Nosy Dwarf
I own nothing.
all mistakes are mine.
I hope you all like it!
Santana's POV
After Quinn left I take a long and cold shower, eat my breakfast and wait for my visitor. A few minutes later, I hear a knock from my door.
"You know we live in the same city and dinner will start tonight, so why do you have the need to want to spend the whole day with me?"
"Is that how you welcome a visitor?" she retorts.
"Well, Rachel it is nice of you to visit me in my humble home so could you just fuckin' answer my previous question, of you wanting to spend the whole day with me because you know I can't stand being around you for a long time."
"The high school Santana can't stand my awesomeness, but this Santana infront of me is otherwise." Well that maybe true, but still I smell something fishy.
"Come on cut the crap dwarf, tell me the reason why are you here?" I may have tolerated the existence of the glee kids in my life, but that doesn't mean I'll stop calling them names.
"I want us to have a talk. C-can you sit down?" I am taken aback from the shift of Rachel's tone. This must be really serious. I take my sit without a word and wait for Rachel to continue. "It's about Brittany. Sam and her they.."
"Broke up" I interrupted her putting the pieces all together.
"How d'you know?" Her eyes wide in shock and confusion.
"You know it's easier to connect the dots if it's not so early in the morning and I have already taken a sip of my coffee."
"What?!"
"Well, looking back these past few days, everyone seems really nice and concerned. Like Kurt keep on reminding me of the dinner tonight that my presence will really make him happy, Blaine stop by my office with a bouquet of flowers and a big smiley balloon like I'm sick or anything, Puck sent me a big jar of nuttella which he knows I only eat when I'm upset, you keep on insisting of spending the day with me before our monthly dinner, and Quinn and I spent a lot of hours last night… catching up. That's really thoughtful but you all don't have to take care of me. I am not the one who broke up with my boyfriend."
"We know that, but it's Brittany, your bestfriend and ex-girlfriend who you still love and knowing…"
"Woah. Slowdown. Rewind. Still love? What makes you believe that I still love Britt?" This isn't making sense, So all this time they think I'm still inlove with Britt.
"Well, you were a mess when you two broke up, like total mess and when was the last time you have serious relationship? When was the last time you ever have a relationship?" she explains to me nervously, she is waiting for me to respond, but I just stare at her waiting for her to continue. I need more elaborate explanation as to why they conclude such thing. "She is the last girl we know you been with and we know that even though you still love her, you also want her to be happy and you know she is… was happy with Sam."
Rachel might be right about that; Britt was my last serious relationship; I never entered into one after because I feel that I have offered too much but gained so little, and I don't want to ever feel that way again. Maybe I was the one who broke up with Britt, but she was the one who easily thrown away what we have in just a blink of an eye. But I know Sam and I know he's gonna take good care of Britt, and seeing the love in both of their eyes I was happy for them.
"Okay, the break up news is upsetting, seriously, get a grip people, it's been what? 7 years since the break-up, has it ever occurred to you all that I have moved on. And the balloons, the flowers, nuttella, concerns are really sweet but it's overrated. For the record, Britt will always be important to me but I don't love her the way I used to. And I don't need a relationship when I have someone who can warm up my bed. " Shit did I just say… I face palm myself with the realization of the mistake I made.
"Oh? Someone." She repeats my word with a very devious smile. I can feel a nosy dwarf coming out of her cave.
"Right." I confirmed, there's no need on denying it.
"So.."
"No we are not talking about my sex life Berry. I may have accepted you as a friend and see you as one of my ally, but my sex life is something we will not chit-chat and bond into." I say with conviction
"Why not?" When Nosy Rachel is out there's just no stopping her.
"Because there are certain things I want to limit in our friendship and that is it."
"And who would you be willing to talk about this certain predicament? How about Noah does he know?"
"Predicament? Are you serious right now?! Puck doesn't know and Berry, why don't we talk about other things rather than my so called predicament. "It'll be a long day before dinner. I don't think Rachel will make it alive by that time.
"How about Quinn?"
"Enough." I say strongly. Oh no we are not going to talk about Quinn and my "predicament" in one conversation. I'm afraid I might slip up and of all people I am not going to reveal it all to this freakin' dwarf.
"No, I am curious as to who you sleep with. You said "someone", that means you weren't sleeping around with everyone but only one."
"You are not being curious Berry; you are being your usual self which is being NOSY. I am not sleeping around with everyone because I left that part of me in high school. I've grown up and matured, but that doesn't mean I can't play around."
"That's a little bit confusing." She says taking in my words. Thinking about it, my relationship with Quinn is confusing. We don't talk about our feelings and in what kind of relationship we have. I never really thought of it until now. The look in my eyes says it all, Rachel must have read it. "So she's complicated and you don't know where you stand in her life, don't you?"
