Santana's P.O.V.
Have you ever just...lived in a blur? You do your day to day routine but most of the time you're on auto pilot and there's only a few minutes where you're really living? As pathetic as it sounds, that's pretty much my life. There's some small moments when I can just breathe and actually live in my reality but that's only when I'm working or with my son. Miguel, my two year old little boy. He's my world and one of my few sources of happiness. He's just this little ball of joy and his smile lights up a room no matter what. When Rachel got pregnant with him, it was the happiest we'd ever been. She was a little upset he wasn't planned and she did have to stop her acting career for a while but she got over it the second she heard his heartbeat.
Rachel and I have been married for five years but we've been together a total of seven. We met through a mutual friend at a party. She was just breaking into the music business and I had already been a producer for about three years. Rachel got signed to my label and I produced her first album and helped co-write a few songs with her. Over the time we spent together, we fell in love and now here we are. The difference from now and then is that back then, I was actually happy. I guess Hollywood got to Rachel and she's become a fucking bitch. Ever since we had Miguel and she got back into entertaining, her attitude has been ridiculous, she's taken the term diva to a whole new level.
"How's my beautiful boy?" I say as I walk into the kitchen and see Miguel sitting at the kitchen table with Tina. He smiles at me as I walk to him and kiss head.
"Good morning." I say.
"Hi mami." He says and I run my fingers through his short brown curls.
"Good morning Tina." I say and she gives me a smile.
"Morning Santana." Tina says. Tina has been one of our maids and sort of nanny for the past two years. She only watches Miguel when I have to work but luckily, I'm off today.
"Uh huh...well I don't care. I want her fired and that's the end of it. His show is nothing without me and he knows it so he better fire her or I quit." Rachel says into her phone as she walks into the kitchen. Tina quickly gets up and walks over to the counter, pouring Rachel a cup of coffee.
"I do not care, it's either me or her." Rachel then hangs up her phone and huffs.
"What poor person are you trying to leave unemployed now?" I say as I sit in the seat previously occupied by Tina.
"My co-star, Julia. She's a complete idiot. During rehearsal yesterday she completely butchered our scene together then had the nerve to call me a diva when I tried to correct her. Me? A diva? Can you believe that?" Oh yeah, I can definitely believe it.
"Just leave it alone. Why do you always overreact to everything?" I say.
"Overreact? I'm not overreacting. She's a horrible no talent actress and she deserves to be fired." Tina hands her the mug of coffee and Rachel takes a sip of it before then types on her phone.
"I have to go and this coffee is horrible. Less sugar next time." Rachel says as sits her mug down then leaves the kitchen. A few seconds later the front door closes and I sigh. Tina gives me a sympathetic smile but I just shake my head.
"Where's Quinn?" I ask.
"She's just finishing up the laundry. Are you ready for breakfast?" Tina asks and I shake my head.
"Not yet. Since Q is here, you can go ahead and leave. I don't think I'll really need either of you two much today. Miguel and I are going out." I say and Tina smiles.
"A little mami and me time?" I nod and she smiles.
"Well that's good. I'll just make you a plate then clean up and be on my way." Tina says and I nod. Tina is gone in twenty minutes and I watch Miguel finish his breakfast. I hear light footsteps behind me and I look over my shoulder to see Quinn coming into the kitchen.
"Hi Santana." She says as she walks over to the stove.
"Hey Q." I say then she makes her way over to Miguel and I.
"Hey Miguel. How are you this morning?" She says as she ruffles his hair and he giggles.
"Hi." He says in his little voice. Quinn and I both smile and she goes back over to the stove.
"Where's Rachel?" Quinn asks.
"You didn't hear her dramatic...well everything?" I say and she chuckles lightly.
"Surprisingly no. She left already?" She asks and I nod. She grabs the plate of pancakes and bacon Tina made then comes and sits it in front of me.
"Hungry?" I ask her and she shrugs.
"Not really." I nod.
"Come sit with us." I say but she shakes her head.
"I have to work." Quinn says and I shrug. Quinn has been here about a year. She's really cool and really fucking sexy. She's in her last year of law school and works here to help pay for it. I've gotten pretty close to her and I consider her a friend. It amazes me that such a smart beautiful woman is still single. If I were single...she definitely wouldn't be.
"I'm your boss and if I say come sit with us, you sit with us."
"But if I say no, then I don't."
"Why must you always be so difficult?" I ask and she shrugs.
"It keeps things interesting." I chuckle and she sits in the chair across from me.
"So what's on the agenda today?" She asks.
"I'm thinking I'll just take him to the park or something. I don't really need you around today so you can go home early...unless you want to hang out with us?" I ask and she bites her lip then shakes her head after a little while.
"Wouldn't it look weird if you were just out with your maid?" She asks.
"Definitely not. Rachel is always with her idiot co-star Hudson and no one says anything about that." Quinn shakes her head.
"There's totally been talk of an affair with him." She says and I shrug.
