Santana led Alex into her room. It was a stark contrast to Alex's own room at home since Santana's room was roughly half the size of Alex's entire house. Alex had been surprised that they were going upstairs. She thought that the basement would be the only place there would be room to teach someone how to dance, but now that she saw the cavern that Santana called a bedroom, she understood why she was brought up here.
"Holy fuck," Alex said as she checked out the entire room. "I can't believe I let you into my house. I think your closet is bigger than my entire room. Oh wait, it definitely bigger than my entire room."
Santana laughed as Alex pretended to get lost in various areas of her room. Santana tried not to bring people into her room. She would rather go elsewhere since whenever people came into her room, Santana usually saw flashes of jealousy in their eye, but it was different with Alex. She just joked around, there were none of the usual spite that people threw at her when it came to her family's wealth. The only other person who had never showed any jealousy was Brittany, but she didn't come around as much anymore. To Santana, her room had always been too large and too lonely.
"Are you going to get changed?" Alex asked Santana. "Because I really don't know anything about dancing, so we should get started sooner as opposed to later."
Santana nodded and walked over to her dresser as Alex continued to walk around and explore her room. Santana quickly slipped off to her bathroom to change. She usually wasn't shy about showing her body, just ask almost any guy at school, but something about the way she had acted when Alex had changed made her want to change in private. When she came back into her room, Alex was still looking at her books, so Santana hoped she hadn't noticed her absence at all.
"You have great taste in books," Alex said as she turned to Santana. "I love almost all of these novels. Why did you go to the bathroom to change? I'm a little embarrassed that I changed in front of you now. If I made you uncomfortable at all, I'm really sorry."
"You didn't make me uncomfortable. I just didn't, it's just… honestly I don't really know why I changed in the bathroom. I have never done that before. Uh, anyway, let's see how good you are at dancing!" Santana said with enough fake enthusiasm to convince Alex to change the subject. With a nod and a smile from Alex, Santana went to her iPod dock to try and find a song with a good beat to try and teach Alex some basic dance moves. Santana knew she should have just counted out the beat while teaching her, but she needed some background noise to distract her. She finally just decided to play the playlist of all the songs that they had done in glee club so far and just start with showing her some of the choreography they had done recently.
After about twenty minutes and a couple basic routines, Santana realized that she had her work cut out for her. It wasn't that Alex couldn't do the dance moves. She was athletic enough that she learned them almost immediately, but there was a problem. Alex just didn't look right when she danced. She wasn't relaxed at all and seemed embarrassed by everything. Santana couldn't believe it. Since she had met Alex, the blonde had seemed like she had confidence in everything she did. This wasn't going to work if Alex couldn't just dance. She was thinking about it too much, and it showed.
"Ok, just stop," Santana said as she turned off the music. "What is up with you?"
Alex turned away from Santana and went and sat on her bed. "Sorry, but I told you this was a bad idea. I can't dance, and no matter what you do, its not going to get any better. I don't think this whole glee thing is going to work out the way you hoped. Maybe I could be like the understudy or something? I don't think you want me on stage at nationals unless you have to."
"What are you talking about?" Santana asked as she crossed the room and stood in front of Alex. "You need to learn how to relax and just go with the flow. I can teach you how to do this, you just need to stop being so shy and embarrassed about everything. What happened to all your confidence, wonder girl?"
"I'm extremely confident when it comes to things that I know I can do well. School, basketball, flirting, those are all things that I'm good at. Dancing is something I suck at."
"Well we just need to fix that. I have an idea. Why don't we just dance together? We could get your dancing confidence up by just dancing instead of teaching you routines."
"Wait. Haven't we been dancing this whole time?"
"We have been show choir dancing. That's not really actually dancing." Santana walked across the room and changed the playlist on her iPod to her club mix. She always used this mix whenever Brittany and she wanted to dance, so she knew all the songs were perfect for what she was trying to do. She danced across the room to Alex and held out her hand. Alex grabbed her hand and let Santana pull her off the bed.
Alex stood there unsure of what she was supposed to do. Santana rolled her eye with how awkward the girl was. She didn't understand how a girl who was in that good of shape who could probably pull off any dance move could not dance at all. She pulled the girl closer to her saying, "Just do whatever I do and don't worry about what you look like."
"It's not that easy… I don't even know how to do what you are doing."
Santana couldn't believe how hard it was to just get the girl to dance. She moved to stand behind Alex and put her hands on her hips. "Close your eyes and let me move you then. All dancing starts in the hips. Once you get that down, everything will come easily, and you can get you confidence. Now just relax and breathe."
Alex did exactly what she was told. She had years of conditioning when it came to following orders. She closed her eyes and listened to the music. She let Santana move her and gradually she started to move on her own. Santana realized Alex was finally getting it but didn't move her hands. She didn't know why, but she moved closer to the blonde instead.
Alex turned around and opened her eyes. She looked down at Santana as the Latina looked up at her. Alex leaned in, and Santana decided what the hell. It wasn't like Brittany was breaking up with Artie any time soon.
Alex stopped leaning in. she had suddenly remembered how Santana had told her how she was in love with Brittany. Alex didn't want to force anything on Santana and began pulling away when suddenly Santana kissed her. Alex deepened the kiss and pulled Santana closer to her. Santana moved even closer to Alex at the same time, and their combined movement caused the two girls to fall onto the bed.
Suddenly, Alex snapped out of the haze she was in. She rolled over so that she was on top of Santana, and ended the kiss. Alex stared straight into the girl's confused eyes. "I lied. It's not right like this. Break up with Sam then we can continue this make out session."
Santana was momentarily stunned into silence but murmured, "Ok." Alex smiled and kissed the girls forehead. "I will break up with Sam tomorrow at school. He doesn't mean anything to me anyway."
"Well his loss, my gain." Alex said as she rolled of Santana and stood up. "How about we practice some more of those glee dances?"
"Seriously? You think you are ready?"
"Yeah, I think I am overflowing with confidence right now," Alex said with a cocky grin that caused Santana to roll her eyes.
Thanks for all the reviews! I put off doing my homework in order to write this, so I hope that doesn't bite me in the ass. As always please review! :D
