All mistakes are mine.

I hope you all like it!

Santana's POV

"Where the hell is the nurses and the doctors? We've been here for half an hour and all they did was made us fill out some freakin' forms." I said becoming a little frustrated about how the hospital staffs are treating us. We were waiting in emergency room of Lenox Hill Hospital the nearest hospital I could drive Quinn to. "Are you alright?" I asked Quinn who was lying quietly on a bed.

"Yeah, the pain subsided a bit but I still want to make sure I didn't break any bones." She was looking at me biting her lips. Then I remembered what happened before we went in the hospital, THE KISS. The kiss was mediocre, it wasn't even special, there wasn't any fireworks exploding in the sky or the feeling of time stopping. There was no magical fuckin' moment. It was just an ordinary kiss, a lip locking, mouth sucking, tongue battling kiss; but damn I'd be lying if I say that her lips didn't taste good. Thank God there's a good use for that lips aside from her freakin' smile.

"Can you stop smiling because it's kinda infectious, I'm in pain, no wonder there's no nurse or doctor approaching us. We are not good actors, we are not even convincing." She said smirking; her eyes were on my lips mocking me. She didn't just smirk but bit her lips showing me that she knows I was thinking of the kiss.

"You want to be convincing so the nurses will approach us?" an idea pop in my head, she's right we need to make the situation looked like it's an emergency, an urgent need for assistance.

"Well duh?!" she deadpanned; I rolled my eyes and took the opportunity to act on my plan. I put a hand on Quinn's waste and pinched it so hard. "AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… What the fuck Santana?!" Mission accomplished.

"Hi! Can I have the form you filled out?" A nurse approached us after a few seconds; Quinn gave her the form smiling from ear to ear at the nurse. I eyed the nurse from head to foot while she was reading the form; I didn't know you could use a stripper costume in an actual hospital. She was pale, pretty, and sexy and a little slutty if I might add, no wonder Quinn lit up when she saw the nurse.

"So you broke your back before Ms. Fabray?" She said while reading Quinn's form. I didn't know Quinn broke her back before, well, what do I know about Quinn anyway? It's not as if we're friends or anything.

"Yes, when I was at my senior year in highschool, car accident, I had a bad fall this morning and I just want to make sure I'm still intact." She said grinning to the nurse. Is she really this jolly to other person too? I thought she wanted to convince them that she's in pain?

"Were do you feel pain right now Ms. Fabray?"

"At my lower back and little on my ribs." Quinn said while pointing at the areas she felt pain. "And please call me Quinn." I rolled my eyes at her antics, seriously, she's in the hospital and she's hitting on her nurse?! And what the hell is wrong with this nurse batting her eyes to her patient?!

"Okay, Quinn, let me take a look on that, can you sit up?" Quinn nodded and sat up with the help of her nurse. The nurse raised Quinn shirt. "Can you hold this for a while so I can better assess you?"

"Sure." Quinn replied eagerly. The nurse was pressing her fingers on Quinn's ribs and they were grinning at each other.

"Seriously, can you two get a room?" I blurted out, I just can't take it anymore, they're like eye fucking already and I'm just too disgusted to watch them. "And are you supposed to touch her that way? Aren't you supposed to be wearing some gloves or something?"

"Are you a doctor? Nurse? Or in a medical field?" The nurse asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"No."

"Obviously you're not, so let me just do my job and stop being a jealous girlfriend." The nurse countered.

"I am not her girlfriend." What the hell?

"Well, that sucks for you."

"What's that supposed to mean bitch?" She was about to say something when we heard someone cleared a throat from behind us, it was the doctor and thank God he came before I killed Quinn's nurse.

"I think I need to get a coffee, hospital's makes me giddy." I excused myself and walked out of the emergency room to go to the lobby, Quinn didn't need me there anyway, and she can flirt with that slutty nurse all she wants. There was a vendo machine for coffee, but I don't want to disappoint myself with the trashy taste of vendo machines so I settled for a bottle of water and I sat at the lobby to contemplate.

The nurse made me realized that I only knew few things about Quinn, she broke her back when she was in highschool, she owns a small diner, drives a suburban Chevy, owns a penthouse in the heart of Manhattan and has an NYPD friend named Noah Puckerman. Aside from that, I know nothing about her. And after what happened today, what are we now? Does that mean we're friends now? We shared a kiss, the kiss wasn't supposed to happen, but it did and it was a game changer.

I can't say I like her now, but I can say atleast that we have a connection. What I meant was she knows where I live, I also know her place. She helped me get out of the police station last night without a case filed against me, she took me home last night and didn't rape me though I was not in my pants when I woke up, I reciprocated her kindness by driving her to the hospital. Maybe I could call it friendship right?! We're friends now right?! Fuck this! Why was I even thinking of being friends with Dopey Face?! She must have put something in my coffee this morning. I felt my phone vibrated in my pocket it's a message from Quinn.

Dopey Smile: Where are you?

Me: Home. I wonder what her reaction if she thought I left her.

Dopey Smile: You left me? They finished the x-ray I'm just waiting for the result. I'm alone

Me: The slutty nurse left you and now you need me?

Dopey Smile: She's just being nice and beside jealous looks good on you.

Me: You two were flirting, but I don't care. I'm not jealous! I rolled my eyes. She's freakin' impossible.

