Chapter 1
Santana's POV
So it's been almost a month now living in New York, it hasn't been so bad. Sure Kurt and Rachel can get pretty annoying sometimes, and don't even get me started on that creep Brody, but it's nice to have people around. I managed to get a job as a waitress/bartender at a place only a couple blocks away. It's not much but see makes pretty decent tips. Right now she is working the afternoon shift at "Last Call" as a waitress, it's almost 5 and see gets off at 6.
She just got done taking a tables drink order when her phone vibrates in her apron, she decides to take a quick peek while out of view of everyone. She instantly smiles when she sees "Britt-Britt" light up on the screen.
From Britt-Britt: Hey Sanny!
Santana frown when she realizes she can't talk right now...
To Britt-Britt: Hi Britt! I'm actually at work can I text you in like an hour?
From Britt-Britt: Of course silly. :)
Santana immediately exhales the breathe she was holding and smiles knowing that she will get to talk to her best friend later.
With the sudden change in her attitude the last hour falls by and ends up leaving with not a bad amount of money.
She walks out of Last Call and takes out her phone first thing.
To Britt-Britt: Hey Britty! just got out of work and walking home. What are you up to?
Less than a minute later she gets a response.
From Britt-Britt: Oh nothing really..just looking through some old stuff...
To Britt-Britt: How come? missing something?
From Britt-Britt: I'm always missing something, but no just sorting through everything and getting rid of old stuff.
Santana looks up and realizes she is already back to her loft. She is kind of worried about Brittany's last text. What is she getting rid of? Is she trying to forget some of her old memories?
Walking through the door, head down, trying to thinking of what is going on with Brittany. She immediately smells something freshly baked and her two ex-nemesis singing out loud in the kitchen baking.
Even after trying to be quiet hoping they don't see her walk in her train of thought is broken by none other than Rachel Berry.
Yeah some how she became with once known "Manhands" and is now living with her but that doesn't mean she can't still be annoying from time to time.
"Hey Santana, Kurt and I were just baking some cupcakes for our new neighbor downstairs. She just moved in today so once we are finished I thought the three of us could head down and welcome her appropriately." barely taking a breathe she continues on with her rant. "So why don't you go shower and change into something not greased stay so she thinks she has nice clean neighbors."
After all is said Santana just sighs and says "Sure Rach I'll be ready in like 45 minutes." as she trudges her way to the bathroom.
Well walking to the bathroom Kurt and Rachel just look at each other in disbelief that there was no witty remark but then just share a knowing smile.
Once in the bathroom Santana remembers that she hasn't texted Brittany back yet, not wanting to be rude she pulls out her phone.
To Britt-Britt: Sorry it took me so long. I just got home and had to listen to Berry rant about something. Why the sudden decision to sort through old stuff? hope you are getting rid of anything important.
She starts to take off her clothes and starts the shower when her phone beeps.
From Britt-Britt: It's okay. Don't be silly I'm not getting rid of anything important just sorting stuff for after I move out of home, ya know get a head start.
Santana sighs and smiles at the text but before she can respond she gets another one.
From Britt-Britt: And stop acting like you don't like Rachel we both know that is not true.
To Britt-Britt: shh Britt you can't let anyone know that. I might now dislike her but living with her and Lady boy is a totally different story.
After that text she decides to get in the shower, half way through she hears her phone beep again with the text alert that only means her favorite person is texting her again. She hurries up the rest of her shower just to get to her phone.
From Britt-Britt: You are a dork Sanny. Oh yeah Lord T says "hi and misses you and the arrangement you guys had." I don't know what that means but I won't ask. But maybe you can get a new place soon.
Santana reads this and can't help the laugh that comes out because she knows that she is talking about her sneaking LT cigars every once in awhile to leave them alone to get their sweet lady kisses on. She continues to her part of the loft to change and get ready to meet this new neighbor while continuing to text Britt.
To Britt-Britt: ugh I wish there was actually a loft open downstairs but I couldn't find a roommate, so I couldn't afford it. But tell LT I miss him to and make it up to him.
From Britt-Britt: you two are weird but maybe you will find someone to room with...
To Britt-Britt: The loft is actually been rented, that was what Rachel was ranting about early I guess we are go down to meet her in a little. You know be the good neighbor type.
From Britt-Britt: Oh that't too bad but maybe the girl will be super nice and like wicked hott and you two can fall in love and make lady babies.
Santana smiles at Brittany's adorableness but frowns at Brittany talking about herself moving on with someone that wasn't the gorgeous blonde blue eyed girl she fell in love with when they were five.
Santana decides on dark skinny jeans, a white blouse, a colorful scarf and some all white converse. She left her hair dry naturally too for a nice wave to it, most people weren't used to her hair this because of the strict high pony tail she had to wear all through high school.
She made her way into the living room and sat on the couch noticing her roommates now decorating what looked like cupcakes.
To Britt-Britt: I doubt that will happen Britt it will probably be some middle aged over weight woman that is sad and lonely...
From Britt-Britt: ha don't be mean San. When are you guys going to meet her?
