Chapter 57
3 whole years
October – age 21 – fall – junior year.
Friday rolled around the week of their 3 year anniversary and Finn was practically giddy. He had it all planned. He left her present on their bed as they left for class in the morning. He got Amanda to babysit. Charlotte was very agreeable to going to their apartment overnight. He came back a bit late from field instruction because he went shopping for her present, not because he had to help out extra.
So when Santana's class let out, Finn met her at the Day Care. They picked Char up and got home in time for a late lunch. They got a bit of their important work done before Finn sat back and stretched. "Do you want your present now?"
"Present?" Santana's head snapped up to look at Finn.
"I believe it's on our bed waiting for you," he teased. She tore out of the living room and into their bedroom practically cackling. He could hear the ripping of paper and a squeal of delight.
"I love it!" Santana screamed.
"Good, you have to wear it on our date tonight," Finn replied. "We have 8:30 reservations at that French place just outside of town."
"Really?
"Happy Anniversary baby," Santana ran over and launched herself at Finn. He appreciated getting a handful of hot Latina, and pulled her close.
"Mmm, happy anniversary," she murmured. "What about Char?"
"Amanda and John agreed to keep her overnight," Finn replied.
"Oh I can't wait. I'm going to scrub and pamper myself. I'll be all soft and silky for you," she teased.
"Ugh," Finn groaned. "You're killing me."
"But you'll enjoy it later," she replied.

It was quarter to 8 when they loaded Charlotte in the car and drove the few minutes to Amanda's place. They walked up a chatted a few minutes. Amanda loved Santana's little black dress. Finn had really done a good job. They got to the restaurant with ten minutes to spare.
The food was absolutely delicious. They had a seen course meal with some familiar as well as unfamiliar foods. They had goof dun tasting new things and feeding each other.
