Out of Bounds

A little over 2 weeks had gone by and already I had a routine. Monday and Wednesdays, I would spend most days with Britt as Rachel and Quinn had classes at a different campus, they would eventually join us at home and we all would eat dinner together. Tuesdays and Thursdays, I had most of my classes with an extra 2 hour long one on Thursdays. On Tuesdays, after class I would spend whatever time I could with Quinn catching up, facetiming friends and family. On Fridays, I didn't have any classes so I'd sleep in and then spend some time catching up on readings for classes with Rachel in the recreational/ cafeteria area of the towers. Rachel was slowly growing on me and I found myself even enjoying her company. Eventually, Quinn and Brittany would join us. We almost always ended up drinking some sort of alcohol, playing pool or Foosball before deciding to head out and explore London. Usually afterward, we would end up at a bar.

"Hey Santana" said Rachel. Her body was no longer outstretched on her long lounge chair as she snapped her fingers at me.

"What is it Berry?" I asked annoyed. She always seemed to interrupt me when I was having good thoughts.

"Britt's on the phone." Replied Rachel as she handed the phone to me. At the sound of Britt's name, my heart raced. I reached over and grabbed the phone from her quickly.

"Hey Britt. What's going on?" I asked.

"San! How's studying going?" She asked.

"Eh. I think I read 4 pages" I answered causing her to giggle.

"I swear for an English major, you don't seem to like to read. Aren't you supposed to like reading?" She asked.

"Hey, hand me an interesting book and I'll be more than happy to read it." I laughed. I could see Rachel watching me, "So what's up Britt?" I asked.

"Oh, right. I was stopping by Tesco on the way home. What do we need? Do we need any eggs? I think I ate most of your eggs this past week after I finished mine. Also, I saw we were running low on coffee too. Also I was thinking of picking up that wine we liked too." She replied all in one breath.

"Whoa slow down Britt." I laughed. I could practically hear her breathing, "You know you don't have to buy me any of those things. You know I don't mind sharing those items Britt."

"San, you don't just share those things with me. We practically use all of the same ingredients anyway. Why buy two of each, when we could split it. I'm sure Quinn would agree." She answered. Her logic made sense. I could feel this bubble of excitement at the prospect of us actually agreeing to share our items. "Umm San, you there?"

"Oh yeah. Sorry was just remembering what we need. We are good with coffee. Quinn's sister works at Starbucks and actually gave us three of those bags. If we run low, I'm sure she can send more. As for eggs, I think Quinn ate the last one this morning. Wine sounds great." I said.

"Okay great. See you in a few San." She answered.

"Don't forget my tea Britt!" yelled Rachel as she heard me saying bye. Rachel watched me curiously as I handed her back the phone.

"Yes?" I asked as she kept staring. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No" She shrugged as she turned away and drank some of her tea. With a sigh, I put my book down and turned to her.

"Okay what is it?" I asked.

"Nothing Santana." She answered with a smirk.

"You and Quinn spend way too much time together." I sighed, recognizing Quinn's trademark smirk.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Laughed Rachel. She turned back to her textbook before I turned back to my own book. I tried to focus, but once again couldn't get myself to concentrate. I went to put my book down when a bag flew onto my outstretched legs.
