For a few weeks they kept their distance from each other, and their apartment was indeed a ghost town. Santana would make the meals for Marley, and take her to school, but from there they'd depart from each other, Marley going to her classes, Santana going to coach the Cheerios. Yup, that was the way they were living their lives, complete silence. Dealing with the batch of Cheerios is rather cake to Santana, she thinks to herself what it'd be like if this was full time thing, at least she could be around Marley more often.. Right.. Marley, the woman Santana left in tears for a whole night. Santana needed to get her shit together, fast, otherwise Marley may leave her.

Marley, relaxing in study hall, contemplating everything that the past month transpired, and yet she feels so.. Empty. Marley had obtained her High School Equivalency pre-test books from Lima U, and she's been working like a horse to come up with the money to take her test. But with clothes, paying a portion of the bills(even though Santana told her no on the bills.), paying for her rides to and from work, food during her lunch hour at work, she's lucky if she has $10 to her name at this rate. The poor girl is just wanting to get the test done and over with so she can get on with her life, and eventually be able to support herself.

Everything just hasn't clicked for Marley it seems, one second Santana is this awesome bad-ass protector, then the next she is this scared being that would run at the sight of an Ant. Maybe this was Santana's way of telling Marley that she needs to fend for herself, maybe Marley needs to find someone else to love, maybe.. Maybe Santana doesn't want her anymore.. She nearly teared up at the thought, so she got up and walked out of the study hall. She took a left down one hallway, a right down another, until she was met with a cherry slush drink to her face.

"Oh I'm sorry, I figured since your last name is Rose, you should have a bit of red on you." a slightly taller brunette raised an eyebrow before walking away from Marley. This other woman was clearly a Cheerio due to the red and white outfit that she was wearing, similar to the other outfits.

In the distance Santana spotted the incident, and took it upon herself to take action. She stormed over to the cheerleader, intentionally getting in her way. "Weird Amber, I remember you needed to go home for the day because you weren't feeling good. Yet here you are, bullying another student."

The Cheerio stammered for a few moments.

"Yeah, shut up. If you lie to me again, it's 3 laps around the entire school, inside and out. If I catch you bullying any of the students here, it's gonna be 5 laps. So get to class." Santana pressed on angrily, scaring the cheerleader away, which was probably the first thing that had to do with Marley that she did at school. Santana slowly walked back to Marley, feeling a bit scared of how she would react. "Here," she said as she pulled a towel from her workout bag. "don't worry, I didn't use it yet. I have another one in my bag that I use for showering. I'll just wait til I get home to worry about my sweat." she continued with a chuckle.

Marley gave Santana a cold look as she grabbed the towel.

Santana looked to the side "Uhm," she started scratching her arm lightly "here's a spare shirt." Santana handed Marley the shirt then backed away slowly "I have to go back to my temp office.. So.. Later." she turned and walked away.


Marley took that night off of work, she wanted to take time to clear her head in fear of losing her shit on a customer that didn't deserve it. One thing Marley loved doing, and learned how much she loved doing it since Santana showed her how fun it can be, was cooking. This was almost a big passion in Marley's life now, almost if she wants to give up being a songwriter in favor of being a culinary chef.. Maybe not, Marley's a tad too devoted to want to be a musician of some sort, so maybe she will end up doing this as a side thing in case music doesn't work her way.

Santana walked inside of the apartment, taking a whiff of the aroma that filled. She gently dropped her bag and in a trance, followed the scent to the kitchen. "Okay, what is that you're cooking?" she asked her girlfriend as she bit her lower lip.

Marley stared daggers towards Santana, clearly not in the mood to talk to Santana and who can blame her? Well, they need to talk at some point, and this was not the point they should talk. "Food." was her only response.

"Is she still pissed at me for leaving? I realized I was a tit and all.. But does she not realize that I just needed to clear my head?" Santana scoffed and turned away. "Fine." she softly spoke to herself, walking towards the couch, grabbing the remote in the process. "You know, someday we are going to have to talk. We can't just let the silence continue, it wouldn't be right." she pointed out before turning the television on.

