A/N: Hey everyone, welcome to the sequel :-) I was supposed to get this up quicker but I had an awful week and it just delayed the whole process. Then I had to come up with a title and...ugh I hate that part the most. I grabbed the first story's title from a Tegan and Sara song so I figured it was only fitting to do the same for the sequel.
Initially I was going to jump right into the story...but I kind of felt like not writing a Brittana wedding after all that was cheating so I decided to do it and have this serve as the prologue. I think it kind of sets up the future for the story anyway, but the next chapter will definitely set the real groundwork for where this story is going. For now you have an extremely fluffy wedding chapter that even has some sexy times to hold you over. :-)
Anyways, I won't waste any more of your time but I'll definitely go back to regular updates going forward. If I can I'll get the next one up a little quicker. I hope everyone is happy with it and if there are any new readers - you don't have to read Take Me Anywhere, but it will probably help because there will always be references to it in this one, but your call. Enjoy!
June 9, 2017
"Nervous?" Brittany asked, arms securely wrapped around her fiancée's waist and a coy smile on her lips. Santana furrowed her brow playfully.
"About what?" She shrugged casually.
"The big day!" Brittany exclaimed as if it was obvious. "In a couple minutes, I'm going walk out the front door of the apartment and the next time we see each other we're going to be wife and wife!" Santana couldn't contain the look of adoration that spread across her face as she leaned up to peck Brittany's lips.
"You mean I can stop calling you my girlfriend?" Brittany giggled and nodded. "I'm not nervous at all babe. Why would I ever be nervous about spending the rest of my life with you? It's pretty much been my plan all along." Brittany bit her lip.
"If I bribe her with a week's worth of free Broadway tickets do you think Rachel would let me stay here?" Santana stifled a laugh and shook her head.
"Nope, I think you have to go." She said regretfully. "Anyway, this was your idea! You believe in luck and magic and all of that…and if you want to play by those rules…you're sleeping further uptown tonight." Brittany sighed with resignation.
"I guess so."
"It's only a night." Santana said, pecking her lips sweetly as she rocked them back and forth. "I'm going to spend the next 10 days after tomorrow locked in a hotel room with you so I think it's fair."
"But it's so annoying." Brittany whined. "I mean, of all nights tonight I just feel so close to you and all I can think about is you and what's going to happen tomorrow and it's just like the worst night in the world to spend apart." Santana scrunched her face overdramatically in consideration.
"Weeeelllll….I don't know about that…I mean I kinda think it would be a lot worse to spend tomorrow apart. Don't you?" Brittany frowned.
"Stop being annoying."
"Sorry." Santana laughed and squeezed her arms around Britttany's neck. "But seriously, I feel you. Trust me, I do. But I'll be with you…" she kissed her softly, "you can call me." She said kissing her again. "We can even Skype or Facetime or something." She said, kissing her once more as Brittany walked her slowly backwards, easily deepening the kiss.
"Mmm." Santana groaned softly as her legs hit the bed and she fell under the weight of the taller body above her. "Britt…." She said as Brittany dragged her lips across her jaw and down to her neck. "Britt" she protested weakly. "Oh god…Brittany stop or I won't be able to make you."
"That's the plan." Brittany mumbled into her collarbone as her hands slid up underneath her shirt, lifting it swiftly over her head.
"Brittany, Quinn and Rachel and your sister are all outside." She gasped as she felt her bra being unhooked and Brittany trailing her tongue along the valley between her breasts. "Shit."
"Don't you want one more time before we get married?"
"But-"
"I want you so bad." Brittany whispered into her ear before nibbling on it and back down her neck.
"Fuck." Santana said, her body already complying as Brittany pulled her short skirt down her legs. "You're evil." Brittany laughed into the skin of her stomach before pressing a kiss there.
"The good kind of evil." She said, pulling down her black lace underwear. "Someone was definitely planning on getting some." She noted.
"Always good to be prepared." Santana sighed as she felt Brittany place soft, open mouth kissed to each thigh.
"Are you sure you want this?" Brittany asked, pulling back and looking up at her. She bit her lip to try and hold back her smile as Santana instantly scowled down at her.
"Oh, don't play with me now Britt." She growled.
"Play with you?" Brittany asked with mock shock, placing a hand on her chest. "I was just saying a minute ago you wanted me to leave and to spend tonight apart so maybe…"
"Brittany!" Santana cut her off sternly. "If you don't finish what you started I'm going to make you suffer in ways you can't imagine." Brittany laughed and leaned up to kiss her sweetly.
