CHAPTER 52:
Dusk Till Dawn.
Quinn

I always knew that I wanted Eli.

I wrote his name in my textbooks and journals, I admired him from afar, and I was torn apart when he left for Cobra Kai. Even then, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and act like things could go back to normal. But he still has things he needs to fix, even if I want to forgive him for being stupid and dumping me just to keep me away from everything.

And somehow, that resulted in me being back in Robby Keenes arms again.

"Looks like we can't stay away from eachother," Robby smiled at me as we walked to up my driveway.

"I know, right? Seems like everytime Eli fucks something up, I always find you," I was still upset with Robby too. He hurt Eli really badly, but I still couldn't find it in my heart to stay mad at him.

But why? Eli explained he wanted to protect me, and I know he went too far. It should be me with him tonight. It's what I've always wanted.

"Maybe it's fate," He suggested, trying to get closer to me.

"Or maybe it's you trying to win the tournament," I fired back with a shrug.

He sighed, "Not everything is-"

"Look, I'm thankful that you agreed to help me find out about Silver, but all of this," I gestured to him, "is over. I'm done with karate, I'm done with fighting over who I want and I just want to take my medicine and go to sleep."

"An eye for an eye."

"Exactly," I said.

"But thank you for the dance. And tell Tory I said hi," She was surprisingly not a bitch tonight. We've only interacted a few times but those few times she made an effort to make me feel worthless.

"Yeah, she was actually nice to you. Weird."

"She's probably just trying to find out info if she thinks I'm done with Miyagi-Do. But I'd never give anything up to her," I grabbed my keys.

"Why not?" Robby asked.

"I mean, you're not with them anymore. It's fair game, right?" He asked, hesitancy in his voice.

"I'm still on good terms with them. I don't get how all of you can just decide to hate eachother, and it concerns me that you all might even need therapy," I told him, turning the lock and walking inside before turning back to him.

"Whatever you do, just remember that Mr. LaRusso only wanted you to succeed," A certain look dawned in his eyes, like he made a mistake and knew he couldn't go back on it.

"Night, Robby."

"Night," He gave me a gentle smile before walking away and I closed my door.

Only one question remained as I looked at my empty home, not a person inside but me.

What do I do now?

I hadn't thought much about myself since the chaos started. Just what I would do with my life, the steps I set out for myself and the milestones I would succeed at.

Do I go back to being a regular teenager? Or do I just keep marking the steps to my future?

That's when I noticed the light on in my room.

I thought I turned it off.

I grabbed the nearest weapon, being the mini statue of the eiffel tower, and carefully made my way upstairs. I hesitated everytime the floorboards creaked, and felt my heart pounding in my chest.

"Who is there-?"

"Quinn!"

I screamed as I launched the statue at said person in my room and they dodged it.

"Eli?! What are you doing. . .in my room?" I drifted off.

"I pre-planned this all before. I-I had someone scheduled to decorate, and I forgot so I'm taking it all down. . ."

His voice faded out as I looked at my room. Rose petals on the floor, leading to a heart shape on my bed with my favorite vanilla pillow scent that I could smell, even from the doorway. The gentle flicker of four candles, all pink with calming scents and a pink bag on the center of the bed.

"Quinn? You are mad?"

I felt like an idiot. He had been planning this too, only it was way more romantic looking than I had pictured.

"How far long-? When did you plan this?" I asked, my voice small.

"Two years ago. I-If I wasn't a pussy and asked you out by then."

I hated my hormones. I hated that no matter what he could do, no matter what his excuses were, he always had me in mind. He always made a mistake while thinking of me.

"There will be ground rules for what we are, and what you will do and what I will do in this relationship," I wasn't going to just go with the flow anymore.

I needed to know.

"Do you love me?"

"Quinn. . .I always have," He said, getting closer to me as my hands gripped my dress.

"I will love you even if you're a million miles away from me," He whispered.

"No more doing anything you think would be good for me without asking me. No more guessing, no more taking chances. We discuss and we. . ." I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Getting all choked up already?" I could hear the cockiness in his voice.

"I'm serious. If we're going to make this work, I want it to be as equals," I expressed.

"Deal?"

"Deal."

"Good, now kiss m-"

I didn't even have to finish. His lips were on mine within a second, hungry for me like I had been for him since we were fifteen. His hands gripping my waist while mine gripped his chest, praying that he wouldn't notice just how much I wanted this.

"Eli, I-" He was in a daze as he pulled me back in, his hand on the back of my neck as his tongue slipped in and I let out the most embarrassing sound ever.

"Did you just. . .moan?"

"Shut up," I looked down, knowing that he was smirking right now.

"Can I hear it again?"

Don't be a pussy.

This is your night.

I looked up at him, "Only if I get to hear yours."

His face went red, but I doubt he was thinking much as I grabbed his hand and led him to my bed, pulling him ontop of me.

"Did you bring protection?" I breathed out, trying to close my legs so I would feel some type of friction.

"You want to go that far? Are you sure?" He asked.

"Only with you," He kissed me one more time before his lips trailed down my neck, and I felt like I was on fire as I yelped when he lightly bit a spot I never knew I had, and he focused on that part.

"E-Eli."

"Yes, princess?"

God damnit.

I was so nervous to ask but I needed it.

"Please touch me," I whimpered.

But he was nervous too.

"I don't know-"

"I'll show you but please, please touch me," I replied in a needy tone as he kissed me again, and I knew then that everything was going to be okay.

I didn't know how much love you could show to a person, how much you could cherish them but he showed me.

And I'll forever love him for it.
