A flash of blonde hair is seen as the young girl runs as fast as her long legs will carry her, weaving in and out of hallways, jumping into the elevator at the last second possible. She slams the 1st floor button and as soon as it lights up the machine begins to lower. She impatiently taps her foot and drums her fingers on her thighs, a nervous habit that she can't seem to shake. The doors finally open and she leaps out as soon as she possibly can.
She was late, as usual, to her job at the front desk. Rounding the corner of the hallway she dodged an old couple opening their room door. She threw back a hurried apology and stumbled a little to avoid tripping over their luggage.
Only one minute left or I get another write up. She thought as she finally saw the hotel's large marble counter come into view. Her short brunette co-worker rolled her eyes as she threw herself behind the counter. Earning a few confusing and disapproving looks from some of the customers, she entered her employ ID code into the computer, successfully clocking in before glancing at the clock.
Made it! Giving a small fist pump under the desk, she looked up and greeted the man standing in front of her.
"Good morning, my name is Brittany! Welcome to Mckinley Resort. How may I help you?"
Brittany S. Peirce is somewhat of a handful to the ones who surround her. She came to Florida 7 years ago, when she was at the age of 15, and has been here ever since. Her father, David, is a co-owner of the resort that she works for. Of course this would mean that she is insanely rich but that never really mattered to Brittany. Money is an odd and confusing concept to her. She insisted that she simply stay in one of the rooms in the hotel; which proved to help with her attendance. Her father agreed but put her in a room bigger than she knew what to do with, and full room service and cleaning crew. Brittany knew she was extremely blessed and in favor works for the resort for almost no pay.
During the school year when she was younger she would only work full time during the summers. Now that she is 21, she works all year round as receptionists, life guard, bar tender and occasional singer and dancer in the outside bar. The resort is only about a mile from the beach and has shuttles that carry customers to the ocean. It also has three large 15 stories high buildings that housed visitors, two water parks, and six bars scattered up and down the long street devoted to the resort, four tennis courts, and finally a bike shop where you can rent bikes to ride on the boardwalk. The scale of the resort still amazes Brittany even after all this time.
Something that many people know about the tall blonde is that she is very much into women. From a young age she noticed that when her friends were talking about male actors on the screen she couldn't help but let her eyes wonder over to the female actress. To her, women are more of a challenge than men and that always excited her. She had some girlfriends but never anything to serious. Whoever she was dating would normally get fed up with her random comments and seemingly endless thought train. But she couldn't complain. She was what her elders like to call a free spirit; someone who never settles down and just goes with the flow. She wasn't so sure about the never settling down part but she definitely enjoyed what she was doing and following with everyone else. And although things like money, math, and science confused her; people never did. She is street smart, not book smart.
So with a lifestyle full of adventure and endless things to do, Brittany is always going and going. Her best friend, Rachel Berry, is extremely envious of her bottomless energy. Rachel has been working at the resort for about 3 years and is the one person, other than her family that was a constant variable in Brittany's life. The blonde drags the poor girl all-round the country to find places that sparked her imagination. Tiring the short brunette out most of the time, Brittany is forced to find more people to keep up with her. That is how she came to be on a first name basis with every worker in the resort and often remembered customers who returned year after year.
"Brittany, you seriously need to start waking up earlier or you are going to be demoted to cleaning toilets with Fred." Rachel chimed as they sat down in the break room to eat their.
"I know I know, I couldn't sleep last night. But I made it just in time today thank God." Brittany replied while pulling out her PB&J. She sulked at her little night of sleep and pouted into her sandwich, dreading the thought of being fired.
"Why were you up so late?" The brunette asked with a worried tone. She pulled out some kind of vegan wrap that Brittany instantly turned her nose up at.
Her friend looked up at her and caught the look of panicking nerves on the blonde's face.
"Oh I get it. She is coming this week, isn't she?" Rachel inquired with a teasing smirk. Brittany rolled her eyes and mumbled something about letting it go as she turned her attention to her lunch.
With that said, we can move onto the one person that the blonde remembers every year without fail. Every year for the past 5, a woman who she only knows as Lopez, has visited the resort at the same time; the second, third and fourth week of July. Without fail Lopez shows up with her family to stay for three weeks. The woman, she found out on one of her trips, is two years older than her, placing her at 23. From the moment Brittany laid eyes on her in the outside bar she instantly knew that her thoughts would be swarmed with the idea of the mysterious Latina. Beautiful long brown hair that is always pulled into a high pony tail, large brown eyes that she could lose herself in for hours if given the chance, and a little shorted than Brittany with tanned skin and a body that made her mouth go dry and the moister collect other places because of thoughts that the blonde is not so proud of.
She is classy, and form what Brittany could tell, came from a lot of money. She always wears fancy clothes and expensive looking shoes. Her father also gets the penthouse suite which is on the top floor and contains 3 rooms. Brittany assumes that the woman is an only child because whenever she visits it is always just her father, mother, and grandmother. She seems like a loner, spending most of her time either by the pool or on the beach, but Brittany figures that that is probably just because all her friends are back home. I mean, who wouldn't be this woman's friend? She is gorgeous and always super sweet to Brittany. She has seen the Latina get a little rude with some of the other employees but there are annoying people who work here so she can't really blame her.
