Angel had been blowing up Santana’s cell since the day after the charity show wanting to talk and make amends.  Santana pondered the so called relationship she had ended last weekend.  Sure Angel was hot, but she was just a means to an end – to get Santana off and provide a needed physical release. There was no way that she would ever be anyone serious to Santana which is exactly how the Latina wanted it.  However, Angel was still having a problem with the concept that Santana had broken up with her as Angel had always been the one to call it quits in every other relationship.  Santana texted her back:

S:  I’m tired of rehashing this with u.  Fine, u break up with me.  I don’t care as long as u get it through ur thick skull that we r no longer together.

A:  U will regret this.  Once I walk out the door, I won’t come back.

S:  Somehow I will try 2 manage.

A:  Ur a bitch.  Fuck U.  This is so over.

S:  Yes I am.  Thank u for “releasing” me, ur highness.

A:  Fuck U.

That was the last text that Santana got from Angel that day.  Santana was hopeful that it would be an ongoing trend.

Quinn and Rachel were busy putting the final touches on the birthday party for their friend, Ann.  Quinn had met Ann at work and had taken a liking to her right away.  The three of them had become fast friends over dinner and coffee outings often talking hours on end discussing a wide range of topics.  Outside of conversations with Quinn and Rachel, Ann was a little on the shy side.  She was beautiful girl with a great heart so Rachel and Quinn jumped at the opportunity to throw a party to celebrate the day of her birth and ideally bring her out of her shell a bit.

Earlier that week, Quinn had spoken to both Santana and Demi to invite them to the party under the guise of helping their friend Ann make some new friends.  Santana rolled her eyes when talking to Quinn as she didn’t give a rat’s ass about being best buddies with Ann.  Quinn countered with alcohol, dancing, and being able to hang out with her best friend which won Santana over.

Rachel and Quinn were pleased that their matchmaking efforts were in full force.  In a few hours, they would see if they had set enough of a mood to finally get Santana and Demi together.

Demi and Santana both had busy weeks so they had to settle for just texting each other.  The topic of Angel was avoided as was the obvious sexual tension between the two.  Both felt safe topics were best as neither was sure of the other’s feelings and texts left too much up for interpretation.

When Ann’s party came up in conversation, they were happy to know that they would be seeing each other on Saturday.  Demi spent the rest of the week worrying about what to wear as she fully intended to take this opportunity to make it very clear to Santana her real feelings towards her so she wanted to look her very best.  She was a bundle of nerves as she played out possible scenarios in her head.  Was Santana on the same page of her or was she about to make a complete fool of herself?

On the night of the party, Demi arrived prior to Santana and ended up chatting with Rachel and Quinn for a bit.  Rachel had a perma-smile on her face which almost made her look psychotic.  Demi assumed she was just excited for the evening as Rachel always seemed to have a flare for the dramatic interactions.  When Rachel went to go check on a few items, Demi found herself alone with Quinn.
