A/N: Welcome back to Track Crush! You know honestly I was going to leave it as a one shot, but after a reviewer said that they wished they could've seen the date, I figured, eh why not. So now here's chapter two of Track Crush, also I'm sorry it's late, I caught the flu and I've been bedridden for days.
I don't own Glee, Disney or the characters, it's just fact. Please enjoy
It was finally Friday and Rachel couldn't have been more excited. Tomorrow was her date with Santana, and she couldn't wait. During the week, Rachel had eagerly helped the injured Latina carry her things to and from class, heck she even drove her to school and home, whenever Puck didn't. Although there may have been a slight argument over who would chauffeur the shy girl.
But regardless Rachel loved spending time with the taller girl. She had found Santana's shyness to be adorable, especially when she was complimented. Though a few people gave Rachel crap about her obvious crush on Santana, she paid them no mind. Although the nay sayers did get a surprise slushie facial, not that Rachel had anything to do with it of course. And at the moment she was waiting outside with Brittany and Quinn for Santana to get to school. Puck won today's argument for driving Santana to school.
"Why is it whenever I miss school, good stuff happens" Brittany asked grinning at her best friends. Quinn chuckled,
"Couldn't tell ya B, but Rachel has a date tomorrow" Quinn said poking at Rachel's side.
"Oh my gosh Rae, finally, I have been waiting for this day" Brittany squealed.
"I also can't believe it; oh Brittany Santana is just the sweetest thing" Rachel gushed. Both blondes giggled at their brunette's behavior. Suddenly the blare of a truck horn rang through the parking lot and all three girls turned their heads to see a black Ram Dodge 1500 drive into the closest parking space to the school. Rachel grinned when she saw Puck jump out of the truck.
"Hey ladies, here to pick up the injured I see" Puck called waving to the girls now approaching the truck.
"Of course Noah, what kind of person would I be if I didn't help the most beautiful girl in the world" Rachel said as Santana's door opened, she knew Santana would hear the complimenting words. And a smile graced her face when she saw that Santana was in fact blushing. Rachel loved Santana's blush.
"Puck could you hand me my crutches please" Santana asked meekly as she carefully made her way to the ground. But just before she made it, she felt a pair of arms go around her waist to keep her steady. Santana squeaked at the contact, but when she saw that the hands belonged to Rachel. Once she was safely on the ground, Santana turned with a deeper blush and thanked Rachel while looking at the ground.
"I'd hate for you to fall" Rachel said as Puck handed Santana her crutches and Rachel Santana's bag.
"T-Thanks Rachel, t-that's really nice of you" Santana stammered before the group of five headed towards the building.
During the day, Rachel decided that just for today, since they asked so much that all their friends would get to carry Santana's things. But as the day went on, there had been a few close calls. Mercedes and Sam had her first period, Puck and Kurt had her second and third, and Rachel, Brittany and Quinn had her the rest of day. But there were a lot of close calls today. During the break before second started, Santana almost slipped and fell since the janitors failed to put out a warning sign. But luckily Puck had caught Santana just in time and the only thing that fell was her left crutch.
The next incident was during fifth period, Santana needed to use the restroom, but they had been testing when she asked. But she had long finished hers and Santana's bladder had finally caught up to her. Rachel was focused working on hers so Quinn got to escort her. But for a brief moment, Santana had forgotten she needed her crutches and she got up and messily fell with a surprised yelp. Everyone had looked up when they heard the fall, Rachel, Brittany and Quinn all shot out of their desks and went to aid the poor girl. Those who dared to laugh were given a threat by Quinn and a glare from the two Cheerios.
"Are you alrighty San" Brittany asked extending her hand and pulling the girl with slight difficulty. Santana nodded wordlessly as she put all her weight on her good foot and pushed up.
"I'm okay, but I still need to use the restroom" Santana smiled weakly. Quinn smiled back in a comforting manor as she escorted Santana to the rest room. Rachel tried to finish her test, but her concentration was shifted to Santana's wellbeing. She had hoped that Santana didn't hurt herself, well; hurt herself more than she already was.
