Hi,guys! I have decided to give it another shot and this is the second chapter. Please bear with me as the story is going at a very slow pace. But I believe that the conversations are those subtle things that actually makes the story wonderful. (:
This chapter is named after a song by Jordin Sparks - one step at a time. I do not own any materials from glee and now, enjoy!
Chapter 2 – Onestepatatime
"So how long have you been in Lima?" she asked as we walk over to the café across the street from our apartments. We decided to go and grab a coffee and get to know each other more as we are going to be neighbours from now onwards. We had a decent conversation going on and she got to know my name and the same for me, except that I already knew before this. "Not long, just a week or so. Spent my days in the hotel while I look for a decent apartment and found here" I replied with a smile, hoping that I'm making a good first impression so far. "Oh, why did you want to come to Lima? Where were you from previously?" she continued her chain of questions on me. "Erm, just some personal issues.. I was from New York" I lied, maybe not for the latter as I was really living at New York before I come here. However, the main reason of me coming here is her. Yet I couldn't tell her, at least not now. "Oh.. Sorry.." she apologized and avoided eye contact by looking down at the floor.
I pushed open the door and held it for her to come into the café, the smell of coffee is strong here. Or maybe it's due to my heightened senses. "Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong." She looked up and there I was drowning in the blue ocean pair of eyes again. I didn't realize I am actually staring which is kind of rude until she speaks again. "I think I asked too much, if you don't want to talk about the issue, I cool with it. Sorry for being so nosy, Santana" she said with such gentle tone. Hearing her voice calling my name is like heaven on earth, I guess I need to get use to this. "No, you are not. Stop apologizing over minor stuffs, do you apologize this often with your friends?" I assured her and smiled, I just couldn't stop smiling at her. "Sorry, oops I mean okay I won't do it again." I let out a small laugh and proceed to the counter to place our coffee order. We found an empty table and sat down.
"So how long have you been staying here?" my turn for questions, I asked although I already knew the answer. One step at a time, quoted from JordinSparks. "Well I moved here alone when I graduated from my dance school and have been working since then" she answered with a subtle smile. So the conversation went on for hours as we share our past and such, more of her past actually as I tried to keep my history to the bare minimum. I don't wish to create any unnecessary lies, it's just not right.
Then her phone rang and it's the sign that she need to go, we exchanged numbers as I asked if she could accompany me to the furniture store the next day. I have not move into the apartment yet, not until I get new furniture in. And I want to move in right away, as I want to spend more time with her. Talking to Brittany is something I enjoy doing very much. And I have not been able to enjoy myself after I became a vampire. Or to be precise, I could not feel any emotions at all, not until I met her. She agreed to my request and I could not help but lift up a smile again.
Now I know I am getting back what I have lost.
