Chapter Six: First Date
Early the next morning, Quinn sneaks out and leaves Santana a note. She has to get to work and left her clothes at home, knowing her parents will still be sleeping, she sneaks in. Charlie almost gets her caught, but she manages to calm the lab down. She tip toes down the hall and into her room, then very carefully grabs her uniform from her dresser. She quickly showers, then changes into her uniform and puts on some makeup, feds Charlie and grabs some pineapple before sneaking back out. Riding her bike to work, she ready's herself for Rachel and Kurt's interrogation. Arriving at the hotel, as usual, Holly greets her as she parks her bike."Aloha, chicka. How are you and your fiery Latina?" Quinn smiles at the mention of her girlfriend."Really good, I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she said yes. We're going on a date this weekend." Holly smiles then hugs the blonde tightly."Good for you, we want happy Quinn back, and leave the scared and depressed Quinn behind." Quinn laughs shaking her head."I couldn't agree more, and I think San will do just that." She walks into the locker and remembers she forgot a lunch, wanting more than just some fruit, but shrugs it off knowing there's always Casanova. As she gets her cart from the storage room, Rachel and Kurt walk in, and Kurt gaps."Oh my god, Quinn. What happened to your lip?!"
Quinn giggles as Kurt examines it like a doctor, then pushes his hand away."It's fine now, so don't worry, and I'll tell you after I get my stuff loaded." Both sigh dramatically, not wanting to wait, but both get their carts loaded in silence. Holly hands them their lists of rooms, and Quinn can't contain her laughter as Kurt and Rachel look at her, walking to their buildings."Ok, fine. I'll tell you, only cause your both starting to freak me out." She has them follow her to the first room, and opens the door. Kurt and Rachel go in first with their carts, then Quinn."Ok, so I got into a fight with my dad." She pauses looking to her feet."And he might have hit me a few times." Both gasp."What did Judy do?! Just stood around and let her husband beat her kid?!" Quinn glares at Rachel."She tried to help, but I wouldn't let her, I was so pissed off." She takes a deep breath."You know what he said?" She waits for them to respond and both slowly shake their head."That he blames me for what happened, yeap, it was all my fault for being such a slut!" Rachel hugs Quinn as she silently cries and Kurt just looks angry."I can't believe he would say something like that. Quinn, you know that wasn't your fault, right?" She smiles through tears and nods on Rachel's shoulder."Yeah I do, but hearing it from him, really hurt. I mean, I suspected it but, a part of me hoped I was wrong." Kurt hugs the blonde from behind, making her smile."Where did you go? I'm assuming you didn't stay there after, and you didn't come to our houses." Quinn leans out of the embrace, and Kurt steps aside."I went to Santana's, I knew you would still be mad, and I didn't want to deal with Kurt's dramatics." Rachel nods feeling a little hurt, but understands."Did you tell her?" Quinn smiles and wipes her eyes."Yeah, I told her everything, and not just about that night. I told her about my drinking days, and rehab; and I asked her to be my girlfriend. We're going on a date this weekend." Rachel smiles back.
"Did you tell her who did it?" Rachel and Quinn look over to Kurt, siting on the bed. Quinn bites her bottom lip and shrugs, Rachel's mouth hangs open in shock."You told her?! Quinn, we've been friends forever, why didn't you tell us?!" She runs her fingers through her hair, then shrugs."I didn't think you would believe me, I didn't think anyone would." Both shake their head in disbelief."Why would you think that? Of course we'll believe you." She rolls her eyes."I just wanted to be over with, I didn't want to deal with lawyers, a judge, or a jury, ok? I was scared and I just wanted to forget!" Rachel and Kurt share a look, then Rachel stands and pulls Quinn in a hug."But you didn't, you should've just told someone." Quinn hugs her back tightly."I couldn't, besides, they uh left the island so it wouldn't have mattered anyway." Rachel pushes Quinn at arms length gasping, as Kurt quickly joins her side."They? As in more than one? Jesus, Quinn, how many were there?" She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath."Five." They both turn pale and feel sick at the thought."I can't believe you've kept this to yourself. Everything makes sense though, and it's understandable, and I'm glad you have Santana now, but don't shut us out now, ok?" She smiles then pulls them into a group hug."I won't, and I'm so glad I'll have Santana now too. She really does make me happy, and I'll show her what it's like to be loved." They break the embrace and wipe their eyes, laughing a little, then Rachel smile fades."Do we know them? Is that why you thought we wouldn't believe you?" Kurt opens his mouth to protest, but Quinn beats him to it."Yeah, you know all of them." Rachel nods then looks at the time."We should get to work, or we'll get fired." Quinn snorts as Kurt rolls his eyes."We might get in trouble, but they'll never fire us." The three split ways, off to clean, and Quinn feels a little weight off her shoulders. They may not know exactly who'd
done it, but it's a start.
