Quinn's POV

"Do you really mean it San?" I say to Santana. We are currently lying in bed cuddled into one another. After her confession last night we've not separated from each other.

"Mean what?" she replies back.

"That you want to be with me"

As I say this she lifts my chin to look me in the eye.

"With all my heart Q. You're the one that want to be with. I love Ashley I do, but when it comes to you you're the one that has my heart, you always will"

After hearing that I can't help the big grin that arrives on my face. All I want is for Santana and I to be together and the prospect that I am going to get this just makes my whole world. She is the love of my life. I move forward to her and connect our lips in a slow passionate kiss, she tightens her grip on me as we kiss. As we let go we lean our forehead on each other's.

"I love you" I whisper against her lips.

"I love you too baby"

Our lips move against each other once again, im not sure who initiated this one but it doesn't matter, it just shows were both here for one another, that were who each other is meant to be with.

After another round in the bedroom we both finally get up. I make my way over to the kitchen we're I proceed to make Santana and I some breakfast.

Santana's arms wrap around my waist as im in the middle of making breakfast and she starts placing kisses along my neck.

"Mmm San I can't concentrate when you're doing that" I feel her smile into my neck and then let go as she walks up beside me.

"What are you making?" she asks.

"Pancakes" I turn to look at her when I say this as I know they are her favourite.

I see a big grin appear on her face as I've mentioned them; this makes me smile in return.

"I love pancakes"

"I remember"

She leans in one again and places a small kiss on my lips and then goes to sit down at the table.

When they are ready I place them in the middle of the table, I take the seat opposite her. As we start eating Santana takes one of my hands and interlaces her fingers with mine. It feels like the most normal thing ever, like we do this on a regular basis.

As we finish Santana moves off to the bedroom to get dressed out of the t shirt and shorts I gave her this morning and into her clothes from yesterday. She comes out fully dressed and wraps her arms around my waist again; my hands immediately go around her neck.

"I promise im coming back to you Q, I meant what I said last night, you're the love of my life there's no way im leaving you again"

"You promise?"

She nods in return "You're stuck with me for good Fabray" she winks at me.

I move in tighter towards her so that her body is completely flushed against mine. We stay like this for a good 2 minutes until she moves her head so that her lips are on mine.

I don't know how long we've been kissing for but its long enough so that we are both out of breath in the end.

"I love you Quinn, I love you so much. It's you and me forever" Santana speaks out. She gives me one last kiss before she leaves my apartment.

I can't but send Santana a message already.

Santana's POV

I arrive at my apartment 20 minutes later. This is it. I open the door to see Ashley sat on the couch, she is clutching something which I can't quite figure out what is it, that is until she looks up at me and stands up so that we are face to face. My phone is in her hand, I must have left it here last night. I notice that her eyes are all red and her tears have tear stains on them.

"I figured since puck was in a crisis last night you sprinted out of the apartment to go and help your best friend. This morning I heard you phone go off so I went to go and read the message thinking it was you using Pucks phone to tell me where you were. That was until I read the message and then after I read that one I read all of your other messages." Ashley says as she chucks me my phone.

I look at the phone and see that Ashley has read my entire convocation with Quinn and then I see the last message which is a new one from Quinn sent just after I left her place.

I miss you already – Q x

I look up from the phone and back to Ashley, she looks heartbroken.

"This isn't how I wanted you to find out" I whisper out.

"Find out what Santana?" She asks. "Come on, I want you to say it"

"Im in love with Quinn" I see the pain in her eyes as I say this.

"You promised me" I see tears falling out of her eyes. It breaks my heart knowing I've caused this pain for her.

"What?"

"You promised me you wouldn't fall in love with her"

Flashback.

"What about you maid of honour?" I ask since she didn't mention it.

"That's easy. It's got to be Lucy"

"Who's Lucy?" I don't think I've met a Lucy before.

