Hello readers!
So, this is my first story on FF in years, but I've completely fallen in love with Quinntana, and thought there weren't nearly enough stories about them out there, so I decided to write one myself too. I'm giving this a shot, but if no one likes it, or reads it, then I won't do it naturally. I have quite a lot of ideas, so hopefully this can turn out to be a good story :)
The first chapter doesn't have any lines, it's just a recap of Quinn and Santana's lives until we get to the point where the next chapter will start off. I'm the kind of person who prefers to read longer chapters (at least 1000 words), and therefore also expect myself to write at least that, but I wont do that if it's just to drag out the chapter.
I don't have any beta's, I do this by myself, but I would love reviews, and constructive criticism, if you have any! Keep in mind that English isn't my first language tho! And I live in Europe, so when I post chapters might be when a lot of you are asleep.
Hope you can take the time to read and review, it would mean a lot to me :) xo Em
PS: Sadly, I don't own glee.
Quinn and Santana had secretly been in love with each other since the first time they met, when Quinn transferred schools in middle school. They hadn't told each other of course, Quinn's family was very religions and Santana was too scared to show her true feelings to anyone. They were both happy with being best friends, and did everything together. With their other best friend, Brittany, they were known as The Unholy Trinity, and they ruled the school. Since Santana knew (or so she thought) that Quinn would never have feelings for her, so she started having feelings for Brittany. While they both slept around with pretty much every guy in school, they would always ditch any of those guys to sleep with each other. Santana and Quinn were HBIC's while Brittany was just head unicorn. That girl couldn't kill a fly if she wanted to.
To say that a lot happened during high school would be an understatement. To do a short recap: Quinn was head cheerio, got pregnant, lied about the dad, Santana became head cheerio, Quinn gave up the baby, she went bat shit crazy, dyed her hair pink and tried to get her baby back, Santana came out as a lesbian, with Brittany, and Brittany became senior class president. Oh, and they won nationals during senior year. Song Choir nationals, that is. Santana, Quinn and the rest of the senior class graduated, while Brittany (with the amazing 0.0 gpa) got to do senior year all over again. Lucky her. Santana went to Kentucky, doing some cheerleading thing, while Quinn went to study drama at Yale. Santana and Brittany tried to keep up the relationship long distance, but eventually they broke up, and Brittany ended up dating Sam, who had gone out with both Quinn and Santana before.
The turning point in all of this came 8 months after high school ended, on Valentines Day of all days. The whole glee club had gathered in Lima for Will and Emma's wedding. The wedding was a fiasco, but somehow it was still one of the best days in Quinn and Santana's lives. At Yale Quinn had dated one of her professors, she had done everything she could to shake of the feelings she had for Santana. It didn't work, of course, and when she thought back at it, it was really just gross and disgusting. At the wedding they had both gone alone, Santana was depressed, having to look at Britt and Sam all evening, and Quinn was just done with men. Quinn had flirted with Santana several times during the night, much to Santana's surprise; they had used their fake ids, danced and just had fun. But nothing could compare to the fun they were about to have. At the end of the night they had danced back to their room, kissed … a lot… and ended up having sex. Also a lot. Since this was Quinn's first time with a girl and Santana was still unsure about her feelings for both Quinn and Brittany, they were both confused and figured it would probably be just a one-night stand. Boy, were they wrong.