The rest of the morning, Quinn can't stop thinking about Santana and their date. She wonders where they'll go, and what she should wear. It's been a long time since she's been on a date herself, and it makes her nervous, butterflies fill her stomach thinking about it. Quinn is cleaning one of the larger rooms, wiping down the round table when she feels hands wrap around her waist, and lips kiss her neck."You were really in your head there, I called your name like four times." Santana kisses the shell of her ear, giving her goosebumps."So, whatcha thinking about?" She continues to assault her girlfriends neck, and Quinn closes her eyes enjoying the feeling."You actually." Santana smiles in her neck."Oh yeah?" Quinn turns in her arms, and kisses her slowly."Yeah." She says against her lips, Santana slips her tongue in and slides her hands up the blonde's abs, moaning. Then she slides her hands around to her backside and squeezes it, pulling her closer. Quinn breaks the kiss then takes a deep breath and gives a couple mouse kisses."We need to stop." Santana kisses her jaw, down to her pulse point."Why, your almost done with this room, besides Brit is keeping watch, and there's a bed waiting to be used." Quinn closes her eyes, the Latina is turning her on, but she wants to keep her promise, and not be like everyone else the brunette has ever been with. She hooks her finger under her chin and smiles."I said no sex, not yet anyway, remember?"
Santana snorts, then pecks her lips."Yeah, I know, and that's fine." Quinn smiles and Santana squeezes her backside again."I could always eat you out." Quinn sighs and leans their foreheads together."San, I asked you to be my girlfriend, cause your an amazing person, and you make me really happy, for the first time in a long time." The Latina smiles, lightly blushing."Yes, your absolutely the most beautiful girl in the world, but to me that's just a bonus, ok?" Quinn can see the unsheded tears, and Santana quickly wipes them away and kisses Quinn more gently, and slow."That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me." Quinn brushes some hair behind her ear."Well that's a shame, cause your amazing, and you should be told that everyday." Santana blushes and lightly hits Quinn's shoulder."Stop, it." She rubs her arm laughing."Stop what?"
"Making me blush." Quinn pulls Santana closer by her waist."Well get used to it." She kisses her, showing the Latina how much she cares about her. After a few minutes a making out, Brittany knocks on the door making them laugh."I should get to work now. I'll call you at lunch, maybe we can eat together at Casanova." Santana kisses her a few more times making Quinn giggle."Ok, see you later, babe." Quinn's stomach flips, still loves that word out of the Latina's mouth."Bye." Santana reluctantly leaves and Quinn catches a glimpse of Brittany teasing the Latina and laughs. By lunch, Quinn meets Santana at the small restaurant, as they eat, Santana flirts with Quinn, making the blonde blush, claiming it's her revenge. After saying goodbye to the Latina, she returns to the locker room, to find Rachel and Kurt."Hey, what's up?" She walks pass them and into the storage room, as she puts the stuff from her cart away, they both walk in, arms crossed."Why are two starring at me like that?" Kurt rolls his eyes."You're such a horny lesbian, keep it in your pants!" Quinn blushes and continues to put the cleaning items away. Santana and Quinn had a very intimate, and public display of affection outside of the restaurant."All we did is make out a little, relax." Kurt scoffs and Rachel snorts."A little? You two were sucking face, and practically having sex." Quinn rolls her eyes."We're not, stop being dramatic. And don't act like you and Blaine don't do the same." Kurt blushes, then steps aside for Quinn. They follow her out, and she puts back her master key."Quinn, your dad has been looking for you at my house. I tried calling you, but I think you left your phone off or something." She sighs, running her hand through her hair."Yeah, sorry about that. I was with Santana, and got caught up in talking to her about everything." Rachel smiles."That's fine, I understand." Quinn sits on the bench in front of the lockers biting her bottom lip."Did he seem mad?" Rachel sits next to her, followed by Kurt."Yeah, kind of. He thinks you've been at my house, when he came over I just told him you were in the shower. What are you going to do? You have to go back sometime."
