FanFic: Perhaps a great love is never returned (2/?)
A/N Hey guys here's the second chapter, hope you like it! Revies are always appreciated! :)
Your first meeting is arranged to take place at her house, 7 o'clock sharp. At 6:50 you're outside her front door, you spent 15 minutes trying to convince yourself that you'll restrain the urge to struggle her or worse, kiss her every time she opens her mouth.
With a sigh you ring the bell.
A tall black man comes to open the door, you feel kind of intimated by the hostile way he's looking at you.
"Hi Mr. Berry. I'm Quinn, I'm Rachel's…friend." You introduce yourself but you know that the last part is a lie, you two have never been friends, you're the girl who's been bullying his daughter for no obvious reason for the past 6 years. He most probably knows who you are and how much pain you've caused to her, which makes the situation even more awkward.
"QUINN!" You hear her voice, her father takes a step back and you can see her, happily running down the stairs. She seems so excited to see you, she welcomes you with an unexpected hug, you sigh in relief and you let yourself return the hug. She takes you by the hand and you just follow her upstairs.
You're standing in front of a door with a huge gold star on it, she opens the door and you follow her inside. You take a look around, everything is pink and bedazzled, you start wondering if this room belongs to Barbie which makes you smile. Her mentality is that of a 10 year old. As if she could get any cuter.
"Ok Quinn take a seat and let's begin." She says and she claps her hands enthusiastically. "I have prepared a PowerPoint presentation." She puts the slide show in full screen and you notice that the title is '4+1 simple steps to conquer Mercedes Jones' heart' with a photo of Mercedes surrounded by little pink hearts.
Step 1
'Write her a poem and leave it in her locker with no name on it'
"As you probably know Quinn, I'm really talented in writing lyrics. Also every girl loves the thought of having a secret admirer. It's very intriguing. She'll definitely be very flattered. I mean who wouldn't? Right?" She asks with a huge smile, you nod in agreement she takes that as a sign to continue and she moves on to the next step.
Step 2
'Give her flowers'
"I already know that she loves pink roses, I asked Kurt and even though he found it a bit suspicious at first he finally told me. I may have bribed him with a coupon for 20% discount at GAP." She chuckles and you try not to die from cuteness overload.
Step 3
'Serenade her with a Whitney Houston song'
"We once had a sleepover at my house and I remember her mentioning that Whitney Houston is her idol. Combine that with my 'strongest weapon', my voice and you get an amazing result. It'll probably be very difficult for her to resist the thought of taking me right there and then but I'll try to not be overly sexy and flirtatious." She's waiting anxiously for your feedback.
"That's… interesting!" You say and give her a warm smile.
Step 4
'Ask her out on a date at Breadstix'
"After she's been serenaded by my voice she won't be able to deny me a romantic dinner under the candle lights at Breadstix, it's her favorite restaurant after all." You nod and she changes the slide.
Step 4+1
'Kiss her'
"That's pretty self explanatory." She's trying not to blush and she's waiting for your approval. "Do you think that my plan will work?"
"Well that was…impressive. You've really thought about everything. To be honest you sounded a bit stalker-ish, I mean you know things about her that I don't even know."
"B-but will it work?"
"I-I don't know Rachel, I always thought that Mercedes likes boys…only. I'm not sure that your plan will be successful, it's not like she's gonna change her sexual orientation because of you. You'll get rejected and hurt." She seems disappointed and sad, just by seeing her like that you feel a pinch in your heart and you start to regret about what you said. Maybe you should have agreed with her and tell her that her plan was genius. But you know that Mercedes will never develop romantic feelings for Rachel and she's gonna get heartbroken once again, just the thought of it is killing you.
She takes a deep breath and asks "Have you ever been in love Quinn?"
You don't know what to say, you had three boyfriends so far but you were never in love with any of them. You slept with Puck because you felt fat and you were really drunk, Finn and Sam both were a stepping stone for you to become prom queen. You realize that you've never been in love with anyone but her. "Yes I have." You answer back.
"So you know that you can't face love rationally. I can't help myself Quinn, I love her. And I want her to love me back. I also know that she'll most probably reject me but I'll take my chances. I don't want to spend my life asking myself 'what if'." She wipes a tear running down her cheek. "So… Are you going to help me or what?"
"I'll help you."
"Thank you Quinn, thank you." She says and she hugs you once again, she leans back and she gives you a kiss on the cheek. Your heart is pounding so hard you feel like you're going to explode, everything inside you is screaming you to kiss her.
You break the hug and you put your head bitch in charge face on. You stand up and you get ready to leave. "I am not doing it because I like you Streisand. Don't forget that you have to help me get Finn back."
"Yes of course." She says and she gives you a warm smile.
"I guess it's time for me to go. See you tomorrow at school, be ready to start with the first step of your plan. " You say as you head towards the door.
"Hey Quinn?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think about 'Rachcedes'?"
You sigh as you turn the knob of the door. "Goodnight Rachel."
