"Yeah Q. Me and Berry" Santana said looking at Rachel.
"Hunni it's Berry and I" Rachel corrected her, to which Santana just rolled her eyes.
"Oh wow. Your dating now? So are you two like having sex? Because San you said that sex wasn't dating last year when we had sex that time we were drunk. And Rachel I thought you liked Finn. Well I know that he likes you. I heard him say downstairs that he wants to take you to dinner tonight because we're in New York and you love New York" Brittany said smiling up at the two girls who had now moved closer.
"Well yes Brittany, Santana and I are now in a relationship. And I'd rather not discuss our sex lives, as that is quiet private. As for Finn, I no longer have feelings for him and if he were to ask me out to dinner, I would have to decline. Plus, I already have plans with Santana for our celebration dinner" Rachel said, smiling at the blond Cheerio.
"Oooohhhh what are you guys celebrating? Is it because my new little cousin Ben was born? Because we already celebrated that when my cousin got that big party where she got loads of presents for the baby" Brittany said.
"No B, it's not for Baby Ben. It's been 4 months since our first date" Santana said as she turned her head to the brunette and leaned forward to kiss her cheek.
"Oh, puh - lease!" Quinn said, taking a step toward the couple. "You can't seriously be telling me that you are getting your freak on with Manha-" But Quinn was cut off when Santana took a giant step towards her and pulled Rachel behind her back, keeping her safe.
"Listen Fabray, I'm telling you this once, and once only. You will not, under any circumstance, EVER call Rachel Manhands ever again. Or any other hurtful name for that matter. I wanted your approval for this, because your one of my best friends, but I dont actually need it. Because I love Rachel and she loves me and I will do anything to keep that smile on her face, even if that includeds not having you and Brittany in my life" Santana said, sending her famous death glare Quinns way, daring the girl to respond with attitude.
"San, chill. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Ber- Rachel. Look no more. No more names, no more slushies. I promise. S, I dont want to lose you again. We've been through alot together and if Rachel... If Rachel makes you happy, then we...We'll support your relationship. Won't we Brit?" Quinn said as she smiled slightly at the girls.
"Yeah ofcourse!" Brittany said jumping up from the bed and grabbing Rachel into a bone crushing hug. "Yay! Now I have another friend and I don't have to be mean to Rachel anymore and she can finally let me see her answers in math so I don't have to copy off Becky anymore!"
Santana looked at her girlfriend and bestfriend, still hugging. She smiled. She was happy to see that B was already accepting Rachel. She turned to Quinn and looked down into the girls eyes.
Quinn took two steps forward and enveloped Santana in her own hug. "So I'm guessing that you've been with her all summer and that's why no one ever saw you outside of Cheerios?" Quinn whispered into the dark haired girls hair, felling a nod in response.
The first date between the two girls had been 2 weeks before Summer Break. Leaving them the entire summer to get to know one another. Although it did only take Santana until their 2nd date to ask Rachel to be her girlfriend.
*FLASHBACK*
As the two girls broke apart, they looked into each others eyes. Silence had taken over them as they just stood there. Just simply standing, fingers still laced, eyes still wondering into each others vision. But it was different. Everything had changed. Sure everything had changed when Santana sat down at the table across from Rachel, instead of seeing who the girl was and running for her life. Everything had changed when conversation started to flow easily for the girls, once they both relaxed a bit. Everything had changed when the continued the date, like originally planned and continued onto the movie. Everything changed the minute their hands laced in that theater.
Everything changed, when their lips met and in that moment, something juct clicked. This felt right.
Santana was the first to break the silence. "Rachel, I want to try this, us. And I know that this is fast but.. I do. I want to try" She said, still looking into the shorter girls eyes. She couldn't look away. Those brown orbs were just too amazing to look away from. She wanted to know these eyes. She wanted to study them. She wanted to study those lips, taste them. She wanted to be held in those arms, she wanted to hold the girl in her arms.
Rachel stayed quiet, continuing to look into Santana's eyes. "I, I want to ... I want to be with you" Santana whispers as she looks down at their laced fingers. When she looks back up at Rachel's face, she's met with that smile. That smile that makes her heart skip a beat. How did she never see this smile, this way before?
"Are you being serious Santana? Because I like you, I do. But as forgiving as I am, I would never forgive you if this turns out to be a joke. I understand that this was our parents that set us up, but if your joking right now, then I just..." Rachel almost whispered the last line.
