Chapter 3 - Talks, Crushes, Jealous People and Abs

Can I tell you something? -MRose

Is this about your secret crush on one Santana Lopez? -KWilde

How did you know about that? -MRose

Marley. I'm not stupid. I see the stares and the glances and the smiles, the fliriting. It's really obvious that you both like each other. -KWilde

It's that obvious? -MRose

Yeah it's pretty noticable atually. -KWilde

Do you think I should tell her? Or do you think that would freak her out? -MRose

I'd tell her when the time is right... Don't you think? -KWilde

Yeah I guess your right. But what if she doesn't feel the same way? -MRose

I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. -KWilde

What? I don't understand? -MRose

Marley. The girl can't stop starring at you. -KWilde

Really? She stares at me? -MRose

My god! You are so clueless. Everytime I see her starring at you, or smiling at you. I could make out that she really likes you! -KWilde

Marley? You there? -KWilde

Marley didn't know what to say. I mean sure she likes Santana, but what she didn't realize is that Santana might like her too.

Yeah sorry. Had a moment. -MRose

Look. Before she goes back to Kentucky, tell her you like her. I think it would be perfect time. -KWilde

Thanks Kitty. Your a great friend. -MRose

*Rolls Eyes* Duh! See you tomorrow -KWilde

Marley needed to know for sure if Santana likes her. She needs to have at least some proof that the girl likes her. So Marley did the unthinkable. She texted the Latina.

Hey do you want to hangout? -MRose

Sure! What did you have in mind? -SLopez

A movie marathon at my house? -MRose

Can I choose what we get to watch? -SLopez

Sure! As long as it's not to scary. :) -MRose

Don't worry. I won't pick anything scary. How about a romcom marathon? -SLopez

Awesome! You bring some movies and we can pick from your stack and than my stack. -MRose

WANKY! ;) -SLopez

And sure. That does sound awesome. What time do you want me to come over? -SLopez

Now? Or maybe after 6? -MRose

Alright than. See you tonight than. :) -SLopez

Marley couldn't help but blush. She was so excited to see Santana tonight that she wanted to jump up and down for joy. She had picked out moives like, 50 First Dates, How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days and The Wedding Planner. Such great movies for such a great situation. Not really great choice of movies. But it's all I have that's really funny and romantic. Marley needed some ideas to make the night... Not so awkward.

Kitty. How do I make things not so awkward? -MRose

Just be your self. -KWilde

That's saying something... Espically if it's coming from you. -MRose

I'm serious! Just. Be. Your. Self! -KWilde

Fine! I'll be myself! I'll tell you what happens tomorrow! -MRose

Use protection! -KWilde

...

Brittany was just having a wonderful day when she notices something... Uncommon. Santana Lopez being nice to... I think her name is Mary? NO! It's Marley! Brittany didn't understand there friendship. Sometimes she doesn't understand what's going on most of the time. But Sam is always there to help her through... Even though he is just a rebound from Santana... Which he doesn't know...

She was watching the two from her locker. Eyeing every more they make. Or every eye contact they make. She could tell that Santana at first was eyeing Marley up and down. Which was weird because Marley is like a sophmore. And she's a freshman in college. Than she notices Marley's blush of redness. Than the touching. Than the standing to close to each other... Brittany is basically noticing everything that they do. Which might be a little bit creepy. Which she really doesn't care.

She tried to make out what they were saying... But she could never read lips real well either. So she had someone spy on them for her. A local friend I'm assuming.

"What are they saying, over." She says into the walkie talkie.

"I believe they were talking about movies and cuddling."

She shook her head and takled into the walkie talkie. "Well what else have they been saying?"

"Santana called her cute. And Marley just blushed."

Brittany didn't like this new friendship. She knew it was going to lead somewhere real soon. And she didn't want it to happen at all. She needed to come up with a plan to destroy there frienship.

"I'll check back later Arite! Over and out."

...

It was Glee and everyone was having fun. Mike was showing off his dance moves and his abs... Which some of the girls thought it was hot. The boys... Just showed off there muscels to see who had bigger muscles.

Santana was talking to Marley about her duet with Blaine. Though there voices don't really mesh together. Santana thought it was a good idea anyway. "Okay. So I was thinking that we need to practice more. So I'm having you and Blaine practice for me after Glee today. Is that cool?"

Marley just nodded and sighed. "I'm so nervous. I've never sang in front of a crowd before."

Santana smiled and patted Marley's back. "You'll be fine. As long as you now the words, and know how to control your breathing than you'll be fine. And you can't mess up your dancing either."

Marley just nodded. She knew this was going to be hard. And she knew she needed to practice a ton. "So um. I had a good time last night." She said with a smile.

Santana smiled while nodding her head in agreement. "I had a good time too. We should do that more often. You know just, friends hanging out." Even thought I want to be more than just that.

Marley nodded. "I think that would be totally awesome. So um... How about tonight?"

Santana sighed. "I can't. My mother wants to do a mother daughter thing tonight... Which is a bit strange. How about tomorrow night?"

"Yeah. Tomorrow sounds good." Marley softly smiled and watched Mike as he flexed his muscles and showed off his amazing abs.

...

Santana was exhausted. She had never been so exhausted in her enitre life. She had run through Marley and Blaines duet it so many times, that it's basically stuck in her head. She was humming along when her mother called her into the living room.

"Hey mom. How was work?" She asked while sitting down next to her mom.

Mrs. Lopez smiled and nodded. "Work was alright. But I wanted to talk to you about something."

Santana was now worried. "Oh my god your pregnant?"

Mrs. Lopez raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "No Mija I'm not pregnant. I don't need another child when I already have two of you."

"Right." Santana misses her brother. After being gone to college for two years and in London for three. She sorta misses how she would talk to him about everything. "How is Mateo doing anyway?"

"Your brother is curently dating a girl. And she looks very lovely."

Santana just nods her head and looks down at her hands. "So what is it that you wanted to talk about?" She was getting a little nervous. She hopes this isn't another talk about sex. Because she's already had three conversations about it. One from her mom. One from her Dad. And one from her abuela. She's surprised that her brother hasn't given her that talk... Which is good because she doesn't need to her it again.

"I want to talk about you and your little friend... What's her name?"

Santana raised an eyebrow. "Marley?"

"Yes! Marley. I want to talk about you and Marley?"

Santana was now afraid. "Okay?" But she was more confused than afraid.

"Are you having sex with her?"

Santana chocked a cough out. "Mom! We are not having sex! I'm just mentoring her."

"Well you never know. I mean one thing leads to another and-"

"MOM! Just stop... Please just stop talking. Me and Marley aren't having sex. I promise."

Mrs. Lopez just nods and hugs her daughter. "Well good. I'm glad." She pulled away and smiled at her daughter. "Good night Santana." She stands up and heads to bed.

As Santana was getting ready to go to sleep, her phone had gone off. When she looked at her screen it had been a text. When she opened it, it had been from one Miss Marley Rose. Which made her smile.

Thanks for all your help today! It really helped! -MRose

It's no problem. Just remember what I told you okay. -SLopez

Okay. You are the greatest mentor ever! -MRose

Duh! I'm the greatest person you'll ever meet. -SLopez

So I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Santana. -MRose

Good night Marley. -SLopez
