Up In The Air ch. 2
Ever since I met Rachel, she's all that I could think of and I never been this attracted to someone before except for Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named but this isn't about her cause I thought that I was gonna be content with one meaningless fling after another although life's likes throwing curveballs at me. I wasn't expecting to meet a beautiful woman at the airport on the way to promote my next album but I really wasn't expecting was for her to have not one, not two but three kids and they're amazingly cool as I definitely feel a connection with them too. Whatever happened in the gorgeous woman's past that made feel like she could trust anyone or that suspicious of someone else's intention deserves to feel the full extent of Snixx's wrath and then some because the way she pulled away from at the airport was heart-breaking.
I just want to pull her into my arm and kiss all the doubt away from her mind… man, I've haven't seen her in a week and I'm already getting sappy but I guess that Mami was right about love making you a little loca. I've tried texting Rachel while I was in Dallas but the only response that I got from her was from the kiddos which I didn't mind so much because I like talking to them and that Harmony entertains me with all the stories about Kindergarten and Bailey showed me some of the pictures that he drew. The kid has some major talent for an ten year old and I can't only imagine what he could become if he keeps it up but every time I tried to get the angel to talk, she would come up any kind of excuse to end the call but I'm not giving up.
Whatever I'm feeling for this single mom is something that I can't deny, not even if I wanted to because I feel this magnetic pull and Mami always told me that I have my Abuelo's unyielding determination. I'm sitting in Mercedes' apartment that she's letting stay at for the moment while I perform at my concert later in the week as she walks in with her boyfriend Sam or as I like to call him Trouty Mouth, laughing and giggling like hormonal high schoolers. It's nauseating but I won't have to deal with this much longer as I'm already looking for apartment in New York since I have one in LA but if I'm gonna pursue Rachel then I need a place to stay while I'm and there's no way I'm keep mooching off of Weezy's kindness. She's help me with my career and even move my family from our one bedroom apartment into a four bedroom house in Manhattan Beach cause it has a great view of the ocean as my younger brothers Diego and Julio love going to the beach whenever they want. I owe her so much for all that she's given especially the chance to do what I love, is creating my own music and writing my own songs but I know that I can't keep taking advantage of her like this and I want to pay her back.
My best bet is looking for an apartment to live in as I pulled my phone out to see if the angel called or text me yet but I don't have any missed calls or unread texts from her and I want to give her some space because I don't want to seem like the clingy or the obsessive type cause I know what that's like with all the cray-cray fans I have. I've heard stories about crazy fan doing the most to their favorite celebrity but no one could've prepared for all that fuckin craziness but most of my fans are pretty cool over all and they keep me going. Trouty Mouth flops down next to me, wrapping his arm loosely around my shoulders when he plucks my phone from my hand as I scramble to get it back before running around like maniac.
"When did you get Rachel's number?" Sam asked dangling my phone over my head, out of my reach.
"I meet her last week and give me my phone before I go Lima Heights on your pasty ass" I said jumping to grab my phone.
"You met Rachel?" Mercedes asked walking out of the kitchen.
"Yeah, at first she thought that you sent me to pick up or something" I said punching Sam hard in the gut.
"Yeah sorry about that. Rachel, she's… going through some stuff that I can't tell you about" Mercedes said scratching her head.
"Yeah I got that after the way she was ready to maul me cause I got some angle for getting close to her kids which I get but it seems deeper than that but… I dig it" I said smiling slightly. "I dig her… hell I dig her kids but she won't give the time of day, no matter what I do"
"Look Santana, you're my girl and all but Rachel's like family to me and those kids are my god kids. If this some fling for you or some kind of temporary thing, I make sure that you won't make music ever again" Mercedes said menacingly.
"I get where you're coming from. I'm not sure what I'm feeling for Rachel but I do know that I like her a lot and I know that I don't want some fling with her" I said shaking my head. "You know me better than that, Weezy. I wouldn't do that to someone with kids"
"You're right, I do know you but I stand by I said earlier. Hurt Rachel and those kids, you will come up missing" Mercedes said disappearing into the kitchen.
"Wow, that's two people that don't trust me" I said folding my arms.
"Well with your track record with women, I wouldn't" Sam said chuckling.
"Screw you, I don't ask you" I said punching him.
"Maybe not but it doesn't make it any less true. Trying doing something different from what you normally do. Be open and vulnerable" Sam said wriggling his fingers in my face.
