Sam was late. He was late for what was probably the most important meeting of his life. Today, in this meeting he was going to find out wether or not he had been promoted. Sam's job wasn't his passion in life to say the least. He worked for a large company that dealt with peoples finances, so you can see why it was not his passion, but just because it wasn't his passion didn't mean he wouldn't want a promotion, you get more money, a bigger office and more power. Whats not to want? But if Sam missed this meeting he was risking his chance at the promotion, so of course, he had to be late.

He had woken up 40 minutes late that morning and was in a rush. He had a quick shower, threw a suit on and ran out of his apartment building and to his car quicker then a Cheetah. Just as he was about to pull out of the parking lot another car drove into him. 'Great! This is just what I need when I'm already fucking late!' he thought. He quickly got out of his car to asses the damage and yell at the person who had drove into him.

"Aww fuck!" He shouted as he looked at the huge dent that had been created in the last minute or so. "See what you did? You should seriously watch where your going or you could seriously hurt someone!" He shouted. Just as he turned around to see who caused the damage, he found himself slightly speechless.

He honestly expected some small old lady who could barley see over the steering wheel to be the other driver, but what he saw couldn't be more different. Stood in front of him was an absolute drop dead gorgeous young woman. She had long blonde hair that fell onto her shoulders and an amazing body. She wore a light yellow sundress and a white cardigan. She was absolutely stunning but what stood out most to Sam were her eyes, they were kind of a hazel colour with hints of a liquid gold mixing in. She bit down on her bottom lip and had a slightly ashamed look on her face. After a while she started to look confused and then Sam realised he had been staring at her for a little bit longer than he should have.

"Err, Hi, I'm Sam" he said to the mystery woman standing in front of him. He than held out his hand for her to shake.

"I'm Quinn" She then shook his hand "I'm really sorry for hitting you with my car, I will pay for it to get fixed if you want?" She said with a questioning look on her face.

"Don't worry about it, and no I don't want you to pay for my car, I will be fine." He said smiling, he then realised that if it had been anyone else he wouldn't have been this calm and kind towards them.

"Are you sure?" She asked him

"Yeah I'm sure. I do kinda need your phone number though" he said slightly smirking

"Why?" She said looking at him as if he were a creep.

"Just incase, its always good to have some sort of contact with the person who hit your car" he said still smiling

"Oh, okay." She took out a piece of paper from her bag and wrote it down "there you go" she said as she gave him the paper.

"Thanks. So do you live here? Ive never seen you before" he said pointing to the apartment building

"Im just moving in today, apartment 4B?" She said turning it into a question.

"Thats right opposite mine!" He said excitedly

"Oh, okay, well uh, cool, see you around, Sam." She said getting back in her car to park it.

"Bye, Quinn" he said quietly getting back in his own car and driving to work with thoughts if his new neighbour in his mind.


Sam rushed through the doors of his company's building and headed for the elevator. He quickly boarded it and pressed the appropriate floor number. "C'mon, hurry up!" He shouted in the empty elevator. Just as he said that the doors swung open and he bolted out. He rushed towards the meeting room and ran in. He then realised everyone was looking at him.

"Ah, Mr Evans so nice for you to finally join us" The head of his floor, an old, grumpy man with white hair and a facial expression that made him look like he had just seen something awful happen called Mr Martin said "Would you care to explain to us all why you are 45 minutes late?" Mr Martin said pointing to Sam.

"I got hit with a car on my way to work" Sam said quietly

"Why are you here if you got hit with a car? Surely you should be at the doctors or something getting checked out" he said showing slight concern for Sam.

Sam just shook his head and said "My car got hit not me, someone just drove into me so I had to sort that out, you know get information on the person and all that stuff, you know so I can contact them for any rea-"

"I get it Samuel" he said cutting Sam off. "Anyway we have just decided that Wendy will be promoted. Does anyone have any announcements?" He waited for a second "No? Okay then you can all go" Mr Martin said leaving the meeting room.

Sam just stood there letting that information sink in. He hadn't been promoted. He didn't even know what he was feeling, a kind of mixture between sad and angry. After standing there for a few more moments he exited the meeting room and walked to his cubical. He put his briefcase down and slumped into his chair. He then logged on to his computer and proceeded with his work.


After a few hours and some lunch he was finally ready to go home. He turned off his computer and walked to the elevator. He stepped inside pressing the button for the lobby. It stopped for a few seconds on his ride down when someone else stepped into the elevator. Sam looked to his left and saw a beautiful Latina woman around the age of 22 step into the elevator. She coughed and he realised he had been staring at her for longer than he should have been.

"Sorry" Sam mumbled quietly

"Its okay, just please don't do it again" She said in a slightly threatening tone

"I will try not to" he said so quietly it was barely heard

"Whats that?" She said asking what he had said

"Nothing, so are you new here? I haven't seen you here before" he asked her

"Yeah, it was my first day today" She said with a small smile

"Cool. I'm Sam Evans by the way" he held his hand out for her to shake

"I'm Santana" she said shaking his hand.

The elevator soon came to a stop and both people got out. "See you around Evans" she shouted as she exited the building and walked into the parking lot. Sam just chuckled to himself and got in his car. His drive home didn't take long and he was thankful for that, all he wanted to do was go to sleep and forget about that damn promotion he didn't get. He pulled into the parking lot of his apartment building and got out of his car.

On the way up to his apartment he heard a loud shattering noise and then two people arguing. The arguing got louder and louder as he neared his floor. As he turned a corner he saw two girls yelling at each other right outside of his apartment. 'Great' he thought as he attempted to get into his apartment but was noticed by the two girls when he accidentally bumped into one of them.

"Hey watch where you're going!" One of the girls shouted at him

"Sorry" He said as he was trying to find the key to his apartment

"Wasn't I just in an elevator with you?" One of the girls questioned

He turned around and saw the Latina from the elevator and the beautiful blonde girl who hit his car standing there looking at him "Yeah I was"

"You two have met?" The blonde girl asked. 'Whats her name?' Sam thought 'Quinn! Thats it!'

"Yeah, we work in the same place and he was staring at me in the elevator" Santana said "do you know him?" She asked Quinn

"Yeah, I hit him with my car this morning"

"You two know each other?" Sam asked motioning between the two girls.

"Yeah, we live together" Santana said

"Oh okay." He paused for a second "Ermm, why is there bits of plates all over the floor?" He said looking at the floor

"Quinn here dropped all our plates on the floor" Santana said in angry tone

"I didn't mean to! I was just -"

"Okay girls, calm down. Do you want some help cleaning this up?" Sam said and the two girls agreed.

It took about an hour to get all the broken plates off the floor. The three of them had talked about a lot and Sam found out quite a few things about the girls. They both grew up in Ohio, they were both 21 years old and went to the same high school, they had been friends since. He also learned that Quinn could be mean at times and that Santana was a bit of a bitch. The girls learned stuff about Sam too, like the fact that he was 22, he grew up in Tennessee and the fact that he hated his lips. Sam liked his new neighbours and couldn't wait to spend more time with them, Quinn in particular. His day wasn't all that bad, sure his car had a huge dent in it and he didn't get the promotion, but he met two lovely lady's to compensate for that.
