"Hey there she is! I forgot what you looked like."
"It's only been a couple of days Steph." Santana laughed as she put her stuff in her locker.
"How's the head?"
"I barely even know it's there to be honest."
"That's good hopefully the doc did a good job and the scar is minimal like he hoped."
"Plenty of vitamin E cream should help." Santana glanced at her reflection in the mirror with a slight alteration of hair style you couldn't even see the stitches.
"And the love of a good woman." Steph elbowed her gently and grinned.
"Yeah that too." Santana didn't even try to hide the smile that spread across her face.
"I'm happy for you San I really hope this works out."
"Thanks hon, I have to keep pinching myself that this is a reality…that I actually managed to get someone like Quinn."
"Hey give yourself more credit she is lucky also."
"Yeah but…damn everything about her is just so WOW! Her smile, her eyes, her laugh, her morning voice oh my god!...The way she hugs you, kisses you, touches you…."
"Ok I get the point you snagged the most perfect woman in the world."
"Yeah I did." Santana grinned.
"Speaking of Miss Perfect did you guys come together?"
"No she had a few errands to run but she said she would be in tonight."
"Ok cool we better get our butts moving then….. this place aint going to open itself."
"Aye aye captain." Santana saluted mockingly before following the blonde out of the room.

"So what perks do you get fucking the boss." Noah asked as he took a drag from his cigarette.
Santana had decided to use her break to get some air the only problem was that Noah had decided to join her.
"I'm not talking about this with you."
"Oh come on nearly every single one of us in this place has dreamed about tapping that and now you get to…..throw the dog a bone San."
"You are a dog and my sex life is none of your business."
"Whoa easy…..why the hostility?"
"Maybe because you are an asshole."
"I'm not."
"Every conversation we have had has involved you being a total sleaze."
"I was just trying to be funny and yeah maybe I'm a little one track minded…..but most guys are."
"Sleaze isn't funny you just look like a creep."
"Ok…normal conversation then…. I like you Lopez you are feisty and I think given the chance we could be mates."
"In your dreams pal."
"You wound me…" Puck clutched at his chest dramatically.
"Ha ha stop you dick." Santana punched his shoulder and laughed.
"Noah who did you get to cover you?" Quinn's voice interrupted their laughter.
"Umm….it was quiet so…"
"I've told you I don't want the door unattended."
"I know… I'm sorry."
"We just need to make sure we always have an idea on numbers I don't want to get an infringement notice like the green room did."
"Yeah I know I kind of got side tracked having my smoke and talking to my lezbro here."
"Oh you didn't just say that please." Santana groaned.
"I think we will become lezbro's just you wait." Puck winked at her before making his way back to the front of the bar.
"Lezbro's?" Quinn asked with a quirked brow
"He thinks we are going to be friends."
"He may seem like a tool a lot of the time but when you need him he will be the first one there."
"As long as he quits asking me about fucking you we may have a chance."
Quinn blushed slightly
"Did you want me to talk to him?"
"No I expect to get a bit of this….but discussing you and us is not something I plan on doing with 99% of the people here."
"Ha ha just Steph then."
"Ha yeah just Steph."
Quinn held her hand out and pulled Santana to her feet.
"Anyway more important things….Hey sweets I missed you."
Quinn cupped the brunette's cheek before kissing her softly.
"Mmmm I didn't think I'd be getting any of those at work." Santana smiled into a second kiss.
"You are on a break…..and you aren't technically inside the building."
"Well now that gives me all sorts of ideas…."
"It does?"
"Mmm yep I do believe we could and should christen the back seat of your car…in my break of course…and every day if need be."
"Ha ha I think I'd rather wait till we got home."
"Not one for fun and naughty times huh Q?"
"Oh baby I like fun and naughty…just not in the middle of a public street where we could get arrested."
"Well that's it then."
"That's what?"
"We will have to stick to your desk."
Santana smirked before pulling the blondes' body flush against her own.
"And don't say you don't want to blondie." She husked into Quinn's ear before placing kisses down Quinn's neck.
Quinn enjoyed the feel of Santana…her body hard against her own, her lips on her skin….there was nothing she wanted more than to drag the Latina upstairs right now and make love to her on every surface in her office. However she knew that if this was going to work she would have to learn to control those urges and keep it professional.
"San you'd better stop."
"I've still got 5 minutes left babe."
"I get that but I'm getting more and more turned on and I don't tend to carry changes of underwear around in my handbag…as much as I know you'd love for me to go commando it's not entirely appropriate is it."
"Oh god….well now I'm probably wetter than you are!"
"Ha ha sorry my love lets go inside before we get anymore carried away."
"Good idea…..oh and so is the carrying changes of underwear in your bag."
Quinn chuckled as Santana grabbed her hand and led them back inside letting go once they stepped through the door she was determined to do this right. She stopped just before they entered the bar area and kissed Quinn's hand softly.
"Ok back to work for me."
"Would you like a ride home this evening Miss Lopez."
"That would be greatly appreciated Miss Fabray."
Quinn squeezed her hand and smiled, going home at the end of night excited her more now than it had done for quite some time.