Marley's daggers turned swords at those words "Are you kidding me? What the fuck Santana!?" she growled under her breath as she began to chop the vegetables. "You want to talk, let's talk Santana." Marley spoke out in an angry tone of voice. "Let's talk about how I begged you, pleaded you not to leave, and you did just that. Leaving me here to cry all night." she said rather fast, and angrier. "How about the fact that you promised me you wouldn't leave me, and that you would take care of me no matter what happens." the chopping of the vegetables became louder, almost startling Santana. "And all you said, was that sometimes people break their promises.. Well you know what I didn't expect you to be like EVERYONE else in my life, that all said they would stay. You're no different at this-" CHOP! "Ow, fuck!" Marley had accidentally chopped part of her finger, she quickly grabbed the hand that had the chopped finger, holding it in pain.

Santana quickly on her feet, she ran to Marley in almost a flash. The second she approaches Marley she looked around for something cloth, she pulled down a plate cloth and wrapped it around Marley's finger. She took Marley over by the sink, running the finger under some cold water, every whimper Marley made was silenced by Santana's shushing. Santana checked the finger closely then smiled up at Marley "You didn't chop anything off thankfully, let's get this wrapped up." she demanded.

Marley nodded and allowed Santana to take her into the bathroom, once they get in the bathroom, Santana checks the medicine cabinet for some rubbing alcohol and cotton balls. Light sniffles were heard from Marley, she looked at the floor while Santana cleaned the wound and wrapping it in a bandage. "I-"

"Stop." Santana looked into Marley's eyes "I fucked up bad. I know I promised you that I'd stay, but.. I wasn't far from the apartment." she explained. Marley giving Santana a shocked look. "I was outside of the complex, thinking about us." Santana spoke as she moved closer to Marley. "I will make any sacrifices needed for you, from this day forward."

Marley smiled a bit at Santana's words, but as she was about to say something.. DING! The egg timer went off, and Marley dashed out of the bathroom to check on the food.


Over the course of a few days, the couple talked over some various things, Santana telling Marley to NOT pay for any portion of the bills, and to also let her know if any of the Cheerio's gives her any problems. Marley letting Santana know about how she plans on taking her High School Equivalency test before summer starts, and how she is going to try to get more involved with anything audio related. Santana letting Marley know about her plan to become a gym teacher, and try to learn about human biology. It was easy to say that they made up for the most part, and were willing to ignore the drama that happened the month prior.

Now things were finally back on track for the young Marley Rose, at least they were for awhile. Marley was walking through the hallway when she bumped into Jake, and this guy was the last guy she wanted to see.

"So I heard a rumor about your roommate." Jake expressed, not letting Marley go past him. "The rumor is, she's dating someone in high school.. Know anything about that?" he asked while raising an eyebrow. "Also are you seeing anyone?"

Marley looked at Jake with much disgust, trying to find an easy way out of this conversation. "Look, Santana doesn't talk to me much outside of what goes on at work, and what goes on with her schooling." she said as she attempted to stroll away from Jake.

"Part of me thinks you're lying, and I will find out before school ends." Jake spoke out while keeping the pace Marley was going. "You're avoiding my question though, are you seeing anyone, yes or no?" he stopped Marley again, trapping her by a wall.

Marley glared at Jake angrily, clearly not in the mood for his drama. So she stayed silent.

Jake gave a low tone chuckle as he moved his head closer towards the angered Marley rose "Come on, tell me, who are you with.. I doubt they can love you as much as I do." his voice becoming rather cryptic, he was nearly stalking each movement Marley made.

"Get away from me Jake!" Marley shouted at Jake as she struggled to break free from his trap.

The young Puckerman sighed softly, nearly to the point of giving up. "Look me in the eyes and say you don't love me."

