"We should probably…." Quinn sighs as Santana moves, pulling her fully into her lap as she continues kissing her neck.

"I agree, we should probably…" she backs up just far enough to lift her, heading towards the bedroom

"Wait!" Quinn exhales as both hands attempt to grab onto the entry stopping the girl.

"What's wrong?"

Quinn shakes her head smiling "No nothing's wrong it's just that Rachel and Kurt will be…"

"Hey guys!"

Rachel yells as the two enter the apartment

"Here any minute" Quinn completes her sentence as Santana huffs placing the blonde down

"If you're good" Quinn whispers, lifting the girl's chin who is now pouting "I'll do that thing you like, later tonight"

"Hell yeah" Santana nods furiously as her eyes widen, the two moving through the hallway

"There you guys are! Where were you?"

Kurt asks as they alternate removing the groceries

"Santana and I were just going to watch a movie in her room" Quinn shrugs, nudging the brunette.

"Yeah and it was just getting to the good part too so, thanks for ruining it" Santana huffs, crossing her arms.

"Well" Quinn interrupts "I better get going"

"See you later?" Santana responds, instantly regretting it

"Wait, What's later?" Rachel questions before continuing to put the dishes away.

Kurt looks over, having already sensed something had been going on between the two, quickly intervenes "We're all going out later, remember Rach?" Both girls look at him while questioning "Right guys?"

"Yep"

"Absolutely not"

"Yay!" Rachel claps "I'll call everyone and tell them. Oh this is going to be so much fun!"

"Great" Santana scoffs as Quinn elbows her before leaving.


A few hours later

.

"Satan?"

"Come in princess"

Kurt laughs as he enters, quickly closing the door behind him. After taking a seat on Santana's bed watching in amazement as she applies another layer of lip gloss, she's always been effortlessly beautiful but tonight she seems to be putting in a little extra effort.

"Did you need something or did you just want to watch me, like you did in high school?" She jokes placing the lip gloss into her purse before turning around

"What's going on with you and Quinn?"

She tilts her head "Going on? What do you mean?"

"Don't Santana, that might work on Rachel but I've seen the two of you, our rooms are really close and let's just say neither of you are quiet"

Santana blushes before nodding "We're just having fun together"

"Can I be honest?" Kurt asks, Santana sits next to him before nodding "I've seen you have fun with a lot of other girls and I've seen you with Quinn. Trust me when I say, It's definitely more than fun"

She huffs, throwing herself back onto her bed "It started out as just fun K. There were supposed to be no promises and no feelings. To be honest, I don't even know how or when it turned into…."

"Wait, Santana" Kurt gasps "Do you love her?"

"I think I might, I don't know how it happened Kurt. We were just having fun hooking yo and now...I can't stop thinking about her. When I'm not with her I'm wishing I was..."

"Why do you say that like it's a bad thing? The two of you are great together"

"We agreed it was only a fun fling, no strings"

"GUYS" Rachel yells before knocking "You ready? Everyone's here"

"Don't say anything K okay?" Santana raises her pinky as Kurt smiles linking the two.

"Okay"


"Bout time, damn" Puck scoffs pouring another drink before handing one to Santana "I need my wingman on her A game, tonight"

"Where's Quinn?" Kurt asks as Santana scans the room. Rachel smiles entering the living room "She called and said she'd meet us there? Something about bringing a friend or something?"

Santana and Kurt exchange looks as the others continue drinking

"Okay, let's go before I'm too drunk to enjoy this club" Tina announces as everyone begins to grab their coats.

.

.

It's a short walk from the loft to the club but once inside, some head towards the bar and the others search for an open table.

"SO" Kurt asked, coming alongside Santana "Are you going to tell her tonight?"

Santana rolls her eyes "I knew I shouldn't have told you look, we're just having fun.

"That's it. Let it go"

She notices Kurts attention shift, turning around she sees Quinn walking in but she's not alone.

"Who the fuck is that?" Santana growls as Kurt shrugs "I'm not sure, I've never seen him before"

The two approach the table as Santana and Kurt stay at the bar

"Stay here" Kurt says "I'm going to find out who that is"

.

After a few minutes Kurt takes a seat as the group laughs, Santana rolls her eyes before ordering another drink. She turns around when she notices Quinn's hand on the guy's arm as she and Kurt laugh. She takes a second to size this guy up. He's muscular, tall and has blue eyes, the guy screams Quinn's type. Deciding she's had enough, she orders a few more shots.

.

"Hi" She hears next to her "Buy you a drink?"

Santana takes a second to look at the girl, she's cute for sure and if she wasn't with Quinn maybe….but the she shakes her head reminding herself once again, she is not with Quinn, they are not dating so having a drink with this cute girl shouldn't be a problem.

After all, Quinn is draped all over some guy, right?

"Sure" The brunette nods as the blonde orders two more drinks

"I'm Dani" She smiles extending her hand "Santana"

"So what are you doing here all alone, Santana?" She smiles before pointing behind her "Not alone, with that big ass group back there"

Dani turns but furrows her eyebrows "Are you sure you're not with someone? Because that blonde is stabbing me with her eyes"

Santana turns to see Quinn sitting back in the booth, arms crossed with her scowl in place

"It's a friend's with benefits thing and she obviously has a date so don't worry about it"

Dani nods as the pair turn back around continuing their conversation

"Who the hell is that Kurt?" Quinn huffs, leaning into the man's space

"I have no idea Quinn" Kurt shrugs "Why do you care anyways?"

