A/N: I don't own Glee or its characters in any way.
"Hey, San. I'm sure you're gonna wanna see this."
"What are you talking about, Q?"
It was lunchtime, and the two cheerleaders were standing outside the cafeteria waiting for Brittany and Rachel. Quinn chuckled before holding up her iPhone so Santana could read the screen.
"Geez, Q. Can you at least make the words bigger? How the hell can you read such small words?"
"Shut up, Santana. Not all of us are blind like you. Maybe you should start wearing your little nerd glasses to school," teased Quinn.
Santana glared at the blonde. "Whatever, you know I forgot my contacts today, bitch."
Quinn just laughed used to the playful banter between her best friend. Once she had finally zoomed in, Santana began to read. It was the front page of Jacob Ben Israel's blog. The headline read "SANTANA LOPEZ AND RACHEL BERRY GET COZY". It was mainly a retell of the events that happened before first block that morning.
Quinn smirked knowing what was coming next. Santana's eyebrows shot up when she got to the part about Rachel and her. Jewfro "reported" that Rachel was Santana's new love interest. Apparently, that was the only reason Santana would have to stand up for the Jewish girl.
Quinn decided to read the last part aloud, "'So there it is, folks. The latest gossip here at William McKinley High School. I am sure none of us saw this coming. Lopez isn't one to be tied down, so we'll see how long this affair lasts. You know what they say, lady on the streets but freak in the sheets. (Rachel Berry, if you are reading this, my offer of being your boyfriend still stands.)'"
Santana was a statue. Quinn couldn't contain her laughter at seeing her best friend with her jaw practically hitting the floor.
Shit. I wonder if Rachel has seen this. What if she's freaked out or disgusted?
While Santana was busy trying to organize her thoughts, Rachel and Brittany arrived outside the cafeteria where the girls were standing. Brittany wondered what had Quinn laughing so hard. Whatever it was, she wanted to laugh too.
"Quinn? Are you alright? Santana, what's wrong? Someone please explain," Rachel was growing frustrated that no one would answer her questions.
Finally, Quinn managed to recover from her laughing fit. "Rachel, Britt have you guys read Jewfro's latest story?"
Quinn handed her phone to the girls and waited for their reactions. Brittany's smile grew as she finished reading. Maybe this would help her friends see their feelings for each other. Rachel's blush deepened as she finished reading the last paragraph.
Brittany giggled. "Rach, everyone thinks you and San are dating. That's so cute!"
Oh my. What does Santana think? What if she's mad? I'm positive she doesn't like me the way I like her.
"Uh. I, uh, well at least he wrote in inverted pyramid. Santana, I apologize if this misconception made you uncomfortable," stammered Rachel.
Santana smiled. "It's fine, Rachel. I think Jewfro's just jealous that you would pick me over him. I'm starving, let's go eat."
It had been two weeks since the story about Rachel and Santana traveled around the school. They managed to clear it up, but many of the girls Santana used to flirt with had been tentative in flirting back (they probably still thought she was dating Rachel or something). She would always flirt with anyone who caught her eye, and yeah she maybe broke a few hearts along the way, but she was always careful. Sex with anyone from WMHS is strictly forbidden. It's not like she could go all the way either. Don't get her wrong, she's had her fair share of experiences but never the "real" thing. That was something reserved for her mate.
Too bad my mate doesn't even know how I feel. I swear, sometimes I can be such a wimp.
Santana and Rachel grew closer every day that passed by which meant that Santana's bond with Rachel strengthened even more. There were days where Santana thought she would have to cut a bitch for staring at Rachel. People were always leering at her legs, and Santana never failed to send them death glares. Usually Noah Puckerman was responsible for setting the wolf inside of her off. Puck was close friends with Rachel, so he was always draping his arm around Rachel and calling her his "Jewish princess". Every time he did that Santana became a mess of jealous anger.
Puck's such an idiot. He needs to get his hand off my mate. Rachel's mine.
