CHAPTER 13: I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK
"Get. Out. Now!", She ordered. She looked to the blonde beside the brunette.
"You too, Brittany…", Quinn says couldn't think straight if she was supposed to be embarrassed or what?
"What? I'm not a closet lesbian. I mean, I'm totally out. I don't know about-"
The brunette rolled her eyes,
"I mean go out of the room! Now!", Quinn ordered.
The three girls settled in the living area, all they could hear is the ticking wall clock, and the rest is the sound of silence.
Quinn keeps on walking from right to left side and vice versa. Her hands on her head swearing words because of embarrassment.
"S-should I talk now?", The brunette asked.
"No.", Quinn simply answered.
"Should I leave?", Brittany asked.
"No! Oh god!", Quinn's scratching her forehead and thinking how she should start explaining… So she ends up with a question, "How the hell did that happen? How'd you see that video?", Quinn asked half smiling, half embarrassed.
The brunette and the blonde starts to giggled.
"Stop laughing! It's not funny!", Quinn says but she couldn't handle not to laugh.
"It's not funny, huh? Then why are you laughing?", The brunette teased as she saw the small blonde keep on blushing.
"Stop it, Rachel!", Quinn took a pillow and threw it all the way to the brunette.
"Okay, I'll tell!", Brittany volunteered.
"Brittany! No!", Rachel opposed.
"What? That was not our fault!", Brittany giggles as the brunette rolled her eyes." So, I was waiting at the front door, waiting for San 'cause she just texted she was on the way but then Rachel came, we came in, we were bored, so I asked if she had any Disney movies.", Brittany explained as she looked at Rachel. She changed her attention to Quinn and continued, "Rachel said it is in your room, then I looked into your closet and saw yours and San's DVD collection. I picked one… after 10 minutes I just realized it is yours and San's sex video!", Brittany left a teasing smirk on her face.
"Oh man, I don't wanna hear it, I don't wanna hear it.", Quinn mutters as she closed her eyes and take a deep sighed.
"Well, you shouldn't be embarrassed 'cause you're definitely good at screaming, moaning, lifting-
"Score!", Brittany interrupted as Quinn's mouth still hangs open.
"-Lips locking, breast feeding, diving, moaning.", Rachel keeps on enumerating, "Did I just repeat moaning?" Rachel looked at the nodding Brittany.
"Oh shit! Stop! You saw almost the full video!?", Quinn freaks out.
Rachel nodded yes.
"Wait, what? The video was already in the climax when Quinn interrupted?", Rachel nods again, "Damn, Quinn!"
"Hey! That's private! Santana shouldn't know any of this happened.", Quinn told the two girls.
"What should I not know?", The three startled with a raspy voice.
"Hi! B-b-baby…", Quinn stutters.
"What was that? What did I hear!?", Santana keeps on asking, still bothered from what her mom's told her at the diner.
Rachel swallowed a lump in her throat, Quinn's mouth started to dry and Brittany left stunned but she took the step to tell Santana what happened.
"It was my fault!", Brittany admitted and the Latina left confused.
"How was that your fault?"
"I'm the one who saw the video, and let me and Rachel watched it but that was really not our intention. W-well at first, so we really did watch it, then it became my fault.", She rumbled words.
"I'm lost, what exactly are we talking about?"
"S-sex video.", Quinn finished.
"Oh… Okay. Not a problem.", Santana simply said and shrugged. Quinn looked at Santana, because she knew her, her girlfriend. She was supposed to be freaking out now. She tried to read her face but nothing.
"Y-you're not mad?", Rachel asked nervously.
Santana looked at the little brunette, "Why would I be mad? She told me the truth and you know the only thing that I don't want Rachel, people that keep secrets and lie to my face!"
Santana walks to her and Quinn's room and slid the curtain angrily.
"She's not mad, but she just shouted? And slid the curtain that way? Is your girlfriend a bipolar?", Rachel asked with a furrowed eyebrow.
"I think she's a Les-polar.", Brittany commented.
"Excuse me.", Quinn excused.
She followed the Latina in their room, as she passed the blue curtain she saw Santana already lying on the bed, but she couldn't see the Latina's lovely face 'cause she lays back on Quinn's bedside.
