Santana's P.O.V.
Lima fucking Ohio. This was never somewhere I thought I'd be. It should be called loserville Ohio. This fucking town is as big as my fucking backyard but luckily Tio got me a house that seems to be a nice size. On the way here all the houses look small and it was so much fucking farm land, I mean shit what the fuck do they have here besides corn? This place looks like the set of a horror movie and now I'm glad Puck decided to come along.
"Home sweet home right?" He says as he stands next to me with our bags.
"More like god why have thou forsaken me?" I say as I unlock the door. I push it open and the inside looks nice. Big living room, fully furnished. Hmm, maybe this won't be so bad. Puck walks in with the bags and I go to the taxi, grab the last of our bags then pay the driver. He leaves as I carry the bags in the house. I close the door sit the bags down then start my exploration of the house. I look around the kitchen then down the hall from the kitchen. There's two bedrooms, a bathroom and a door to the basement. I walk back through the living room and past the stair case and into a dinning room. After that I go upstairs and find another bathroom and two more bedrooms.
"Nice job Tio." I say to myself then walk into one of the bedrooms and find Puck lying on a bed.
"Do you know what we can do with this place? The basement is fucking huge so we could turn that into a man cave." He says and I raise my eyebrow.
"A bro cave?" I shrug.
"I guess."
"And did you see the backyard? It has a pool."
"It does?" I ask and he nods.
"Cool but I don't want to be here long enough to enjoy this shit. I want to do what I came here for then get the fucks out." I say and he shrugs.
"Well you came to work. I came to hang out and see what the women of Lima have to offer."
"Probably corn." He scrunches his face in confusion and I roll my eyes.
"Nevermind. Find a restaurant or something if you're hungry because I'm not cooking." I say.
"How aren't you jet lagged? It's like 7 a.m." He says.
"I am tired. I'm going to shower then I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up I will kill you and that is not an idle threat. I will really put a bullet between your eyes." Puck rolls his eyes and throws a pillow at me but misses.
"Get the fuck out of my room." I give him the finger then kick his suitcase over before I go back downstairs. I head to the room that's in the very back and look around. It's the biggest so it has to be the master bedroom. I decide to skip the shower and I bring all my bags in the room then take off this heavy ass winter coat then my hat, gloves and boots. I knew I should have waited until winter ended before I came but I guess the excitement of killing this bastard got to me. I left a week after figuring out my plan. Now that I'm here, all I need to do is find Lucy. I strip down to my bra and underwear and lie under the thick comforter on the bed. I feel my body practically melt into the softness of the bed then I feel myself being lulled to sleep very quickly.
Ugh fuck...why do I hear knocking? Is someone at the door? What the fuck? What time is it? Fuck...I get up and grab my phone. It's 11 now but who cares about that, who the fuck is at my door? I hear more knocking and I groan as I walk towards the door and the person knocks again.
"I'm coming damn it! Hold your fucking horses!" I yell as I grab the door knob. I open the door and freeze my fucking ass off. I forget I'm pretty much naked and in Ohio. I move behind the door hoping it will shield me from the cold air. There's a tall blonde in a powder blue coat with white fur around the hood, bottom and ends of the sleeves. She has on a pair of white boots that make it look like she has two fluffy ass cats on her feet. I grab her arm and pull her inside then close the door.
"It's cold as hell out there." I say and she looks at me confusedly.
"I thought hell was hot? And why'd you tell me to hold my horses? I don't have any horses. I like ponies though and unicorns. I want to catch one but I heard their only at the ends of rainbows with the leprechaun from the Lucky Charms box and his pot of cereal." What...the..fuck? I don't even...I...no comment.
"Okay." I say dragging out the oh.
"Can I help you?" I ask.
"Oh! Yeah my mom said bring these over. I'm Brittany, your new neighbor." She says with a bright smile. She is really beautiful and her eyes are so fucking blue...damn.
"Cool." I say and she nods and thrusts the plastic bowl in her hands towards me.
"Theses are for you. My mom and I made them." She says as I take them. I hear Puck coming down the stairs then I hear him say.
"Who the hell is this?" I roll my eyes.
