Santana tried to just fall asleep, but it was pretty hard to do so when all she could think about was Quinn and why she had to cancel. She couldn't help but think that it must have been something important for Quinn to cancel last minute and Santana being who she was just couldn't let that go.

She threw back the covers off her body and stood up out of the bed. She walked to her closet to quickly put on some black jeans a t-shirt and then her leather jacket. She was going to go over to Quinn's place and make sure everything was okay. She walked into the kitchen and picked up the flowers out of the bin, they were still presentable enough to give to her and Santana hoped that these would cheer Quinn up from what had happened.

After putting her boots on she was out of the door. The drive to Quinn's was short and when she got to her house after parking in Quinn's driveway she got out and walked up to the door.

She knocked but after a couple minutes of waiting by the door she realised that no one was in. Santana didn't mind, she would wait for as long as she had to, she just had to know that Quinn was okay, call it her protective instincts, especially after finally realising that she actually wanted to be with the blonde and not in just a friends with benefits way, in an actual relationship way. Santana was hoping that whatever it was that caused Quinn to cancel wouldn't change things between them, she didn't want anything to get in the way of their future together.

She got back in her car and sat down, placing the flowers on the seat next to her and turning on the radio, she would wait as long as she had to.

It was around half an hour later when Santana noticed another car coming into the driveway, upon seeing it she picked up the flowers and got out of the car.

"I'm really glad we did this Quinn" Santana heard a male voice say.

Santana walked around her car to see what was going on. She froze completely when she saw who Quinn was stood with.

"Santana?" Quinn noticed the brunette standing there, "What are you doing here?"

Santana regained herself on the outside but on the inside she was beyond confused at what Quinn was doing with Sam. She walked up to the two blondes, the flowers still in a firm grip in her hands.

"After reading your text I assumed that a family member had passed away or something so I came here to see if you were okay. What are you… what are you doing with him?"

"We're on a date" Sam, who was glued to Quinn's side said proudly as he placed an arm around Quinn's waist. Hearing that and seeing his arm around the blonde caused Santana to clench her jaw tight.

"That's why you cancelled on me? To go out with trouty mouth! I thought you told me that he was pathetic, that you didn't want anything to do with him?" Santana didn't know what was going on right now, why the hell would Quinn cancel on her to go out with Sam? It didn't make sense.

This information sunk her heart, and it made her question whether everything Quinn told her was the truth and if what Santana felt was just a one sided thing.

"We're back together" Sam puffed his chest out as he said so proudly and albeit very smugly.

"You're…" Santana couldn't even finish her words because she was getting more and more upset and angry by the minute and she really didn't want to show that in front of them.

"No" Quinn was quick to respond, seeing that Santana was getting upset she had to clear the air. She stepped out of Sam's embrace and walked closer to the brunette. "Santana, listen it's not what you think"

"Really? Because it looks to me like you just went on a date with your ex-boyfriend"

"Santana" Quinn pleaded, stepping closer once again.

"You know what? I came here because I was worried about you and I wanted to see if you were okay which clearly you are so I'm just gonna go. Leave you two to have your goodnight kiss" Santana said bitterly before dropping the flowers and turning around to get back into her car.

"Santana please, let me explain" Quinn pleaded once again.

"Goodbye Quinn" Santana didn't bother to turn around, she didn't want them to see what kind of effect this was having on her. Instead she got back in her car and drove away, leaving the two blondes in the driveway outside of Quinn's house.

"Wow, she was acting all kinds of crazy" Sam chuckled as he watched Santana drive away.

Hearing this caused Quinn to turn her head back to Sam after picking up the flower Santana had dropped.

"Look Sam, this was a mistake. I should never have agreed to do this tonight. You should go" Quinn said before turning away to walk up to her front door leaving Sam stood alone. Which he wasn't for long as he quickly chased after her.

"Wait, I meant what I said about getting back together Quinn. Tonight was just an example of how great we are together. You're the one, Quinn"

Quinn sighed, this was one of the many reasons she knew that this was a bad idea. Plus the only reason which she had a smile on her face for the night was because they had a table outside the restaurant and the paparazzi were taking pictures of them all night and she needed them to think that she was straight and the Santana rumours were just rumours and not real even though they actually were.

"No Sam, I'm really not. Let's just forget that this happened. Goodnight" She turned the key in her door and walked inside, hearing Sam shouting "I'm not giving up" as she closed the door on him.

She felt beyond guilty about what had just happened, the look on Santana's face would haunt her. To see how upset she was getting caused Quinn to feel upset, she didn't want Santana to get the wrong idea which she clearly did. Or rather didn't, Quinn did ditch Santana tonight to go out with Sam, that part was true but she in no way had feelings for the guy and she needed Santana to know that what she did tonight was for public reasons only.

She walked in her house and went straight to the kitchen. She reached up to pick up the empty vase in the cupboard and filled it with water. She placed the flowers in the vase.

They really were beautiful, lilies were her favourite smile and she could help the smile from arriving on her face because Santana knew that. She waited enough time in her house so that by the time that she walked back outside to her car, Sam would be gone by now.

She grabbed her car keys and walked out the front door to her car. There was no way in hell that she was just going to sit in her house and mull over everything that had happened tonight, she needed to go and see Santana and tell her everything that was going on, that she had no feelings for Sam at all.

She got in her car, placed the keys in the ignition and left to drive over to Santana's place.

