-Santana pov-
"Santana come on!" I glare at my Papi and Mami "Come on! It will be like a good ol' fashioned competition!"
"It is a competition" I sigh and lay back down in the bed "I am so not going to go up against Rachel! I am trying to win her heart not destroy her!"
"Baby would it not be better she knows she has a equal?" I quickly shake my head "Why would that not be the best case scenario?"
"Rachel needs to be on top of it" I turn toward the wall "I can not try to beat her..I have to make her like me after my last mess up"
-Rachel pov-
I move away from the door and slowly go to my room. Santana really did take it hard. She is so set on proving she loves me she does not realize I love her. She does not realize that I am ready for that step.
"Hey you coming?" I look up at Maribel and nod "Quinn got in with Judy a while ago"
"Good" I stand up and dust off imaginary dust "I am going to enjoy singing with you all in the living room"
"Can I talk to you first?" I nod and Maribel walks in before she closes the door "This will be a little long"
I gulp as she locks the door. This is how I am going to die.
-Santana pov-
"Alright!" Leroy pulls a piece of paper from the first hat "Quinn you are up! You are doing...Drummer boy!"
"Great" I smirk as Quinn walks to the microphone "The good little Christian girl can not escape my first solo"
"You were great sweetheart!" Judy smiles happily at Quinn "You were the best tree on that stage! Next to the bush Santana was of course!"
I glare as Quinn laughs withe everyone else. I hope Rachel did not hear that. Actually where is Rachel right now? Where is my mom at right now?
-Quinn singing-
Come they told me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
A newborn King to see (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King (pa-rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum)
So to honor Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
When we come
Little Baby (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I am a poor boy too (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum pum pum pum)
That's fit to give our King (pa-rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum)
Shall I play for You? (pa-rum pum pum pum)
On my drum
Mary nodded (pa-rum pum pum pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my drum for Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my best for Him (pa-rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum)
Then He smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Me and my drum
"That was wonderful!" We all clap as Leroy pulls another name from the hat. I see his smile grow as he looks up at me "Santana! You have to get up and sing all I want for Christmas!"
"Really?" He nods and I hear Quinn chuckling "Maybe Shelby should do this one! I mean she can hit the notes better than I can!"
"Go Santi" I pout at my dad who just raises a eyebrow "We really going to do this now?"
"No" I walk up and look at Leroy "You owe me for rigging this"
"I rigged nothing" His words sound true but the smile gives him away "Sing away!"
-Santana singing-
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
"That sounded lovely!" I look up to see Rachel pale next to my mom "Who is up next?"
"Rach?" I look at my mom angrily "What did you do to her?"
"What do you mean?" I walk over and pull Rachel behind me "Mija think about this"
"I am thinking Mami!" I get closer to her "You threatened her didn't you?! You threatened the girl I love! Why did you have to ruin this?! I just want her to want me for me! I messed up and I am going to make it better! I have to make up for all of the names, hitting, slushies, and everything else! You can not just change it with words!"
I turn when I hear music begin to play.
-Rachel singing-
Look at us now,
Part of it all
In spite of it all,
We're still around
Lovers in love,
Just like we were
Being apart's a lonely sound
When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes, you know that I do
Look at the sun
Shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place
Lovers in love,
That's what we are
I reach for that star out there in space
'Cause you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
And you know that's it true
Sleepy we are,
But happy together
Sounds of forever
Greet the day
So wake up the kids,
Put on some tea
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas day
Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes you know that I do
All year long
Light up the tree,
It's Christmas time
By the end of the song Rachel is standing in front of me. We are so close to each other right now. I can not believe she sang a love song looking at me. Was she singing it to me?
"You think too loudly" Rachel smiles and tilts her head "You going to do anything?"
"I am so sorry about what all I have done" I hold her eyes in mine "I will spend everyday making your life better because you are in mine! I never want to spend a day without you! I want this to be our first Christmas together! I want to have so many firsts with you! Just..can you give me one more chance?"
"Look up" I do and see a mistletoe "Now look down here"
I do and she gives me a big kiss. Everyone cheers around us. We pull apart and I know I am smiling like a idiot. I can see she is smiling like one too.
"I expect a good date ok? Three good ones" I nod and she walks away "Let's watch some movies!"
"So did words work?" I look at my smirking mom "I still know my way around a heart"
"Thank you" She nods and pulls me into a hug "Now I have three dates to plan"
