A/N: This is my first ever story, after reading some amazing ones on here I decided to try something. It's Brittana with a whole different approach. I hope you like it.
"Babe can you stop staring at me and help me with this box?" I keep watching the beautifully tanned woman admiring how amazing her clothes seemed to fit that Puerto Rican body. "Ughh do I have to? I'm having so much fun watching you Santana." She didn't even bother to keep looking at me but I knew she was pouting. "Seriously baby for being such a tough ass you really are weak". I slowly walk up to her hoping she's annoyed enough to not realize. "And you so cute for being so annoying, now stop messing with me and get over here". I pick her up by the legs and wrap them around my waist as she's turning around to scold me so more. She giggles as I start walking towards our bedroom. "Nat we have to finish unpacking before Q and Puck get here". I look up at her grinning. "You know how much that giggle of yours turns me on...awe babe don't look me like that you know this won't take me long". She rolls her eyes in sexy defeat. "Are we going to stay like this all day or shall we get our lady lovin on?"
Why are my hands starting to cramp up? I look down and realize I'm in my car strangling the steering wheel. Shit I really have to stop zoning out like that. At least I wasn't driving. I sigh and glance at the time. Crap I'm about to be late. I have to make a good first impression on this person otherwise i'll have to sleep in my car until I find another apartment. I look back at all the boxes full of my stuff in the backseat and quickly get out of the car.
I look for an elevator while fishing out the paper with the apartment floor and number. I hit the button and I'm soon knocking on the door. "Hi there, my name's Natalie but you can call me Nat". I shake hands with my possibly soon to be roommate. She seems nice, she's a tall brunette with sparkling green eyes and a dancer's body she kindly smiles as she lets me through the door. "Hey I'm Courtney". I walk in the door and look around "I love the apartment it seems to have a great vibe to it". Even though I'm sincere I know she realizes I'm kissing up. She just smiles and asks me if I would like some sprite. "Yeah thanks need a hand?" I ask as I get up to help anyways. "Thanks, so why are you looking for an apartment?" I tense and start to drift away. She comes over to me and puts a hand on my arm. "Hey you ok you seemed kind of dazed". No I'm not ok my girlfriend left me in the middle of the night with all her belongings just leaving a note saying sorry on her pillow. I smile at her "I'm good just thinking, actually my...uh... roommate moved out so I can't really afford the rent on my condo anymore". I looked down on my plate knowing I must have looked like a lost puppy. She looked at me curiously knowing there was more to the story but not prying any further. "Ok well if you want to sit we can discuss some things". I looked at her thankfully and followed her into the living room. After talking over rent and other responsibilities she smiled at me and welcomed me as her roommate. "When would you like to move in?". I looked at her sheepishly "is it cool if I move in now? I kind of got kicked out today, I guess they mean it when they say they'll kick you out if you don't pay". She looks at me for a minute I don't know if she's pitying me or trying not to laugh at me. She just chuckled "yeah crazy right? Well of course you can move in now where's all your stuff? I'm guessing in your car". I gaped at her and nodded "yeah I'll just go get some stuff and be right back". I get up and head out, I was about to close the door as she grabbed it and followed me outside. "You don't have to do this it's enough that you're letting me move in with such short notice". I heard her laugh as we go to my car and started unloading. "Well there is a reason why I had that ad up for a roommate it's not like you barged in unwanted". I grinned as I reached down for some more boxes "well thanks anyways babe". Shit! Did I just call her babe? I shot up and gaped at her, man I can't get kicked out of her apartment what is wrong with me? She looked at me with amusement as I tried to look for some way to explain myself. I tried mumbling something about a boyfriend but only the occasional "uh...ummm...I" came out. She just looked at me with what I think is curiosity, but it might have been disgust I'm too busy being flustered to really be too sure. "Hey sweetie maybe you should take a beat from your panicking and breath". I realized I wasn't breathing as I slowly inhaled and saw that I could now speak. "I'm so so sorry it's just I...uh... well you see... that's what I used to call my girlfriend and I'm so used to it". I looked down at my shoes as if I they would speak to me at any moment. I don't know how much time passed, when I looked up I saw her looking at me. "So I'm guessing your roommate was more than a roommate? Hey it's cool seriously come on let's just get some of these boxes inside". As we kept unpacking I started telling her how I had moved from Lima, Ohio where I lived with my girlfriend Santana to California after I got a job offer at an animal clinic. I didn't tell her why she left me, mostly because I hadn't figured that out myself. After we were mostly done we sat down and drank some wine while watching some random movie on tv. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Courtney studying me, she looks so kind as if she really gave a crap about why I am so damaged. I guess out of all the places I could have ended up this wasn't the worst.
