I tried to make this chapter a little bit longer than the last so I hope you enjoy it. And this is my first cliff hanger XD. im so evil. Disclaimer : I don't own glee.
When You're Worried
To say Santana Lopez was pissed would be an understatement. She had just got finished doing an 8 hour graveyard shift at the diner when she stumbled into the apartment at 6 am. And just as she finished changing out of her uniform and was about to plop down on the couch, Kurt and Rachel's alarms went off. "Oh God, not now" Santana thought to herself. But sure enough, her two roommates emerged from their rooms and proceeded to annoy the crap out of her.
"Morning Santana, are you just getting in from work?" Rachel asked in somewhat cheery tone.
"Morning to you too, Rach. Listen, I've had a long night so you and Lady Hummel need to-"
"Hold that thought, I just saw Kurt headed for the bathroom and he knows it's my turn to go first," Rachel says, leaving Santana standing in the living room. Less than 20 seconds later, Santana hears them arguing.
"You snooze you, lose Rachel." she heard Kurt say.
"Kurt, I need to go first. I have longer hair and it takes longer to shampoo."
"And then I get stuck with last bit of conditioner in the bottle? Not happening again Rachel. Sorry."
"That only happened twice. You're overreacting." But Kurt just shut the door in her face. Santana, thinking the worse was over, finally settled down on the couch which also served as her bed. Something didn't feel right though. "What the hell?" she thought. She looked under the cover to see little pieces of popcorn and other crumbs on the couch. "You've got to be kidding me."
"Berry!" She yelled. Her roommate came back into the living room, attempting to brush her hair without a mirror.
"What's up?" she asked innocently. That just made Santana angrier.
"What's up? Oh I don't know, maybe it's all these crumbs on the couch that I sleep on. Do you guys want a mouse infestation? One day I'm going to wake up, and fucking Mickey is going to be sitting on my chest. That's what's up!" she shouted.
Rachel stood there trying to think of something to say. She knew the latina was pissed and she wasn't trying to anger her anymore. The truth was that she and Kurt had a movie marathon the night before, which included cheating on their diets and pigging out on whatever they could find. They hadn't even expected Santana to come home so early.
"I'm so sorry Santana," she said. "Kurt and I were too tired to cleanup last night so we were going to do it this morning. We didn't even know you'd be home right now," she explained.
"I just got off work. Where else would I have gone?"
"I assumed you would go to Dani's," Rachel said, hoping the mention of her name will make Santana less angry. It worked to a small degree.
"Well you were wrong," Santana said in a quieter voice, though she was still pissed. A part of her had wanted to go over Dani's place instead of going home. She craved sleeping in Dani's arms. She enjoyed those moments when she woke up first and could just stare at her slumbering girlfriend. She liked being able to place soft kisses all over her face and neck until she woke up. She loved when they had breakfast together.
But none of that has happened in the last week in a half. Aside from work and the occasional early morning/late night phone calls, she hasn't seen or talked to her girlfriend much at all. Whenever Santana wanted to hang out or even just talk, Dani would give her some lame-ass excuse about why she can't. Santana didn't know what to do and she was debating on whether she should tell Kurt and Rachel so they could offer some advice. Well she was debating it until she came home this morning.
"I'm really sorry Santana. And I'm sure Kurt will be too." As if on cue, Kurt walked out of the bathroom, looking fresh-faced and dapper as always. He joined them in the living room.
"What's going on in here? Are you two arguing over what to make for breakfast again, because honestly Santana, vegan pancakes are not that bad," he said. Behind Santana, Rachel was doing her best to give her best friend the "Shut up, you're making it worse" sign, but it was too late.
"Look Porcelain, I put up with you and the Hobbit's morning ritual bullcrap almost everyday with very little complaining," she says getting close to Kurt's face.
"You complain a lot," Rachel adds, but Santana ignores her and continues her rant.
"And the one time I really need some peace and quiet, you two can't give it to me," She shouts. "I'm tired, stressed out, and am desperate need of sleep, so can you guys PLEASE keep your mouths shut until you leave?" Kurt and Rachel just shook their heads yes, too stunned to say anything else. They were used to Santana being mad at them, but this time was different. They knew their was something else going on that she wasn't telling them. For the next hour and a half, Kurt and Rachel got ready for school as quietly as possible, while Santana slept.
When Santana woke up a few hours later, the first thing she did was check her phone. She was relieved to see there was a missed call from Dani. Maybe she was finally ready to spend time together. She got up, showered, and got dressed before calling her girlfriend.
Dani picked up on the third ring. "Hey Baby," she greeted. Santana could tell she was smiling.
"Hey, I'm sorry I missed your call earlier. I was knocked out."
"That's right! You worked all night didn't you?" Dani asked.
"Yeah I did. But I'm up and energized now. You want to grab some lunch? I can come over and cook. It could be a mini date, just the two of us," she says, getting excited. She really wanted to see Dani.
"Dani, are you coming back to out here?" a different female voice said on Dani's line. She sounded far off. Santana sat straight up in her chair.
"Who's that?" she asks, trying not to sound sound suspicious and jealous.
"Uh, that's nobody. I can't do lunch today babe, I'm super busy," she says in a hurried tone.
"Busy doing what? I haven't seen you in-" she got cut off.
"I really gotta go San. I love you, bye." And then she hung up. Santana just stared at her phone, mouth gaped open. She didn't know what to think. Actually she did, but she was trying to think of any other possible explanation besides that. There was no way Dani would do that to her. But then why was she so busy all of a sudden? And who was that woman? Not having an appetite anymore, Santana made her way to Rachel's room and settled in her bed. It was an unspoken agreement that the two of them had. When Santana first moved to New York, she would sometimes find herself missing Brittany and Rachel would let her sleep with her. When Finn died, Rachel would often squeeze next to Santana on the couch and Santana would let her cry. Sometimes they talked, sometimes they cried, but mostly they just cuddled and were there for each other.
And that's where Rachel found her that afternoon when she came back from Nyada. "Oh San," she breathed. Santana raised her head from under the covers and looked at Rachel with puffy, red eyes.
"I think Dani's cheating on me."
So that's that chapter. I'm making a part two to this so don't worry all 5 of you that actually read this. I hope I did well. Review if you want ^_^
