CHAPTER 10

QUINN POV:

It's been two weeks since Santana started attending ballet classes in BAE. She has goes half days everyday in school, but she didn't resign yet in Franklin's Diner, so she spends her half left time at work, and gets home around nine or ten.

By the time she arrives, she's very exhausted and ready for bed. I'm lucky if she'd eat dinner with Rachel, Kurt, and I, but it's understandable.

I prepared a dinner tonight… She promised she'll get home early. I looked up at the wall clock, and it says 10:18 in the evening.

"Quinn, can I just bite with these foods on my plate? I'm really, really hungry.", Rachel looked on her plate on the dinner table and form a pout face.

"So am I.", Kurt second the motion.

"Me neither, but I want us to eat dinner together. Can we wait for another 10 minutes, please?", Quinn begged.

"Fine. I'll just look at it, and imagine that I'm eating.", Rachel said.

"Such a drama queen, Rachel.", Kurt said.

After a minute of staring at each other, and rubbing their hungry tummies, we finally heard a knock.

______________________________________________

SANTANA POV:

Damn… My feet, bones and every part of my physical body are aching. Ballet is not a very easy career… I have to be serious about it. Damn work too, but I need to keep my work to have an extra budget for ballet. Urgh! I don't know if I still could have dinner, all I wanna do is to be on my bed with Quinn and have a peaceful evening.

"Quinn, I'm here… please open the door.", I don't really have enough energy to be sound so excited, but I am really excited to see them, especially Quinn.

The door slid open and there's Quinn. I smiled excitedly when I saw her face, "Hey, babe!", She said, still beaming.

"Hi, babe!", I leaned forward and pressed a warm kiss on her lips.

"I thought you were gonna be late.", She took the duffle bag on my left shoulder.

"I really am late, babe."

"Yeah, I'm just messing up with you.", She giggled. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug, "I miss you these past few days, you know.", She slowly pulled back and smiled at me, "That's why I made a dinner, Rachel and Kurt are waiting in the kitchen. Come on, let's eat."

"Q, I-I'm sorry. I can't. But thanks for the dinner, I know I already love it, but I just wanna go to bed, if you don't mind? I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow.", I smiled and kissed her on her forehead.

"Hmm, okay. It's fine. I'm not gonna push you to eat. You want me to massage your back later?", She offered.

"No, it's fine. Just give me another hug before I go to sleep.", I smirked and invite her into my open arms. We both flopped down on the couch… I snuggled into the crook of her neck. I considered this as one of my favorite hobbies. Quinn is like a drug to me, I'm so addicted to her smell, her eyes, her hair, her smile and for taking good care of me.

"I love you… And I miss having dinner with you.", She sounds so sad, "You owe me a lot, Lopez.", She lay her head on my chest, and trailed her fingers on my collar bone.

I lifted her chin to look me in the eye, "Don't be upset, Quinn. I'll get up early in the morning to cook a breakfast for you.", I promised.

"'Kay… That's perfect… Good night. And don't forget to take a shower!"

I sniff onto my shirt, damn… I smelled like a fish, "Yeah, I won't.", We got up from the couch, and both gave a good night kiss.

______________________________________________

REGULAR POV:

2 days have passed since Quinn made a dinner for the Latina. Santana made a promise to Quinn to make a breakfast the next day, but the blonde was the one who got up first…. To make the story short, Santana broke her promise.

Quinn still could understand though, but she's thinking a lot why, or what is happening to her girlfriend. She wanted to ask her about school, work, and activities… She can't 'cause the Latina doesn't have time to talk. And now it's upsetting her more and more.

Quinn has been sitting on their bed for 7 minutes still thinking about her girlfriend.

"Am I not a good girlfriend?", She asked to herself looking at the mirror she and Santana bought. It's one of their vintage collection.

"Am I not enough? Am I not beautiful?", She asked more.

"You're beautiful, wonderful, and a good girlfriend, Quinn.", Quinn screamed to death when she heard the voice.

She turned around to see the person, "Kurt! Don't you know how to knock?", Quinn's heart still beats fast.

"Umm duh? I will if you have a door?", Kurt said the fact.

"Kurt I'm upset.", Quinn pouted.

"I heard… Well, you have to talk about it with Santana. Do you have lotion? I can't find mine.", Kurt asked, Quinn opened her drawer and handed the lotion to him.

