SANTANA'S P.O.V
Santana Lopez was the baddest bitch at Mckinley High, hell she'd even go as far to say the baddest bitch in the whole of Lima. Nobody messed with her, nobody except Quinn Fabray, Quinn was the only person probably out of the whole of Lima who had the balls to stand up to her and Santana loved it, it's one of the reasons they became best friends in the first place. Best friends since they were nine they had each other's backs sometimes they stabbed each other's backs but mostly they had them.
Santana was 14 when she figured out what the lingering looks inside the girls changing rooms meant, the tingling sensation whenever innocent hands would accidently touch and the disgust she could barely conceal when the stupid boys at school would leer and wolf whistle and make suggestive remarks to her, she was a lesbian and at first it freaked her out but she realised this is who she was, she couldn't help it and eventually she accepted it, I mean she wasn't ready to be waving a rainbow flag parading down the school halls but she accepted who she was.
Santana was 16 when she figured out who the lingering looks inside the girls changing rooms were directed at, who made her skin tingle when they were doing lifts in cheerleading practice or sitting next to each other in class and she would have to cross her arms so as to not reveal that by just a brush of their hands her arm hairs had all stood on end, and that when the boys at school would stare and whistle and flirt she wishes it was one person in particular she wanted to be doing those things, one girl in particular, Santana realised she was crushing on Quinn Fabray and crushing hard.
But Quinn never knew this and Santana suffered with all her feelings for the blonde by herself until it got to senior year and Brittany figured it out.
"You're in love with her aren't you?" They had been sitting on the bleachers watching Quinn boss around all the freshman or more specifically Brittany had been watching, Santana only had eyes for the blonde, when the blue eyed girl just blurted it out.
"WHAT?" Santana tried to compose herself but figured she's blown it with how she shouted it out and Quinn was giving her the famous Fabray eyebrow raise which meant she defiantly shouted it out.
"You're in love with Quinn" she stated.
"Britt, I don't know what you're talking about, your starting to sound loco" Santana said with a nervous laugh while jumping up and trying to speed walk down the steps, she needed to get away from this conversation before it turned bad.
"Oh come on Santana! I see the way you stare at her give it up"
"Oh look is that a Unicorn" trying to distract Britt, it didn't work.
"Ha that would've totally worked if I hadn't already seen my pet Unicorn this morning"
"Huh"
"Fine you wanna play it the hard way, you got it, let's see what Quinn thinks about this shall we" Britt said walking past her. She got two steps before Santana grabbed hold of her arm and spun her round.
"Don't you dare!"
"Dare what, if it's not true, you've got nothing to worry about have you?" Brittany went to make a move to get past her again but Santana kept her grip.
"Brittany"
"Santana"
"BRITTANY!" Santana glared at her to back down but seeing the blue eyed girls ditzy smile she knew a lost cause when she saw one.
"Fine you win, I like Quinn...hey that rhymed"
"I knew it I so called it, so when are you going to tell her"
"I'm not"
"Santana" Britt said sounding exasperated.
"Oh you come on Britt, there's no way in hell, Quinn Fabray is gay and even if she was, she would never go for me" They sat down on the bottom row of bleachers.
"Ugh Santana, is this why you don't go on dates or make out with any guys-
"Uhh-
"Or girls"
"...maybe"
"SANTANA!"
"HEY is everything okay over there?" Quinn noticing the shouting called over.
"Yeh where fine"
"Would you keep your voice down Britt, do you want her to find out I like her"
"Well that would be a start, yeh"
"Britt have you taken something you don't seem like yourself?" Santana said putting her arm on Brittanys forehead feeling her temperature, Brittany swatted her arm away.
"No of course not, it's just I've seen you unhappy for most of high school and now I find out this is why, I mean is Quinn really that important?" Santana thought about the question, was Quinn really that important that she has put her life on hold basically to just hang on to the hope that Quinn will like her back and suddenly the answers there.
