It was later that evening when Quinn and Santana's kissing session on the couch was harshly interrupted by the sound of the blondes' cell ringing. Quinn sighed as she pulled away from Latina to answer.
"Hey Steph what's up?"
"Hey Q so um you know how you figured we may get a busy tomorrow night."
"Yeah hon."
"We are already at capacity down here now."
"What are you serious?" Quinn glanced at the clock on the wall it was only 8pm and a Wednesday.
"Are you able to come in?"
"Yeah of course! I'll be in shortly."
"Cool thanks can you ask San as well?"
"Will do! Do you need anything else?"
"We could probably use some extra bags of peanuts or something…..I didn't book the store delivery till tomorrow."
"Ok no problem we will be there soon."
Quinn hung up the phone and turned to Santana.
"I'll go change shall I?" She smiled before Quinn even had to open her mouth.
"You're my hero baby."
"Yeah yeah." Santana chuckled as she made her way into the bedroom.
"Do you have an extra work shirt I can borrow too?" Quinn called out to her as she zipped up her boots.
"Luckily for you I did the laundry." Santana threw a shirt her way before pulling her hair up into a bun, her shirt was unbuttoned and Quinn lost herself for a moment admiring the flexing muscles of her stomach.
"I thought we were in a hurry babe?" Santana was looking at her now and laughed at the look on her girlfriends face when she realized she had been caught blatantly checking her out.
"We are…..you are just so fucking sexy I get side tracked every now and again."
"Ha ha come on beautiful lets go and rescue your team."

"Oh thank god I just put the last of the food out." Steph breathed a sigh of relief when Santana and Quinn walked through the back door with bag of groceries in their hands.
"Ok give me 10 minutes or so to get some things plated up and I will be out to help you." Quinn called as she placed the bags heavily onto the table.
"Sounds good. Oh I think Puck may need some help out the front, the crowd is getting a little pushy."
"I'm on it." Santana stated as she walked past Steph towards the front of the bar.

"Hey it's the star of the show." Puck grinned at her as she stepped next to him.
"Steph said you may need a bit of help?"
"Yeah I'm not sure if you are the right person for the job though San."
"Hey I can hold my own."
"Not doubting it babe but by the sounds of half the people here they are here to see you anyway so now we may have trouble getting them into the building."
"Well fuck should I go and swap with Mia or something?"
"Nah it's all good my buddy Brad is on his way to help me out so once he is here you can take your popular ass back inside."
Santana nodded as she stepped out of the way for a couple to leave.
"Thanks guys hope to see you again soon." She smiled warmly at them.
"This is crazy for a Wednesday night huh!"
"It is but I'm not surprised…..Shall I let two more in?"
"Nope, when it's busy like this I tend to only let in a half n half ratio for a while."
"Oh ok."
"We have to keep the numbers right coz that bastard fire marshal is bound to show up when you least expect it."
"Does he have it in for Quinn or something?"
"He has it in for most places around here I think, he has no fun in his life so he wants to make sure others aren't having any either."
"I guess it is the rules…..Can he call in anytime he likes?"
"Yep."
"And if he's seen the paper."
"We can expect him I guarantee it."
"If he came and we were over what would happen?"
"It depends by how many…Quinn could get a fine or issued a court notice."
"Either one would piss her off."
"Yep and probably cost me my job."
"We wouldn't want that now would we?"
"I love this job San I really do."
"Yeah I know bud."
"Told you we would be friends." He winked at her.
"Hey I never said anything about being friends."
They both chuckled and Puck opened the door for a group of 4 to exit.
"How many in your group?" Santana called at to the guy next to the rope.
"Three." He replied eagerly.
"Come on in." She smiled and unhooked the clasp to let them through.
"You got it Lopez we do this for the next few exits and the numbers should always be ok."
"I thought Steph said the crowd were being pushy? These peeps are all good."
"Like I said a lot came here to see you and now they're getting what they want."
Santana blushed slightly and looked down the line with a chuckle a lot of people were definitely looking at her.

