Intuition

.

The loud crack of thunder startles me wake, attempting to move, I freeze.

.

Shit

.

My back has never fully recovered from that stupid accident, I refuse to take painkillers and normally Santana would message it for me but she's out of town on business. I lay there listening to the rain as tears steam down my face.

.

"Fuck" I whisper trying to sit up instantly dropping back down when I hear the front door rattle.

"Great" I think to myself "This is how I die, alone and pretty much naked" Rolling my eyes I smile "Santana would be so sad she missed it"

.

I pull the covers over my face because apparently I haven't watched enough scary movies with Santana to know better. The movement and sounds in the living room cause me to clutch the blanket as tightly over my head as I can.

.

Hearing a light chuckle as the keys hit the nightstand, I feel the blanket being gently pulled back

.

"Santana!" I whisper

"Hey gorgeous girl" She says kneeling beside the bed attempting to tame my wild mane

"My little lioness, hiding from the monsters?"

she says kissing my forehead and I force a smile as a single tear rolls down my cheek

.

"Oh my god are you okay baby? Is it your back?" She asks and the fact that she already knows makes me cry harder, I nod as she stands up.

.

"Okay give me a second okay?"

Tossing her bag into the corner she runs into the bathroom, a few crashing sounds later she's back in front of me.

"I'm going to help you turn over okay?"

.

She asks, and I nod. We move at a very slow agonizing pace. Over and over she apologizes for hurting me offering sweet kisses on my back, as penance.

.

I absolutely love this woman with everything I am.

.

Once I'm flat on my stomach she carefully straddles my lower legs putting the warming cream on her hands slowly beginning to rub.

.

It's almost like she knows exactly how much pressure to apply and where the knots are, I can't help the small moans and grunts that escape my lips. Before I realize I'm asleep, I wake up on her side of the bed. Glancing to my right I see her curled into a tight little ball, I've told her countless times she doesn't have too but she insists she does this so she doesn't move, contributing to the pain in my back.

.

My sweet, sweet love.

Feeling much better i slowly turn on my side to face her.

.

"You okay babe?" She asks half asleep pulling me slowly and gently into her front, I nod "Because of you I am, thank you San"

I gently kiss her lips as they quirk into a lazy smile "Anytime Q"

.

I lean up on my elbow as I trace her beautiful face with my fingertips like I've done countless times, I'll never understand why this beautiful woman loves me so. Every time I trace her bottom lip she kisses it and I once again thank any entity out there that this gorgeous woman is mine.

.

"Not that I'm complaining but I thought you weren't supposed to be back til Friday babe?"

.

Her eyes are closed and she's really trying to fall back asleep, exhaling she turns into the little spoon so I can hold her "I missed you too much Q so I left early" She yawns "My dad said we'd talk later, he'll probably give me shit"

.

I smile at that confession, her dad loves to give her shit about how whipped she is and as tough as she pretends to be she loves to be held like this so I squeeze her a little tighter kissing the back of her neck.

.

Her breathing eventually evens out and I know she's asleep, she must be exhausted. I lay back down falling asleep with so much peace, knowing I have the love of life in my arms.

.

.

.

I wake up a few hours later hugging a pillow, stretching as I reach over I feeling cold sheets. As I slowly sit up I hear the front door once again, in she walks tossing her soaking wet sports bra at me and I laugh "Gross San!"

Shrugging she walk into the bathroom

"Coming?" She yells and I don't think I've ever moved so fast, my back be damned.

.

.


.

.

"So" she says placing a stack of pancakes and bacon on the table, I immediately reach for bacon and she laughs shaking her head.

"So there's another reason I came home early"

I quirk my eyebrows "Oh?"

She nods taking a drink of her coffee

"We need to talk"

.

That scares me, we've been together for almost 3 years. Sure her work travels have increased but we don't let it cause problems, when Santana told me she was going to follow in her father's footsteps and be a doctor I was so proud of her.

The look in her eyes today is different and I have to admit it has definitely peaked my interest…

.

"Relax Luce" she says laughing, apparently I've been quiet too long. She moves to kneel in front of me and I turn to look down at her. Placing my hands on her cheeks she smiles closing her eyes, after a deep exhale she takes my hands.

.

"There's a reason I came home early" she looks into my eyes "We've been together almost 3 years now, we've watched each other grow up, excel in our careers but for me" She exhales "It's been so much more than that, these have been the happiest years of my life, Luce I'd be so lost without you. I was stuck at the medical conference surrounded by old ass Dr.s and their wives when all of a sudden….." She shakes her head laughing "I felt like you needed me, it was crazy Luce I've NEVER felt that before, the urge was so strong I told my dad and hopped on a plane. And I'm sorry if it's lame I'm sorry if it….."

.

I can't contain myself I pull her into me kissing her, feeling her smile into the kiss she places her hands on my thighs pulling back "Please let me get this out" I nod allowing her to continue "I love you Lucy, I don't want to spend another day without…"

.

She stands up disappearing into the bedroom closing the door, sitting shocked I decide to follow her slowly opening the door when I'm met with…..

.

.

.

.

"Oh my god" I exhale with my hands over my mouth.

There Santana kneels smiling with rose petals carelessly thrown around the room

"Santana" I try again

"Lucy Quinn Fabray, will you marry me?"

.

.

"Yes" I whisper, "Yes I will marry you!"

.

She stands smiling wiping her eyes as she grabs my left hand, looking me with those beautiful brown eyes she says "I promise to love you and only you for this lifetime and a million after, Lucy"

.

.

I kiss her as she slides the iceberg that hit the titanic onto my finger. Laughing I pull away shaking my head

.

"And I promise to love you all the days of my life Santana Lopez and the lifetimes that follow, forever"