"I have already, this morning, but, they were sleeping still. I don't know what's going to happen when I do though." Kurt rubs her back."Whatever it is, call either one of us. Santana might be your girlfriend, but you don't want to put that kind of pressure on her. Besides we know you better than anyone." Quinn smiles then rests her head on his shoulder."I know, if I don't call later, I will tomorrow, ok?" He pats her knee."Ok, be careful, don't make him more angry." They part ways, and again she promises to call them. When she gets home, she's not surprised to see the car still gone. She parks her bike and sees Charlie barking through the sliding door."Hey, baby." She slides it open, Charlie greets her then follows her inside. Quinn feeds the dog, then jumps in the shower then gets ready for the date. Putting her makeup on, she hears Charlie bark, and the front door open and shut."I know your here, I saw your bike!" She puts her makeup back then walks into the living room."What the hell are you doing here?"
"Do I not live anymore or something?" Russell groans and hits the wall by her head, making her jump."You were gone for two days without a word, then you show up here without so much as a phone call?!" She looks over to Judy sanding in the kitchen and shrugs."I didn't think you would be here yet. I have a date, so I thought I wouldn't see you until tonight." Russell goes to slap her again, when Judy stops him."Enough! Our daughter needs us, Russell. She's still hurting, can't you see that? She was always scared and we should've been there for her from the start." Russell yanks his hand away and stomps into their room. Judy hugs Quinn tightly."I'm sorry, Quinnie bear." She smiles and hugs her back."I know, it's ok. Just promise you'll be here for me now, ok?" Judy nods in her shoulder."Of course, I'll make it up to you." She squeezes her before letting her go."Now who is this lucky girl? I wanna know all about it." Judy sits Quinn on the couch, and she tells her how they met, and up to when she asked her out, leaving a few stuff out of course. For Quinn it feels nice, it's been awhile since she had a talk like this with her mom, it makes her realize what they've been missing, and maybe should've said something from the beginning. Someone knocks on the door and Quinn goes to greet them."What about dad?" Judy waves her off."He'll just stay in our room, pouting like a little boy. Now go I bet it's Santana." Quinn smiles then opens the door, and gasps. Santana is standing at the door dressed in a blue and purple striped dress, with her hair down in lose curls and holding a flower."Wow, San. You look so beautiful." The Latina smiles, blushing lightly."Gracias, so do you."
"Thank you." Quinn glances back at her mother standing in the kitchen, eavesdropping."Would you like to come in for a minute? I want you to meet my mom if that's ok?" She looks apprehensive, but nods. Quinn takes Santana by the hand and closes the door, then leans by her ear."We're finally starting to talk again, and the first thing that came to mind to talk about, was you." Santana smiles and Quinn returns it, blushing as they enter the kitchen and Judy clears her throat, to make her presence known."Sorry. Mom, this is Santana Lopez, my girlfriend." She smiles and shakes the Latina's hand."You're much prettier than Quinn said you were." Santana laughs a little, with a blush, and Quinn rolls her eyes."Mom." Judy shrugs."What? I'm just keeping it real." Quinn closes her eyes and shakes her head, as Santana continues to laugh. Then Judy notices the flower and gestures towards it."You brought a flower, that's sweet, but where's the stem?" Santana smiles and turns to Quinn."I saw a lot of girls with these in their hair, and I asked about it, because some had it behind their left ear, and some on the right." She pauses putting it on Quinn's left."Right means single." Quinn smiles, pointing to the flower."And the left?" Santana shrugs shyly."Married, and I know you're not but, you're not single either." Quinn hooks her finger under Santana's chin and kisses her gently."Thank you." She says against her lips."You welcome." Again Judy clears her throat, making the girls blush."I think it's about you two leave, have a good time." She hugs them both and escorts them out the door."Bye mom, I love you." She hugs Judy again tightly, Santana can see tears in the corner of the women's eyes."I love you too, Quinnie bear." Quinn is too caught up in the moment to even be embarrassed she called her that in front of Santana."Ok, go now." The girls giggle, and Santana takes Quinn's hand, walking her to the car.
