Author's note: Sorry the update literally took forever. School and such made it hard. And I had no ideas. Pease, R & R
After that night, when Finn showed up at Santana's house, the two hardly spoke. Santana would actually go out of her way to ignore and avoid the taller teenager. It was difficult, considering that their classes were together, and his locker was next to hers. She had no intention of talking to him. Her head, it was just so confused about everything happening in her life.
Then Christmas came along, and Santana spent it alone. Her parents both had to go on business trips, and her grandmother wouldn't speak to her. Santana stayed by herself in her home in Lima Heights. It was about 7 in the morning. Santana was still sleeping, since there was no tree, no presents to open, no nothing. All she dreamed about was Finn. Finn, and his kisses, and how cool it would be to get together with him. She woke up, startled, coming to a realization. She loved him. Not just a small crush. She loved Finn.
As if on cue, her cell started to ring.
"Mmm, hello?"
"Merry Christmas, Santana."
"Actually, it's not so merry, Frankenteen. Merry Christmas to you too."
"You seem tired and cranky."
"I woke up after a weird dream, and I am spending Christmas alone. Obviously I'm cranky."
"Don't be."
Then he hung up.
Santana pressed the OFF button on her phone, utterly confused. They were finally having a decent conversation, and he hung up. Who does that? She was pissed. Santana needed to tell him how she felt. She had too. She realized something. She wasn't a lesbian. But she was not bisexual. She just loved whoever she loved.
Santana walked to the living room, and looked at the emptiness, sighing deeply. She turned on Christmas music, turning on her karaoke version of Santa baby. She sang along softly, sitting on the couch in her bra and pajama pants. Her hair was in a messy ponytail. The most she'd done that morning was brush her teeth and put deodorant on.
She was done singing. She wasn't happy enough for it. She turned on Adele, and laid on te couch, sprawled out, listening to the words. It was about 7:37 now. Santana rolled on to her belly, on the couch, burying her face in a cushion. It was such a crappy day. She didn't have anyone around.
Then she heard a knock.
Santana strolled to the door lazily, actually confused as to who would be there before 8am, on a holiday. She knew she looked bad, but she still went to answer it anyways. Her jaw dropped when she saw Finn, standing on the front step, holding a small, little box wrapped up in school coloured ribbon.
"Finn… Hi"
"Merry Christmas Santana."
Santana didn't say anything more. Despite the fact that it was cold and snowing, and she had a bra and pajama pants on, she stepped outside, facing Finn. The Latina looked him in the eyes, before pressing a deep kiss on his lips. She gently slid her tongue into his mouth, massaging it gently against his. She was so relieved, after she did it.
"Woah."
"Sorry about that. I couldn't help myself."
"Wait.. what?"
"I love you."
"Y..You do?"
"Yes Finn, I do."
"Well.. I love you too."
"So what does this mean?"
"It means.. Come to my place for Christmas. Kurt has Blaine over, and frankly, I want you there. After you open this."
Santana nodded, and opened the box, revealing a small necklace with his name in cursive, surrounded by her birthstone. It was gorgeous.
"Holy SHIT, FINN!"
"You like it? I uh, didn't know if you would.."
"I love it."
"Good."
"Want me to put on real clothes first?"
"I have a shirt you can wear, in the car."
The two of them held hands as she locked the door, and went to his car. He had his red sweater in the car, and Santana insisted on wearing it. It was her favorite, she had to. Finn pulled up to his house, and the two got out of the car.
"So does your mom and Burt know you were getting me of all people?"
"Nope."
"But… Burt knows I thought I was gay…"
"And I told him how it was a misunderstanding."
Santana just shook her head and smiled. Finn laughed, picking her up bridal style, just like he did the one day at school. He kissed her softly, and opened the door to the house, still holding her.
"Finn, who'd you bring h-…"
Kurt stopped dead in his tracks with Blaine freezing right behind.
"Santana…? Finn, of all people, Santana?"
Santana glared a Kurt, feeling hurt by his word selection.
"Yeah Kurt, I love her, and she loves me, and her parents were gone for Christmas."
Finn held her hand tight, and went to the living room to see Burt and Carle, who stood by the tree, opened mouthed at the newly formed couple.
"Hey, Finn, um, whys Santana here?"
"Burt, mom... Santana's my girlfriend now."
Burt shook his head.
"Now hold on a second. Santana, I thought you were a lesbian?"
"I thought I was too. Until Brittany broke my heart, and I realized that I had feelings for no other females. And Finn swept me off my feet... Literally. He picked me up and kissed me."
"Well, as long as you're happy, I guess."
Burt walked over and gave Santana a welcoming hug, as did Carole. Kurt and Blaine smiled form the hallway, before joining everyone. Santana watched as Finn got the Christmas morning giddies, and she giggled, finding it adorable. One his family was done, Finn took Santana to his bedroom, smiling at her.
