Shelby took off her coat and scarf, opening the closet door, she hung up her things and walked to where Santana was. She leaned against the wall and just watched the Latina for a good second. Everything about this girl intrigued her, it was like seeing things from a different perspective. She pushed herself off the wall and stood behind the Latina. "She's beautiful and the best but she wants to take a break now. She just had a baby and wants to take a year off." She said with a frustrated sigh. "That's why I'm in need of a model right away." Shelby told her to try to pique the girls interest.
Santana was startled when she heard the voice behind her, she was so engrossed in the picture that she didn't hear Shelby come up behind her. She slowly turned around and saw Shelby. "Well, I hope you find the one you're looking for." She took her hands out of her pockets and took off her coat, laying it in her arms again. She walked around the foyer and took in the art and statues that she had. She pointed to a statue of a unicorn. "That's really beautiful." She let her fingers graze over the design of the statue.
Shelby shrugged her shoulders slightly and followed the Latina with her eyes, she had a knack for art and it surprised Shelby to say the least. She quietly stood beside her and noticed that she was still carrying her wet coat in her arms, she didn't want anything to drip on the new carpet she had in the living room. "I like unicorns." She said running her fingers gently through her hair. She was sort of a neat freak and she was getting worried that the coat would drip on her carpet. "I can hang that up for you." She said quietly holding out her arms for the coat.
Santana was memorized by the statue, she turned her head and realized that she was still wearing her shoes and holding her coat. "Sorry I forgot about that." She handed Shelby the coat and walked back to the carpet that was by the door, kicking her shoes off and placing them neatly beside Shelby's. She figured that she likes to keep things neat and tidy just like the way her hallway was. Everything was in its place and Santana would do her best to keep things as neat as she did.
Shelby shook her head and gave a small smile. "Don't worry about it." She took the girl's coat and hung up next to her own. "Are you hungry? Or would you prefer to take a shower first?" She closed the closet and walked in to the living room, taking a seat down on the black leather couch that she just recently got on her trip to Milan. She patted the seat down beside her to coax the girl to take a seat.
Santana watched Shelby with careful eyes, she saw her walk in the living room and suddenly she got nervous for some odd reason. She followed her inside and sat down on the far cushion looking up at Shelby. Thinking for a moment what she wanted to do first, all she really wanted to do was sleep but a shower and good meal sounded good to her. "If it's okay I think I want to take a shower." It had been a while since she was able to take a proper shower, she always made it a point to keep herself clean. Sometimes she would sneak in the nearby high school and shower when no one was around.
Shelby nodded her head and kept her hands on her lap. "I don mind at all. I have a few things for you to wear when you get out." She said with a bright smile try to make the girl feel more welcome. She looked like she felt scared or nervous and Shelby wanted her to feel like it was her home. "I can show you and get you everything you need." She suddenly got up and waited for the Latina to follow.
Santana was grateful for everything that Shelby was doing for her she hated to take a handout but, something about the way Shelby was doing it didn't make her feel bad about herself it made her feel good for a change. "Thank you for everything, you don't know how grateful I am to you." She said getting up off he couch and looking into Shelby's eyes with a sincere small smile on her face. "I'd like that." She said pulling the hair tie out of her hair and letting her hair fall loose over her shoulders.
Shelby smiled and looked at the Latina. "You're very welcome, Santana." This was the first time she actually used the girls name and it felt just right at this moment. "Follow me. The bathroom is up the stairs and to the right." She said walking up the stairs and stopping when she was at the top. "I'll go get you some clothes and towels, you can go in there." She quickly rummaged through her drawers.
Santana followed behind Shelby slowly. She took in all the art that was hung up on the walls going up the stairs. She slowly looked up to Shelby and nodded her head. She walked to what Shelby said was the bathroom. She started to take off her sweater and was now just in her tank top. She rolled up her tank top and examined her body in the mirror that was positioned over he sink. She had a few scars and bruises from falling and getting into fights but, she didn't look too bad. She continued to get undressed and turned the water on hot. She loved taking hot showers. She stepped in when she felt the heat and closed the shower curtain.
Shelby grabbed a pair of sweats a tank top and a t-shirt out of her drawers. She walked to the linen closet and pulled out a huge fluffy white towel with a smaller towel for her hair. Shelby took her body wash and loofah and shampoo and conditioner, that she just recently bought and knocked on the door. When she got no response she opened the door and set the towels down on the towel rack and placed the body wash at the corner of the shower. She tried hard not to look at the girl but something was pulling her eyes and she saw the silhouette of her body and felt something inside her. She quickly walked out and closed the door, leaning against the door frame, she sighed to herself.
Santana closed her eyes as the water beat down on her back just as she liked it. She heard the faint sound of a door shutting and she peaked her head out and saw the towels and body wash and loofah that was left for her. She picked it up and figured that Shelby must have left while she was in her the shower. She lathered herself up and took her sweet time enjoying the feel of the hot water on skin. She opened the shampoo and took a sniff, it smelled like strawberries. She liked the way it smelled, she shampooed and conditioned her hair twice, before shutting the water off, toweling herself dry and wrapping the towel around her hair. She got dressed in the clothes that Shelby left for her. Shelby shook the image of the girl from her head. She was here to help her that was it.
Shelby finally decided to make herself and Santana something to eat. She walked in the kitchen and tapped her chin a few times thinking of what she could make. She opened the fridge. "Nothing!" She said to the empty kitchen. She opens the freezer and sees a frozen pizza. "Eureka! This is perfect" She shouts then gives a slight giggle over the fact she was talking to herself. Taking the pizza and setting it in the oven at the right temperature waiting for the Latina to come down, she hummed quietly to herself as she took a glass of red wine and sat down on a bar stool with a satisfied look on her face, she took a sip of her wine.