"No she not that important Britt...she 's more, I think since the moment I first laid eyes on her, I knew it was her, the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, the one I want a family with, I've known I was a goner since I looked deeply enough to see that she has golden flecks in her eyes. And she's worth it, she's worth all of it...no dates because all I can think about is her, she's my everything and she doesn't even know"
" I wouldn't bet on it" Shocked Santana looks up to see Quinn stood there, her face a mask of shock and Santana realises she's heard everything she just said.
"I uh...I just came over to see if you two were okay or still fighting and I uh... I-
"You heard what I said" It wasn't a question, she already knew she had , she could see it in her eyes.
"Is it true?"
"Yeh...yeh it is"
"...Uhh I'm just gonna go, I think my Unicorn's calling me" Brittany the one who got all this started had just bailed on her.
"Look Quinn I- but Quinn interrupted.
"I've gotta go" Quinn said avoiding her gaze and quickly walking away.
"Wait Quinn we can talk about this"
"Not now Santana!" Quinn said without even a glance back to where Santana stood. She was frozen in place by the hard tone in Quinn's voice and a little piece of Santana's heart broke away at hearing it directed at her. Santana realised this could be the last time she sees and talks to Quinn as her best friend and she's letting her walk away. Suck it up Lopez, at least show her what she's missing. Santana sprinted off after Quinn who had by now disappeared into the girls changing rooms.
Bursting through the door she glanced around for Quinn but she was nowhere in sight, surprisingly neither was nobody else, the freshman must of already went home. Her brain registers that she hears water and she instantly knows where Quinn is, walking towards the showers the rushing water gets louder and she enters the shower room, she spots Quinn straight away standing outside the end cubicle with her cheerio's uniform still in and Santana watched her getting her shampoo and conditioner out of her bag. Santana takes a step forward as if she is being drawn to Quinn when her shoe makes a squeaky sound in the small room, Quinn glances up and freezes, straightening up she keeps her gaze locked with Santana's and she takes another step forward and then another.
"Santana"
Another step forward and another and now she's stood in front of her, their gazes still locked but the pity in Quinn's eyes is unmistakeable, it's this look that has her pushing forward, pushing Quinn backwards into the shower cubicle, into the water and soon they are both drenched, their uniforms clinging to their bodys like wet suits. Santana has Quinn pinned on the back wall both hands within her grasp and her face just a hair breadth away from Quinn's. Santana searches Quinn's face, her pupils are dilated and there is now an unrecognisable expression on her face that Santana can't place, her breathing heavy.
"Sant- Santana breaches the gap between them and presses her lips to Quinn soft plump ones. The kiss is passionate and Santana can't get enough but Quinn doesn't respond just stand there. Santana infuriated that she finally has the fucking balls to kiss her and she isn't kissing back heats things up a bit, kissing the corners of her mouth sensually and then continuing to her chin opens her mouth and places wet kisses softly but firmly along her jaw all the way up to her ear where she takes the shell of the ear into her mouth then whispers breathily.
"Kiss me Q" Pulling her head back slightly to stare into Quinn's eyes who breathing now is laboured, Santana is so turned on by the full blown pupils that she is slow to react as Quinn reverses her grip and flips them now having Santana pinned and Santana is so stunned by this change of events it takes her a second to realise Quinn is kissing her and its driving her crazy, open mouthed kisses to the collar bone and Santana is moaning, suddenly the kisses are getting closer to her lips and the anticipation is killing her, kiss on her neck and she is squirming, her chin and she can't take it she's about to explode until Quinn finally latches onto her mouth and Santana can't breathe. This kiss is all teeth and tongue and raw desire she can't take it, she's too hot but she can't separate from her either. It goes on until they both have to separate and they are gasping, clinging to one another still. Quinn is finally the one to get her breath back first and the realisation of what they have just done hits her, she jumps up and turns to leave but hesitates, the air is so sexually charged she can't take it, leaning down Quinn kisses her on the forehead and then grabs her bag and leaves and all Santana can do is slide down the shower wall soaked to the teeth with her chest heaving.