Quinn took a step towards the bed, she lift the blanket so she can slid in. She rubbed Santana's shoulder as she smells her brunette's favorite perfume. Quinn spoon the brunette from the back and hugged her tight as if she never had done that until now.
"Hey, is everything alright? Did you and your mom get in to fight again?", She asked 'cause she knew her girlfriend.
"Y-yeah…", Santana says with shaking voice.
"Are you crying? You sound like crying?", Quinn furrowed her eyebrows and lift up her head to see Santana's face, "W-what happened? Tell me, baby."
Santana breaks down and cries into sob.
"Ssshhh… It's okay, it's okay. Just let it out.", Quinn says comforting words as she rubbed Santana's back and gave a warm kiss on her forehead, but then Santana quit from Quinn's touch and stood up. The blonde followed Latina and before she could walk out from their room the blonde grabbed her wrist to stop.
"Santana, hey… ", Quinn looked into Santana's eyes, "Tell me what happened, you can trust me."
"Wow! Big word…", She scoffs, "No, you tell me Quinn. How can you convince me again to trust you when you keep on lying to me everyday? You and Rachel! Kurt knows too? Huh?"
"What are you saying?", She gasped, her eyes is getting blur and realizing what's gone be the end of this circumstance.
"Stop acting like you didn't know! Okay!", Santana shouts with anger but then she turned around after she saw teardrops from Quinn's eyes. It's so heart breaking, "Mami told me everything, about her and your dad. She told me that you knew and Rachel knows about it too. Why?", She almost lost her voice.
"Hey! Is everything okay?", Rachel asked from the living room.
"Shut up Berry!"
"Baby, I-I just… I don't want you to hate me, 'cause I'm so madly in love with you a-and… Fuck! I d-don't know what to say, I don't even know what the right thing to say."
"I think there's nothing more to say… The whole two months are full of fights, cries, lies.", She turned around crying to face the blonde again, took her hands, and continued, "This relationship is not healthy for the two of us, I think we should… We should -"
"No, no, no, no… Baby, don't say that please. Please… Don't break up with me. Santana I know what I did was wrong, but please tell me we can fix this? Please…", Quinn voice breaks and begging Santana not to let go.
"I don't know, Quinn…", Santana let out a word which made Quinn's heart clenched… Santana walks out of the room leaving a crying blonde with random thoughts… Are they still together? Or it is the end of it?
That night Quinn slept in that room with only her and the cold left side of the bed which her lovely Latina supposed to be sleeping. Rachel and Brittany shared a room since Kurt is not gonna be home until the next day.
Santana stayed sleeping on the couch for the rest of the night, crying and thinking…
The next morning Santana got up early, didn't bother to say goodbye to her friends but before she step out from their apartment, she went to their room to take a look to the sleeping blonde. She kissed the blonde's forehead as she always does. She took a pen from the drawer and wrote a message on a sticky note.
______________________________________________
Quinn woke up by the smell of pancake she hopped up from bed when Santana popped up on her mind.
She noticed the little note on their night stand and read…
I'll sleep in a hotel tonight and will come back the day after tomorrow.
I think we both need some space.
-S.
Quinn sighed and immediately walks out of the room expecting to still see Santana, but her thoughts betrayed her when she saw only Rachel.
"Did Santana say something to you before she left?", Quinn asked.
Rachel startled, "Jeez, blondie! You're giving me heart attacks! And no, I didn't happen to see her. You should eat, stop talking and stop thinking… By the way, Brittany got back to her hotel.", Quinn just nodded.
"I just want to disappear… I wanna freakin' die!", Quinn shouts and kicks the side of the kitchen counter. "Urgh!", She screamed when she realized that the one she used is her leg that was injured."
"Easy there Quinn.", Rachel chuckles
"Is that pancake for me?", Quinn pouts.
"Nooo… It's for Cassandra. I can make you some if you want?", Rachel's waiting for an answer
"So, are you two dating?", Quinn asked intrigued.
"No! It is my gift thanks to her for helping me in dancing. That means before Saturday comes, you and Santana should fix your mess or whatever, then you two can watch me singing and dancing with my dreams while in a cute holding hands."
"You heard the whole thing, right?"
