Thanks a lot for your reviews! It keeps me going. I hope you enjoy this chapter :)
When Lea landed in LAX that Sunday morning, she took her phone out of her purse and texted Dianna.
Get over here already! I miss you :)
She got to the closest screen to find their gate number when her phone vibrated in her hand.
I'm on my way :)
She shivered. Those were the exact same words the blonde had used to reply to her while filming the scene of the car crash, and even if they were only acting she couldn't help but go back to the moment when she finally watched the end of the episode. It had hit close to home and she damned the editors for making it seem so real.
She still remembers calling Dianna right after; having the need to hear her voice and know that she was alright. She obviously was, but she couldn't help but overreact and tell her not to touch her phone whenever she was driving because Lea was too young to die out of depression if something ever happened to her. The blonde only laughed and told her not to worry so much.
But she had her reasons to overreact, though. She just couldn't imagine her life without Dianna and just the thought of losing her in any way made her eyes sting with unshed tears.
Damn her dramatics.
Her phone vibrated again and she checked a new message.
Don't worry milady. Nay is the one who's driving. I'm not willing to leave my car for 3 months in the airport ;)
And damn Dianna for knowing her so well.
Because she really did know her. She would compliment her the most when she couldn't voice her self-consciousness and would calmly get her feet back on the ground whenever she needed it. Dianna was her safe place, and her company soon became an addiction that she would never willingly give up.
Say hi! Be safe and see you soon. Love you.
Nay says HOLA! :) love you more
She grinned at that. God, she loved Dianna. The sweet, loving and caring Dianna. Every single damn thing about that woman screamed perfection, and that scared her.
What if she wasn't enough? Or what if she wasn't even interested in dating women?
Psht. No. Who was she kidding. That girl was as open as her when it came to that. But maybe they were too close to become something more. Maybe they already were in the 'best friends that don't work in a relationship' zone.
Of course, Lea knew that the only way to find out was by telling her. And dammit if that didn't scare her even more.
Rejection.
The thought made her heart clench. It hurt to think that even if she were to be rejected she would have to live by pretending she was fine, because there was no way she would be able to walk away from Dianna. She would rather have a friend than nothing at all.
Meanwhile, Dianna was having a similar problem.
"You do know that this trip is like, the perfect opportunity, right?"
"I know. I've actually been thinking about ways of telling her." Dianna said from the passenger seat.
"For real?" Naya asked. Well, that was a good start…
"Not really."
The brunette fought the urge to punch her in the arm; instead, she rolled her eyes. "You're never this stubborn, Dianna. I'm pretty sure that if you tell her, and if she doesn't feel the same way about you, she would never let your friendship get on the way."
"Well, it does sound like something she would do."
"Of course it does. Dammit. It seems as if you didn't know her at all."
It was Dianna's turn to roll her eyes. "I do know her. I just don't want things to get awkward between us."
Naya sighed. "I'll tell you what. You'll get on that plane and flight your pretty asses to Cancun. Let things flow between you. Maybe flirt a little, you know. Take risks, Di. She may surprise you." She winked at the blonde before letting her words sink into her friend's mind.
After a few minutes they parked near the entrance of the airport.
When they stopped at the check-in line Dianna turned to her friend and hugged her. "Thank you, Nay" She whispered.
Naya squeezed her waist a little tighter. "Always welcome, Lady." She pulled out of the embrace and looked at the blonde seriously. "Call me if you need anything, okay? And please do something about this."
Dianna chuckled. "I'll try." With that she took a few steps backwards, blew out a kiss and smiled. "I'll see you in three months!"
She turned around and Naya's laughter filled her ears.
Dianna felt a little lighter after her conversation with Naya. Maybe she could do as she told her and flirt a little. It wouldn't hurt and she would be able to see how Lea reacted towards it.
A smile crept up her face when she reached their gate and found Lea waiting for her. The brunette felt eyes on her and turned around to find a grinning Dianna walking towards her. She immediately sprung out of her seat, catching the blonde off guard when she threw her arms around her neck. Dianna's arms automatically went around the shorter girl's waist and held her tight.