"How? She's exhausted when she got home. Last week I'd still see her, but the past few days when she got home, I'm already asleep and when I got up in the morning she's already gone. My point here is… why the hell she didn't wake me up?!", Quinn burst from anger and frustration.

"Whoa! Calm your tits, Lucy.", Kurt giggled nervously, "Find the real reason why, or maybe she's just really tired… Or… hmm, you can be 'fake mad' at her.", Kurt wiggled her eyebrows.

"Fake mad at her? I think I don't like the idea of that… It might lead us to fight. When I'm tired all I want to do is to snuggle with my bed, and lost in my dreams that's why I understand her. I'm just upset that we don't have the time to talk."

"Well, that was just an option. It'll get her attention you know, she loves you and she can't stand you not talking to her.", Kurt got up and handed back to Quinn the lotion, "So, I have to go. I have a date with Adam.", Kurt squeal.

"D'aww… Enjoy your date and have fun!", She hugged Kurt and patted his back.

"Good luck when she gets home, just try and talk to her.", He told the blonde.

"I'll try.", Quinn smiled at her friend.

Kurt said goodbye, after the blonde heard the door slid close she took her towel and straight ahead in the bathroom. 15 minutes of taking a shower and at the same time thinking about her girlfriend, she shuffled around the room to find her phone.

Quinn: What time will you get home?

Santana: hmmm, 4 pm.

Quinn: Perfect! See you later… I love you 3

Santana: :) I love you too! 3

Quinn grabbed the clothes she already prepared and put it on. She grabbed her keys and straight ahead to go to school.

______________________________________________

Kurt and Rachel decided to watch Disney movies when they both got home at 3, not much later Quinn got home early too. She asked for the missing Latina, but both Rachel and Kurt never heard of her the whole day. Quinn decided to leave the house to run errands. She bought some flour and everything she needed to bake cookies.

She got off the taxi and looked at her watch… it says 6:27 pm. She's hoping that Santana is home already so that they can make cookies together. She ran up to the stairs, she's on their floor now. She slid open the door and saw her girlfriend laughing with their friends.

"Heeyyy… Did I miss something?", She asked. Santana got up from the couch to help her girlfriend with the bags in her hands.

The brunette leaned forward for a kiss and it gave tingles to the both of them, "What are these, Q?", Santana wrinkled her eyebrows.

"Hmm, I thought maybe you and I would want to have some bonding time… Make cookies together?"

"D'aww… So sweet.", Rachel squeal.

Santana's mouth forms a letter O, "Oohhh, I –ah… Actually, I had dinner already. I need to sleep early 'cause we have to be in class like 5 am."

"Is that serious? 5 am in the morning?", Quinn started to get upset.

"Yeah, we have to—", Then she got cut off by the blonde.

"You know what, fine. I'll just bake this by myself.", She said monotonously. She took the grocery bags that was in Santana's hands, and walked towards the kitchen area.

"Quinn, heeyy… Are you upset?", The Latina still asked even though it's written all over the blonde's face.

"Am I upset? Am I upset? Are you kidding me!?", Quinn laughed sarcastically.

Santana was about to say something, but got cut off again by Quinn.

"You don't have the time to talk, right? So, I don't wanna talk either! You don't have the time to bake?", Quinn threw all the bags in the trash bin that that was in the left side of the kitchen counter, "There! All of these are nothing but a trash.", Then after a second she stormed out.

Santana was left alone. Kurt and Rachel ran into the kitchen to see the stunned Latina.

"Did she just storm out and get mad because of cookies?", She asked. Kurt and Rachel looked at each other and answered the Latina with a shrug.

______________________________________________

"Quinn, can I come in?", Santana asked nervously.

"No. You'll sleep on the couch.", Quinn's voice is cold. Santana slid a bit of the curtain to see what Quinn's doing. The blonde is sitting on the mini rocking chair and reading a book.

"Is that Harry Potter you're reading?", She's still trying to get the blonde's attention.

"Isn't it obvious?", She deadpanned sarcastically.

"Quinn, you're not serious, are you?", She walked in and knelt down to face the blonde.

Quinn got up on her seat and stood by the window, "I'm serious, Santana…", Santana hugged her from behind.

"Quinn, I'm sorry. I just can't find how to handle my time right now, you know I don't want to leave you all the time, and it upsets me not sharing what is happening on my daily life in school."

Quinn walked again into another corner of the room, "You know I understand and I always try, but this is frustrating! It feels like I'm not enough-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… Are you saying that it comes to your thinking that I'm cheating on you?"