While her bond with Rachel grew so did her need to mate. It's not her fault okay, it's part of her nature. Before, it wasn't a big problem because Santana usually ignored Rachel, but things are different now. She's learned that Rachel is a touchy-feely type of person. There are times Santana can't think straight when Rachel happens to do something innocent oblivious to the reactions Santana's having.
For example, yesterday.
*Flashback*
They were at one of Mr. Shuester's glee club meetings. Rachel managed to convince Santana to join. (Honestly, it wasn't surprising considering Brittany and Quinn were already in it. Plus, Rachel's legs kind of distracted her.)
Santana was sitting in her spot lazily filing her nails. These meeting were pretty boring. Next thing she knows, Rachel is sitting in her lap.
"What the hell, Rachel?"
"Shh, San! Brittany and Mike are performing, and I want to have a better view."
This is normal for friends, right? Whatever.
The music began to play signaling the start of Brittany and Mike's dance. It was an upbeat tune so naturally, everyone began to dance along. Including Rachel. While she was still on Santana's lap. Santana could feel Rachel jumping up and down and moving to the beat on her groin.
Oh my god, she has to stop. This feels so good, but if she doesn't stop, I'm going to embarrass myself.
"R-Rachel. Stop moving so much." Santana moved her arms around Rachel to try to stop her.
"Oh Santana, don't be a prude. That's Quinn's job."
Santana tightened her hold on Rachel during the song. She sent silent prayers above for the song coming to an end. She didn't know how much more she could take, so she quickly excused herself to the bathroom.
That's weird. Santana must have had her cell phone in her pocket because it felt like something was poking me. Oh well.
*End flashback*
And that's why Santana decided to confess to Rachel her secret. Both of them.
"I'm going to do it today."
Brittany and Quinn glanced curiously at Santana. The three of them sat at a table in the library studying for a test next block.
"Do what, San?" asked Brittany.
"I'm telling Rachel about me. I'll invite her over for dinner tonight."
"Yay, Sanny! I think it's cool that Rach is gonna find out you're her mate."
"Wait…what?!" Santana and Quinn both whisper-yelled.
"B, how do you know that? I didn't tell anyone. Not even my parents!"
"Sanny, it's obvious you like Rachel."
Quinn smirked, "Yeah, S. You're not very subtle. Don't worry, we have your back. Call us if you need anything tonight, but I'm sure Rachel will take it well."
"Just don't say anything to Rachel, okay? I don't wanna freak her out with the whole mate thing yet. She's in the glee classroom right now. I'm gonna go ahead and ask her. Later, Q. Bye B."
Santana walked into the classroom instantly spotting Rachel by the piano.
"Hey, Rach. I was wondering you'd like to come over tonight and-"
"A sleepover? Of course, San! I was wondering when you would ask. You have them with Quinn and Britt regularly, and I was starting to feel left out. I will be over around 6 pm. See you then. I have to go prepare," squealed Rachel.
Rachel exited the room before Santana could even reply. Santana groaned realizing what this meant. Rachel would be sleeping over which meant she would be sleeping in her bed right after Santana confessed both her secrets. To make matters worse, one of Santana's secrets consists of telling Rachel about her "little friend". A friend that was all too eager in getting to know Rachel better.
This is gonna be harder than I thought.
A/N: I finished this chapter up yesterday, so that's why it's up so early. I feel like I'm spoiling you guys when I update every day! Don't be alarmed if that stops tomorrow though. I'll try my hardest to update, but I'm gonna be really busy. THANKS FOR THE FAVORITES, ALERTS, AND REVIEWS! I read all of them and try to answer some :)
mon85babe- I'm glad I could brighten up your day!
heavy-chan- Yay, I made you happy! An angry Santana is always hot, haha. I'm not a big fan of Finn either. It still upsets me that he would make Rachel give up her dreams for him. Then with that pregnancy scare in the episdoe, I thought I was gonna faint.
snowdrop1026- I KNOW! If they make that a Bram storyline, I don't know what I'll do. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. She may or may not find out about San's secret next chapter ;)
blueninjahgirl- soon, I hope. Even I don't know what will happen in each chapter. I just write :)
