A tap at the door woke Santana from her deep slumber. The door opened and a maid entered carrying a large breakfast tray. The young maid had deposited the tray on the small table near a window and exited again before Santana had chance to respond to what was happening and untangle herself from the blondes embrace. As the door clicked shut Santana gently kissed Brittany on the lips drawing her from her slumber. "Buenos días bello" Santana said sleepily as the dazzling blue eyes opened immediately finding her gaze.
"What time is it?"
The sun way beamed though the large windows giving the room a soft morning glow.
Santana reached for her iPhone reading the time, "it's just past eight o'clock. How about we eat some of the breakfast that was just delivered and then..." Santana wiggled her eyebrows suggestively smirking at her own brilliance.
Brittany gave Santana a firm kiss on the lips "you always were the brains"
"And you have always been the beauty"
Brittany giggled. "I think I like the effect Florida has on you".
It was nine thirty when there was another loud rap on the door.
"Just a moment" Santana shouted nervously, jumping out of bed still in a post orgasmic daze, and pulling on a robe. She opened the door to be faced with a cheerful Arizona.
"Good morning girls" she said, barely able to see past Santana but with little doubt in her mind what she had interrupted. "Callie and I are planning a day at the beach to recover from travelling yesterday and we wandered if you wanted to join us. Before Santana could answer Brittany bounced out of bed apparently forgetting her current lack of garments and hugged Santana from behind, her arms wrapped loosely around the shorter girl's neck. "Can we go San? It's been ages since we have had a beech day?"
Santana twisted her neck to the right smiling, wanting to see the excitement on Brittany's face. "Of course we can B".
"Awesome, so can you be ready in half an hour? We will meet you downstairs". With that Arizona skipped off back down the corridor to Callie who was lounging on the bed in her white bath robe, her hair bundled neatly in a fluffy white towel. Arizona giggles as she closed the door and made her way over to the bed. "I'm so going to win our bet".
Callie drove the three other women to a nearby beach. Pulling into a small car park they could see the ocean glistening in the morning sun just beyond a small row of palm trees. The car park was near full yet the beach wasn't over crowded. Unloading the days beach paraphernalia, including a picnic lunch the Torres cook had put together, beach mats, a Frisbee, towels and bags of sun lotion and books Callie led the party to an area of pure white sand about twenty metre's away from the lapping waves.
Before they could even set up their beach mats properly Brittany dragged Santana into the sea, jumping the first three approaching waves before diving into the water through the fourth. Santana stood up to her ankles, laughing as she watched her friend merrily splash about. "San, please come in properly. It is so nice and you can see the fishes" Brittany pouted "please!"
Santana knew it was futile to try and resist so she sprinted the rest of the way into the water, coping the blonde's wave dive. As Santana surfaced she ensured that she came up right in front of the dancer, wrapping her arms around her neck and enjoying the felling of their salty wet skin rubbing against each other. The girls bobbed in silence, lost in each other's eyes. Brittany could reach the sea bed and bounced slowly, like she was walking on the moon. Santana happily wrapped her legs around the taller girl and went with in an almost dance.
Callie and Arizona propped themselves up on their elbows looking out to sea through their dark glasses. "I'm so winning this bet" the blonde smiled watching the young lovers.
"You said they would admit to being in a relationship – they might just be very close friends".
"Well I think they are super cute" Arizona lay back down on her hat reading under the shade cast by her massive hat. Callie lay on her stomach, the baby bump still barely perturbing, and opened an Orthopaedic Journal.
The two younger girls ran back up to their little camp, flopping down next to Callie and Arizona. "The water is beautiful, you are so lucky growing up around here" Santana sighed as she took another look out towards the ocean before reaching for her Prada sunglasses out of a beach bag.
"San, can you..." Brittany handed the young Latina the sun lotion and lay on her tummy, her head happily tilted to the side so she could see Santana.
