"So hot." Nate absentmindedly blurts his thought out loud. It was better in his head.
"Seriously, Nate?" He tears his eyes away from the dancing women to address his girlfriend.
"What? I-" He finds it difficult to form his response with everyone looking at him as if he just broke the most delicate bubble.
Allison shakes her head at her boyfriend, before grabbing his hand and tugging him towards the coat rack.
"Well, I think it's time we start heading out." Mr. Lopez kisses his daughter's forehead, giving Quinn a hug as he passes them to get his coat.
Santana turns towards the retreating crowd "No, Papi, you guys don't have to leave."
"It's fine mija." Mrs. Lopez gently strokes her daughter's arms to calm her, "Your father's right. It's pretty late and your grandparents need their rest."
"Speak for yourself, lady." Abuela Lopez doesn't appreciate Maribel's comment. "My man and I will be up for many more hours." She may be old, but she's not dead.
"Ok, eww Abuela." Santana tries to completely remove the horrific thoughts of her grandparent's love making, as she walks toward the door where everyone has started to gather their things.
"Really, you guys don't have to leave."
"San, it's ok." Brittany plops her beanie hat onto her head "We'll be back in the morning to finish off what's left of that turkey."
Having been caught up with her parents leaving, Santana had not noticed that her best friend had been getting ready to head out as well.
"Britt, you don't have to go, this is your apartment too."
"Actually," Brittany tries her hand at getting Santana to understand that her and Quinn should have some much-needed alone time, "I kinda planned on staying with my girlfriend tonight…" The blonde trails off, as she locks hands with Tara.
Santana looks between both women. She knew that this was probably going to happen. She had seen the way that they had been interacting for weeks now and if she's being honest, she really has been able to see how much Tara adores Brittany.
So, in true Santana fashion she gives her best friend a reassuring hug, before whispering "Wanky" in her ear.
"We're heading out as well. Thank you so much for having us over Santana." Rachel makes her way to the door after taking a moment to say goodbye to Quinn.
"Everything was amazing, aside from Brittany completely managing to misplace a perfectly good tofurkey."
Kurt is the last to grab his coat. He can't leave without knowing the truth about Rachel's missing dish. On his way out he decides to subtly ask Brittany.
"Trash?"
"Garbage disposal." Brittany lays the mystery to rest as she closes the front door behind the group.
The sound of the door locking seems to echo throughout the apartment.
You can still hear the faint sound of music coming from the soundbar when Santana turns to see Quinn standing in the same spot where they had danced.
Hazel eyes exude worry as Santana takes a few tentative steps toward the blonde.
"San I'm ok." Quinn's nerves are on high alert. "I mean we don't have to talk abou-"
"Stop." Santana interrupts. She wants Quinn to talk to her. She has spent weeks trying to get her to utter even a word in her direction.
The blonde tries again "I'm just saying that we can just forge-"
"Don't…I don't want to forget." Santana stands a foot away from Quinn now.
"Tana, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to start crying." Quinn looks into the deep brown eyes she's missed for days. She doesn't want to ruin whatever progress was just made in the span of one song.
"I know." Santana finally states, as she reaches out to cup a rosy cheek.
"What do you know?"
"I know that you're in love with me." She slightly smiles as the words leave her lips, knowing that starting some playful dialog with the blonde would relax her.
Quinn allows herself to breath. Rolling her eyes, she accepts the challenge for banter.
"Why do you sound so sure?
"Because." Santana answers matter-of-factly, as she plants soft kisses to her warm cheeks.
Quinn welcomes the tenderness that the woman she loves is showing her, but still seeks an answer.
"Because?"
"Yea, because." The brunette looks into hazel eyes again. "I'm in love with you too."
And now it's more real than ever. Now it exists outside of their thoughts. Santana fights the fear that threatens to take this perfect moment away.
Thoughts of the last few months begin to take form in Quinn's mind.
"This ends in disaster, Santana. We-"
"We what, Q?" If Quinn can't be brave right now, she decides to be brave for the both of them.
"We finally give in and allow ourselves to have the relationship we've both wanted?"
"It's not that easy Santana. Things are complicated and messy."
"So, what? We make it work."
Quinn looks away, not wanting the brunette to see the tears starting to develop in her eyes.
"I don't want to be your second choice anymore, San."
"I was wrong." Santana admits, while she caresses Quinn's cheek until they are eye to eye again.
"You were never meant to be my second choice. My heart has always loved you."
"And what about Jen?"
"Jen who?" Santana dismisses the question, with a small grin.
"I'm serious, Tana. "
Full lips press against Quinn's. If words haven't proven that Santana is over any conversation where her and Quinn don't end up together, then she will try actions instead.
"I only see you Lucy Q. I choose you." She wraps her arms around the blonde's waist. "I'm here, right now, with you and this is what I want. I promise you that I will fix everything."
She sweetly kisses the pink lips in front of her.
"I will tie every single lose end into a neat little bow for your cute OCD ass tomorrow."
"And tonight?"
"Tonight..." Santana begins, forehead pressed against Quinn's "Tonight I want to show you that despite the battle going on in that pretty little head of yours," She kisses her again "this is right. We are right."
Quinn decides it's her turn to capture Santana's lips in a kiss. She allows all doubts to escape her mind and gives herself the chance to truly be in the moment with the woman of her dreams.
With hearts pounding through chests, Santana begins to place kisses to light skin. She starts at the jawline and slowly makes her way down Quinn's neck, loving the familiar smell of her Chanel perfume.
