Back Into You by Amber Davis (Requested by Gleeaim13)

I never thought I'd find myself standing on the streets creeping in through a window. I'm not the creeping type, though the homeless guys sitting on the bench right next to me kept giving me a look. I tried to ignore him, but it was getting a little difficult. I should go in. It took me all fall and winter to safe up enough money for the train ticket. Now that I stand here, I'm almost certain I made the wrong decision by coming here.

She looked so happy. I could tell she was laughing just by the way her head tilted and shoulders shook. She had moved on, made a life for herself here.

I gnawed on my lower lip, trying to gain the courage to walk in through the door. I still loved her; there wasn't a day that didn't go by that I didn't think about how she was doing or if she missed me like I did her. It was not to pick up the phone and call her late at night just to hear her voice or to text her my random thoughts that I had throughout the day. Everything was different and it definitely wasn't high school.

Did she still love me? I hope she still did or this trip was going to be a big and epic fail.

I finally stepped away from the window and took a deep breath before walking through the door. I came all this way, plus I was starving.

Kurt noticed me first and his eyes widened seeing me standing there. The hostess asked me if it was just a table for one and I finally tore my eyes away from Santana's back and answered her politely. I glanced back towards her and found Kurt still staring with his mouth open slightly. She was quickly snapping her fingers in front of his face trying to get his attention. When she couldn't get it her body turned around. Our eyes immediately locked as the hostess brought me to a table.

I desperately wanted to rush over to her and wrap her up into a huge hug. But I didn't know exactly where we stood at the moment. Hopefully still best friends. But I pushed her here to follow her dream. She needed to find her own way without me for a while. I just couldn't keep away forever, it hurt staying way this long.

I thanked the hostess and picked up my menu looking it over. I glanced over to the main counter and found both Kurt and Santana in a heated discussion. Santana slumped slightly before turning on her heels. She took in a deep breath and put her wall up. She shouldn't have to do that around me. It made me sad that we got ourselves to this point.

I eyed her closely as she approached my table pulling out her little notepad to take my order. Damn she looked really sexy in that red outfit. Red was always an amazing color on her.

"Hi." She said softly.

"Hey." I gave her a small smile.

"Umm-" It was an awkward situation that was for sure. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"A milkshake please."

"What kind?"

I stared at her. "Surprise me."

Our eyes just lingered on one another but she slowly turned away walking away from the table. I just watched her. Kurt was still behind the table but Rachel had now joined her, they both gave me a wave and a smile. I returned the gesture before staring at Santana's backside as she talked with the guy behind the counter making drinks.

She returned shortly after with a large glass of chocolate liquid with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "What is it?" I asked with a smile.

She just shrugged. "A surprise." I could tell she was trying not to smile back at me.

I took a small sip and almost moaned at the amazing taste of chocolate and peanut butter. "Yummy!"

She pulled her pad out again. "You ready to order?"

I nodded. "Do you have shrimp?"

Her eyes knitted in confusion. "Ahh-no."

"Oh well-" I stared at her. "Do…you ahh-wanna get some later?"

Her eyes roamed my face before locking eyes with me again. She was quiet for was seemed like minutes. I wanted to beg her to say something, even if it was a no. I knew I shouldn't have come here like this.

"I like shrimp."

My eyes widened a little bit at her reply. "Me too." I smiled brightly and her lips ever so slowly curled into a small smile.

Santana Lopez had just agreed to go on a date with me! Step one of my plan to get her back, complete. I just hope she'd take me back completely. If she did I'd never ever let her go again. Because she was mine and I am hers. That was the one thing I was absolutely sure about.
