CHAPTER 4
Santana touches her lips as she tries to erase what happened in her mind. She remembers falling down from the bench but it all became a blur. But she remembered pressing her lips to someone and she didn't know who was that someone.
Maybe it was just a dream? It must be a dream right?
Then she kneels on the bench of their terrace, her hands joined in front of her chest.
She said, "This is just a dream. Yup, it was all a dream." Santana said, convincing herself. With her eyes closed, she continues, "And when I wake up, I'm still in the convent. As soon as I wake up, I'm going to attend the early mass and pray." then she smiles while her eyes still closed, "Ah, I can now hear the bells of the chapel." then she sways her head, "Everything is fine now. Everything is just fine."
"Is everything really fine?" a voice asks, which Santana answers nevertheless.
"Yeah. So fine." she said, still smiling with her eyes closed.
"Even your lips?" the voice said again.
"My lips?" Santana asks, widening her eyes.
And then she opens her eyes and met by LIPS… A very wet lips, with remnants of orange pulps. Santana's eyes darted towards the intruder's lips, which she realized the owner of those lips is Sugar!
Sugar is eyeing her up and down while biting the orange fruit in her hand.
Then Sugar leans into Santana. "If you remember the lips, what exactly is fine about that?" she said, raising her voice at Santana.
Santana looks at Sugar's lips again while she is talking to her.
Sugar narrows her eyes, "You have some nerve!"
Santana swallows hard, then whispers, "Then… those lips? are the lips…?" Santana shakes her head and look away from Sugar, "I don't remember! I don't know what are you talking about!" she said in a firm tone.
"Huh? Liar! You know what I'm talking about!" Sugar hisses at her. Then she cups Santana's chin in very rough way. "Look you bastard! You will never get away with this! Tell me the truth! You remembered right? You remembered?" she said, holding a grip on Santana's chin.
"Let me go!" Santana said.
"Where are you putting those lips, huh? Are you like a pervert or something? I'm telling you, if you act the way you acted yesterday, I swear you're gonna be dead, Santino Lopez!" Sugar said through clench teeth while holding Santana's chin roughly. "You can't do something like that! Ever again! Do you understand me?!"
Santana nods her head, "I'm sorry." she said.
"If you're sorry, go apologize!" Sugar said releasing her grip from Santana.
"Huh? Go apologize?" Santana said, her eyebrows furrows.
"You say you're sorry right? Go apologize to Blondie." Sugar answers, shrugging her shoulders while biting the fruit she's holding.
"Then it wasn't you?" Santana asks.
Sugar narrows her eyes once again, "If it was me, you wouldn't be here coz I'm going to throw you out of the house in an instant!" then she bite her orange once again in unlady-like way. "Hurry up and apologize!" she yells again before walking out on her.
Sugar stops after a while and whispers to herself, "That guy even feels weird." she said as she looks at her hand, "How is his face so smooth?" then she shake her thoughts. Sugar Motta isn't going to be attracted to a guy, never in her life.
Santana fall into deep thoughts when Sugar leaves, "If she wasn't the one, then who is it?"
Quinn is busy preparing her coffee. She likes to drink coffee, one of her weaknesses actually. So she make sure that every morning, she'll have a dose of her favorite coffee.
She heard footsteps coming from behind her. She smiles before speaking. "Come and sit with me San."
Santana was surprised on how Quinn knew she was there.
Quinn is completely aware that Santana is thoroughly looking at her, she can't help but to feel butterflies in her stomach. She tried to hide her smile by a fake cough, "Your stomach will feel slightly better if you drink this." She purposely prepares two cup of coffee. One for her, one for Santana.
Slowly, Santana walk towards her. If she will apologize to her, this is the perfect timing.
Santana is about to speak when Quinn beat her out of it, "Last night…"
Santana swallows hard.
"Was extreme." Quinn continues.
Santana is positive that she accidentally kissed the 'blondie' which is Quinn last night base on Quinn's words.
"It was so incredibly inappropriate." Quinn said as she place down her coffee and run her fingers to her lips to wipe the smudge.