The blonde's hips begin to cant forward, wanting to feel any kind of friction from the warm body in front of her. She runs her hands through raven locks, eliciting a soft whimper from the Latina as her nails lightly run across her scalp.
They both know this has been long and coming and they don't want to waste one more second.
Santana briefly pulls away, taking Quinn's hand before guiding them into her bedroom.
Hazel eyes watch in awe as Santana removes her shirt, exposing the abs that the blonde recalls worshipping many months ago. The brunette makes swift work of the leggings she was wearing and finishes her disappearing act by removing her black lace bra and panties.
It feels like time stands still for a moment as Quinn takes in the site of a naked Santana.
Wanting to show her lover that she too is ready to give herself fully, she reaches behind her back to unzip her own dress.
"Ven aqui, mi amor." The words tumbling from the Latina's lips, cause a new wave of wetness to gather between Quinn's legs.
She takes a few steps and allows tan hands to gently turn her around and slide the zipper all the way down. Goosebumps take over her skin as soft fingers slightly push the fabric of the dress until it falls from her body.
She feels hot lips on her neck and exhales as Santana begins to place open mouth kisses on her back. In one swift motion she feels her bra released and a tongue making its way down her spine as the garment drops to the ground.
Santana stands up slowly, allowing her hard nipples to slide against the length of Quinn's back. Pressing her front to the blonde's back she reaches both hands around and palms pale breasts, while licking the side of neck.
She moves her hands lower, hooking her fingers into the blonde's shear panties and finally cupping her slick mound, before pushing the wet fabric down her legs and letting it join the other pieces of forgotten clothing.
"Mmm, you're so wet for me mami."
Quinn moves her firm bottom against Santana's moist folds, needing to feel how ready the brunette is for her.
"God baby, I want you so bad." Quinn husks, overcome with desire. "I need you, Tana."
Wanting to give her girl everything she wants, Santana places a languid kiss to the blonde's neck, before guiding them to the bed.
The Latina takes her place on the bed, choosing to sit up against her pillows and headboard, with her legs spread open and bent at the knees.
She tilts her head to the side, smirking at Quinn's dazed expression after seeing her position on the bed.
She beckons the blonde with her index finger, licking her lips as Quinn crawls onto the bed like a lioness stalking her prey.
"Hey Beautiful." Santana can't help but admire the woman in front of her.
She hooks her finger under Quinn's chin, guiding her lips closer and fully kissing her lover.
"Mmm, only you would try to be charming, while sitting in that sexy ass pose." Quinn confesses, mischievous gleam in her eyes.
She runs her tongue across the Latina's lips, before turning around to sit up against her in a matching position.
"Is this how you show me your gratitude?" Santana breaths heavily into the blonde's ear.
"No Baby, this is how I show my gratitude." Quinn brings her arms up and wraps them around the back of Santana's neck.
She starts grinding her ass back into Santana's open pussy, loving the way her pulsating clit feels against her.
"Aughh, fuck Q. That feels so fucking good." The brunette brings her arms around, palming her girl's full breasts. She uses them as leverage, as she helps the blonde continue her steady motion.
Santana can feel the familiar coil in her abdomen, the slick friction from Quinn's ass threatening to push her over the edge.
She brings her left hand down from the perky nipple and slides two fingers between the blonde's wet pussy lips.
"God yes, right there baby." Quinn turns her head to the side, capturing Santana's lips in a searing kiss.
The Latina rubs circles around her swollen clit a few times before sliding both finger's deep into the blonde.
She matches Quinn's pace, pumping in and out of her tight pussy, as their tongue's battle for dominance.
"God, Tana…I'm gonna cum…fuck baby, I-Aughh…don't stop…"
Santana fucks her girl with determination, moving her own pussy against the perfect round ass in front of her, wanting to cum at the same time as Quinn.
"Cum for me Lucy Q…I need you…give me what's mine baby."
With one last thrust, both women come undone. Waves of ecstasy pour out of their bodies, as labored breathing fills the room.
Quinn's limp arms slowly fall from behind Santana's head, gently stroking the Latina's warm cheeks on their way down.
Santana kisses the palm of the pale right hand as it passes her lips.
"I mean I would have taken a Thank You, but your way of showing gratitude was way better than anything I could have cooked up." Santana breaks the silence, gaining a chuckle from her spent lover.
"I do what I can." Quinn responds, her head resting on the tan girl's shoulder.
"Too bad, we didn't notice the mirror."
The blonde's eyes snap open and take note of the ceiling, "What? You don't have ceiling mirrors above your bed."
Caramel arms wrap around Quinn's body, bringing her closer to the woman behind her.
"Who said anything about ceiling mirrors?"
Quinn glances at the brunette before following her line of site to the mirror attached to the vanity across from them.
A smile graces her lips as she locks eyes with Santana via the mirror that was apparently there the entire time.
They hold each other's gaze, admiring the way their bodies intertwine in the dimly lit bedroom.
"I Love You, Quinn."
"Please say it again…"
"I Love You, Lucy Q."
Quinn can feel Santana's heart rate pick up, as she says the words that mean everything in the world to her.
"Te Amo, Santana; Te Amo con todo mi corazon."
And it only took me a decade to get here LoL
So much has happened in the years I have been writing this story, with Naya passing away, this seemed like something that I could never really come back to.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. We will see an ending soon, but for now let's enjoy what I hope was a killer Quinntana fix. XoXo