"Rachel I swear to you. I swear to you that I am being honest. I want to try this with you. I want to try this relationship. I want to get to know you" Santana said, eyes watering.
"Santana, why are you crying?" Rachel asked, voice laced with concern as cupped the girls cheek and wiped away the tear that had escaped.
"I... Rachel I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for all the hurtful things I've said to . I'm so sorry for all the times that I've just stood back and let people slushie you. And I'm so sorry that I've never defended you" Santana said, now shaking. What am I doing? Our first date I'm breaking down. I would be long gone if someone did this to me on a date.
"But Santana, you have defended me" Rachel said, smiling at the memory.
"What? When?"
"Kindergarden. The first day back after Winter Break. We were outside and I was singing 'Somewhere over the rainbow'. I was wearing my new sweater and a hat that my Grammie had gotten for me. David Karofsky took my hat and pushed me down in the snow. Called me a freak with a stupid voice and was leaning down to put snow in my hat when you -"
"Punched him in the belly and took your hat off him... You remember that?" Santana asked, stunning herself with the memory. So many years ago had she stood up for the other girl. All this time wasted when they could have started a friendship right there and then.
The diva nodded.
"Then you helped me up, tucked my hair behind my ears and put my hat back on me. You told me to not let people bother me. That your mom always says that when people call you names or treat you badly, it's because they are either jealous or they just don't understand you because they are insecure or ignorant. Or when someone pushes you down they might just have a little crush on you, especially little boys. You called me a superstar. You smiled at me, pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. Height was still to your advantage. Then Quinn Fabray saw you hugging me and told you that you couldn't hug me because my fathers were sinners. 2 people of the same sex aren't meant to like each other like that. You left go of me and walked away with her and mumbled 'Freak'. But you did -"
"Look back and wink" Santana finished. There was so many memories from before her mother had died that she had trouble remembering.
"The Santana I've seen since then has been the Santana that walked away, leaving me standing in the playground after calling me a freak after just telling me to ignore the names. If we are going to start a relationship, I want the Santana that picked me up off the ground and dusted me off and made me feel special. I want the kind Santana. I want the flirty Santana that was already sending out knee buckling winks in Kindergarden." Rachel laughed, still stroking the taller girls cheek with her thumb.
"Then you'll get that Santana" The taller girl stated, leaning into Rachel's touch on her cheek. "I want to be that Santana. I hate the person I've become. My mom... My mom would be so upset with me" And that's when the girl finally broke down. Rachel wrapped her arms around Santana as best she could considering the height difference. . Santana was usually only roughly 3 inches taller then her, but the heels that she was wearing tonight added an extra 3.
"San, you don't have to tell me now. But when you feel that you can, you can come to me and talk to me about your mom. I'm always here for you if need me to talk to. I always have been even if we haven't been friends. You have my number, text or call at anytime. And Santana, your mom would be proud of you right now. You just wanting to change your ways is making her proud. And don't worry, I'll help you!" Rachel beamed as she felt the girl calm down.
Santana lifted her head and looked into the smaller girls eyes. Sincere. She's being sincere. She wants to help me. Let her. But what about school... I can't just suddenly change myself now, people will think I'm cracked. And fucking Finn would have something to say about me being nice to Rachel.. Ugh that boy!
Santana leaned forward and kissed Rachel once again. This time she wrapped her hands around the shorter girls neck and locked her wrist. She felt Rachel deepened the kiss. Rachel wrapped her arms around Santana's waist and slowly ran her tongue over Santana's bottom lip, asking for entrance. As the kiss deepened, and tongues battled for dominance, Santana thought she was seeing fireworks. Rachel's lips were unlike anything she had ever kissed before. Sure she'd kissed half of the school already, girls and guys. But this was different. Maybe it was the height thing. Or that Rachel's lips were like kissing a babies cheek with how soft they were. Maybe that had something to do with her Berry flavoured lip gloss... Go figure! Berry taste like Berries...
Rachel pulled away first as nuzzled her nose with the Latina's. Both girls eyes sparkled as they opened their eyes. The fireworks that Santana thought she saw were now visible... in the form of Rachel's front porch light flicking on and off. Giggles could be heard coming from inside the front door. How didn't I hear those before?
"Alright guys, relax! " Rachel yelled as she smiled up at a blushing Santana.