Santana observes Quinn's actions and she was so embarrassed. She closes her eyes for a second, "So, it was really you…" she said as she lowers her head. "I'm sorry. I went up there because my head was hurting. I felt better for awhile. But then…"
Quinn interrupts her, "But then…? You fell in an unfortunate place."
"Yes. However for me, it was like fainting and falling down on the bare floor." Santana reasons out.
"Bare floor?" Quinn asks, her eyes wide.
Santana shakes her head, "Well.. uhm, I'm not saying that you are a bare floor. What I'm trying to say is… think of it as a rock that fallen from the sky…" Santana said but then she surrenders. "I'm really really sorry." she said, lowering her head down again.
"Really?" Quinn smiles at her.
Then Sugar enters the kitchen and raise her voice on Santana, "Hey! I told you to go and apologize and you're calmly sitting here drinking coffee!" she said, stomping her foot.
"I am apologizing." Santana whispers at her in a not so low voice.
"It's not Quinn!" Sugar exclaims.
Santana look at Quinn, "It's not you?"
Quinn looks at her, "It's Brittany." she said that made Santana's eyes wide like saucers. "It's like this. The person who was hit by a falling rock from the sky called San and who fainted, was Brittany S. Pierce." she said.
Santana swallows hard as Quinn said that to her. "Fainted?" she repeats trying to clear the word that slip out of Quinn's mouth.
FLASHBACK
Santana lost her balance and started to fall, the three A N JELL came to her rescue. But there's only one who catches her first. It's Brittany.
Her lips landed on Brittany, head butting her.
Their lips pressed against each other as she knocked Brittany on the ground.
Brittany's eyes widen in realization as she felt lips pressed against her own.
Quinn and Sugar's eyes widen when they heard Santana's sound like she was vomiting.
They froze as they saw her vomit all over Brittany's cheek and the corner of the blonde's lips.
"Fuck!" Sugar cursed under her breath.
"Oh my god!" Quinn said, her eyes widening.
Sugar came to Brittany's rescue. She shoved Santana away from Brittany.
Brittany fainted.
"Brittany is the ultimate clean freak." Quinn continues, "So having suffered in such a way, she fainted."
Sugar crosses her arms, "It was gross!"
"Gross?" Santana's jaw drops.
"If you want to go apologize, you should go directly to Brittany's room." Quinn said. "Though I don't know if she will accept it." she adds.
Santana bit her lip, as she was about to cry.
Brittany looks at herself in the mirror as she wraps her body with her towel. She stares at her lips and memories of last night floods on her mind. She shivers as she remembers him pressing his lips against hers. The evidence of that gross kiss was here, the bruise at the corner of her lips.
She shivers as she remembers the additional vomit she suffered last night.
Oh, she hated this new member!
She brushes her teeth again for like a million times this morning, she scrubs the right side of her cheek but she can't be satisfied and all.
After she finished brushing her lips and teeth, she decides to come out of her bathroom.
Santana knocks the door for the tenth time but got no respond so she decides to come inside Brittany's room.
Santana opens the door.
"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Brittany yells at her, she was surprised so being her clumsy self, she slides, her legs give in and her back lay flat on the floor. Her butt hurts.
"What the fuck are you doing here?!" Brittany repeats as she walk towards Santana.
Santana blinks multiple times and her cheeks reddens as her eyes travels from Brittany's feet, then her bare long legs, and she swallows hard as she had a glance on Brittany's inner thighs. Brittany is standing beside her head as she towers over her. She bites her lip so hard and squeezes her eyes shut. "I'm just here to apologize for what happened last night." she said, still lying on the floor.
"You are such a pervert!" Brittany screams while she pull Santana up on the floor, grabbing her right hand.
Santana lost balance again and accidentally she pulls the towel from Brittany.
The towel fell down and Brittany stood there, frozen. Her hand grabbing Santana's wrist.
Santana can't help but to travel her eyes on Brittany's naked body. Well except for those lacy bikini the blonde wears.
