Quinntana Fanfiction: Now and Forever
Chapter 9: Tough Day
It was only a few days before Christmas and outside, it was snowing lightly and the streets were slowly being covered in a blanket of white. The leaves on the trees have fallen off completely.
"Quinn. We should-" said Santana. But Quinn cuts her off by attaching their lips together.
"Shhh" says Quinn as Santana moans.
"I'm gonna be late" says Santana as she sits up.
"Boo" protests Quinn.
"Look, you can go shopping and stuff" suggested Santana as she makes her way to the bathroom.
"I guess. We haven't started yet" said Quinn as she rolled over, but yelped as she ended up falling on the floor.
Quinn and Santana were giving their gifts together. So whatever Quinn got for the others, Santana's name was attached with hers. But they both promised to get each other separate gifts. Quinn was too lazy to get back up so instead, she started debating on what to get Santana. Santana didnt need any clothes. Or any new gadgets or jewelry. She doesnt need anymore material things. And even if she did, Santana had a job. She could buy it herself if she really needed it. Quinn then remembers the night at the park and almost immediately, she figured out what to get Santana.
Santana just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom fully dressed. She walked back into their bedroom and found Quinn on the floor.
"What are you doing?" asked Santana as she stepped over Quinn to grab her things on the dresser.
"I fell" said Quinn.
"I could see that. Anyway, I gotta go. Bye Babe" said Santana as she kneels down to Quinn and kisses her.
"Bye" said Quinn as Santana walks out. Quinn lazily gets up and makes her way to the bathroom.
Santana walks out the door and downstairs. She makes her way down the street. There werent that much people out so she got to the restaurant in no time. She walks in the door and hides behind the service podium, eyeing her manager at the other side of the room. When her manager turns and walks away, Santana makes a run behind her to the back so she can clock in. She turns the corner and bumps into someone, making her fall. Turns out, the person she bumped into was her manager.
"Mhmpht" said Jane as she collided with Santana.
"Oh shit. Sorry Jane" said Santana as she got back up.
"Quinn again?" asked Jane, knowing why she was late.
"Yeah" said Santana as she clocks in her card.
"Look, I dont mind if youre late. But other workers might think its favortism" said Jane.
"But it is!" said Santana, smirking lightly.
"Wow. Conceited much?" said Jane, smiling.
"Im just kidding. Sorry though. For bumping into you" said Santana.
"Its fine. Now get to work. The other workers are getting lazy" said Jane as she lightly whacks Santana on the shoulder.
Santana could easily call Jane one of her best friends. Even though Jane is not the outgoing type of person, she has a good personality. Whenever they were on break, Santana would update her on whatever was happening. Jane would gladly listen and give advice for your problems. She would make jokes with Santana about customers or the other workers. They would sometimes bet each other to see if a person can finish what they ordered. They were also the biggest pranksters of everyone else.
A couple walks in and dusts the snow off of themselves. Santana walks up to them and seats them. She brings them water and takes their orders. She puts in the orders and goes to serve another table.
Quinn comes out of the shower and gets dressed. She puts on a coat, jeans and boots because of the weather. She decided to invite Rachel to go shopping with her. She doesnt know how she'll be able to handle Rachel and shopping but she didnt want to go alone.
She locked up the apartment and went downstairs. Rachel was waiting for her outside the car.
"You take forever. Im freezing" said Rachel as she got in the car.
"Sorry to keep the Queen waiting" says Quinn.
Rachel rolls her eyes as she starts the car. They drive down the street to one of the nearby malls. They walk into Macy's and go their separate ways. Quinn figured that she'll just get everyone clothes because she was too lazy to think of more thoughtful things. But she doesnt even know where to start. She looks through the clothes hanging and this particular black dress caught Quinn's eye. It was simple yet stands out. Quinn took it off the rack and checked the price.
"Not bad. This looks perfect for Rachel" says Quinn as she holds it in her hand and continues browsing.
Santana was on her way to bring water to another customer but ends up tripping on someones shoe and spills the water on someone.
"Oh, Im very sorry Sir. I'll help you clean that up" says Santana as she wipes the guy's shirt with a napkin.
"No. Its fine. Its just water" said the customer.
"Sorry. Can I get you anything else?" asks Santana, feeling bad.
"A date with you?" said the customer. He was young and handsome. Looked like he had a good job because he was currently wearing a suit and tie. But Santana doesnt play for that team.
Santana chuckles. "Im sorry. But Im married" says Santana as she points to the ring on her finger.
"Oh. Sorry. Shouldve noticed that first. In that case, can I have one of your burgers?" says the guy.
"Sure. I'll bring that to you after I clean this mess up" says Santana. She puts in the order and grabs the mop bucket. She makes her way back to where she spilled the water and mops it up. Once shes done, she goes back to return the bucket but ends up swearing to herself and kicks it.
"Sorry" says Santana as she looks up and sees Jane looking at her, eyebrow raised.
Jane shrugs her shoulders. "Nobody's perfect" she says and walks away.
Once the guy pays for his meal, Santana goes to clean up his table. She finds out that he left a generous tip.
"Wow. Somebody's ballin' with cash" said Jane.
"I spilled water on the guy, rejected him and he leaves me this much tip? I dont get it" says Santana. Jane just wiggles her eyebrows.
By now, Quinn has already gotten most of the gleeks their presents. She found Finn this nice, casual coat. She got Mike a new vest and tie. She got Tina this matching top and skirt. She also bought Mercedes this dark cheetah print blouse. She was still looking for a gift to give Brittany. She walks into the sleepwear section and she sees these duck prints.
"Is this for real?" asks Quinn to herself as she holds up the matching ducky printed pajamas.
"Brittany will love this" says Quinn as she takes it and finally walks to the cash register.
"Will that be all today?" asks the cashier.
"Yes" says Quinn. She pays for all of the things and gathers her bags. She uses her free hand to call Rachel.
"Hey Rach. Are you done?" asks Quinn through the phone.
"Yeah. Im on my way to the car" said Rachel.
"Okay. I'll meet you there and we can grab something to eat after" says Quinn.
"Okay. Sounds good. See yah!" said Rachel and hung up.
Santana tried her hardest to not make anymore accidents. She hadnt taken her break yet so she was even more irritable. She was currently cleaning up and wiping down a table when another customer walked in.
"Excuse me?" said the customer.
"What?" snaps Santana, turning her head, realizing it was Rachel.
"Wow. Thats a nice way to greet your customers" said Rachel.
"Ugh. Dont even get me started" said Santana as she goes to seat them.
"Aww. Tough day Babe?" asks Quinn after she kisses Santana, lightening her mood.
"Yeah" replies Santana. "What can I get you guys?"
"Cheeseburgers and fries. The usual" said Rachel.
"Okay, coming right up" says Santana. She walks into the back and places the order, adding a cheeseburger for herself. Jane eyes Santana when she sees a little smile on her face.
"What are you smiling about?" asks Jane.
"Go look for yourself" says Santana. Jane looks around and sees Rachel and Quinn talking to each other.
"Rachel?" asks Jane sarcastically.
"Ha Ha. Funny" says Santana.
"Im just playing. You gotta chill. Maybe I should call Quinn to come in more often" says Jane.
"The more often she comes in, the less work Im gonna be doing out here" says Santana.
"On second thought, nevermind" says Jane. They both laugh and Santana's order is ready.
"Can I take my break now?" asks Santana as she gathers the burgers and fries.
"Yeah. Go ahead" says Jane.
A/N I know I haven't been updating much but it's because school started and I've been really busy. But feel free to send in prompts and I'll try to write them out when I have the time. Thanks for reading !