"We need to talk about this? But tomorrow okay? I fear that my fathers will possibly cause the light bulb to explode or short a circuit or something with the amount of flickering with the lights."
"Call me when you get up and are ready and I'll come over and get you okay?" Santana said smiling warmly at the girl.
"Yeah. Oh, and Santana?"
"Yes Rach?"
With her hand already on the door knob, Rachel turned around and leaned in and gave the Latina a slow kiss on the lips before pulling away. "I have a feeling that 1) Our parent's are gonna rub this in our faces if this turns out good" More giggles could be heard coming from the other side of the door. Rachel rolled her eyes at this, while Santana joined in giggling. "And 2... this may be a really good summer" Rachel smirked, leaned in and gave Santana another small kiss. When she pulled away, Santana had the biggest smile on her face.
"Goodnight Santana" Rachel said as she opened the door, took a step in and winked at the girl as she closed the door.
"Goodnight Superstar" Santana whispered back as she descended the Berry front porch. Inside, she could hear shrieks of laughter and squeals of joy. Maybe she wasn't the only one feeling on cloud nine after such an amazing date.
###
When Santana pulled up at her own house, she parked and turned off her car. She looked at her front door and saw that the porch light was still on.
Porch light.
Fireworks.
Rachels lips.
Rachel.
With a big, stupid grin on her face, Santana made her way out of her car and into her house. She walked towards the kitchen, where she could see a light on. In the centre of the kitchen, she saw her father and Juliana sitting at the kitchen table, both sipping out of coffee cups.
"San! Hey! How was your date?" Juliana asked enthusiastically.
"It was... It was good" Santana replied as she sat down next to her dad and hugged him.
"You sound surprised mija?"
"I... I am. I know Rachel from school. I would NEVER have thought that I would enjoy myself on a date with her as much as I did" Santana said, smiling at her father. She still had that stupid grin.
"Ohhhhh Juliana! I know that smile! Someones got a little girlfriend" Santana's father teased as he and Juliana laughed
Santana giggled to herself. That was until she looked up to see the bright smiles on her father and Juliana's faces. Oh Lord... She had been caught smiling like a fool.
"You guys... I really like her" Santana admitted.
"Well that's good San! Because Hiram and Leroy have already called and said how much of an amazing time Rachel had on her date. And now that you and Rachel are ...an item? It gives us more of an excuse to spend time with them! You guys are an item now, yes? Because Leroy sorta went into detail about some kissing that he witnessed" Juliana giggled as she reached across the table and took Santana's hand.
Juliana treated Santana like an equal. She didn't push to be treated like a mother. Because well, she wasn't Santana's mother. Juliana and Santana's relationship was friendly. They were friends. They respected each other and Santana showed her as much respect as she did her father. Which was good, because when she needed a friend and not a parent, Juliana was the person she could rely on.
For the past 6 years, Juliana was there. And now she sorta of felt like she owed the women. She had given guidance to Santana through puberty and what not. After her mother died, Juliana was the one who put that smile back on her Father's face. Now the least she could do in return was date her parents best friends daughter. Well... that wouldn't be my first reason. My first reason would be Rachel Berry's eyes... then her lips.. then that body. Omg her body! Britney Spears school girl Rachel Berry had shown me the abs that girl was hiding underneath those sweater... those abs...
Suddenly Santana lost her thought as a hand was waved in her face. "Mija, Juliana asked you a question" Santana's dad said as he lowered his hand now that he had gotten the girls attention.
"I.. I think so. We're gonna talk tomorrow, I'll let you guys know. I'm going to bed. I'll see you when you get back from your trip" Santana said, getting up from the table.
"Goodnight Mija"
"Night San"
###
Santana had woken up early, 6am to be exact. Usually this was only acceptable when Cheerios was involved, but today, she felt high on life. Omg I can't believe I just thought that. High on life? Ugh I'm turning into a lifetime movie.
She was currently passing her house for the 4th time as she did laps around the block. Miles later, she finally decided that it was time to go inside and maybe get in touch with Rachel. Me calling someone to arrange another get together?... Well that's a first... Maybe I could use a shower first
She headed inside, up the stairs and into her room. Her Dad and Juliana had already left for their trip to Maine to see Juliana's parents.
She walked towards her window to open her curtains as her room was still in darkness. That was, until she saw a light flash next to her bed. Her phone.