"I love you." She whispered before trailing her way back down to exactly where Santana needed her most. She let her tongue trail up Santana's center, her hands coming to steady her sides as she arched up into her.
"Oh my god." Santana gasped, throwing her head back. She felt Brittany smiled into her as she continued to lick and suck.
"Brittany!" An all too familiar voice called from outside.
"Oh no." Santana said, lifting her head with panic as Brittany's head shot up, her eyes wide, but it was too late.
"I said I'd give you 5 more minutes but this is- oh my god!" Rachel screamed shielding her eyes and running into the wall as she tried to escape. Santana wrapped her arms around her chest.
"What is it?" asked Quinn appearing behind Rachel and halting her exit. "Oh, not again!" Quinn said, shielding her own eyes.
"Get the fuck out of here!" Santana yelled.
"Santana-"
"No! Whatever you have to say can wait till you close the door." She scowled as Rachel complied, averting her eyes to the ground as she backed out and shut the door.
"If you do not come out in exactly 3 minutes I'll send Brittany's sister in." Quinn spoke.
"You wouldn't!" Santana challenged.
"Oh no? Try me."
"Fine." Santana huffed, muttering under her breath as Brittany giggled as they heard Rachel and Quinn celebrating outside.
"Well played." Rachel said.
"Thank you." Quinn replied as they heard the footsteps walk down the hall. Brittany frowned as she fell next to Santana, propping herself up on her elbow and tracing patterns across her stomach.
"I don't think 3 minutes is enough."
"With the cold shower effect of Berry walking in on us?" She shook her head. "No." Brittany considered.
"Enough for a really good last girlfriend kiss?" she asked teasingly, poking at her.
"I went from sex to a kiss." Santana pouted.
"You didn't even want the sex!" Brittany said, laughing.
"Yeah well, once you started I felt differently." she huffed. "And I never didn't want the sex, I was trying to have some self control and honor your wishes." She looked at her seriously. "I always want the sex."
"It's okay. Tomorrow we can have unlimited amounts of sex that can continue until we come back."
"And then what?" Santana asked curiously, tangling her own hand into Brittany's and tugging it playfully causing Brittany to think.
"Then we can come home and have more unlimited sex for the rest of our lives." She said proudly and Santana smiled, meeting her for a quick kiss.
"I guess that's not such a bad trade." She mused. "So can I still have the kiss?" Brittany smiled.
"Of course." She said, leaning down to meet her lips as she slid a hand gently across her cheek and behind her neck, cradling her head.
Santana quickly reached up, tangling her fingers in her hair and kissing her back, putting as much into it as she possibly could as she pushed her tongue past Brittany's lips. They continued to trade kisses for a few moments until they heard a knock.
"This is a warning. You have one more minute and I'm sending Kelly in." Quinn said sternly.
Brittany chuckled as she pulled back and looked down at Santana's face that was covered with annoyance.
"Why don't you get some clothes on and walk me out?" Santana sighed and let Brittany pull her to her feet, trading soft kisses as she threw a t-shirt and pajama pants on. "Come on." Brittany said, grabbing her hand and guiding her down the hall where they came to a stop behind the couch. She wrapped her arms around Santana as she stood behind her.
"Finally." Kelly huffed. "Glad you managed to pry yourselves off each other for a minute."
"Hey, I don't want to hear it from you too." Brittany commented to her now 16 year old sister as she rested her chin on Santana's shoulder, swaying them back and forth. "We ready to go?"
"We have been ready for nearly an hour." Rachel commented. "Someone has been dragging their feet and looking for excuses not to leave." Brittany just shrugged.
"Can you blame me?" she smiled, pecking Santana's now hot and red cheek.
"You guys are so gooey it's gross." Kelly commented, before standing and grabbing her things.
"You're just jealous." Brittany said sticking out her tongue, as Rachel also got ready to go. They all said goodnight and Santana pulled Brittany back for one more kiss.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Brittany's eyes sparkled as she smiled down at her and Santana bit her lip.
"You bet. Don't be late." She smirked and Brittany pecked her lips once more.
"Are you kidding? I'd be there now if I could." Love you."
"Love you too." Santana nodded fondly and they exchanged happy grins before Brittany disappeared down the hall and Santana shut the door behind her.
"So," Quinn said from the couch as Santana stepped back into the room, "drink?" she offered, holding up her glass and Santana just laughed.
"We had to practically drag you home last night from the bachelorette. How are you drinking?"
