One Week

I own nothing.

All mistakes are mine.

I hope you all like it!

Santana's POV

We're back from square one.

The whole "let's start all over again" didn't really help because right after making sure that we were on the same page, that we are now friends, she started to get to annoy me and got into my nerves again.

"So, you need to stay with me for a week." Quinn said out of the blue.

"And why is that?" We were driving back to her apartment, I held the steering wheel tightly, kept my emotions in check because the time Quinn open her mouth to say something stupid I know it will take a toll to my temper, and I don't want to go back to the hospital again.

"You heard what the doctor said I need to rest for a week."

"And so?" I replied not really getting the reason why I needed to stay with her for a week.

"You're the reason why I'm bruised and why my back aches, so you need to stay with me and take care of me."

"Seriously?!" So this was her ploy to guilt trip me for what happened to her?!

"In all seriousness." She said grinning, showing her pearly white teeth I so want to pull out of her mouth and make her bleed to death.

"I may be the reason why you're hurt, but that doesn't mean I am obligated to take care of you." I reasoned out.

"But you just said we're friends now, friends take care of friends." And now she's playing that friendship card. I sighed dramatically, rolling my eyes still facing the road.

"Not if they don't want to."

"Don't you feel guilty?" She pouted, I think she's loosing the battle and thought that her pout can save her.

"No." I said solidly.

"You're such a meanie." She replied using a baby talk voice which I wanted to smile to, but it will looked like I'm giving in so I kept a straight face.

"Thanks for stating the obvious." She huffed on her seat and crossed her arms at my words, I smirked triumphantly it's the first time she gave up in our banter. Finally, I won a verbal fight against Dopey Smile. She took an envelope on the car dashboard, her x-ray envelop and rummage on some paper inside of it.

"Uh-huh!" Quinn expressed her joy of finding a piece of paper from the envelope; she took it out and started to dial a number on her phone. I raised an eyebrow questioning her actions, but she just shrugged me off by facing the window at her side and her phone on her ears. "Hey, hi it's Quinn! No… No… I'm fine; I was just thinking maybe you could take a week off and take care of me... Really?! That's great I'll call you later." After the call she turned to her seat and smirked at me.

"See, you have other friends who are willing to take care of you." I told her.

"My only friends here at NYC are Marley, Jake, Noah and you. Marley and Jake will be working at the diner for the whole week and I can't bother Noah because there are greater people who are in need of his service."

"So who did you just called?" I raised an eyebrow at her, and then looked at her for a second before I faced the road again.

"Stacie, the nurse from the hospital, she seemed nice and caring, she gave me her number told me if I need anything just call her."

"WHAT?!" I abruptly pulled over. "You called that slutty nurse to take care of you?" She nodded making me furious. "And what did she say?"

"She said yes."

"Right, Good Luck with that. Maybe I can go now, now that you have someone who's willing to take care of you." I was about to get out of the car when Quinn pulled me.

"Hey, don't be like that. I'll call her again and write her off if you'll be willing to take care of me." She pouted at me and batted her eyes.

"I got a lot of things to do."

"Come on, you can work through your laptop right?! Or maybe I can stay at your place. I can check the diner every now and then." She said enthusiastically, clapping her hands like a little girl. She would have been cute if I wasn't irritated at her calling that slutty nurse. "We can work it through together. What can you say?! Please say yes!"

"Fine, calm your tits! Just call the nurse and cancel whatever plans you two have."

"I want a clear and final answer, and there's no taking back what you say, yes or no?" She firmly said, I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Yes." I answered with one word making her fist pump. "You are such a dork!" and adorable at times but I will never admit it to her.

"A week can change your life forever." She said cheekily.

"Can you just shut up until we get to your place?" I told her and she acted like she's zipping her lips together, but winked at me. "Please don't make me regret my decision." I said as I start the car.

"So I have four rooms in here, one is my room, then two guest rooms and the room near the dining area is an off-limits room. It's a room where I store all my junk so you don't want to go there because it's just trash there." The off-limit's room made me curious, I mean when she said the word junk, I saw sadness in her eyes but maybe that was just me reading so much with what she said. "So you'll be taking the room besides mine."

"Wait I don't get to choose?"

"I live here and believe me and I know which room is more comfortable."

"Or will be more advantageous for you." I retorted.

"Exactly, so instead of wasting our time arguing about a room maybe we could shower first, so you can get out of that sexy tomb raider outfit." I looked down on my attire and realized that I haven't change from my bad ass clothes.

"Separately." I said firmly.

"Ofcourse, unless you want me to join you." She winked at me. "I'll lend you some of my clothes, there's a towel in the upper right closet of your room." I nodded and then we took our separate ways.

I entered the guest room which will be my temporary room for a week, it was a big room but a little smaller than Quinn's enormous one, it also has an en suite bathroom, a walk in closet, a 42 inch plasma screen attached at the wall adjacent from a king size bed, a couch few inches away from the bed. The bathroom is as big as my room in my apartment; the whole room is already like the size of my apartment. I haven't really asked Quinn about her social status but it's just so obvious how rich she was. I bet she doesn't even need the diner to back up her material needs.

I finally found the closet which the towels were stored and also found a robe with it and place it t the top of the closet. I stripped down my clothed, threw it in a hamper and mentally noted to go home today to get some clothes and my laptop so I can work here and I can still be productive for a week.

