It's been awhile loyal readers, but I hope I didn't make you wait too long. Enjoy.

Santana's POV

"Hola mama." Puck said as he stepped past me and into my house. My mom eyed him curiously before kissing both his cheeks and giving him a spoonful of the ice cream Lela and Rey were trying to sneak. "Delicious." Puck said as he plopped down on the couch.

"Hey dipshit, where's the rest of your clan?" I asked Puck nudging his shoulder. We did this on occasion. Having a bunch of people from the neighborhood come over for good food and of course music. Puck was supposed to come with his mom and brother.

"Santana language." My mother warned from inside the kitchen. Before I even had the option of asking her when she got her super hearing power, the doorbell rang again. I walked over and opened in surprised to see that my cousin Selena showed up alone.

"Wow you showed up without a man on your arm? Must be a dry spell huh?" I joked. She punched me on the shoulder and pushed past me to go into the kitchen to help my mom cook. "Hey Puck, Quinn's coming right?" I asked. When I asked her yesterday, she didn't really give me a yes or no answer. She was distant and unresponsive so I just assumed that she'd show up eventually.

"I dunno, she didn't tell me. Is your girl coming?" Puck asked. I peered around the corner and into the kitchen to see if my mother noticed what Puck said. I could hear footsteps from upstairs as Lela, Rey, and Andres all descended down and came into the room. I put my finger to my lips warning Puck to keep his mouth shut about Rachel. I didn't want anyone in my family hounding her, especially because we weren't dating, and we weren't in a great spot right now.

"Big brother, how's it going?" Puck said shaking Andres' hand. I watched in amusement as Puck tried to puff out his chest to match the look of confidence from Andres. Puck idolized my older brother for whatever reason and I let them having their bonding time. I thought it was good for Puck. Andres is a better older brother than Mani. I let Lela go ogle Puck while I lifted Rey up into my arms.

"Hemanito, what do you say about opening the door with me?" I asked. He nodded quickly and started bouncing in my arms, anticipating the next ring of the doorbell. It took all of two seconds before another ring of the doorbell.

"Tana, just leave the door open." My mother shouted from the kitchen. Rey and I exchanged looks before we went over to open the door. Quinn was standing there with Rachel and Mani on either side of her. I found it a little odd that they all showed up at the same time, but I didn't question it. Mani spotted Andres and practically knocked me over as he ran over to greet him.

"Hey Q-." She brushed by me with a scowl on her face as she sat down on a chair in the living room. I didn't even get a chance to ask her why she was acting like a maniac. That just left Rachel. "Hi, I'm really happy you came." I told her truthfully. "Rey, greet Rachel."

"Hola Rachel." Rey said. He nudged my shoulder until I let him down. He ran over and jumped on Quinn's lap in an adorable attempt to cheer her up.

"You look cute." I told her. Eyeing her jean shorts, black Doc Martens and aqua blue v-neck.

"Try again." Rachel said with a smirk.

"You look sexy." I kissed both her cheeks, as it was the casual greeting and grabbed her hand to take her inside. Andres was the first to stand. I could see the curiosity oozing from his pours. "Rachel this is my brother Andres, Andres this is my friend Rachel." They shook hands and I noticed that practically everyone in the room had stopped talking and began looking at Rachel and Andres.

"Nice to meet you." Andres said winking at me before he sat back down. Rachel turned to me and smiled.

"The resemblance is crazy." Rachel said pushing my hair back behind my ear. "Where's your dad?" She asked.

"Eagar are we?" She nudged me and I caught her hand before she could try to push me again. "He's out back cooking; we still have plenty more people showing up. He'll be out later, but first give me a sec to talk to my friend over here." I nodded towards Quinn. "Hey Rey." He jumped up off Quinn's lap and ran over by my side. "You know how to keep a beautiful woman entertain right?"

"Yea, just keep talking and charm her pants off." He said proudly.

"And whatever you do, don't tell mom I told you that." I patted him on the head before I walked over towards Quinn. "What's up TT?"

"Fuck off." Quinn said crossing her arms over her chest.

"What's your deal? My mom's making goddamn empanadas. If you didn't want fucking empanadas then why the hell are you here?" Quinn uncrossed her arms and let out a loud sigh.

"My mom's bringing that dickhole of a boyfriend over here." Quinn informed me.

"So what? He's not your dad." I grabbed her arm tightly. "What are you gonna do? Stop your mom from ever being happy again."

"I don't like him-."

"You don't like anyone." I reminded her. "So what do you think of Rachel showing?"

"I think that when everyone gets here you should take her upstairs." I would've punched Quinn in the face if I thought I could get away clean. I new she could take me and I wasn't trying to take the chance.

