Chapter 1- Dots
Brittany sat upon a tall stool with her legs dangling and bumping her converse covered toes onto the counter. Her long blonde hair free falling down her candy stripper outfit. Her stunning ocean eyes drooping. She was bored, as always.
"Who the hell comes to the cinemas at 2pm on a Tuesday? It's not even the holidays!" She sighed and blew the bangs out of the way of her pretty face.
"Um..?". A little voice, not really much above a squeak was omitting from below the eye level of the counter.
"Oh, hi sweetie!" Brittany swayed so her top half of her body was leaning over the counter. She took a look at the cute little tanned girl in a sun dress and showed her pearly whites to the girl.
"Um.. Hi! Can I have a pack of Dots please?" The girl spoke up louder; Her confidence boosted from the grin Brittany had given her. She slowly placed a $5 bill on the counter.
"Sure thing! I love Dots, too!" Brittany answered back a little too enthusiastically for her age while reaching under the counter for a packet of yummy gumdrops.
Brittany handed the Dots to the girl who had a gleam in her eyes and swiped the bill from the counter. She opened the cash register and was about to hand the little girl her change when she heard a RIPPP and what sounded like Dots falling and thunking on the floor. Brittany quickly ran around the counter and crouched down so she was eye level with the little girl who's eyes were swimming with tears.
"Aww, sweetie! Did you drop your Dots?" Brittany quickly checked the girls response. It was a slight nod and a sniffle. Her black her that was tied into a ponytail bobbing with her. Brittany scooped up the Dots and put them in a trash can. She returned to the counter grabbed the girls change and another packet of Dots. She quickly put the bills into her dress pocket.
"Here you go hun. But I'm going to walk you to your mummy so you don't drop these goodies again, kay?" Brittany said softly to the girl who nodded again but smiled and gladly took the candy.
Brittany turned to her co-worker and whispered "Hey, Quinny? Can you cover for me? This little sweetie dropped her candy so I'm going to personally deliver her back to her mum, kay?"
Quinn, a blonde like Brittany looked down to the little girl and smiled and sent a wink at her. She nodded at Brittany and went back to filling up popcorn buckets humming softly to herself.
The blonde took the little girls hand in her own and asked her where her mum was waiting. The little girl nodded towards a stunning Latina who looked about Brittany's age. She was busy talking on the phone with her back turned to the approaching two. Brittany didn't mean to but her eyes swept over the woman. Her legs exposed thanks to the mini shorts she was wearing and her tight fitting white tank that hugged her torso. She had big sunglasses perched on top of her head and her long, wavy dark locks fell well below her shoulders. Brittany had to blink a couple of times to bring her out of her daze.
"Hello? Um.. Hello?" Brittany was brought back down to Earth when the woman who was no longer on the phone was waving a hand in front of Brittany's face and had a confused look on her face.
"Oh! Um.. Hi! Sorry, your daughter dropped her Dots and she was upset so I thought that I'd give her another packet and just to make sure she didn't drop them, I'd deliver her back to you!" Brittany said this with a smile on her face that seemed to light up the entire building.
"Tay! Come on! You know that you have to wait to share the Dots with me when we're actually IN the movie!" The beautiful Latina huffed in a dramatic but playful manner at the little girl.
At this thought, Brittany's hope slowly faded. "This beauty has a DAUGHTER. Why would she be interested in me?"
"Sorry! But Aunty Tana! Guess what? This lady likes yummy Dots too!". The small girl who was still attached to Brittany's hand looked up to her face with a grin on her small lips.
"Yeah! Who doesn't? They're so rainbow and yummy!" Brittany stated earning a vigorous nod from the girl and a chuckle from the unnamed beauty.
"Don't know if you caught that but I'm not her mother, I'm actually her Aunt." The woman slowly looked into Brittany's eyes. Brown found blue and Brittany felt a rush charge through her body.
"Hmm? Oh, yes of course." Brittany blushed and looked down, smoothing out the creases in her candy dress.
"Yeah, today's fun day isn't it, Tay?" The woman smirked at Brittany's growing blush and looked down to the little girl who let go of Brittany's hand and hugged onto her Dots like a cuddly teddy bear.
"I'm Santana. This is my niece Taylie. She's my sister's kid. We like to come every Tuesday to see a movie or go shopping or bowling or ice skating or a fun park. Today.. What's the movie today, Tay?" Santana said this with a smile in Brittany's direction and she looked down to Taylie playfully who's brow was furrowed with concentration.
"Hmm.. Oh! It's the Lion King! It's in 3D now." Taylie exclaimed jumping up and down. She said the last part with a dash of seriousness and pride.
"I love that movie! Great taste, Tay!" Brittany's eyes shone with gleaming excitement. Santana just watched the two interact for a few seconds gushing about how they love Lion King with a grin playing on her lips.
A loud, scratch that. A REALLY loud whistle came from the direction of the candy bar. The 3 girls looked up and saw Quinn smirking but waving her arms in a frantic manner when she yelled "QUIT FLIRTING BRITTS! FIGGINS IS COMING BACK IN 5!"
Brittany, who had just recovered from her latest blush went even darker when Quinn mentioned flirting. She quickly turned back to Santana and Tay who was busy discreetly trying to open her Dots before the movie.
"Here's the change for the Dots." Brittany reached into her pocket and forked out a couple of bills and thrust them towards the bigger Latina.
"Wait, shouldn't I owe you more because she dropped the other pack?" Santana squinted in confusion whilst digging into her handbag no doubt looking for her wallet.
"Haha! I couldn't. Don't worry, It's on me. I love Dots too" Brittany said with a wink at the pretty brunette.
It was then Santana's turn to blush. She bit her bottom lip and whilst making sure Taylie was still busy still trying to open the candy, sent a wink straight back at Brittany who grinned.
"Anyway, It's time for me to get going unless you didn't hear my friend at the snack bar." Brittany said reluctantly while taking steps back.
"Okay. Tay, say bye to.. Wait!" Santana suddenly became aware that she didn't know the blonde's name. "What's your name?"
"It's Brittany. Bye Tay!" She said with a smile towards the little girl who ran up to her with her Dots still clutched in her tiny hand. She gave an awkward hug to Brittany's long and super toned legs which Santana secretly admired.
"Bye Brittany, and thanks for everything." Santana said while grabbing the candy from Taylie's fingers, ripping the top off and handing it back down to the excited little girl.
"Anytime, Santana. I'll see you whenever I do." Brittany looked straight into Santana's eyes which sent chills down both of their spines. She turned and walked away from the two girls, one which was busy munching on gumdrops and the other who was busy checking out Brittany as she walked.
"Do you like her Aunty Tana?" Tay said looking up to her Aunt with her much full of sugary goodness.
"I don't know, Tay. Maybe we'll come back soon and she'll be here again and we'll have a nice chat. Now come on! Simba's waiting!" Santana said looking down to Taylie who took off running straight away.
Santana half jogged, half walked past the snack bar and earned a smile and wave from Brittany. She threw a wink at Brittany who beamed.
"Well, who was that?" Brittany stopped staring at Santana's retreating figure when Quinn's voice rung in her ear.
Brittany just smiled back and replied "I think Tuesday's are my favourite days of the week."