"HOLY SHIT!" Quinn cursed loudly making me look at her flushed face, then it dawned on me, I was naked.

"WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted at the same tone Quinn did when she saw me. I tried to reach for the robe and towel to cover myself, but I was too clumsy and it just fell on the floor and when I was about to picked it up, I saw how Quinn's jaw fell on the floor so I just opened the closet door to hid behind it. I peeked and still saw her standing at the door of the walk in closet, her eyes wide and mouth still open. "Get out! What are still doing there! Get out!" I peeked again and she's still immobile, I saw a pillow inside the closet and pulled it to throw in to Quinn's direction. Fortunately, it hit her waking her up from whatever fantasy she was having.

"Wow!" It was the first word she uttered after going back to reality. But she still did not make any effort to move her ass out the door.

"Fabray! You need to fucking get out of here so I won't try to kill you from sneaking up at me." I shouted angrily.

"I…. I w-wasn't sneaking up o-on you, I swear! I just brought some clothes f-for you to ch-change." She stuttered her words obviously still stunned with what just happened, which made me laugh out loud. "What's funny?!"

"You! You are such a dork! Is this your first time to see a naked woman?" I pulled another pillow and threw it to her. "Now if you don't mind, I would like to wash up the embarrassment in the shower and move on with this, let's start on you walking away from this room."

"Right. I'll be at the living room." She said, I peeked after a few seconds and she's gone. I breathed out, relieved that she's gone. I closed the closet door which I used to hide myself; I was about to picked up the robe when she came back again.

"What the freakin' hell Fabray! Are you some crazy pervert because it makes me want to rethink my stay here for a week?" I said while I picked up the robe and quickly put it on. There's no need to hide anymore, I mean she already saw me twice.

"No… I'm sorry! I just thought you'll have something on you when I go back, and I didn't go back to sneak up on you, and I'm not some kind of a perv, it's just that..."

"Stop rambling and tell me the reason why you're here." I said irritatingly and rolled my eyes.

"Clothes…. I forgot to leave it a while ago." She waved the clothes she was holding and tentatively walked to place it down on the table that was situated in the middle of the room, and then she stood there frozen on her place again like she don't know what her next step is.

"Fabray! Oh my god! Don't make this situation awkward like it obviously is, for the nth time I'm going to shower and I want you out when I'm finish." I passed at her side and went straight to the bathroom.

After I finished taking a bath and putting on the clothes Quinn left in the walk in closet, there was no reason left for me to postpone facing Dopey Smile. When I got out of the room, she was siting stiffly on one end of the couch, obviously dreading to face me as well. I went to sit at the other end of the couch.

"We need to talk." I stated after a few minutes of silence.

"I figured." She hastily said.

"Well smart ass, since I will be staying here for a week and considering what happened earlier in the room, I think we need to establish some house rules." I asserted.

"House rules?" She repeated thoughtfully and I nodded in confirmation. "Sure, but you need to answer one question."

"What?" I asked impatiently.

"Isyourtitsreal." She spoke too fast I didn't get what she said.

"I don't understand." I raised an eyebrow in confusion. She sighed like she needed to get the words out of her system or she'll never get a sleep.

"ARE YOUR TITS REAL?" she emphasized each word.

"You really want this conversation to be awkward, huh?!" I face palmed myself.

"You haven't answered my question, so are those big things real?" She eyed my rack and bit her lower lip.

"Are you sure you're not a nymphomaniac?" I crossed my arms to protect my boobs from Quinn's intense stare.

"Whoa! Just don't answer my question with another question, and then we'll move on. So are they real?"

"What do you think?"

"I said don't answer my question with another question." She scratched her head restlessly.

"Fine, I guess I can tell you things about myself since we already established the friendship." She nodded and smiled, and I was internally thankful for her not opening her mouth for a comment. "It was in high school and it was a stupid decision. I just started on our school's cheering squad and I thought that an implant will boost my self-confidence, but I was wrong it took a toll on my performance making me quit the squad on my first year. But I have fell inlove with cheering so after a few months I decided to take them off, and re-joined the squad the next year." I ended my story with a shrug.

"Santana Lopez was an insecure cheerleader in highschool, that's interesting. Well, Santana Lopez has become a confident, independent, not to mention a sneaky Graphic Designer, very far from her high school persona and I'm sorry for making you relive your high school horror." She genuinely said. I smiled at her sincerity, making me feel weird things in the pit of my stomach.

"We learn from our mistakes, so house rule?" I interjected the rule again not wanting to delay things any longer, she nodded. "I actually only have few things; and that is to respect each other's boundaries, I know this is your place but I'm going to stay at the guest room for a week, so I would appreciate it if you don't go inside without my permission and vice versa."

"Cool, I'm really sorry about the incident earlier." She apologized looking at me in the eyes, I realized that she have brown specks in it, interesting. "And maybe we could go to your place today so we can get some of your things."

"I was going to suggest that as well. Can we go now?"

"Sure." We both stood up and walked to the door. "Can I just say for the last time that your tits are amazing?" She said before opening the door.

"Yeah, I got that because you can't stop drooling." She was shock with my playful banter and we both laughed together.

This will be a very long week.