"Ms. Berry, the class is ending in ten minutes, please hurry and finish up your test dear" Rachel's teacher said in a stern tone.
"Sorry Ms. Vernon" Rachel apologized before facing her test and staring at it.
"I hope San's okay" Rachel thought before her mind fell into the void of her thought process for the test. And by the time Santana and Quinn had returned Rachel was zoned out and writing like crazy. And two minutes before the bell, Rachel and her friends had finished their tests and were now conversing.
"So, what are you guys gonna do tomorrow" Brittany asked as she leaned forward in clear interest. Rachel glanced at Santana, who was fiddling with her thumbs before smiling; she loved how cute Santana looked when she did that.
"Well we were planning on watching a movie, but I figured I would bring a few things over for after the movie" Rachel said.
"Really, what are you bringing" Santana asked looking up in curiosity.
"Cards, food, things like that" Rachel shrugged.
"That sounds wonderful" Santana grinned, and just as she did, the bell rang and everyone picked up their things to head to their lockers, naturally Rachel took Santana's things, Quinn grabbed Santana's crutches for her and Brittany helped her up again. The day was almost over!
The last two periods were not eventful, much to Rachel's relief. Santana did not have any more incidents, but unfortunately that meant that the classes were absolutely, painfully, mind numbingly boring. They had history for their sixth period, and all they talked about was WWI and the 1920's or "Raging Twenties", now normally Santana was interested in American History, but today her mind was thinking about nothing but tomorrow, so her normal boundless attention and patience for the class, was now nonexistent. She tried to focus but it was rather difficult, especially when her pain medication was starting to wear out. So she took this now slowly growing pain as an opportunity to go to the nurse. She raised her hand as the teacher began to talk about the stock market crash, and waited for him to acknowledge her.
"Yes, Santana, you have a question" her teacher asked. Everyone's eyes seemed to look at her now, and Santana felt like she was shrinking, she didn't like getting attention in class.
"U-Um, I-I was wondering if I could go to the nurse, my ankle is starting to hurt" Santana said tentatively sinking in her desk a bit. The teacher glanced at the girl's ankle and picked up on her nervousness.
"Of course Santana, if you need an escort please take one, but be careful" the teacher said in concern, he liked Santana, she was good student.
"Thank you Mr. Frazier" Santana said with a small smile before gesturing for Rachel to come with her. The two girls walked to the nurse talking about absolutely nothing and laughing the whole way there. Once they had made it, Rachel sat close to Santana as she talked to the nurse and received the pain medicine her father told her to give to the nurse incase her ankle started to act up during the school hours. And after that, they went on back to class.
Last period was also boring, so when the sweet bell finally rang for the weekend, everyone burst from their desks and made their way to their cars, to the bus, or however they got to school in the first place. But alas, Rachel and Brittany were not to leave with everyone else, they had another Cheer practice today, so with much reluctance on Rachel's part, Puck was going to take Santana home. But, being the lady she was, Rachel walked Santana out to Puck's car and waved her off.
"I can't wait for tomorrow" Rachel squealed when the black truck drove off. She skipped to practice that day.
Finally it was Saturday and Santana couldn't have been more excited, Rachel was coming over for their 'stay in' date. She made herself comfortable on the couch; her mother insisted she be there instead up upstairs in her room so she wouldn't risk tripping on the stairs. So while she waited for Rachel to show up, Santana was on the couch while Roxana, her pet Jack Russell Terrier, lay on her stomach. Santana was currently watching Cake Boss, and it was really good. Santana sighed in envy as she saw the cake being presented to the customer. It was a chocolate cake, made with the variety of chocolate types with a chocolate fountain flowing through the center.
"She is so lucky Roxy, why can't I get a chocolate fountain chocolate cake" Santana pouted. Roxana whined as Santana scratched the dog's head.
