Chapter 3
The following day, Brittany woke up early and she could already feel the nerves starting to build up. She will be seeing Jackie today and just thinking about the girl makes her want to crawl into bed and hide from the world. Despite all the warnings from Quinn and her friends she still went ahead with the relationship. She thought she can handle an open relationship but she grew more and more jealous of Jackie's relationship with other women and men for that matter. When Brittany finally got the confidence to ask her to be exclusive the girl shot her down and left. She was devastated afterwards, Jackie never even called or texted her and now she's back and Brittany was determined not to get sucked in by Jackie's charm again.
After a quick breakfast of toast and coffee, Brittany decided to jog in Central Park to clear her head. She had been dancing less and less this last couple of months and she decided to make up for it by running around the park every other day. She changed into her sweats and checked if her ipod was charged before stepping out of her apartment.
Santana woke up at 11:30 am glad that she was able to sleep in and recover from the stressful week. Then she remembered that today was the party and groaned, she wasn't really a big fan of parties especially parties with complete strangers although she had her fair share of wild parties during high school and college. She had a tight knit group of friends that she sees from time to time and she enjoyed quiet intimacy instead of exchanging social pleasantries with people she doesn't know. But she gave her word to Brittany and she had to admit that having lunch was easily the highlight of her week, it beats eating at her desk going over hundred of emails day after day.
After fixing her bed, she went out of her room and saw Quinn in the kitchen stirring something in a pot.
"So you finally decided to get out of bed. Late night?" Quinn asked her roommate.
"Yeah, it was either I do overtime or work this weekend and seeing that my evil roommate made plans for me without my knowledge I had no other choice." Santana replied sarcastically.
Quinn just laughed knowing full well that Santana was born to be a smart ass although few people know it. They usually saw a quiet, serious girl but she can be a real charmer once you get to know her and her snark is all part of the Lopez charm.
"Set the table, I made pasta and there's still coffee if you want some." Quinn said turning off the stove.
Santana followed Quinn's orders without protest since she could feel her stomach grumbling.
They ate in silence and Quinn was the first one to break it.
"So are you ready for this evening?" Quinn asked her roommate with a sly grin on her face.
"Ugh, I hate you for dragging me into this." Santana shot back.
"I was just cashing in on a debt besides it's your chance to go out and have some fun. Being a hermit is not really your style." Quinn said cocking an eyebrow at Santana.
"Whatever Quinn, I just want to get this over with and maybe help out Brittany." Santana said, sincere about helping out the the girl.
"So tell me about this girl that's the cause of all this shit. Brittany was not exactly keen on discussing her." Santana asked Quinn
"You mean Jackie, the green eyed bitch?" Quinn said and Santana just nodded her head.
"Well Brittany met her through her one of her gigs, her family are pretty loaded and they're members of some organization that frequently sponsors charity events and it just so happens that Brittany was performing in one of them. She already had a reputation but Brittany was smitten right away. That bitch is one smooth operator and Brittany fell for her but she made it clear that she doesn't want to be tied down to anyone and she left overseas leaving Britt broken hearted. I mean that bitch doesn't even have a proper job, she just leeches of her parents money." Quinn said feeling indignant by what happened to her friend.
