I hope you enjoy this chapter, this has a little Santana x Quinn in it so you've been warned. Next chapter I shall be introducing Ms. Lopez hopefully, and maybe explaining the Brittany incident in the chapter after. You'll just have to keep reading to see, enjoy.

"Quinn! Quinn! Open the hell up, Jesus Christ!" I yelled as I was banging on the door. It was now two in the afternoon, and I wanted to go to the drug store to get something to drink. Quinn had money and I knew she didn't care if I borrowed some.

"Hi." I didn't expect the little midget, Rachel, to open the door. Quinn was supposed to take her back to wherever she lived or drop her off at the redline hours ago. I walked past the shorter girl without responding and started walking straight towards Quinn's bathroom where I could here the shower just being turned off.

"Quinn I'm gonna kill you." I said opening the door and closing it behind me. Quinn stared at me naked and with uninterested eyes. I glanced down at her body for a moment before she covered herself with a white towel. "Not bad Fabray." I joked.

"What are you doing? Wait outside." She ordered but I wasn't about to let her demand anything. Was she not aware that she had a stranger in her house right now?

"What gives? You've got that Rachel girl here, did you know that?" I questioned.

"Look I was about to take her back this morning, but she was humming some stupid song…she got Brittany to come out of her room. I had to keep her around." I leaned back on the door and crossed my arms over my chest. Well that was accomplishing something. When Brittany locked herself in her room, she usually stayed there for days.

"So what do you want her to hang around with us forever now?" I scuffed rolling my eyes in annoyance and amusement. Quinn giggled and the way her hair was tossed over her shoulders right now made me a little more interested than I should have been.

"Stop checking me out Pez." Quinn said looking over her shoulder playfully. She began putting on her underwear which made me upset. God, couldn't she just stay nude for awhile, it's not like we were in a rush. "What are you thinking about?" She asked turning and facing me. I walked over towards her so that my body was pressed against hers and I placed my hands gingerly on her hips. She didn't squirm or say anything, which let me know that she was defiantly thinking about it.

I pushed her up higher against the sink and within moments her legs were wrapped around my waist. I leaned down and kissed her slowly, waiting for her to open her mouth and let me explore some more. Quinn was all about being gentle, even though she had her arms wrapped around my neck she wasn't tugging me closer, she just let her arms lay there limp.

"Quinn, Brittany says that she's ready to go outside." Rachel said from outside the bathroom door.

"Fuck, shit, dammit." I muttered in that order as the interruption caused Quinn and I to stop kissing.

Quinn was giggling uncontrollably as she dropped herself to a standing position and put on her shirt. "I'll be out in a few minutes." Quinn shouted. She looked over at me and shooed me away before I could protest.

"God, you were so thinking about it." I said to Quinn who shrugged and began brushing her teeth. I opened the bathroom door and there Rachel was sitting on the couch with Brittany at her side. I went over to the kitchen and grabbed some water and tried to avoid all conversation with Rachel, but that was useless.

"Hi Santana, how was your night?" She asked cheerfully.

"Uneventful." I deadpanned. "Britt you good?" The blonde turned around to face me with a smile and that's all I needed as an answer. I was happy that she was feeling better, but not that I had to spend my time with Rachel. There had to be something Brittany liked about Rachel though, it couldn't just be her voice, could it? Brittany only connected with certain people and judging by the way she was playing around with Rachel, I knew they had connected somehow.

"So I hear you can sing short stuff. Let's hear." I challenged. She stood up and swung around the couch like she owned the place. I smirked; I didn't mind a woman who felt like she was powerful.

"Maybe when I feel like it." She responded with a cocky grin. Okay now I was starting to like this girl a little more. Anyone who had the skewed thought that they could challenge me, was charming in my book. "Oh Quinn you're ready!" Rachel exclaimed happily.

"Let's go!" I said and everyone followed. Quinn walked beside Brittany when we were outside, trying to control her sister's random outburst of excitement when she saw a butterfly or a cool looking car. The drug store was only a few blocks away so having Rachel walking beside me wasn't too bad. I couldn't blame her for much, she didn't know better.

"So, you lied to me about you and that Puck kid dating." I couldn't believe she just said it like that. Like it was a fact or something.

"I didn't lie about that!" I said maybe a little too defensively. It wasn't that I was repulsed by the act of dating Puck, it was just all boys grossed me out. Puck was like a brother to me, more than my actual brother. Just thinking about dating him made me flinch a little bit. "Puck's my boy; you can't be serious about that. You don't even know me." I said dismissing her.

"So last night, that was a…drug deal of some sorts?" She questioned. I looked down at her and into her eyes. She was just one of those curious types. It was ridiculous to answer any of her questions, because I know she's just going to come back with more.

"Of some sorts yeah." I said quickly. "So are you like a reporter or something? Sent in to gain an understanding of hoodlum life?"

"No, nothing like that. You don't have to be defensive; I'm not going to hurt you." I paused for a second letting what she said sink in. She was right, I was being defensive because I didn't want to get hurt. That showed that she wasn't just oblivious and she may not live here, but she understands how I feel. Everyone just wants to be protected and loved, but a lot of us can't have it all.

"You're damn right you're not." I cracked a smile to let her know that I was kidding, and she began laughing along with me. "So look I know I was giving you a hard time before, and I guess you're not that terrible. I just wanna say thanks for doing whatever to get Brittany out of the little episode, that was really cool of you." I said sincerely.

"It wasn't a big deal-."

"No it is a big deal. I haven't seen her like this in awhile…and if Brittany is happy then so am I." Rachel looked down at her tiny feet and smiled to herself. "Um I guess Quinn's gonna want you to come with us to hang out with Puck tonight. I don't know if you'd wanna-."

"Yes." She said enthusiastically.

"Just stick with me alright, can you promise me that?" I asked her just as we were walking up to the entrance of the store.

"Yeah, I'll be with you the whole night." She said with a smile. God she was such a loser, but a nice girl. It wasn't going to be that bad tonight, if we just laid low everything would be alright.
