CHASING MEMORIES
August 25, 2013
Santana's POV
"I can't believe I finally have a place to call my own." she thinks to herself, as she glides her fingertips across the marble counter tops in the kitchen. After a year of trying to find myself and dealing with "the odd couple" Porcelain and Hobbit, here I stand in a beautiful apartment in Tribeca NY. Having worked long hours at the bar and a million and one open mic contests, I'm lucky enough to be financially…Ok. Of course, I have to share my place with two other girls, but hey I got here first and since the first name on the lease is mine, guess what…I'm the HBIC. With that being said, it's only fitting that the master bedroom be mine, which by the way has the best view, just sayin'.
Santana decides to officially claim her throne by hanging up clothes in her walk-in closet. While she waits for her roommates she wonders if signing a lease with two women who have had such an impact on her life, was such a good idea. Having dated one and slept with both, she had to have been crazy or drunk to take the plunge and decide to live together.
"Where the hell are they?" she wonders. Just then she hears the rattling of keys and a door slam shut.
"Well, Well, Well…look who finally decided to show up." Santana says while walking into the living room with her signature smirk.
"Don't start Satan, I would have been here twenty minutes ago, but guess who was downstairs trying to figure out how to get Lord Tubbington upstairs without having him freak out over his fear of heights?" Quinn responded with a nod towards the door.
"Hey San, sorry we're late. You know how he feels about heights." Brittany coos. "I told him to keep his blindfold on and chew gum for the ear popping, but after the first flight of stairs he was a goner. "
Santana smiles at Brittany, while the blonde returns the gesture and walks over to hug the Latina. It's crazy to think that they could even be in the same room, much less sharing an apartment together after the emotional aftermath of Brittana. After hours of talking and tears, both girls decided that it was time for their friendship to get back on track and Brittany's acceptance into NYU's performing arts program was just the push they needed.
Both girls turn to find Quinn smoothing out her sun dress. Santana's forehead crinkles and she smirks. She can't remember a time when Quinn looked so nervous to see her.
"Get over here Fabray!"
Quinn smiles and starts to walk over, but not before giving Santana food for thought.
"Aw, you getting soft on me Tana? Since when are you the hugging type?"
"Hmmm let's see, you try sharing a loft with Lady Hummel and Berry for a year, without letting their drama infested antics rub off on you." Santana replied.
Quinn wraps her arms around the slightly shorter brunette and thinks back to Valentine's Day.
After she called it quits with her Yale professor and had to attend Mr. Shue's Not-Wedding, all she wanted to do was have a few drinks and dance the night away. Boy did she get more then she bargained for. After getting tipsy with Santana and managing to stumble up to her hotel room, she found herself doing a lot more than just drinking and dancing. When that door shut behind them in that room, she saw a whole new side to the Latina. Never in a million years did she think that her long-time frenemy could make her feel so amazing and vulnerable at the same time. That night Santana brought her to ecstasy, not once, but four times. The feeling of having someone worship her and knowing that in a matter of hours it would all be over, was bittersweet. Lucky for her there was very little awkwardness between them in the months that followed. They had exchanged numerous text messages and several phone calls. In fact, it was Santana's idea for Quinn to move in, after she learned that Quinn would be transferring to NYU in the fall.
Quinn is snapped out of her flashback when she feels another set of arms wrap around her and Santana.
"This is gonna be great! Just like sex in the city, except less sex and more city. I'm ready to go site seeing." Brittany says with a huge grin.
"Britt-Britt" Santana starts, "Did you forget we have orientation in about two hours? We will see the sites after. OK?"
"Okie Dokie San. So where should I park my Rainbow Brite and Unicorn collections?"
"Hmmm, looks like you and Q will have to duke that out, cuz the master suite has already been christened by yours truly." Santana answers.
"Really Santana? You couldn't even wait for us before claiming your territory, like some barbaric cave man?" Quinn retorts with a raised eyebrow.
The Latina replies with a simple "Nope. So get your things in order and meet back in the living room in an hour. I already know my way around campus thanks to a few drunken hook-ups and we can't be late for orientation."
With that the three of them spend the next hour settling into their fully furnished apartment, thanks to some rich daddy birthday funds that Santana had stashed away. This is going to be an interesting year.
