Two days later, Santana found herself on the front porch of the Berry house. She'd only been there once, during Rachel's party the year before. She was about to ring the doorbell, when the front door swung open. Santana was suddenly facing two men. "Uh... hi. I'm Santana Lopez... I'm in Glee with Rachel. Is she here?" she asked. The larger of the two men nodded.

"She's downstairs in the basement, rehearsing. You're welcome to go down there. Can you tell her we left?" he asked. Santana nodded and entered the house as the two men left. She made her way to the basement and found Rachel singing into a microphone.

"Uh... sorry to interrupt..." Santana said lamely. Rachel looked up.

"What are you doing here?'

"Apologizing. I'm sorry for kissing you. I don't know what came over me... I really do want to sing this duet with you. Can we try rehearsing again?" Santana asked. Rachel bit her lip. "Look, I understand if you don't want to..." Santana trailed off, not even knowing where this was coming from.

"Fine. But we stand on other sides of the room." Rachel said. Santana raised an eyebrow, but went on with it.

[Rachel]
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
Baby's so sweet

Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can't help it, baby

So be kind
And don't lose your mind
Just remember
That I'm your baby

Santana couldn't help herself from walking closer to Rachel as she sang.

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to -

Santana didn't even get to finish her part of the chorus before Rachel pulled her closer and kissed her. Santana attempted to pull away, but Rachel tightened her grip as they fell onto the couch that Santana had once made out with Sam on. Santana hesitated, but kissed the girl anyway.

"Tana..." the diva moaned. Santana smirked, but forced herself to pull away.

"Rachel, this isn't right. You're with Finn." Santana said. 'And I don't even like you. I'm doing this to break you guys up.' Santana thought, though she couldn't shake the feeling that the thought felt forced.

"I don't care about that." Rachel said, trying to kiss the Latina again. Santana shook her head. 'Don't let her do it, Lopez... why not? Then they'll break up and I don't have to do this anymore... because she'll get upset, you don't want to see her upset... that's EXACTLY what Iwant!... right? No... Fuck! I don't know what I want... but damn. She was adorable when she called me Tana... oh shit. What do I want?' she thought.

"Rachel we can't do this!" she practically yelled.

"I'll break up with Finn. I've been think a lot about this the past couple of days." Rachel said. Santana closed her eyes. 'Tell her... she'll hate me forever! She can't ruin her relationship for something fake... yea she can. That's the whole point. You know what? Fuck it... great. I can't even admit this in my own mind... okay... IlikeRachelBerry... I can't believe I had to whisper that in my mind. Tell her. She'll hate me! If you really like her, you need to tell her.' Santana thought. Rachel, unaware to the girl's internal struggle, surged forward again.

"Look, Rachel, I'm really into this... like so into this, but I can't let you break up with Finn." Santana said.

"Why not?"

"Because... ah shit this is going to be hard... Look, I originally asked you to do a duet as a part of my plan to break you and Finn up." Santana said, closing her eyes.

"Wha... Why would you do that?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know... but Rachel, I like you..."

"So is that what that kiss was? A part of your plan?" Rachel asked. Santana opened her eyes and shook her head.

"No. No, that kiss was real." Santana said. Rachel laughed.

"Real? Wow... you know what that kiss was? It was a lie. And it was as fake as the person who initiated it. Get the hell out of my house. I will never sing a duet with you, Santana."

"Rachel..."

"Now! Go!" Rachel yelled. Santana blinked back tears as she stumbled through the basement. She managed to mutter an "I'm sorry." before walking out of the basement.
