Santana and Rachel hung their heads as they walked into Trevor's office. He shut the door quietly and sat down in the chair at his desk. He gestured for the two girls to sit down in the chairs in front of his desk. They quietly sat down. Neither girl looked at Trevor or at each other. They just looked at their hands. Trevor cleared his throat. Slowly, both girls lifted their heads to look at the man in front of them. "Santana. Rachel. I'd like to discuss what happened out there." Trevor said. Rachel nodded.
"Uncle Trevor, Santana and I are... well, we're dating." Rachel said. Trevor nodded.
"Well, that's reassuring. At least I know you aren't just making out in my resturaunt." Trevor said. Rachel snuck a look at Santana, before looking back at her uncle. "But right now, I'm not your boss, Rach. I'm your uncle. When you left, you two couldn't stand each other. Now you're back from Nationals and you're dating?" Trevor asked. Rachel nodded. "What happened?" he asked. Santana spoke up.
"Sir, Rachel and I realized that we have a lot more in common than we thought and we get along really well, so we decided to try dating each other." Santana said. Trevor raised an eyebrow. "I... I really like your niece, sir. I want... I want to be able to protect her. I want to be able to make her happy. I want to be able to make her feel special. I want to be able to be the one to put a smile on her face when she's upset. I want to be able to cheer her up after someone upsets her and then go beat the hell out of whoever upset her. I just want to be with her." Santana continued. Trevor nodded.
"Rachel?" Trevor asked.
"I care about Santana. I like her. She makes me feel safe. She makes me feel like I'm worth caring about. She makes me care about something other than myself. She calls me out when I'm focusing on me rather than the team, which I really like. She helped me realize that there are bigger things out there than myself. She makes me take down my defenses and stop assuming everyone is out to get me. I should think that she's just trying to play me and set me up for some extremely cruel practical joke, but I don't. I believe that she genuinely cares about me. She helps me when I get my nightmares. She makes me feel better when I get them. She lets me talk about them when I want to and just holds me when I don't. She even protected me from Finn when he went crazy while we were in New York." Rachel said. Santana smiled softly at Rachel. Rachel reached over and grabbed Santana's hand. Trevor cleared his throat.
"Rach, I'm happy that you've found someone who makes you feel that way. You know that. But I have a dating policy in this restaraunt. And I can't very well lift the policy for you and Santana, and not anyone else. Family or not." Trevor said. Rachel squeezed Santana's hand. Santana sighed and stood up.
"Sir, I know that I can't stop you from enforcing your rules. But I also know that I can't stop seeing Rachel. So I guess what I'm trying to say is... I... I quit, Mr. Spring." Santana said.
"No." Rachel squeaked. She stood up. "San, you can't do this. It's not fair to you." Rachel said.
"Well, I'm not gonna let you quit and I won't stop seeing you. I don't want to stop seeing you. I'll just have to take whatever lecture my parents give me for not sticking to my commitments, when I'm actually sticking to the most important comittment I've ever made in my life." Santana said. Rachel looked at Santana and slightly smiled.
"Sweetie, I can't let you do that." Rachel said softly. Santana lifted an index finger to Rachel's lips.
"Shhh. Baby, it's okay. I'm doing this for us." Santana said. Rachel shook her head.
"I can't let you do that, San. I know how much you love this job." Rachel said. Santana smiled.
"Too late." she whispered. Rachel shook her head again. "Rae, I'm doing this. If it means I can be with you, if it means we can be together, then I'm doing it." Santana said. Trevor watched the exchange. He hated seeing Rachel upset and he didn't really want to have to let Santana go.
"San, I'm not going to let you quit." Trevor said. Santana looked over at him.
"I'm sorry?" Santana asked, confused.
"You're one of our best waitresses and I can see how much you love working here, even if we aren't Breadstix." Trevor said. Santana smiled. "And I can see how happy you make my niece. How about this. I'll remove the dating policy. For everyone. Just keep it on the down low around here and stay on top of your work. I am running a business and I'd like to stay in business." Trevor said. Rachel and Santana both nodded. "Good. Now get back to work. I'm not paying you two to hang around in here." Santana and Rachel smiled before going back to the main room and getting back to work. Trevor smiled as his office door closed.
"Well, Rae, it looks like we both get to keep our jobs. And you do know what that means, right?" Santana asked.
"What?" Rachel replied.
"It means that I get to see more of my favorite girl. I was almost worried, because summer is coming up and I won't be able to see you in school or in Glee rehersals." Santana said. Rachel smiled hugged Santana, who gladly returned the hug.
"I can't believe you were going to do that for me." Rachel said.
"I'd do anything for you, Rachel." Santana said. Rachel smiled. "Aw crap. We've been together two weeks and you're already turning me soft." Santana said. Rachel grinned.
"Don't worry. You're still my badass." Rachel said. Santana smiled.
"Hmmm... you know, I kind of like the sound of that." Santana said.
"Oh really?" Rachel asked. Santana smirked.
"Mmhmm." she said before kissing Rachel.
"So do I." Rachel whispered.
"Awesome." Santana whispered back. She and Rachel stared at each other with stupid grins. "Come on. Let's get back to work." Santana said. Rachel nodded.
