-2 months later-
"Jesus Berry, it's MY birthday you know? You don't have to confirm with me. I'm the star of the show for Christ sakes!" Santana said as she walked out of her office
"You're not getting any younger San, I don't want you to forget ha ha" Rachel laughs,
"Every year you remind me and every year I remind you how much older you are than me!" Santana laughs, she was on fire today.
"You only turn 30 once you know! And I want to make sure it's perfect!" Rachel said
"Okay hobbit, we will see you tonight! Wear that little thing I like, I'll leave a Quinn at home" she knew his would get Rachel back
"Why Quinn is still marrying you, I'll never know!"
"It's because I'm great in bed Rach!" She laughed
"You're such a man sometimes Lopez, i gotta go! I'll see you horn dogs tonight" and with that she hung up as Santana headed home.
On her way she saw a group of girls no older than 21, coming out of a bar, drunk dancing and laughing, her mind flashed back
-flashback to Santana's 21st birthday-
Santana's college friends decide to take her to a bar for her 21st because...duh!
"You guys I don't want to go out, I always spend my birthdays with Q" Santana said as she changed. Her friends roll their eyes
"Girl. You're only 21 once! Live a little! You don't date, you don't go out with us! Well tonight YOU ARE! We won't let you mop around about a girl who could care less!" One friend said "Forget Quinn! Tonight is all about you" another friend says
"Yeah and getting you laid because lord knows the last time you got some!" The 3rd friend said. All the girls laugh
"Fine but I'm not staying late" Santana sighed. "Whatever you say grandma" The girls laughed again.
Her phone rang "Quinn" All the girls said simultaneously as they rolled their eyes
"Shut up you guys!" Santana said as she left the room.
"Happy birthday best friend!" Quinn said
"Thank you Q, I wish you were here" Santana sadly admitted
"The girls are making me go out tonight"
"I wish I was too, You should San, you deserve to have fun, you need to live a little! Don't stay in that apartment tonight you hear me?" Quinn responded
"I guess so" Santana said
"We're doing shots Santana get your ass in here!!" The girls yelled from the kitchen
"Okay I gotta go Q I'll talk to you later!"
"Okay, bye San" she hung up the took endless amounts of shots, As they left the apartment the girls took her phone.
"Hey!" Santana said as she tried to get it back "No way Santana Lopez No Quinn tonight, Tonight is all about getting you drunk, and LAID!"
All the girls cheered. This was gonna be a long night. They arrive around 10pm after having pre gamed, the girls walked to the bar.
Santana sees a blonde from across the room eyeing her.
"Well you can't say you don't have a type San, Jesus!" Her friend laughed
"What are you talking about?" Santana turns to her friend
"Don't you see it? Of course you DONT, She looks like Quinn!" All 3 girls laugh
"You're so original Lopez!" One of the girls yell "You guys shut up she does not and shut up because she's coming this way!"
Who was Santana kidding of course she had a type and of course she looked like Quinn.
"Hey wanna dance birthday girl? They all turn around to see the blonde standing there "Hell yeah she does!" One of her friends pushed her
"Please! Take her off our hands, she's hopeless!" Another girl says "Make sure she gets laid please she's driving us nuts!" Her other friend yelled
"Anything to get away from these 3 clowns" Santana says as they walk to the dance floor. "So how old are you and what's your name?"
The blonde asks "21 and Santana!" Santana responds "Hailey. A baby! Well let me be the first to welcome you!" The blonde bows and laughs.
She begins to grind on Santana and cheers erupt from the bar, her friends are being idiots as usual, she tries to get them to stop but this makes them louder.
They have a few more drinks. "You wanna get out of here gorgeous?" The blonde asks Santana
"Hell yeah!" She laughs. They grab their jackets and head to the apartment, as they reach the door to the kitchen, they start kissing, Santana struggles to unlock the door without breaking the kiss, as the enter, Santana takes her shirt off, picks up the blonde, places her on the counter and takes her shirt off.
The blonde begins to undo Santana's pants and slide them down a little, she wraps her legs around Santana's waist as they continue to the living room, just as Santana's pants drop,
she sees Quinn on the couch, She immediately drops the blonde in her arms.
