"San are you okay?" We've been sitting in the plane for about fifteen minutes waiting to takeoff and Santana hasn't stopped looking out the window or shaking her leg up and down. "San?" She finally stops and looks over at me. She looks like she's going to be sick.
"I'm umm..." She clears her throat. "I'm afraid to fly" A smile spreads across my face and she rolls her eyes. "Don't you dare tell anyone" I zip my lips up with my hand.
"How can you be afraid? Didn't you guys fly to New York last year?" I ask her as I take her hand into mine.
"We went but we took the train"
"So you didn't fly" She shakes her head no. "Have you ever even been on a plane before?"
"I...uh...no" I laugh.
"Then how do you know you're afraid of flying if you haven't flown before?"
"Because"
"What a strong argument" I say sarcastically and she playfully nudges me.
"You're becoming a real smart ass you know that"
"I'm learning from the best" Santana smirks before pulling me in for a kiss. When we break apart I can see she's a little more calm that is until the seat belt sign goes off followed by the prepare for takeoff announcement. As the plane starts moving I see Santana quickly fasten her seat belt pulling the belt till it can't be pulled anymore. She asks me to tug on it a few times which I do and then she goes back to shaking her leg. I bite my lip at the cuteness of this situation and fasten my own seat belt. Prepare for takeoff is heard and I reach over to grab her hand.
"It's going to be okay. Nothing to worry about"
"Easy for you to say" The plane starts picking up speed and I feel Santana grip my hand a little tighter. I look over at her and see that her eyes are glued shut. "Just know if we die I love you"
"We're not going to die" I say with a laugh.
"Don't laugh at me"
"I'm sorry" I kiss her cheek and as soon as we get high enough in the air the seat belt sign goes off. "You can open your eyes now we're perfectly safe in the air" San shakes her head no.
"We're not safe until we land"
"Are you going to keep them closed for the whole fight to California?"
"You mean Hawaii and yes I'm keeping them closed"
"You do know we're stopping in California right?" Her eyes shoot open.
"What do you mean we're stopping in California?"
"There's no straight flight to Hawaii from Ohio. We have to fly to Oakland, California and then from there we switch planes and then fly to Hawaii"
"When did this happen and why wasn't I informed?" I start giggling at Santana state of panic. "This isn't funny Berry" She tells me as she lets go of my hand and crosses her arms over her chest.
"You're really scared aren't you?"
"YES"
"Don't worry I'll protect you" Santana rolls her eyes.
"Great now I'm really going to die"
"HEY!" She laughs.
"So how long is the flight to Cali?"
"About five hours" I answer her.
"And then the flight after that?"
"Another five hours" Just as I say that the plane starts shaking and Santana grabs my hand, shuts her eyes and starts repeating we're going to die over and over. The seat belt sign goes on again and then the pilot comes on over the intercom.
"I've put the belt sign back on ladies and gentlemen we've seem to have some turbulence, nothing to worry about though. As soon as we are in the clear I'll turn it back off. Forecast for California is sunny with temperatures in the 80s"
"It's just turbulence"
"I'm not going to make it to Hawaii alive. Hell I'm not even going to make it to California. I'm going to have a heart attack before I even get there"
"It's going to be okay" I reassure her again as I start rubbing my hand up and down her leg. I see her eyes open and look down at my hand.
"Uh...Rach can you umm...not"
"Sorry" I pull my hand away. We both give each other an apologetic look before she grabs my hand into hers and closes her eyes again. I frown and lean back in my chair. I hate this awkward stage Santana and I have gone into. It's not even awkward. It's more frustrating than anything. We both agreed not touch each other in a way that would turn the other on. I mean do you know how hard that is especially when I like the feeling of Santana on top of me when we're making out. All I want to do is run my hands under her shirt and…I shake my head out of that thought, I can't go there right now especially when I'm stuck in this plane for five hours.
I let out a sigh and start playing with Santana's fingers. This whole agreement comes from the fact that Santana and I can't have sex. Not because we're not ready but because we can't. It's like every time we try something stops us. Take for instance the first time we tried. We were at my house. We weren't really planning on things going as far as they did but it happened and as started slowly stripping each other's clothes off we heard the front door close. We quickly put our clothes back on just in time before my dad came in my room. "Hi Honey we're back a little early your father wasn't feeling good. You don't look so well yourself. You look a little red. Are you getting sick too?" He checked my forehead and then looked at Santana. "You look a little red too. I hope you two aren't getting sick" After my dad left my room Santana quickly got up and left as well.
Then next time we tried but failed was at San's house. She told me her mother would be at work all night but of course right before we get the last piece of clothing off we hear her door try to open followed by "Ana mija why is your door locked? Is Rachel in there? Are you two having sex?" Talk about mood killer.
After those two incidents there was a couple more and then finally one day we decided to just keep our hands to ourselves until we are really sure we won't get interrupted. Santana thinks it's the universe telling us we aren't ready but right about now I could care less what the universe thinks. I want Santana and I want her now.
"Stop thinking about it" I look over at Santana whose eyes are still shut. "I know what you're thinking and when it's supposed to happen it will happen"
"How do you do that?" Santana opens her eyes and looks at me.
"Do what?"
"Know exactly what I'm thinking or feeling" She presses a kiss on my lips before saying "Magic".
Welcome to Honolulu Hawaii
I look up at the banner as we all make our way into the hotel lobby. Mr. Schue tells us all to wait in one area as he and Sugar check in and get our hotel keys for us. Of course no one listens and everyone scatters around the hotel.