On the way to the restaurant, Santana slips her hand into Quinn's and lacing their fingers, making her blush. Santana traces circles with her thumb, on the back of her hand until they reach the restaurant."I know this place, I haven't eaten here though. Good choice." Santana stops Quinn from getting out of the car, then climbs out herself, and opens the door for her."This is all new to me, so I hope I'm doing it right." Quinn smiles and gives her a chaste kiss on her lips."You're doing an amazing job, San. Just be yourself though, cause I already like you." Santana shuts the door then takes Quinn by the hand into the restaurant."Reservation for Lopez." The mans checks the list, then grabs two menus and escorts them to their table."The waiter will be right with you, enjoy." Quinn looks around the restaurant after deciding her meal. It's fairly large and open, so you can see the beach, where they also have some tables set."This is really nice, San, and it seems expensive. You didn't have to take me here." She just shrugs shyly, and waves her off."Yeah, but, just thank dear old dad." She takes out a credit card when the waitress comes."Hi, I'm Marley, what can I get you to drink." Quinn gasps in surprise as Santana was about to order her drink."Hey, Marley. I thought you worked at the restaurant across my dad's place?" Marley smiles as Santana looks between them confused."I did, but now I work here. So, what can I get you?" Santana notices Marley directs the question towards Quinn more and groans to herself."I'll have a Pepsi, and Quinn will have the same, thanks." Marley writes down their order, and puts the small pad in her pocket."I'll be right back with those, and take your time with the menus." Santana continues to glare at the girl, and Quinn smiles and reaches across the table, and holds the Latina's hand."What's wrong?"
"How do you know her?" Quinn glances back to where Marley walked off to, and shrugs."Her mom cooks at the restaurant across the street from my fathers. I just ran into her a couple times and we talked, that's all." Santana nods skeptically."She didn't even notice I was here until I said something." Quinn tries not to smile, and rubs the brunette's hand with her thumb."Don't worry about her, I'm here with you, and I wouldn't want to be with anyone else. I wouldn't have asked you to be my girlfriend if I didn't." She kisses the back of her hand, making her smile."You're right, I'm sorry. But if she starts flirting, snixx is coming out." Quinn snorts."Who's snixx?" Santana grins with a shrug."Someone you don't want to meet." Quinn just laughs as Santana looks at her menu, and Marley returns."Have you decided what you want yet?" She takes out her pad and pen, and Quinn nods, then orders some lobster tails, and Santana orders pasta with shrimp. Marley takes their menus and says she'll be back with their meals soon."So, you said you and your mom are talking now, huh?" She smiles."Yeah, I mean it happened just before you got there, but she's starting to be my mom again, and it's nice."
"I'm happy for you, but if she does anything, and not just her, your dad too, their in trouble." Quinn squeezes her hand, blushing."I know, thanks." She shrugs shyly."You're my girlfriend, right? I'm supposed to look out for you." Quinn blush deepens."Yeah, it goes both ways though, so remember that." Marley comes back with their food and refills Santana's drink. Quinn looks at her plate full of food, shocked at the amount."Wow, I'm definitely going to be taking some home." Santana swallows her food and moans."I'm not, I'm going to devour this." Quinn giggles then takes a bite of her lobster."So good." The couple eat their food in a comfortable silence, and Santana rubs her foot against Quinn's leg making her blush, and the Latina giggle."What?" She shakes her head, smiling."It's so easy to get you to blush, it's cute." She laughs some more as Quinn's cheeks darken."Stop it." Marley takes back their plates and asks if they want desert, and Santana declines."I actually have a surprise for you." She takes Quinn by the hand, and walks down to the beach, next to the restaurant. Leaning against a palm tree is an acoustic guitar, Santana tugs on Quinn's hand and has her sit in front of it, then takes the guitar and sits against the tree."You were really vulnerable yesterday, and the night before, so I thought it was only fair that I do the same." Quinn smiles as Santana starts playing her own acoustic version of Taylor Swift's song, Enchanted.
