Santana walked into the choir room to see Rachel and Finn sitting together, apparently in deep conversation. Biting her lip, she looked down. "Hey Hudson. Hey, Rach."
"Santana, can you give us some priva... did you just call her Rach?" Finn asked.
"Rachel and I are friends now. Got a problem with that?" Santana asked. Finn turned to Rachel.
"Is that why you want to break up?" Finn asked. Rachel shook her head.
"Wow... you're conceited." Finn stared at her blankly. "That means you really really love yourself." Santana said slowly. The boy rolled his eyes.
"Rachel, I won't let you break up with me." Finn said. Santana rolled her eyes.
"Seriously, Finn?"
"Stay out of this!" he yelled. Santana shook her head.
"Tana, please." Rachel whispered.
"Tana? What the hell is going on? Are you two together?" Finn demanded.
"No, Finn. I can honestly say we aren't together. However, I did get a little under the shirt action from Ms. Berry last night." Santana said. Finn gaped at Rachel before walking off.
"Fine. Have it your way, Rachel." he said before walking out the door. Santana smiled triumphantly.
"You didn't have to tell him that." Rachel said, glaring. Santana shrugged.
"If I hadn't, he'd still be in here begging you to stay with him. You can thank me now, if you want." Santana said, smirking. Rachel rolled her eyes.
"You're insane. But thank you." Rachel said.
"Anytime. So... do you think we made good progress last night?" Santana asked. Rachel looked over with wide eyes. "On the song." Santana clarified, blushing.
"Oh..." Rachel laughed. "Yea, we did. We should be able to perform within the next couple of days." Rachel said. Santana frowned.
"I guess I should start messing up... otherwise I have no excuse to hang out with you." she said. Rachel smiled and rolled her eyes.
"You don't need an excuse to hang out with me, Tana. We're friends." Rachel said. Santana smirked.
"Any chance we'll become more than just friends?" Santana asked.
"Says the girl who stopped us when we were making out." Rachel threw back.
"Touche... but seriously Rachel, you know I want you." Santana said. Rachel nodded.
"Yea... and as soon as I'm over Finn and as soon as I feel that the girl that felt the need to break Finn and I up rather than just tell me how she felt is completely gone, I promise there will be a chance. I just need time." Rachel said. Santana nodded.
"I can give you time. I owe you that much." she said. Rachel smiled. "But in the mean time... if you wanna, I don't know, make out..." she laughed when Rachel hit her. "I'm kidding. But I do have one question. I actually really like calling you Hobbit... can we use that as a term of endearment?" she asked. Rachel looked at her in disbelief before sighing.
"I guess... but if I call you a crazy bitch, its a term of endearment." Rachel threw back. Santana laughed.
"Whoa! Berry got a potty mouth." she said. Rachel rolled her eyes and Santana shrugged. "Anyway, I've been called worse."
"Santana, I would never call you that... but yes, you may call me Hobbit... if you so desire, as long as it is not in a hateful manner." Rachel said. Santana grinned.
"Thanks Rach. So... what did you do last nght?" she asked.
"Practiced my new ballet routine." Santana laughed softly.
"Of course you did." she said. Rachel rolled her eyes.
"What did you do?" she asked.
"Well, you know how they brought Nick shows from the 90's back to T.V.?" Santana asked.
"I think I saw a commercial about that, yes." Rachel said.
"Well, after you left, Britts came over. We ordered dinner and just sat in and watched them." Santana said. Rachel smiled. "Don't judge. I loved 90s Nick shows." Santana said.
"I'm not judging you. When I was growing up, I did enjoy sitting down to enjoy a refreshing television show to-"
"Or you could have said that you liked 90's Nick shows too." Santana teased. Rachel smiled and laughed. "You know, you're really pretty when you smile, Hobbit." Santana said softly. Rachel smiled softly. "Oh... I'm sorry. That's not something friends say to each other... I'm sorry." Santana said.
"Tana, its fine. Thank you." Rachel said, grabbing the Latina's hands. Santana looked down and interlocked their fingers. Rachel giggled softly and took a step closer to the other girl.
"What are you doing, Rach?" Santana asked softly.
"I don't know, Tana." Rachel whispered as she leaned up and connected their lips.
"Rachel, this is really dangerous... someone could see and we aren't even dating. Besides, you literally just broke up with Finn." Santana said. Rachel shrugged.
"I don't really care." she whispered, kissing the Latina again. Santana smiled into te embrace.
"Rachel... we have to stop. If we don't stop, I'm going to take you right up against the piano." Santana said. Rachel grinned evilly. "Rachel, get whatever idea is in your head out." Santana laughed. Rachel rolled her eyes. "Look, you said you wanted time. I'm giving you time. You said you wanted to get over Finn... that won't take long, but I know it'll take longer than ten minutes. Find me in fifteen." Santana said, causing Rachel to giggle and Santana to chuckle. "Wow... anyway, you need longer than ten minutes to get over Finn. I told you, I don't wanna be a rebound." Santana said. Rachel nodded.
"But I also remember you offering to make out." Rachel teased.
"That was a joke, Rach." Santana laughed. Rachel smiled. "Look, let's just work on our duet and see where that goes, okay?" Santana said gently. Rachel nodded.
"I can do that."