"I can't say I really care or that it would surprise me if it were true." She looks at me with a confused expression and I pour some syrup on my pancakes.
"How exactly do you put up with her? I mean I thought I was a bitch, but I'm nothing compared to her. You're a bitch but she still tops that." I cut a piece of my pancake and take a bite.
"I wish I had an answer to that." I say.
"You deserve better than that. No one deserves to be with...that." I sigh and eat more of my food.
"Change the subject. How's school?"
"Good. Nothing exciting but nothing horrible."
"Find anyone you want to bang yet?" I ask as I take a bite of my bacon.
"I've found that person a while ago but certain circumstances hinder that. No one new though." She says and reaches over to my plate, quickly taking a piece of bacon.
"Who do you want to bang?" I ask and she shrugs.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I really do want to know. Does Quinn like someone?
"Is it just physical?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"A lot more. I'm pretty close to her but it'll never happen."
"Never say never Q." Quinn shrugs.
"So when do we leave?" She asks.
"When I finish eating." Quinn nods then gets up and goes to fix herself a cup of coffee. My eyes wander over her body, like always and I silently sigh to myself. I hate how much I want to touch her smooth skin and kiss those pink lips. I'm married, I can't think like that.
I finish breakfast and we go to the park for a few hours then out to lunch, my treat but of course Quinn fights me on it. I win in the end though and after lunch we go back to my house. I let Quinn get back to her work before dinner and I decided to help. We're both in the kitchen, cooking and listening to music while Miguel watches us from his seat. I walk over to the radio on the wall and turn to a Spanish station. It's actually a song I produced. Miguel gets excited and giggles and I laugh and look at him.
"You like this song mijo?" He nods his head and moves his body to the beat of the song. Quinn and I laugh and continue cooking while I sway to the song. I move by Quinn and bump her hips with mine as I sing along to the song.
"Dance with me." I say and Quinn chuckles and shakes her head.
"I'm okay." She says as she pours the noodles into the boiling water. I grab her hands and pull her away from the stove.
"Dance with me." She shakes her head.
"I don't know how." She says and I shake my head.
"Well allow me to help you out." I hold my right hand and her left hand shoulder height and I put her right hand on my shoulder. Then I put my hand on her hip and pull her closer to me.
"Santana -"
"Just follow me okay?" I say and she sighs but nods.
"When I move my foot forward, move yours back." She nods in understanding and I take my first step. She moves her foot back and I do the same with the other leg and she follows.
"Good." I say as we keep moving.
"You're so stiff. You gotta move your hips Q." I say as we keep moving. She moves her hips slightly and I sigh.
"I'm trying! I told you I don't know how." She says and I laugh lightly. I put both hands on her hips and move them as we keep dancing.
"Just let go. Don't think about it." I say and she loosens up a bit.
"There you go." I say and I move out hands back to their previous positions. Quinn giggles and shakes her head.
"I can't believe you got me to do this." She says.
"I can talk anyone into anything."
"I doubt it." She says and I raise my eyebrow at her.
"I could talk you out of those clothes right now." She smirks and moves closer to me.
"I don't think Miguel or your WIFE would appreciate that." I shrug and quickly spin her. As she spins back to the front I pull her against my chest.
"You know what they say about good dancer right?" I ask as she pulls away from me but we still dance.
"They're good in bed." She says.
"Great in my case so if you ever want to find out, let me know." I wink and she rolls her eyes but has a small smile on her lips.
"If I want to know, I could ask Rachel."
"She wouldn't tell you anything. Our sex life has definitely been non existent for the last couple of months."
"Or years from what I can tell." Quinn says and I sigh. She's pretty much right. Is my marriage that horrible other people can see it? The song ends and I move away from Quinn. She frowns slightly and walks over to me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Don't apologize. I'm fine, I swear." Quinn looks unsure but nods and goes back to the stove. Soon dinner is done and I invite Quinn to stay but she can't.
"Sorry, have a test to study for." She says and I nod.
"See you tomorrow then."
"Do you work tomorrow?" She asks and I nod.
"Yeah, can you bring Miguel by at some point?"
"Sure. You can't go a few hours without that kid." Quinn says with a laugh. She says bye to both of us then she's out the door.
After she's gone, I give Miguel his bath and he's out like a light by the end of it. While I'm in the shower I hear Rachel come in. I drag my shower out for another 30 minutes then I finally get out. Rachel is in bed, lying on her side. I get in on my side and move close to her. I wrap my arm around her waist and she sighs and rests her arm on top of mine. She must have had a good day. I gently move her hair to the side and kiss her neck lightly. She doesn't respond so I do it again but more firm this time.
"What are you doing?" She asks as she turns towards me.
"Initiating sex. I'm horny." I say and she laughs. She fucking laughs.
"I'm not having sex with you." What the fuck?
"I mean, it's not you. I have to be up early in the morning and I'm too tired for this. Just go handle it yourself."
"Like I have been for the last year." I say frustrated and move away from her. She keeps talking but I don't listen, I just close my eyes and completely tune her out.
