"Look at you and your tan you bitch! Hawaii obviously agrees with you"
"Oh god it really does, I could totally see myself living there if it wasn't for the fact that I'd miss you guys too much"
Quinn was face down on Dani's table whilst the girl worked on her hips, she continued to come to Dani once a week simply because she felt so damn good afterwards plus the two of them had struck up quite the friendship and it was nice for Quinn to feel like she had a friend close by that she had made on her own and not relied solely on Santana's close group. Dani had cemented her place even more so in their circle since she and Brittany had begun casually dating so it was all fitting in to place.
"Maybe we should all move to Hawaii and open a special resort….with all our talents I'm sure it could be a real goer" Dani laughed to herself and Quinn smiled even though she couldn't be seen.
"That would actually be amazing"
"I know right? If only"
Quinn hummed a response but her head was already clicking over with ideas, she had already thought about something similar obviously they wouldn't be moving to Hawaii but if she could find the right type of premises she had already had an idea and looked into opening her own studio, Dani could get her workplace out of her house and have a practice within the building and she even had thoughts on Santana opening up her own gym. It would cost a lot of money to set up but with her money from her divorce, her savings and a loan it was something that could actually happen.
"How is Santana finding being back at work after your trip to paradise" Dani disturbed her from her thoughts.
"She is exhausted when she gets home but she loves what she does and I've been going in quite often for lunch which she seems happy with" Quinn was glad Dani couldn't see her cheeks turn a shade of pink when she thought of their lunch time escapades, they had well and truly christened every surface in her office.
"Awww I bet, I went and surprised Brit the other day… took a picnic in to eat on the dance studio floor in between her classes. It was kind of corny but she seemed to appreciate it"
"Cute! And you are still maintaining this is still just a casual thing?"
"Yes right now I am" Dani's own cheeks blushed she knew her feelings were growing towards the blonde dancer but she was keeping her guard up as best as she could for now.
"Ok Dan whatever you say" Quinn laughed into the table.
"Oh shhh! Right put some clothes on and I can start your legs. I will just go and get us something to drink"
Dani left the room and Quinn sat up to pull her top back on, she rolled her neck and it clicked a couple of times which felt good. There was a floor to ceiling mirror in the room and Quinn took the time to study the scars on her stomach as she waited for her friend to return they had faded quite a bit so she wasn't nearly as self-conscious about them as she had been, Santana had even managed to get her in a bikini in public on their holiday.
"I meant to mention how good they are looking Quinn" Quinn jumped by the sudden voice in the room.
"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you, you have obviously been applying that lotion regularly"
"Don't be sorry I was just lost in my own little world" Quinn pulled her top down and made her way over to where Dani was standing.
"I apply it morning and night religiously and after every shower, Santana thinks I should try and buy shares in the company" Dani chuckled it was exactly something she could see Santana saying.
"Speaking of your comical fiancé have you thought of how you are going to give her the ring yet?"
"I nearly did it 2 or 3 times in Hawaii but then I thought I want it to be bigger and involve the people she loves"
"Ohhh lets do a flash mob you have access to dancers and singers through Rachel"
"I think San would kill me if I made it that public….argh I want it to be perfect and beautiful"
"I think you are over thinking it my friend, Santana would be totally cool with it being in a fortune cookie if it meant you and her and your forever, just remember because she has already put a ring on it anything you do will come as a complete shock so it will always be memorable plus look at the ring she is going to bawl like a little baby and I have to be there for that"
"You are so very kind"
"I'm going to get a ton of photos and next time she tries to pull her I'm so bad ass crap I will just flash her pic and laugh"
"Wow and that's with your liking the person you are doing it to remind me never to piss you off!"
"Yes I'm a sick and twisted soul Quinn be very wary"
They laughed together at their own silliness before Dani proceeded with the job at hand.

"More fucking restrictions are they being serious?" Santana groaned at the memo that had just been passed to all of the trainers at their weekly meeting. She loved her job but the gym owners were starting to get more and more ridiculous with their demands.
"All they want is more cash to line their pockets it's starting to royally piss me off" Jack grunted beside her.
Individual trainers gave the gym a cut of every one of their sessions and now the owners wanted more of a cut, a guaranteed amount of sessions per week and to create more space they now wanted trainers to share offices. Santana despised having people try and tell her what to do.
"When do we have to agree to this?" she asked the pitiful man in front of them trying to seem authoritive.
"We will be signing new contracts in 12 weeks so it will be implemented from then.
"Three months before the vulchers come swooping in" Jack murmured once again beside her.
"Or a better way to look at it Johnny Bravo is three months to find a place of our own"
"Are you serious San?"
She thought back to the numerous times her parents had offered her a loan to open her own place, it would have to start out small but if she could get Jack to come along it could work well and the two of them had the biggest client lists anyway, she was sure if they could get somewhere reasonably close by all of their clients would follow them.
"I think I am but let me talk to Quinn first, however If you are interested in coming with me then save your cash we may have a couple of unpaid weeks ahead of us"
"I can absolutely do that, talk to Quinn and then let's sit down and hash out a few ideas" his whole demeanor had changed and he almost looked like a school boy it was quite sweet really and Santana knew he was the right pick, besides he was the only guy, actually the only staff member that hadn't flirted or come on to her in some way over the years.
"So do you need to talk it over with a significant other?" she realized he never really talked about his life outside of the gym so she wasn't even sure which team he played for.
"Nope just me, I'm my own man"
"Insinuating that because I have a fiancé I'm not my own woman?"
"Defensive much? No I'm not insinuating that at all" he grinned back at her devilishly.
"Good! We don't want to get off on the wrong foot now do we?"
"We certainly don't, I'd be too scared of your fiancé to do anything like that" he laughed and started to walk away from her.