Marley couldn't believe how Jake was acting, with the way he was harassing her, why would she love him? "I don't love you Jake, not in that way, and you're pushing it to where I don't even want to be friends with you anymore." she shoved Jake away and started to run away from him. Leaving Jake broken hearted almost.


Marley walked through the doors to the apartment, to see Santana doing something completely out of the ordinary. Santana was playing video games, right on the coffee table was a glossy, brand-spanking new PlayStation 3. Marley close to questioning it, but she already knew the benefit of owning one of those things anyways, so she sat beside Santana and watched as she played The Last Of Us.

After 15 minutes Santana stopped to look at Marley, the brunette's face was slightly depressed, but was unknown as to why. "If this is about the PlayStation, well, there was a deal at the mall for this thing and we needed something to entertain ourselves since we have Netflix but nothing besides our phones and your laptop to watch it on." she tried to explain but looked down "Also I kinda wanted to play this game.." Santana bit her lower lip while holding her hands close together.

"Santana, what you do with your money is none of my business." Marley waved her hand and chuckled. "I was meaning to ask you about the whole entertainment thing." she nodded then leaned her head against Santana's shoulder. "I am a bit upset though, something scary happened." unsure if it's needed, she went ahead and started to explain. "Jake came to me in a severe creepo way, asking me about you, and if I was with someone, and then trying to get back with me all at once." while she explained the story she did little hand gestures to exaggerate the moment.

Santana wanting to fix this, feeling like it was her duty to go cuss out Jake, but she decided not to leave Marley while she's down. Santana wrapped her arms around Marley's waist, pulling her close. "Jake can't get you here, so you have nothing to worry about." she explained while positioning herself to where Marley could rest on her lap. "Soon you will be out of school, and you will be a high school grad.. Then you will go after whatever the hell you want to go after."

Well, Santana was right after all. Marley just needed to figure out how to deal with the remaining time she had at school. "Santana, do you think that I will accomplish my goals?" Marley asked as she rested her head on Santana's lap, looking up at her.

"I think.." Santana looked down at her girlfriend, cherishing how perfect she looked. Santana smiled shyly "You will accomplish more than your goals, hon. I will make sure you do." she winked then lightly bit the corner of her bottom lip. "Right now, I am fighting the urge to kiss you."

"Oh really?" Marley asked, shifting her body to where she straddles Santana's lap, she then hooked her arms around her girlfriend's neck gently. "What is stopping you, San?" she asked while putting emphasis on the "S".

Santana calmly blushed at the way Marley said her name. "What's stopping me.. Is the things I wish to do while we kiss." she admitted while running one hand up Marley's shirt, but not going up her torso, instead she traced her hands across the waist of Marley. "You know, I feel like a set of Pizza Bagels." Santana rubbed her nose against Marley's nose.

Marley smiled while biting her lip "You're lucky I bought the stuff for it when I went grocery shopping." she said before kissing Santana's lips once. "Let's make some, I will let you choose the spices for the sauce." Marley got off of Santana and walked towards the kitchen.


Surely enough, Marley passed her test with flying colors, which was no surprise to Santana, or any of Marley's friends. This certainly called for a celebration, and since this day is Marley's 18th birthday, this would be a perfect opportunity for Santana to take Marley on a date, not just a date, but take her out on a day meant for them. It was perfect, Marley was napping in the car on the ride to wherever Santana had planned on taking them, and Santana refused to give Marley any form of a hint as to the location of where they were going. They make it to a resort called the Great Wolf Lodge, and oblivious to Marley, Santana had obtained a room for them in advance, the weekend they started dating Santana made a call to have a room specifically for Marley's birthday.

"Babe, wake up." Santana called out as she stopped the car. Marley didn't budge much, which Santana could not help but to gush "Hey cute thing, you need to get up, we're here." she continued while lightly shaking Marley.

"No.." Marley whined and opened her eyes slowly "I was having a dream about ice cream.." she mumbled while rubbing her eyes. She looked around at this new environment they are now at "W-Where are we?" she softly asked.