"Sure Britt Britt" Santana squeezed the cold lotion onto her own hand to warm it before straddling Brittany and massaging it into the blondes long peach soft back. Santana effortlessly untied the back of Brittany's polka dot bikini top, pushing the fabric out of her way. Running her hands up the length of the dancer's extensive spine she ran her hands back down her sides, her fingertips taking in the soft skin of Brittany's breasts as they travelled causing a small moan to escape from the blonde. Santana quickly added more lotion to her hands and set about ensuring every inch of the fair girl was covered, her toned arms, paying particular attention to her arm pits knowing full well they affect this would have on the quivering body beneath her and her long tanned legs.
"You two are so cute" Arizona said as she threw her book back into the bag and retrieved another, quickly scanning the back cover before opening the first chapter.
Santana looked at the older blonde and smiled nervously as she lay down looking at what Callie was reading. "Wow that looks intense!" Santana stared at the page her aunt was reading.
Callie giggled. "Yeah I guess. It's an idea for a new method for knee replacement in athletes".
"So are you a doctor?"
"Yep, I'm an Ortho Surgeon" Callie grinned as she continued to read
"Don't forget your a not just any surgeon you a 'rock star with a scalpel'!" Arizona chipped in laughing. "Santana you should observe one of your aunt's surgeries some time. She plays metal and hard rock in the OR while she cut's limbs off and drills. As crazy as it sounds she is the best Ortho attending in North America". Callie looked back at her girlfriend smiling at the gushing blonde.
"So what do you do back in Seattle Arizona?" the Latina looked at Arizona as the women through another abandoned novel back in the bag. "I'm a peads attending at the same hospital as Calliope, I treat the tiny humans".
Santana nodded, being a peads surgeon suited Arizona, and she could imagine how much her young patients must love her at a time when they are most scared.
"Can I have a look through this?" Santana asked timidly picking up another journal.
"Of course, help yourself. Are you interested in medicine?"
Santana shrugged as she flicked through the first pages of Drug Company advertising before settling on an article about growing Cartledge.
The four women lay in the sun, engrossed in their own reading matter and thoughts, each feeling the heat of the ray's tighten their warming skin. Brittany pulled a small sketch book out of her bag and started lazily sketching Arizona in her big floppy hat.
"Callie, can I ask you a question about using chondrocytes to grow replacement knee menisci and its applied mechanical strength?"
"Of course, what are you thinking?" Callie looked over to her niece in awe as the young girl was obviously grasping the entire concept.
Santana explained her thought and Callie grabbed a small paper napkin and a pen and scribbled a diagram quickly. "Like this?" she asked.
"Sort of but more like... Britt Britt baby can I have you sketch pad a minute?"
"of course honey" Brittany replied stopping drawing the sleeping blonde next to her and handing the pad over before resting back down on her arms that cushioned her face, she looked at the two Latina's deep in conversation as Santana drew something to show her aunt.
"Santana is a very smart girl". Brittany looked at Arizona who apparently wasn't asleep all along.
Brittany wore a huge smile. "Yes she is, she just doesn't realise it all the time".
"What do you mean?"
"She doesn't realise how smart she is. She thinks that the only way she will get out of Lima is to be a Cheerio and be popular so she can get a cheerleading scholarship but she could do anything. She always does her homework so quickly just so she can help me try and understand mine".
Arizona nodded and bit her lower lip momentarily. "You seem like a smart girl too Brittany, how do you find school?"
"It's fun I guess. I love dancing and singing in glee but I can't really concentrate very well so I can't follow what the...oh look ice cream"
Arizona nodded slowly before skipping out of her own thoughts. "Come on Brittany let's go get ice creams and when we get back maybe these two will stop talking shop".
"Wait, their talking about shopping?"
The rest of the day at the beach became much more playful, swimming in the sea, tossing a Frisbee about and eating massive amounts of ice cream. As the mid day temperature started to drop slightly they packed up and headed back to Callies car, and the promise of a much more relaxed BBQ dinner waiting for them.
