Santana's POV:
"Mami, what are you doing?!" I yelled.
"Packing your bags hija." She replied calmly while throwing stuff into my giant suitcase.
"Why?! What did I do?!" I was not happy about this, what is she doing?
"What have you not done Santana? You go out to parties all the time and come home drunk at five in the morning! I'm not having this anymore, you're going to spend the summer with your uncle Sebastian at Lima Lake." She stated with a tone of finality. But I wasn't letting this go without a fight, I fought back in the best way I knew possible, with Spanish, "Te odio! (I hate you!) ¿Por qué haces esto a mí? (Why are you doing this to me?) No quiero pasar todo el verano con su tío Sebastián. (I don't want to spend the entire summer with uncle Sebastian.) ¿Qué clase de nombre es Lago Lima de todos modos? (What kind of name is Lima Lake anyways?) Probablemente todas las maderas y cabañas de madera. (It's probably all woods and little log cabins.) Te odio mami, te odio, te odio, te odio. (I hate you mami, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.) No me gusta en absoluto. (I don't like this at all.)" I finished my little rant but mami seemed unfazed by it.
"Hija, you have to go, I already booked the flight, you leave in an hour. Oh and also," She waved my cell in front my face "I'm keeping this. One hour Santana, finish packing." And with that she walked out the door.
So, that's how I managed to end up on this stupid plane from California to Lima, Ohio. I really don't want to go. I mean, it's probably really boring with nothing to do. Plus I have to spend the whole summer with uncle Sebastian. Sure, he's the cool uncle and really the only person I like in the family but a whole summer with him? That's just a little too much. I love him but he can get super annoying sometimes. I already miss California, I would always hook up with guys but I never really liked it because I'm a lady lover but just haven't came out yet. I pulled my iPod out of my carry on, put my headphones in and shut my eyes. This is going to be a long plane ride.
A couple of hours later I woke up and found out that we were about to land in Lima. Here we go, I thought. I walked into the arrivals lobby and immediately saw my uncle Sebastian waiting for me. I could easily pick him out in the crowd, tall, muscular, handsome, Hispanic. All of the Lopez's had a fiery attitude but my uncle Sebastian was really tame. "Hey Santana." Sebastian greeted me.
"Hey uncle Seb." Okay yes, I call him uncle Seb, what? It's easier calling him that than Sebastian all the time.
"How are you kiddo?" I rolled my eyes at that comment. He noticed, "Okay come on Santana, the last time I saw you, you were a literal child."
"Uh huh, I missed you too Seb." I replied and he give me a playful shove and I grinned. Okay, this might not be too bad of a summer at all. We continued walking until uncle Seb cam to a stop at a truck.
"Here, Santana, give me that bag of yours." I handed him the bag and he threw it into the bed of the truck with ease. I got into the truck and put my seatbelt on. Uncle Seb got in just a few seconds later, "So, Santana, looking forward to a super fun filled action packed adventurous summer?!" He said humorously.
"Haha." I replied sarcastically.
"Oh come on Santana, it's not that bad. I bet you'll like it actually."
"Oh yeah?" He nodded his head as a silent confirmation. We talked a little more until I realised that we had actually drove out of Lima.
"Hey, uh Lima's back that way Seb."
"I know that smart-ass. We're going to Lima Lake remember. It's outside of Lima."
"Then why is it named Lima Lake if it isn't in Lima?"
"I dunno Santana." He shrugged. I decided to give up and decided to shut my eyes again.
It was only about twenty minutes later when there was a tapping on my window, the truck had stopped. I opened my eyes and they went huge. "Holy crap! You live here?!"
He nodded, "Not what you were expecting, was it?"
"Hell no!" It was a three floor white mansion with a balcony and a front porch. I stared in awe, my house in Cali was nothing like this, like, at all. I knew my uncle was doing well for himself but holy crap this was something else, I've been really out of touch with his life.
"Awww little Sanny's speechless." Uncle Seb cooed.
"Shut upTio" I said embarrassed and a small blush started to creep up my neck.
"Oh, someone's embarrassed." He continued to tease.
I got out of the car and launched myself at him shouting at him to stop making fun of me. He lifted me up and carried me with ease around to the back yard.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled.
"Teaching you a little lesson, Missy." He continued walking and soon he was on the docks where a boat was parked. Seriously he has a boat as well? I continued to struggle but it was no use. Uncle Seb reached the end and threw me into the water. I sunk under like a rock, I came back up gasping for air while I found uncle Seb laughing his ass off.