"It's my best friends' wedding weekend, I can drink as much as I'd like." She smiled, sipping her wine. "Besides, a little wine never hurt anyone. Santana sighed and sunk down on the couch next to her. "You ready?"
"Of course." Santana huffed, pouring herself a small glass and sitting back.
"No nerves?" Quinn asked, raising her eyebrows. "Not even a little?" Santana shrugged.
"Only because I want everything to be perfect for her." She shook her head. "But why would I be nervous about marrying Brittany?" Quinn smiled broadly.
"You wouldn't." she answered softly, clinking glasses with her before they took sips and sat in comfortable silence for a few moments. "So…what do you want to do for your last night as a single woman?" she teased and Santana laughed. "Clubs? Strippers? Booze?"
"Polish off this bottle of wine and gossip behind everyone else's backs?" Santana smirked and Quinn laughed.
"Perfect," she stood. "Be back, bathroom." Santana smiled and sat back, looking down at her buzzing phone.
Brittany (9:43): I may or may not have left you an extra bottle of your favorite wine on the counter. I'm sure Quinn opened the first one already. :-)
Santana smiled and shook her head before replying.
To Brittany (9:44): How'd you know that? :-p Thanks baby, you're the best…but I'd rather be drinking it with you.
Brittany (9:44): Me too…I'll miss you tonight, but I can't wait for tomorrow…I've waited forever for this…
To Brittany (9:45): I know you have…me too ;-) I'm not going to sleep right without you next to me…
Brittany (9:46): Me neither…but go enjoy hanging out with Quinn. It'll be tomorrow before you know it.
To Brittany (9:46): Ok, call me before bed?
Brittany (9:47): Like you even have to ask. :-)
Brittany was right, before either one of them knew it they were waking up early on Saturday morning and going full steam ahead with preparations for the big event. Quinn had Santana out the door by 10 AM and they met up with Mercedes, Santana's friend Jen, and her mom to have brunch and take care of their hair and makeup.
Similarly, Brittany found herself a little further uptown closer to the ceremony with her own bridal party members and mom, getting ready for the same event. By 3 PM everyone was mostly done and headed to their respective rooms to get dressed and take pictures before the ceremony itself.
Santana sat, looking out on the city as her friends scurried around behind her, enjoying champagne and chatting about their dresses. She looked back at them, smiling upon seeing her mother chatting with them. Even now she knew this wasn't the easiest thing for her, but she had come such a long, long way in the past few years, that Santana's couldn't help but feel a little choked up.
"Hey!" Quinn caught her, smirking. "Are you getting all emotional on me Lopez? What did we say? No ruining the makeup!" she teased. "Since when are you such a wimp?" Santana laughed and shook her head, carefully dabbing at her eyes.
"No, I'm fine…I'm just…." She shrugged. "I'm happy." Quinn gave her a wide grin and pulled her in for a hug. There was a knock at the door and Jen got up and opened it only to find Rachel on the other side.
"Good afternoon ladies, I was wondering if I might have a moment with the bride to be." She smiled and they looked to Santana who nodded as Rachel stepped in and they made their way into the bedroom of the suite they'd been using to prepare.
"I appreciate you trying to return the favor but I'm definitely not having a freak out about walking down the aisle." She said with a smile and Rachel laughed.
"Nor would I expect you to." She said, assuredly. "However, though I'm standing on the other side of the aisle this evening I'd like to just acknowledge that I consider you as much of my friend as Brittany and I'm very proud to be a part of this wedding for both of you." Santana smiled.
"Thanks Rachel." She said honestly. "I appreciate that."
"Also, I've been sent over here to bring you something from your future wife." She said with a coy smile and Santana's eyes widened.
"She's not playing fair." Rachel laughed. "Her wedding gift isn't-"
"It's okay, it's not your wedding gift. And she anticipated you freaking out over this and asked me to explain that while you have been very secretive over your dress she sensed you were having trouble finding the perfect accessories." She pulled a box from behind her back and handed it to Santana who promptly opened it.
"Oh my god." Santana spoke softly, trailing her fingers over the matching necklace and earrings.
"It's so romantic." Rachel said with tears in her voice and Santana glanced at her warningly. "Sorry." Santana smiled, looking back down at the jewelry before looking back up to Rachel.
"You tell her she's crazy and she shouldn't be doing this." She sighed, smiling gently. "But tell her thank you…and that this is perfect. And that I love her."
"Ugh, trading secret messages back and forth." Rachel said, clutching her chest dramatically. "I feel like I'm in an old classic romance film." Santana frowned.
