Is it true?
AU: Brittany is engaged and she will be going to Lima, but there's no problem because she got over Santana, even Santana never knew it because back in time they just were friends.
Chapter 1:
'Will you marry me, Brittany?' The question is still echoing in my head three weeks after, while I'm looking at my hand with an engagement ring on it. The ring has a beautiful blue sapphire set in white gold and every time I look at it a little smile appears on my face. I'm not a materialistic person, I think that money can't buy happiness and probably the ring had to be expensive but I like it because for what means and for the person who gave it to me.
I'm not against marriage or anything, but I never ever thought about me being a married woman because is a 'grow up thing' and I'm far, like far away to be a mature person maybe this could be the first step.
The funny thing is that I'll be the fourth person who will marry of all my friends, who could have guessed, huh? I think that no one saw that coming, especially my parents. I'm the one who really never thought about it. When they were talking about wedding stuff I always zoned out because is super boring. Some friends had been planning their dream wedding already, they known the place, the number of guests or the menu, even the music and the whole thing without caring if their fiancé/ fiancée had something to say about it, some of them even don't have one.
"A penny for your thoughts" says a redhead with beautiful green eyes, coming back from the bar with drinks in her hands. She's Danielle my fiancée.
"I'm thinking about how good taste I had choosing my fiancée because she is like super awesome and pays for my drinks."
"Yeah, I'm amazing" She gave me a peck while laughs and sits next to me. "But you are paying for your own drinks, because I'm your fiancée and not a bank account."
"Party pooper!" I frown.
"Yeah, your personal party pooper!" She said and winks at me.
Danielle and I met three years ago and we've been together for two. Back in that time I wasn't looking for a relationship because I really don't care being single, most of my life I've been. While there are some people that can't be alone and they jump from one relationship to another, but there's a big difference between being alone and being lonely. And in my case after a year I realized that I wanted Danielle more than a friendly way.
"Earth to Brittany" She said snapping her fingers in front of my eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Yes" I answered nervously and I almost spilled my drink "Yes, I'm fine!"
Way to be smooth, today I'm little nervous because later, I'll give a Danielle a ring, I know she proposed to me first and there's no reason to be nervous but I can't help it. I think is not fair she doesn't have a ring, so I bought one for her.
"Are you sure? Because you've been a little jumpy."
Lucky me, my phone start to ring, because I suck at lying, I don't want spoil the surprise.
"Hi Mike!" I greeting to my favorite dancer.
"I have the speaker on and Tina is with me."
"I know Tina is with you, you two are married!"
"She's in here with me."
"Ok."
"Did you forget, didn't you?" He sighs "You told me to call you at six o clock so you can have an excuse to leave and go to Danielle's apartment."
"Not, not at all!" That accusation offends me, how I could forget about the proposal.
"I'm talking about the phone call."
"Then you're right." I look to Danielle's and she's busy looking at her phone.
Today I was so busy that I forgot about the phone call because of the ring, the first I bought it wasn't Danielle's sizes. I meant, since when there are different sizes for rings, I didn't know. Thanks to Mike who made me compare the ring I bought with one from Danielle, because the same thing happened to him when he bought one for Tina. So today, just on time I picked up the new ring and it's in my short pocket.
"Don't worry Britt!" Now is Tina voice's who is talking from other side of the line "Tell Danielle that you have to help Mike to prepare some choreography for an advanced class. I know that you aren't good at lying so I decided to make it up an excuse for you. But the least I expect is being a maid of honor!"
"Don't doubt it!" I exclaimed.
"Oh come on! I thought the excuse as well, I deserve some credit too, you know her because of me!" Mike intervenes.
Mike is my friend since high school and Tina is her wife, but I think if I didn't were together I would like her anyways, she just as awesome as Mike is, they have been happily married for almost a year.
"So you want to be her maid of honor?" Tina asks.
"No! I want to be her best man!" Mike says.
"I think that maybe the best man will be probably covered with Danielle's brother!" Tina says laughing.
"Don't worry Mike; I will fix something for you!" I said and hang up the phone.
"Dani, I forget I had to help Mike with choreography for an advanced class. I need to go, sorry." I said while picking my purse "But you have to stay in here until you finish your drink and mine! And you don't go to your place until then."
"What?" She stops looking at her phone at looks at me.
"You can't waste the drinks, which would be irresponsible because there are children that have nothing to drink or eat." I need to get going because I'm being more weird than usual.
"Okay" Danielle said looking at me with a funny face "If you want, after you finish helping Mike, you could come to sleep at my place." Instead of answering I kissed her.
I've been hiding in Danielle's closet for half an hour because when I was in the apartment I heard noises from the elevator and I thought it was her. I panicked and under pressure usually, I don't take the right choices so I put myself in the closet, in the tiny closet she has. Now I can't go out because I don't want go out to avoid screw up the surprise, because timing it was never my thing, so I hope she will be at home soon because my butt starts to hurt.
Fortunately five minutes later I can hear the door opening and Danielle comes into the apartment, she's talking with someone 'Yes, Jack; Brittany left me in the bar she had things to do but I'm already in home and I don't want go to drink something now, I'm tired!' Jack is Danielle's brother. 'Don't laugh at me! She didn't ditch me. 'Yes, I'm sure I'll be getting married with this woman' she chuckled 'I'm hanging. Bye.'
She goes around the house except to her room where I put the envelope, the ring, the rose, the chocolate and the champagne. So when the apartment is in silence I got out of the closet. I walk to her room to find Danielle reading the note I wrote, 'Do you still want to spend your life with me?' She says it out loud when she notices that I'm in here and walks next to me.
"If I get a ring, obviously, you got a ring too!" I put my arms around her waist and Danielle put her arms around my neck.
"I wasn't expecting this!" She says looking the ring that is now on her finger "You're amazing."
We heard someone screaming 'Kiss the girl for crying out loud!', 'She earns it!', 'Kiss her already; we don't have the whole day.' The different voices belong to Danielle's friends who are cheering from the door of the apartment, and we can hear Danielle's brother speaking 'Dani, we'll be waiting for you two in the living!'.
"What are they doing in here?" She looks at me delightfully.
"I didn't know they were coming, I just told them about the proposing, but I assure it wasn't an invitation. I was expecting to get some action after my incredibly romantic gesture" I laughed.
"You did this to get on my pants?"
"Maybe" I shrugged.
"Now I can stop feeling guilty, I gave you the ring hoping you would be the one carrying the kids." Danielle says pretending to be relieved.
"There is no need for you to feel guilty I gave you this ring hoping you will be paying for the wedding." I said nonchalantly.
"You're such a dork!"
"That's right!" I squeeze her ass.
"Brittany S. Pierce, I'll marry you!"Dani says and we kiss again. "By the way, where you were hiding?"
"Trust me, you don't wanna know, the proposal would lose some charm."
Now we all are chatting animatedly with some drinks. I remembered that I've received several message earlier and I didn't read it because I was nervous. Sometimes I forget I have a phone. There were several messages from Mike and Tina, but there's one I wasn't expecting.
*Is it true? Are you engaged? – Santana.
News travels fast these days, the message is from someone I used to know and whose number saved on my phone long time ago, except that in the last years I used it less and less, but never had the courage to delete it.