"Not. Funny." I growled as I pulled myself out the water.
"Now, now Santana, it's a harmless joke, a 'prank' I think you kids are calling it these days." He teased, still chuckling.
"Really? I'm soaked now, thanks by the way."
"Oh no problem, anytime. Move it, go pick a room, get showered and get unpacked then do something. Your Mami told me you aren't allowed to stay in your room for the whole of summer break."
"Okay fine." I grumbled.
"Oh and Santana sweetie!" He called in an overly sweet voice. I turned around and glared at him. "Shoes off at the door Honey." He waved and wiggled his hips, i couldn't help but laugh at this. God, he's an awesome uncle. I got to the back door and made a show of kicking my shoes off and I swear I heard him chuckle behind me. I smirked and walked inside where my bag was sitting at the foot of the stairs. I looked around the bottom floor first, not even bothering about being soaked anymore. A large living room complete with a 42" TV, three 3 seater couches and a games console. I then walked into what looked like a gym. Trust uncle Seb to have his own gym in his house. Bench presses, treadmills, weights, punch bags, you name it, he had it. I walked out and saw the kitchen, fairly large with marble counters, following into a large dining room with a hard oak table and eight chairs around it. I walked upstairs and looked around the rooms there. I couldn't be bothered walking up anymore stairs so I chose a room looking out over the backyard. It's a nice room, double bed, walk in closet, still in one of those I thought and chuckled, an en suite bathroom. I went for a quick shower and when I came out I went to my suitcase and pulled out black running shorts, a pink sports bra and white running shoes. I pulled my still damp hair into a ponytail and got dressed, I grabbed my iPod and headed out.
"I'm going for a run!" I yelled.
"Damn it Santana. No need to yell." Uncle Seb said as he made his way into the living room.
"Crap, sorry, didn't mean that. Okay, well I'm going for a run."
"Yeah I kinda gathered that when you practically burst my eardrum." He joked.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Stick to the road though, don't want you getting lost."
"Okay, thanks, bye." I smiled and waved at him.
After returning from my run uncle Seb told me that we were having a 'start of summer party', which, apparently is an annual occurrence at his house. every year all of the families from around the lake come to my uncles house for food, drinks and a general good night to kick start summer in the right way.
getting out of my shower, I wrap a nice fluffy towel around myself and head into my walk in wardrobe to find that Seb had already put everything away for me, he must really be trying to get on my good side this summer. I pick out a form fitting navy dress that makes my ass look amazing without being too revealing, and pair the with a pair of nice black pumps. I look at my outfit choice and mentally high five myself. After I've done my hair, makeup and got dressed, the music is just starting out back and uncle Seb is just firing up the BBQ. I find it strange because as guests start arriving, some come through our open front door and some pull up at the dock on their own boats and get out there. Ultimately I lose track of the amount of people who end up turning up, I think it ends up being everyone from the lake and from the next town over, I've heard from a couple of guests that Seb's parties are killer. I'm dancing with my uncle at one point when I back up and bump into someone, "hey! watch what you're doing-"
I'm cut off mid sentence because of the sheer beauty that I have just laid my eyes upon. A tall, long legged, blonde girl is standing in front of me wide eyed. "Uh, hi!" she said chipperly, "you must be Sebastian's niece, Santana right?" I can't bring myself to respond, I'm just standing there with my mouth wide open in shock at the girl standing in front of me. She's dressed relatively casually, a powder blue dress shirt with black shorts and matching blue converse. She frowns and waves her hand in front of my face, breaking me out of my daydream, "hey, you okay? You kinda disappeared for a second there."
"Uh, yeah! I'm good, sorry about that. You are correct, I'm Santana, Sebastian's niece. Can I ask your name?" I reply, whew, swift recovery Lopez, get yourself together. She giggled. Oh my god I almost died and went to heaven, that was the most adorable thing I've ever heard and seen. Wait, did I just say that this girl was adorable? That word is not in Santana Lopez's vocabulary. I swear it must be the air out here because I'm really off my game.
"-Pierce." She finished, thats when I realised that I had zoned out again.
"Oh sorry, say that again? I couldn't hear you over the music." Good excuse, the music was quite loud so it is quite hard to hear out in the yard, especially because Seb has set up his surround sound speaker system for tonight.
She giggled again, oh god that sound. "I said my name is Brittany Pierce." She repeated. She must think I'm an idiot, except she's giggled at me zoning out.