"Great Wolf Lodge, I reserved a stay for the entire weekend, I packed our things and talked to your boss, you get the weekend off as a birthday gift, with pay also." Santana bit her lower lip with excitement.

Marley woke up a lot more after hearing that, she placed a hand on Santana's arm "Aw, honey you didn't have to do this for me." she expressed. Marley took her seat belt off then cupped Santana's head, giving her a gentle kiss. "You know, we can kiss all you want now that I'm 18. Like," she bit her lip as she looked around for a quick second, then playfully widening her eyes "in public." a sarcastic gasp was released from the brunette.

"I swear you're a dork. Now get your bags from the trunk." Santana rolled her eyes while she demanded.

Shortly they grabbed their bags, and carried them to the room that Santana reserved, upon opening the door Marley was instantly amazed at how big everything was. The brunette quickly shuffled inside the room, looking around at her surroundings, and as she further investigates the room she notices that there is a bedroom separate from the rest, almost like an apartment, but more luxurious. Seeing rooms like this didn't surprise Santana much, she was used to seeing rooms like these whenever she would hire Jane. Santana placed her bag on the couch that was in the living area then walked over towards the kitchen, looking through the beverages.

"Santana, do you think we can go swimming?" Marley asked from behind the counter that separated the kitchen from the rest of the room. "Please?" she gave her somewhat patented baby animal eyes.

Santana partially looked back at Marley and smirked slightly "Alright, I was hoping we'd rest a bit first but," she closed the fridge then walked over to Marley "let's get our bathing suits on." she smiled a bit more.


The couple changed into their bathing suits, made sure they had towels and sunscreen with them, the awesome thing about this lodge is the separate resting areas for the outdoor swimming pool. Santana reserved one that had the most shade, but also closest to the pool. Marley looked at Santana, closely, at every inch that was the Latina. Her face flushed a bit, the sexual tension was slamming against Marley like a plow truck moving snow.

"Uh.. S-Santana, you know this is the first time we are.." Marley gulped a bit while trying to hide her body in her towel. "This.. exposed.. In public that is." she explained, nearly forgetting that one time they almost had sex.

Santana had pure confidence "I know." she spoke. "I am not too worried about it though, I've seen what's under that bathing suit, also I've been with my fair share of women." Santana walked past Marley, placing her phone, towel, and sunscreen on the table.

Twas sorta a dick move on Santana's part, Marley's confidence was shot for a few moments but she shrugged it off. She walked to the table, grabbed the sunscreen, and started to apply it on herself.

"Fucking.. I wish we were in the room, I'd bed you right now.." Santana bit down on her lip at the sight of Marley's body, trying to shake off the tension but is incapable of doing so. "Hey Marls, how about you go ahead and swim, I am gonna rest here." Santana gave a nervous smile towards Marley's direction. "The drive wore me out, that's why." she softly chuckled while scratching the back of her head.

Throughout the time they were at the pool, Santana seemed more focused on her phone than Marley, which was rather weird in Marley's mind. She assumed that they were both in bathing suits, so they would be more around each other, but no Santana kept her distance from Marley. This was surely irritating Marley, quite a bit in fact, and she definitely had some colorful words for Ms. Lopez the second they entered their hotel room.

"Okay, I am not gonna get mad about you not joining me in the pool. You needed to relax from the very long drive, I get that." Marley said in a harsh tone as she walked towards the door to the bedroom. "But you paid little to no attention to me, pretty much none at all!" she threw her hands up in anger. "You just sat there on your phone, I don't get why. You said this trip was about us, our break from everyone and everything. And yet you spent today, MY birthday on your phone!" Marley furrowed her eyebrows and frowned "I thought, I really thought you wanted to spend time with me.."

Santana bit her lower lip, feeling bad about being on the phone for so long. "I-I am sorry Marls.." she reached out for Marley's hand but quickly pulled back, thinking it was better that Santana not try to comfort her. "I feel like a dick, I really do. Is there anything.. Probably nothing, but any chance I can make it better?" she asked with worry in her voice.