"Yeah, I guess, but do you think Rachel would get me a chocolate fountain cake" Santana asked in slight hope now looking at her dog. Roxana gave a snort in response.
"Yeah me too, oh I can't wait for you to meet her Roxy, she is the kindest person ever" Santana gushed. Roxana merely cocked her head to the side. Suddenly the dog's ears perked up and she turned to the window. Two seconds later Roxana sprang up from Santana's stomach and bounded to the door barking like crazy. And like any good dog owner, you know when they start barking, someone is either here, or they just want to make noise. But when Santana heard a car door shut she knew that Rachel had arrived.
"Mami, Rachel's here, what me to get the door" Santana called with a knowing smile.
"Santana Marisol Lopez, if I find you off that couch, you'll be wearing a cast next time around" her mom called back making Santana giggle.
"Okay Mami" Santana laughed as her mother rushed to answer the door.
"Ah, you must be Rachel, Santana has been going on about you for hours" Santana's mother gushed as she led the cheerio inside. Santana blushed,
"Mami, don't tell her that" Santana's mother chuckled as did Rachel.
"I don't mind at all, I'm sure my daddies would tell you the same thing about me if you had come over to my house" Rachel smiled as she ventured to the living room to find her date. As promised she had brought a bag filled with stuff like, popcorn, cards and candy.
"There you are" Rachel smiled suddenly Roxana came running back and leapt onto her master's stomach.
"Aw, who's this" Rachel asked going to pet the dog.
"This is my dog Roxana" Santana said sitting up a bit.
"Well she's adorable, so have you picked out a movie you wanted to watch" Rachel asked sitting down close to the girl. She had moved Santana's legs so that they were now on top of her lap, but still propped up.
"Actually I couldn't decide on one, so you wanna do a movie marathon" Santana asked hopefully.
"That sounds amazing, what kind of marathon are doing, horror, romance, comedy" Rachel started to list off, but Santana shook her head.
"N-No, I was kind of hoping for a Disney movie marathon, since I basically grew up with them" Santana explained as she pointed to a DVD case filled to the corners with Disney movies.
"You like Disney movies" Rachel questioned, though there was no sign of scrutiny in her voice. Santana looked at her lap and twiddled her fingers.
"Yeah, but if you don't like them that's cool, I think Mami has some other stuff we can watch" Santana rambled, but she was stopped by a small finger put to her lips.
"Hey, don't worry, I love Disney movies" Rachel assured her and Santana's eyes went bright with excitement.
"Really" Santana piped and Rachel nodded,
"Yes, now let's pick out the first one and get comfortable okay" Rachel asked before getting up to go to the DVD case. Santana watched from her seat as the tiny girl maneuvered to the case, and when she got there she asked Santana what she wanted to watch first.
"I always start with Bambi" Santana declared and Rachel nodded,
"One famous Deer movie, coming up, and while the previews roll I'll go make our popcorn okay" Rachel said taking the DVD out of its case and going to the DVD player.
"Deal" Santana nodded. This was gonna be a fun day.
During Mulan, Santana had shifted positions so that her head was in Rachel's lap. Rachel did not oppose, not in the silence, in fact she welcomed the idea of her potential girlfriend's head in her lap. When Aladdin came on Rachel and Santana decided to sing A Whole New World together, and they sounded wonderful. And as the movie progressed the movie became empty, so Rachel reached, to the best of her abilities, to her bag and pulled out the candy. Santana immediately reached for the gummy bears, but Rachel pulled them just out of the Latina's reach.
"Hey I called them" Santana pouted and Rachel shrugged playfully,
"I like gummy bears too you know, how about we share" Rachel proposed. Santana didn't even think about it,
"Okay" and the two continued with the movie, shoving the gummy bears in their face.
