Quinntana FanFiction: Can't Stay Away From You
Chapter 24: Back In Your Arms
Santana woke up and went to check on the others. Kurt and Rachel were missing from the guest room and everybody else was still asleep in the living room. There was a note on Puck's forehead saying that if they wanted breakfast, go back to the loft. She made her way to the kitchen. She found a pan and a wooden spoon and made her way back to the living room. She raised the pan and spoon and started banging it together.
"Rise and Shine! Up Up Up!" yelled Santana as she walked around the apartment making sure everyone could hear her. They all jumped up and rubbed their faces trying to wake themselves up.
"Geez San! You didnt have to wake us up like that" said Puck.
"Well, then. Fine. I guess you guys dont want breakfast" said Santana as she put away the pan and spoon and made her way out the front door.
"Where is she going?" asked Finn.
"What's that on your forehead?" asked Mike pointing at Pucks head.
Puck reached up for the note and read it out loud. "If we want breakfast, we have to go to the loft"
"Thats probably where San went" said Finn. They all got up and went downstairs back to the loft. When they got there, they saw Santana, Kurt and Rachel watching tv.
"Good. You guys are up. Now I have to tell you the plan for tomorrow" started Santana.
"Can we at least eat breakfast first?" asked Tina.
"Fine. But Hurry up. We have a lot to do" said Santana. They all took there time to get their food and finish it while they started conversations with each other. It was driving Santana crazy but she knew she had to keep her cool. Finally, they finished and gathered around.
"So I was planning to propose in central park. Near the bench where I asked her to be my girlfriend. I already rented small canoes that you guys will be riding on in the pond" said Santana.
"And what exactly are we gonna do in the canoes?" asked Kurt.
"Each of you will be holding a sign with a letter on it. And in the correct order, it will spell out the words "Marry Me?" Except for one person. There are nine of you but only seven letters and a question mark. So that makes a total of only eight." said Santana.
"Aww, how cute. Great idea Santana" said Rachel.
"Uh, what will the extra person do?" asked Blaine.
"The extra person will drive Quinn to the park, blind fold her and lead her to the spot by the bench. Quinn might also want pictures so that person will also be our photographer" said Santana.
"I can do it" said Mike.
"Great. Thanks Mike. Before I actually ask the question, I'm gonna recite a poem I wrote for her. At the end of the poem, I'm going to say her name and pause. When I pause, you will take the blind fold off and in her sight, would be the rest of you guys holding the letters behind me in the canoes and I will be kneeling down one one knee in front of her" said Santana.
"Wow San. I never knew you could be so romantic" said Mercedes. Everybody giggled and Santana's cheeks turned a light pink.
"Shut up. Now lets start making those letters. Do you still have paint from when you guys first moved in?" asked Santana towards Kurt and Rachel.
"Uh, yeah. We still do" said Kurt as he and Rachel started bringing out the paint and brushes. Santana brought out small pieces of poster paper.
"You guys will create your own letter. Brittany, you have the "M", Rachel, you have the "A", Kurt will have the "R", Blaine will also have the "R", Mercedes will have the "Y", Finn will have the "M", Tina will have the "E" and Puck will have the question mark. You guys can use any color you want to use" said Santana. They all grabbed a poster paper and brush and started painting their designated letters. Santana still had a few clothes left in her drawers so she brought a bag before she went to the loft. She made her way to the bathroom and took all of her beauty products and stuffed it in the bag. She went to her room and noticed that it still looked the same except if you looked in the drawers, they were all empty. Quinn would never notice what changed. They would be sleeping in the loft because Quinn didnt know about the apartment yet.
They were all done and laid them out to dry away from everything else so they dont get ruined. It was a mix of colors. Brittany's being the most colorful. Santana still had to buy groceries and other stuff.
"Who wants to go grocery shopping?" asked Santana.
Puck, Finn, Brittany, and Rachel raised there hands. They went downstairs and used the van. When the got there, Puck and Finn ran in the store leaving the three girls behind.
"Rachel, can you guys go and get me shampoo and all the other bathroom stuff?" asked Santana as she grabbed a cart.
"Sure. Does it matter what kind of brand it is?" asked Rachel.
