A/N Since more people wanted chapters (and I didn't actually give it a proper ending) this is now a chapter story. I currently have a loose plot for it but I'm sure it'll come together soon. I also realized how many spelling mistakes the last chapter actually had….whoops. Yeah, I have no beta for this. And I realize this chapter is short but I didn't know what else I could add.
A week after Santana had banned anyone from giving Rachel a slushie facial everyone had figured out that Rachel was like a new Brittany. Not that Santana treated Rachel like Brittany, she was just very protective of the smaller brunette. If you messed with Rachel you'd deal with Santana's of the students got over the initial shock and just accepted it, assuming their new friendship wouldn't last long. It also didn't bother anyone that much. Except for Quinn Fabray that is. No one knew why exactly but every time she saw Rachel and Santana together she would glare daggers at them. Not that the duo actually noticed often, Rachel would sometimes catch her but would avoid looking at her.
After Cheerios practice Quinn grabbed Santana and kept her from leaving as the rest of the squad pilled out, including Brittany who was meeting glared at the blonde, "What do you want, Tubbers?""I know Manhands has something on you." Quinn said."What the hell are you talking about?""We both know you'd never hang out with her. What does she have on you? If you tell me I can help you get out of it." Quinn said."Okay first she's not blackmailing me and even if she were why would you care? We aren't friends anymore." Santana glared at the blonde."S, that's just our relationship! We fight and insult each other but we're still friends. I may have went to far and I'm sorry.""Sorry? You're sorry?" Santana snapped. "Well you can take your apologizes and shove them up your ass!""Santana, come on. I'm sorry. What do you want me to do?""Give up your spot in the pyramid."Quinn went wide eyed, "What? I can't. You know even if I wanted too Sue wouldn't let me put you on top.""The gesture would have been enough to show me you actually care." Santana rolled her eyes then walked out of the cursed and followed her, "I do care!""Screw off! If you make me late to see Rachel I'll kick your ass."
Santana knocked on the Berry's door and after a moment Hiram opened the door."Hey Mr. B.""Hello Santana.""Rachel's here right? She asked me to come over today."Hiram nodded, "She's up in her room. It's good to see you two getting along again."Santana couldn't fight the smile, "I know. I did miss her but I just let my own problems mess up our friendship."The man smiled at her as she headed upstairs. Rachel's door was half shut, so Santana stuck her head in and knocked on it. Rachel was looking through her Ipod for a song to sing. When Santana knocked Rachel's head shot up, "Hi Tana.""Hey Tiny Star." Santana said, managing to combine two of her nicknames for Rachel. "What're you doing?""Going over the song we're singing again. I wanted to make sure we have all of the correct lyrics." Rachel said."Rachel, we've got the lyrics down. Don't worry, we're going to be awesome." Santana said, making the smaller girl smile. The Cheerio walked over to the bed and sat down.
"Santana?""What's up?""Have you noticed Quinn's always staring at us?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, I have. She grabbed me after Cheerios practice hounding me about what you have on me."
"What did you say?""I told her that you don't have anything on me. And she claimed to care but when I told her to give up her spot on the pyramid to show it she wouldn't."
"You expected her to do that?"
Santana shook her head, "No. I know she'd never give that up."
"Weren't you friends? What happened?"Santana sighed, "She just changed. The popularity was more important than our friendship I guess."
Rachel lightly rubbed Santana's knee. "You have me.""I know."After a couple of minutes of silence Rachel broke out into a big smile as if she realized something. Santana asked, "What?""So, I was your first crush, Tana?" Rachel had a huge smirk and Santana fought the blush that wanted to creep up on her.
"If I remember correctly YOU kissed me. You begged me to let you. So you were crushing on me first.""That is not what I meant. I merely meant that I was your first crush on any one individual.""God, you and your precise speech. Yeah, you were my first crush Star." Santana said, shaking her head. "But if I could kiss back then like I can now you would've fell in love with me right then and there."Rachel smiled, "Someone is quite sure of herself."
"Why wouldn't I be? I'm hot, sexy, and I know how to work my tongue!"
Rachel's face heated up at that and Santana chuckled at her. "The kiss was so good you had to stop being my friend. I think based on that fact I rocked your world."
"Oh really? If I kissed you right now you'd fall in love with me.""Is that a bet Santana?" Rachel sat up quickly and stared at the other girls eyes.
Subconsciously licking her lips Santana gave a quick nod, "Yeah, it is."
Rachel started moving towards Santana, but when she was close to Santana's face she froze. Santana closed the gap between them and pressed their lips together. Both girls felt something they hadn't before and they didn't pull apart until the need for air become an issue. They two just stared at each other, Rachel licking her lips and glancing from Santana's eyes to her lips.
Santana started moving back towards Rachel then realized what she was doing and stood quickly. "I have to go. I'll see you at school tomorrow Rachel.""Wait, Santana, I-" Santana just rushed out of her room and out the front door. Rachel ran her hands through her hair. Oh, God, why did I do that? Now she's going to run off again all because I couldn't let my attraction for her go to say no to a stupid challenge! I hope she lets me talk to her tomorrow.