Marley shook her head "You're sleeping out here tonight, welcome to the doghouse." she spoke as she picked up her bag from the couch and walked into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

Santana flinched at the sound of the door slamming "Fuck.." she said under her breath. It was safe to say Marley was rather pissed off, and was NOT in the mood for anything from Santana. She looked over at her phone, picking it up to check something "If only Marley knew I was planning a little party here for her.. Speaking of which I need to make sure my outfit is ready." Santana rummaged through her clothes, pulling on a pair of shorts and a tank top "Okay, now to get my keys.." she looked around on the counter "There are those little bastards." Santana slightly smirked as she grabbed the keys. "Marls, I gotta go out, I forgot to pick something up on the way here!" she spoke out, but no response.

"I mean could you believe that? Like what the hell right?" Marley laid in the bed while talking on the phone.

"Girl, that's why I said you should be careful." Wade spoke from the other end.

"I mean, I was just wanting one good outing, and on my birthday, I don't get that." Marley continued with a frown on her face, and a whine in her voice.

"I know Santana promised to take care of you, but maybe you need to get yourself a new roommate." suggested Wade, the problem with his suggestion was that Marley has yet to tell Wade that her and Santana are currently dating.

"Uh.. Yeah that will have to be one for the back burner. Santana has done a lot for me in all fairness, I am just sorta ticked that it's my birthday and you know, she matters right now and she isn't even here." the brunette bit her lower lip. "I don't even know what she's up to."

-Knock, knock-

"Marls, it's me. I just wanted to tell you to meet me out at the restaurant soon, I have something for you that's waiting for you." Santana spoke out then backed away from the door to leave the room.

Marley had her eyebrow raised at the thought of that. "Should I listen to her? I know you heard that." she asked, feeling unsure.

"Might as well, I gots to get going anyways. Make yourself look good, maybe you can get some attention from someone." Wade chuckled before hanging up.

"God I love you Unique, but you can be a tit sometimes.." she chuckled softly as she got up to look through her bag for something nice. "This would have been awesome if I had packed.." Marley tossing some clothes around. Eventually she found some clothes to wear, a nice burgandy dress with shoulder straps, and to her surprise a pair high heeled, open toed, black colored pumps were in her bag. "I didn't buy these-" she was in the middle of her confusion when her eyes lit up a bit "Aw.. Santana.." she smiled at the shoes as she put them on her feet, biting her lower lip when she noticed herself in the mirror. "Let's see what she has for me.."


Marley made her way to the restaurant, and the entire place looked luxurious. It almost looked like a complete fancy restaurant, which was really cool in Marley's eyes. While she was completely amazed at how everything looked, Santana was watching her from the stage's curtain. What did Santana have up her sleeve? Marley was soon to find out.

"Ms. Rose?" a waiter called out in a calm, polite manner.

Marley quickly turned around "Y-Yes?" she asked, feeling a tad nervous as to what this waiter wanted.

He bowed at Marley and pointed her to her seat "Your reserved seat is over by the stage." he explained.

"Oh, thank you." she smiled at the waiter as she left to take her seat. "Okay Santana, what do you have planned.." Marley observed the stage, seeing that it was being filled with some band members in tuxedos. "The hell?" she raised an eyebrow at what she was seeing.

Suddenly, music starts playing, a familiar pop beat that Marley was certain she has heard before. Then, in comes Santana, moonwalking towards the mic, in a full tuxedo, and a hat to complete the look. A spin by Santana, she grabs the mic, swaying her hips to the music. And in a lowered sultry tone of voice, she starts to sing "You Rock My World" by Michael Jackson. And damn, did it ever send waves of arousal towards Marley's way. Santana's dancing, her vocals, almost emulating the King of Pop himself, but adding her own twist. Towards the third verse Santana took Marley's hand, taking her towards the dance floor, Marley just in awe of what Santana is doing for her. They dance throughout the remainder of the song, and all Santana could think was how beautiful Marley is, all these warm feelings started to fill her mind. As the song ends, Santana takes off the hat, placing it by both their faces, hiding it from the rest of the restaurant, she places a gentle kiss on Marley's lips then put her hat back on.

