"Are you ok?" Santana asked Rachel quietly as she enveloped her in a hug.
"Surprisingly I'm much better than I thought, maybe deep down I never really trusted him you know? I mean look at his history"
"He is a dumb ass and I will kick said dumb asses ass the next time I see him"
"I wouldn't worry about it San I think I am forever meant to be alone"
"You aren't, and I wouldn't try and stop her" Quinn said softly beside the brunette as she rubbed her shoulder.
"Too fucking right, his brain is in his pants if I kick it hard enough it may get back to where it's meant to be"
This made both the other girls in the room chuckle.
"So we brought dinner with us if you are hungry? Its chicken I never know if you are on a complete veggie week or an occasional white meat week" Quinn queried as she held up the bag in her hand.
"I'm not that hungry but I will try a bit as it smells delicious" Rachel smiled at her gratefully.
"Everything about my future wife is delicious shorty, the food she makes, the way she looks, the way she….." Santana mused as they made their way into the kitchen.
"Say no more, that conversation needs to go no further Santana" Rachel groaned.
"Aww you are no fun when you've just been cheated on"
"Santana!" Quinn stopped and swung around to glare at her girlfriend
"Easy Q…..Rach knows I'm only kidding"
"It's true Quinn I am well versed in all of this one's snide remarks"
"Just trying to cheer you up Berry"
"And I love you for it Lopez"
Quinn shook her head the dynamics of their friendship amused her greatly.

"I can't believe he cheated on her" Dani said rather bewildered, Brittany had just got the news from Santana via a text.
"Yeah I thought they could make it work this time"
"It will never work whilst he thinks he can sleep with just anyone, Rachel is incredible he is a fool"
"True" Brittany replied quietly as she sat on the opposite end of the sofa.
Dani looked at her a little confused; before she had taken the call they were snuggled up together watching cat videos on YouTube.
"What's up babe?"
"Are you going to break up with me?"
"What? NO! Why would you think that?"
"It's just when you first met Rach you were keen on her but she was with Puck and now…."
"Britt, honey come on…..I'm not that type of person…..I lov….."
Brittany snapped her head to face her.
"You love?"
"Cookies…" Dani laughed nervously "Cookies are awesome!"
"Oh right…yeah me too, you want some?"
Dani rolled her eyes it was now or never.
"I'd love some cookies, but first I'd love for you to say that you are happy for us to be more than casually dating, for us to be "together" together and for you to tell me that you love me back as much as I love you"
Brittany's mouth dropped open she wasn't sure if she had just heard that correctly.
"Or just the being together bit, I understand if you aren't ready to say it back. I want to be with you B, properly if you'll have me"
Within seconds the blonde was across the sofa and pressing her lips against a startled Dani's
"I want to be with you! Of course I do! I want to give this a real shot and yes I'm crazy in love with you too"
"Hey I didn't say anything about crazy" Dani laughed before her lips were once again being attacked.
30 minutes later
"So how in denial were we Britt? This was meant to be casual fun"
"I know" The taller girl stretched her arm they were now both curled up under a blanket after a pretty heavy make out session.
"I guess you can't stop what the heart wants"
"I'm glad we can't, you are an amazing woman Dan"
And with that statement Brittany got up to her feet and held out her hand to lead Dani somewhere they could celebrate this revelation more adequately.
"Hey what about the cookies" Dani giggled as she was being pulled towards the bedroom.
"I have something sweeter than that for you"
Dani cheeks reddened slightly at the thought of what a simple TV night had just turned in to; she did however also quicken her pace.

Quinn stood outside the building and instantly fell in love with it, it was classic and had character she knew this was the place and she hadn't even been inside yet, she had felt it as soon as she had seen the photo's online.
The talk with Santana had gone better than both of them expected and now it seemed like Quinn's dream was actually going to become a reality.
Santana and Jack would open a gym on the ground floor there was plenty of room for it to start smallish and expand as required, there was a smaller office to the left which Dani had jumped at the chance to move her business in to and there was a space on the second floor in which with a little bit of work could be transformed into quite the dance studio, Mike and Brittany had agreed that instead of having Quinn leave their business they would expand their studio's which meant they would help cover a lot of the set up costs and they would all become business partners. Jack was also more than happy to rent the upstairs apartment it couldn't be more perfect.
"Hi, Quinn?" a young blonde woman asked.
"Yeah Rosie I assume?"
"Yes, Hi Rosie from Whitson's realty it's nice to meet you in person are you ready to take a look inside?"
Butterflies took flight in Quinn's stomach as she nodded… this could be it.

