Deep down I couldn't deny that I had feelings for my best friend, even if I just noticed myself. She was always so beautiful, even in that short moment when I spotted her a few desks in front of me that day I started high school. I remember when she looked back but her eyes didn't settle on me, and I smiled to myself hoping that I would be her friend because, well I didn't have any then. I always thought I was never good enough to have someone like her but some how I suddenly was. This girl liked me and I liked her back and for once in my life I felt good about myself. Even if she just said that the kiss was just a kiss and nothing more. I didn't believe her, I could feel that that was a lie and I didn't want a lie, I wanted her. Suddenly I couldn't feel the pain any more, not really anyway. When I was with her it all seemed to go away. She made it all disappear.
And I felt the need to tell her this even though it was three in the morning. I didn't want to call her or text her, I wanted to see her reaction with my own eyes and hear the words she said with her voice, not the words she typed. So I got out of bed, brushed my tangled hair and put a pair of jeans on along with a jacket. As quietly as I could I went downstairs, took my mothers car keys and drove to her house. It was raining, like pouring down with rain but I didn't care. I wasn't going to wuss out now. I pulled into her drive way and got out. I didn't want her parents to wake up and see I was here so I used the old 'throw a small rock at her window' cliché that we used when we would sneak out to parties and stuff.
It worked. She came and opened the front door.
"Quinn?" She called quietly. "What are you doing here?"
I took a deep breath as water soaked every part of me.
"You said it was just a kiss San... but it wasn't. It was so much more than that. I felt it and I know you did too.." I paused for a few seconds but she didn't say anything so I continued. "I don't want to be unhappy any more and with you... I'm not. I feel happy. So happy.-"
The dark haired girl walked into the rain towards me as I talked. "-and I want you Santana. I didn't see it before but I like you... I like the way you talk and walk and the way you dress. I like that you care for me and that you never left. I 've always thought you were beautiful and incredibly smart. I like the way-" Santana's arms were now around me and her lips cut the last few words of my sentence but I didn't care. I forgot everything as I enjoyed the feeling. She was the first to pull back and I finished my sentence. "-I like the way your lips feel on mine." I gave her a smile which she returned and if it wasn't raining, I could have swore that she was crying a little bit.
"I do as well, Lucy." She placed a kiss on my cheek. "I like you too."
I ran my fingers through her wet hair and pulled her closer to me. I wanted this moment to last forever. I wanted to stay here with our arms around each other and my lips on hers in the pouring rain.
She kissed me again and I could feel her shiver in the tank top she was wearing. I pulled her closer and walked her back into the house, shutting the door quietly behind us. We walked back up to her room, leaving puddles as we walked and got towels to dry us off. I couldn't help but smile, something had actually gone right and it felt good. We changed into some dry clothes, me being in some of her old track pants and T-shirt and then she trapped me in a hug from behind. I relaxed into her, sighing. "I like this." I whispered to her.
"Stay with me tonight?" I turned to her and placed a kiss on her nose with a smile. "I'd love too but we better get some sleep soon if we are to go to school tomorrow." She settled herself in bed and I followed. "Or we can miss school." She spoke with a cheeky grin. I shook my head and giggled. "Were going, right after we go to my house and explain to my mother why I stole her car."
"Fine." She huffed as I snuggled into her.
One last kiss and whispered 'Good nights' and we were asleep again.
