CHAPTER 17: BEGINNING AND BONDINGS

What's nice waking up in the morning is to open your eyes and see the person you love lying beside you, sleeping peacefully with a smile on his/her face and wondering what he/she is dreaming of.

As for Santana, wow! For others, they might find my girlfriend terrible. How can you sleep with her snoring sound, rolling on our bed like the last time I remembered I was on the right side of the bed, but by the time I woke up I was on her left side already. The worst thing that happened was she kicked me out of the bed… Isn't that so terrible? But I find them very cute, unique, and sooo Santana.

"San, baby wake up," Quinn says as she caressed San's neck.

The brunette groaned, "Baby… ajklfshl."

"Huh?" Chuckles "Oohh, you wanna cuddle?" Quinn asked as she bit her lower lip.

"Hmmmm," Santana nodded and showed a cute smirk.

"Then you need to get up, and we'll cuddle later," She teased.

"Later?! Noooo! I want to now!" She groaned.

"You're such a baby, San. Come on, we need to save more time so we can find beautiful furniture for our new apartment."

"Umm, but we haven't found any apartment, so how can we buy furniture if we don't have a house, or even a shoe box?" She murmured.

"Stop murmuring, I'll wait for you in the shower," Quinn smirked and run to the bathroom.

Santana was alarmed, "Oh god, did you just say you'll wait in the shower!?" Santana loudly asked.

"Unless you think you heard me wrong!" Quinn replied echoed from the shower room.

"Okay! Coming!"

Santana ran to the shower and closed the door.

Loud chuckles echoed from inside.

After hours of showering and cuddling, Santana was the first to get out and stopped in her tracks. Quinn was confused.

"San?" Quinn followed Santana's gaze, "Shelby… Beth."

"What are you doing here, witch?" Santana crossed arms.

"Santana," Quinn fully got out from the bathroom with her towel wrapped around her body.

"Sorry… I'll go and put a dress on. Do you want me to get you a robe?"

"Yeah, thanks," Quinn smiled, "So, what can we do for you?" She asked Shelby.

"Well, I want us to talk about something," She says as the little Quinn still hides behind her back.

Not a long second when Rachel came out from her room.

She yawned, "Good mor- Shelby!" Her gaze went to the little Quinn beside Shelby, "Hi Beth!"

"Sissy!" Beth ran happily to hug Rachel.

She knows that Quinn and Shelby needed something to talk about, so she asked Beth to come with her back in her room. Gladly the little one excitedly followed her.

"Quinn, here's your bathrobe," Santana handed the robe.

"Thanks!" She smiled again. Santana was about to leave, but Quinn held her hand and pleaded for her to stay. Santana smiled and stayed beside her.

Both Quinn and Santana sat on the middle sofa, and Shelby sat on the single sofa right beside them.

After a minute of silence Shelby started to talk.

"Quinn, we came here because I need to say sorry. Sorry that I accused you, I was just afraid that you'll take her away from me. I know the feeling of a mother who's longing to be with her child, I've been there with Rachel, I've been there and I don't want you to feel the same way I felt."

"Hmmm, so you're saying?"

"It's not what you think. Beth will stay with me and I will be her mother but I can allow you to take her to the mall, park, as long as you will not leave the city. She can have overnights but that's it. I hope you understand."

Quinn looked at Santana, as the brunette replied her with a nod. The blonde smiled and tears fell from her eyes, without words she hugged Shelby to thank her.

"I'm sorry too if I scared you and didn't consider your feelings as a mother. Thanks for another chance. I promise that I will not screw this up this time."

Both Shelby and Quinn ended up laughing.

"Well that's it; ummm I guess you and Santana are going out on a date? So, Beth and I will go for now. Just send me a message if you want Beth to stay here this coming weekend," Shelby says with a smile.

"Yes, I will," Quinn gladly replied.

"Thank you Shelby," Santana thanked this time, and Shelby just nodded for a reply.

Quinn, Santana, Shelby, and Beth left the apartment together and parted ways outside.

______________________________________________

Walking on their street, Santana kept on looking to Quinn and chuckling.

"What?" Quinn plainly asked.

"Because you keep on grinning, you look like a fool," The brunette laughed this time.

"Oh, I look like a fool?" Quinn asked sounded like mad.

"Oh, no. I'm sorry I was just-," Quinn laughed at the brunette.

"Why are you doing that? I hate you! Hmf," Santana crossed arms.

"You don't hate me, you love me! Come on, let us forget the let's-buy-furniture-for-our-new-apartment, why don't we just have fun and enjoy this time," Quinn wiggled her eyebrows.

"Ummm, where?" Santana asked with knitted eyebrows.

"Somewhere you… like!" Quinn bit her lower lip as she answered the brunette.

"Ho-tel?" Santana's eyes lit up.

"You'll never know," Quinn whispered to Santana's ear in a sexy tone.

______________________________________________

Not even a question, Santana said, "Are you serious!"

"Yes, I am," Firmly and gladly Quinn says.

"Are you serious?" Santana repeatedly asked this time, "Quinn, it's a fucking carnival with horses, Ferris wheel and that giant roller coaster! Do you want me to die?" Santana asked with her voice sounds anxious.

"Of course not, are you saying that I'm that bad? Come on," Quinn dragged Santana to walk.

"Where are we going?"

"Roller coaster!" Quinn smiled.

"Ha-ha-ha, that's funny Quinn, 'cause riding on that is the last thing I wanna do and as I remember not a minute ago, you said that you don't want me to die."

"Well, let me re-phrase that, I don't want you to DIE-ALONE," Quinn quoted, "Because if you die, I die. Like what Jack and Rose promised in the Titanic movie."

"Darn, movies!"

Lining up to ride the roller coaster, Santana keep on saying a lot of excuses just to not reach the final cut off of the ride.

