Santana's POV (always will be if not stated otherwise).
It was the summer of 2011, the last before senior year. That summer my parents had decided to take me and my sister Rachel to Schuster's holiday resort- they knew the owners somehow. The holiday was my moms idea, I'd begged her not to make me go saying that I wanted to spend summer with my friends, but she wouldn't have it, 'Mija,' she'd said 'we might not have a chance to do this as a family again, you and Rach will be searching for colleges next year and then you'll be in college'. Another day's sulk and a bribe of a new car from my father and here I was, sitting in the back of our car listening to Rachel rant about how much fun the next three weeks were going to be.
When the car pulled up in front of the mansion my jaw dropped. The mansion was huge, there was a lake to the left along with magnificent gardens, a golf course, tennis courts, various sports set ups, and a gazebo and what appeared to be a dance studio further away from the main house. There were also various cabins spread out around the resort. My evaluation of the place was interrupted by the annoying whine of my twin sister.
"Dios mío! Mami look, I should have brought that extra sheet music, you said I was packing too much." She said as she pointed to a sign that read Open-mic: Every Thursday Night.
"Well Cariño, you did bring five folders with you" my mother told her.
"But those would have been perfect for an open-mic night"
"This is not a disaster; a disaster is a war, poverty, car crashes-"
"Don't forget earthquakes and volcanoes Papi" I added to my Fathers' list- we knew how to annoy Rachel.
"Butt out San" Rachel snapped Rachel.
"Doctor Lopez!" shouted a voice from behind me.
"Will Schuster, how are you?"
"I'm very well thank you, glad you could finally make it up to my lake"
"Will, this is his first Holiday in six years- think of how I feel" my mom said to the curly, haired man.
"Maria, you haven't changed a bit in the last twenty years"
"Will, these are my daughters, Rachel and Santana" my father introduced us.
We shook the man's hand and I noticed a boy around my age standing beside him.
"Nice to finally meet you girls- me and your old dad here go way back" he said before adding Kurt, grab Mr. Lopez's bags. I've kept the best cabin for you and your family Tomas. . . I zoned out of the conversation and went to help the guy- Kurt- un- loading our bags.
"Geez thanks, you want a job here?" he smiled at me and I smiled back. I suggested helping Kurt bring the bags to our cabin while my parents spoke to Will and Rachel went to find out more about the open mic night.
"So, what do kids do around here for fun" I asked as we neared the cabin.
"Well, friends of mine do awesome dance lessons, and then theirs the final show at the end of the month- you're here for three weeks right? I nodded "you'll be here for that then- I sing at that every year… Kurt and I talked for the following half an hour until my parents came back saying something about us doing dance lessons Will told them about; and Kurt had to go back to work.
We'd been there an hour and my parents were already forcing me to do stupid family activities- like dance lessons!
"Hey guys, my names Tina and this is Kurt, we'll be your dance instructors today as Quinn is unfortunately away today. We are going to start with a simple dance so everybody follow us, Ready- 1, 2, 3, 4 "
I was glad to see Kurt again- I'd grown to like him when we were talking earlier that day, I learned that he and his boyfriend decided to come there for the summer and his step-brother helped them get jobs. Blaine (his boyfriend) sang in the main house on Wednesdays and they both did the open mic on Thursdays.
I wasn't enjoying myself at all though- as we stood in a line trying to learn the basic steps I kept standing on the feet of Rachel and some old guy on my other side. I kept catching Kurt's eye and scowling as he was laughing at me. Just as I was starting to get a hang on the steps, Tina announced that we had to break into partners- Kurt went straight over to me and started dancing.
"Ugh, this is so embarrassing. Shouldn't you be dancing with Tina?"
"Nah- you looked like you needed an experienced partner, you know, so you can actually get some steps right"
"Watch it- I'm not that bad"
"Ye and I'm not Gay"
"Whatever, so is there anything interesting on tonight?"
"Well its Monday- that means games in the hall and dancing in the main house"
"They both sound so interesting" I said with an eye roll, what the hell am I going to do tonight, I thought. "What are you up to tonight?"