To Britt-Britt: As soon as they are done making what looks like cupcakes for her.
From Britt-Britt: ooooh i love cupcakes what kind are they?
At this Santana arches an eyebrow but just decides to ask.
"Hey guys what kind of cupcakes are you making?" Kurt immediately answers, "Confetti with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles and dots on top."
At that answer Santana immediately from realizing who use to love those type of cupcakes.
"What made you guys make that kind?" Santana asks while Rach and Kurt look at each other and shrug their shoulders for Rachel to answer.
"Um it's just what we thought of we made them before but we couldn't remember for what and we just thought they sounded good." Rachel answered a little nervously.
"Oh you guys must have made them for Britt's birthday or something, those are her favorite" Santana says while smiling and starts to text again while Kurt and Rachel mumble that must be why they thought of them.
To Britt-Britt: Funny they are making your favorite, confetti, vanilla frosting, rainbow sprinkles, and dots.
From Britt-Britt: Awe man I wish I could have one they sound delicious.
Santana can't help but smile at everything Brittany says and does. She is so happy they have been texting and talking more on a regular basis, even though said girl is still dating trouty mouth. She frowns thinking of how Brittany chose another stupid boy over her but she understood. She still couldn't control her next text..
To Britt-Britt: So how is everything back in Lima? How is Sam?
Santana held her breathe waiting for a response and when she finally got it and read it she exhaled and smiled the biggest smile she has had in a long time.
From Britt-Britt: Everything in Lima is pretty much the same as always. Actually me and Sam broke up a couple weeks ago.
To Britt-Britt: Why? What happened?
From Britt-Britt: We were fighting since we got our SAT scores back and he couldn't understand how he did so poorly and I aced them and than why you came back and sang that song against him, he made me choose him or you...
To Britt-Britt: So wait you chose me over him? But I thought you were happy?
From Britt-Britt: I was happy but I wasn't happy being him he was more of a good friend than anything else and I really couldn't believe he wanted me to choose, so I ended it. Not to mention he thought I was going to move with him to his families house since he didn't get into any schools outside the area but I couldn't give up my opportunity.
Santana re-read this text over and over. First she couldn't believe how much of an ass Sam could be, at a time she actually thought he was a really good guy, she guesses she was wrong. Then she didn't understand what opportunity Britt was giving up and just had to ask.
To Britt-Britt: I'm sorry to hear all of that Britt, I knew you were happy. But I can't help but ask...what opportunity?
From Britt-Britt: Happy but not as happy as I could be...Anyways I found out I got accepted to Juilliard in the fall.
Santana couldn't control the excited squeal that came out when she read that text. Which got attention from her roommates asking what was happening.
She immediately told them with such pride "Britt got in to Juilliard next fall!" Kurt and Rachel smiled right away and jumped up and down and clapped their hands together. Telling Santana to tell her congrats from them.
Santana thought their was something strange about how her roommates were acting but just shrugged it off and went back to her phone.
To Britt-Britt: OMG Britt that is amazing I am so proud of you, I knew you would make it! Kurt and Rach say congrats too!
From Britt-Britt: Thanks San. I'm glad you told them because I was hoping to visit you guys soon to go on a tour and stuff of the campus. :)
To Britt-Britt: Of course B. We would love to see you. I'm so happy my best friend with be back in the same city as me.
From Britt-Britt: Me to San, I can't wait to me in New York and she you and everyone else all the time.
Before Santana could respond, she heard both Kurt and Rachel's text message beeps go off and turned to them in suspicion and was going to ask what was going on but Rachel started to talk first.
"We are done with the cupcakes, thanks for the help Santana, but we should head down there before it gets too late. That is if you can stop texting for five minutes Santana?" She crossed her arms in a questioning gesture are the slightly taller brunette.
Santana huffed but agreed, "Alright lets get this over with so I can get back to sitting my perfectly round ass on the couch and relaxing."
At the Kurt laughed and couldn't help but say "For the amount of time you sit on that thing it is surprising how nice it is."
Santana couldn't help the smirk forming on her lips while she said, "Lady I know we play for the same team but I think we are in different leagues." With that all three laughed and made their way out the door. While walking Santana sent one last text.
To Britt-Britt: I can't wait either, but I have to go for a little while we go meet this new neighbor I'll text you later. pinky promise.
Right as Rachel knocked on the door she looked up waiting to she who ever the hell she would be living above. But than her phone beeped one last time and couldn't help but read it as the sliding door was opening.
From Britt-Britt: Tell me the first words that come to mind when you meet your new neighbor.
After reading the text she looked up to see the most gorgeous blue eyes that she has ever seen and kept looking deeper and deeper into the eyes she fell in love with 13 years ago. She stood there jaw dropped just staring at the most beautiful smile. Two idiot standing on the side with goofy grins and watery eyes.
When she finally shook herself out of it she looked down at her phone, not noticing 3 sets of uncertain eyes on her as she typed one more text for the night...
To Britt-Britt: Absolutely breathtaking.