Shock is an understatement of what she feels right now.
Wide eyed, she stares at Brittany's half-naked form and her jaw drops.
The blonde is sexy like a goddess.
She had a glance on Brittany's pink nipples before the blonde crosses her arms and hides them with her arms.
Santana is sure that her cheeks turn into red tomato, good for her because of her ethnic background. But still, she can feel her cheeks burning as she replayed the blonde's body in her mind. Now that was weird.
"I'm s-sorry… I d-didn't mean to…" Santana stutters as she felt Brittany's death glare.
"I'm so not gonna forgive you for this!" Brittany hisses at her as she picks up her towel from the ground and wraps it around her. "Now leave!"
Santana refuses to leave, she can't leave until Brittany forgives her. "Please forgive me?" she said, giving her best puppy dog eyes and smile.
Brittany narrows her eyes, her teeth clenches. "Why would I forgive you?"
"Because… you're a good person?" Santana said.
Brittany walks towards her, "When I hate someone from the first impression, I always continue to hate them." the blonde said, without emotion. "Because the people I hate continue to do things that I hate. I hated you since the moment I saw you and predictably, you did something I hated the most. I'm sure that you'll continue to do things that I hate and that I'll continue to hate you! So if it's forgiveness you're asking for, It'll never happen. Not now, not later. Not ever! So get the hell out of my room!" then she adds again with clench teeth, "You disgusting smelly barf…man!" then she goest straight to her bathroom and shuts the door.
Brittany exhales a deep breath, "That's why he should have waited until I washed up and clear my head!" she said to herself.
Santana stood frozen, Brittany really hated her. She felt so bad. It's the first time someone told her they hated her. And Santana feels so bad.
Brittany opens her bathroom door and she sees him, still standing inside her room. "What the fuck are you still doing here?" she said, walking towards her and Santana backs out.
The blonde walks forward while the brunette steps backward until she hits the wall.
Brittany towers over her and she lowers herself down.
Their eyes locked with Brittany standing up. She grabs him on his shoulders, motioning her to stand up.
Now they are standing against each other with eyes locked. Brittany narrows her eyes while Santana was the one who pulls from their gazes.
Santana lowers herself down trying to escape.
"Don't!" Brittany said.
Santana follows.
"Now, why are you again in my room?" the blonde snaps.
"To ask for forgiveness?" Santana answers slowly.
"You ask for forgiveness like this?" the blonde asks.
"I'm so sorry…" Santana lowers her head.
"So now, I should forgive you because you just say sorry to me?" Brittany yells at her as she punches the wall, but the force that she puts in it, hits the picture frame and it went down right straight to Santana's head.
Santana faints.
Brittany's eyes become wide as she wakes Santana, "Hey, are you okay? Hey!"
Then her bedroom door opens, Quinn, Sugar and William come rushing in.
"What did you do?" William asks, his eyes wide as he leans into Santana.
Quinn and Sugar also leans forward.
"What did you do to San?" Quinn asks as she touches Santana's cheek, waking her up.
"I didn't do anything." Brittany said, her eyes full of guilt.
"There's blood!" Quinn exclaims.
William insisted that the A N JELL remained inside the house while he rushed Santana to the hospital. The thing is, they can't know about Santana's secret so even though the three insisted on coming with them.
William observes Santana's fainted body inside the ambulance. "Please be gentle." he said to the staff treating Santana's wounds on her head.
Santana opens her eyes for a while, and William jumps into his seat, "Santana, are you awake?"
"My head hurts." Santana said softly.
"How did you two end up fighting?" William asks, his eyes filled with concern.
Santana shakes her head. "Didn't…"
"Then did she hits you?" William asks.
"No." she said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
William takes a deep breath. "Brittany will be reprimanded."
"No… she didn't do anything." Santana insists with a weak voice.
"Just stay still. We're almost at the hospital." he said.
Santana's eyes widen, "Hospital?"
"Of course we need to go to the hospital, we need a complete check up from top to bottom to see if you're okay."