Quinn is impressed at the Latina's guitar skills, she didn't even know the girl could play. During the middle of the song, Quinn closes her eyes and just enjoys listening to Santana's unique and amazing voice, until it ends. She slowly opens her eyes then sets the guitar aside, leaning her hands on Santana's thighs she kisses her deeply. Santana smiles in the kiss then moans as Quinn's hands slips higher up her thighs."You're going to be the death of me." Santana says against Quinn's lips, and leans back, but still close so that their mouths are inches apart."I could say the same about you, if you keep wearing dresses like this." Santana giggles, then reconnects their lips in a heated kiss. Quinn squeezes Santana's thighs making the Latina moan, then slips her tongue in, enjoying her taste. The kiss ends organically, leaving both girls panting."We're behaving in a very intimate manor, in a very public place." Quinn looks around and blushes deeply."I just couldn't control myself after that performance. You have an absolute, amazing voice, San." She pauses leaning closer to her mouth, so their lips are just touching."And it's such a fucking turn on." Santana groans and pulls her in another heated kiss. Quinn straddles her legs, never breaking it, and cups the Latinas chest, making her moan."Fuck, you can't do that." She takes a few deep breaths then leans their foreheads together, closing her eyes."You have no idea how much I want you." Quinn creases her cheek, smiling."I'm sorry, I got carried away, but I just can't yet." Santana smiles back, opening her eyes."I know." She kisses the blondes palm and sighs."Are you mad?" She's a little taken back by the question and shakes her head."No, I mean it sucks, since you're so gorgeous, but, I can wait. I don't want this relationship to be just sex either." She brushes some hair behind Quinn's ear."To be honest, I didn't want any of my relationships to, but that's all anyone ever saw me as, some sex goddess." Quinn smiles sadly then gives her a soft, and gentle kiss."It's such a shame, cause they missed out on an awesome girl." Santana giggles, lightly blushing, then kisses her back."Gracias."
After a few more minutes of making out, Santana takes Quinn back home, and walks her to the door."Thank you so much for tonight, San. I haven't actually gone on a lot of dates, but this one is for sure my top five." Santana giggles then pulls her in slow kiss, savoring the feeling of having the blonde's lips on hers."I don't have any to compare this to, but I don't need to, to know it's my favorite." They continue to kiss until the porch light turns off, then on again."Shit, that would be my mom." She glances into the door window, biting her bottom lip."It's been awhile since she's done that." Both girls laugh and get one last kiss in."Goodnight, San." She waves and blows her a kiss, walking back to the car."Goodnight, Quinn. See you tomorrow." She winks then slides int the car, Quinn watches as she drives down the road, then goes inside smiling. Judy is siting on the couch, pretending to be watching tv, as Quinn walks by to greet Charlie."Someone had a good time." Quinn shakes her head."No, someone had an amazing time." Judy laughs to herself then turns the tv off, and walks with Quinn down the hall, to her room."I'm glad you had fun, and I like Santana. You can bring her around here more, of course when your father isn't here." She pauses and kisses Quinn's forehead."And I'll try to be around more too, I'm sorry I wasn't before." Quinn hugs her tightly."It's ok, I know. Stop apologizing, you're trying now, so just focus on that." She kisses her cheek, and squeezes her tightly."Goodnight, mom." Both part ways to their rooms, with Charlie following Quinn. She changes into pj's then climbs into bed, with the lab next to her, then preys the nightmare won't return.
-Authors Note-
So what did you think of their first date? The drama still isn't over of course, but there'll be some fluffy, cute stuff for them to balance it out. I just have to say, Judy is pretty awesome in this chapter. So, you've probably noticed by now that I am a huge Taylor Swift fan. *shrugs* Come on, who isn't? Lol. Btw, how funny is it, that in this story, Santana doesn't like Marley? I just found that kind of ironic, anyway, I hope you liked the chapter . I will also be updating 'Love Hurts' next actually, if you haven't read or followed that yet, get to it Lol. I'm just kidding, but if you haven't, please check it out, you might like it. Give me a review maybe?