"Hi, I'm Brittany!" She says and waves at Puck. He stands next to me and takes the bowl from my hands and opens it.
"Sweet! Brownies." He takes one and shoves it in his mouth then walks to the couch. I roll my eyes and shake my head at him.
"I'm Santana by the way and that's Puck. My idiot friend." I say and Brittany giggles.
"Okay, it was nice meeting you guys. If you need anything you can always come over and me or my parents will help and if you just want to hang out you can come over too. You guys could come over now for breakfast if you want. Mom always makes plenty." Brittany says.
"Hells yeah. I'm in." Puck says and I shake my head.
"Thanks for the offer but -"
"Oh come on! You know you want to and my mom is the best cook ever. Please, please?" She says with a pout and I chuckle. This girl is adorable and surprisingly I'm not annoyed by it. I sigh and nod my head.
"Just let me grab some clothes." I say and she squeals in excitement and hugs me. I tense at first and my first instinct is to put her on her ass but I don't think she's a threat, just a genuinely sweet girl. When she releases me I go get ready to go back out into this hellishly cold weather. How do these people deal with this? We go outside and across the street to Brittany's house.
I have never met nicer people in my life. The Pierces' are the sweetest people on the fucking planet and Mrs. Pierce, totally one of the best cooks. After breakfast Mr. Pierce invited Puck to watch a football game with him and even though I want to see it too, I let Brittany drag me to her room. Her room is filled with bright colors but that isn't surprising. When I walk in I see her pick up a really fat cat from her bed.
"This is Lord Tubbington, Lord Tubbington this is Santana." She says as she shows the cat to me. She grabs his paw and makes him wave at me and he meows in displeasure. I fucking hate cats.
"He's grumpy." She says as she sits him on the floor.
"Whatever you do, don't give him any cigarettes. I think he started smoking again." Umm...I nod slowly and we sit on her bed.
"So you guys are from California?" She asks and I nod.
"Do you surf?" She asks and I nod.
"I have and I'm not the best at it but it's fun and relaxing, though we don't all do it.. Have you ever been outside of Lima?" I ask and she nods.
"When I go visit my family but they live in another country." She says and I nod.
"So what do you guys do here for fun?" I ask and she shrugs.
"Anything. It's not a lot to do in Lima but the towns around us have some fun things to do." Brittany says and I nod.
We kept talking for a while then listened to some music then Puck came up and we talked some more. Before we knew it, it was lunch time. Brittany is a really interesting person and I think I like her and that's like a fucking miracle because I never like people I just meet but something about her makes you like her.
"Do you guys want to go to the mall with me? I'm supposed tobe meeting a few friends there now." She says and I shrug.
"Sure." I say and she smiles. My point for coming here was to find Lucy and I can't do that if I'm not social right? Right.
We pile inside Brittany's car and she drives us to the mall. That reminds me, get a car. Puck and I follow Brittany into the mall and we walk until we see a small group of people at a table in the food court. There's a feminine boy with curled hair, an Asian girl and a plump black girl. Well at least I know Lima is diverse. We approach the table and after some introductions I learn that their names are Kurt, Mercedes and Tina. Britt, Puck and I grab some chairs and sit at the table.
"Where's Quinn?" Brittany asks the group. Quinn...where have I heard that name? Oh! That's that Lucy girls middle name. I remember it because it's not a very common name. I haven't met too many Quinns in my lifetime.
"I'm here, sorry guys." I hear and I look up and see this beautiful blonde walking towards the table. Her eyes are a fucking gorgeous hazel and even though she has on a coat, I know her body looks amazing too. She is fucking hot. I think I might need to introduce myself to her because that is definitely an opportunity I can't pass up. She's so hot I think my heart skipped a beat or maybe her smile did that to me.
"I had to do a few things for my father." She says as she grabs a chair and puts it between Brittany and I. She smells so sweet. It's like vanilla but she sort of smells like a flower too, so good.
"This is Santana and Puck. They're new here." Brittany says and Quinn turns her head towards me.
"Santana." I say as I put my hand out to her.