It isn't just the way the girl acts or the way she looks that draws Brittany in; it is the way her heart races at the mere thought of the brunette returning. Or how when she sees her for the first time in a year the only thoughts in her head are about how much she missed her and thought about her. She has barely even spoken to the woman over the years but it is almost like she has never missed someone so much in her life. She knows it is crazy. She knows it is outrageous. But this woman is someone that Brittany is never going to let go of.
That is why this year is different. The Lopez family should be checking in tomorrow morning and Brittany isn't going to miss her chance this time.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-SMACK
A tan arm reached out of a black blanket and slammed the offensive alarm clock silent.
A groan is heard as a head of dark hair buries itself deeper in the pillow.
"Come on hija! Es hora de despertar." Her mother yells through the door of her bedroom.
How did she even get into my apartment? The brunette thinks as she pulls away the covers. Slowly lifting herself from the comfort of her bed she pulls on a tank top and sweat pants. She throws a look into the mirror on the other side of the room and shrugs at her cant-give-a-fuck appearance.
Making her way down the small stair case and into the kitchen she is hit with the scent of eggs and bacon cooking. Wait a minute, mom never cooks; is her last thought before making the few steps around the corner.
"Santana!" She hears a man's voice call and automatically is overwhelmed with the feeling of excitement.
Rushing towards her is her new fiancés, Noah Puckerman. He is a lot taller than her, very built and sports a rebellious Mohawk on his head. She grins and allows him to pick her up and swing her around. She hadn't seen him for two weeks because of a business trip and was extremely surprised to see him in her kitchen. They share a small kiss and Santana laughs a little when he squeezes her tightly.
"Noah! I can't believe it, when did you get into town? And how did you get here?" Santana asked as she is set down. She glances around into the kitchen and spots her mother smiling at the young couple.
"Your mother kindly picked me up from the airport this morning. And guess what?" He asked with a smirk. Santana shot him a look that told him to continue.
"Maria asked me this morning if I wanted to join you guys on your trip. I am already packed and ready to go from my last trip so I thought why not, right?" He offered a large smile as he stepped away and walked over to the stove that held their breakfast.
"That sounds great babe, I can't wait." She replied with an even tone.
Don't get her wrong, she is excited that Noah gets to come along. She had missed him a lot while he was gone. It just bugs her a little because this is the one time a year when she gets to relax by herself and not have to worry about anything. But she knew from what he said that this was her mother's doing and there was no arguing with that woman, especially since they were leaving the next morning and no way could she get Noah to back out in that amount of time.
Santana Lopez is the daughter of two very successful doctors. Unfortunately this is what seems to define her for other people. She has no interest in medicine but is actually a reporter for Time magazine and has a large devotion to music. More often than not she finds herself staying late at the magazine to finish her reports then heading straight to the recording studio to help publish new artist. A busy lifestyle yes, but one she loves. On the down side she is a lot of people's bosses which earned her the Bitch from Hell title. It didn't bother her to much because in all honesty it is true. She has to keep everyone in line somehow.
One person who did see threw that façade is her now fiancé, Noah. They have been dating for two years and she doesn't think she could ask for a better boyfriend. He is always there for her and makes sure to let her blow off steam from her jobs which she is really grateful for. They met through her parents, 4 years ago, and ever since then they have been pushing the two to tie the knot. So when Noah finally proposed they were ecstatic. Santana, on the other hand, was what she could only describe as content. She likes Noah well enough and since he was going to school to become a doctor that made her parents very happy. The brunette just couldn't help but feel like something was a little off about that whole thing.
She pushes those thoughts aside every time since they started dating and looks at the bright side. He is handsome, will be rich, and is pretty good in bed. What else could she want?
"So are you excited for our trip to Florida, Santana?" Her mother asked when she enters the dining room with the food Noah prepared.
"Of course mother, how can I not be?" She replies as a flash of memories go through her head.
The pictures stop on a certain blonde girl who works at the resort they go to every year. Golden locks that end at her shoulders that always seem to be flying around because the girl seems to always be in a hurry. She can still see those sharp blue eyes that pierce her every time she sees them. Not to mention the glorious abs that rest on the tall girl's stomach that the Latina was so incredibly jealous of. She knows the girl's name is Brittany and she has gathered that she is a few years younger than her but not by much. She is bubbly and always says the quirkiest things to her and her family. Santana and the rest of the Lopez's have gotten many laughs out of the girl's odd but charming behavior and always look forward to seeing her each year. Santana always seems to surprise herself when she sees the blonde and lets her smile grow so big her dimples show; which rarely happens. There is just something so alluring about the girl that Santana can never quite put her finger on.
"Well our flight leaves at 5 tomorrow morning. Please try to wake up on time and be ready outside for us. We want to check into the resort early so that we can make it to the beach at a decent time." Her mother continues to talk about plans for that week but Santana blocks her nagging voice out and losses herself deep in thought.
This year I think I will try to get to know her. What harm could that do?