Rachel nodded, "Yeah. Not my fault, I'm not nosy. It was your curtains fault.", The brunette left the stove to hug the blonde, "I'm so sorry, Quinn. Buuut! If you need an advice, I'm just here to help you."
"Thanks, but I don't want to drag you into this mess… And-"
"Aaand?"
"I think your pancake is already burned.", The blonde grinned and let out a cute chuckle.
"Oh, no!", Rachel got back to cooking as they both laughed but Quinn's got back into serious mode again.
"She left a note.", She coldly says.
"What's the note say?"
"She said she needed some space, and we'll talk when she gets back and-"
"And?"
"What if it'll be the last? You know what people say… If the person loses trust on you once, it'll be hard to get back."
"Stop the 'what if's' Quinn. You just have to tell her what's the real thing happened and why'd you keep it from her. She'll come back, she just need to think. She loves you still, you know that yourself. Now cheer up!"
"Yes ma'am!", Quinn saluted to Rachel.
Rachel and Quinn joined for breakfast with pancakes and lemon juice on the table.
After eating breakfast, the brunette prepared her needed clothes for another dancing session with her tutor, Cassandra and left Quinn only by herself.

Franklins Diner…
"Santana, table number 9!", Bobbie the manager shouted.
"Okay!", Santana answered back, "Calm your dick.", She muttered as she makes her way towards the said table.
"Good afternoon, let me get your order ma'am?", Saying her all day, everyday script, eyes still on her order receipt waiting for the customer's order.
"Hey! Nana, she is stranger!", The voice of a little girl made Santana looked up from her order receipt.
"Hi, Boo-boo! We meet again!", Santana beamed. The first time she smiled after her fight with Quinn. "Hi, ma'am" She nods with the old woman and the woman smiled back.
"I want fries! And I wants ice cream!", The little blonde exclaimed.
"Honey, you can't eat ice cream, you had a lot of sweets."
"Amffs.", The kid muttered that made the Latina chuckles.
After Santana took their orders she went to other tables to do the same and let her co-worker Ali and others served for the customers.
Santana have been working almost half a day, still she couldn't do anything but to lost in space and thinks of Quinn, she felt guilty that she made her girlfriend cried again.
It was not my fault… She lied to me. I shouldn't feel guilty about it. The Latina thinks repeatedly. Being out of spaced she bummed into the old woman, the one that was on the table 9.
"S-sorry."
"Oh, no honey. I was about to talk to you. Can you take a look of my granddaughter? I'll just go to the Jane.", The old woman asked for a favor with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, sure.", Santana smiled back.
When the woman got into the restroom, Santana set her eyes to the little girl. She chuckles when she saw the little blonde sneaking, eating an ice cream.
"Hey, kiddo!", The kid startled.
"What?", She innocently asked.
"You know your Nana is gonna get mad at you if she saw you eating that."
"Well, I can lie about it.", The kid shrugged.
"But not me.", The Latina smirked.
"Come on!", She groaned, "This is precious! Don't tell please!", begged with a pout and puppy eyes.
"Okay, give me the best reason to lie!", Santana challenged.
"Because… Hmmm…"
"Waiting, anytime your Nana will come out from that comfort room.", Teasing the little girl.
"Hmmm… Because, I love her so much.", The kid simply said, it made the Latina a little confused.
"Why lying if you love your Nana?", She asked. Why do I even asking this question? It's so stupid. She thinks
"Because I don't wanna hurt my Nana, if she knew I was breaking the rules she'll have a heart attack, she'll die and I'll die too."
"Still a bad thing.", Santana challenged more.
"My dad says people are not suppose to lie - the truth is always better in the long run but ... there are always those times ... ? It depends ... a good saying I once heard was "if not asked ... why answer!"
"Well if you asked an old woman here… Lying is not a good thing if it is used to hurt someone else intentionally. Then the question comes, did he or she lied to you because she wants you to suffer your entire life, to ruin your life or just to save you from hurt and protects you" The old woman explained and tapped Santana's back. "And you young lady is grounded and will stay the whole day in house with me cuddling and watching the Lion King.", The old woman warned but formed a smirk on her face.
"Not that bad, Nana!", She squeals.
"I think we should go now and say bye to your friend here.", The old woman said and winked at the Latina. "Your name young lady?", She asked Santana.
