Steppin Out On Love ch. 28

Sam seems like a nice guy although a bit of a dork but overall a nice guy and maybe in another life, I would've considered dating him but I in no way would date him, not now not ever. I wish that he would take a hint that nothing is going to happen between us especially with him following me around like a lovesick puppy that I cant get rid of no matter how many times that I wasn't interested or that I'm in a relationship. Gah, are all guys incredibly thickheaded or dense?! Do they only hear what they wanna hear? Sam's a nice guy but he's barking up the wrong tree. I don't know how clearer could I be when I told him that I didn't want to date him and that I'm in a relationship. I was heading to my locker so I could grab my physics textbook when I hear someone call out to me and I instantly place the voice to a certain country bumpkin that find a clue if it was stare him dead in the face.

I let out a low groan but I didn't stop my stride but instead pick up the pace unfortunately he keeps calling my name and it wasn't long before he catches up with me, smiling at me with a wide grin as he asks me where I was heading. I wasn't in the mood to force myself to go through small talk with fish lips so I ignore the football player in hopes that he would pick up on that I didn't want to talk but sadly, he doesn't pick up on my mood or silence. With the lovesick puppy in tow, I grab my textbook while switching a book that I was reading for another book when it was taken out of my hand by Sam who looks at the title before going into detail about reading something similar. God must have seen my plight, taking mercy on me when he sent Mike telling me that we have to talk to Mr. Kardinal about a 'project' that we were doing together and before jock get another word it, the dancer drags him in the direction of our shared physics class.

Thank God for Mike because I don't know how much more of Sam's stories that I could take before I stuffed something in his mouth so he would shut the fuck up if I wasn't afraid that he would somehow manage to swallow it. His lips to face ratio is completely off. Oh god, I'm starting to sound like Santana… I guess that she would be proud with that comment. I thank Mike for his help in getting away from Sam as he smile, patting me on the shoulder as we walk towards physics when he notices the book still in my hand before looking at the title with a curious look. I explain to him that it's about a girl who's from a small village in a large kingdom where there's an evil ruler who then finds out that she has magical powers that was prophesized lead the kingdom into the light.

The dancer looks amazed by description of the book then asks me more about it as we walk into class talking … with me mostly doing the talking but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it as Mr. Kardinal had to hush us a few times so he could lecture. I think that that this is the most that we talk since we started going to McKinley and I kinda feel bad about that cause we share the same friend group as well as spend a lot of time together in Glee club.

"I'm sorry, Mike"

"Huh? Why are you sorry?" Mike asked confused.

"Because I'm just now realizing that this is the first time that we actually had in the first full conversation since entering high school" I said shaking my head. "I haven't the best track record when it comes to being a good friend but I want to change that if you're up for it"

"It's true that this is the first time that we talk this much but that doesn't make you a bad but I would like to keep talking with you… if you agree to help me at the community center with my modern dance classes" Mike said smiling.

"You got yourself a deal" I said smiling.

There's quite a few people in Glee club that I know nothing about after joining and it feels a bad taste in my mouth since they've been there for me even if they didn't know it. Maybe this is the time to get closer to them. There's anyone or anything stopping from getting to know them and they know that I'm not Coach Sylvester's spy. For once nothing is stopping me from finally being happy and I have people in my life that care me, the real me. Now I just have to put in the effort. I found out that Mike is pretty easy to talk to and pretty easy going guy that he was there to run intervene when Sam would try to start up a conversation with me and Matt is a pretty shy guy. Turns out that he has plenty of things to say once you get him going and he's perceptive as he knew that Santana, Rachel and I were in a relationship before the rest of Glee club found out but the both of them promise to keep the secret to themselves.

It's already difficult enough to being in a sex same relationship in a small town like Lima and I don't wanna think what would happen if anyone finds out about our polygamous relationship. I don't want to hide our love but we might have to keep it a secret until we can get as far away from Lima as possible where no one would even an eye in our direction, unfortunately it's not to be overly affectionate with each other in the open. I'm glad that I have the guy's support cause it means a lot to me as I was on my way to the football field when Becky tells me that Coach Sylvester wants to see me before practice, I roll my eyes because I assume that this meeting is about the baby Cheerios. When I arrive at Coach's office, not only found her sitting in her desk but there's an woman with long brown hair and brown eyes as the similarities her and my girlfriend as she's holding a blonde boy around the age of two or three.

It was long before my Latin girlfriend walks in and she stops dead in her track when she sees the woman as I could see the wheels turning in her head but we're both floored when Coach tells us that this woman, Shelby Corcoran is our tiny diva's mother. I didn't know what to say in this moment because the petite singer hadn't met her mother, often wondering what kind of person she was and what would she do if she ever gets to meet her in person. I know that Rachel wants a relationship with her mother more than anything in the world as this Shelby woman has the power to break our girl heart's so we have to make sure that we're there for her no matter what happens, good or bad. Shelby came back from New York in hopes that she build a relationship with her eldest child and have her met her adoptive brother Benjamin as she's hoping to get some insight from some of her daughter's friends.

"Wouldn't it be easier to talk to her fathers? You know, the people that raised her since birth" Santana said raising an eyebrow. "Do they even know that you're here?"

"No, they don't but they will soon" Shelby said with a nod then smiles softly. "It's nice to see that Rachel has good friends looking out for her"

"Naturally but it's only normal to be protective over someone that you're in a relationship with" I said shrugging my shoulders causally.

Shelby's eyes widen for a fraction of a second before sculpting her expression then nods as she walks out of the office leaving me to wonder if it was a good idea telling her that we're in a romantic relationship with her daughter. I don't have a good feeling about the sudden arrival of our tiny diva's birth mother and what effects it's may have on her emotional state as this has been the happiest that I've seen the petite singer since I've known as I don't want anything to ruin that for her. She's been through too much as it and I want to protect her from anything that may be harmful to her and her happiness. I hope that Shelby's being genuine when she says that she wants to get know Rachel because if she's not and makes our girl cry, she has another thing coming.

"I don't like that chick and she could be bad news" Santana said frowning. "And what the hell were you thinking when you told her that we're in a relationship. I thought that we were keeping that under wraps until we get outta this hell hole"

"I don't like her much and I know, I wasn't thinking but I think that the best course of action for is to keep a close eye on Ms. Corcoran for now" I said crossing my arms. "We don't want to jump to any premature conclusions and the best that we can do for the moment is getting intel on the enemy"

"I think that I can help you with that" Coach Sylvester chimes in. "Recon and gathering intel is what I do best"

"Why would do that for us? For Rachel?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "I thought that you didn't her"

"Lets just say that I owe Streisand and she's one of the few person that was able to put me in my place. I'll get any and everything on Shelby Corcoran in case she backs out on her word"

"Thank you Coach" Santana said with a slight nod.

"Don't thank me just yet, Sandbags but get outta here before I start getting a rash from all this mush" Coach Sylvester said waving us off.

"Wonder what information Coach'll get on Ms. Corcoran" Santana said curious. "It's weird having her on our side for once"

"I'm wondering what happened between her and Rachel that made her change like that"

"Oh come on, you know that Estrella has always been a unpredictable spitfire especially after what she did to you in the Cheerio's locker-room last week" Santana said smirking.

I feel my face heating up all the way to the tips of my ears thinking about what happened in the locker-room after popping a boner in the middle of history class and asking to go to the bathroom to rub one out. I wasn't expecting Rachel to follow me there and um lending a hand with my problem as I never came so quickly in my life as my tiny diva is quick to learn what I like and what I didn't like. I swear that this girl is going to be the death of me.