Rachel : Goodmorning Santana. You said to contact you today to arrange a 'hangout' between us to discuss our situation. Let me know when you are available. As you know, I do not have access to a car right now, so I will be needing you to drive to collect me. Rachel Berry*
Oh wow... She not only talks in paragraphs... but text's too? Omg I have to fix that if she's going to be my girlfriend. My Girlfriend. Rachel Berry is going to be My GirlFriend... I can be down with that... Oh God I need to shower. Shit, gotta reply to her first.
Santana : Hey Rach. Goodmorning to u 2 :P Yeah we can get 2gether. I'm just about to jump into the shower. How about I collect u at 11:30 & we can go for a walk in the park or somethin? San :)
Rachel : Yes Santana, I look forward to seeing you. Rachel Berry*
###
As Santana bent down to tie her shoes, she noticed her memory box sticking out frm under her bed. She reached down and pulled the box up.
She had been adding to this box since her mother died. It was already half full with whatever she could grab before her father had packed it up into boxes of his own. Her father had also inserted some pictures of his own for her. In the box she found a picture of her on her first day of Kindergarden, her first day of highschool, a few from Cheerios. The picture of the group from Glee. A picture of her Quinn and Brittany the day they went to the fun fair and got their faces painted, it was in a 'Best Friends Forever' frame. But that was before high-school had started. Sure they were still friends, but Santana didn't know if she could still trust them.
At the end of the box, she found a few family picture's that she hadn't remember seeing before. The picture that stuck out though was a picture from her childhood.
It was her. And Rachel Berry. Both around 5 years old. The 2 girls were sitting on a park bench, eating ice cream. Santana's Mother and both of Rachel's fathers were standing at the side of the picture, all eyes on both of the girls. They were giggling to each other.
How come I don't remember this? How come I don't remember those eyes. Or that laugh?
She decided that this picture wasn't going back into a box. She walked over to her nightstand where a picture of her and Puck sat. Bye bye Puckerman! Santana thought as she took the picture of her and Puck out of the frame, placing the picture into the memory box and then sliding the picture of her and Rachel into the frame instead.
"There... that's better" Santana said smiling. She continued getting ready.
###
At 11, as she was walking out to her car, she texted Rachel to ask if she wanted some coffee while she was stopping to get one for herself. She girl politely declined.
Santana got to the Berry house at 11:30. She slowly got out of the car and made her way up to the front door. As she stood on the front porch and knocked she started to think of last night. It was the best date she'd every been on, not that she had been on much. If a guy wanted to treat her, he'd take her to breadsticks but usually a couple of his buddies would turn up with their girlfriends so Santana would be stuck with jocks and Cheerios. But last night, that was all new to her. She had enjoy her date. She had enjoyed her company, Rachel's company. She had stood in this very same spot and kissed the girl.
"Hello Santana" Rachel said as she opened her door and found the Latina standing there with a smile on her face.
"Oh, Hey Rach" Santana smiled back at the girl. Then she saw what Rachel was wearing. Red skinny jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt. Why doesn't she dress this hot in school? Yeah, those skirts show off her amazing legs, but ..Wow.. those jeans and that top. Those curves.
"Santana are you okay?" Rachel asked snapping Santana out of her thoughts.
"Um, yeah. Yeah sure I am. Are you really to go?"
"Yes, ofcourse." Rachel said, eyeing the girl suspiciously.
She noticed Santana looking at her hand and then she wiped her own off her pants. I wonder does Santana wish to hold my hand? Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try Rachel thought as she reach forward and laced her fingers with Santana. This earned her a wide grin from Santana as then came closer to Santana's car. The Latina opened Rachel's door for her and waited until she was in, before she closed it and then ran around to the drivers side.
"So um. I thought maybe we could go to the park for awhile. Talk abit. And then maybe some lunch and watch a movie at my house?" Santana said as she reversed out of the driveway.
"Yes Santana. That sounds lovely"
"Great" Santana beamed back at the girl
"Hey Rach, would it be okay if i .. If i held your hand again?" Santana asked shyly after a few moments of silence while she continued to drive. Why am i being like this? I'm Santana Lopez. I don't ask someone if I can hold their hand. They ask me if they can hold MY hand! Oh Please let her say yess!