It's been 3 weeks since Natalie moved in with me. She's such a kind person, disturbed nonetheless, but still kind. Sometimes she gets into these trances, it's like she's reliving some beautiful memories but the more the dream goes on, the deeper the darkness swallows her. Not literally, she's not being swallowed. She just seems so hurt her face shows so much pain and suffering. It makes me want to hold her so badly. But I know I can't, she doesn't see me as more than a friend and she probably never will be ready to, hell she can't even look at a counter without whimpering. It's the worst at night though, she full on screams sometimes for some chick named Santana. Screw her what could she have done to poor Nat to make her like this? Sometimes I have the urge to go into her room and grab her and just calm her. But that would be wrong, she wouldn't like that. The feeling I got when she called me babe still gives me goosebumps. But they quickly go away as soon I remember it was never meant for me. "Hey Court?...Coooourt? You ok? You look a little pale?" I look over at the Colombian in the black yoga pants and tight shirt. Why does she have to look so hot? "Court you're really freaking me out now". Huh ok yeah I nod at her to let her know I'm ok. She looks at me with concern so I walk up to her. "Hey I deserve to zone out sometimes too". I immediately regret saying that I know it stung her. "Right sorry, well I'm of to the gym, don't know when I'll be back". I looked at her sadly "hey sorry about that I didn't mean it like that just thinking is all... have fun Nat". I heard her mumble a bye as she shut the door.
I step outside the apartment starting to get mad. Why did Court attack me like that? It's not like I enjoy being hung up on the most beautiful girl to cross the earth. I knows she kens the best she seems like a great friend, always looking out for me. I've seen her at my door a couple of times after a bad Santana dream. I think she just wants to help me, maybe next time I'll ask her to come in. But only as friends obviously, she doesn't like women. I realize I'm still sitting here so I start the car and head for the gym. After a couple of hours there I decide to go for some lunch at some cute little sandwich shop I've meant to go to for weeks. After I pick out what I want to go to the cashier, wow this chick is beautiful she looks a lot like Court but with these amazing blue eyes. Seriously if these two weren't related I'd be worried. "Hey... you ok? Would you like to order now?". She looked at me the same way Court does when I'm being a space cadet, with patience and care. "Uhh yeah sorry you just look so much like my roommate Courtney, it's kind of scary". She smiles this huge smile at me which I'm sure just brightened up not just mine but everyone else's moods. "Courtney Pierce? She's my sister, I'm Brittany nice to finally meet you, you're Natalie right". I look at her not so I guess Court has told her sister about me, I wonder what. "Yeah nice to meet you Brittany". I'm not sure what to say since Court hasn't really brought her up before. I think she senses it because she smiles and says she's going to talk to her sister about us having lunch together. I agree and after ordering leave the restaurant.
When I get home Court isn't there, she's probably teaching a salsa class. Sometimes I wonder how even though I'm Colombian she's the one that dances salsa like she's been dancing it since before she was born. Not that I'm jealous, I know the basics all Colombians do but I can't move like she does. I'm going to have to ask her to teach me some moves. I take a shower and start making dinner. When I'm about done I hear Court coming through the door. "Hey court I'm in the kitchen, dinner's ready". She comes in and greets me dressed in the tight exercise clothes, I'd be lying if I said Court wasn't beautiful. She is very beautiful, maybe if she was even into girls and I wasn't so hung up... what am I thinking she wouldn't want that. "Nat... stop zoning out on me". She comes over and shakes me I look at her to let her know I'm back. "My sister Britt called and said she met you at her restaurant. I don't know why I haven't taken you myself actually, she nagged me about not telling you about her...but anyways I'm talking too much. She was wondering if she could come over tomorrow for dinner. I told her I had to ask you to make sure you weren't working then". She was so cute when she rambled I love watching her, she always blushes when she knows she's speaking too much. "I'm working tomorrow in the morning so unless she eats freakishly early it should be ok". I wink at her "hey smelly you should go shower before this food gets cold, I'll wait until you get back". She chuckles and mumbles something about annoying roommates so I throw a bean at her. I serve us some wine and sit there waiting for her. In less than 10 minutes she's back with her hair all wet and her pajama shorts all... short. I really like those it makes her legs look pretty amazing. I realize that I'm staring so I look away blushing. She just giggles to herself and plops down to eat. After we eat we just sit and talk. It's always fun talking to Court, we never run out of things to say. When it's late we say our good nights and get ready for bed.