"Brittany..." I say testing the name out, it suits her, and sounds really natural when I say it. She smiles and replies, "yup" popping the 'p' sound at the end.
"Oh! I can introduce you to the other group of teenagers that are in my group if you'd like? They're probably down at the dock or something." I would rather stay here and talk to her myself but she seems really excited for me to meet her friends so I can't really refuse such a happy Brittany slightly bouncing up and down in excitement. "Sure thing," I reply, "I might as well get to know some people my own age instead of hanging out with my uncle the whole summer." She giggled again, that damn giggle will be the death of me I swear.
"Great! Let's go!" She grabbed my hand I couldn't help but think of how well our hands knitted together. She laced her fingers through mine and dragged me down to the dock where a group of around about five or six teenagers were sitting, drinking and laughing with each other. "Guys!" Brittany exclaimed. "I finally found Santana, Sebastian's niece." I waved tentatively and got a round of warm smiles and waves back which put me straight at ease. "Okay so let me introduce the guys to you Santana. So," She took a breath before jumping into the introductions, "the blonde girl there, thats Quinn, she's super nice and very protective of her friends, we've been best friends since we were kids. The kid with the glasses sitting beside her is Artie, he is killer at Michael Jackson songs and can bust a serious move. Next to him is Tina, part of our asian fusion duo. The other asian beside her is Mike, he's her boyfriend is an amazing dancer as well. The guy beside Mike, the one who looks like he has a dead ferret on his head, that's Noah, but he prefers getting called Puck because his last name is Puckerman. Beside him, we have Sam and Mercedes, Sam is like a living Ken doll, he has abs of steel and Mercedes is the definition of diva, don't get in her way for a solo because she will do anything for that thing." A quiet little "damn straight" was heard from Mercedes and I couldn't help but chuckle. This seems like a nice group of people, except for 'Puck' who has been giving me the eye since I came over. Brittany and I sat down in the circle and we started chatting to get to know each other a little bit better.
"So, are all of you guys musically or artistically talented then?" I asked from my position between Brittany and Quinn.
"We sure are hot stuff," Puck replied, I cringed at the nickname, "We're all in our schools glee club and we perform sometimes at a karaoke battle during breaks at the local bistro. Do you sing?" I was a little taken aback at the fact that everyone hear could carry a tune because the likes of Tina, looked far to quiet to even say a word at a whisper never mind belt out a powerhouse of a song.
"Uh, I don't really. I mean I was in a couple of musicals when I was in middle school but I don't do much anymore, just shower singing and stuff like that I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and looked up to see everyone looking at me intently. Did these people actually care about what I had to say here or were the just judging me? I didn't have time to dwell because Mercedes piped up and said, "Okay! Now that we know a couple of facts about each other thanks to Brittany's fabulous introductions, need I remind all of y'all that this is a party and we should be getting our drink and dance on! We can continue introductions tomorrow!" And with that, Mercedes, Artie, Sam and Puck went off to the designated dance floor that Seb had set up. Soon I was left with Quinn, Mike, Tina and of course Brittany. Mike and Tina soon decided to dip and go make out somewhere, they were a strange pairing but they were cute together. And then there were three. Quinn looked at me intently then walked away to talk to a woman who looked like an older version of her, her mother I presume. I turned to face Brittany, "so... do you wanna dance?" she asked shyly. Wait, was she blushing? I was nowhere near drunk enough for this yet. But I agreed anyway and ended up letting her pull me to the dance floor when a super high tempo dance beat came on and Brittany started putting on a show. She had said that some of the guys in the group had some killer moves but oh my GOD the way that this girl moved those hips and popped and locked at the right time had me almost drooling. When she pulled me into her grip and started moving me with her I just about passed out from what I was feeling. I hadn't even known this girl for 24 hours and already had developed a major crush on her. We moved together to the beat and gained some wolf-whistles. I was so lost in the music when I looked up and saw that a few adults were sending us some disapproving looks that I detached myself from Brittany and hurried away to the bathroom. I really needed to get my act together, I can't have people looking at me like that, thats my biggest fear about coming out to people, for them to be disapproving after having tried to please them my whole life. Granted, I've never met any of these people in my life but when I leave, my uncle still has to live here and I can't ruin his reputation with people talking about his lesbian niece, that would destroy him. All of this panicking led me to ending the night early and as I trudged up the stairs to my room, I looked out the window to see a certain blonde bombshell looking around for someone, who she was looking for I don't know, maybe she lost track of her parents or something.