"San can you restock the fridges please." Steph called out to her as she took three cans of red bull from the one closest to her.
"Yep….. Let me just finish this." She placed a pineapple wedge on the edge of the cocktail glass and pushed it towards her customer before heading out the back to do as asked.
The bar had been set up extremely well In the aspect that all shelves and fridges could actually be accessed from behind meaning the bar floor itself could be clear at all times when it was busy. Santana went to the larger fridges out the back and started to load up on cans of energy drinks and pre mixes thanking god they were already cold, Quinn was strict on the fact that all drinks had to be served at the correct temperatures.
"Hey hon can you do some more garnishes and a few sugar rims too please?" Steph slammed a full bin of empty bottles and cans on the floor. It was nearly midnight and the place was still packed.
"I can indeed! Lemons, limes and pineapple?"
"Yeah and a few berries as well thanks! This crowd is loving the raspberry splash for some reason."
"It's because it's a fucking nice drink Steph." Santana placed the last of the drinks on the shelf and caught a glimpse of Quinn's ass through the glass on the other side. She grinned stupidly to herself.
"It is huh! Now quit ogling your woman's butt." Santana blushed at being caught red handed.
"Yes ma'am." Santana saluted Steph as she left the room shaking her head.
The next 15 minutes Santana spent cutting fruit, threading berries onto sticks and sugar rimming various glasses. The small finishing touches they added to their drinks were sometimes the difference between good drinks and great drinks.
"Hey baby is the dishwasher finished?" Quinn placed a tray of empty glasses on the bench beside her.
"Ummm…yep it is. Leave those with me babe I can chuck them in."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah of course can you take these out for me though?"
Santana handed her the replenished containers of fruit.
"I can do that." Quinn kissed her cheek quickly and made her way back to the craziness.

"So fucking exhausted." Stace groaned before placing her head on the table.
It was three o'clock and the bar had finally just closed. Normally on a Wednesday they would make their last call at midnight at the latest and be closed and heading home by one and of course it wouldn't have been nearly half as packed as it was tonight.
"Is everyone available to help tomorrow?...well tonight?" Quinn looked at her watch, she knew she was asking a lot of her staff but she would be sure to make it worth their while.
Everyone agreed and Quinn was once again impressed by her team, they had worked their asses off tonight and yet they still agreed to more punishment without so much as a single whine or moan.
"Thanks guys, ok let's lock this place up."
"I've still got a few tables to do and floors to clean so I can lock up." Steph called out from behind the bar.
"I will call the cleaners in the morning and get them to cover it Steph I don't want anyone here any longer tonight."
"Fine by me." Steph laughed as she threw her cloth down quickly.
10 minutes later Quinn herded everyone out the door and switched off the lights she was pretty certain the next few nights were going to be super crazy.

"Can we sleep all day?" Santana groaned when she finally climbed into bed.
"You can sleep as long as you like my love I will need to head in a bit earlier than you tomorrow as we have a few deliveries expected."
"Awwww how early?" Santana pouted.
"About three."
"I will come with you."
"No you should relax hon."
"But if there is two of us getting things ready and putting stock away then it will be done much quicker. That way maybe Steph could come in a bit later so she can put Billie to bed or something."
"You are truly the sweetest most thoughtful person San." Quinn kissed her cheek softly, things like this endeared her more and more to the girl.
"A little bit selfish too as it means I get to spend time with you."
"If that's the extent of your selfishness then I'm totally ok with that." They snuggled closer together.
"I guess I just see myself as lucky, all these extra hours keep everyone else away from their loved ones which sucks for them but it just gives me more time with mine so I'm pretty lucky."
"Yeah we are lucky in that regard. I will make it up to everyone though."
"You know even if you weren't as generous as you are I still think they would do what they do anyway. They all genuinely like you and respect you as a boss."
"You know the saying give respect to earn respect."
"Never a truer word spoken Q."