"Q? What are you doing here?"
"It's your birthday San, we always spend it together, surrpriseeee" she said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't know you were coming" Santana apologized as she pulled up her pants.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sorry I interrupted" she said as she left. Santana felt horrible she apologized to the blonde, ran out of the house after Quinn but it was too late.
"Do you want me to go or stay Santana" she took a minute to think "Stay" she said. She had to get over her one way or another.
She would end up dating said blonde for the next year until she graduated and eventually she would bring said blonde to dinner with her friends
-end flashback-
"Honey I'm homeeeee" Santana sang as she hung her jacket up. Silence... "Q?" No response. "Lucy?" She knew that would get her but nothing.
She laughed and saw a note on the counter.
"I'll see you tonight my love, I had a few last minute ends to tie up" Santana picks up her phone
"I left you a note was it not good enough future wife of mine?" Quinn laughs, she knew Santana would be calling her
"You know I didn't expect you to ditch me on my birthday future Mrs Lopez" she joked back
"I will make it up to you I promise babe!"
"I gotta go my love, I'll see you tonight at Ells, I'm so excited. I loveeee you!" Quinn said and they hung up.
-Santana's party at Ells-
Santana decided to change it up tonight, she entered wearing a tight all black suit with red accents and red heels, her hair was pulled back and curled.
"Is there anything you can't pull off Satan?" Kurt asks as he walks up with Blaine
"Lady Hummel, Sir Blaine" Santana laughs as she hugs them both
"Seriously San you look beautiful" Blaine said.
"Thank you guys but stop" she blushed
"Jesus Santana you could wear a paper bag and it would look good!" They turn around as the tiny brunette walks up arm and arm with Finn.
"You look really beautiful Santana " Finn says as he hugs her. Rachel hugs her best friend "Thank you both for coming" "Have you guys seen Quinn?"
All 4 friends jaws dropped, "What the hell guys?"
Santana turned around and froze. In walked Quinn with those hazel green eyes that pierced her soul, in what seemed like slow motion.
She had on a short tight red dress which was out of the norm for her, along with matching red heels, her hair was down. She looked absolutely stunning.
"Santana close your mouth" Kurt laughs as he throws a napkin at her but her eyes never leave Quinn.
"Take a pic it will last longer perv" Quinn laughs as she walks up.
"Hi baby, happy birthday!" She kisses Santana who is still in shock.
"You are absolutely breathtaking Q" she whispers as she deepens the kiss.
"Okay you can do that later ladies, it's time to celebrate Satan!" Kurt yells, shocked people in the bar begin to look at them
"Kurt! You cannot say that out loud!" Rachel scolds him. "Sorry everyone go back to your drinks. Nothing to see here" Blaine interrupts.
]The group of friends laugh and head to their table. They spend the night laughing and drinking. "A toast! To my best friend, Santana Lopez! May tonight be as special as you are" Rachel toasts. They lost count how many shots they've had by now.
"You want to dance?" Santana asks Quinn. "I have to run to the restroom real quick I'll be right back" she kisses Santana and left. A few moments later Ells stood on stage
"Good evening everyone, welcome! Tonight we celebrate a very special birthday Her friends cheered for her
"Santana, we all love you very much but there's someone who loves you a little bit more" she winked at Santana.
Santana was confused, she looked at the group who had no idea what was going on.
"Everyone it's my absolute honor to introduce Quinn" Everyone claps and their mouths drop. Quinn takes the stage
"Thank you Ells, Hi everyone, Happy birthday my sweet Santana, you taught me how to dance, kiss (she laughs) but more importantly you taught me how to love, this is for you, I love you!" Santana doesn't realize she's standing up as her eyes begin to water. A familiar song starts to play. She is entranced.
"When the rain is blowing i your face" Quinn starts to sing "I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue, I'd go crawling down the avenue, no theres nothing that I wouldn't do, to make up feel my love" the song ends, there is thunderous applause. Santana meets Quinn as she exits the stage and without a single word she kissed her.
