"Hey, Aly, I'm gonna go now alright? I don't wanna miss my flight."
"Aww. You're gonna leave now? I don't want you to go." Aly said to her like they'll never see each other again.
"Hey now, it'll just be for a couple of months and then I'll be back. I love you, you know that right? I'll never leave you. You can still call me and we can Skype too."
"Okay. Just promise me we'll talk at least twice a week. Yeah?"
Aly walked her to the door.
They hugged each other goodbye. The hug lasted a little longer than expected, both of them not wanting to let go yet. Santana reluctantly pulled away and kissed the girl's cheek. 'I'll miss you' being the last words they said to each other.
Santana got into her car and prepared herself for a long ass flight. She lived now in the Philippines because her mom had set up a business there and it's going great. She's living with Aly in an apartment in Makati because her mom's office was there. She could've lived with her mom but she wanted a place of her own.
And now she's going back to the States to visit her father. She really missed him so much. She hasn't seen him in over a year now, so she's getting excited despite the fact that he fails to become a responsible father to Santana. She tried to push those negative thoughts away and just thought about the positive things about her father.
She got to the airport after 30 minutes of driving. She picked up her bags and continued inside. Once all the papers and stuff were done with, she headed to the waiting area. She just sat there listening to her iPod. The PA system started to say something. "Flight number 404 to New York is boarding now. Please proceed to gate 4." Luckily, she didn't put the volume too high for her not to hear the announcement. She quickly stood up and gathered her things and walked over to Gate 4.
She sat in business class, as always. Throughout the flight, she just thought of her dad and what adventures she will come to experience while she was there in New York.
She arrived at the airport after a 16 hour flight. She immediately got off the plane when it landed. She was so excited to see her dad. She was looking for him in the crowd that was waiting for the passengers of the plane but was disappointed that she didn't see him there.
She went to the waiting shed and texted her mom.
I just got here mom. I'm safe. Love you! -San
She tried to call her dad after she sent the message but he wasn't picking up. She sighed and just sat there. She didn't notice the blonde who sat next to her.
The blonde noticed though that she looked frustrated and sad. She heard her sigh.
"Having a bad day?"
"Yeah." Santana said simply without turning to look at the blonde. She didn't really want to talk to anyone right now.
Though the Latina seemed like she doesn't want to talk, the blonde couldn't help it. When she saw the girl sitting there, she immediately fascinated her. It was as if something was pulling her towards the girl. She felt like she should get to know the girl and that's why she's sitting there now, next to the Latina. The blonde was acting on her instincts and she could only hope that she's not being too forward.
"So, why are you still here?", She asked the girl casually.
"Ugh. I really don't want to talk right now 'cause as you can see my fucking father forgot to pick me up and I can't go anywhere." The brunette snapped and this made the blonde jump.
"Woah. No need to snap at me. I'm just trying to make conversation here… But… Maybe we could have a ride together? …Don't take this as something like I'm hitting on you or anything. I'm just trying to help a stranger. What do you say?" The blonde smiled at her and it somewhat made Santana trust this girl.
The brunette's lips formed a small smile but it was immediately replaced by furrowed brows. She doesn't really trust a lot of people, only her family but there was really something about this girl.
"Why should I?" The brunette rose one of her eyebrows up.
"Ugh.. Cause you won't be going anywhere and I doubt that you would want to sleep in the airport. Just let me do you a favor. I'm trying to be nice here."
"Hmm. Okay… I would, but I don't know yet where I'm going to be staying and my father isn't picking up my calls." Santana said thoughtfully.
"…Maybe you can sleep over at my apartment for tonight… Only if you want to. I have a guest bedroom in my apartment so… I'm not pushing you to anything. And like I said many times before, I'm just trying to be nice."
Santana thought for a while. Should I really go with this girl? She doesn't look dangerous or anything. She's actually cute when I think of it. And she has really pretty and really blue eyes. Oh, wow. She's captivating. I haven't seen such a beauty before. Oh! Wait! Santana Lopez, snap out of it! You're getting way out of hand. You don't even know if she's gay… But she's the only one willing to help her so.. it wouldn't hurt, right? What if it turns out like the movies? Santana could only hope for that. Santana won't admit it but she's a big sucker for romance movies.
The blonde was looking at her with her brows furrowed. The blonde thought that she may have been too forward. She was starting to feel embarrassed and that's when the brunette spoke.
"Okay. But promise me that you'll let me make it up to you sometime?" Santana grinned at her and she smiled back, nodding.
"Oh, I forgot to ask your name. What is it?" Santana asked the blonde.
"Oh. Yeah. It's Brittany. Brittany S. Pierce" She held out her hand awkwardly.
The Latina shook it while saying, "Santana Lopez."
"Nice to meet you Ms. Lopez."
"Ditto." They exchanged silly smiles. And with that they hopped on to a cab together and went to her apartment.
Santana Lopez hasn't even officially stepped foot outside the airport and yet she could already feel that her stay in New York will be a memorable one. Yes, it didn't have a great start, but the appearance of a random blonde has made her day a little bit brighter.
A/N: Yes, I am from the Philippines and I felt like it would be easier for me to write that in. This is my first fic ever, so please bear with me. I'm new to this. I've learned from the authors around here and I tried to make something of my own. Thanks for reading! Reviews are appreciated! :))
