Santana Lopez imagines

it's time to come home part III

Saturday night.

The day you had been both so excited for and dreading had finally arrived. You would finally be seeing her.

Since you were going with Rachel and Quinn, you had to be there early with them to set up even though you had no actual intention of helping them set up. By the time you had gotten dressed and ready it was only 5:30pm and your friends would be arriving at 7.

Still wanting to repay to girls with small acts of kindness for letting you stay in their home, you drove the three of you to the oh so familiar school and out of habit parked in yours, Santana's, Quinn's and Britt's usual parking spot. This put a small smirk on Quinn's lips as she looked over to you.

As much as you pretended you wanted to help Quinn and Berry set up, your nerves had began to set in already so you made your way over to the bar, thanking yourself in your head for cancelling the shitty bar arrangement Rachel had made for an open bar that you payed in full for.

Time soon flew by after you'd gotten a couple of drinks down you and your old friends and some teachers started flooding in. The small reunions made your heart happy. You'd missed home so much.

Once Britt had arrived she made her way over to you, able to recognise you from a mile off and before you had any time to react the girl practically jumped on your back completely disregarding the narrow heels that were holding you up. Her eyes teared up a little 'I missed you! So did Lord Tubbington!'

Your eyes shot over to Quinn almost telepathically asking how the fuck that can was still alive after all this time, remembering when Britt had got him in middle school

'We need to take a group photo' Britt exclaimed excitedly.

'Without me?' it was the voice you had waited ten years to hear. Raspier than it was before. You took a deep breath before turning around praying to every god that she didn't bring the new girl with her.

There she was in all her glory. The devil in a red dress, it was nice to see that was still her signature style and not everything had changed after all this time.

'San! where's your girlfriend?' Britt asked before Q swiped at her side to quiet her, not wanting to upset you.

'I, uhhh heard from trouty mouth that there was a surprise visitor tonight and there was only one person that it could've been so i broke things off with her. It's not like it was serious.'

Your head went down and your eyes were almost glued to the floor.

'Hey Britt, Rach is calling us'

'I can't hear he-' Q dragged her off by her arm obviously just wanting to leave the conversation so the two of us could talk.

You both let out a giggle

'Well i'm glad i haven't heard the hobbit's voice yet, haven't missed that one. But there is one voice that i have missed, you gonna talk to me or you gonna stand there and stare at the floor all night?'

Your eyes met hers for the first time in ten years 'God, i missed you so fucking bad'

'Ahhh, she speaks, you'd think the big shot lawyer would be first to speak in a situation like this' You rolled your eyes playfully at the taller girl hitting her shoulder before grabbing her hand.

You don't know what had come over you but you dragged her to the choir room, your favourite place to ditch classes her your at the time girlfriend.

'San, i'm sorr-'

She cut you off by putting her lips on yours, tears fell from your face. 'Don't be sorry. You did what you had to. How long are you home for?'

her hands cupped your face and wiped the tears that had fallen off. 'I'm home for good. I belong here. I've been house hunting all week and staying with Q and Berry'

Her face visibly lit up upon hearing those words. 'I just sold my apartment and was hoping to be back home within the next month too'

It sounded too good to be true. You were both coming back home. But that didn't fix everything that you had done to your relationship.

'Listen San, i need you to hear me out and let me apologi-' she once again cut you off not letting you continue your sentence

'Stop trying to apologise. I forgave you before you even left. I knew we would find our way back together and by the looks of both of our timing to come back home. It seems as though it might be fate. I love you, it's always going to be you, i don't want anyone else, it's never been anyone else and it's never going to be anyone else. It's only you my love'

Tears once again started to fall from your face. 'I love you too'

It was your turn to close the gap between the two of you this time.

After you had a moment san spoke up 'Listen, I don't know how fast or slow you wanna take things with us but i need to tell you that that dress is the sexiest thing i've ever seen on you.'

For a second time that night you had playfully hit her right shoulder. The right one as always, just like old time.

'Also, how the fuck did dwarf manage to get an open bar? Wanna go abuse it more than you already have from what i can taste on your lips?'

You giggled at the girls drinking habits still being very much so present 'I was nervous to see you, okay! Well i was the one that cancelled Berry's shitty bar without telling her and payed for the open bar so fuck yeah i'm gonna make the most of it.'

'Oh my god, it was going to be a repeat of that party she threw in high school with the drink tokens wasn't it?'

'You know i wouldn't let that happen on my watch again babe'

The two of you walked back in and headed over to the bar. The two of you got sloppier and sloppier every hour as you both continually drank and began to catch up with the love of your life and the rest of your friends. It felt so good to be home.

As the night came to an end, you, Santana, Quinn and Rachel had all made it back to the Faberry household and to say that the two homeowners regretted letting you stay there that night was an understatement.

You and Santana did a LOT of catching up and by the time you'd crashed out and gone to sleep it was coming close to 5am.

As you made it downstairs the next day, Quinn and Rachel were cuddled up on the sofa watching a movie. 'Before you say it, i'm sorry about the noise last night'

Rachel almost looked traumatised, you hadn't even noticed Santana appearing behind you slapping your ass making you jump and smile.

'Sorry Berry, we'll be out of your hair as soon as tomorrow as long as things go well with that house Y/N wants tomorrow' Quinn was next to speak up 'Please for the love of god burn those sheets when you two leave, please'

The two of you giggled like teenagers before grabbed some food and returning to your temporary room where you'd cuddle and watch movies, just like old times.

Being back with Santana. It was like no time had passed. Like nothing had changed. It was like your like your lives were a movie that had been put on pause when you had broken up and someone had just pressed play again.

~~~~~~~~~~

After that day, you and Santana had fully moved in together that month. You were both settled into your new jobs and happier than ever. By the end of the year, you'd be engaged, planning to be married by the next and already considered extending your family.

it was a dream come true.