"She's been my best friend since we were little, we grew up together. You haven't met her yet. She's been travelling around the world for two years. We haven't been able to talk as much since she left but she is the person that knows me best. She actually just moved to New York a couple days ago, I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow. You should actually come with me so we can tell her about the wedding and I actually need to tell her about you"

"Wow she must be pretty special to you"

"She really is, I swear everyone that meets her falls in love with her" She says as she gives out a small laugh.

"Well I promise you I won't fall in love with her" I say back to her and she laughs at me.

End of Flashback.

"That was before I knew who she was"

"What are you talking about?"

I know I have to start explaining the whole story to her.

"I met Quinn when I was 17 years old. I was in a bar one night and I saw her there and went up to talk to her. We hit it off immediately and that night we hooked up. The day I went off to school thinking it was a normal day but when I got there it turned out that Quinn was my teacher. At first she tried to ignore it and carry on like nothing had happened between us but I was so persistent. After a while and many efforts we started dating. We fell in love with each other. But then one day I was on my way to see her and I got into a car accident. This was when my parents found out about our relationship, my mom definitely wasn't happy about it. The day after my accident Quinn got called into the principal's office, somehow the school had found out about our relationship. She got fired and they told her to leave town so they wouldn't have to call the police. That evening she went back to the hospital so that she could tell me, she couldn't find me though, instead she found my mom but she wouldn't let Quinn see me and she told her to leave so instead Quinn left my mom a letter for her to give to me and then she left. My mom didn't give me the letter though, this made me believe that Quinn left without me, without saying goodbye. It broke my heart and then 3 years later I meet you, we start dating and then after 2 years I ask you to marry me. You say you want a girl named Lucy as your maid of honour and I don't think anything of it as I don't know anyone named Lucy. When we go to meet her I found out that Lucy is actually Quinn and it just brings back all those feelings from five years ago. I tried to ignore it at first but I couldn't. She told me she was still in love with me and deep down I knew that I was with her"

I decide to finish there if she wants to know more I will tell her. When I was telling her it all I could see that she was breaking down inside.

She stays silent for a few minutes like she trying to piece everything together.

"Have you slept with her while we were together?"

I painfully nod at her. I can see that this hurts her even more.

"More than once?"

I let out a shaky breath and give her a small nod again.

"When?"

"Ashley" I sigh.

"Tell me" she says in a stern voice.

"The time I told you I was with my mom and last night"

She looks at me deep in the eye. The pain in her eyes is horrible.

"You were there weren't you? When I was at Quinn's panicking to her about how I didn't know where you were"

I give her a small nod once again.

"I should have known" she says. "I kept noticing the way you looked at her. Everything fits now, the things you said to each other, the way you acted around each other. Im so stupid"

"You're not stupid" I place my hand on her arm but she quickly shrugs it off.

"I want you to leave"

"Can I grab some stuff?"

"I don't care, I just want you out."

She walks away from me. There is nothing I can do to fix this, nothing I can do to make her happy. I walk off towards the bedroom and grab some of my stuff and pack it all in a suitcase.

I make my way out towards the door. I open it and walk out so that im in the hall.

"Santana" I turn around.

She walks up to me and place her ring in my hand.

"Im so sorry Ashley, I never meant to.."

SLAP

The impact of her hand on my face stops my words. It's painful, so painful but I know it doesn't come close to the pain she is feeling.

She doesn't say anything else, she just walks back in side and closes the door.

Quinn's POV

My mind won't stop thinking of Santana, I can't help but wonder what she is doing now. Is she breaking up with Ashley? Is she staying with her again? All of a sudden my mind won't stop thinking of the worst alternative.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…

I rush over to the door hoping that it's Santana. Im relieved to see her standing there.

"You got room in this place for another one?"

A big grin arrives on my face as I see her suitcase in her hands. She did it and now we can finally be together. I move aside to let her in. I close the door behind her and turn back around to face her.

She immediately pulls me into a soft kiss. This is what forever feels like.
