Brett phone buzzed with a new message. He put the papers down and looked at his phone. Tina had sent him a video. He clicked it and watched as he smiled. Santana and Mercedes were singing River deep, Mountain high. He knew Mercedes was good that's why he had her signed. But Santana was just a subbing assistant. She had such a powerful voice that deserved to be noticed. He knew what he had to do, but first some calls needed to be made.
"Hello this is Brett Pierce." Brett said into the phone.
"That was amazing." Tina says as her and Santana walk back to the office. She can see Brett though his glass windows. He has a pair of superman glasses on and it makes her smile. His blonde hair looks messed up and his tie hangs low on his neck. He looks stressed. And Santana wants to find out why.
"Yeah it was awesome. Excuse me." Santana said as she walks Brett's office. Brett's blue eyes shoot up to wear the door opens. A small smile seems to grace his lips at the sight of her.
"What's wrong?" Santana asks and the smile falls as his thoughts are muddle again.
"It's nothing." He grumbles and falls back into his chair. Leaning his head back and running his hands through his honey blonde hair.
"I'm your assistant. That means I'm meant to help you. So tell me what's wrong." She commends. He exhales a long breath.
"And what if it's not work related can you still help." He says and she raise an eyebrow at him, but nods.
"Okay. It's about Marley, were getting married soon and..." Santana face forms a frown.
"Something feels off about her lately." He says and once again his hands are in his hair.
"May I ask what seems to be the problem, she can't find the right flowers?" Santana asks sarcastically.
"See that's the point she not even looking for them. And whenever I get home she never there, and when she is she sleeps on the other side of the bed." He grumbles. Santana can't believe it. If she was this girl she would always be close to him.
"I feel like we're growing apart and this is supposed to be the time were closest." He grunts and stands from his chair and walks to look out the window.
"Could there be a reason why she going further apart like I don't know another man." She says and Brett shoulders tense. Santana sees this and walks over to massage his shoulders. She can feel his strong muscles though his suit.
"That never seemed to cross my mind. But there is one thing that has." He says and his muscles seem to relax under her hands.
"What is that?" She ask enjoying the feeling of his muscle.
"Another women." He says quietly and Santana's hands stop moving.
"Why did you stop?" He says and Santana hands start to move slowly.
"W-what did you just say?" Santana asks hoping she had heard him right.
"I said another woman has crossed my mind." Santana eyes widen and her heartbeat quickens.
"Who?" She asks and soon feels silly for asking.
"Is that question rhetorical." He says and Santana mouth dries.
"No I need to hear you say it." She says and Brett turns around. Her hands still on his shoulders.
"You. You are the girl that has crossed my mind. Even when my fiancé called, my mind was on you. And I don't really think it's healthy. Do you?" He says his voice low and husky. She shakes her head. He so close and he has the upper hand.
"We should stop for now and pick it up later when the important stuff is complete. Do you agree?" He says leaning into her ear. Her eyes flutter closed at the feeling of the breath on her skin.
"I'm gonna need a vocal confirmation. Let me hear your gorgeous voice of yours."
"Yes." She says her voice breathy. He pulls away and she can see the smirk on his face.
"I should go to my office o-or I m-mean Quinn's office just call. And I answer and yeah." She says stumbling over her words. As she walks to Quinn's office she still can't figure out how talking about Brett's failing relationship turn into a flirt fest. One thing she knows is she is very wet and aching in all the worst ways because of that man. Her phone rings in her pocket she reaches into her pocket and she sees the caller ID is Quinn.
"Hey Quinn." Santana said sitting in her chair. She hears Rachel in the background.
"Hey how's work?" Quinn says her voice hoarse. Santana thinks how she going to respond. 'I have the hots for your boss and I'm pretty sure he feels the same.' No that won't do. How about 'Brett and I made out for a few minutes in his office before you called him.' No.
"Fine, nothing exciting besides going out for lunch." Santana lies. Aa Quinn coughs and groans.
"Where did you go?" Quinn asks. Santana hears Rachel call for Quinn.
"Are you hiding from Rachel?" Santana asks.
"Maybe. But I asked my question first." Quinn says, Santana rolls her eyes.
"We went to April's Cafe." Santana says as she hears Rachel call get louder and closer.
"Why you hiding from her?" Santana questions.
"Who said I was hiding, I'm just not around her right at this moment." Quinn points out her voice slightly lower. Santana laughed. Quinn was so pathetic.
"Cause you just started to whisper into the phone. And I know how you are when you're sick, you think you have so much pride that if she even hands you a tissue you'll refuse it and get one by yourself." Quinn scoffs at her comment.
"It's better then you Miss. Serve on my hand on foot." Quinn comments and sneezes.
"Bless you, and she will find you our apartment is not that big." Santana says as she hears the door open. She can hear Rachel talking to Quinn.
"Santana, Quinn says bye. And we'll be seeing you soon for Kurt and Blaine's dinner." Rachel says into the phone. Santana laughs and says bye. She looks around and shifts in her chair. She sees a girl walk in. She stands at about 5'8" and has long brown hair that curls as it falls. She wear a some skinny jeans and a simple green top. And she walks right into Brett's office. Santana stands and follows the girl. She sees her leaning on his desk talking as Brett continues to read over some papers. She talks and he nods.
"Hey Brett." Santana says as she walks him he looks up at her and smiles. The girl turns a confused look on her face. But is quickly replaced by a smile.
"Well I have never meet you." She says as she turns and holds out her hand.
"Marley Rose." She says and Santana takes her hand.
"Santana Lopez." She says as Marley smiles and leans against his desk. Marley opens her mouth to say something.
"She's is Quinn replacement while Quinn is out sick." Brett says. And Marley nods.
"Quinn's sick, maybe I should stop by and give her some soup." Marley says as she play with the ring on her finger. Santana watches her as she slides it up and down her finger.
"Rachel made her stay home today. And I subbed in for her the only way to get her to stay." Santana said and Marley smiled that damn smile.
"You are such a good friend and you are really pretty too. Right Brett?" Marley asks her fiance who was deep in his papers. But he looks up at her and smiles.
"Yea she perfect." He says and Marley nods her head.
"Brett I was wondering if I could go home, Kurt and Blaine got engaged and there a big dinner." Santana said and Brett nod his head. Marley gave her a thumbs up. Santana went to Quinn's office. She watched as Marley walked out and she sighed and headed for the elevator so didn't have to ride with the girl who was living her dream. As the elevator binging she stepped out and saw it. Kitty was whispering in Marley's ear and she was giggling. It looked like two girls telling each other secrets. But what happened next made her change her mind about those secrets. Marley leaned over and caught the blonde's lips and the blonde smiled into the kiss. Maley pulled away and Kitty smirked at Marley's face. The brunette turned to walk away and Kitty went back to the desk. Okay so maybe Marley wasn't living her dream.
