Come Back To Me
Chapter 2
Locker Room after Cheer Practice, a Month Later
Quinn and Santana are the last two in the locker room. Quinn has been waiting to have a talk with Santa for a couple days now and chooses now to do it, "So you have been hanging out with Mercedes a lot."
"Yeah, so, I like her, is that a problem?" Quinn doesn't want Santana to be defensive so she quickly shakes her head "No, no, I just … what is she like?" Santana eyes her up and down before she replies, "Do you really want to know? Because you haven't said one word to the girl since she got here. I'm under the impression that you don't like her. That's why I don't talk about her when I'm around you because I really like her."
"It's not that I don't like her, we just don't mesh well; that's all. We wouldn't get along, but that doesn't mean I don't want you to talk about how she makes you feel. I'm your friend." Quinn says these words but it hurts her to say them because she knows she doesn't mean them.
"First, thank you Quinn. Second, how do you know you guys wouldn't get along if you have never had a conversation with her? She is really sweet; I actually think you two would get along great." Turning her head to the side Quinn looks to the distance almost as if she is remembering something and says "I just know" Santana doesn't like Quinn's answer, but she really wants to talk about Mercedes so she spills. "Quinn she is amazing. I can talk to her for hours and not get bored. She is funny, sweet, smart, caring, she can really keep up with me, and she smells so good. Not to mention her curves make my mouth water. I'm going to ask her out next week. I need to be closer to her."
Quinn smiles and nods the entire time Santana is talking, however all she is thinking is
this can't happen, this happen, this can't happen, this can't happen…
She lies to Santana and tells her she is happy for her. Santana continues to talk and Quinn is feeling a greater dislike for Mercedes' and Santana's relationship with every word.
…
The next week at school Quinn notices that Santana and Mercedes are getting closer and closer. She catches the glances they give each other in the hallway, and how Santana has found a new seat in Glee right next to Mercedes. Quinn has yet to have a conversation with Mercedes and Mercedes has no intention of starting a conversation with Quinn. The only time Mercedes ever looks at Quinn is when Quinn is performing in front of the Glee Club, and even then she tries her hardest to avert her eyes. Santana is very aware of the fact that Mercedes tries to avoid Quinn whenever she can. She spends a lot of her time gawking at her from afar and it has not gone unnoticed. What's even more interesting to Santana is that Quinn is constantly staring at Mercedes. Santana thinks that's odd behavior for Quinn especially because she wouldn't "mesh well" with Mercedes. There is something going on but what is it, and why?
…
Its movie night at Santana's and she and Mercedes are cuddling on Santana's couch. Santana is leaning back, head rested on Mercedes' chest. Mercedes has her hands wrapped around Santana, head resting on top of Santana's head. The movie credits roll and Santa turns the TV off. She turns around in Mercedes' arms, smiles, and says, "Hi, did you enjoy the movie?" Mercedes leans down and plants a light kiss on Santana's lips before she says, "Yes, but I enjoyed lying here with you more." Santana leans in for another kiss. This one is a little hotter than the last, but it's still short.
Something has been eating at Santana for a few days now, and if she doesn't ask Mercedes about it, she will start to create stories in her head. Santana opens her eyes from the kiss and says, "Not to ruin the moment or anything but can I ask you a question?"
"Anything"
"Okay… don't take this the wrong way, but what's the deal with you and Quinn?" Mercedes pulls back a bit and Santana notices that she is a little more tense than she had been two seconds earlier.
"What deal? There's no deal" Santana leans back a bit "I see the way the two of you act around each other, like something has gone down between the two of you." Mercedes does not like where this conversation is going, but she replies anyway, "We are never around each other to act a certain way."
"Exactly my point, you guys actively avoid each other, like there something going on between you two, why?" Santana doesn't want to accuse, but she is just trying to protect her heart.
Mercedes sighs and pulls Santana back into their comfortable position. Mercedes looks down at her date and plants a juicy wet kiss on her lips, hoping to drown out any negative thought Santana may have. "There is nothing to worry about San. I like you, I like you a lot and I haven't really liked someone in a long time. As far as Quinn and I are concerned, we just don't mesh well; that's all. We wouldn't get along." Santana, a little dazed from the kiss and Mercedes' confession asks, "How, how do you know that?" Mercedes smiles and says, "I just know San, I know she is your friend and that's fine with me." Mercedes gives Santana another peck on the lips, "Is that going to be a problem for you?"
Santana lets out a little whimper before saying, "No" and with that Mercedes leans back down to start an intense make out session. Santana made note of the fact that Mercedes and Quinn gave the exact same answers for why they don't speak. However she was too distracted by Mercedes' lips on hers to care at the moment.