Arizona, Brittany and Santana sat around a reasonably small table in a sheltered part of the landscaped garden not overlooked by the house. Callie walked up to the group with a board game under her arm.
"Well, everyone else is out catching up with various friends and my parents are at a charity dinner so it is just us for the BBQ. What do you say we have a game of monopoly before we eat?"
"Yeah, I love monopoly. I never win but it is the best game" Brittany bounced in excitment
"I think this will be a bit different to how we play it Britt".
"What do you mean different. Go get changed you need to dance".
Callie and Arizona look sceptically at the two girls. "Dance?"
"Yep, Santana dances and I give her my monopoly money so she can buy all the luxury squares and then if I dance she gives me all her single dollar bills".
The entire statement had left Brittany's mouth before Santana could stop her, leaving Santana to blush deep red.
"That does sound like more fun but that's how you play it with two people. When there are four of you your keep your cloths on" Arizona explained softly before turning to Callie "We have to get Monopoly for our apartment".
Brittany turned out to be a natural tycoon when playing the 'traditional rules' and after two and a half of play, a fantastic supper and several beers Santana was about to give the tall blonde a lap dance so she could keep form mortgaging Park Lane and Mayfair.
Callie quickly tried to change the subject and shift attention from the game before she completely lost her bet with Arizona. Immediately clicking on to Callie's motives Arizona decides to make the most of the slightly intoxicated state of the minors to get an admission so she could prove she was right. She was usually enjoyed the superiority of being a very moral person but she liked being right even more.
"So you two are a really cute couple, how long have you been together?" Arizona asks as casually as possible, hoping the ease of the statement would make a declaration easier on the girls.
Santana immediately started her tipsy stammering "W-what makes you s-say that, we're not..."
"San, come on. If you can't even tell your gay aunt and her girlfriend then we really are in trouble. You keep talking about it being a secret because of people hurting us but right now that doesn't hold water"
Santana sighed and looked at her aunt; a lady that she had never met until yesterday and a lady that although she knew existed, she really knew nothing at all about. She wasn't sure shy she was looking at Callie for validation but she couldn't help it. Callie didn't know how to respond to the situation either but put her arm gently around her niece and kissed her forehead. "It looks like we have similar weakness for beautiful blondes" she smiled hoping to reassure Santana.
Callie looked over at Arizona for help. Arizona had know she was gay since she was in her early teens, in fact on some level she had always known, where as Callie had come to the realisation she was Bi in her early thirties. Arizona smiled knowingly back at her brunette who was still embracing her niece.
"That's awesome; you really do make a super sweet couple and I don't blame you at all for keeping it quiet from your school peers but in a year when you go to college it will be a world away from a small town high school and I can promise you it's such a liberating and freeing experience than being able to live openly after being stuck in the closet".
"I would like to be stuck in a closet" Brittany deadpanned "I could play dress up".
"Do you parents know?" Callie asked tentatively stroking the younger Latina's soft hair.
"No, they are so traditional, conservative and Catholic. What if they hate me and chuck me out? What if they hate me and hate Britt?"
Callie sighed. "OK, I'm going to tell you two stories and if that doesn't help Arizona can wheel out her 'good man in a storm' anecdote that seems to work wanders for all situations. First of all how much do you know about why your mum and dad fell out with the family?"
"Not a lot, I just know that mis abuelos didn't like my papi and they all fell out when they got married".
"OK, well you mum and I were close when we were growing up; we still talk fairly often on the phone now. Your mum met your dad when she was eighteen. He was at college doing pre med and was a couple of years older than her. They met at a party when he was down here visiting some friends. He came back to Florida for the summer, taking a job at the yacht club so he could see your mum every day and make some money. When your grandparents found out they were dating they were not happy at all, and your grandfather forbid the relationship. He thought your dad wasn't good enough for your mother and then there was their age, the fact your father was out spoken against organised religion and to a degree I think they had a problem with him not being from a noble line. Your parents couldn't face being apart when Juan was due to return to Columbia Uni. Your grandparents still believe they got married because your mother was pregnant with you but your mum and dad told me that they got pregnant with you so she could get married".
