A/N I do not own any characters from Glee nor any music that may be mentioned in the course of the story line.

Also there will be smut in my story so if you are not of the age limit for smut, I suggest that you do not read my Pezberry story.

With that…the show must go on

Santana's POV

As her lips gently grazed on mine, my body slightly tensed. Just as quick as her lips met mine, the kiss was over. 'CUT!' yelled James the director. 'Smashing work girls, we shall call it a wrap for that scene for today'. As soon as I heard those words, I made a hasty exit from the studio and to my dressing room.

'Damn you Quinn, just damn you.' I thought to myself. Quinn had accidently told Rachel on a drunken night out about my feelings. I had been crushing on my co-star and former high school friend Rachel Berry ever since we started working on this show together some six months ago. I didn't mean to fall for her, hell even crush on her. She drove me nuts in high school being so dramatic, so dedicated and so sure which direction her life was going to go.

Meanwhile, I failed being a cheer leader, I mean I loved it sure, but it just wasn't for me. I followed the guys to NYC, had fun, hell even Rachel and I struck up a good friendship, which kind of took us both by surprise.

Biggest game changer for us both, was losing Finn. Yes, I know I was a bitch rubbing it in that I took Finn's virginity, but his death hit us all painfully hard, Rachel especially. After that, we met up for some Glee reunions, but I rarely saw Rachel after that.

I married Brittany. Our marriage failed due to us not succeeding and being open and honest with one another. I worked hard at making a career in TV and still sang from time to time, Brittany however, seemed to get lost along the way. No matter what I tried, it never seemed good enough and when she kept turning to alcohol, there was constant battles and then finally, I caught her cheating. That was the last straw. You know what I'm like. Stubborn and pig headed so I called it time on our marriage, and eventually we divorced. So I headed back to the place where I felt last secure. NYC.

By chance, I found a quaint little apartment and settle well in to NYC once more. I started auditioning for various roles and eventually landed the roll of Jess and was told that it was an amazing cast I was joining. Then on my first day at the studio I froze, there was one Rachel Berry standing in front of me. 'SANTANA!' We both broke out in massive smiles and gave each other a hug. It felt like we had never been apart when we reconnected that day.

So six months later, here I am, besotted and crushing on Rachel Berry. Our characters were getting closer on the show, emotionally, physically and damn, I let it spill in to my real life. I told Quinn one night when she popped by, needless to say she opened her mouth and now Rachel knows. I am scared to admit how I really feel as I really do not want to jeopardise our friendship.

Rachel's POV

Losing Finn crushed me. I didn't really know how to function after he passed away. But slowly, and surely I started to piece my life together again, with the help of my friends and Jessie.

I was surprised just like everybody else when Jessie made a reappearance in my life, but he guided me back on the path I was destined to fill and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

But that day Santana appeared at the studio as our newest cast member, we smiled at each other and managed to rekindle our friendship that I held dear to my heart. I know I didn't want to believe her over the Brody gigolo fiasco, but she had my back. A true quality in a friendship that I had truly missed. I was sad that we lost touch after some Glee reunions, but I guess, eventually, people do move on and look back on their high school moments with either great fondness or sadness.

I was forever grateful for everything I learned in high school. I learned how to be accepted for who you are and to do that with others. I learned true quality of friendships and most importantly love.

I always thought Finn and I were destined to be the end game like we always planned, even if at the time of his passing we weren't officially together, we always knew that no matter what life threw at us, we would make it back together and live our lives to the fullest.

I still have his tattoo. I touch It when I feel like I need to talk to him and ask for his guidance and look up to the stars knowing that no matter where I am in this world, he would offer that bright light of support and make me feel reassured.

I went out and lived life as full as I possibly could. Doing things out with my comfort zone. I even dated both men and women as I had a slow realisation that I was attracted to both sexes and it was alright to be bisexual. My friends and family supported me whole heartedly and just the other night Quinn told me that Santana had feelings for me.

Fuck.

Yes, I know, you probably didn't expect me to swear but fuck. Santana and I have incredible history and a great friendship. But will it be worth it losing that if we decided to act on feelings. Wait. What? Yes, I do like Santana, more than a friend should.

'Thanks Santana' and her dressing room closed. Rachel appeared round the corner. 'Hey Susie, is Santana still in her dressing room?' 'Yes Rachel, but if you are going to see her, she's not herself for some reason!'. Rachel nodded and headed towards Santana's dressing room and stood outside.

'What the hell Rachel! You can't just walk in here!' Rachel blushed as she noticed that Santana was standing there in her underwear, but she had to do this now whilst she had the courage. She walked straight right up to her and pulled her close to her and kissed her fiercely. Slipping her hand behind her head and looking for entrance to her mouth. Surprisingly Santana let her and their tongues met. Their kiss became extremely heated and eventually they broke it off so they could get air.

Both Rachel and Santana just stood there looking at each other. An uncomfortable silence between them as thoughts raced both their minds about what had just happened.

'Well fuck me Berry, this is awkward.' Blurted out Santana as she reached for her dressing robe. 'Actually, I don't think it is' responded Rachel. 'But maybe we could talk about this later? I have a few more scenes to shoot and I knew you were done for today.' Santana blinked and looked at Rachel as she spoke. 'Uhm, ok Rachel, where and when do you want to talk?' Rachel walked over to Santana and kissed her lightly on the lips. 'My place, eight o'clock.' Rachel then swiftly left Santana's dressing room.

Santana sat down on the chair. Her thoughts consumed her. What the hell just happened there? She swore she felt Rachel's mouth on hers, passionately. She was sure their tongues met. She didn't dream this right? Only time will tell when she turns up at Rachel's tonight.

Next chapter: Santana goes to Rachel's to find out what is going on. Rachel makes sure it's a night Santana won't forget in a hurry.
