One, two, three, four...once again... One, two, three, four... Ugh, once again... one, two, three, four.
The beat was loud in my head, I knew the steps but I didn't know why my whole body was tense, I needed to relax. One of the advantages of not having bed was that I had my own dance studio in my ''room'' so I had a huge amount of space to do all I wanted. I looked at my mobile phone. In two hours we had to be ready. At least, the contest was going to be here, in Lima, so we played at home.
I needed to be ready by the time, so once again and I would give up. Come on Britt, everything was going to be fine.
-''One, two, three...''-My foot moved with every single number, accompained with my arms- ''...four,fi...''
-''Britt come on, you need to stop! I saw you, you do it great, you don't need to practise more!''
I practically jumped.
-''Shit! What are you doing in here?''- Apparently I needed to be my careful with the security of the house, because a beautiful latina just appeared in the middle of my room. I guessed it wasn't a problem, I wasn't going to complain about that, but what if instead of her, it was a thief or something?
-''Hey good morning to you too! Sorry...my fault, I practically seep in here but you left the door open, you should be more careful about that. I knocked but you didn't listen to me, so I decided to enter. I wanted to know how were you on your big day...''- She didn't need to give me any more explanation of why she was there, but she continued-'' aaaand...I got breakfast!''- She showed me the hand she hide behind her back, holding a bag.
I was still breathing fast and sweating for all the dance, but that didn't stop me to come near her, put my hand in her face and kiss her on the lips. God, if she only lost the fear of doing it in front of the people, it would be perfect
-''Good morning''-I finally said.
-''Now they are''- She left the room with her cheek a little bit blushed and walked to the kitchen.
-''So! Did you already freak out?''
-''No, well...not yet, I'm calm but I don't know''-Santana put two coffees on the table and also two waffles, after seing them, my stomach roared immediately.
-''Come on, no more worries, no more rehearsal. Go to the shower, I'll wait for you to have breakfast''
-''Oh don't you wanna come?''- I put my puppy face and she opened her eyes widely. Maybe she never thought I could be that cheeky.
-''Don't tempt me''- She said and I ran to catch some clothes and go to the shower as soon as possible, I was starving.
-''Are you going to tell me what Holly told you? Or I have to go to the club every single night to see if my girl is one of the stars?''- My girl...how weird sounded.
-''It was going to be a surprise buuuut...I'll start next week''-I shouted from the bathroom
-''Really? That's awesome!''
After my ''Timber''dancing, Holly told me that it was exactly what she was looking, ''something sensual but not sexual'' I didn't understand her by the way, but she also told me that she had to do more auditions and she would call me, and she did! And I owned everything to Santana.
I finished quickly, hungry didn't let me enjoy my shower so when I ended I ran to the kitchen. Waffles time yay!
-''Where did you meet her by the way? She's really nice!''- I said after ended my breakfast, so Santana had to think what was I talking about.
-''Oh!...Holly? Well, she came to high school as a substitute and took place of Schue in the glee club. I was really confused about all the Quinn stuff at that moment and she helped me a lot to show my feelings by singing. Then we just became friends!''
-''Cool''- I took the last ship of my coffee, mm...It had vanilla-'' How did you know?''- I pointed to my coffee.
-''I know you better than you think''-She showed me a proud and a shy smile-''And now let's go, we have some ass to quik!''
I'd never seen so many people in the aditorium. It was more than crowded. We were waiting in the choir room to get dressed and prepared. We were performing the last, so we had enough time. The hoosierdaddies would perform in just ten minutes and Vocal Adrenaline were next. Rachel tried to calm everybody saying that being the last performance was good, the judges will remember us better. I wasn't sure, but whatever. It wasn't time to freak out.
Berry looked really optimistic, even after her rage attack when Mr. Schue looked cool with the idea of her having only one solo and the only song being performed by Santana. She finally accepted, she said that if it was the best for the team, she will do it.
Mr. Schue appeared from the door with his usual smile, like fresh air. He clapped his hands and we all put ourselves in a circle in the middle of the room, Artie explain me that they always do that before every performance. Some people weren't in there, but we did it after all.
-''Well New Directions, today is the day. We'll face with Vocal Adrenaline, and we are going to do our best over there. I want you to enjoy, to have fun doing what you love, and everything is gonna be fine, promise. I trust on you!''-He put her hand in the middle of the circle and everybody put their one over one. Accidentally, mine was over Santana's who blushed at the touch and smile a little, but she hide it as soon as possible.
-''Go go go, team!''- He said, and everybody shouted ''Neeeew directions''
-''Where's Tina, by the way?''- Mr Schue asked. Tina was in charge of the dresses. After a really quickly vote, everybody choose what to wear. We had to dress the same, so girls would wear a pink dress and boys lightly blue suits. But Tina was late, and it didn't help at all.
-''She had a problem at home, she's coming, she'll be here in ten minutes''
-''Okay, everybody calm, just wait in here''
Schue left, and we could hear how the crowd clapped, the first group might have started. My phone vibrated on my trousers.
Under the stars. 5 minutes.
It was starting to be a tradition, one that I liked. I looked at Santana, she had her mobile phone in her hands and a half smile on her face.