Marley fanning herself from the sight of Santana, doing those dance moves, singing in such a seductive manner, and.. Well Santana Lopez in a fucking suit, it was more than hot, it made Marley feel as if she was in a volcano of sexual tension. "M-My god Santana.." were the words she was finally able to make. "That was, just.." struggling to explain how amazing Santana's performance was. Marley took another look at Santana, smirked a bit as she moved closer to Santana, wrapping her arms around Santana's waist "Wanky.." she bit her lower lip while smirking.

Santana raised her eyebrow, knowing what Marley's facial expression meant. "You're gonna find out what 'Wanky' truly means, babe." she grabbed Marley's hands and took her back to their room.


"Ah.."

Santana softly moaned out as Marley pressed her against the bedroom wall, and the girl that was dominating Santana was different than the sweet, gentle Marley. This.. Woman, had a mature vibe, as if she was experienced in doing this kind of thing. The strokes of Marley's tongue lashing against Santana's neck, the sensation Santana was getting just from one simple act of foreplay was amazing to say the least. But Santana Lopez wouldn't feel justified if she just lets herself be dominated by Marley, no not at all, and in one quick swoop Santana lifted Marley up a bit, and pushed her against the wall gently, then began to kiss at the brunette's chest. Soft moans filled the room, Santana working her way to remove Marley's dress from her person.

"S-Santana.." Marley calmly called out as Santana lays her on the bed, the young Rose feeling nervous for what she was about to say. "I-I'm scared.." she bit her lower lip and frowned.

Santana slowly nodded then started to back away, but was stopped by Marley hooking her arms around Santana's neck.

"I don't want what happened last time to happen again, I need to know if I really am yours or not." Marley explained calmly, pulling Santana a bit closer to her. "Am I yours?" she asked.

"Yes Marley, you're mine.. Fucking, say it out loud estupida!" Santana looked off to the side for a few seconds then slowly meeting Marley's eyes, she went in for a deep kiss. "You're.. mmm.. You're mine.." she was able to say in the middle of the kiss.

It didn't take long for any and all pieces of clothing to find their way onto the floor, and it took even less time for Santana move her hand near a certain area of Marley's. This was it, just a few inches away from her hand touching Marley in a sexual manner. Marley didn't look nervous at all, she wanted this, almost as much as Santana wanted this, possibly more than Santana. They both gave each other looks of assurance, they go in for a kiss and thus..

"Santana.."

"M-Marley.."

After a long session of gentle, passionate, romantic sex, Santana wrapped her arms around Marley's chest, resting her head against her girlfriend's shoulder. Marley having one hand on Santana's back, the other hand against her thigh, panting softly. Words, what words could they possibly exchange with each other? It didn't matter at this point, they wore each other out, to the point that they just wanted to embrace one another and sleep.


Next morning, Santana's eyes slowly opened, looking up at the piece of beauty that was holding her, this was all Santana needed. She bit her lower lip and gave soft kisses to Marley's neck. "Babe.. Wake up." she softly demanded.

"Mm.." Marley quietly moaned as she opened her eyes, looking down at Santana with a smile creasing her face. "Why are you perfect Santana?" she asked as she moved some hair away from Santana's eyes.

Santana scoffed and rolled off of Marley, covering herself in the blanket. "I am far from perfect." she expressed while scooting closer to Marley. "But you, my love." Santana looked up at her girlfriend "You are just.. Godly." she kissed at Marley's shoulder.

Marley gently rested her head against Santana's for a few moments "Last night, was.. Holy crap.. I don't think I could ever, ever get that kind of sensation from anyone else." she confessed shyly. "I probably didn't do so well, didn't I?" Marley asked while stroking Santana's shoulder.