"You know you could hire a chef or something to do those."
Santana had just finished stocking all the fridges as Quinn made up some food platters for that evening.
"Are you saying these are no good?" Quinn looked at the array of covered platters she had already prepared with a frown, they were colorful and looked appetizing so she couldn't see the problem.
"No I'm just saying not many owners would get their hands dirty like this."
"I actually really enjoy this part of the job it gives me time to escape numbers and orders and all that office shit."
"Then I shall keep my mouth shut!" Santana grinned as she took a piece of toasted bread and smothered it in hummus.
"That's meant to be for the customers San."
"I know but I'm starving."
"Actually I am a bit as well would you like me to make you a sandwich?"
"Mmm yes please."
"And what would you like on it?" Quinn took out two thick slices of bread in preparation.
"Ummmm….some of every bit of meat…..a slice of all cheeses…hummus…..sundried tomato and pickles please."
"That sounds like a heart attack in bread."
"I bet it's going to be so freaking tasty though! just you wait."
"Are you sure you want salami and the hot pork?"
"Yep load me up baby."
Quinn shook her head and proceeded to put the sandwich together.
"That is going to repeat on you all night you know that right?" Quinn laughed as she put the plate down in front of the girl.
"So I may smell a little garlicy…it will keep the vampires away." Santana shrugged and took a large bite of the sandwich.
"It may keep us all away." Quinn winked at her as she started her own sandwich.
"You can't stay away blondie even if a smell like cheeseboard." Santana took another bite, the sandwich was in fact as good as she had hoped.
"You are probably right babe." Quinn sat at the chair beside the Latina and placed an olive that had fallen onto her plate into her mouth before taking a hungry bite of her own sandwich.
"You eat really sexily do you know that?"
Quinn nearly choked on her mouthful.
"What the hell?" She chuckled once she had managed to swallow.
"It's true the way you bite, chew, swallow…..it's a really big fucking turn on."
Quinn caught the predatory look in Santana eyes.
"Ok easy tiger…we have stuff to do and the others are going to be any minute."
"I can control myself….. For now…. but just giving you a heads up for later Q." Santana smirked and went back to her sandwich.
Quinn felt an all too familiar feeling stir below….it was going to be a long night.

Santana was at home on the stage, she knew exactly how to get the crowd moving and up on their feet. This was good for the bar as dancing people equaled thirsty people. Quinn smiled adoringly at her girlfriend from behind the bar. Everyone was so caught up in watching Santana perform that they could actually manage a breather. Steph was thankful as it gave her time to wipe the bar top properly and to clear some cash from the till.
"You know I'm sure she would give you a private show if you asked." Steph hip checked Quinn on her way to the safe.
Quinn smiled but her eyes never left the brunette as she finished up her song and made her way from the stage. She knew exactly the type of show she was hoping for when they got back to Santana's.
The rest of the night was as insane as they had thought it was going to be. However everything had run like clockwork and when Quinn finally punched the alarm numbers into the pad as they all exited the building she had a large smile across her face. Yes she was exhausted but everything was finally slotting into place and as she hooked her arm into Santana's for the short walk to her car she knew 90% of that smile was because of the girl beside her.

"Hey so I was wondering something." Quinn said quietly behind Santana as the girl brushed her teeth.
"A huh." Santana managed to answer before any toothpaste escaped her mouth.
"Would you be ok if we went to my place tomorrow night?"
Santana spat into the sink before wiping her mouth with the face cloth.
"Of course we can we don't have to stay here every night Q we can take it night on night off if you want."
"No I'd much rather be here actually but I need to check on a few things and get some new clothes and I have to check and see if my plants are still alive. We don't even have to spend the night." Quinn could feel herself beginning to ramble. She didn't want Santana feeling uneasy about being in the same house she had shared with somebody else for so long.
"Quinn its ok I'm totally cool to spend a night in your world."
"My world?"
"Yeah it's your home I'm kinda intrigued to see more of it."
"It's not really me."
"No?"
"Not really…..my office is me but the rest of the house has….how can I put it a minimalist feel to it."
"Ahhh ok I understand."
"I mean it's nice and everything but I always found it a little cold…when it was just me at home I'd often find myself spending most of my time in the office."
"Then we can hang out there."
"Ha ha I'm not going to make you sit in my office the whole night Santana."
"I wasn't planning on sitting all night Quinn…well unless it involves sitting on each other's tongues."
Quinn's cheeks went red and butterflies took flight in her stomach.
"Speaking of tongues in oh so good places I do believe you owe me some of that action tonight Miss Lopez."
Santana didn't need another invitation she backed the blonde up against the door and started an attack on Quinn's neck.
"Mmmm…bed." Quinn groaned as her pulse point was sucked harshly into Santana's mouth.
Santana shook her head and pulled away from the girl ever so slightly to look in her eyes.
"Tonight my love you are about to get royally fucked right against this door so no bed is required."
Quinn's knees turned to jelly instantly and she feared they wouldn't be able to hold her up for the duration of what Santana had in mind. As if reading her thoughts Santana's hands which were currently massaging the flesh of her ass suddenly moved to the back of the blondes thighs and lifted her legs around her waist in one fluid motion, Her lips quickly finding their way back to an already marked neck.
Santana was hungry with desire and tonight she was going to make Quinn scream her name as many times as she could.