Santana whispers as she motions William to lean into her which the latter follows, "Then they will soon find out that I'm a girl." she said and William's eyes widens.
"Oh." William said, as reality came in. "Excuse me! Please stop!" he yells after a while.
They stay in one of the park while William takes care of Santana's wounds.
"It seems fine now. You can't see the blood anymore." Santana said as she looks at her wound on the mirror.
"Put this in your head and eat it when it melts." William said, handling her an ice cream.
Santana complies. "Thank you."
"I told boss Sue that we are in the hospital and we are in an emergency situation. I just can't let Brittany get away with this."
"But I didn't get hit by Brittany." Santana reasons out.
"You aren't even an official nun yet so you can't go around forgiving sins and all." William said.
"Mr. Manager, you have to trust me with this." she said.
But William ignores her, "The person that I don't trust is calling right now." he said then picks up his phone. "Hello Brittany, what do you want?" then he pauses, "Right now? Santa-Santino is in the emergency room receiving treatment."
"Put him on."
"What? Why? Are you going to say sorry?" William asks.
"Put him on."
"O- okay." William complies unwillingly as he handed Santana his phone. "She wants to talk to you."
"Hello?" Santana said.
"Are you still in the hospital?" Brittany asks. She's currently inside the hospital looking for him. She wears a pair of big sunglasses and a cap to hide her blonde hair as she can't be recognize to avoid any attention.
"Ah… yes." Santana answers.
"They're treating you with…?" Brittany asks.
"I'm receiving an ice pack." Santana answers, feeling a little guilty for lying again to her. "By any chance, are you calling because you are worried about me?"
Brittany stops walking as she sinks in his words. "Worried?"
Santana immediately answers, "If that's the case, I'm fine."
"Ah. Nothing like that." Brittany swallows hard, "I just want to tell you that you should explain to Sue what really happened. That I didn't hit you or anything of that sort. It was an accident."
Santana nods her head, "That's fine. I will surely explain everything to her."
"But where are you?" Brittany asks.
A nurse called Brittany and reprimanded her for using phone inside the emergency room. "I'm sorry but cellphones are not allowed in the emergency room."
Brittany looks at the nurse and apologize.
"Wait a minute. If you're inside the emergency room, how come you can use your phone?"
"Huh?" Santana widen her eyes.
Brittany smirks, "You are really not inside the emergency room, aren't you?"
"I… I am." Santana stutters.
"Where are you?" Brittany asks, her eyes narrowing.
Then she heard a loud sound of car's honking.
Santana stood there motionless as William snatches his phone, made a stuttering sound, and turn it off.
"We're busted." Santana said after a while.
"Well, let's just say the phone disconnected. It's not that big of a deal."
Brittany stares at her phone. "It was a lie, huh?" she smirks and her eyes became cold again.
"You just have to explain that Brittany didn't do anything, that's what she wants right?" William said as they enter the recording studio.
"Yeah. Of course, I'll tell them what really happened." Santana answers, rubbing her head.
But as soon as they enter, a reporter came in. "I'm a writer from Ok! Magazine, Artie Abrams. I just want to have an interview with Santino Lopez."
"Not right now." William said, hiding Santana on his back.
"I insist. Don't you want to give your side of the story? Did you see the uploaded videos from the internet? It shows that Brittany and Santino had a misunderstanding resulting to them passing out. What happened? Are you two not in good terms?" Artie continuously asks. "Did something happened?"
Santana shakes her head.
Then Artie notices the bandage in Santana's head. "Oh, what is that? Did Brittany did that to you? How about her? You hit her too?" he shows her camera and flashes it towards her.
William pulls Santana away from the reporter.
Then the reporter's eyes went past Santana as he sees Brittany coming inside. "Oh, there is she. She hits you, didn't she?" Artie said, smiling widely as he realize what a big scoop this is.
"Brittany didn't hit me!" Santana insists.
Brittany's eyes gives the three of them a death glare as she walks past them.
"I'll be sure to report that." Artie said, smiling.