It didn't take her long to get to Santana's, probably because she was speeding all the way there as she wanted to get there as fast as possible. She didn't even know if Santana would let her in but she had to at least try.

Once parked up, she got out the car and walked up to Santana's front door knocking many times.

To Quinn's relief the door was opened.

"Shouldn't you be with your boyfriend?" Santana bitterly said as she took a swig of the bottle of rum that was in her hands.

"Santana, it's not what you think"

"Then what is it? Because it looked like trouty was just about suck you in to his huge mouth before you saw me. You cancelled on me so that you could go out with him tonight, I don't need you to explain this to me Quinn, I saw it all." Santana attempted to close the door but Quinn quickly placed her hand on the door to stop her, she even pushed it back and forced her way inside.

"Yes, I cancelled on you to go out with him tonight" Quinn started off causing Santana to shut the door and turn around. "Just before I was about to leave to go to your house I got a call from my agents telling that there were rumours about you and I out there, so they set me up on a date with Sam so that the paparazzi could get photos of us together. It was for publicity reasons only. You have to know that I would have much rather been here with you" Quinn moved forward to place her hands on Santana's cheeks.

Santana looked up into those hazel eyes she had grown so fond of, "You know, tonight was an important night. I made your favourite meal, got your favourite wine, placed candles out, did all this romantic crap because I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend because I'm crazy about you Quinn. You're the first girl that I've actually wanted to make a proper commitment to, but hearing about how you went on a date with your stupid ex-boyfriend just because you were scared of some rumours pretty much tells me what your answer was going to be. So if you don't mind Quinn, you should probably go and leave me to drink the rest of this bottle in peace". Santana stepped out of Quinn's embrace and took another swig from the bottle of rum.

She walked away from Quinn leaving her to let herself out. She walked up the stairs and went to her room.

Quinn was left standing in Santana's hallway, shocked at Santana's words and yet completely ecstatic at them. She wanted that commitment, she wanted it so badly, and she just wasn't ready for anybody but her and Santana to know about it yet.

Quinn couldn't leave now, she followed Santana up the stairs and into her room. She walked up to Santana to was stood by the bed drinking from the bottle. Quinn walked up to the brunette and snatched the bottle of rum out of Santana's hands.

"Hey!" Santana complained as she turned her body towards Quinn. "What the fuck, Quinn"

Quinn ignored the complaint and instead crashed her lips onto Santana's.

Santana couldn't stop herself from kissing the blonde back, it was like she was addicted to Quinn's lips and once she had a little taster of them she had to have more.

She instantly wrapped her arms around Quinn's waist as Quinn's arms found their way wrapped tightly around Santana's neck.

Santana wasted no time in pushing her tongue into Quinn's mouth, receiving a moan from the blonde, which just made Santana want the blonde more.

However, Quinn was the first to let go of the kiss whilst still keeping her lips hovering over Santana's.

"Ask me the question, Santana"

"What?" Santana was still a little hazy from that kiss.

"Ask me to be your girlfriend" Quinn breathed onto Santana's lips.

"Quinn, you clearly don't want…"

Quinn cut Santana off with another passionate kiss, "Ask me, Santana"

Santana looked into the hazel eyes before her and saw that they were staring deeply into her own, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes" Quinn grinned before leaning back in to connect her lips to the brunettes in front of her.

They kissed as equals, as two people showing their love for one another, that nothing else in the world mater right now other than what was going on in this room.

"Mmmm wait" Santana gently pushed Quinn to separate them slightly, but still close enough that their arms were wrapped around one another. "I thought you didn't want to tell anybody about us?"

Quinn paused for a second, feeling guilty about her answer but it was something she had to do, "I don't, not yet at least"

"So what? You want us to have a secret relationship?"

Quinn sighed, she really didn't want to have to do this to Santana but she couldn't be public with this right now, she wasn't ready for the amount of attention that this would bring and she didn't know what it would do to her career, after what Tina told her earlier it would exactly be an ego boost.

"For now, yes."

"You do know that this means that you're practically forcing me back in the closet right?"

"I want to be with you Santana, I want that more than anything but I'm not ready for people to know about us yet. The press would have a field day if they found out and I really don't want that kind of attention right now, can't we just keep it between us for now?"

Only one question came to Santana's mind right now and before they continued to do anything she had to know the answer to it.

"Are you ashamed of me?" Santana asked, her vulnerability getting passed the walls she had built up.

"What? No, of course not!" Quinn was quick to shut down Santana's words, hating that Santana had thought that. "I am crazy about you Santana, I just don't want to ruin what we have going on right now with it going public where people can butt in and ruin it for us"

Santana really hated the idea of having a secret relationship, she was happy with who she was and had worked hard for that and now a part of her was being pushed away but on the other hand she really wanted to be with Quinn and right now the latter was more important.

She could see that Quinn was scared and she had every right to be, so Santana would give her the time to process things for herself.

"Okay, we can keep it between us"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I don't want to push you into doing something you're uncomfortable with"

Hearing this caused Quinn to grin and lean back in to passionately capture Santana's lips with her own again. "Now how about we celebrate this relationship the proper way"

Santana grinned into the kiss, "What did you have in mind?"

"You and me, naked on every surface in this house" Quinn propositioned suggestively.

"This is going to be a long night isn't it?"

"You bet your ass it is"