"Yeah, well you're actually in my life, so make sure you get the message right." Rachel nodded seriously and Santana took a breath before her expression softened. "How does she look?" Rachel grinned.
"How do you think?" she asked. "I'm not allowed to give details of course…but I'm certain you'll love it." Santana nodded.
"Me too." She whispered, putting the box down on the counter. She looked back up at Rachel with a hint of nervousness. "Is she okay? She's not nervous or anything, right?
"Santana," Rachel said gently. "Do I even need to justify that with a response?" She shook her head and Santana looked down sheepishly. "Of course she's not. She's extremely excited and hyper." Santana laughed.
"I suppose that's to be expected." Rachel nodded.
"Well, I better get back to her, maid of honor duties call." Santana nodded and Rachel stepped forward giving her a quick hug. "You look lovely Santana."
"Thank you Rachel. Really." She said and moved to change her earrings as Rachel headed to the door.
"Hey Santana." She called before leaving.
"Yeah?" she asked curiously and Rachel let a wide grin spread across her face.
"She looks beautiful." She said, causing a grin to overtake Santana's own face. "Absolutely stunning."
"Thanks." She smiled and swallowed with anticipation.
"Anytime."
Not too long after Rachel had headed back to her own suite Santana seemed to find herself standing with her dad, waiting for their cue as Quinn walked down the aisle.
"You ready?" He asked and she chuckled.
"I've never been asked that question more in my entire life than I have in the past few days." She sighed, taking a breath before looking at him and nodding seriously. "Totally."
"You're lucky you get to go first." He smiled.
"Why do you say that?" she asked curiously.
"Because you get to watch Brittany walk down the aisle. Trust me, that's a moment you will never forget." He winked and she breathed deep in anticipation.
"I won't." she agreed, before the organizer at the back gave them a nod and opened the door to the room, signaling them to proceed.
Her own walk down the aisle was a blur and before she knew it she was in front of the room, looking back as Brittany's side of the bridal party filed in. She chanced a glance at Quinn who smiled back in understanding.
"Breathe." She mouthed and Santana closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before turning her attention back to the closed door that creaked open in what felt like slow motion.
Finally she caught sight of a radiant Brittany, eyes intently focused back down the aisle at her as she made her way towards her and the rest of the room filtered out. She couldn't even begin to try and contain the smile that overtook her face, nor did she want to try and remembering her dad's word she tried her hardest to burn the image into her memory bank so it would never be forgotten.
Brittany eventually reached her and she pecked her dad lightly on the cheek before Santana did the same and took her hand in her own.
"You look so beautiful." She whispered.
"You look amazing." Brittany beamed back before they reluctantly turned their attention to the officiant who was ready to perform the ceremony.
As the short ceremony wore on and they traded their vows with certainty, they began to wonder how something that had taken so much preparation was almost done. Before they knew it they were slipping rings onto each other's fingers and the officiant was declaring them officially married.
Brittany laughed with joy at the words being spoken and the applause of their friends and family as she, reached up and grabbed Santana's face to pull her in for a kiss.
"I love you so much." She whispered, pulling back and leaning her forehead against Santana's with a wide grin.
"I love you too." She responded giddily, sighing when she felt Quinn nudge her.
"Sorry guys, but we have to roll." She said apologetically as they pecked each other once more and headed on to make their way outside and greet guests before leaving for pictures.
After getting into the limo with the rest of the bridal party and making their way to the water for pictures, they were ushered back to the hotel, where it was just about time for them to join the reception.
A few minutes later everyone was announced and they made their entrance into the reception room, joining each other for their first dance. The flashes of the cameras clicked away and though she could feel all eyes on them, Santana did her best to tune it out and focus on Brittany who bit her lip and smiled shyly at her before leaning in to kiss her sweetly. She pulled away and sighed.
"As much as I'm enjoying this, sometimes I wish I could make all these people disappear for about 5 minutes." Brittany said and Santana chuckled.
"What people?" Santana asked teasingly, putting on the most serious face she could. "I only see you." Brittany grinned bashfully.
"I guess I can play that game too." She said and Santana nodded, as the DJ called for other couples to join them and some of the attention filtered elsewhere.
"How are you doing? Is everything going the way you wanted it to?" Santana asked and Brittany nodded.
"It's perfect. Everything's perfect." She rolled her eyes playfully. "But I'm finally getting to marry you, so how could it not be?" Santana looked at her seriously as they continued to move, eyes trailing over her face as Brittany looked back at her curiously. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to Brittany's gently.