"Santana, but Boo-boo can call me Sannie, Tana, or San.", She just shrugged anyway.
"Okay! Honey, you're okay now?", The old woman asked the kid.
"Yes Nana! Bye Satan!", The kid said farewell.
"Great! Thanks!", She chuckles but then she remembered what the old woman says to her.
______________________________________________
After loads of orders and a very exhausting day at work, Santana made her way out from the Diner. She looked into her watch saying it's quarter to nine, she sighed. Santana was about to hail a taxi when someone tapped her shoulder.
"Quinn, what are you doing here?", asking the teary eyed blonde.
"San, can we talk? I just- I just can't sit there without you and t-thinking that you hate me. I don't know if I could sleep, I can't eat, I can't watch movies or TV shows, 'cause everytime I switched channels all of them was sappy and I just keep on crying a-and… God! I just freakin' miss you so much."
"You know that you're not supposed to be here. I just left a note, I said I need space.", She coldly says.
"I know, but I need you. I miss you, I miss your cuddle, I miss your smile, I miss your touch, I miss everything about you.", She took Santana's left hand and caressed it to her face, saying 'I love you' between kisses to its hand… The Latina slowly grasped away from Quinn, walks fast away and turned back into the diner leaving the defeated blonde's heart.
"I'm sorry!", Quinn shouted for the last time… Hoping Santana would come back. She was about give up waiting, but then she heard the door from the diner hitting the chimes that made her look up and the next thing she realized… Santana was kissing her, she kissed back… It was the kiss that you cannot feel anything around you but the only lips dancing on your lips, the touch of hands dancing around your waist up to your neck. They both kissed like they don't care who see's, what the people walking near them might think, they sobbed between kisses missing each other for the first time. Santana did the final warm kiss to Quinn's forehead.
"Do you trust me?", Santana asked looking to Quinn's hazel brown eyes, "Do you trust me?", She repeated.
Quinn furrowed her eyebrows but answered anyways.
"Y-yes!"
Santana digs her hand to her pocket and let out a black box.
"What is that?", Quinn asked, still don't know what to think and what to expect.
"This is a ring.", The Latina opened the black box and took the ring from it "I bought it a few weeks ago" She smiles still mesmerized with the ring she bought.
"A-are you? Is this?", Quinn can't compose any words.
"No, this is not a proposal, yet.", Santana chuckles but then anyway she took Quinn's left hand, "This ring shapes means continuity, it means infinity. This infinity ring symbolizes everlasting or things that last forever…And you are my forever, Quinn.", She says while she puts the ring to Quinn's ring finger.
"This is beautiful.", Quinn gasped.
"Now those diamonds around it, the diamonds represents my undying love for you, devotion, loyalty, fidelity, eternal friendship, and commitment. It can also represent the future, promising a life of togetherness, and closeness. Well, I Googled it.", She shakes her head chuckling and it made Quinn chuckles too.
"I-I don't know what to say. I don't know if we're o-okay? Or? Please, tell me what is the meaning of all of this Santana?"
"Quinn, this ring means also my promise to you that I will come back. I just need you to trust me, Okay? I just need to find myself, I guess? I don't know. I want this all to make things right.", She explained.
"Why do you want to do this by yourself, when we both know we can make things right, together?"
"Because, I'm the one who made things complicate when it's not suppose to be that way. Quinn, I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what I've said last night, and I want you to know that I still trust you.", Santana says and Quinn just nodded.
"Is this gonna take so long?"
"No, just give me maybe a month or two?"
"That sucks!", The blonde pouted.
"I know. Now, what I n-need you to do after we separate w-ways, wipe away those t-tears, s-smile and give me a h-hug.", She choked every words still keeping not to sob again.
"Santana.", Quinn breaks into her emotion; she hugged the Latina to say goodbye, "We are gonna see each other again, right?"
"Yes, and when I come back we will both make things happen again for the two of us, I will court you again, every day, every hour, every minute. That's a promise. Wait for me, my forever.", Santana breaks the hug.
They both give each other a warm kissed before their intertwined hands slowly separate as they turned around.
Santana makes her way to the left and Quinn's to the right.
Santana digs her phone from her backpack and send out a message.
Santana: I love you, forever.
Not a minute later she got an answer.
Quinn: I love you too, and I will wait for you.