"Lopez look I just got laid AGAIN" Both Santana and I look over at Noah whose is getting another lei from one of the hotel greeters. "That's more times than you" He adds before walking away with a smirk.
"Idiot" Santana whispers under her breath but I still hear it.
"You told him?"
"I didn't tell him. It's more like he guessed"
"And what you just had to confirm it?"
"I don't know how to answer that question without getting in trouble" I roll my eyes and start walking away.
"Rach wait" Santana grabs my arms stopping me from going any further. "Why are you mad?"
"I'm not" I lie as I tilt my head to the side and stare at her.
"You are. Please don't be mad. I don't want you mad at me. Not here, not now"
"I just…I don't want anyone knowing about our sex life. I'd like to keep that a private thing"
"It is private. I didn't even tell him anything. He asked a yes or no kind of question so either way he was going to be Puck at tease us about it"
"You're right" I tell her because she is right, either way Noah will be Noah.
"Besides there really isn't much to tell, we haven't done anything"
"And that's my fault?" I say defensively.
"What? No" I just glare at her before walking away. "Rach wait, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just leave me alone"
"Rachel" I hear Santana say raising her voice a bit.
"I'M SEXUAL FRUSTRATED OKAY" I yell without thinking and everyone in the hotel stops what they're doing and stares at me. I cover my face with my hands and shake my head as I turn red with embarrassment. "Why does that always happen to me?" I say and then I feel arms wrap around me.
"It's because you're a weirdo" I hear Santana say as she pulls away my hands from my face. I elbow her and she laughs. "And just so you know I'm just as frustrated as you but I don't yell it out loud for everyone to hear" I elbow her again. "And I told you it will happen when it happens. We don't need to rush it, you know that right?"
"I know but…I really want to do it" I say and she just smirks at me.
"I didn't know you were such a nymphomaniac"
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me" I wink at her and she just stands there with this blank stare. "Umm…are you okay?" I ask a little worried.
"Fine I just…I can't believe you said that. That was really hot and if it wasn't for the fact that I see Mr. Schue coming this way I would have dragged you into the bathroom over there and had my way with you" It's my turn to give a blank stare. "Now we're even"
"What?" I say a bit confused.
"You put dirty thoughts in my head and I just put a dirty thought in your head. We're even"
"Jerk"
"Alright everyone gather around" Mr. Schue announces and everyone comes from all over. "Here are everyone's room keys" He starts passing out the keys to everyone. "Guys are on the 10th floor where my room is at and girls are on the 11th floor where Miss Pillsbury and Coach Beiste are at. Also I'm making one small change to the guys and girls rule. Since I know it's your Spring Break and I want you all to have fun I'm going to allow you all to hang out in each other's rooms. But no staying the night. Understand?" Mr. Schue looks at Kurt who just rolls his eyes. "Curfew tonight is at ten"
"Curfew" We all say as a group.
"Yes curfew. Just for tonight"
"You can't be serious Mr. S" Quinn adds.
"Yeah, what happened to this is your Spring Break and I want you to have fun" Mercedes also adds.
"I do want you all to have fun but can't have you all running around till whenever. I need you well rested for Nationals tomorrow." We all moan and groan. "Come on guys you're going to be here for five days. All I'm asking is for one night, one night to be in your rooms at a decent hour. Curfew is at ten. I'm doing room checks at ten fifteen so please be in your rooms by then"
"And what if we're not in our rooms? Or what if we just sneak out after you do checks?" Noah asks.
"If you're not in your rooms or if I catch you sneaking out you'll get to spend the rest of Spring Break with Ms. Pillsbury, Coach B and myself and let me tell you we've planned a very educational visit for ourselves"
"Lame"
"This is just for one night guys. After tomorrow you're free to stay out as late as you want just be on your best behaviors. Competition start time is ten so I want everyone to meet in the lobby at eight sharp. We'll do a quick run through at eight thirty and then head to the competition. Now go on you're all free for the rest of the day. Go explore but be in your rooms at ten" Mr. Schue leaves and we all just stand around talking to each other about what we should do for the day.
"I have something special planned just for the two of today" Santana whispers in my ear.
"Yeah?" She nods her head yes. "What is it?"
"Sugar has a private yacht down here and I asked her if I could use it for the day"
"Really?" Santana smiles nods her head yes again.
"Thought we could go out and explore the ocean. Maybe watch the sun set together"
"Totally mushy" San rolls her eyes.
"Romantic. Why can't you say romantic" I giggle.
"So what time do we have to be on the yacht?
"Yacht? Who has a yacht?" Noah asks as he puts his arms around both Santana and I's neck.
"No one does" Santana pushes him off of us and he frowns.
"I have a yacht" Sugar says as she comes closer to us. "But I promised Santana I'd lend her it for the day"
"Screw that let's all go party on it. Who's in to party on Sugar's yacht" Noah announces to the group and of course they all cheer and get hyped up to go on it. "Sug where's your yacht at?"
"Outside at the docks, it's says Motta on the side of it"
"Alright cool. Everyone meet at the yacht in ten" Everyone scatters and heads to the elevators.
"I'm fucking killing him"
"Language" I tell Santana.
"I'm killing him and then dumping his body over board in the ocean so no one will find him" I just shake my head and smile.
"You're not killing him besides we can still watch the sun set together"
"Yeah with eleven other people, this was supposed to our time together"
"There's plenty of time to spend together. Now come on let's go change before they leave us"
"Fine" I drag San to the elevators. "If you won't let me kill Puck can I still beat the shit out of him?" She asks me as we walk into the elevator.
"I'll hold him while you do" I tell her with a smile and all she does is smirk at me as the elevator doors close.