The night turned out busier than the usual Monday helped in part by a large law firm having some celebratory drinks. Steph and Santana had made loads of cocktails and opened god knows how many bottles of champagne.
"Fuck this tab is going to be huge! Have these people never heard of wine and beer?"
"It's certainly getting up there….if you are ok for a minute or two I'm just going to go and check with Q about offering them a discount."
"I could go for you!" Santana wiggled her eyebrows
"Ha! I actually want an answer sooner rather than later."
"What are you implying?"
"You know exactly what I am implying my friend."
"You don't think I can keep my hands off her do you?"
"NO….no I don't." Steph laughed before making her way towards the stairs.
Quinn heard the knock at the door and recognized it as Steph's.
"Come in."
"Hey Q just wanted to run past you the possibility of a discount for the party downstairs if that's ok?"
"Yeah of course…I trust you to make these calls yourself Steph."
"I know but when you are here I like to run it by you."
"Fair enough how much were you thinking?"
"Uhhh I was thinking 10 percent."
"How much have they spent?"
"They are over a grand."
"Ok give them 15 percent and a book of buy one get one free vouchers."
"Sounds good."
"If you go to whoever is paying the bill and let them know they will be receiving a discount and that we close in an hour and a half they will probably buy an extra round which will cover the discount anyway."
"Sly boss…"
"It's merely business."
"It's also why you are successful."
"Thanks hon….if they are getting a bit drunk down there can I suggest sending some food their way?"
The bar had cooking facilities and Quinn liked to provide snacks and Tapa's to her customers…part of the whole drink responsibly thing. The quieter nights tended to have the better food as there is more time to prepare and less people to provide for. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights would usually consist of snack platters that had been prepared before opening.
"Already on to it sent some breads and dips and some deli and vege platters out."
"Great."
"We may need some more carrots though your girlfriend wouldn't quit eating them."
"She will see well in the dark later then won't she?" Quinn grinned knowing Steph would take it in the dodgy way she intended.
"I truly think she could be blindfolded and she would still find you anywhere in the room."
"I'm sure she could." Quinn laughed making a mental note to use that for some fun activities at some point soon.

"Ugh I'm so tired…" Santana groaned as she loaded the last tray of glasses for the dishwasher.
"It happens when you've had a couple of nights off."
"Yeah…..and I can't really say I had much sleep on those nights."
"No sympathy from me then." Steph laughed.
"I wasn't asking for any."
"So straight home to bed then?"
"Yep….whether I sleep or not is another question."
"You are going to kill yourself with exhaustion…no wait sexhaustion" Steph laughed loudly at her own joke.
"Really?...that's lame…but all the same what a way to go!"
"Quinn please take it easy on her tonight Stacey needs a functioning staff member tomorrow." Santana's eyebrows shot up as she hadn't seen Quinn approaching.
"Is my lady a little tired?" Quinn teased.
"I will always have energy for you babe." Santana winked at her.
"Good to know."
"Gross can you guys take your sappy can't get enough of each other selves home please."
"I'm ready to go if you girls are finished?" Quinn added as she checked her bag for her keys and phone.
"Give me…..two ticks…" Santana pushed a few buttons on the dishwasher and pushed start.
"Ok I'm ready." She smiled at the two blondes.
"So I'll guess I will see you ladies on Thursday?"
"You will indeed, have a great couple of days off hon give Billie a kiss from me."
"From us." Santana added.
"You know she would love to see you both…..and when she finds out you are dating she will think all her dreams are coming true."
"Maybe we could pop by with some lunch on Wednesday before work?" Quinn looked between both women for agreement.
"Sounds great to me." Santana nodded.
"And me…. I guess I will see you guys on Wednesday then."
Quinn allowed them both to go ahead so she could lock up behind them.

