Santana smiled as she walked into her office the next day. She had parted with Quinn only several hours ago on their second date. She sat down and sipped her coffee while she went over the previous nights events.
"I like this whole dating thing." Quinn whispered against the Latina's lips. She smiled as her fingers tangled in silk lochs, pulling the blonde closer. Quinn whimpered into the kiss, "Do you have idea idea what this movie is about?"
"No clue." Santana smiled, pressing her lips against the blondes again. Behind them a abrupt cough rang out, which caused both women to blush and pull away. Quinn cuddled into the Latina's side and they finished the movie. They left after it was done and Santana walked her to her door.
"I'll see you soon, right?" Quinn asked, as she leaned against her apartment doorframe. "I mean, I know that we've been out twice in two days… I don't wanna seem needy… I mean…" Quinn was cut off by Santana pressing her lips against the rambling blondes.
"I'll call you tomorrow." Santana smiled.
"You look happy." Kurt exclaimed as he came and sat across from his friend. "I take it the date went well."
"It did." Santana replied, "We went out both saturday and sunday."
"Ooo. Dinner then breakfast?" He winked.
"No." Santana corrected him, "I'm more honorable than that." She scowled when he gave her a look that said 'yeah right.' "No, seriously. We haven't… I like her and I'm not gonna fuck that up."
"Wow." He lit up with a cheshire grin. "My little girl is growing up." He said as he stood up to go to his class.
"Die." She mumbled, turning her attention to her computer screen. A few hours later Santana looked up when she heard a knock on her door. She looked up into green eyes.
"Echo." Santana stated, as she saw her girlfriends daughter. "How are you today."
"I'm… I'm okay." She stated as she came and sat down on the chair.
"What's wrong?" Santana asked, cocking her head to the side.
"My daddy didn't call me last night." Echo mumbled, her hair falling in front of her eyes. "He calls me on Sunday."
"I'm sorry. Maybe he just got busy and couldn't get to a phone." She said, trying to give hope to her.
"I don't know." She sighed, "I lied to my mom about it. She came home last night, and she asked if he called. I said yes."
"Why didn't you tell her the truth?"
"Because, she seemed happy. She hasn't been happy." Santana tried not to smile to herself when Echo reveled that Quinn was happy, "When she finds out that daddy didn't call she would be sad again."
"I'm sure she's just worried about you, sweetheart." Santana said, "She just wants you to be okay, even though your daddy is not here with you." Echo shrugged and played with the bracelet on her wrist. Santana opened her mouth to speak again when her phone rang. "I'm sorry, Echo. I gotta take this." The little girl nodded and stood up and waved as she walked out of the door.
"Santana Lopez." She answered, preparing herself for what was likely a scolding from a parent.
"Hey." Quinn's voice husked through the receiver. Santana smiled as she leaned back in her chair and let out a sigh. "How are you?"
"So good, now that I know i'm not gonna get yelled at by a students parent…. Unless, are you calling about E?" Santana asked quickly, hoping that she wasn't jumping to conclusions.
"I'm calling for you." Quinn chuckled, "Unless, Elizabeth has done something I don't know about."
"No she's good, at school at least. She was actually just in here."
"Really?" Quinn asked, "What's up, is she getting picked on?"
"No, she's doing well at school. I don't know, Q. I don't think I can tell you everything she says at school. You understand that right?"
"Yeah, yeah." Quinn whined. "It's fine. I just wanted to call and say hi."
"Hey." Santana flirted, "If I wasn't in school right now, trust me this would be a very different phone call."
Quinn let out a giggle that Santana knew was followed by a blush, "good to know, maybe I'll send you a text later."
"Sweet." Santana grinned, "I'll talk to you later, Quinn."
"Bye."
