12.- Our Deal
It was early in the morning. I felt how the bed was moving. Emily had woken up early.
I loved that about her. She always woke up to see the sun rise and stayed up till it set. I considered that to be sort of romantic.
"Why are you up so early Em, aren´t you tired from last night?" I asked whispering.
"Would you come and take a walk with me?" She asked kneeling down, making our eyes meet. She had her lovely puppy eyes that made me want to jump to a cliff if she asked me to. I obviously didn´t refuse.
"Pass me those jeans please" I said getting up looking for my shoes. Emily smiled.
We tiptoed our way out and went to the beach. It was empty and there wasn´t a single sound but the waves that touched the sand. We kept quiet, listening to the breeze and the birds waking up.
I looked behind and saw our footprints, hers looked delicate. Like an angel walking.
I couldn´t believe that almost a month had gone by since I met Emily and my feelings for here were deeper and enhancing. When we kiss I feel like my heart is going to explode, like my lungs don´t need air and that I no longer feel complete without her.
I think it´s time we make it official. I don´t want to spend more days alone, she has just become everything I need.
I love the way she looks in the mornings, how she laughs when I get scared looking at some horror film, the way she smells after she takes a shower. How we can talk for hours or how we just laugh at silly things, or when she talks in Spanish or how she gets angry.
All my friends say that they have never seen me as happy as I am now. Like I have a certain "glow" when we´re together.
My friends all like her, even Spencer!
Things are just so great, and I just can´t hold this feelings anymore. I need to tell Santana how I feel…
I splashed Santana a little with the water. She looked at me with naughty eyes and splashed me back. We chased each other all over the shore getting wet and with a little sand underneath my clothes.
Santana finally caught me and we were lying on the ground laughing.
I tickled Emily, and she just couldn´t stop laughing. She tried to stop me. I didn´t go on because I was caught up by her smile and her laughter. She was just so adorable. I leaned over to kiss her.
I placed my lips over hers and she tenderly responded to mine. I love the way they fit perfectly and how it makes every part of my body feel free and tingly. I smiled just thinking about it.
She broke the kiss apart, but traced her way through my collar bones with her finger.
"Em… are you happy… with me?" I asked her almost whispering. She smiled timidly shaking her head.
"What a silly question Santana. Of course I am" She caressed my face "Are you happy with me?"
"I am -THE HAPPIEST- when I'm with you" I answered her "Em" I said timidly again "We´ve been dating for a while now and … "I looked into her eyes. She was smiling. "What am I gonna say? You make me feel … whole. I´ve been spending this past few weeks thinking… And there´s something I need to tell you" I looked for her hand and she squeezed mine. She was nervous "I´m in love with you Emily… I am madly and deeply in love with you since I first met you" Emily took a deep breath looking extremely happy.
"I feel the same way for you " She made me blush.
"I want us to be together Emily, I want you to be my girlfriend" I said still holding her hand. She gave me a flirtatious grin.
"I thought I already was…" I smiled widely and pulled her closer to me to kiss her one more time.
"I love you Santana" She said in my ear.
"I love us" I responded as we kissed again.