When I came into the room, she was already in there. I arrived a little bit late because Kurt didn't let me go. He kept asking me stupid things about Blaine and his clothes. I had to tell him that Mercedes told me that in her opinion, Kurt wore really old fashioned clothes. I hope she would be fine about that.
She was sitting on a table, looking at the ceiling.
-''Are you okay?''-It wasn't normal for her to risk everything when someone could see us.
-''You're late''- She said getting off the table, walking next to me and closing the door at my back. I just gulped, the way she said that let me without breath.
-''Yeah sorry...Kurt didn't let me lea...''-She pushed me against the door and put her arms on my hips, I couldn't move. What the hell was she doing? Why was she acting like that? She came closer and I looked down to look her at the eyes. They looked really dark in that room. She breath next to my neck, and I could feel the warm air that come from her mouth. She softly approached my neck with her lips and kissed it.
-''San...Santana you can't...we''- But words didn't come out. My brain didn't work right anymore. All I could do was breath and feel how her lips moved through my neck. Sometimes a quiet moan came out of my mouth, when her tongue tour my collar bone. Shit, I didn't want to lose control and screw everything, but not for me, for her. I knew that she wouldn't be able to be treated as someone different at that moment. But she was doing things hard, and I wasn't that strong.
So when she went up and kissed me, I just let myself go and kissed her back. It couldn't be that wrong if it felt so good. Her lips tasted like strawberries, I wondered how tasted mines. She moved quickly her hands from my hips to my face and she also moved her head to a side, and let me kissed her harder. She moaned when I bit her lips and put my hand on her back under her t-shirt and chuckled when I moved and put her against a table, where she let her back rest and I put myself over her, she smiled when I did to her what she did me at first. I was totally attracted to her neck and I couldn't stop of kissing it. I would love to make her a hickey, but it would be too much, she would freak out at the end.
We were too busy to realize that someone opened the door. We stood up we heard ''Britt, Why did you leave, Tina is he...'' He didn't end the sentence. Kurt opened his eyes wide open when he saw us and suddenly left after a ''sorry''. Shit, I looked at Santana and she had her mouth open, but no words came out of her mouth. We screw everything. She left the room without saying anything and a little bit pale. I had to talk to Kurt, he had to understood it. Shit.
We dressed up in silence, without looking at each other. Kurt didn't talk to me anymore, he looked traumatized, and Santana too. I was extremly nervous after all that stuff and I couldn't focus on the dance at that moment. Vocal Adrenaline ended their performance of ''Counting Stars'', and public went crazy. They were amazing what didn't help at all. But show must go on, and we had to do things right so I forgot about anything after hearing our names on the stage. It was our moment.
Lights go off, and silence was the biggest protagonist for a couple of seconds, just until music started and a big light spot appeared over Santana, breathtaking with her pink dress and a purple diadem on her head. She was in the middle of the stage just a few steps in front of me and mike, but people couldn't see us, and she kept her head down until she had to sign. Her voice sounded clear and warm just as always.
High dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
Mike and I started dancing as soon as Santana started to sing, a clear light invaded the back of the stage where we were, doing a lyric dance, something soft, according to the part of the song.
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
We went to the front of the stage to dance, and Santana moved to a side, singing while she was looking at me, now I felt that the song has a double meaning.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
She reached perfectly the notes, it wasn't easy at all, I wouldn't do it, but it was so simple to her, she looked really comfortable on the stage, and so do I, but doing what I like to do most. We forgot my fears and jumped over Mike, with the rhythm of the song. Beats were the main part of the chorus so we only had to coordinate to make some foot and hand moves. It was simple, but very striking. Meanwhile, the whole glee club were at the back of the stage doing the choirs of the song. Well, not everyone, Rachel wasn't because she said that she accepted not doing two solos, but she wouldn't do the choirs. So she would star next song from the back of the auditorium.
Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you
While she sang, she moved trough one side to another of the stage, letting her dress go to a side and another with every move. She was quite distracting while Mike and I tried to do our best.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Now we decided to do some somersaults and acrobatics, to make it look like more difficult. Mr. Schue said that judges would love that.
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Santana reunited with both of us at the end of the song, as the whole glee club, doing a group dance, who causes us hours and hours of rehearsal, but it worth it. It was pretty cool.
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Last word sounded with echo and we ended as we started, in the dark. People stood up and clapped like crazies, I couldn't believe it. My breath was heavy, but I tried to recompose, because now we had to do Rachel's choirs. I could see a light spot at the back of the auditorium and a song starting. Rachel went down the stairs a little bit slowly while she sang. Don't Rain on my parade was one of her favorites songs, or at least was what she said, she looked really comfortable singing it, it looked like she had been singing it since two years old, it wasn't easy at all reaching that high notes. But she did without effort. At the end, we all had to accept that Rachel Berry had a huge talent. Santana looked still shocked when I looked at her. I guessed that everything was going to be different now. I could feel it. We must have stop before all this shit happened
My heart's a drummer
Nobody, no nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade
People clapped even harder, she was amazing. We all went to the front of the stage and made a reverence and then left the stage, really excited. We were going to win, we couldn't have done it better. But my mind was too bussy, I needed to find Kurt. I needed to talk to him.
A little bit late, but it wasn't so much wait. Hope you enjoy, and if you do... let me know :)
Nice week guys, Love xx
