Never Been Hurt (Demi Lovato)
Quinn's POV
"How's your first week going?"
I swung my chair around until I was looking over Manhattan.
Santana was humming lightly on the other end and I could hear the baby gurgling.
"It's like she knows that we're home. Is that possible?"
"Mmm...maybe she just senses your happiness."
"Yea...maybe that's it."
She was still humming when there was a knock on my door.
I turned around and saw my new assistant peaking through the door.
She was young and insanely nervous but I wanted her to be at ease...but that kind of thing takes time.
"Hold on a sec, babe." San grunted and continued humming. I looked at my assistant who was fidgeting in the doorway still. "Gigi, come in."
"Are you sure? I mean, I can come back or I can grab you lunch or-"
I held up my hand.
"Breathe."
She took a deep breath and I couldn't help but smile.
It was like dealing with a young Rachel Berry, after-all.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lopez."
I nodded.
"Was there something that you needed?"
"Oh yes...there is a gentleman here to see you. I told him that you were on a call but he insists that its urgent."
"Urgent? Did he give a name?"
"Oh right...yes." She looked down at her notepad. "Derek Caste...caste...I'm sorry...I didn't understand his accent so well."
Normally I would have gotten snappy at her giving me half information but she looked like she was going to hurl and so I just smiled.
"I'll be out in five. Why don't you take lunch...go get a manicure or something...on me okay?"
Gigi scurried out of my office with a million apologies.
And then I heard a snicker.
"You should fire her." San said with a sniff.
"Don't be so harsh...she's a first year law student...her professors probably brow beat her enough as it is. Hey...um...I have someone outside my office. I will call you when I'm on my way home...okay?"
"Sure thing, Q ball...and remember, Papi and Tish are taking the baby tonight...so...wink wink." She chuckled and it made me blush.
"You never change."
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
I was a fucking nervous wreck as I shut my office door behind Derek.
My meeting with him had been a blur and now I found myself needing a stiff drink.
But I needed to get myself together.
Something was off about this whole situation and I was going to get to the bottom of it before talking to San because the moment that she gets involved...
God help us all!
I was just sitting in my desk chair when my intercom went off.
"What is it Gigi?" I snapped without meaning too.
"Um...I'm sorry to bother...I just...I'm back and I didn't know if you needed anything and um well I al-"
I flung my office door open and nearly gave the girl a heart attack as she jumped to her feet.
I did a sweep of the office to make sure that Derek had left and then crooked my finger at my assistant.
"I need you in here right now."
Gigi was on her feet and following me into my office looking like she was going to faint but I didn't have time for that.
Once she was inside, I shut the door and pointed to a chair.
"Sit."
She slumped into the chair and looked up at me with big watery eyes.
"Mrs. Lopez, I-"
I held up my hand and shook my head as I began to pace.
"Stop talking."
"Yes ma'am."
I nearly exploded.
But this wasn't her fault.
I couldn't loose my temper...this was too serious...I could sense it.
A/N: Well, well, well...surprise bitches! :) Tell me what you thought...love it, hate it...(as if!)