A tear ran down Santana's face. She never knew her parents were so in love and she never knew they were not married when she was conceived, scandal!
"Your parents know true love Santana and after going through what they when through and fighting for that love the way they did they would never stand in your way".
Santana nodded before reaching over, picking up Brittany's slender pale hand and kissing it, brushing her lips across the soft skin. "I want to tell them it just what if..." She let out a sigh.
"Let me tell you my second story". Callie rested her head on her girlfriends shoulder as she talked, relishing in her gentleness and warmth. "Arizona and I had been dating for a few weeks when my father made a visit to Seattle. I had not long got a divorced from George..."
"Wait you were married? To a guy?"
"Calliope is Bi Sexual" Arizona pointed out in her soft manner.
"Your grandfather saw George and threatened him. I told him the divorce wasn't all Georges fault and that I had been seeing other people before the papers were finalised too, mainly my friend Mark. Then he grabbed Mark around the neck threw him against the wall and threatened him. To get him to calm down I told him I was seeing someone and I was happy. That's not something I would usually admit too so it was a pretty big deal. He insisted on being introduced to the man that was making me so happy and I couldn't lie to him anymore so I take hold of Arizona and introduced them. It hit him like a ton of bricks"
"That must of hurt" Brittany winced at the idea of the crushing pain.
"He didn't take it well and to cut a long story short he cut me off. He took away my trust fund and froze my bank accounts so although I had a good job he left me nearly penniless. He made sure your aunt Aria and grandmother wouldn't talk to me. Only your mum stayed in touch because he had no hold over her".
"He seems so proud of you both now though, and he seemed so excited about the baby" Santana asked in a quizzical tone.
"He came back to Seattle a couple months later. I had got a promotion and things were going really well at work and especially well with Arizona. He brought a priest with him to try and make me see sense".
"Or to pray away the gay as you so eloquently put it" Arizona chimed, running her calming fingers through the beautiful raven hair.
"We got into a massive argument but somehow Arizona talked sense into him and he saw the light. He got over all his prejudice for me, for us and he accepted my happiness when he realised I was still the same person he had always known and loved. If he can do that Santana there is no way in the world your parents won't".
Santana took a deep breath. "To answer your question Arizona Britt Britt and I have been together for two months".
"Well, actually we have been exclusive for a year but Santana didn't know we were for the first ten months" pausing to look at Arizona she whispered "sometimes she's not that bright", before looking back at Santana "but we have been sleeping together since we were fifteen"
"Too much information Britt, remember use your filter" Santana said blushing slightly.
"Hola señoras" Carlos and Lucia hollered as they approached the small group of chatting women.
"How was the fundraiser?" Callie asked as much out of habit as a genuine interest in the stuffy black tie gala. "Same old crowd, same old conversation but your mother looked beautiful and we danced the night away" Carlos looked at his wife who shook her head at the older man's gushing and flattery. "So what are you ladies deep in discussion about out here?"
Santana blushed and immediately started to panic slightly before Brittany sensed her discomfort. "We are just telling Callie and Arizona about the Glee club we are in".
Santana breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you musical chica?" Lucia asked affectionately looking at her previously estranged granddaughter.
"Santana has the best voice in the club and she plays the piano and guitar but only when she thinks no one is watching her, it's totally hot".
"Carlos, go and get that thing we got in the auction and give it to Santana" Lucia said flipping her husband on the arm as if it was the most ridiculous thing that he was not already trekking back into the house to get the mystery object.
Lucia pulled up a chair whilst her husband was gone and started fussing immediately over her pregnant daughter. "Estoy muy orgulloso" she said, her eyes brimming as she ran her left thumb over Callie's cheek and reached for Arizona's with her right hand "tan orgulloso".