"Real funny TT." I said looking towards the door when I heard it open. In came Ms. Puckerman and Ms. Fabray, who was joined by a man holding her hand. I could sense that Quinn was about to gag when they showed. "Finally some sane people." I said wrapping Ms. Puckerman into a hug.

"As much as we'd adore staying here with you Santana, we're looking for the adults." Ms. Fabray said. I pointed towards the kitchen and the two ladies started heading towards my mom and the scent of food. I stopped the man at Ms. Fabray's side by pressing my hand to his chest. He eyed me curiously. I held out my hand.

"Hi, I'm Santana." I told him. My stare wasn't cold, but it for sure wasn't welcoming. I had to eye this guy up. I needed to know that Quinn would be alright.

"Hi, my name's Derrick." He had a firm handshake but he wasn't trying to prove anything. He looked kind, well kind enough to make me worry a lot less. I didn't get why Quinn had beef with him, he seemed alright. "You have a lovely home." He said before following the two ladies into the kitchen. Once I was sure he was gone I turned around and glared at Quinn.

"Oh yea he's a real asshole." I said sarcastically.

"Language." Andres warned me.

"Bite me." I told him. I forced Puck and Mani to get up so Rachel and I could sit next to each other. "Can you believe I have to live with these people?" I joked.

"They're all lovely." She assured me. "What does your brother do?" She asked.

"He plays with action figures." I said with a huge grin on my face. Rachel smacked my knee and laughed.

"You know what I meant."

"He's a cop. A tough one too." I tried not to get serious about it. I respected my brother's job, I respected him, so it was hard not to tell Rachel all of that. "He just wants to make our dad proud. He wanted to join the marines right out of high school, my mom would've killed him herself if he did. So once he graduated college he went straight to the academy."

"Well your dad's a military man, your brother's a cop…you gonna be a firefighter or something?" I smiled at that. I didn't know how I could ever live up to Andres. I mean, in my condition I couldn't exactly chase down bad guys.

"Or something." I said with a small smile. I heard a knock at the door, I wondered why whoever it was didn't just come inside. Around here an open door meant anyone could enter. Rey rushed to the door to answer it, and within a second he was staring at me with those big brown eyes of his. "I'll be back." I told Rachel as I stood up and walked over to the door. As soon as our eyes made contact, I knew I was going to lose it.

I flung open the door and grabbed her arm pushing her back onto the porch. "What are you doing?" I said between clenched teeth. "I told you to stay away."

"Santana you're not thinking clearly." Chloe told me.

"What do you want me to think with? My brain? No I've got heart, I've always had heart." She rubbed my shoulder as if that would make everything okay. It wouldn't. I couldn't handle this. Not again.

"That's a funny thing to say Santana." God how I wanted to hit her. Over and over and over again. "Look I didn't come here to hurt you…I just, I basically spent my life here. I saw the lights on, the door was open and-."

"You're not a part of this family anymore. You're not welcome here." I told her. I heard the door open behind me and Andres took a step out onto the porch.

"Come back inside baby sis." He said glaring directly at Chloe. I wanted to say something else to Chloe, but before I could open my mouth Andres was speaking again. "Don't argue, don't say anything else, just come back inside." I was obligated to listen to him because I knew he'd always have my back.

"Get out of here." I told her harshly as I took one-step up the porch. I stopped when I didn't hear her moving away. "I said get the hell-."

"Santana!" I stopped as soon as I heard my father's voice. He'd come around to the front of the house from where he'd been barbequing for the past hour. He had his apron slung over his shoulder and a spatula in his right hand.

"What?!" I didn't mean to snap at him, but I could sense where he was going with this. He didn't care about how I felt about things, he just had rules that had to be followed.

"It's nice to see you Chloe, come on inside." My jaw nearly hit the ground. What was he doing? He couldn't invite her inside.

"But dad." He wasn't going to listen to my objections, I knew he wasn't, but why didn't he see how much this would hurt me?

"No buts. This is our home and when the door is open, everyone is welcome. Now Chloe the food's out, you can come in and spend some time with the family." My father said nodding over to Andres who opened the front door so Chloe could walk inside. I was seconds away from chasing after her and telling her that it didn't matter what my father said. I didn't want her there so she should respect me enough to leave.

"Qué demonios papa?" I let out a frustrated sigh and glared at him, this wasn't fair.

"El perdón es importante. You know forgiveness is what holds this family together." I rolled my eyes. Why does he get to be all high and mighty?

"So what? She's not a part of this family-."