"You're an ass you know that? And I'm the one you should be scared of"
"I do know that…..but at least I'm my own ass" He winked at her and went to greet one of his clients.
"Tosser" she said muttered on her way up the stairs to her office with a small jump in her step.
Her next client was due in 15 minutes so she grabbed her phone to text Quinn.
- Hey babes can't wait to see you
It was only a matter of seconds before she received a reply back
- Neither can I hon, feeling amazing after my session with Dani
- That's great! Day has just turned stressful here thieving owners want more and more out of us
Quinn read the reply a few times before swallowing deeply and deciding to test the waters.
- I'm sorry to hear that baby, why don't you tell them to stick their job and open your own place?
Santana couldn't hide the grin that broke out on her face convincing Quinn may not take the time she thought it would.
"You read my mind beautiful, I actually have a couple of crazy ideas I want to run past you when I get home if I can?"
Now it was Quinn's turn to smile this could be the start to some big exciting changes in their lives and funnily enough she didn't feel even the slightest bit of nerves at the prospect.
- Of course you can, I have some ideas of my own so let's have a big grown up chat when you get home about our future.
Santana laughed at the reply she was curious as to what Quinn's ideas were.
- If this has the potential to be a long chat can I screw your brains out before we start? You know I'm more responsive once multiple orgasms have been had.
- More responsive? San 95% of the time you fall asleep how is that responsive?
- You'd be amazed at what I can achieve in my sleep ;)
- I'm sure I would, see you soonish my love xxx
- Ha ha see ya when I'm looking at ya xoxo
- Gossip girl
- Geek
- But you love me
- I do very much xx
Santana hit send before putting her phone in her desk drawer and making her way back down stairs to a familiar face.
"Hey Mrs. F"
"Santana when are you going to start calling me Judy?"
"Well I figure I'd only just get used to calling you that before I'd have to call you the evil mother in law from hell so we might as well wait for that to eventuate"
"Charming! I can totally see what my daughter see's in you"
"Damn does it show that clearly that I'm the best lover in the world?"
"Oooookay I never thought I'd be the first one to say this but shall we get started?"
Santana laughed before adjusting the weights on the machine and giving Judy rep instructions.

Quinn turned the meat carefully to avoid splashes and placed it back in the oven, it was ready and just need to be kept warm now so Quinn was happy…..baked chicken was one of Santana's favorite meals and she wanted tonight to go well, she had spent the afternoon looking online at buildings for lease and had found a couple of options that could work for them one in particular ticked every box but only if Dani would be prepared to come with them and if they could find someone that wanted to rent the apartment above it….. otherwise they had no hope in hell of being able to afford it. Lost in her thoughts she was startled by the ringing of her phone seeing Rachel's name she reluctantly looked at the time as horrible as it sounded she needed to mentally note how far Santana was likely to be as Rachel could talk for a very long time, noting she still had at least 30 minutes she swiped her finger across the screen.
"Hey Rach"
"Fucking men they are all scheming bastards who couldn't keep it in their pants if was chained and bolted down"
Quinn chuckled and then realized her friend had been crying.
"What's going on?"
"Puck cheated on me with some blonde bimbo"
"Oh shit really? I'm so sorry Rach"
"I should have expected it he has never been able to settle down before"
"Yeah Santana has said that about him, she kinda hoped to be proven wrong this time, she will kick his ass for you if you want her to you know" the brunette was able to at least find the humor in the statement and laughed.
"Why does this keep happening Quinn?"
"None of this is your fault Rachel…however maybe next time you go for a guy with a better track record"
"Maybe I will become a cat lady"
"Yeah do it and then I can come and play with your pussy" Quinn was hoping once again to make her friend laugh she wasn't expecting however Santana to walk in the room at the exact second, she hadn't even heard the front door. The look on her girlfriends face was one of pure shock as she turned on her heel and walked straight back out of the room into the kitchen. Registering the blabbering at the end of the line she interrupted whatever was being said.
"Um Rach I will call you back in a sec"
Not waiting for a reply which she knew was rude especially at a time like this she ended the call and went to find Santana.
"You and the midget getting up to something I should know about?" Santana was bending down checking out the meal in the oven.
"It's your favorite and Rach is going to become a cat lady"
"I see, it smells delicious by the way"
"You know that comment was a joke right? You always make her laugh when she is upset and I was trying to do the right thing"
"Of course I know it's a joke"
"Oh good you looked so shocked I was worried you thought I was having an affair or something"
"I was shocked that it came out of your mouth, guess my amazing comical abilities are rubbing off on you"
"They must be and I didn't even blush when I said it"
"That's my girl" Santana took the first steps between them and wrapped her arms around Quinn's waist. She brushed her lips softly over Quinn's before pulling back quickly.
"Wait you said she was upset?'
"Puck cheated on her"
"I'll kill him…."
"She is handling it better than I imagined actually"
"The fucking moron I thought he finally figured out he had it good with Rach"
"I guess a leopard doesn't change their spots"
"I know we planned on talking tonight but we need to go see her..."
"Absolutely we wouldn't be proper friends if we didn't"
"I showered at work so I will just grab a sweater and I'm good to go"
"I will pack up dinner I'm sure she hasn't eaten and we can make it enough for three"
"I love you baby you are so amazing" Santana brushed their lips together once more.
"Shall we book in for a chat tomorrow?"
"Yep unless we discuss it in the car on the way over"
"I think we need to not be distracted"
"True! I'm sorry…..but tomorrow is definitely a date hot stuff" Santana squeezed her hand before heading towards their bedroom.
Quinn busied herself getting their meal packed for the drive to Rachel's she wasn't worried as it meant she could take some time tomorrow to get a few more things down on paper so she would be better prepared to put her idea to Santana. Right now they had to focus on their friend.