Santana had gone back to New York and dealt with the drama that came with living with Rachel and Kurt, while Quinn was back at Yale. Though she didn't sleep with anyone, neither students, nor faculty. Impressive. About two months later Quinn had gotten a call from Santana and Kurt, asking her to help them with an intervention. She had of course gotten on the first train there, Santana had gotten her from the train station, it was quite the awkward ride back home, considering this was the first time they had actually talked since seeing each other naked. Together they had managed to get Rachel out of doing a topless scene in a student film, using the 2-2-2 rule, and they had plenty of time to catch up. Quinn had gotten a hotel room for the weekend, as she thought the Hummel-Berry-Lopez was too crowded already, and ironically this was where she and Santana ended up. In bed. Again. And this time it was even more mind blowing. After sex they had stayed in bed, kissing, cuddling and talking. Talking about their future, and if said future was going to be a joined future for the two of them. Eventually they had agreed on being in a relationship with each other, but they wanted to keep it a secret. They wanted to be sure this was right before telling anyone else, and the first person they would tell was Brittany. Seeing as Santana had a pretty steamy history with her, they wanted to take their time so that it would seem like Quinn was just a bounce back for Santana. They both loved Brittany dearly, and the last thing they wanted to do was to hurt her. Although they both knew that she was probably going to squeal and jump when they told her, she had always cared about keeping the people around her happy, and she was going to be thrilled that Quinn and Santana could make each other happy.
For several months they had continued this secret relationship, visiting each other (Santana saying she needed to get away from the big city a bit, and might as well visit Quinn, and Quinn saying she needed a dose of the big city so she might as well visit Santana (and Kurt and Rachel of course…)). Kurt and Rachel were so caught up in their love life, NYADA and Vogue to notice that anything was up, so they were happy to having managed to keep it a secret from the Rachel Berry. One Friday evening Quinn had suggested telling Brittany, and Santana had actually agreed. Who would have thought that the two could agree on anything? They had packed their bags and driven back to Lima to spend some time with the charming blonde. During dinner Saturday night they had announced to Brittany that they were now a couple and had been so for almost 4 months now. At first Brittany had been shocked, then she had gotten a huge smile on her face, clapped and hugged them both. She had forced them to tell her everything about their relationship, and had seemed almost more excited than they were about this. They had spent the rest of the weekend together before Quinn and Santana had gone back to New York. Quinn was done with her first year at Yale and had decided to spend the summer with her girlfriend. Man, it had been weird calling Santana her girlfriend. They had called each other that before, but then they had been girls who were friends, nothing more. But they both loved it, and for once they were both truly happy. Back in New York they had told Kurt and Rachel, who were almost as excited as Britt had been, and they had to admit that Santana had seemed happier lately.
That summer had been ridiculously good. They had spent it together, traveling around and spending lots of quality time together. They had gone to Toronto, Niagara Falls and even found some time to go to Florida for a week. It had been so amazing that two months into the new school year Quinn was still glowing, and not in the form of a nice tan. They continued visiting each other, all though not as frequently as Santana was now studying at Tisch School of the Arts, but they spent all free time possible together. Quinn had thought several times that the advantages of being lesbian was that there was no way of accidental pregnancy. Santana had always laughed at that and said that if Quinn were suddenly pregnant she'd kick the father's ass until he was too scared to even look at any of them again. Quinn also thought that another advantage of being a lesbian was the ridiculously good sex. The orgasms Santana had given her were just crazy and she was pretty sure the Latina felt the same.
With each passing month they got more and more serious about each other, sure they fought, and they both got in an amazing slap here or there, but at the end of the day they still had that ridiculous smile on their faces. The smile they used to hate when they saw it on other people. Before long Quinn graduated with honors from Yale, and Santana was the proudest of them all at the ceremony, several times yelling, "THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND!" to the whole assembly. Quinn had gotten that seriously cute blush that Santana loved almost as much as she loved Quinn. After graduating Quinn had moved in with Santana, Kurt and his boyfriend in their apartment. Rachel moved in with her boyfriend when Quinn moved in, as she was also done with college now. Quinn had gotten a pretty good job in the city while Santana finished her last year of college, they even saw Britt a lot more often as she was studying dancing in the Big Apple. Life was looking good for the two girls, and when Santana graduated a year after Quinn did, they couldn't wait to see what was in store for them. During Santana's graduation ceremony, Quinn had of course done the same as her girlfriend had done the year before, and Santana had blushed even more than the blonde had. Quinn thought it was adorable, and that night, after Quinn had gotten her to blush again, they had had the best sex ever.