"I'm going to make you so, so happy." Santana whispered against her lips and felt Brittany pull her closer, kissing her back passionately, before pulling away just enough to look at her.
"You already do." She said. "Every day, just by being with me…by just existing." Santana smiled, her own cheeks heating up.
"Well, even more happy….everyday…forever." She whispered between kisses.
"Impossible." Brittany said swallowing hard as she laughed. "But so am I." She nodded seriously, looking back at Santana once more as they allowed themselves to get lost in each other once again as the music continued to play.
Across the floor Rachel smiled appreciatively as she watched them, swaying along to the music with her own arms around Finn.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked her softly.
"Just them." She said motioning to the lovestruck newlyweds a few feet away and he grinned. "They're so happy and I'm happy for them. I remember what that moment feels like."
"Me too." He smiled, squeezing her close and kissing her softly.
"It's the best." She said, leaning back and sighing. "Not that I don't still feel just as in love…maybe even a little more." She shrugged bashfully. "But there's still something to be said for the magic of that moment."
"Yeah." He said. "Sometimes I wish it didn't all go so quick. But it is pretty magical. I didn't realize how much until it happened."
"I'm so glad they finally got married. If anyone should be married it's them." She smirked and he chuckled.
"Totally. They're going to be great." He agreed.
"So two glee club romances made it too marriage…you think any others will take the plunge?" she asked playfully.
"I'm not sure." He mused. "But, I think we can agree it was the right two." He smirked and she tossed her head back in laughter.
"Absolutely." She smiled and thought for a moment. "I think Quinn and Mike probably." She said, nodding in their direction. "But that's it…actually it's a lot considering." He nodded.
"It is. If Puck hadn't already screwed it up with Sugar I might have added one more." He said with a sigh.
"One of these days Noah will learn to keep it in his pants if he wants to hang on to a good thing." She shook her head.
"Yeah…sometimes I think he'll never really learn." He shrugged as the song came to an end.
"Guess it's time for my toast." She said excitedly, leaning up to peck him once more. "Save me a seat?" she winked.
"I think I can work that out." He grinned.
"She looks so happy." Finn said, shaking his head as he came to stand next to Santana who was watching Brittany jump and dance around the floor with her friends as music blasted through the hall.
"I know." She nodded and smiled. "Planning on keeping it that way." She said turning to him and smiling as she sipped her champagne.
"You look pretty happy too." He said nudging her with a goofy grin.
"Because I am." She answered easily and sighed. "What a day."
"It's overwhelming, isn't it?" he asked.
"You're not kidding." She said. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I never really got it with weddings until I saw yours." She chewed on her lip for a moment. "It just made me realize how much I wanted that for us, something that special."
"Santana Lopez." He stated in shock. "Are you going soft on me? Did you actually just compliment me and Rachel?" She whipped her head around at him and scowled.
"If you breathe a word of this conversation to the midget, I swear to god, I'll make sure you're on disability for years." She said seriously and he laughed, raising his hands.
"Okay, okay, I get it, you still have your edge." He sighed and she rolled her eyes. "Only teasing."
"I just didn't think it mattered for a while. But I started to realize that it does."
"Yeah, I was kinda the same way."
"Your wedding was cool." She admitted and he smirked.
"Yours isn't too bad either."
"Santana!" Brittany called, running over and tackling her. "You need to come dance." She said catching her breath.
"Okay." She smiled, kissing her gently.
"You too Finn."
"Oh no, I don't think anyone here needs to see that." He laughed.
"Don't be silly, no one cares." She waved him off. "You ready to go out there?" she asked turning back to Santana.
"You guys go for it. I'm going to go do a shot with the boys." He winked, turning towards the bar and calling out at Jeff.
"Come on." Brittany said, tugging on her hand, but Santana stood firm, causing her to turn back. "What?" she laughed, looking her over with questioning eyes.
"I haven't really seen you for a while. Just wanted to take a minute."
"I've been right out on the dance floor." She answered as if it was obvious and Santana chuckled.
"I know baby, I just wanted a minute alone." She clarified.
"Oh!" Brittany said with realization. "I totally didn't even catch that!" she said, wrapping her arms around her waist and holding onto her tightly. "I've been wanting that too." She said, leaning in to rest her forehead against Santana and nuzzle their noses together.
"You're pretty wound up." Santana commented as Brittany was still practically bouncing.