Damn Nat's having another bad dream, I go and stand by her door. I'm about to go up to her when she says my name. "Court...here...please..." I know I must look like a fool smiling so much. I climb into bed with her and face her. I wrap my left arm around her and start rubbing her back. With my other I start massaging her head. This is what I would do to Britt after she had some dream about San... wait a minute. Santana! What if it's the same one! Of course it's the same one! How many Santanas could there be? Why hadn't i realized this before? My sister would be like this too after Santana went and moved to Cali with some chick. Now I think "some chick" is in bed with me. So where's Santana? I wonder if she's the reason my sister moved here? I mean I know my sisters passion is dancing, like me but she loved from Lima where she was the top dance instructor to be a cashier at a sandwich shop in Cali? She always claimed it was to get further in her career but she's still just a cashier. I'm going to have to talk to her. If she is with Santana I have to make sure they never see each other. I couldn't stand the look on Nat's face if she ever saw my sister with her girlfriend. Well technically she was my sisters first, they dated in high school when both had come out. "Court don't stop please". I look down and see Nat's head in-between my head and my shoulder. Normally I would mind because when people breathe in there it gives me these annoying shivers. But not with her, my body doesn't seem to mind. I go back to comforting her and soon enough we are both fast asleep.
When I wake up I'm still holding Nat and the same position. She looks so innocent and peaceful when she sleeps. I want to get up but stay there to keep her from waking. I lay there for a few minutes and remember that Nat has to go to the clinic today. As soon as I'm about to wake her, her alarm sounds. She slowly opens her eyes and looks at me. I slowly takes my hands off her and I realize her leg was in-between mine and her hand was on my hips. I start to blush and quickly get up before she can notice. I know she did though because I can sense her smile as she talks to me "thanks Court I really needed that, and you're really comfortable". I look ever at her and she winks is she trying to flirt with me? I start blushing again so I mutter you're welcome anytime and walk out. Why am I blushing? She just needed comfort, it's not like she asked me to go because she likes me. I start cooking breakfast still a little flustered. I see her walking towards me and I tense up. She grabs me into a hug "I do like you, but you have to know I'm still hung up on someone I don't want you to end up hurt Court". I look at he my mouth wide open as a smile starts forming on my face. "You want to know the best way to move on? Find someone else". I slowly start closing up the space between us. She looks at me I think she's about to step back but she grabs my head and finishes closing the space between us. We start kissing first slowly but it start getting heavier and heavier. I lick her delicious bottom lip asking for permission in. She gives it to me and our tongues start probing each other, soon enough she's on top of the counter. She tenses up and pulls away looking at the counter as if it just shot her. I grab her and she looks at me. I'm not sure what to say. She climbs down and hugs me around the waist. Man she sure is tiny. Well maybe not as tiny as Santana but still tiny. Crap that reminds me I have to make sure Britt isn't bringing her. I pull away and give her a quick peck. She goes to take a shower as I continue cooking breakfast. After we're both bathed and fed she heads out for work and I start cleaning up. I always clean when I'm nervous. I have to think of a way to tell Britt not to bring Santana, if she really is with her, without spilling too much. I decide it's best to just be truthful with her knowing she'll know something's wrong anyways. I reach for the phone and call her.
A/N: Also I can't seem to come up with a good title for this. I'm not very creative, I'd appreciate some help. Anyway reviews would be nice. As much as I like writing for myself it would be cool to know someone else likes it too... or doesn't thanks cool too.
