SANTANA'S POV

The days passed and with Quinn, everything started to go back to the way it was. My husband is still at home and I am so relieved because my son is starting to talk to me again, but with a lot of pain. Puck is like our mediator, although I would not like to have any conflict with my son.

"Sweetheart?" Calls my husband to me as I hang laundry in my backyard. "What do you say we go out to dinner tonight?" He asks as he puts his hands around my hips.

"Hum... Let me think..." I pretended to think about it. Seeing his face like a beaten dog made me laugh. "Just kidding, of course I would love to." He kissed me and walked back into the house.

My smile faded the minute Quinn appeared in my thoughts. I kind of feel like I'm cheating on her but not really. I mean, we're not together, not by a long shot, but I know I feel something for her that's eating away at my heart and head.

"I'll take the hamburger speciality of the house." Said Puck to the waitress. Suddenly, a head in the distance caught my attention. "With French fries of course." He joked with the waitress but this didn't even bother me because I was so confused about who had just entered the restaurant. "And you, babe? What do you want to order?"

"Um smoked salmon with potatoes." I said, still looking at the woman at the entrance.

"All right, I'll bring this to you." Said the waitress as she left.

"San?" Puck asked, looking in the direction I was looking. But when he looked, the woman had already left to sit at a table. "You okay?"

Suddenly, my eyes opened wide in realization.

I know who it is! She was at Quinn's birthday party. And I think she is the reason for the blonde's escape.

Who is this woman?

"Santana? Do you listen to me when I talk to you?" My husband's voice brought me out of my thoughts. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. Excuse me, I just realized that I have to go shopping soon. I think I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow morning." I answered him by finding an excuse quickly.

"Women... You have so much on your mind haha." I pretended to laugh, but the woman from earlier intrigued me greatly. I need to see Quinn and ask her who she is. I really want to know, from her reaction to her birthday, I can see that she has or suffers a lot from this woman.

S: Hey Quinn, how's it going?

Q: Hola San, I'm doing good and you?😊

S: Not too bad. Are you busy today? I mean, after work?

"Babe?" Calls me Puck as he enter the room. "I'm going to the senior baseball game with Marcos this afternoon. You don't mind? They are the old people of the city, we will have a good laugh."

"No, I was going to go shopping like I told you yesterday and then seriously? Making fun of old people doing sports? How old are you? 15?" Sometimes I feel like he and Marcos are my children. He can be so immature sometimes.

He laughed and came to kiss me but I turned my head away as his kiss landed on my cheek. Which confused him.

"What's going on? I feel like you're avoiding my touches and kisses. We haven't even slept together once since I got home. You have a lover, don't you?" He asks with a laugh.

Fuck. Does he know about Quinn? I mean, he's an agent, so... Fuck. I pray not.

"No... Nunca." I pretended to laugh and he left. I looked at my phone and saw an answer from Quinn.

Q: I'm just working at the school today. And no, I don't have any plans this afternoon, why? Did you want to see me?

S: No.

Q: Oh sorry, I thought...☹️

Her reaction made me laugh. Of course I want to see her, I haven't seen her in almost two weeks and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss her.

S: Just kidding. What do you say we get together? Go shopping?

Q: With pleasure, I will be happy. What do you say I pick you up at 2pm? 😊

S: Perfecto.

I'm going to see Quinn again.

This feeling in my heart scares me so much. But I can't help but feel something strong for her. Whether it's friendship or... Maybe more...?

I went to take a shower, which took me almost an hour. I put on a beige dress, did my hair and put on a little make-up. I still want to look good in front of her. Maybe even beautiful for her.

Finally ready, Quinn sent me a message to tell me that she is waiting for me in front of my house. I didn't bother to answer her and went straight out of my house.

When my eyes fell on hers, the world stopped. She's just gorgeous. She wears a simple little white dress but it remains chic. I got out of my tranny and got into her car.

"Hey." I said with a smile. She murmured a little hi and, catching me off guard, she took me in her arms.

"I missed you." She laughed.

"I missed you too." I laughed back. We looked at each other for a few moments and she started the car.

Arriving at the nearest mall, Quinn parked in the outside lot and we entered the mall.

We went to a few fashion stores until the blonde wanted to take a pee break. While she was in the bathroom, an idea came to my head when I saw this waffle shop.

"Would you like to go to H&M? I-"

"Let's go buy some food in a food store. I have an idea of what we can do later." I interrupted her.

"Of what we could do later?" Without looking at her face, I knew she was blushing like a tomato at the sound of her voice. "I mean, if you're hungry, we can go to a restaurant. My treat!"

"No haha. Let me do it." We entered the store and I took all the necessary ingredients for the recipe I was going to make with Quinn. I really want to get to know her more. I want to spend more time with her. Not just going to lunch as friends who see each other once a week. I want to go shopping with her and ask her advice on what jacket looks good on me or what shoes I should get because her opinion is so important to me.