"There's just so much going on." She giggled, kissing her quickly. "Lots of people and songs and things to do and pictures to take and lots of emotions. I mean, I can hardly decide what I want to do next." Brittany rambled.
"I know." Santana said, smiling at her adoringly. "As long as you're happy."
"Totally, I mean, sometimes I want to cry and sometimes I want to laugh and sometimes I want to dance and sometimes I want to socialize, but it's always for happy reasons." She said re-assuringly.
"Good."
"Girls." They heard a familiar voice call and broke apart to turn and face Santana's mother who had walked up behind them. Santana grasped Brittany's hand, swallowing a little nervously. Even though she was happy for them, sometimes it always seemed like her mom had the uncanny ability to say the wrong thing and it wasn't what she wanted. Definitely not right now.
"How are you two enjoying your day?" she asked pleasantly.
"It's like a tornado." Brittany said cheerfully. "There's so much going on and it's overwhelming but I love it!" She bit her lip in thought. "But not a bad tornado that ruins everything. It's the opposite. It's like a tornado of good stuff! I'm so happy."
"Yeah, it's a lot." Santana agreed laughing. "But it's great."
"Try to enjoy it." Claudia spoke. "It's over before you know it. Although you still have a nice honeymoon to look forward to."
"I can't wait!" Brittany said, bouncing on her heels.
"I know we haven't had much time to talk today. I just want to say, I'm very proud of you Santana." Claudia spoke, looking around at the party around them. "It took me a very long time to get here and I regret that, but I'm proud of you. You're doing great things with your life. You have a good career. And you've chosen a wonderful woman to spend your life with." Santana swallowed hard and Brittany felt the grip she had on her hand tighten.
"Mom…" Claudia shook her head.
"It's true Santana." She smiled with uncharacteristic tears in her eyes and looked to Brittany. "And I'm sorry for all the trouble I gave you before Brittany. You've always been a second daughter to me and I let my opinions and fears blind me from that for a while, but there isn't a person in this world I'd rather have taking care of my daughter than you." She said and Brittany could feel her chin begin to tremble. "I started to see that when you came to see me that night the first time we visited. That took a lot of courage to do. And I admire you for that." Santana beamed, a few stray tears falling freely. She felt a sudden movement next to her and was surprised to see Brittany lunging towards her mother, throwing her arms around her.
"Thank you." Brittany said. "Thank you." She said, hugging her tightly as she sobbed. Santana scrunched her face in confusion at the sudden outburst of emotion from her wife, but rubbed her back soothingly until Brittany stood up once more, shaking her head as she wiped her eyes.
"Ugh, I've been doing so good at not crying much." She laughed. "I guess it all had to come out eventually."
"It's okay sweetheart." Claudia said, sniffling slightly herself before glancing back towards her table. "I better get back to your father before he steals my coffee." She winked, squeezing both their hands. "We'll see you later…and girls," she turned and they looked at her curiously as she spoke in a more serious tone. "I expect grandchildren before I'm too old to do anything with them." She smirked and headed off to her table, leaving them in shock.
"Who is that woman and what has she done with my mother?" Santana asked.
"I like her like this way better." Brittany chuckled through her tears.
"Hey." Santana said, grabbing her waist and turning Brittany to face her. "Are you okay?" she said, searching Brittany's eyes. "You got really emotional there." Brittany blushed slightly and looked to her feet.
"Yeah, sorry, I don't know what came over me."
"Don't apologize." Santana said, tilting her chin back up, so she met her eyes. "Don't apologize." She said once more.
"I just…" she shook her head. "I don't know. I guess you've always been dealing with all of this…everything with your family and I just tried to be there for you, you know?"
"You were. You were the only thing that held me through all of that Britt."
"No, I know but I guess…I guess till your mom just said it now I didn't let myself fully realize how much I wanted to hear that too. It was about you and I didn't want to make it about me, but…" she sniffled again, trying to fight back her tears once more and failing as Santana squeezed her waist. "I really wanted your mom to accept me too and I'm just so happy she does."
"Aw Brittany." Santana said sweetly, wrapping her arms around her and holding her close to her body. "Of course you did baby." She spoke gently into her ear. "I'm really happy too. That's all I ever wanted from her too." She felt Brittany squeeze her tighter and she let her calm for a few moments before pulling back to smile at her, wiping her eyes gently.
"Am I a mess?" Santana just shook her head.
"You're gorgeous." Brittany rolled her eyes.
"You always say that."
"And?" Santana asked. "I always think it. Are you worried about what anyone else thinks?" Brittany shook her head. "So you're set."
