"Please don't leave me."
Santana couldn't hold the tears back anymore, even though she wasn't in love with the girl that doesn't mean she didn't care for her. Brittany had been her high school sweetheart since two years ago, well that's what she and everyone else thought. But Santana wasn't feeling it anymore, her heart never did summersaults when Brittany flirted with her, she never got those sparks when they touched each other intimately. Santana didn't even know if those things existed especially since she can barely even choke out the word 'love'. This is why she needed time, away from Brittany and everything else around her to explore and try new things... or people.
"I'm sorry Brittany we need this time a part of me to think, if it's meant to be then it will be."
With those words Santana leaned in to give her a one sided hug and a quick peck on the lips and left before Brittany would convince her to stay. She passed her plane ticket to the receptionist and headed in the doors. Walking down the aisle she headed to her seat, there was another seat next to it and she just hoped that she wouldn't have to sit on a 24hour plane ride with some annoying kid or someone who would keep hitting on her. With the thought of that she sighed and placed her bags on the top component and looked at her ticket one more time to see if she had to sit on the inside or the outside. Realizing she had to sit on the inside made her want to hit something, she wanted to sit on the outside so she can stare out the window and just have some alone thinking time.
"Oh the person probably won't mind."
She mumbled to herself and sat on the outside seat. It would take a few more minutes before the plane would set off and now Santana was already bored. She was starting to wonder if this was a stupid idea, she didn't even notify her parents about it as well. She just used her own money to pay for the ticket, told Brittany and headed off to the airport. Things were easier that way. Just as she was about to doze off she heard a little exaggerated cough. Hating herself for not sleeping earlier the night before due to unfinished packing, she opened her eyes slowly.
Standing in front of her was this girl that looked around her age, and a bit taller than her. She had this short and blonde hair that would stop shoulder length and it looked good with her face structure. She had a nice body from what she could see, which wasn't much because that girl was wearing a lot of clothes but she did notice how toned those legs looked in the jeans. And lastly but not least she made it up to her eyes, they were an olive green with yellow little sparks but something about them just made her heart go crazy. When Santana realized that the girl looked kind of awkward because Santana was checking her out she wanted to mentally slap herself. Nice first impression there Lopez.
"May I help you?"
She said trying to sound nice but somehow it came out rude so she put on a smile hopefully it didn't look sarcastic.
"Ummm, sorry but I think you're in my seat."
She said with a cute smile. Her heart did it again, it just stopped.
"Sorry, I kind of hate sitting on the inside."
She said with an apologetic smile as she was about to get up.
"Oh no no don't worry it's okay I understand, I hate sitting on the outside anyways so just stay there."
The girl then put her bags next to Santana's on top.
"My name's Quinn by the way, what's yours?"
"Santana Lopez."
There she did it again, why cant she control herself when she was with Quinn. She just totally killed the conversation but she didn't do it intentionally.
'Come on Lopez bring your game.'
Santana thought to herself mentally.
A few minutes passed by and then the flight was about to take off.
"Passengers please buckle your seatbelts."
After hearing the 'Ding!' she popped her seat belt on and rested her neck on her seat. Hopefully she could get some sleep now. After 10 minutes of tossing around she decided to open them up again. Once she opened her eyes up she met the same green ones from before. Quinn realizing that Santana just saw her looking at her, her head snapped towards the other direction trying to hide that little blush that was crawling onto her face. 'Wait... was she watching me sleep?' Santana thought but weirdly enough she didn't get angry she just felt tingles on her hands. When Santana noticed the little blush on Quinn's pale face she tried to stop herself from grinning.
"So Quinn, why are you headed to Australia?"
"I heard it was a great place for vacation I guess, what about you?"
"Just needed some time alone I guess."
"That's fair enough I guess, hopefully we have fun."
'We as in together...' Santana thought to herself and she wanted to smile at the thought of that.
"Yeah I guess so, everybody likes it down under."
When those words left Santana's mouth she wanted to bury her head into her pillow. Why is she acting so shy in front of Quinn. Normally she would of said 'wanky' to herself after that but instead her face was a deep shade of red. Quinn's reaction didn't go unnoticed as well, after Santana had said that Quinn just opened her mouth , shocked by how Santana said that. As if there was another meaning to that like Santana was trying to flirt with her or something. Her mouth kept opening and shutting, she was still trying to figure out what to say. Her face was probably as red as Santana's now. Well this is awkward the two girls both thought to themselves.
'You just hit on a girl and you don't even know if she is playing on the same team as you. Nice Lopez, real nice' Santana kept thinking about how much this sucks but she couldn't help but feel her mouth try to smile at Quinn's reaction.
They just both sat there in silence. When she had calmed down a bit and knew that her face was probably wasn't as red as it was before Santana turned her head to look at Quinn. Quinn looked like she was in her own world, her eyes were just staring straight at the seat in front of her while her teeth was biting into her light pink lips. Santana was weirdly turned on by that little gesture, how can something like that look so sexy to her? If Brittany did that she would probably just be all normal, but right now the girl sitting next to her is turning her on without even realizing it.
Oh boy was this going to be a long plane ride.
