Chapter 4: Group hug.

Sam picked me up from the airport took me his place. I'm staying with him until I find a new place for myself. We talked for a while and then he left for work. Once I had showered, I took a long nap.

After work Sam went straight to Rachel and Finn's apartment. This Friday night the gang is reunited for a movie night over there. The plan is that Sam's going to sneak out and will open the door and let me enter in the house to surprise everybody.

Now I'm waiting in the doorstep.

"It was about time Evans. I've been waiting in here for 30 minutes!" I protested when the door opened.

"What? You texted me like 10 minutes ago." He whispered.

"Whatever!" I entered in the house.

"I was trying to get out secretly, but Rachel didn't stop talking about the wedding." The blonde explained and he carefully closed the door.

That's right Finn proposed to Rachel last Christmas and they are getting married in five months. Right now Rachel is very excited and she's a hyper version of herself. Every time she can, she talks about the wedding. The last two calls on Skype we had had we were criticizing wedding dresses. Well, I was actually criticizing the ones Rachel picked. I want her to look perfect.

"Where are you getting the popcorn in a fucking cornfield, Evans?!" Puck shouted from the living room.

"I'm hungry too!" Tina joined the complaint.

Sam and I walked inside.

"5 minutes!" He answered loud and clear for everyone to hear.

We made three big bowls of popcorn after all there are 6 hungry people in the living room waiting for them. Sam informed that no one bailed on last minute.

The only missing was Brittany and her friends, Mike and Quinn. They are in a work reunion related. The things is that Sam and Brittany officially started dating and when they went out with our group she brought some of hers friends. Mike and Quinn, Although I not know them personally from what I heard they had seemed to get along with everyone.

We walked towards the living room. Kurt, Tina, Mercedes, Puck, Rachel and Finn were scattered around the room watching the movie in silence. I could recognize the film, 'Predestination' a sci-fi movie, so totally Sam's choice.

I stared to my friends for too long without realizing because Sam bumped my shoulder with his. Then, he made a gesture with his head to take a seat. There was an empty spot on the sofa between Rachel and Mercedes, Sam's previous spot.

"I'm glad is not a musical." I said and plopped down on the sofa while eating popcorn.

Suddenly the lights came on and all the faces were on me.

"Oh my God! Santana! What are you doing here!" Rachel said squealing and clasping her hands together.

After a 5 seconds the two women were hugging me.

The rest of my friends just get up from their positions and jumped on us smiling. We always liked group hugs, it's our thing.

"Lopezzz!" Is the only thing Puck screams before jumping.

"Let me go, you all know I'm way out of your league." I said laughing.

I really, really like being at home.

"Hell to the no! You are the one who doesn't even fit to tie my shoelaces." Mercedes protests.

"Guys, I think I heard a noise, like the sofa is breaking down!" Tina exclaimed.

"Impossible, it's brand new" Rachel said.

"Yeah, we bought it last week" I could hear Finn answering from somewhere on the sofa.

In that moment, the couch broke down and we all fell to the floor laughing.

"Oh guys, I would kill to break out in a song right now!" Kurt said.

The movie was long forgotten and we are talking and eating pizza.

"What about your job Santana. How have you been able to come back?" Tina asked.

"Long story short. In Barcelona I worked with my boss's daughter and I took advantage of that." I answered.

"When you come back? Finn said from the other side of the room grabbing a new slice of pizza.

"This morning." Sam answered first.

"What? He knew?" Puck asked looking at me.

"I needed a ride from the airport" I shrugged. "Cabs are fucking expensive!"

"You told Brittany? Because if you told your girl but not at your bro'. I'm going to be really pissed."

"No, I didn't" Sam said and put his phone on his trouser pocket. "Sometimes Brittany blurt out things and I didn't want to spoil Santana's surprise." Sam answered nonchalantly.

"I'm kind of pissed that you didn't say anything to me, though You remember our deal 'friends before hoes'.

"I'm not a hoe, you dumbass!" Sam punched Puck's arm.

"San you will have to buy me many beers to make forgive you." Puck said pretending to be offended and everyone threw cushions at him.

"It's a shame that Brittany, Quinn and Mike couldn't make it!" Rachel said after picking the last box of pizza. "We are having such a great time."

She walked to the kitchen where Puck, Sam, Finn and Tina were helping to clean up.

Mercedes and Kurt were sitting on the loveseat and I was lying on the armchair in front of them. We were exhausted.

"You know what?"Mercedes said. She kicked my leg with hers, demanding my attention.

"I'm dying for you to meet Quinn. I think you two are quite alike. I want to see how you two work it out!"

I was puzzled by this new information.

"She basically is waiting for you two become best friends or you both kill each other." Kurt added.

"Don't say it like that! But he's right." Mercedes nodded.

"Oh, that's very nice of you 'Cedes."

"My bet is on the killing part." I looked surprised at him. "That would be fun to watch." He says, sipping his wine.

Both of them started to talk about something I didn't care so I took my phone which was forgotten on the table.