"So why Wednesday and not tomorrow?" Santana asked quietly as they made their way to Quinn's car.
"You are tired so I thought you may like a relaxing day in bed tomorrow."
"Woman of my dreams where have you been all my life." Santana chuckled as she pulled Quinn into her side.
"I've been here waiting for you to find me."
"Thank fuck I did."
"I couldn't have said it better myself." Quinn grinned as she opened Santana's door for her.
"Still so chivalrous even after getting me into bed and making me fall in love with you huh?" Santana pecked her cheek as she slid into the seat.
"Someone like you deserves this all the time San…It's not something that is going to stop simply because you have let me into your heart and your bed."
Quinn shut the door and Santana did her upmost to keep her emotions in check before Quinn sat beside her, it didn't really work.
"Hey are you ok?" Quinn asked concerned when she saw noted Santana's deep swallowing and glassy eyes.
"I'm good….really good." Santana smiled and squeezed Quinn's hand.
"Promise?"
"I swear to everything holy."
"So this…." Quinn wiped the lone tear that had managed to begin its escape path down Santana's cheek.
"This is a good tear?" Quinn asked still slightly concerned.
"That is a you make me fall more in love with you every time I'm with you tear…..It's a happy tear."
"Oh…..I think I'm ok with that tear then."
Quinn leant across the car and brought the Latinas lips to her own in a soft lingering kiss.
"They are the only type of tears I ever want to see coming out of those beautiful eyes ok?"
"Mmmmm." Is all Santana could moan as her lips were once again captured by Quinn's.

"Mmmm shall we take this to the bedroom?" Santana queried seductively in Quinn's ear as the blonde sucked on her pulse point.
"You realize making out doesn't always have to lead to sex don't you?"
"You saying you don't want to follow me in to that bedroom and let me make mad passionate love to you?"
"I…..uh…." Quinn stuttered of course that's what she wanted but Santana did look exhausted and she figured staying up for hours having sex wouldn't help the situation.
"Cat got your tongue?"
"No, you are just really tired so why don't we go get some sleep and take this up again in the morning?"
"I have the sex drive of a teenage guy Q I think I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
"No I'm sorry I guess I just have to get used to whole young fire cracker between the sheets thing." She winked at the darker girl.
"The day you get used to sex between the sheets with me blondie is the day we break up." Santana grinned at her as she stood and held out her hand for Quinn to take so she could pull her up from her laying position on the sofa.
"Better not keep it only between the sheets then." Quinn laughed as she tugged Santana's arm so the brunette fell back on top of her.
"I like what you are thinking…. less sex between the sheets more sex on the sofa?"
"Yep and the shower." Quinn added before running her tongue down Santana's neck.
"And in the kitchen." Santana pulled her top over her head revealing a red lacy bra she knew Quinn would love.
"You got it and as much as I'd like to continue this list and admire you in what has just become my new favorite piece of lingerie…I think I much prefer you naked and moaning so how about we work on that?" Quinn sat up slightly and expertly unhooked Santana's bra with one hand whilst trailing her other hand down a very toned stomach.
"You know what?" Santana shuddered as her nipple was circled by a warm wet tongue.
"What baby?" Quinn answered before moving to the other side.
"Totally not tired anymore." She raised a seductive eyebrow as she began to undo her jeans.
Quinn bit her lip as the girl above her revealed more flesh with each passing second. Sleep was not something that was going to happening any time soon that was sure.