"Not really. Just get the same stuff you use at the loft" said Santana. She made her way down to the dairy section. she picked up a carton of milk and a pack of eggs. She grabbed some bacon and cookie dough because she knew that Quinn liked to bake. She was about to go into the next isle when she bumped into Finn crouching down on the floor with a water gun in his hand. It wasnt even filled up.
"What are you doing?" asked Santana.
"Be quiet San. Im hiding from Puck" whispered Finn.
Puck jumped in front of them and yelled, "Bang! Bang!"
"Aww, dammit. See Santana. You gave away my position" said Finn.
Santana just rolled her eyes. "You guys are such dorks. Why did you even come here?" asked Santana.
"Cause we were bored" said Finn.
"Good to know. Now help me look for Brittany and Rachel" said Santana as she continued to the next isle. Brittany and Rachel spotted them and shoved everything they were holding into Puck and Finn's arms.
"Hey! That hurt" said Puck as he and Finn dropped the items into the cart.
"Aww. Boo hoo" said Rachel.
"Cry babies" said Brittany as they followed Santana to the cash register.
"At least Im not the one crying whenever I hear thunder" said Puck. Brittany tried to slap Puck but Rachel held her back. Puck backed up and hit a stand causing a couple candy bars to fall. Santana face palmed herself as the cashier raised an eyebrow at her.
"Puck. Pick it up and all of you head back to the car" said Santana. Puck cleaned up and they made their way outside. Santana turned back to the cashier. "Im sorry. Its like Im babysitting a bunch of twenty year olds" said Santana as she paid for the groceries.
She made her way back to the car and started packing the things in the trunk. When she opened the door, Brittany was crying and Puck was staring out the window, too stubborn to say sorry.
"Puck, say sorry to Brittany" said Santana.
"Shes the one who started it" replied Puck.
"And you can be the one to end it. Do it now" said Santana.
Puck let out a huff and turned around to face Brittany. "Im sorry Britt. I didnt mean to upset you"
Brittany stopped sniffling and looked at Puck. "Im sorry for calling you a cry baby. Im the one whos a cry baby"
"Its okay. Everyone is a cry baby sometimes" said Puck. After the apology, they headed to Santana's place to drop off the stuff. Then they went back to the loft because Quinn was coming back soon. When they walked in, the others were watching a movie. Kurt noticed the irritated look on Santana's face as she sat down next to him.
"How did it go?" asked Kurt.
"I felt like a nanny trying to keep siblings from fighting with each other" said Santana.
"That bad huh? At least it gives you practice for when you have your own children" said Kurt.
Santana let out a little chuckle and got up to check if the letters were dry. Just as she finished hiding it, there was a knock on the door. Santana made her way to the door and slid it open. She saw a flash of blonde and the next thing she knew it, she was engulfed in a hug and her feet were off the ground.
"I missed you San!" yelled Quinn as she put Santana back on the ground and kissed her.
"I missed you too babe!" said Santana. She grabbed her bag and let Quinn walk in.
Everybody got up and hugged Quinn, congratulating her on graduating from Yale.
"Welcome back Quinn" said Kurt.
"Im glad to be back. I love my mom but she drives me crazy with all her talking. Shes even worse than Rachel" said Quinn as she sat in San's lap on the couch.
"So, what have you been doing while I was gone?" asked Quinn. Everybody eyed Santana because they all knew the answer but they couldnt say anything.
"Oh, you know. Just cleaning around the loft, picking up groceries" said Santana trying to sound casual. Quinn was completely fell for it.
"At least Im finally back in your arms. You must have been really bored without me around" said Quinn as she pecked Santana's lips.
"Yeah. Thats it" said Santana
They just sat there for the rest of the night watching a movie with the others.
"Hey San?" asked Quinn sleepily.
"Hmm?" answered Santana as she snuggled closer to Quinn.
"Can we go to bed now? Im really tired" said Quinn.
"Sure babe" said Santana as she carried Quinn bride style into the room. Once Quinn's body hit the mattress, the blonde immediately fell asleep.
Santana got into bed and stared at Quinn. "Sleep tight. Tomorrow is a big day" said Santana as she kissed Quinn's temple. She then spooned Quinn as she closed her eyes, tightening her grip on her soon to be fiance.