Rachel answered by reaching across and grabbing Santana's free hand earning a small blush from the other girl. "You know Santana, You don't have to ask to hold my hand anymore. Maybe then you won't blush so much, although I do think that it may be one of the most cutest things I've ever seen" Rachel said as she giggled.
This caused Santana to blush more. As they pulled into the parking lot of the local park, Santana let go of Rachel's hand, both girls missing the warmth, grabbed her coffee cup and then exited the car. She locked it when she heard Rachel close her door and then slipped the keys into her pocket. With her coffee in the left hand, she grabbed Rachel's left hand with her right, earning her a smile from the girl as they began walking down the pathway the passed the playground.
After a couple minutes of walking, they decided to sit on the bench at the top of the hill, over looking the playground where small children could be seen and heard, running around the park.
"So..." both girls said as the same time, causing them to chuckle.
"Why isn't this awkward?" Santana blurted out. "This silence between us? Why doesn't it feel awkward. I mean, I feel comfortable just sitting here with you and walking with you even when not talking"
"The feeling is mutual Santana. I too, am trying to figure out why there is no awkward silences between us. Although last night there was no silence between us. Given our history and lack of conversation, I was surprised at the beginning that we actually had things in common to speak about, but I guess if we are going to be involved in A relationship, which I was hoping this was leading us to, then I guess that the silence between us should not be awkward" Rachel said, squeezing Santana's hand when she finished her long ranted sentance. She liked the feeling of it being in hers. She liked Santana. She liked Santana's soft skin in her hand. She liked Santana. She liked Santana's warm smile now that she was seeing it more frequently. She liked Santana's bright eyes and how comfortable she felt as she gazed into them. She Really liked Santana.
"So you want to be in a relationship with me Berry? Can't get enough of me huh? " Santana said smugly sending a wink towards the other girl.
"You know your sorta full of yourself, right Santana?" Rachel replied, obviously amused by the girls comment
"You wouldn't have me any other way and you know it" Santana said smirking at the girl. "But seriously... you really sure that you want to be in a relationship with me?" This time Rachel noticed that Santana seemed a little surprised.
"Why are you surprised that I would like to start a relationship with you?" Rachel said as she grabs Santana's coffee cup and took a sip out of it, ignoring the look she was getting from the other girl.
"Well.. I don't know if you remember this, but I am the girl who's been standing back almost our whole lives while people threw slushies at you, which you didn't deserve. And I'm the girl, who on a daily basis, has called you names that you didn't deserve. And I'm the girl who'll never forgive herself for doing all of those things to you" Santana said looking down at her hands.
"San, you apologized to me last night. And I forgive you. You still want to change right? You want to make your mom proud of you, although I'm sure she already is proud of you. You're the girl that wants to change, and I'm the girl who wants to be with you as you do" Rachel said as she she put down the coffee and grabbed both of Santana's hands in hers and kissed them. This caused a large smile to break out on Santana's face.
"Yeah Rach, I really do want this change, with you. And that is my coffee by the way! I asked you if you wanted one! And I guess that you're lucky I didn't put any cream in it sicne you didn't even ask!" She smiled at the girl. This seemed to ease the tension.
"Okay. Whatever, it tastes good! So you and I are a couple now, yes?" Rachel questioned
"Yes. If that is okay with you" Santana answered
"Oh well I don't know ... Maybe if you had a question for me then I could tell you if I was okay with it..." Rachel said, smirking at the girl.
"You gonna make me work for this Berry?"
"I wouldn't expect anything else" Rachel said as the smirked at the girl once again.
"Neither would I" Getting down on her knee infront of Rachel who was still sat on the park bench, Santana leaned into the girl. "Rachel Berry. I've been a bitch to you almost our entire lives. But I really want to try this with you. Us. So if you'll have me, I would be honoured, if you would accept my hand in being my sexy girlfriend that will let me have kisses and cuddles whenever I want, cause you know... I likes to get my cuddle on" Santana said, winking at the now giggling girl.
Rachel leaned forward and pulled the kneeling girl into a kiss. "You are a gangster dork you know that? And who would have thought. Fierce Badass Santana Lopez likes to cuddle!" Rachel laughed, now that Santana was getting up and taking her seat next to Rachel. As she sat down, she pulled Rachel up into her lap and rested the girls head under her chin as they both looked down over the playground where they watched the little kids running around.
###
Once the left the park, they get some food food to go from Breadstix. While there, Rachel went to the bathroom.