"Thank you."
"Do you have any idea how much I love you?" Santana asked and Brittany swallowed.
"Yeah…because I love you just as much."
"Not humanly possible…but if you say so." Santana smirked. "Want to go dance with me now?" she asked as a slow song began to play.
"You were just waiting for a slow song to play." Brittany pouted.
"I promise I'll stay out there for the next one too." She said with certainty.
"Okay." She paused and looked around. "Ugh, but shouldn't we go talk to people?" Brittany said guiltily and Santana just shrugged.
"I've talked to enough people to last me a lifetime. But if you want we can do that more later. Right now, I just want to dance with my wife."
"Well, when you put it like that…" Brittany trailed, accepting her hand and letting herself be led to the dance floor where they swayed slowly to the music.
"Oh god, I'm so glad to be alone." Brittany said with a sigh as she walked back into the bedroom of the complimentary suite they'd received for the night in new lingerie she'd recently bought for the occasion.
"Me too, that was exhausting. You know I'm not much of a people person and one full day of acting pleasant to everyone is more than enough. I just want to be with you." Santana rambled, fiddling with her phone from the bed as she turned it off and tossed it on the nightstand. Her eyes lifted to rest on Brittany and she felt her mouth drop. "Holy sweet hell." She spoke, sitting up and Brittany smirked. "You look so freaking sexy."
"I could say the same." Brittany said motioning towards her own new red underwear.
"Come here. Please." Santana choked out, holding her arms out as Brittany smiled, crawling over the bed to straddle her lap.
"You sure you're not tired? You want to just call it a night?" she teased as she rested her arms around her neck.
"I'm sure." She said, leaning forward to place soft kisses across Brittany's shoulder. "I've been waiting to touch you all day."
"Mmm." Brittany gasped. "Me too." She said, tilting her head back to allow Santana more access, which she gladly took.
"You were so incredible today." She spoke into her skin and Brittany lifted her hand to her cheek to pull her back so she could look into her eyes.
"So were you." She said. "You made my dreams come true." Santana smiled through clouded eyes.
"That's all I wanted to do." She said, leaning in to peck at her lips. "Because you make mine come true…every…day." She spoke between kisses as she felt Brittany's hand travel to her neck and lean in to deepen the kiss, pushing her tongue past Santana's lips easily and guiding her down so that they fell back onto the bed.
Brittany let her hands trail down Santana's body as she kissed her, delicately tugging at the waistband of her underwear so that she could pull them down, before pausing to let Santana do the same with her own. She leaned up, guiding her hands underneath the camisole that Brittany wore before lifting it over her head, placing soft kisses across her stomach and chest as the new flesh appeared.
Taking advantage of the position, Brittany reached around to unhook Santana's bra and leaned back to slide it off of her and toss it onto the floor. She pressed her palm to her shoulder to push her back down gently and smiled lovingly down at her before bringing her lips in between her breasts in a delicate kiss and placing kisses across each. She lifted her head and brought her mouth back up to Santana's once more.
"I am so, so in love with you." She said, leaning up on her arm as she brushed Santana's soft hair back with the other.
"I'm so in love with you too." She responded just as seriously, meeting her gaze with equal intensity.
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. This…us, this is everything to me. You are everything to me." Santana smiled, trying to suppress the hot tears she felt at the back of her eyes at the intensity in both Brittany's gaze and words.
"Brittany I-" she shook her head, feeling stupid for letting her emotions get the best of her and swallowing them back.
"Don't hide Santana." She said, gently running her finger back and forth across her cheek soothingly. "It's okay." She said, understanding exactly what was happening and leaning down to kiss the small tear away from the corner of Santana's eye as it began to fall. She smiled back down at her.
"You are the only thing that matters to me and I'm so happy today." Brittany smiled down and kissed her once more, starting out slowly, but quickly increasing the pace and intensity as she slid her hand up and down Santana's side.
She felt Santana, trail her tongue across her lips and instantly opened them to grant her access as they traded kisses, trying their best to show the other how they felt. Santana reached up and palmed her breast and Brittany gasped into her mouth, pressing her body harder into the one below her and grinding her hips down, causing Santana to gasp back. She adjusted slightly, bringing her hand down to part Santana's legs and not hesitating in sliding her fingers through the slick heat.
"I need you." Santana breathed into her lips as Brittany pulled back and brought her mouth down to suck and lick at her left nipple. "Oh god, Brittany, I need you now." she groaned and she felt Brittany smile down into her other breast as she quickly slid two fingers into her.