A chuckle escaped Santana "If you making me orgasm to the point I nearly passed out is you not doing well, I'd be curious to see what you at your best is." she continued, slowly grazing her hand against Marley's stomach. "You, were just amazing. Fuck, more than amazing. I think it was even better than any other time I did it, because it was with someone I love."

"Love.." Marley rolled her eyes and giggled, she carefully got out of bed, looking around for her panties. "I love you so much Santana Lopez, it's insane." she bit her lip as she pulled her panties on. "And since you performed for me.." she grabbed the pair of pants that Santana had wore during her Michael Jackson performance the night before, then grabbed the dress coat that came with the tuxedo, buttoning past her chest going down.

Santana bit down on her lip at the sight of seeing Marley in that suit "Goddammit Marley, you're so lucky that tux is owned and not rented. Because I really want to mount you, like, right now." she expressed with a giggle.

"I know, that's why I put it on." Marley retorted as she walked to her laptop, searching for an instrumental that she had on it. "Let's see.. Ah-ha!" she clicked on the song. "I'm gonna need you to dance with me, grab a big shirt and come here." Marley demanded while doing a nod, signalling Santana to get out of bed.

Santana complied, putting on a big T-Shirt and walking towards Marley. "What are you-"

"Oh, no did I get too close? Oh, did I almost see, what's really on the inside?" Marley started singing as she pulled Santana to her, wrapping one arm around Santana's waist, and holding Santana's free hand. Throughout the song she had her head rested against Santana's, the parts where Katy wold be loud, Marley sang in a quieter tone, the arrangement of this instrumental was perfect for slow dancing. As she finished the song, she had both her arms wrapped around Santana's waist and a smile on her face. "I love you."

Santana had her arms gently wrapped over Marley's shoulder, a tear fell from her eye as she smiled back at Marley, sniffling quietly due to how beautiful everything was at this moment. "I uh.. I made you something, a collage of us, and that's why I was on my phone, I was making sure I got the pictures and-"

"I know, I saw it on my computer when I was looking for a song. Which was why I chose it." Marley interrupted as she pressed herself closer to Santana. "Why are you crying?" she asked.

"B-Because, this is the first that I ever felt this way, different than with Britt, Dani, or anyone." Santana confessed, lips quivering a bit. "You're the only one that is able to make me this emotional, and it makes me sick, but I don't want to live without this feeling because it's for something right.. You." she expressed. "I, I.. I can't think of how else to say this other than I am in love with you Marley Rose, and I am happy we worked things out, I am happy I came back, I am even happier that I have you to come home to every night." more tears fell down Santana's face.

Surprisingly Marley kept calm, except for some tears that were dripping as well. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear San.." she admitted calmly before kissing Santana once more.

Marley tilting her head a bit to deepen the kiss, Santana slowly moving her arms down and leaving her hands grazing Marley's biceps. Slowly they stop the kiss to catch their breath, both women softly giggling. These two were definitely in love, and the amazing thing about this, they could feel it.

"Well, we have another day here.. What do you want to do?" Santana asked as she playfully tugged at one end of the dress coat that Marley was wearing.

"How about, we check this place out a bit more? I saw they had rock climbing, and some other stuff here." Marley suggested while hiding a smile behind the sleeve. "I still feel nervous around you, even after all that was said. Is that weird?" she asked with a giggle.

Santana shook her head "No, that's normal, because I am completely nervous too." she returned the giggle and gave Marley a quick kiss on the lips. "But at least I'm not alone.."

Marley nodded then walked to her bag to pick out some clothes "We need a shower." she winked at Santana as she bit her lip, then left the room while swaying her hips all the way to the bathroom.

"Oh.. Wanky." Santana said in an excited tone, she trailed close to Marley, awaiting their 'shower'.


A/N: Well then! I finished something, and it was awesome! Finally they "solidified" their relationship. As always, enjoy! Do that thing I love!