"Quinn, I think I need to pee."

"Just pee after this, we are so close babe," Quinn says enjoying the

"Baby, are you serious? Do you want me to pee in my pants because of nervous riding on that coaster?"

"You keep on asking me am-I-serious, and yes I am serious," The brunette just shut her mouth up.

After the seat belts were locked…

"Quinn, I don't want to die young. Please just let me go out on this ride," Santana is starting to get nervous again.

Quinn was laughing, "Come on, I promise after this you'll plan to ride again."

"I swear to God, I will be a good person to everyone if God will let me live! Please! Oh-"

The ride starts…

"The first drop is always a HUGE adrenaline rush. You can feel yourself nearly being sucked out of your seat, which you won't!"

"Yeah, but I will still be sucked up!"

"Well, the speed is sooo exciting! Once you get over the initial fear of the first drop, you'll be fine for the rest of it. Just enjoy it; you only live once!"

And the big drop starts all the way and goes on the triple loop…

Quinn heard Santana scream, she laughed 'cause she never heard the Latina screamed like that before.

"I love this!" Quinn screamed.

"Stop! Stop!" Santana screamed.

After the extreme ride…

"Hey, Sanny are you okay?"

Santana just kept on walking, and she was like not in the right frame of thinking.

"Hey?"

"Omg! That was just awesome!" Santana shouts and kissed Quinn on the forehead.

"This is the best day of my life! You are the best girlfriend ever! And I love-you-love-you-love-you sooo much!" Santana said as she slowly looked to Quinn's eyes.

Quinn smiled, "Let's go, it's getting late. We need to go home."

"Yeah."

"I love you, Santana," She kissed the brunette on the lips as the ray of sunset stroke to their faces.

"I love you too, Quinn," Santana says between the kisses.

Quinn took Santana's hand and holds it until they got home.

______________________________________________

Another special day…

Another special day where all couples are busy buying flowers, preparing dinners, going out of town, and some just prepared to be at home like Santana and Quinn.

Quinn runs as she heard a loud knock from outside.

She smiled as she saw the grinning Santana.

She put kissed the Latina's cheek, "You're late for dinner," still smiling.

"Sorry, there was a man who lost a $200 bill…," Santana kissed back.

"That's nice. Were you helping him look for it?" Quinn asked

"No, I was standing on it until he left," She smirked.

"Sanny!" Quinn laughed.

"No, I was just kidding," Santana kept hiding her hands behind her and kept on swaying like a child.

"And what is that behind you?" She smirked.

"Flowers for my Quinn," Santana showed a bouquet of flowers as her gift to Quinn, "Happy Valentines, baby."

And Santana pulled out a box out of her pocket, "And this is for our happy 6th months," Santana bit her lip as Quinn open up the box.

Quinn gushed at what she saw, a set of earrings, "These are beautiful, Santana. How'd you? This is expensive!"

"Well, I don't want you to know how I did get that but don't worry, I'm not a part of some gang, Mafia and I don't do anything illegal," Both of them chuckles.

"Ummm, why don't you put them on?" Santana asked.

Quinn ran to the front of the mirror and put on the earrings.

"Even more beautiful," Santana says as she hugged the blonde from behind.

Quinn's faced turns to sadness, "I don't have a gift for you"

"It's okay, dinner is enough, this evening being alone with you is enough. Being your girlfriend is the best gift ever."

"You're such a sweetheart sometimes," Quinn commented.

"Only sometimes?" Santana started to tickle Quinn, "Huh?"

"San, stop! Oh god!" cute chuckles echoed in the whole apartment.

Not a second after when Rachel and Kurt burst inside and shouts, "Happy Valentine's day, bitches!"

"Well Happy Valentine's to the both of you, too? I thought you have dates?" Santana irritably asked.

"Well, we both decided to ditch our dates," Kurt plainly explained.

"That's it?" Santana loudly asked.

"Umm, yeah… So what's for dinner tonight?" Kurt asked Quinn as Rachel still laughs hard.

"Not funny, why don't both of you go out and have fun somewhere else, let Quinn and I stay here without Hummel-Berry tandem?" Santana interrupted.

"Santana, it's a happy hearts day! Share some love! Right, Kurt?" Kurt nodded.

"Babe, help me with this, please?" Santana looked to Quinn to help her get rid of the two.

"Well, I think there's nothing more we can do, babe. Why don't we just enjoy the night with them?" She whispered to Santana.

"Okay, okay! Fine," Santana agreed.

"Yes!" Both Rachel and Kurt fist pumped.

"Gladly I made dinner for four, because I know you two are party crashers," Quinn says.

"You know us!" Both Rachel and Kurt said in unison.

Four of them had dinner together and after, they watched romantic Netflix movies as they always do and part of their bonding.

"Girls summer is coming, right?" Kurt asked eyes still focused on the television.

"Yeah," Rachel answered.

"Why don't we go to a beach?" Kurt advised.

"Uh? Are you kidding me? It's still February, summer will start in June! Too much early," Santana commented.

"It's fine, with this month early we can prevent having a sun burn," Quinn added.

"I wants to get tan," Santana says.

"You're already tan!" Rachel commented.

"Shut your mouth!"

"Come on, let us schedule our vacation! I'm excited!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Yeah, we can ask Shelby if Beth can come with us. It'll be a good bonding for you two," She looked to Quinn as she said her opinion.

"San, please!" Quinn looked to Santana with a puppy eyes, "Come with us?"

"Okay, fine!" Santana rolls her eyes.

"Yey!" Quinn hugged Santana.

"You two know my weakness! Huh?" She says to Rachel and Kurt.

"Oh yes we know!" Kurt and Rachel said in unison with a big smirk on their faces.

Early summer vacation coming soon!