She missed it. Even if it had only been a week, she wanted nothing more than to hold her and never let go. The scent of vanilla and what was uniquely Lea invaded her and she felt herself get lost in it.
The same happened with the brunette. She inhaled Dianna's fruity scent and snuggled deeper into her neck. She felt blonde locks tickle her cheek and giggled at the sensation.
Both girls had the same thought going on in their heads. They fit perfectly together and there was also nothing better in life than to be in each other's arms.
It soon became too much for Dianna as she pulled out of the embrace. When she met dark brown orbs she grinned again, took the brunette's hands into her own and said, "I missed you."
Lea's smile lightened up the whole place. "I missed you too."
"C'mon," Dianna said, grabbing the purse that had fallen when she caught the brunette but still holding one of her hands. "We can't miss that flight."
Three and a half hours later they found themselves getting off the plane and walking towards the baggage claim.
It already felt new. The sensation of being in a country they've never been in before and the nerves of what could happen once they stepped out of this place. It felt good, though.
It took them half an hour to get their luggage and rent a car.
"I didn't know you could speak Spanish." Lea said when they were following the guy outside to show them their car. The humid breeze hit them full force and they could smell the ocean even from afar.
Dianna looked down at the brunette through her sun glasses with a small smile. "I'm no expert, but I can defend myself. I only learned a few things when I was younger."
Lea grinned at her. Not at the blonde's explanation but just because she could. They were finally here; together, in a beautiful place, and about to enjoy two full weeks of rest under a delicious sun. It was amazing.
She threw her arms up before sneaking one of them around Dianna's waist. "We're in Mexico, siñores!"
Dianna let out a belly laugh, drawing the attention of a few strangers. When she finally stopped she threw her arm around Lea's shoulders and let out a content sigh. She was happy and couldn't help but be thrilled about what the next three months could bring.
She drove them to the hotel after stopping twice to ask for directions.
"Really, Dianna? The way from the airport to the hotel is almost completely straight, how could you have gotten lost twice?"
The hotel wasn't in Cancun, but in the Mayan Riviera. It was about 20 minutes from the city but it didn't matter because the place itself was beautiful. They were just entering the parking lot which was surrounded by so many palm trees that they could barely see the main entrance.
"In my defense the whole road seems exactly the same! All I could see were palm trees, so excuse me for thinking we were somehow driving in circles."
Lea couldn't help but laugh. "That's dumb." She said and got out of the car.
"Shut up." Dianna teased, following close.
Once the girls checked in they left the lobby and made their way to their suite.
"Is it possible for someone to love a place without even a day gone by?" Dianna asked looking around their room.
Lea chuckled. "Of course it is." She continued wandering around until she stopped at the sliding window to look at the turquoise-colored sea. Their suite had an easy access to the beach, which was exactly why she chose it in the first place. "Tell me again why we didn't do this any sooner?"
Dianna laughed and began to take her shoes off. She sat on the bed and immediately lay down. Breathing a heavy sigh she replied, "Don't know." She was too damn comfortable to move anytime soon. From her spot on the bed she didn't notice that Lea had already slid the window open. "What do you want to―"
"Beach!" The brunette yelled while taking her shirt off, revealing a dark blue top. She didn't wait for a response and ran towards the water.
The blonde stood up and stopped by the window. "Were you seriously wearing your bikini already!" She yelled back disbelievingly and amused.
She couldn't hear Lea's answer because she was already too far away and her voice was muffled by the sound of crashing waves. She shook her head with a huge smile plastered in her face and did nothing but run to get her own bikini out.
Doubts and fears went straight to the back of their minds. It just didn't matter right now.
Their first day and it was already too good to be true.
Let me know what you think!:) I wasn't planning on writing anything about the 'on my way' thing, I just wrote the text and then remembered that those were the actual words she used in Glee... then, I remembered Dianna saying in an interview how her mom had called her after she had watched the episode because it seemed too real, so here's what I think Lea would've thought :) Now, next chapter will be completely Achele interaction in Mex.
Thanksss!