HEADLINE:
THE NEW MEMBER OF A N JELL 'SANTINO LOPEZ' AND ORIGINAL MEMBER 'BRITTANY S. PIERCE' SEEMS LIKE DON'T GET ALONG THAT WELL.
WITNESSES SAID THAT THE TWO HAD A FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER AFTER THE PARTY.
AN INJURED SANTINO DENIED ALL OF THE RUMORS SAYING, "BRITTANY DIDN'T HIT ME!"
WELL, HE CAN DENY ALL HE WANTS, BECAUSE IT MAY NOT BE MANLY ENOUGH FOR HIM TO BE HIT BY A GIRL. THAT SURE EXPLAINED HIS DENIAL.
As fast as the Headline reaches the newspaper and television, A N JELL fans are all over the building.
GO SANTINO! LEAVE A N JELL!
WE HATE YOU!
WE DON'T WANT YOU!
REMOVE SANTINO! KICK HIM OUT!
LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!
William and Santana stays at the top of the roof as they look over the angry A N JELL fans.
Sue was not in her office so they don't know what to do with the angry fans.
"They really hate me." Santana said softly, sadness evident in her voice.
William looks at his iPad as he reads the several articles about Santana.
"Twiiter's most trending topic: #RemoveSantino." he starts.
"Headlines: Brittany and Santino fights."
"Third: Kick out Santino."
"Fourth: He's beautiful." William said, then looks at Santana, "He's Beautiful? Beautiful? Really? Why beautiful? It should be handsome right?"
Santana ignores her as she bit her nails. "I should go down and explain my side."
But William caught her wrist. "You can't go down there. Look, I'll show you why." he said then throws his jacket down then yells, "It's Santino!"
Then they observes what fans did to the poor jacket. They stomp on it and rips it apart.
And that made Santana gulps nervously.
Santana sighs as she steps out of the car. William bid her goodbye.
She walks slowly towards the house but was met by a large dog.
"Jolie! Get him!" Sugar screams.
And the dog tackles and licks her to the ground.
"Stop! Stop!" she screams as she avoids Jolie's attack.
Sugar smiles, "Jolie. Stop!"
The dog stops.
Sugar walk towards her, "That's for hurting Brittany. First, you head-butt her, then now you want to ruin her reputation?"
"I didn't do anything." Santana said as she sits up.
Sugar leans into her, "I'll get you the same way you hurt Brittany." then calls on her dog again, "Jolie attack!"
The dog attack her again, licking her and knocking her towards the ground.
"Lick him! Right there! Good job!" Sugar yells, laughing hard.
Santana finally stands up and escape but Sugar hugs her from behind. "Let go of me! Let go of me!" she said as she struggle hard. Her eyes wide as Sugar's hands wrap in her chest. "Please let go of me!" and then finally she escaped.
Sugar was left wondering, "Geez. I was just joking around. He's so weird. Why is he screaming like I'm going to rape him? After all, he's the one who jumped on Brittany." she said as she looks at her hand again. "Why is his skin so damn soft?"
Santana runs into Quinn as she walk towards the house. She stops in her tracks. "I'm sorry." she said.
Quinn smiles, "I'm glad you're okay." then she leans forward, "Does it still hurt?" she said as she tries to caress Santana's forehead but Santana moves away, avoiding her hand. The blonde smiles knowingly, "If you react like that, everyone will figure everything out." she said softly.
"Huh?" Santana asks with eyes widening. Does Quinn knows that she's a girl?
"See. You're doing it again." Quinn said.
Santana swallows hard.
Quinn continues, "I'm just saying that it's obvious when you're scared or frightened. It's enough for people to think that Brittany really hits you. After all, you're the guy."
Santana exhales a deep breath. "Ah. That's what you meant." she said, smiling.
"What do you think I'm referring to?" Quinn asks, pushing the issue.
Santana shakes her head, "Oh, nothing."
Quinn winks at her then leaves.
Inside her room, Santana decide to watch the news about her and Brittany. And even the angry fans expressed their hatred for her.
