Disclaimer: Dirty Dancing and Glee still aren't mine- but I wish they were.
The main hall was nicely decorated; it had colourful lights, a chandelier, and a stage with an old jazz band playing music for the dancers on the floor. From being here I've noticed that everything here was old style- especially the dancing and music.
Once inside Dave asked me to dancer and I accepted- my parents were already dancing and Rachel went over to Jessie. As I tried to dance with Dave- tried being the main word- I searched the room for Kurt but couldn't see him anywhere. Dave kept smirking at me and I started to fell uncomfortable.
"You going to major in English?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"No, I'm doing medicine, I want to become a doctor- like my dad" I shouted over the load music.
"Impressive" he replied, sounding shocked. I felt enraged by this, who did he think he was? An awkward silence resumed until two couples walked onto the dance floor- I recognised the blonde from earlier, Brittany, with an Asian guy and another blonde girl was with a guy with a Mohawk- as the music ended and a faster paced song began.
"Mambo, come on" Dave said grabbing my arm as I had started to walk away. We began to dance and I notice the two couples had started dancing too- the four of them were amazing dancers.
"Who are they?" I heard myself asking Dave.
"Oh them, they're the dance people. They're here to, uh, keep the guests happy"
We continued to watch the two couples around the dance floor, which was slowly clearing for them. I was memorized by Brittany's dancing- she was flawless. The way her body flowed was like magic- I could tell she loved it, that she was made to dance. Just as the two couples started some difficult looking dances moves Dave stopped dancing.
"They shouldn't be showing off with each other. That's not gonna sell lessons" his monotone voice remarked.
We continued to watch the two couples dance along with the rest of the crowd. I was mesmerized by Brittany and also felt shocked as I found myself attracted to her, I tried to convince myself that it was just the way she danced with the Asian guy but I knew that wasn't the real reason. As the song carried on Mr. Schuster came into the hall. The dancers saw him and he gave them a signal telling them to stop what they were doing immediately- and they did. The other blonde and the Asian guy both left the hall while Brittany and the Mohawk guy found new partners and began teaching them a dance.
Dave and I started dancing again and my parents came up to us.
"Hey kids, having fun?" asked my father.
"Yes, actually, I have to go help with the games tonight. You can come if you want" answered Dave, directing the last part to me.
"She'd love to" my father answered for me but I wasn't going to go.
"Actually Papi, me and Rachel made plans already" I lied, "I'd better go find her. Thanks for the offer though Dave" I smiled and walked away to find my sister, who I saw sitting at one of the tables staring at the dance floor.
"See anything you like?" I whispered from behind her.
She jumped not expecting anyone beside her. "God, San! You scared me!"
"Sorry How about we ditch this bore and go find some real fun?" I asked, a smirk forming on my face.
Rachel smirked back and we left the hall.
As we walked around the resort I spot a dirt track off to the right of the main house and away from the cabins. I started towards it but Rachel stopped me.
"Wait San- it says 'STAFF ONLY: NO GUESTS ALLOWED'; we shouldn't go up there"
"Who cares what the sign says man-hands, we might find Kurt this way"
"I really wish you wouldn't call me that" Rachel muttered as she followed me up the path.
As we rounded a corner I could hear loud music and then I saw a building with the lights on- it looked like the dance studio over by the main house.
"I wonder what's in there"
"I was just thinking the same thing"
As we continued walking we came across a small bridge leading to steps up to the studio. I saw a guy carrying boxes and sighed in relief when I realised who he was.
"Hi!" I shouted, running towards the boy, Rachel following after me.
"How'd you get here?" he asked as I took a box from him.
"Lovely to see you too Kurt" I replied sarcastically.
"Go back, no guests allowed. Hey why don't you go to the games hall, I saw you dancing with the little boss man" he teased and started humming some music and dancing with himself.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes at his remark and put the box back on top of the pile he was holding, "Come on Rach" I huffed and started to drag my sister away.
"Wait, wait" Kurt shouted and we turned around, "can you two keep a secret?" Rachel and I smiled at Kurt, took a box each and followed Kurt up the steps.
"I could get killed for this" the young man remarked as we came to some double doors.