Santana pressed her head back into the mattress in relief and sighed as her wife began to move in and out of her. The feeling of Brittany inside of her and the emotion of the day came together and caused Santana's body to tremble, feeling more intensity than she could ever remember before. She reached down to Brittany's face, her hand sliding behind her neck and pulling her up to look into her eyes as she reached her other arm lower and guided her own fingers up and into Brittany as well. She bit down on her lip and groaned as she watched Brittany's eyes widen and lock with hers before clamping shut as she rolled her head back.
Reaching up she licked and sucked at her wife's neck before making her way back to her lips and kissing her hungrily. She felt Brittany's thumb come up to circle and press against her clit and whimpered into her mouth, quickly mimicking her motions and causing Brittany to rest her head down against her shoulder as they continued to rock against each other.
Brittany nibbled and sucked her way across her ear and neck as they continued. The rush of emotions still swallowing them, Santana felt herself getting close after a few more minutes and increased her motions, closing her eyes and letting out a moan as she felt Brittany begin to tighten around her hand as well.
"Baby, look at me." She whispered and Brittany lifted her head, kissing Santana passionately as they both moved closer towards the edge. They continued to trade kisses and Brittany pulled back looking deeply into her eyes as she scooted a hand up to brush across Santana's cheek and lips before leaning back down on it for support.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too." Santana said immediately. "I love you so much." She said squeezing her hand that still rested on her neck and pressing against Brittany's clit, watching her face distort with pleasure as she went tumbling over the edge and allowing herself to easily follow at the sight.
They slowed their motions as they came down from their highs and Brittany collapsed down next to her, cuddling into her side as they traded lazy kisses. Santana let out a contented sigh as she let her head fall back against the pillow and Brittany giggled.
"I've totally been waiting for that all day." She said nuzzling into Santana's neck and placing a quick kiss there.
"You're telling me. I've been waiting since last night." She said, reaching to pull the sheet up over them and running her hand up and down Brittany's arm. "That was a tease."
"Yeah…" Brittany said, recalling the moment. "That was kind of messed up." She laughed and leaned up a little to look at her, a wide, gloating smile spreading across her face.
"What?" Santana giggled, grabbing at her sides. "What's that face? You're scaring me. What are you scheming?" Brittany fought off the tickles and squirmed.
"Nothing, nothing, I swear!" she said through her laughter and Santana let up, allowing Brittany to catch her breath. "I wasn't going to do anything bad. I just…" she bit her lip. "you're finally my wife." She said proudly and Santana smiled, caressing her cheek.
"Yeah, I know." She said softly. "I'm pretty excited about that too." Brittany looked at her thoughtfully, tracing her lips softly with her index finger before leaning down to kiss them once more.
"Sorry, I can't stop doing that." She said and chuckled.
"That's okay, me neither. But I think now that we're newlyweds it's acceptable for us to be really cheesy and constantly all over each other for at least a couple of months."
"Score!" Brittany cheered. "Now we have a valid excuse." Santana laughed, nodding.
"Yep." She said and they sat in comfortable silence for a moment, drinking in the extremely content feeling for a little while longer. After a while Brittany yawned and looked at her apologetically.
"I'm so tired." She frowned. "But I want to stay up and be with you and make love to you and cuddle and everything else." She protested and Santana kissed her re-assuringly.
"It's okay sweetie, we have all the time in the world." She said squeezing her tightly. "Besides, we have to get up in a few very short hours and get to the airport."
"I'm so excited to see Hawaii!"
"Me too." She agreed. "And it's only you and me there for the whole time so we have plenty of time to do all those things. It's been a long day, we can get some sleep." Brittany frowned, but her eyes felt heavy.
"I guess you're right. But I'd still rather do all of that now." She yawned again and kissed her wife goodnight.
"Me too…but don't worry…I'm don't plan on being anywhere public for at least the first 3-5 days." Brittany laughed.
"Do you think it's sad everything is over already?"
"But it's not babe. This is just the start of everything. You know that."
"No, I know, I know. But I just mean like the wedding part. It's been all this work and bang it's done."
"It was worth it." Santana said, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "It was totally worth it. And the best part hasn't started."
"Yeah, you're right." She trailed off sleepily. "Goodnight Mrs. Pierce-Lopez." She said, smile evident in her voice.
"Night Mrs. Pierce-Lopez." Santana whispered back happily, letting herself drift to sleep at the sound of the even breathing next to her.