"I wish S was here. She hasn't answered any of my calls" Rachel heard Brittany say as the blonde entered the bathroom, followed by Quinn.
"Yeah B, I know. Maybe she doesn't have her phone on her?" Quinn said trying to reassure the girl. "How about we find something to cheer you up? We could go feed the ducks or we could go egg Berry's house" Quinn said. Throuh the gap in the stall, Rachel could see the smile on Quinn's face as she smiled into the mirror.
"How about feeding the ducks. I don't want to egg Rachel's house. It's still bright out and anyways, She's nice to me! Plus, you know S would get mad if we did! Remember how pissed she was when the new Cheerios toilet papered Rachel's house! Santana was sooo mad, I thought fire was gonna come out of her eyes!" Brittany said applying Lipgloss on her lips.
"Yeah. I think Santana's dad knows one of Manhand's fathers or something. He saw Cheerios when he came out to them that night. I heard a neighbour say it to my mother at church"
"I can't believe Finn and Rachel are over" Brittany said turning to Quinn.
"I can't believe Finn stayed with her as long as he did! He's lucky that they won their last football game, otherwise his rep would be in the gutter right now! Dating her any longer would cause anyone's social status to drop! Just think of the shit they'd have to deal with!"
"Yeah... It'd be like soo much worse then Kurt's was! Hey guess what I caught Rachel doing the other day!" Brittany said
"What?"
"Checking out Santana's butt in her Cheerios skirt!" Brittany giggled
"No way!"
"Yes Way"
"Wow... I guess we should warn S and the other Cheerios. Rapaul is on the lose! Maybe that's one of the reasons her and Finn didn't last" Quinn laughed as she and Brittany walked out the door.
Rachel leaned back on the stall door and tears began to fall. She had just gotten Santana. Literally just fucking got her! I got her smiling! And now I could be the downfall of it all!
As the slow tears continued to roll down her cheeks, she didn't hear the door open or steps as she slumped down onto the dirty bathroom floor.
"Rach?" Santana called as she looked around the bathroom.
"San? What are you doing in here?" Rachel asked, now wiping her tears. She knew that Santana couldn't see her through the door, but still.
"Rach Are you crying? You sound like your crying. Are you okay? Open the door" Santana asked frantically as she tried to pull open the only closed stall.
"Yeah I'm fine. I um... I'll be out soon, I just um... I think I may be coming down with a cold and my nose is a little stuffy. Maybe you should back away, I wouldn't want you to get sick. I know that Coach hates when her Cheerios are sick" Rachel said as another batch of tears hit her again as she said Cheerios, reminding of her of why she was currently sat on the floor.
She suddenly jumped as she saw a figure climbing over the bathroom stall above her head and drop down on the lid of the toilet and then onto the floor.
"Santana what are you doing?" Rachel asked puzzled by the Latina actions
"Me? What am I doing? What are you doing Rach? What are you doing sitting on the bathroom floor crying?" Santana said as she sat down next to the other girl.
"Do you want the truth?" Rachel mumbled
"No Ray, I want you to lie to me" Santana said sarcastically as she slipped her hands around Rachel's waist and cuddled into the girl.
So Rachel told Santana about what she had heard Brittany and Quinn saying. And then she told her of her fears that she would be the cause of Santana's fall from the top. And what if they didn't work out? Her reputation that she worked so hard to build would have gone downhill for nothing! At the end of her rant, Rachel looked up to Santana, to see her facial expression and was surprised to see a giant smile on the girls face. She sent the girl a questioning look.
"Did Brit really catch you checking me out?" Santana smirked.
"Out of all that I have said about my fear of our situation, THAT is all you heard?"
"Nah I heard what you said. I just don't care about that. Look Rach, I don't care what other people are going to think and I dont care anymore about how high up on the totem pole I am. I never have cared about what people thought! How do you think I got to the top? Not caring and my hot body!" Santana chuckled. "But maybe, for the sake of a relationship, we should just keep us between us. Like to test the waters. How about, for the summer, we explore us. If we get threw the 3 months, than we can keep gettin our mack on once school starts up and come out to the public prying eyes of McKinely" Santana said, trying to cheer the girl up.
"I hope we last" Rachel whispered.
"We will" Santana whispered in response and she leaned back from her cuddling position and tilted Rachel's chin up and pulled her towards her own lips, where they met.
