She Takes Everything I Love Chapter 2

Five Years Ago

"Are we going to talk about what happen between us?" Santana questioned. I dropped my duffle bag on the floor next to hers. She pulled the shirt over her head revealing her sports bra. I gave her a once over and bit my lip. Santana smiled seductively my way but it was truly hard to get into it in the locker room of a gym.

"There's nothing to talk about Santana. We had sex, we were both drinking a lot and we had sex. It didn't mean anything it was just sex"

There was an awkward silence between the two of us. Santana's face faltered a bit but she recovered quickly in true 'Santana form'

"I'll see you out there" Santana retorted grabbing her bottle of water and slamming her locker shut and stalking away.

I frowned sitting on the bench looking for my phone to send Rachel a my phone vibrated. Smiling, I saw Rachel's name across the screen and read her message.

I have to say, of all the ways I've enjoyed my early morning coffee, spending it with you was by far the best.

I smiled taking another glance of the text before deciding what to say in my reply. It did feel at all like we met this morning. I couldn't help thinking that this girl was something special indeed.

I can think of a few ways to knock this one out of the park. I'll call you later coffee buddy.

One last smile before I changed and put my stuff into the locker, knowing somehow that Rachel was going to be a special part of my life.

Present Day

"Hey" I said pulling my hair into a ponytail. Rachel sat on the floor of the living room with Ethan on his play mat. His head turned quickly in my direction as he reached up for me to take him into my arms. I bent down and lifted him into me, kissing his forehead, then cheek.

"Hey little buddy. You having fun with mommy?" I all but whispered into his ear. He pulled a couple strands of my hair, trying to put them in his mouth.

"Lunch is in the kitchen if you're hungry" Rachel said coming to stand by the two of us rubbing Ethan's back. I thanked her, starting towards the kitchen. She reached out for Ethan so I handed him over and went to warm something up. Rachel and Ethan followed me into the room singing the alphabet song. She settled him into the high chair and walked over to fridge for one of his snack cups. I pushed the button on the microwave and leaned against the counter. I watched Rachel with Ethan and a smile graced my face. Rachel looked at me and frowned a little.

"What's wrong?" I asked a little apprehensive of what would happen next.

"I have to go to the office for a few hours. I wanted to wait for you because of Ethan"

The microwave went off and Ethan jumped a little. I smiled at his antics, along with Rachel. She ran her hand through his head to calm him and kissed his cheek before standing. She walked over to me resting her hand on my chest and letting it linger. "I'll be back soon. Eat your lunch and be good for mommy"

Wanting to kiss her, I leaned in to touch her mouth but she pulled away, kissing my cheek instead. "I'll see you later"

I turned the car off after 3 hours of driving and gripped the steering wheel tightly. From the moment I found out that Quinn slept with Santana it all but clicked for me. Just thinking about it was starting to give me a migraine. I walked to the door and knocked three times, while waiting. I turned the car keys over and over in my hand until the door opened.

"Rachel" she stated. I smiled shyly and continued to stare at her.

"Hey Santana. Can we talk?"

More to come soon. Hope you're enjoying it so far.