She ruined her twin brother's reputation. She just wants to leave this place but she can't. She has to fix things with Brittany before her brother comes. She has to.
The door of her room opens and Brittany, without a word, comes in and grabs her wrist.
"Brittany! Where are we going?" Santana asks as she follows Brittany down the stairs.
Brittany firmly grabs her wrist.
She pushes Santana in front of Sue Sylvester once they reach downstairs.
"Hey, what's going on?" Sue asks. William at her side.
"Kick him out of here." She said coldly as she points at Santana on her side.
Sue shakes her head, "Are you trying to add fire to the scandal?"
"Then I won't stay here." she said firmly.
Sugar cuts in, "Hey! Why are you leaving?"
Sue ignores Sugar, "Brittany! Don't act like this, okay?"
Brittany ignores her and walked out.
"Both had a rough start. It's better if they stay away from each other for a while." Quinn comments.
Santana pouts her lips, she nearly wants to cry but she can't. She follows Brittany outside the house.
"Brittany!" she calls.
Brittany stops and look at her. "I was right. I said you were going to continue things that bothered me. But you should stop now. Coz if you don't, I might as well hit you even if you're a guy. You're short anyways."
Then Brittany steps inside her car and starts the engine.
Santana tries to control her emotions to stop herself from crying.
She sits in the porch and hugs her knees in front of her.
She really feels sad.
"Santana, stay strong." William said as he touch her shoulder.
"I don't think I can handle this anymore. It's only been one day, but I'm tired as if an entire year had passed." she said, sighing.
"Don't be like that. You survived your first day, you can survive the succeeding days." William said.
"But Brittany left because of me." she said softly. "I continue to do things that she hated."
"Actually, about that. You see, if you two become close, you have a higher chance to be found out." William tries to reason out.
"Do you really believe that I can spend my days safely here?" she asks William.
"I'm positively sure about that," William said. "For your brother, Santino." he adds. "But hey, look at the bright side. Santino Lopez is a trending topic now in all kinds of media. The whole world knows you now."
Santana sighs, "Yeah. By being the biggest liar of all." she said.
William shut his mouth as he looks at Santana's defeated face.
Brittany walks inside the elevator of the five-star hotel she's going to stay. "Yes Sue. I won't turn off my phone. yeah. Yeah. I know." then she hung up.
Before the elevator closes, a woman steps inside with her.
She knows this woman. Their eyes meet and all the oxygen in Brittany's body falls down.
"It's been a while." the woman said. "Seeing and hearing that you've been abroad multiple times, I guess you've become quite famous."
Brittany responds coldly, "Seeing that I don't hear about you even here in Los Angeles, it seems that Susan Pierce had faded quite a bit."
"Susan Pierce?" Susan laughs. "But when you were young, you used to call me 'mother'?"
"I didn't know better then. I thought that if someone gave birth to me, that she was my mother. But I was wrong. A mother doesn't abandoned her child for fame."
The elevator opens and Brittany steps outside.
"Britt…"
Brittany stops, "Don't act like you know me. When I was younger I had no choice but to act like I knew you because you were famous. But now that I'm famous, it will not do good in my reputation. It's enough that we share the same surname, they don't have to know that we even shared blood. Because blood is just the only thing that links me to you, Susan." she said then walk away leaving a stunned Susan Pierce inside the elevator.
"I want Santino Lopez to be ready before the MTV Music Festival. That will be his first performance." Sue said.
William's jaw drops, "Wait, I thought his debut will be the launching of A N JELL's 6th album?"
Holly interrupts, "And I haven't finish deciding his style yet."
"No no no no. Listen to me. We need to crash the scandals first. And performing in MTV live with the other members will surely put out the fire. Do you get me?" Sue said in an authoritative voice.
William nods his head in defeat.
"Besides, I saw Santino's skills. He's good." Sue continues. "Anyway, William, you have to prepare Santino for photoshoots. And take him to dance rehearsals too."
Oh boy. William thought to himself as Holly kicks his shoe.