"Well she was." He said confidently. "I never said you have to welcome her back into your heart, but I am asking you to welcome her into our home. I know she hurt you, trust me I know that, but for a couple of years she was also your best friend, your closest companion. If you look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't want her here right now then I'll go in there and drag her out by her hair, but I just don't believe that you hate her that much." I tried to stand there and look him in the eyes, but he was too intense.

"Okay fine." I said running my fingers through my hair. "I'm going back inside." I told him as I started walking towards the front door.

"By the way I met Rachel." I spun around and tried not to look too excited.

"And…?"

"I like her. She's very kind, respectful, she called me sir and you know how I feel about that." I rolled my eyes and nodded my head. "Go back inside and talk to her, hang out, have a good time." I pulled the door open and watched my dad return to the backyard. Before I could take a step in Rachel stopped me.

"Hey, sorry about being all over the place tonight." I apologized.

"No problem, your brother, older brother I mean has kept me entertained with stories." Rachel said smiling. "I didn't think you'd bring your girlfriend though."

"Ex." I corrected. "And believe me she wasn't invited." I assured Rachel. She turned around and looked at Chloe who was sitting down, talking to Nacho who must of showed up while I was occupied and Lela who was admiring Chloe's hair.

"How do you feel about PDA?" Rachel asked.

"W-what? I mean I guess I don't really have-." She grabbed the front of my shirt and yanked me towards her, pressing our lips together. I was shocked but not bothered by the gesture. At least all the parents were in the other room, and at least Rachel only slipped her tongue into my mouth for a second, otherwise I would've picked her up and brought her to my bedroom. We she pulled away she looked directly into my eyes and wiped her bottom lip with her thumb.

"Sorry, I just wanted to give them something to talk about."

…...

Rachel's POV

I took a step outside. I promised Santana that I would be right back, but I just wanted to take a smoke to relax a bit. I leaned against the porch railing and smoking when I heard the front door open. I turned around and spotted Chloe. She eyed me curiously before mirroring my position against the railing.

"Can I bum one?" She asked nodding towards my cigarette. I lit one for her and handed it to her. She took a long drag before she looked at me again.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing I was just wondering how long you've known Santana." She inquired. There was clearly more to it, and I hoped she didn't think I couldn't handle it, because I could. She didn't intimidate me, not in the slightest.

"A few weeks. A little while ago she invited me to a party, we flirted and all that and now here we are." I explained.

"Has she fucked you yet?" I tried not to flinch. I couldn't let her think that I was shocked by what she was saying. She was bold but so was I.

"What makes you think that she'd be the one fucking me?" I replied blowing smoke into her face.

"Oh your suburban white girl thing is kinda cute." Chloe said trying to pinch my cheek. I smacked her hand away and took a step back. "Look Matilda, give it up. The only person that really knows Santana is me."

"Newsflash you already had your chance." I looked towards the road when I heard a car pulling up. It must be Chloe's ride. I could see the guy in the front seat, he was from that gang who threatened Santana.

"You don't know her like I do. You don't know every inch of her body, the things that make her bite down on your neck, the things that make her fall to her knees. Have fun while it lasts." Chloe said coldly before she walked down the steps and got into the car. I tried my best to ignore her but it was difficult.

"Hey." I turned around and there was Santana standing there with her arms crossed. "What'd the bitch say to you?" She asked as she slowly walked over to stand next to me. "It doesn't matter…whatever she said she lied." I wanted to tell her that it wasn't fair to condemn Chloe for lying if Santana was doing the same thing.

"She said a lot of things, but they weren't all lies." I assured Santana. She turned away from me and fidgeted with her fingers. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her inhaler, inhaling deeply before putting it back. "Okay don't ever do that again in my presence, because it's the cutest thing I've ever seen."

"You're the cutest thing I've ever seen." She replied playfully.

"Stop it." I said when she started playing with the hem of my jean shorts. Her fingers dipped under them, and I gasped when she touched my panties.

"I could get used to that noise."

"Don't get cocky." I warned her as I teasingly pushed her back against the railing. "Do you like when I push you around? Do you like when I do what I want with you?" She smiled brightly and nodded.

"Yes ma'am." She whispered.

"Good, then you're mine." I said grabbing her necklace and moving her head closer to me.

"I'm yours." She tried to kiss me but I moved my head back. Before she could protest, I kissed her bottom lip and nipped down, loving the sound of her groan against my lips.

"Cough cough." Santana and I quickly separated, both turning to face Andres. "Rey's been asking for you."

"Oh I'll be right there." Santana said.

"No not you." He said with a small smile. "He was asking for Rachel."

I hope you all enjoyed it. Review please.
