Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I´m already in college so I´ve been busy doing all sorts of things. Here it is, thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy and that this makes it up to you.

14.- National Anthem

We had spent the rest of the month at Spencer´s. It was AWESOME. Finally it was time to go. Emily had arranged with her parents for us to meet at a nice restaurant with her parents for the fourth of July in the city first, then I´d take Em to Montauk Beach. She didn´t know but she was going to keep her gorgeous tan for the next week as well. It was about to be our 3 month anniversary and I rented a "cabin" near the beach just for us.

I wanted us to go back to Lima for her to meet my parents too. I guess I was kinda nervous when she said that she wanted me to meet her parents. It was not as unexpected as I thought it was going to be, but I guess that things were getting serious so fast (and because she comes from a military family). Don´t get me wrong, I do love Emily and she means EVERYTHING to me, and I know how much it means to her for me to meet her parents. Honestly I have never considered it to be really important, but it feels nice for her to give me my place as her girlfriend.

I guess that the right thing for me to do is to call my parents as well and introduce her to them. I guess that if my Abuela was ok with me being gay she would love Emily; she always loved that I hanged out with righteous girls, and smart too.

I was worried about what her parents would say; for what I reckoned her parents thought that Paige was everything their daughter needed (according to what Hannah and Spencer had told me).

I wanted to give them a good impression. I bought a navy blue elegant dress and my hair perfectly ironed. We were going to this sea food restaurant (her dad´s favorite). I liked sea food very much and according to Emily, the restaurant made some really unexpected dishes.

We drove to the restaurant. I asked Emily to pack. I didn´t tell her where we were going afterwards. She was wearing a violet elegant dress and black heels. Her hair combed in a half pony tail (which I loved).

Emily and I parked the car. I tried to remain calm, but Emily noticed a little tremor on my hands. She grabbed it. "Don´t worry, It´ll be fine" I kissed her on the cheek and then we walked to the entrance.

"Hi, we´ve got a reservation. Fields, half past six…" Emily said. The host nodded and then he led us to the table. Her parents were sitting there. Both stood up smiling widely.

"Emmy!" Her father exclaimed, Emily hugged him tightly

"Hi dad" she said. He let her go and she rushed to her mother´s arms.

"We´ve missed you a lot sweetie" Her mother said almost tearful

"I´ve missed you too" Emily broke the hug, trying not to cry "Mom, Dad. This is Santana Lopez, my girlfriend.

"Wayne Fields" Her father extended his hand as Santana shook it.

"Nice to meet you sir" She answered smiling. Santana turned to see Emily´s mother.

"Pam Fields" the woman repeated her husband´s action.

"Pleasure to meet you" Santana answered. They sat down.

"Emily has spoken very highly of you" Her father said

"She´s told us nothing but wonders about you" Her mother added.

"We were honestly very eager to meet you" Mr. Fields said. I was blushing.

"Thank you sir, I feel very flattered. Emily is very sweet"

The rest of the evening we spent laughing and having lots of interesting conversations, I expected some sort of interview or something (they did ask some details about me though) but I really liked Emily´s parents, and they seemed to have liked me too.

Her dad had loads of interesting stories about his service in Afghanistan and amazing stories of his youth. Her mother reminded me a little bit to my Abuela, but much kinder. She had very firm opinions about everything and yet she could manage to make you feel comfortable.

I kept on thinking if the scenario would be the same when I introduced her to my parents. She´d be immune to everything with them. She was kind, loving, selfless, protective and the most perfect woman that has ever lived on earth.

Her parents were extremely happy to see her smile the entire dinner. Emily was glad that everything had turned out to be great.

Later we left for the beach. Emily didn´t stop holding my hand the entire trip to Montauk. I had blind folded her so she couldn´t see where we were headed.

Finally we arrived to the cabin.

I had left her in the car as I quickly prepared the house. I lit tons of candles all over the place.

"Where are we Santana?" Emily asked impatient. I guided her through the house. I had asked the landlord to cover the bed with rose petals. The room looked amazing. He even bought Emily´s favorite chocolates.

The bathroom had a tub, there was champagne, strawberries covered in chocolate, petals in the water… Everything was romantic.

"Santana can I take this off now?" Emily said between laughter. I rushed to take the fold of her eyes. She looked around pretty much surprised. She was such a romantic.

I intertwined her hands with mine.

"This is lovely Santana" She said in a low voice.

"Well, we´ve been three months together now. I think it was necessary, but what I want to say is that, I want THIS to last. I love you Emily and I want to keep on making you just as happy as YOU MAKE ME." Emily smiled and we kissed.

We laid down on the bed, her hands were all over me. I searched for her lips avidly, as if I hadn´t drink water for years. She smelled like vanilla and lavender, and her skin has silky smooth. She slowly took off my clothes and I was enjoying the way she was controlling me. I was completely hers. I undressed her too, kissing her neck and feeling every inch of her. My hands navigated all over her body and so did hers.

We kissed passionately, but there was no need for roughness, we didn´t show possession over each other while kissing. There was no need to, we loved each other.

We could listen the fireworks outside. What was even more hilarious was that someone had "National Anthem" on, but Emily´s moans made me forget the fact, the song inspired me to keep on pleasing her.

Emily was begging me for control. Suddenly she asked me to stop.

I was very confused.

"What´s wrong Em?" I asked, Emily looked at me happy but somehow scared. I caressed her face

"I want to stay like this forever" She said between sighs and excitement.

"I´ll always love you, even when you´re no longer young and beautiful" I said

She was smiling widely I caressed her face. Again we kissed, this time with more intensity. We were devouring each other, holding tightly. We craved for more. I could stay like that forever, she just made me shine, we were burning; like those candles, we were on fire.

That night I knew. We weren´t just a summer love; I knew this was meant to last; we were made for each other.