The next movie they watched was the Fox and the Hound, but around that that time, it was close to four in the afternoon, which meant Rachel would have to leave soon. And not only that, Santana had fallen asleep in her lap. Probably due to the fact that Rachel had been stroking the injured girl's hair since the ending of Aladdin, but Santana didn't seem to mind. So, even now, Rachel continued to stroke the girl's hair and marvel at its silkiness. This date couldn't get any better. Suddenly Santana shifted her entire body to where her face was on Rachel's chest and her arms were wrapped around the smaller girl's waist. This made Rachel blush lightly, never mind, now it couldn't get any better.
Once the movie was done, Rachel, with much reluctance, knew it was time for her departure, her fathers were expecting her for their family dinner. She looked down at Santana and smiled gently, Santana looked so innocent laying on her. Her mouth was slightly open and she was snoring softly.
"Oh, I hate to wake her up" Rachel thought to herself as she gently shook the girl's shoulders.
"Tana, Tana you need to wake up" Rachel said soothingly. The response she got was Santana clinging to her tighter and nudging her head deeper into the girl's chest.
"Aw, she's the cutest thing" Rachel gushed. But the Cheerio knew she had to try again. So she moved one of her hands to the sleeping girl's side and scratched it lightly. This earned her a tired moan and slight mumble. Rachel raised her thin brow with intrigue, this could be fun. So she repeated her ministrations again only a bit rougher this time, and this earned the girl a louder moan and a muffled stop it.
"Stop huh, nah I don't think so" Rachel said mischievously before throwing a full on assault on the girl's rib cage. And in no time at all Santana's brown eyes shot open and she began to squeal,
"R-Rachel, s-stop-stop it, hahahahaha!" Santana managed to gasp as she writhed on top of the cheerleader.
"Oh good your awake now" Rachel said after about five minutes of sheer tickle torture. Santana laughed breathlessly as she moved herself to sit up the best she could.
"I've been awake for like five minutes" Santana panted as her laughter died down a bit.
"Yes, but I just had to make sure you were awake" Rachel winked making the other girl blush again.
"I was comfortable where I was, why did you wake me up" Santana asked pouting.
"Though as much I want to stay, my daddies are expecting me home soon, so I have to go" Rachel sighed sadly.
"Aw, really" Santana asked in great disappointment as Rachel began to stand up and stretch.
"Afraid so sweetheart, but I really did enjoy our stay in date" Rachel smiled.
"Me too" Santana smiled back,
"Hey could you help me up" Santana asked and Rachel nodded vigorously before helping the girl to her feet.
"Thanks for coming over, I had a lot of fun" Santana said biting her lip in the cutest way possible. Rachel took a step so that she was closer to the bashful child.
"Thank you for having me" Rachel replied before kissing the girl on the cheek. Santana giggled childishly as a dark hue crept on her already exotically dark features.
"I swear you are the cutest thing alive" Rachel sighed before pulling the taller girl into a hug. Santana quickly returned it. This was the best date ever.
After cleaning up the living room Rachel and Santana were at Santana's front door, it was time for Rachel to depart.
"Again, thank you for the stay in date it's probably the best one I've ever been on" Santana smiled.
"Well, I'm glad to hear it hopefully there will be more to come" Rachel winked playfully and Santana nodded in agreement,
"That would be nice, and hopefully when I can walk properly again we can go on 'outdoor' dates" Santana asked hopefully.
"Of course, and believe it or not, I have a few ideas on where we could go" Rachel said in a knowing voice. This caused the Latina to become excited,
"Yay, well I'll text you later" Santana said as she began to wave goodbye.
"I'd rather call you, since I love your voice so much" Rachel said smoothly.
"Okay, bye Rae" Santana said sounding a bit stunned with yet another blush growing on her face. Rachel giggled before kissing the tip of the taller brunette's nose.
"Bye, Tana, have a good weekend" then Rachel sauntered off to her car. And as Rachel drove off and Santana closed the door they both had the same thought,
"Best date ever"
TADA! The true ending of Track Crush, I hope you all enjoyed it! See you around!