"Baby it's perfect, I've put an offer in" Quinn had called Santana as soon as her viewing had finished.
"Couldn't even wait for us to take a look huh? That's not cool Quinn this involves a lot of us"
"We can't lose this place, I'm sorry I should have waited for you and Jake to take a look but you both seemed so keen I just did it….fuck I just did it….. should I call her and tell her to hold off till you guys can see it? I'm really sorry San I lost my mind for a few minutes"
"You done?"
"Done what?"
"Rambling"
"Oh…yeah I'm done"
"Q I was messing with you, if you think it's perfect then I trust you and if you love it then I know I will. When will we find out if the offer has been accepted?"
"She said she should know by the end of the day"
"Well I guess I'd better bring a bottle of champagne home with me then"
"It might not be accepted San"
"Then we drink our depression away! But I have a good feeling"
"I love your optimism sweetie"
"I love the way you say my name when you come"
Quinn blushed as though someone could hear their conversation, her girlfriend was laughing at the other end.
"Santana Lopez inappropriate"
"Oh sorry, I thought we were listing things we love about each other"
"And that tops your list does it?"
"Well no my list is very extensive. BUT it is almost lunch time"
Quinn felt the familiar ache in her core
"I will be there soon anything in particular you want for lunch?"
"The blue lingerie today please"
"See you soon my love"
"Can't wait"
Quinn ended the call and hurried her pace she needed to get home to shower and change.

"Holy shit can you guys all stop growing up and owning businesses and buying buildings and getting married and shit"
Santana laughed at Kurt's reaction they had met up for a coffee after work a few days later Kurt had decided it had been far too long since they had had a catch up just the two of them.
"Life is pretty good I must say my gay friend even with the large mortgage looming"
"Oh you guys will be fine you are going to have no problem paying that shit off with one of the hottest gyms and dance studios in the city"
"I hope so I really want this to work out"
"It will I know it will"
"How's things with you and Blaine?"
"Really good thanks we are thinking about getting a bigger place in the next few months ourselves actually"
"Why? Did he knock you up?"
"Very funny Satan, we just want a bit more space and to start something fresh we have done all we can in this place and unless we start decorating all over again we need to move on…..I feel like a new challenge"
"I bet Blaine is thanking his lucky stars that he fell in love with designer of the year right now"
"Oh shhh I will do most of the work and he loves it when each room is finished"
"If you say so honey but let him know there is always room for him in my spare room if living with his world turned upside down gets a little too much to bare"
"Bite me"
"No thanks you aints my flavor…..just a tad too much testosterone…..but admittedly only a tad" she winked at her friend.

In a café a few blocks away Quinn sat with Rachel, Dani and Brittany.
"So what do you think? I know we have a lot of stuff going on but will you help?"
Rachel actually squealed before giving Quinn a bone crushing hug which made the blondes face twist humorously in turn making the loved up couple across the table burst into laughter.
"I think it's fair to say we all couldn't be more honored to help you propose to your fiancée" Dani replied once she had controlled her laughter.
"That's great Kurt and Blaine are in, in fact Kurt currently has Santana distracted at Ella's so we have a bit of time to get some details down and plans underway"
"This will be epic, Britt and I will help anyway you need us to right Britt?"
"We are at your service ma'am" Brittany nodded at her girlfriend and saluted Quinn which made them all laugh once more.
"Ohhhh and I can sing and I can get other singers and dancers and just about anything or anyone else you need" Rachel added excitedly.
"Great so we are actually doing this…." Quinn had to admit she was a little nervous, not about Santana's answer but that they could pull it off without the Latina finding out or suspecting something was up.
"No turning back Quinnie" Dani laughed before high fiving her friend across the table.
"No turning back" Quinn nodded and smiled at the 3 beaming faces staring at her.
