Oh oh oh oh oh oh / Please be pretending…
About to close her eyes and turn away, wanting to finish the song as fast as she could because there was a strange expression on Finn's face and a look in his eyes that made uncomfortable feelings well up in her stomach, Rachel suddenly found Finn's arms wrapped around her, her body pulled into his, and his mouth capturing hers. Freezing in surprise, acutely aware of the determined lips sliding along hers, her mind raced.
Wrenching herself away, Rachel only had a split second to decide if slapping him would do any more damage to their performance, but seeing the stupid goofy expression on her ex-boyfriend's face decided it for her. Taking a step backwards and rolling her weight into her movement, she drew her arm back and slapped Finn as hard as she could. Glaring at him, she did an about-face and stomped as stately as she could to her mark for the next song.
As the ringing silence slowly turned into the swelling introduction to Light Up the World, Rachel forced a very wide, very bright smile onto her face, squaring her shoulders against the hot stares she could feel on her. Then she was moving smoothly with the choreography, singing and smiling as beautifully as she could while meeting her glee club members' gazes without shame. However, the second the music ended and the lights dimmed, Rachel strode off the stage. Pushing past Finn who tried to stop her, she made for the nearest bathroom.
Tears spilled out of her eyes the second the door shut behind her. A second later, the door clanged open again. "I didn't want – umhn!" Santana's mouth crashed down onto hers. Possessively swallowing her words and breath and surrounding her completely, Santana didn't let her go until her lips were swollen and her arms were sore from the stranglehold she had around Santana's neck.
"Mine," Santana growled, barely moving back enough to give Rachel room to respond.
"Yours," Rachel gasped back, digging her fingernails into the back of Santana's neck as she pulled her into another kiss. "Always yours."
