Both women now stand back to back. Their respective carts safely behind them. Santana looks in amazement at different variations of ice cream while Quinn studiously double checks the items on the list versus the items in the cart.
"Well, I think that's everything you needed." Quinn laughs, handing the last item on the list "Thanks again for letting me tag along. To be completely honest, this is the most fun I've ever had on a Friday night while in a Whole Foods"
"I sure hope not" Santana laughs, holding the very expensive dessert. She watches the girl begin to walk away "Hey Quinn" Santana yells, once again causing the shoppers to look
Quinn laughs, turning back. She leans against her cart in the middle of the aisle "Yeah?"
Santana carelessly tosses the dessert into the cart and walks towards the girl "Can I take you to dinner sometime? A non vegan and definitely not gluten free dinner? It's the absolute least I can do."
Quinn laughs, shaking her head "And what if I prefer gluten free and vegan like your friends?"
It's now Santana's turn to laugh as she reaches for the ice cream in the girls cart. "First of all she's one of two roommates I have and secondly, Cookie dough is NOT any of those things, trust me, this is the good stuff"
"You caught me" Quinn smiles "Okay. Give me your phone"
Santana's eyes widen as her hands search her body for the device in a panic causing Quinn to laugh "I think it's in your cart"
Santana looks back and rushes to her cart, rummaging through her purse until she finds it.
"HA!" She smiles, turning back towards the blonde
Quinn smiles and inputs her number then hands the phone back "There you go"
Santana reaches for the phone but her eyes have not left Quinn's.
"Before I agree, two things. Will you talk more at dinner and this dinner won't take place in a supermarket, right because as much fun as this was" The rest of her sentence falling off as Quinn laughs pointing around
"Oh hell no. It will be an actual nice restaurant with normal, non food allergy having people" Santana scoffs, "And I promise I will be much more eloquent, poetic even. You will be amazed at how charming I will be"
"Oh no, not poetic" Quinn laughs, turning back to her cart "I look forward to it"
Santana watches as Quinn pushes her cart around the corner. She hits save on her phone but quickly looks back up when she hears the blonde yell over the shelf "Bye Santana! The poet with two roommates"
Cue the goosebumps again and all Santana can do is laugh like an idiot.

Santana usually dreaded the tedious and mundane walk from the shops back to the loft but tonight? She seemed to enjoy it. When most people seemed to be cold and rude, tonight they smiled and engaged with each other more. She herself felt more light and before she realized it, she was standing in front of their building.
Not even the broken elevator could dampen her mood tonight.
She tucks a bag into her purse and opens the door, the smell and music quickly invading her senses.
"Oh my Barbara! Santana, Thank you! You found the bread and it's the EXACT brand I love, how did you know? Have you been learning my shopping patterns? And you even purchased RICE MILK? Oh you are definitely going grocery shopping more often!"
Santana shrugs, smiling foolishly before hanging up her coat "It was nothing, a cute blonde helped me"
"Oh no" Kurt chimes in "You and your blondes Miss Lopez"
"Shut up" Santana laughs, tossing a piece of carrot at the young man
"Did she give you her number?" Kurt asks, pouring a tall glass of wine
"Have you seen me porcelain?" Santana moves to grab a wine glass before high-fiving Sam as he enters the kitchen "Of course she did"
"No way, lemme see that". Rachel laughs, snatching the phone from Santana's hand "Quinn Fabray, huh? She sounds muy caliente!"
"Please never do that again" Santana scoffs, filling her glass a little more
"Quinn Fabray" Kurt exhales softly "Santana Lopez and Quinn Fabray…..Quinn Lopez… Santana Fabray…..Santana and Quinn Fabray? Quinn and Santana Lopez?
Santana serious question, would you give up Lopez?"
"How you did that in one breath, astounds me! Relax guys" Santana laughs "Kurt, you know I would NEVER give up Lopez"
"Oh my gosh!!" Rachels yells "Santana! You just had your very own meet cute! Like in all the movies we watch! Except for guy meets girl it was girl meets girl….Oh my gosh can you see it Kurt? Santana lost in the wilderness and out of the smoke comes her hero……"
"Get it together Rach" Santana responds, raising her eyebrow "Try it again, without the dramatics"
"Oh my gosh you did! You did! You had a real life meet cute!" Kurt cheers, raising his wine glass "Tell us everything!"
"Well, there I was…in the middle of Whole Foods. On the phone with…" Santana begins only to have Rachel interrupt "Oh my lady gaga! You were on the phone with me! DIBS ON MAID OF HONOR!!!!"
Kurt scoffs "You can't just call dibs like it's a pizza, Rachel. That is a serious job to have! "
"Excuse you Kurt, I can most definitely call dibs! Santana was on the phone with ME when it happened! I was the sole and only reason she found love in a hopeless place!"
"Easy, Rihanna" Santana laughs, taking a sip of her wine "Let me take her to dinner first"