Carlos walked back to the group with a black leather guitar case, closely followed by a butler carrying a bottle of brandy, a large jug of water and glasses. As the bandy was offered to all Santana politely refused on behalf of herself and Brittany, she wasn't ready for any more alcohol induced slips this evening. Callie poured herself a glass of water whilst Arizona complimented Carlos on the excellent cognac.
Picking up the case once more Carlos handed it to Santana "We won this at the auction earlier and I had no idea what we were going to do with it. Your grandmother thought it was pretty!"
Santana rested the case on the table, taking in the 'Gibson' scrawled in the corner. She slowly unclipped the four silver clasps. She looked expectantly at her grandparents again before opening the lid. The guitar was a vision. It was a light cherry wood colour with a subtle sunburst finish. The pickguard was etched with exquisite birds hovering over flowers and a butterfly. The inlays in the frets set off the entire thing. Overwhelmed Santana looked at Carlos. "This is a Gibson Hummingbird, I couldn't"
"Nonsense Santana, will you play something for us?"
"I..." Santana stammered still taken aback by the unexpected gift.
"Play 'The Story' San. I love it when you sing that" Brittany smiled innocently.
Eager to get her hands on the instrument Santana firmly gripped the neck and eased it out of its case. Pulling her iPhone out of her pocket and opening up the right app she set to tuning the guitar, delighting in the tone each strings sound as she tightened each one. Grateful the case contained a Capo and plectrums she placed the capo on the fourth fret taking a deep breath before strumming the open strings once. She never played in public, only ever for Brittany. The panic could be seen clearly on her usually calm face.
Brittany softly reached Santana's face whispering "Just play it for me honey".
Another deep breath and Santana started picking the introduction. The start of the song pulled the adults into silence. Santana focused on Brittany who grinned back at her.
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true
I was made for you
Brittany's grin grew wider as Santana smiled back at her as she sang. Callie looked at Arizona who just mouthed 'awesome cute'.
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
Playing a small instrumental Santana was able to fully appreciate the guitar, the way her left hand wrapped so comfortably around the neck as her fingers dug into each chord. Her right hand fingers skimmed the stings, strumming to the beat that was dancing through her head. Her focus on her tall blonde had completely made the rest of the group undetectable to her.
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you
She sang slowly, strumming each chord once, her eyes still fixed on Brittany...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true
I was made for you
It's true
I was made for you
Brittany practically jumped up and down clapping and smiling at the young Latina.
"That was beautiful chica, you have such a beautiful voice" Lucia gushed, Carlos nodding enthusiastically in support of his wife.
"Wow, you are amazing. It looks like you have even more in common with your aunt. You will have to duet sometime" Arizona said happily.
"You could both sing at the wedding?" Lucia asked eagerly before backing off the subject once again with her husband's hand on her arm immediately calming her.
Arizona just grinned at Callie who simply shot her a bemused look. Changing the subject Callie suggested a day on the yacht for anyone that is interested. Carlos and Lucia decided they will leave it to the younger generation but Santana looks excited at the prospect.
"We can see if your mum and dad are up for it too. It will be fun. We can ask them and Aria and co at breakfast tomorrow".
Santana turned off the light to the en suite and sauntered over to the bed where Brittany was already tucked under the fine cotton sheet giggling as she read a comic. Santana swung her hips naturally as she walked in nothing but a pair of red French lace panties.
"Hay Britt Britt" Santana purred as she crawled into bed beside the blonde immediately falling into a warm embrace from the blonde who simply through her reading material on the floor.
"You sang beautifully tonight baby, I was so proud of you" Brittany whispered as she used her nose to gently nudge the Latina's face up so she could look into her eyes "and you were totally hot playing the guitar".
Santana captured the blonde's lips in a searing kiss, the contact immediately taking her own breath away. She immediately rested her forehead against the blondes "I love you so much" she spoke, still recapturing her breath.