The next day William and Holly goes to fetch Santana for her new schedule.
"Wait! What's with all this stage preparations and photoshoot? I thought that's my brother's job after a month?" she said as she tries to pull her hand away from Holly.
William makes a gesture to shut her mouth. "Shhh. The current situation has become necessary for this." he said quietly, afraid that Quinn and Sugar might hear them.
"I can't do it. I'm not going to do it." she said firmly.
Holly hits William in his head, "You bastard! Why start it if you can't finish it." she said directing to William, "She said she can't do it! Now you want to be found out, huh?" Holly punches William straight to his stomach. "You are the source of this!" she continues on hitting William.
Santana stops her, "Don't hit him, please. I'll do it." she said.
Holly smiles widely, "Okay good. Now let's go." she said as she pulls Santana's hand.
Little did they know, Quinn heard their conversation from the terrace. She smiles.
"Hey!" Sugar calls. "What are you doing there?"
Quinn smirks, "Nothing. I'm just watching something interesting."
"Interesting?" Sugar looks down, all she can see is William's car. Nothing interesting.
"You have to find it out for yourself." Quinn said, then sips her coffee. "But knowing you? You may have a hard time discovering it." she said then steps inside the house.
"Hey, what is that all about?" Sugar calls, following Quinn inside. "Let me know what it is. I really want to know!"
Quinn just ignores her and sits on the couch. She turns on the TV.
"Ah! Is it about Santino?" Sugar said, sitting beside Quinn.
Quinn looks at her.
"He's really strange, you know." Sugar said, watching TV now.
"How?"
"Well, he cried after Brittany left yesterday." Sugar reveals.
"He cried?" Quinn's eyes were like saucers now.
"Yeah. He was whimpering as he went upstairs." Sugar said, crossing her arms. "He's not even a girl! I think he might be gay?" she said.
Quinn exhales a deep breath as she continues to focus on watching TV.
"He's really strange. For a boy, he's so short. And his skin feels… soft and too smooth you know." then she teases Quinn, "Do you like him? I notice you're so nice to him. Is Quinn Fabray going straight for Santino Lopez?"
Quinn huffed. She drinks his coffee once again as she ignores Sugar's teasing.
"You even took care of her the night after the party, right." Sugar said.
And that brings Quinn's memories of that night.
Sugar carried Brittany on her shoulders as Quinn carried Santino.
"Go to the car first with Brittany so people won't notice." she ordered Sugar.
Sugar nod her head as she wrapped her hands on Brittany's hips. "Oh god, she smells awful!" Sugar comments as she can smell Santino's vomit on Brittany's cheeks even if she wiped it already.
"Just go!" Quinn said.
Sugar follows.
"Hey! San! Wake up!" Quinn said to Santino whose left arm was wrapped around her shoulder. She shook Santino with her body and that move made Santino's head fall back.
And like that, like a slow motion, Quinn was captivated by Santino's neck… and lips. It looks soft not like any other guys. Her eyes wide as she observed Santino's features. She moved Santino to catch his head but the movements made Santino leaned into her.
And just like that, Santino's arms are now wrapped around her body. She tried to stop it but she froze.
And then she felt it against her body. Like really felt 'them' against her body.
Santana's binder loosen because of the fall and half of her boobs were suddenly free.
So that's what Quinn felt.
Santino is obviously thin to have man boobs right?
And her heart beats out of her chest as she realized something.
She has to make sure. So she opened one button from Santino's polo shirt to take a look. And there it is… cleavage. Real.
Her eyes wide open as she confirmed it. Santino is obviously a girl!
Sugar cuts her reverie, "Don't worry Q, if you really like the guy, I won't stop you."
Quinn smiles, "I'm simply going to enjoy this for the moment." she said, referring to the fact that she's the only one who discovered Santino's secret. Now she just needs to know what her real name.
"Huh, What?" Sugar asks.
"Just enjoy watching TV, Sug. Don't think of anything else." Quinn said as she sips her coffee one more time. Her smile never fades.