Turning to face us, Kurt used his back to open the doors, causing the previous music to grow louder, and nearly dropped the box he was carrying. As we stepped inside I could tell that everyone there was a dancer or part of the 'entertainment staff' as Mr. Schuster had once called them. Every person in the room was paired off, dancing and grinding against each other to the music. Rachel and I followed Kurt over to a far corner where two boys were standing talking; stopping at a different table to put the boxes down.
"Can you imagine us dancing like this on the main floor, all the kids and older couple that come here; Will would kill us" Kurt told us as we neared the two boys who were now looking at us.
When we got to the table one of the boys, the one with curly hair, put his arm around Kurt and said, "Who are your new friends babe" this must be Blaine, the boyfriend Kurt told me about.
"This is Santana and her sister Rachel"
We all said our hellos- I as right about Blaine, the other guy who was tall and lanky was Finn, Kurt's step-brother who got Kurt the job that year. As we continued talking the blonde and Mohawk and blonde dancers from earlier ran in and greeted some people before starting to dance, the two seemed to be better dancers than most of the others. I also noticed the Asian guy from earlier dancing with the dance instructor Tina.
"That's Noah Puckerman and Quinn Fabray" Kurt told me when he noticed me looking at the couple dancing, "Puck got Finn the job here last summer"
"They look great together" Rachel remarked.
"Ye, you'd think they were a couple" Kurt said.
"Aren't they?" I asked.
"No, not anymore, but they're still really close" Finn told us.
"So, they're both single now?" Rachel asked.
"Ye, but they're both hard to get considering-" but Blaine was interrupted by his boyfriend.
"Hey Britt" Kurt smiled at the blonde beauty.
"What are they doing here" she asked pointing to my sister and me.
"They came with me"
"We helped him carry boxes" Rachel told her. I looked at my sister in disbelief, really, I thought.
Brittany ignored her though and looked us up and down before moving off to dance with some of the others.
"Well she's delightful" Rachel uttered, sarcasm clear in her voice.
"That's Brittany Pierce, our choreographer, she teaches some advanced dance classes here too" Kurt explained.
As Kurt, Rachel , Blaine and Finn continued talking I watched Brittany dance. She was definitely talented, the way her body moved in different angles as she grinded again the other dancers. Her movements seemed natural, like she was born to dance. I found myself swaying along to the music as Brittany danced her way closer and closer to where I was standing, once she got in front of me she beckoned me onto the dance floor with her right index finger. I shook my head no, there was no way I was going to dance like that with her. She wouldn't take no for an answer though and grabbed my hand and pouted- now the pout I couldn't resist.
Once we were in the crowd of dancers, Brittany began teaching me some moves, I was instantly feeling shy and nervous as she started grinding against me. My arms were wrapped around her neck while hers were around my waist. She brought us closer together as I started to do the moves she showed me properly. We were so close, I could smell her shampoo- it smelled like strawberries, it was so attracting. I started to relax after a few minutes and got into the dance. The music stopped and Brittany suddenly let go of me and walked away, I was left standing there, fluster and embarrassed as I noticed how attracted I was to the blonde dancer, hoping she hadn't noticed.
When I went back over to Rachel, Kurt and Blaine had started dancing and Finn was talking to my sister. I decided it was time to go back to our parents so Rachel and I said our goodbyes and left. I wanted to get out of there so fast that I didn't notice the piercing blue eyes watching me.
The next morning I couldn't stop thinking about Brittany and how much I enjoyed dancing with her, I also couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted to dance with her again, get to know her.
Whenhad breakfast my parents said they were heading for a walk together so Rachel and I went to sign up for the open-mic night.
"Oh San, I can't wait for Thursday night- it's going to be so much fun" Rachel said as we walked towards the gazebo where the sign up sheet was.
"I'm sure"
"Are you getting up?"