Dopey Smile: Did you just roll your eyes? How did she know? She's creepy; I looked around to see if she's within the vicinity. I decided not to reply to frustrate her a little bit.

Dopey Smile: You know you have my keys and wallet, so you really need to comeback in my arms.

Me: In your arms? Seriously?! You can do better than that. My phone beeped once more, but I decided not to read it and I stood up to get bottled water for Quinn before I go back in her arms.

I walked to the emergency room and saw Quinn playing on her phone, I walked up to her and sat at the edge of her bed, she lit up immediately when she saw me. I gave her the bottled water and she sat up to take a drink. She kissed me in the cheek after drinking.

"What was that for?" I asked her surprised.

"For coming back in my arms." She replied smirking at me.

"You're such a charmer." I said sarcastically.

"Patients only on the bed, please." I whipped my head to the voice's direction, and saw the slutty nurse holding a big envelop. I stood up from the bed and glared at Quinn's nurse.

"Is this how you treat your patients here?"

"Well I treat my patients like they're family, while bitchy insecure girlfriends I treat otherwise." The slutty nurse retorted. Which made Quinn's jaw drop and she immediately held my hands to not pounce on the nurse.

"Is that my x-ray result?" Quinn asked her nurse, obviously wanting to break the thick tension between me and her nurse.

"Yes, I've already page your doctor and he's on his way to read the result to you." Quinn nodded in response, not letting go of my hands and drawing patterns on my skin to calm my nerves. After a few minutes we saw the doctor walking towards us, the nurse handed the brown envelop to him.

"Your scans are clear; there are no broken bones just bruises on your lower back and on your ribs, were you holding something while you fell?" the doctor asked.

"Not something, someone." Quinn looked at me and the nurse also diverted her gaze from Quinn to me.

"I accidentally pushed her hard." I admitted feeling guilty of why we ended up in the hospital.

"Oh looks like someone love it rough." The nurse whispered, but was audible enough for the 4 of us to hear.

"It's not what you think. She teased me and I pushed her a little hard…" I saw Quinn's giggling and I realized what I just said. "Oh God, I shouldn't have used tease, push and hard in the same sentence." I face palmed myself from embarrassment. Quinn was having the time of her life and was controlling to not laugh so hard.

"Naughty." The nurse coughed out the word making me glare at her.

"Okay, I will be prescribing you pain killers for your back pain, I suggest you take a week off from work and refrain from stretching and lifting if at all possible. If after a week the pain is still there come back here so we can do further test, but so far I don't see history from the car accident is affected by this fall." The doctor handed the x-ray results and prescriptions to Quinn.

'You're good to go, stud!" The slutty nurse winked at Quinn. She was giving Quinn some instructions which I wasn't listening into, I was about to step away from them when I realized that Quinn's hands were still on my wrist. She tugged me closer to her and gave me a questioning look.

"You take care of the bill; I'll get the car and meet you at the entrance." I explained, making her nod and released her hold from me. I went to the parking lot to get Quinn's Chevy and waited for a little while; when I saw her at the entrance I start up the car to pick her up.

"So you're just being a cry baby, huh? There's really no broken bones, stud." I teased Quinn, repeating the nickname the nurse gave her, when she entered her car.

"Well, I really need to make sure I'm not broken again, there's nothing wrong in being paranoid once in a while. I just want to start on therapies again." There was seriousness on her voice; the car accident must have been really terrible. I don't want to invade her about personal questions because I don't really know where the level of this friendship stands so I just shrugged it off.

"So, where to?"

"I really like to have lunch now, I'm really starving. I know a place down town who serves great Italian food." She rubbed her tummy dramatically.

"Italian sounds good, show me the way."

QSQSQSQSQSQS

"So we're friends now huh?!" I asked, engaging in small talk with Quinn while eating in an Italian restaurant.

"I thought we already were since day one." She nonchalantly replied. "And this is our second date, right?" she grinned at me.

"What made you even think that this is a date?"

"Look, we are eating lunch in a cozy restaurant together, just the two of us. You even question the status of our relationship. I say we're not just friends but we're dating." She quirked her eyebrows at me smiling from ear to ear.

"Dating? Seriously, don't you get even tired of this? You're going to tease me, we're going to banter, then you're going to pull out some joke or trick, then I'm going to be pissed off but before I could react you'll find a way to get out of the situation. It's beginning to be a cycle and it's getting old."

"Wow, I didn't know our relationship is being routinary." She said thoughtfully, but obviously teasing.

"There you're starting to tease again." I called her out.

"Fine." She stood up and walk across the table and stop at my side, she extended her hand. I looked up at her with confusion. "I think we started in a wrong foot, maybe we can start all over again with clean slates or whatever." She wiggled her hand again. "Hi! My name is Lucy Quinn Fabray."

"Lucy is your first name?" she rolled her eyes at my question, she's obviously uncomfortable with her first name which made me giggle. I stood up and shook her hand. "And I'm Santana Lopez."

"It's nice to meet you Santana." She grinned at me; I shook my head in how absurd the situation was. "So we're friends now huh?" she pulled my chair gesturing me to sit down again, she assisted me in sitting on the chair. She whispered something incoherent about gentlewoman, and then she took her sit again.

"So we're friends now huh?" she repeated my previous question.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Great, so will you go on a date with me?" she grinned devilishly.

"What?!"

And we're back to square one.