"What? No?"

"You said you felt that you're not enough, what is the meaning of that, Quinn?"

Tears started falling down the blonde's cheeks, "It still haunting me, Santana. My fears, my insecurity and everything!", She sounds so frustrated.

"Quinn, I'm not cheating on you. You have to trust me. I won't do that to you."

"Then why do you still allow Brittany to text you?", Santana furrowed her eyes, "I know she's texting you."

"But I'm not texting her back.", She defended.

"And you're not denying that she's texting you?", Quinn asked in whispers while tears run down on her face.

Santana held her hand, "Quinn, I'm not gonna lie, she always texts me all day to please me to be friends again with her. I'm still not answering any of her texts or calls. But if I do, you have to trust me Quinn. I'm not gonna leave you. Remember what I said to you? I will love you… All the time."

Quinn grasp away her hands, Santana was shocked by the sudden act, "Quinn, please… don't walk away. I couldn't sleep when you're mad at me! Let's fix this!", Her voice is breaking.

But the blonde didn't turn around and about to leave the house.

"Quinn, Stop!", Santana ran fast towards the blonde to catch her.

"Leave me alone!"

"No! I won't let you walk by yourself like this! Quinn, please stop!"

She made her best to catch the blonde. She grabbed Quinn by the hand, turned her around and hugged her so tight.

"Quinn, please… Let's go back. Don't leave me like this, don't walk away like this.", She begged.

Quinn pushed her slowly. She kissed the Latina's forehead. She hailed a taxi, and left the Latina on the street.

She headed back to their apartment… Kurt and Rachel hugged her so tight.

"We're sorry, San."

"I should go to bed...", Santana said, trying to wipe away the tears streaming on her cheeks.

Santana was left alone in the room. With her head in her hands she sits and cried until she drifted off to sleep.

______________________________________________

SANTANA POV:

I woke up by the ring of my alarm clock… My eyes still close and it feels so heavy. I opened my eyes slowly, the room is spinning. My head aches from crying all night. I looked once more on my alarm clock… it's 4 in the morning. I have to get up to fix the props that we wil use for the upcoming presentation this coming Saturday.

I was about to head to the bathroom, but then I saw Quinn sleeping on the couch. I walked towards to her and knelt down to see her face. Strands of hair blocking on her face, I tucked those behind her ears to see her face, but the face of the blonde girl in front of me made me so upset, there were dried tears on her cheeks. I trailed kisses from her forehead, to her nose, and down to her lips… I whispered, "I love you.", between kisses. I held her hand and kissed her knuckles for the final kiss before I go ahead.

I was about to head again into the bathroom when her hand that I was holding holds tighter.

"I'm sorry… Please don't go.", Her eyes slowly open.

I smiled when I heard her voice, "I'm sorry, but I have to. I'll be here first before you get home."

"Promise?"

"I'm not going to promise, I'll just do it. I just need you to trust me."

"I trust you.", The last she said before she drift off to sleep again. I tucked her into the blanket and gave her another kiss.

I headed into the bathroom to take a shower, get dressed, took my bag. Then after, I looked once more to the sleeping beauty on the couch, I smiled then slid the door close.

______________________________________________

7 o'clock in the evening…

Santana got home so early, there was nothing important to do with each classes that she was about to attend so she decided to ditch school.

Kurt and Rachel helped her to prepare a dinner for the four of them. The three of them made Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast for the main course.

Santana bought flowers too, Lily's is Quinn's favorite flower, she didn't know why but she'd still bought it for her.

Kurt and Rachel are still in their room to change clothes.

Not long enough they'd heard a loud knock. The door slid open.

"Hey blonde you're late!", Santana shouted with a chuckle from the kitchen.

Santana heard footsteps towards her. She's still pacing the counter, waiting for the blonde to hug her from behind.

She felt arms snaked around her waist, the blonde trailed kisses into the crook of her neck.

"Hmm, don't start babe, I know you can't wait to eat me… You see, I'm cooking these bacon for you."

The blonde behind her chuckled, "I don't like bacon, I only eat 'Santana' 'cause it taste like clouds.", Santana startled from the familiar voice and before she could react…

"Santana!", She heard Quinn's voice not so far from behind.

The arms around her waist loosened the hug

"What the fuck?", She thought. Her eyes wide open and her heart beats fast, she turned around… She saw Quinn looking at her and to the other… Oh god! Brittany?