"Working"
"Damn, guess I'm stuck with the parents and man-hands" He gave me a confused look.
"My sister" I clarified.
Kurt and I continued to dance and by the end of the hour I'd actually got good. As we made our way back to the cabin I decided I'd take a little tour around the grounds before dinner, although I wanted to change into comfier clothes first.
"So today was fun" Rachel said as we went back to our room before diner that night.
"Ye, Kurt's really nice, I think I'll ask him when his next day off is"
"Ye" was Rachel's short reply as she started to flick through sheet music, probably looking for something to sing Thursday night.
I got changed into my favourite pair of skinny jeans and a tank top and decided to go for my tour of the grounds.
"Mami, Papi, I'm going up to the main house to have a look around" I shouted to my parents as I went to leave the cabin.
As I got closer to the dining room I could hear Mr. Schuster's voice.
"There are two kinds of help here. You waiters are all collage guys and I went to Harvard and Yale to hire you. And why did I do that?" I heard him as I neared the big room. The door was open so I quietly stood by it and watched as Will continued to speak to all the waiters.
"I shouldn't have to remind you that this is a family place. That means you keep your fingers out of the water and show the damn daughters a good time. All the daughters- even the dogs. Bring 'em out to the terrace, show 'em the stars, romance them any way you want" I was shocked, I waited to hear more but Will was interrupted by a female voice.
"You got that guys" I heard her say before I saw her with a group of people behind her- each looked like they were dancers. The girl who had spoken seemed to have sweat on her forehead as if she'd done a lot of exercise. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she walked across the room- her long white legs, toned abs, sleek arms, her blonde locks and her beautiful blue eyes.
"Hey hold it" Will shouted towards them, "Well if it isn't the entertainment staff. Listen, you've got your own rules. Dance with the sons and daughters, the husbands and wifes, whatever, I don't care- teach them to waltz, cha-cha, anything- but that's it, that's where it end. No funny business. No conversations and keep your hands off!" with that Will left the dining room.
"So you think you got that straight Brittany, what you can and can't lay your hands on" said a curly haired waiter.
The blonde walked over to him and smirked, "You just put your pickle on everybody's plate collage boy and leave the hard stuff to me", and knocked over some glasses on the table he'd been setting up and walked away. I went back to my room then to get ready for diner.
After going back to the cabin and waiting for my family to finish getting ready, we met up with Will at diner; he was standing at the entrance to the room with the curly haired waiter from earlier.
"Tomas, Maria, Rachel, Santana, this is your waiter Jessie St. James, New Haven law student. Jessie, these are my special guests, I want you to get them whatever they want. Enjoy"
"Thanks Will" And with that we began diner.
"Oh, dios mio, look at all this left over food. Aare they still starving people in China?"
"Try South East Asia Mami" I told my mother.
"Jessie, San wants to send her leftovers to South East Asia, can you do something about that?" my father told our waiter, as he cleared the table and Will walked over. Geez, doesn't that guy ever leave his guests alone?
"Will, our Santana's gonna save the world" my father told the resort owner.
"And what are you gonna do Rachel?" Will asked.
"Oh, Rach is gonna decorate it" I replied instantly, earning a scowl from both my mother and sister.
"She already does" Jessie said as he picked up my fathers plate and walked away. Rach smiled at this.
"Doc I'd like you to meet someone, my nephew, Dave Karofsky, he's starting Yale in the fall"
"Oh, Santana's hoping to study medicine there after senior year"
"Oh great" stated Dave. Oh god- this better not be another one of my fathers setups for me- since I've never broughthome any boyfriends my father has been trying to get me one, little does he know I never bring boys home because I don't like boys. I came out to my mother a few months ago, but I had yet to pluck up the courage to tell my father.
"Listen, there's dancing in the main hall tonight, let Dave show you there and have some fun" suggested Will.
"Oh please Papi" Rachel squeaked.
"Of course Mija, how about you Hijo?"
"I guess" I answered. I was hoping to see Kurt there and ask him about his day off, I was also kind of hoping I'd see that Brittany girl there, something about here just made me want to see her again.