"I don't love her, she doesn't love me. It's just sex"
"Well I could have believe you if I am not seeing that pain in your eyes." What the f*ck. Who is she to tell me I'm in pain. That's the truth we're just two people sharing bed every now and then.
"Oh my god, you're oblivious to your own feelings."
"No. Don't put things into my mind Rachel. I don't love her, she doesn't love me. It's just sex. Alright?!" I love Quinn but I am not inlove with her. There's a big difference between the two. And who does this midget think she is telling me what I am supposed to feel.
"You keep saying that. Is that a mantra or something to keep you from falling?"
"Shut up Berry. " I can't take it anymore and I jump at Berry covering her mouth with my hands, when I hear my door open. Quinn is at the door with her mouth open in shock, which made me realize I am in an awkward position with Berry underneath me. Where Quinn is standing she may assume that I am straddling the dwarf I am holding. Shit.
"I'm sorry, have I interrupted something? "Scary-Quinn. She looks furious in a second but then maybe I am just imagining it cause I see her smirk in a millisecond.
"No, I'm just making Berry shut up because she's becoming intolerable." I say defensively.
"And you're making her shut up by straddling her?"
"Oh God Quinn. It may have seemed that we are in a very intimate position but it is not what you think. I am very inexperience with the girl to girl activity Santana is very accustomed to and besides I will never cheat on my boyfriend Brody. Santana is just being a lunatic and you are just in time to save me from being murdered." Ugh, Rachel and her choice of words. Girl to girl activity, seriously?!
"What are you doing here, I thought you're at work?" I ask Quinn curiously.
"There isn't too much work in the office and I decided to take the day off. Rachel, I am not expecting you to be this early." She's not the one to take an off day from work for a booty call.
"Well, I was a bit worried about the Brittany thing which turns out that…"
"Berry, thought that Britt's situation will affect me, but I have assured her that it does not affect me at all. And all of you are just over acting. Why do you all have to do that? Like you need to protect me like I am some fragile object. I am Santana Lopez, I am a badass! I don't need protection." That is what I need to say so I can change the direction of the conversation. Quinn, don't need to know I slip a little information about my "predicament" to Rachel. She will kill me or worst will deprive me from sex in a few days or weeks. That would be awful.
"So you told her?" Quinn asks our midget friend.
"Yes she told me and you should have all told me the second you knew what happened with Britt. She's the only one brave enough to tell me what happened which doesn't really affect me at all."
"Doesn't affect you?" why do I really have to explain my feelings to everyone.
"What do you think? I'll get the first flight to California and nurse Britt's heart. Stay with her until she moved on from her break up?"
"Yes." Quinn answers me like it's a no brainer question which annoys me.
"Oh God. She's my ex-girlfriend and my best friend, but we are not the same Santana and Brittany "link pinkies" anymore. I stop being the hero for Britt, she's old enough to handle her life and give her a little credit. She's a strong person and she doesn't need me in her life anymore. Give me more credit!"
"Rachel get out. We'll see you at dinner." Quinn commands.
"What?!" Rachel and I say in unison.
"I need to talk to Santana. I don't need you here. We'll see you at dinner." Quinn says in affirmation.
"Are you sure?" It was a more of a question to me than to Quinn. Berry look at me like asking me to make her stay. I am confused as well. I don't know what Quinn is thinking. What I said to make her this furious.
"YES." Oh God Scary Quinn. I don't deserve this.
"o-kay see at dinner." With that Rachel hurriedly left my apartment like she don't want to see Quinn's wrath.
"What's going on Quinn?" I asks, testing the waters.
"You cook lunch, I'll prepare some dessert. Then after lunch we'll watch some crappy series you like to watch."
QSQSQSQSQSQ
"You can't be alone." Quinn says out of nowhere while we are watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
"I beg your pardon?"
"You can't be alone because when you're alone, you'll think of Britt and how you want to be a hero for her again. And you'll fly out to Cali to nurse her broken heart."
"I just told you I wouldn't do that." I am getting tired of this conversation.
"You can't be alone. I'll stay with you the whole weekend and we'll come up with something for weekdays."
"But why?" I am not going to do anything stupid, they should know better.
"I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE ALONE." She reaches for my hands and squeezes it, I look in to her eyes and I am lost in the tenderness I see. It's like I am seeing her for the first time, it's like I unmasked her and the woman infront of me is the real Quinn Fabray.
"okay" and that's all it takes for me to kiss her. I feel a shift in this situation we are in. Rachel Berry what did you put into my mind?!
A/N another chapter done! Thanks for the reviews! :)