"I love you so much San" Quinn whispers as she breaks the kiss.
"I can't wait to marry you next month Quinn Fabray" Santana kisses her once more as they head towards their friends "Damn girl who knew you could sang like that!" Kurt says "it was absolutely beautiful Quinn" Rachel smiles.
"Okay enough with all the mush! Let's party!" Finn yells.
The group changes then heads to a club that puck is Dj'ing at.
They give their names to the bouncer "Yeah you guys are VIP tonight courtesy of Noah" he says as they enter the packed club.
"Damn look at this place!" Blaine says as they head to the bar. "LOPEZ!" Puck yells from across the club. He scoops up Santana and swings her around.
"Happy birthday heartbreaker!" She laughs "Thanks puck, and thank you for getting us VIP" she hugs him
"It was nothing, all drinks are on me tonight guys!" They all thank him and he heads back to the booth. "Come listen to this mix Lopez" he grabs her hand
"I'll be right back babe" she tells Quinn as she kisses her. She nods and stays with Rachel as she hands her a shot. As he starts playing the new mix the crowd erupts.
"This shit is HOT!" Santana tells him "Imma get all the girls tonight" Puck yells back "On that note I'm going back to my wife to be" She hits his shoulder and walks back.
"Santana Fucking Lopez!" She hears her name, she turns around it's the blonde from her past, Hailey.
"Hailey" She says, trying to remain calm.
"I honestly think you get hotter every year!" she laughs as she hugs her.
"Back at cha" she smiles "You don't look a day over 21" Hailey winks. Cool it Santana you're not playing this game tonight, she told herself.
"Thanks! I gotta go my fiancé is waiting for me" she says "Finally got over Quinn huh?" She smiles "Actually I got under her" Santana shoots back
"Have a good night Hailey" and with that Santana was gone. She reached her group and sees Quinn with a hand on her hip.
Santana can tell that A. She's had a few more drinks and B. She might have seen what just happened.
Instead of saying anything she walks up to Quinn and kisses her. She tastes like bourbon and beer.
"Why do you smell different?" Quinn asks Santana who ignores the comment. They make their way back to the table. Santana grabs her again and continues to kiss her, now she's straddling her, it's her birthday and they don't care who sees.
"Alright alright we get it, you're in lust...I mean loveee" Kurt smacks Santana's leg as they walk up.
"Go away Kurt" Quinn says as she keeps kissing Santana's neck. "Get a room!" Finn says
"We have a whole house, thanks!" Santana shoots back. "Hey guys!" Puck says as he walks up "So this is my Umm...friend..?"
"Hailey, puck, Hailey" she laughs as she shoved him. "I knew that!" He laughs as he begins introductions.
Santana spits her drink "Babe what the hell" Quinn says as she stands up. "Sorry...went down the wrong pipe" she apologizes and pulls Quinn back on her lap.
"You already know Santana and that's her Fian..."Lopez, Still a bottom I see" Hailey laughs, Everyone looks at Santana.
"Hailey?" Quinn says as she looks at Santana. She drank her shot and Quinn's and said "You remember my 21st birthday and more recently...and..."
"Seriously! Santana stop talking" Rachel said as she threw a napkin at her.
The group didn't know where to look. Quinn's eyes never left Santana.
"Ookkaayyyyy!" Puck said trying to break the tension "Let's go dance people!" He pulls Hailey and they head to the dance floor.
"Don't start Q, it was a long time ago" Santana tells her "The day we go out and one of your ex's doesn't show up or kiss you, I'll die of a heart attack Santana!" Quinn wasn't too mad, it was a long time ago and they were not together at the time.
"But since it's your birthday, she smiles and straddles Santana "I'll give you this one". World war 3, averted.
"Come on guys! Not again" Kurt sighs. Quinn breaks the kiss "You're dead lady Hummel" Santana says as the group returns
"A toast!" Finn says "To the lady killer herself" he laughs as Santana hits his arm "Santana Fucking Lopez!" They all cheer as they take their shots.
30 was going to be, awesome! Santana thought to herself surrounded by her love and friends.