"I love you too Sa..." before she could finish the soft pink lips we on her again, a hard, urgent kiss. Santana's hands immediately found Brittany's and pulled them to rest on the pillow above the cascade of blonde hair as she rolled herself onto the dancer. Santana's heart was beating stronger and faster than it usually did in these situations as she looked in the crystal blue eyes looking back at her. She slowly moved her leg between the taller girl's thighs so she herself was straddling the blondes toned limb. As they started to move against each other, Santana moved her head into Brittany's neck inhaling the sweet smell of vanilla and raspberries that was suddenly engulfing her senses. Peppering kisses down the side of the pale girls long neck, pausing to allow her lips to move over the beat of Brittany's pulse she continued until she worked her way around and back up the front of her throat, over her chin and back to the waiting lips. Their lips barely made contact before Santana let her tongue slip into Brittany's waiting mouth, their tongues gliding over each other, massaging and dancing in the warmth and familiarity of each other. A moan escaped Brittany and Santana was conscious of both of their matching arousals as the warm moistness could be felt though each of their panties. Santana kissed a trail down Brittany's long body, over her bare pert breasts, kissing and sucking each nipple as she made her steady journey, continuing over her firm ads to her panties, her hands trailing her route continuing her attentions. Santana kissed Brittany through her panties, taking a moment to bask in the sweet aroma of her lover's excitement. As she hooked her index fingers through the top of the panties Brittany arched up off the bed allowing Santana to work the fabric down her seemingly endless legs. When the white lace panties finally left Brittany over her slender feet Santana crawled slowly back up the blonde's body, kissing each leg in turn whilst pulling her own panties off with her free hand. As she reached Brittany's core she breathed in muttering "Britt" before nudging her nose softly across the waiting girls throbbing clit. She breathed in again, lost in the fragrance and feel of the writhing dancer. Her tongue followed her nose over the pulsation nub, licking and sucking firmly before finding her entrance and dipping into the pool of waiting nectar. As she circled the entrance with her long tongue moans escaped Brittany more and more, her hips bucking involuntarily.
Santana could feel the beat of her own mound against Brittany's leg and ground herself onto the muscular thigh as she continued. Brittany's long arms reached down to Santana's face, pulling the girls attention. "Come to me" she husked as she locked eye contact with the instance hazel orbs. Santana crawled back up to Brittany, her hand cupping and palming still. "I want to see you" Brittany said quickly before capturing and biting down on Santana's lower lip and kissing her again, tasting herself mixed with Santana. Still in the heat of the kiss Santana plunged two fingers hard into Brittany's wet entrance, pausing as the blonde took a sharp deep breath, her wide eyes open and locked on Santana's, their lips still coupled. Brittany nodded slightly as she once again held Santana's lower lip between her teeth, watching her smaller girl intently as Santana started to move her fingers, alternating between pumping in and out and curling her fingers hard and fast. Brittany kissed Santana again groaning with pleasure into her mouth before so could do any more that hold her own cheek against that of Santana's, her hand firmly gripped onto the back to the Latina's head. With the feeling of Brittany's walls contacting tightly on her fingers and the pulse in her thumb against her clit they both came undone at the same time, shuddering violently as Brittany came down from one of the most powerful orgasms she had ever experienced.
Santana rolled partially off Brittany and nuzzled into the crock of her neck, her leg still lazily draped over the blondes hot clammy body as she idly sucked on her wet fingers revelling in the taste. Brittany looked down at Santana, her fingers pulling the Latina's chin up so they could look at each other and they kissed again, a kiss that was full of love and passion but lazy and exhausted from their earlier hunger. Lying in silence gathering their thoughts from the intense experience Santana finally spoke.
"I want to tell my parents". Brittany nodded and kissed Santana's forehead. "I will be with you by your side whenever you decide the time is right".
The two girls curled into each other's embrace again and gave into sleep.
