simultaneously. She plants her hands flat on either side of Rachel's head and continues her ministrations. "I wanted you to see how hard I was for you."

"Quinn," Rachel whimpers. "Keep going baby..."

Quinn continues to rub her bulge against Rachel's rear. "I wanted to go right up behind you, and lift up this skirt." She does exactly that and bunches up Rachel's skirt around her waist. She stares down at the glorious ass covered in black lace and licks her lips.

"And then what?" Rachel moves her hips back against her.

Quinn quickly unbuckles her belt and pulls down her jeans and boxers hallway down her thighs, freeing her thick member. She leans back down over Rachel and starts grinding herself against the woman, only this time without the confinement of her jeans.

"And then I would have ripped off your underwear, and thrust my cock so hard into you that you would've screamed."

"Baby," Rachel pants. "Did you lock the door?"

Quinn stops and looks at her bedroom door with a frown. "I don't have a lock."

"Quinn!" She pushes her off and jumps up from the bed. "Someone could walk in!"

"Well," the blonde looks down at her hard on. "Fuck."

Fuck indeed, Rachel thinks. She quickly looks around trying to think of something.

She tugs Quinn's arm to pull her up. "Get on the floor."

"What?"

Rachel slides off her panties from underneath her skirt and gestures to the space on the floor between the bed and the wall. "If someone walks in, they won't be able to see us right here. We just have to be quick."

It makes sense to Quinn. Or maybe not really. She doesn't know. She just needs to be somewhere inside of Rachel right now.

The woman lays down on the floor flat on her back and pulls Quinn down to settle between her legs.

Quinn reaches down and moves the tip of her stiff cock to Rachel's entrance. She brings both of her fists up to rest at the space above her girlfriend's head and swiftly pushes in.

"Yes...that's it," Rachel groans as Quinn fucks her with long, hard strokes.

"I can't believe how tight you still are," they both chuckle together.

Rachel fists her hands into Quinn's shirt as their bodies move together in perfect sync. "I want you to cum as much as you can inside of me. So I can still feel you when we go downstairs."

"Oh god," Quinn fuses their lips together in a hot kiss. "It's crazy how dirty you are sometimes."

"Only for you." Rachel grasps at her tighter.

The blonde rests their foreheads together as she continues to slide herself in and out.

...until she faintly hears the doorknob turning.

She freezes and quickly presses her finger to Rachel's lips, silently telling her to not make any noise.

Rachel hears the door opening as well and they both hold their breaths and stay completely still.

"Quinn?" Judy's voice sounds throughout the room.

Both of their eyes widen as they stare each other, neither one daring to make any type of movement.

While it's likely only a few seconds, time seems to drag on forever for them until they hear the door close.

Quinn still doesn't move until a few moments later, when she slowly raises her head to peek at the doorway.

"All clear," she whispers.

"I told you no one would see us down here," Rachel whispers back with a smirk. "We could have been caught in the worst way possible."

"Shut up, Rachel," Quinn mumbles as she starts thrusting her hips again.

"Then make me," she challenges.

The blonde tilts Rachel's face towards her and she brings their lips together again.

Their pace picks up as they get closer to their peaks. Their moans are drowned out in each other's mouths which was quite useful right now.

Rachel's cries are muffled as Quinn feels her slick walls squeezing her tighter. It just takes a few more thrusts until she's releasing herself.

"Mmph!" she grunts with each time spurt of liquid shooting out. She definitely didn't hold back on Rachel's request.

When she thinks she's completely done, she finally detaches her mouth from her girlfriend's.

She smiles as she tries to catch her breath. Rachel brushes the hair out of her face and presses a kiss to her forehead.

"That was harder than I thought it would be," she mumbles. "And I'm not just talking about your cock."

Quinn laughs and shakes her head, "I know that it's hard for you to be quiet."

"I resent that. But I love you anyway."

"I love you too." Quinn captures her lips once again.

When the kiss was starting to get needy, Rachel gently pushes her shoulders and says, "We need to get back downstairs."

Quinn sighs, "Yeah, we really should."

They both get up from the floor and Rachel looks around for her underwear while her girlfriend tries to get her jeans and boxers back up her legs.

And neither of them have time to process what's happening when the door swings open again.

"Hey Quinn, are you- Oh my god!" A shell shocked Marley covers her mouth as she gapes at them from the doorway.

"Shit!"

Quinn's instant reaction is to cover herself up, and she does just that. But it's too late. Marley's already seen...it.

Rachel moves in front of Quinn and throws a sharp glare at Marley, which finally snaps her out of it.

"Sorry. Um...sorry."

The girl suddenly turns around and slams the door behind her.

"Fuck," Quinn seethes as she gets her pants on the rest of the way. "She saw me."

"Shh, it's okay," Rachel says softly.

"I need to go talk to her."

"What for?"
