Santana fell back breathless against the bed as Quinn slowly climbed from her lap, laying next to her and snuggling into her side. "Fuck...". Panted the latina. "We are definitely...doing that..again."
Quinn smiled into her girlfriends neck and hummed contentedly. "definitely.". She mirrored. Her eyes were shut and the slowing pace of the latinas heartbeat began to lull her to sleep.
The two girls had been locked in their room rediscovering each other since they arrived. Both hungrily taking each other in. New scars, new sayings, different smiles. Although they had known one another most of their lives, the past five years had changed them both.
"Do you think they're ok?". The latinas voice vibrated through her chest causing Quinn to stir and slowly open her eyes.
"Britt and Addison?." she questioned, leaning up and resting her head on her left hand. Santana nodded. The blonde hummed as she traced the long raised scar on her girlfriends chest, leaning over and placing a kiss on it. She knew Santana hated the scar, but the Yale student loved it. It was a sign that her girlfriend. Her soulmate had made it. That she was alive and strong and she wasn't going anywhere soon. "I'm sure they're fine babe.". She pressed another kiss to the scar.
"But Addy...she has nightmares, and they're sharing a room and-"
"Baby, shhh. They'll be fine.". She ran her hand over the tan girls crinkled brow. "Britt has an idea of what happened to Addy, she'll look after her.".
At the admission of Brittany's knowledge of her best friends past, Santana shot upright. "What!? You told Brittany!? The fuck Q". She pushed back and grabbed a discarded t shirt, pulling it over her head.
"I didn't tell her anything San...honest.". Urged the blonde as she tucked the sheets under her arms, feeling exposed now the latina was partially clothed. "I...I just warned her that Addison had been through some stuff, told her not to mess her around...Honest.". She ended in a whisper.
Santana instantly calmed and grasped the blondes hand. "Gah, Quinn...I'm sorry I just...she doesn't talk about it a lot and it must've taken so much courage for her to open up to you...I couldn't bear for her trust to be broken.".
"It's understandable babe...". The blonde looked at their joined hands nervously. "But I wanted to talk to you about something...and I don't think you're gonna like it.". Her voice trembled slightly as Santana urged her to continue with her eyes.
"Addison...she...at the hospital. Ugh!". The blonde closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose before shaking her head and continuing. "She was worried about you. She knew you still had feelings for me and she certainly could see how I felt.". A pause. "Long story short S, is she was terrified. She broke down. Told me about your-"
"-the jazz club.". Cut off the latina. Her voice sharp. "I...the...she..". Tears welled up in Santana's eyes. "She betrayed me.". She whispered.
"No! No, she didn't San. She was worried. And so am I.". A tear ran from the brunettes eye and Quinn wiped it away with the pad of her thumb. "She was just looking out for you baby. And to be honest, I'm glad she did. Everything needs to be out in the open with us. No more secrets babe. The only things I want in this relationship are you and me.".
The smaller girl nodded and quickly wiped another tear away. Quinn smiled and leant forward and pressed a kiss to plump lips before leaning back and sighing. "I brought us away for the weekend so we could air everything out in a neutral environment. So when we went back home, it would be a fresh start.". The blonde looked deeply into perfect chocolate eyes. "If it's too much, we can stop. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. And you can ask me anything too.".
Santana took a shakey breath and nodded. "Can we lay down for this?.". Quinn smiled and lifted the sheets, the latina crawled under them and they both lay on their sides, foreheads touching, hands joined and eyes locked. "I..I'm talking about it in therapy. The Ra...the Jazz club incident.". Quinn rubbed soothing circles o the back of the brunetts hands, encouraging her to carry on. "I don't think I can talk about it here...but maybe you could come to a session?".
The blonde smiled. "Of course my love. But only if you're sure.". Santana shakily nodded her head.
"Rose said it was time I start bringing you in. Addy too...maybe even Brittany for a session". Quinn squeezed her hands. "I just wanna heal Q. I wanna move on. I want to find a career, get married, have kids...". Santana knew she was risking her heart putting all that out there but Quinn said she wanted total honesty, so she was being totally honest!
The blonde blinked several times. Santana had basically read her mind. "I want all that too Tana...it's all I've ever wanted with you.". The latina smiled widely. "I know we haven't been dating long and everything is new and uncertain...but I am sure about one thing.". The hazel eyed girl quickly crawled out of their shared bed and ran over to her jacket. Slowly Santana sat up, her head tilted slightly and a half smile playing on her lips.
"What are you doing Q?". She asked amused.
The blonde turned around and quickly made her way back over to the bed, pulling Santana's legs until they hung over the edge. Sitting up tall on her knees she looked into the eyes of the girl she had loved since forever. "I know it's fast and it's probably stupid...and it's sudden and-".
"Quinn...baby, you're rambling!."laughed the latina.
Quinn smiled and took a breath. "Almost losing you made me realise how much I need you in my life. San, I can imagine us growing old together, going to the local coffee shop every Sunday for breakfast together. I can see our beautiful children, you chasing them around our garden as they laugh loudly. I can see it all and more.". She paused for a moment before continuing. "I love you so much Santana. And I'm not saying lets do it straight away, but I'm asking if maybe one day. In the future, you'll do me the honor of both of becoming my wife?.".
Both girls had happy tears as Santana tackled the blonde to the floor. Quinn laughing and shakily grabbing the latinas hand and sliding a diamond engagement ring onto her finger. "I've wanted to say that for so long.".
"I've wanted to hear it for so long."
Their lips crashed together. Tongues tasting happy tears as they once again became lost in each other.