"No"
"Why not, you're a good singer, not as good as me but still"
"I said no Rach"
"San, is this because of-"
"Ask not what your waiter can do for you but what you can do for your waiter" Jessie, our waiter from last night interrupted by quoting in Rachel's ear, "you know if tips keep up I'll have enough for my Alfa Romea"
Rachel turned to look at him "That's my favourite car"
Ugh, I couldn't stand that Jessie kid- I'd no idea what Rachel saw in him. We were next in line and just as we got to the table I noticed Quinn was standing behind it. As Rachel wrote her name Brittany and Noah walked up to Quinn and whispered something to her.
"San, will you cover for me tonight? Tel Mami and Papi I went to lie down" my sister asked as she filled out the sign up sheet.
"Uh, where are you going" I asked her as I looked away from the dancers.
"The golf course, there's a pretty view from the first tee"
"Sure"
"Good thanks" Rachel finished the sheet and handed it to Quinn as the other two dancers walked away. I noticed we were the last people in line and Quinn was starting to pack everything away. I decided to talk to her.
"I think you're an amazing dancer"
"Yeah? Well, my mother kicked me out last year; I've been dancing ever since. It's one of the only things I've ever wanted to do anyway" she told me.
"I envy you" I told her, why I said that- don't ask me. She just laughed and walked away with all the sign-up sheets, I don't blame her for laughing like that, I would be bitter too if my parents kicked me out. I quickly followed after Rachel and we spent the day by the pool.
That night we went dancing again, only this time in the gazebo. I stand with my parents while Rachel is away on the golf course. I noticed Brittany and Noah come in earlier in the night and give what seemed to be a married couple some dance lessons. The man was dicing with Brittany was in a wheelchair so I didn't know why he was getting lessons. I was watching Brittany and the wheelchair guy dance when ill Shuster walked over to us
"Are you dancing Doc?" he asked my father.
"We're waiting for a waltz" my mother spoke for him.
"Ah" Will replied and looked out onto the dance floor in front of them, where
Brittany and Noah had moved to with their partners.
"Hey Will, aren't my dance lessons starting to pay off" laughed the man in the wheelchair.
"Don't mind Artie, Will, he's only taking them so he can learn not to roll on my feet" stated his wife. I noticed Noah and Brittany glancing at each other as Artie's hand started to get a bit friendly on Brittany's body.
"That's Artie Abram's and his wife Jenna, Artie is here all week for phsyo in town while his wife makes it down when she can," Will explained as the two couples started to dance away from us. "Artie has come to know our female staff very well, if you know what I mean, I feel bad for his wife though, she's no idea about it, nice woman"
Just then, Dave walked in and grabbed the attention of Brittany and Noah. I could hear their conversation perfectly.
"Where's Quinn, everybody's been asking for her" Dave asked Noah.
"What do you means, 'where's Quinn'" Noah asked.
"She's taking a break, she needs a break" Brittany sated, trying to keep Noah calm.
"As long as it's not an all night break" Dave told them and walked over to me. "Come on babe, lets take a walk" he said when he got over to me, ugh, god I don't like him. I nodded in reply and left a very pleased looking Will Shuster and my nervous parents.
"You hungry?" Dave asked as we walked away from the gazebo, I nodded.
As we came closer to the kitchen, I heard my sister's voice and footsteps.
"Jessie, I don't hear an apology" Rachel snapped.
"Go back to Mami and Papi Rachel, and listen. Maybe you'll hear one in you dreams" Jessie retorted.
"Sorry you had to see that San" Dave whispered.
"I knew he was an asshole" I told him, we then walked into the kitchen,
"So, Santana, what do you want? You can have anything" Dave said as he walked towards the fridge and opened it. "Lets see. Brownie, some milk, leftover rice pudding," Dave listed the foods as I looked around, it was then that I noticed someone else in the room, I could here them sobbing. I then realized it was Quinn in the corner crying, she looked up at me with pleading eyes, I knew I had to get Dave out of there.
"You know what Dave, I should go check on Rachel" I said as I turned back to Dave.
"Now?"
"Yeah" I told him and we left the kitchen.
As soon as Dave left me to go check on the Table Quiz I ran back to the gazebo, hoping Brittany and Noah were still there, they needed to know about Quinn.
You guys are lucky, two chapters in one night :D xx ok, so this story is gonna be a little slow at first, but I'm hoping it'll pick up soon