"Quinn." She says with a polite smile as she shakes my hand. Her hands are like silk or something, they're just so smooth. I wonder if the rest of her skin is like that? She pulls her hand back and I instantly miss the contact the second it's gone.
Quinn went on to introduce herself to Puck then the group fell into conversation. I didn't talk much but I observed them. Brittany's friends all seem to be nice, I can tell they used to be full of themselves, well at least Kurt and Mercedes. They like to talk about themselves but try not to let it rule the conversation but Tina on the other hand has no problem talking about herself. Quinn seems to be...really laid back. She's more interested in what they have to say then contributing to the conversation herself.
I can't keep my eyes off of Quinn. Something about her beauty is actually familiar but I know I haven't seen her before. Why is she so familiar? As time passed, everyone started to leave one by one. First Kurt, then Tina then Mercedes. I figured we would leave at the same time Quinn does but before we go, Puck and Brittany have to use the bathroom so they leave Quinn and I at the table. She smiles at me and I feel my heart...do something funny. What the fuck?
"So what the hell brought you to Lima?" She asks and I shrug my shoulders.
"I like to travel." I say then she gives me this confused look and tilts her head to the left.
"So Lima Ohio was on your bucket list of places to see before you die?" She asks.
"No but I just...needed to get away you know? Clear my head." I say and she nods.
"That's sort of why I'm back here. I took the semester off to figure out what I want to do with my life." She says and I nod.
"Well you have time to figure it out. How old are you?" I ask.
"21." She says and I nod.
"Me too."
"So is Puck your boyfriend?" She asks and I laugh loudly. I just couldn't hold it in and her confused expression and nervous laugh made it all the more funny. Once I controlled my laughter I shake my head.
"He's not my boyfriend." I say.
"I figured that from the hysterical laughter."
"He's just my one of my best friends. I don't do guys." Quinn nods and leans forward on the table, her arm supporting her weight.
"That must suck for guys. I know you get hit on all the time." She says and I lean back in my chair.
"What makes you say that?" I ask and she shrugs nonchalantly.
"You're very attractive, you have to get hit on all the time." She says and I smirk.
"Yeah and I have a lot of people trying to flirt with me just like you." I say and her faces flushes and she clears her throat.
"You have to have a lot people flirting with you too right?" I say and I can see the breath of relief she takes. I chuckle to myself and watch as she tries to recover.
"Yeah...I uh...I do but I'm not interested in these Lima losers." She says with a roll of her eyes.
"Where do you go to school?" I ask.
"New York. I go to Colombia."
"Wow I'm impressed, beautiful and smart? You're two for two." I say with a wink and she blushes slightly.
"Well what about you? You go to school?" She asks and I shrug.
"School was never for me. If it weren't for my friend Rachel I probably wouldn't have graduated high school."
"So you just don't want to go to school?" I nod.
"There's nothing you want to do? At all?" She asks and I shrug again. I've never really thought about what I would want to do if I were just a normal person. I'm pretty good with technology though so.
"I don't know. Maybe computer engineering or something like that."
"That sounds cool. Maybe you should look into that?" She says and I shrug.
"Maybe." I say and this satisfies her enough to nod. Puck and Brittany come back at the moment and Quinn and I stand. Brittany hugs Quinn goodbye then we all start to walk in the direction of the door. When we get outside Quinn says goodbye to all of us then starts to walk in the other direction. I stop to bend down and tie the laces on my boot when I hear footsteps crunching in the snow. I glance up and see Quinn walking towards me.
"If you ever need a tour guide, someone to hang out with or just talk to...give me call." She then takes my hand and writes her number on the back of it. When she's finished she gives me a small smile.
"I'll call you." I say before thinking. Why would I tell her that? She nods and says a quiet okay and bye before leaving again. I don't have time for her right now, why would I tell her I'd call her? Why?
I walk back to the car and get into the passengers seat. I don't have to look in the back to know that Puck is smirking is ass off.
"Someone likes you." Brittany says teasingly and I sigh.
"Drive woman." I say and she giggles and starts the car.
She may be hot but I can't get distracted. Maybe I'll talk to her after I finish the job.
