Working Weekend

Quinn smiled gently as Santana spoke. It was nice to hear. “Sólo desearía que no hubiera terminado.” She said quietly. “We wouldn’t be considering the what ifs.” They were in dangerous territory, as two married women in the public eye. Sure, unless a member of the paparazzi spoke Spanish they were relatively safe, but their actions and spoken English were borderline, at best.
At the hand taking hers, Quinn sighed. Looking up at the other woman, she sighed. “That would be lovely, honestly.” She removed her hand from Santana’s and flagged down their waiter. Who would leave and return with their bill and to-go containers.
As soon as they got back to the hotel, Quinn was quick to change, getting into something far more comfortable and settling into bed with her leftovers. Her pain had flared on the walk back and she was doing her best to get comfortable. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do, considering she always wanted to eat.
Hearing those words just made Santana want to kick herself even harder for not having had the balls the next morning to go after the woman sat opposite her, “No eres el único, hermoso, créeme, no eres el único.” It seemed her life was just full of almosts when it came to Quinn, even now, they were almost something but it wasn’t something they could be open about, it was a secret, something no one could ever know, not unless they wanted to hurt the people they were currently married to and endure a media shitstorm.
The Latina was honestly relieved when Quinn agreed to her suggestion, this whole pretending to be less than what they were was unbearable at the best of times but when it was during those rare moments that were meant to be exclusively theirs, it was insufferable.
Back in the safety of their room, Santana was thankful to kick off her shoes and get changed into something far more comfortable, boy shorts and a tank were just made for relaxing with your love as far as she was concerned. She was about to grab her container of food and join Quinn on the bed but she knew the blonde too well, she knew the daily mask she wore to cover the pain she was in, the problem was, it fooled Sam, it fooled pretty much all the people they worked with, but it didn’t fool Santana. She walked over to the bed and risked her life as she took the food in front of Quinn away. “Off,” she instructed, pointing at the blondes top half, “on your front.”