"Mmm maybe"
I walked into the hallway, dialing Rachel's number and it rings four times before she finally picks up, hearing quick footsteps and laughter in the background.
"Marley, Harmony please stop running in the house. Hello?"
"Busy with the ninas, eh mi amore?" I asked smirking.
"S-Santana, hi" Rachel said nervously.
"Hey, what's up? How's your day?" I asked curious.
"I am well, thank you for asking and my day was okay. How are you?"
"I'm good but I could be better if I could see you and the ninos. I miss them" I said leaning against the wall.
"They would love to see you too but aren't you busy? I would assume the life of a rocker star would keep you rather busy" Rachel replies.
"It can be pretty hectic at times and I have to go in for a sound check the day after tomorrow but I'm free until then. How about you, me and the ninos spend the day tomorrow?" I asked hopeful.
"I don't know if that's a good idea, Santana" Rachel said unsure.
"Come on Rachel, give me a chance. I really want to get know you and the kids better and I'm sure that the kids would love it but if you feel uncomfortable in any way, I'll back off completely"
There was a dead silence between us and I was starting to get worried that she might've hung up on me but then I heard the of a tiny angel by the name of Marley who walked in at the perfect moment.
"Santana?" Marley asked shyly.
"Hi mariposa, how are you? You doing good?" I cooed.
"Yes, my front tooth came loose today" Marley said with a slight whistle.
"It did? You know what that means, right?" I asked mock surprised.
"What?" Marley asked curious.
"If you put your tooth under when you go to sleep tonight, you'll be visited by the tooth fairy and she takes your tooth, trading it for a dollar"
"Really, she'll give me a dollar for my tooth?" Marley asked excitedly.
"Uh-huh but I have to ask you something, Marley"
"What?"
"I'm in New York and I really want to see you, your siblings and your Mama tomorrow but she isn't so sure. Do you think you can talk into it?"
"I think I can" Marley nods.
Marley calls out to Harmony and Bailey and before I knew it, the Berry siblings were begging, pleading and even shedding a few tears while they were at it before Rachel came back on the phone and set up a place and a time us to meet. I said goodbye to the ninos and I couldn't wait to see them tomorrow, hoping to woo the angel while I'm at it when my phone starts buzzing and it's Quinn who's happens to be my best friend/lawyer. The bitch's a blood-thirsty shark when she's standing in the middle of a courtroom, clawing tooth and nail every step of the way in law school and proving that she's best defense lawyer at Smith and Johnson. She's a marshmallow when it comes to her now ten going on eleven year old and five daughters Beth and Charlie (respectively) and her wife Brittany Fabray-Pierce. Malibu Barbie got knocked up by the former badass/sex shark Puck Puckerman turned Air Force during our senior year of high school before turning into punk rock Quinn, going psycho for two years and dysfunctional family wasn't helping none but thankfully Britt-Britt was there to rein her in. She struggle with her sexuality for awhile realizing she's a lesbo and her the dancer dated for awhile before getting married and going through let IVF which Charlie was born as I gots to say that I love my godkids to death. They make my life more interesting when I get the chance to baby-sit especially with the mini-Britt going through inquisitive stage although her question are starting to make me think about stuff that I wouldn't normally think about on my own. Maybe I should ask Malibu Barbie about borrowing the kids tomorrow.
"What's up, bitch? How's the fighting bad guys and riding around in the Batmobile?" I asked smirking.
"For the last time, I'm not batman" Quinn groans.
"Coulda fooled me" I said laughing.
"Right you're a fuckin riot" Quinn said rolling her eyes.
"I know but I know there's a reason that you're calling me right now so out with it"
"You busy tomorrow?"
"Maybe, depends on what you're about to ask me" I said raising a eyebrow.
"Can you watch Beth and Charlie tomorrow? It's our anniversary and I want to something special"
"Actually this works perfectly, drop them around eleven and text me when you want me to drop them off whether you're planning to get lucky tonight or nah"
"San, please don't tell you're planning to use my kids to pick up women cause if you are then-"
"Come down Harley Quinn, I was thinking about spending with my god kids and I thought I could take them to the park or something" I said rolling my eyes.
"Oh that's fine and thanks bitch"
"Yeah, yeah you're welcome bitch. Tell Brittany and the kiddos I said hi" I said hanging up the phone.