The blonde shrugs "I don't, I just…."

"Quinn, I know about the two of you. Santana told me earlier"

Quinn's eyebrows furrow "She did?"

Kurt nods, not wanting to completely overstep in their relationship "She told me the two of you have been having fun, together"

The blonde scoffs, rolling her eyes "Guess that's all I am to her. Someone to have fun with. Why am I not surprised"

"Hey" Mark interrupts "Wanna dance Quinn?"

Kurt shakes his head no but the blonde looks back at the bar, seeing Santana and the girl laughing she decides "I'd love too"

Mark smiles, taking her hand as the two walk towards the dance floor. Quinn finds a spot where she can still see Santana, and begins dancing freely at first but once their eyes meet…

.

.

.

"The fuck" Santana huffs looking past the girls shoulder, completely interrupting Dani midconversation

"I'm sorry, what?" Dani's eyebrows furrow as she follows Santana's line of sight, realization finally hitting her. She knows that Quinn and Santana might not be together officially, but the look in their eyes tells her they sure as hell want to be.

"You wanna dance?" She asks causing the latinas concentration to break

"Hell yeah"Santana responds before quickly finishing her drink then grabbing Dani's hand, practically dragging her to the dance floor.

Santana makes sure to position them in Quinn's line of sight. The blonde seems to lose the latina so she moves around Mark in an attempt to find her but just then the song changes and their eyes meet.

.

Believe it, we ain't got no plans to leave here

Tell all of your friends to be here

We ain't gonna sleep all weekend

Oh, you know, you know, you know

.

Dani turns into Santana's arms so they are now face to face. She places her hands around her neck trying to draw the attention back but Santana's focus remains on a different blonde, across the room. Quinn has now turned so her back is facing the man's front as his hands grip her hips, her eyes remain locked and focused on the Santana as they both move to the beat.


That's the motto (Mhm)

Drop a few bills then pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm)

Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)

We been up all damn summer (Oh)

Makin' that bread and butter (Yeah)

Tell me, did I just stutter?

That's the motto (Mhm)

That's the motto (Oh)


The two continue trading looks until it seems Dani has had enough. She cups Santana's chin and when the latina shifts her eyes, Dani brings their lips together. Not expecting that to happen, Santana stands frozen, unsure of what to do. Once the kiss ends, she looks up to see Quinn's mouth drop as her eyes fill with tears. She walks away leaving a stunned and confused Mark in her wake

"Shit" Santana says as she leaves Dani in the crowd. She maneuvers her way back towards the table where all their friends have been watching

"Where'd she go?" Santana asks as everyone looks around

"She just left Santana, she requested you not chase her"

Rachel finally says, causing Santana to roll her eyes. Like she would listen to that, quickly picking up her purse she hails the nearest taxi. After repeatedly being sent to voicemail, the brunette tosses the phone back into her puse. Arriving at her destination she tosses cash at the driver before running into the building.

.

"Come on Q, open up" She knocks relentlessly, knowing the blonde is home "I'll stand all here all night if I have too, come on Q"

After a few minutes she hears the lock click "What Santana!"

The brunette is let in but met by a tear stained, mascara running blonde

"Q, I'm so sorry…"

"Don't Santana" The blonde huffs "I don't even know why I'm crying, it's not like we were dating or anything. I was just someone you had fun with."

Santana drops her purse before walking up to Quinn, cupping her cheeks carefully and wiping the mascara away "Fuck Q, I'm so so sorry. It was stupid I know but after talking to Kurt earlier I had this plan to tell you that I loved you and then you showed up with that guy and then Dani was there and I….What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Quinn places her hands on the girls arm "You just said you loved me, Santana"

"Of course I fuckin love you Q" Santana smiles "We've been messing around for almost a year now, you think I'd do that with just anyone?"

The blonde quirks her eyebrow before laughing "Well...:"

"Don't" Santana laughs "Don't ruin this Luce." She exhales leaning their foreheads together "I love you Q. So damn much and fuck, I'm so so sorry for tonight"

Quinn smiles, placing a kiss on the girl's forehead "As much as I want to be mad, it's okay San, we both messed up" She backs out of the embrace before beginning to laugh "Wait. You thought that Mark and I?"

"Yeah" Santana responds crossing her arms "Who the hell was that anyways, Dani was some rando at the bar but you showed up with him"

Sensing the jealousy brewing once more, Quinn quickly wraps her arms around Santana "Mark is someone from my office, I invited him tonight….For Kurt"

Realizarion hitting Santana as her eyes widen "You mean, He's gay?!"

Quinn nods, smiling "Very much so"

"Why didn't you just say that in the beginning, Q?"

"I wanted too but you stayed up at the bar and when I was able to break away, you were with Dani"

"I guess we both fucked up huh?" Santana asks wrapping her arms around Quinn's neck

"We did but" Quinn smiles as she tightens her grip on the girls hips "You said you loved me and that trumps everything else because the mighty Santana Lopez said she loved me"

Santana playfully rolls her eyes "I did but you haven't said it back so now i'm rethinking all of this, blondie…."

Quinn pulls the girl into her, cutting off the rest of the rant. She smiles into the kiss before pulling back just enough to say "I love you too, Santana"

"So can we finally end this friends with benefits shit?" Santana asks, playing with the blonde's fingers. Quinn smiles as fingers rake through her sweaty hair "But If we end it, where will that leave us?"

Santana smiles before bringing the girls hand up to kiss it "Girlfriends"

Quinn nods, smiling "Girlfriends, I like that"
