Some Ships Will Never Sink
I awoke to the smell of breakfast being made. I smiled, until I realized the couch was missing a certain blonde cheerleader, who just now happened to be my girlfriend. I stood and walked to the kitchen. Brittany was standing there, hair pulled back into a lazy ponytail that she managed to make look good. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her.
"Finally awake?" she said, turning to quickly kiss my cheek.
"Yeah, you're making breakfast?"
"Mmhmm. Eggs, bacon, and pancakes." She said as she flipped one of the pancakes.
"You're amazing." I told her, leaning against the counter.
"I try."
We ate our breakfast together in the sunlight on my back deck. It was a perfect Saturday in the fall, leaves starting to turn red and gold, but not cold enough to make me hate everything.
After dinner, we went up to my room. I got my laptop out and we watched our old videos and looked at all the stupid pictures we'd taken together in the years we've known each other. Britt cuddled up to me and I rested my head on hers, comfortable enough to fall asleep. We were looking at old pictures of everyone in the Glee Club and laughing. Who knew Sam had a buzz cut and Mercedes didn't wear a weave? Our laughter was interrupted by a soft knock on the door and my mother stepping into my room.
"I thought you two would be in here."
"Mom, look at how fat Mike was as a little kid."
"Later, San." She said with a smile in her voice. "I wanted to talk to you both before I leave for work."
"About what?" Britt asked, finding my hand with hers under the blanket.
"You know I trust both of you very much, right?"
Britt and I both nodded, confused.
"Well, now that you two are dating, things might be a little different." My mom said, biting the inside of her lip.
"What are you talking about?" I knew where she was going with this but I really didn't want to hear it.
"I spoke with your Dad, Santana, and he's very glad that you've found a girl that makes you happy, but we both think it's better if you aren't alone as much as you used to be. I hate to do this to you but I'm sure Brittany's parents would agree."
"Oh God did you tell them already?" Britt asked.
"No, honey. We thought that should be something you do together." She said, putting her hand on Brittany's shoulder.
"Are you saying that you don't trust Britt and I alone anymore? It's not like us dating changes anything, really." I squeezed Britt's hand.
"Santana, of course I trust you. I never let any of your boyfriends sleep over."
"But this is different! Mom we've been spending the night with each other for years. It's not like it would be any different than it's always been."
"We don't want anything happening!"
Brittany shrank back into my arms the slightest bit. She gets anxious when people yell. I looked at her and rubbed small circles on her palm with my thumb.
"Nothing's going to happen, Mom. Even if we did, I can't get pregnant or anything."
My mom sighed. "San…we just need to be parents. I'm sorry. You two can hang out, I just don't want to be alone, okay?"
"Oh so we can never go on a date?" I said, smirking.
"You know what I mean. I have to go to work soon, were you two planning on telling your parents, Brittany?"
"I thought if I just kissed her in front of them a few times they'd get the hint." Britt smiled and looked at me.
"Britt," I laughed, "Maybe we should just tell them."
"We'll go to my house later and tell them, okay?" she said, leaning her head on my neck.
"That sounds good." I told her. "Is that okay with you?" I asked my mom.
"Of course it's okay with me. Now I have to leave so text me and tell me how Brittany's parents feel about all this. Love you both." She said, leaning down to hug us.
"Love you too mom, bye."
"Bye!" Britt called as she walked out the door.
I heard the front door shut and turned to face Brittany. I looked into her perfect blue eyes and leaned my forehead against hers. I took both of her hands in mine and kissed her.
"I've been dreaming of being able to do that for years." I said against her lips. I felt her smile and sat up, pulling her with me until she was sitting against the wall and I was straddling her legs. She ran her hands through my hair before kissing me, pulling me as close as possible.
"I love you, San. I know it's kind of early to say it but I feel like we've been together forever." Britt said, looking into my eyes and wrapping her arms around my waist.
"I love you too, Britt. I have for a long time. I really do feel like you're the one…I just want to be with you forever."
She smiled at me and we sat like that for a while, lost in our kisses, wrapped in each other's arms. I could've stayed there for the rest of my life and been completely happy. Brittany broke the silence.
"We need to go tell my parents, San." She said, kissing my jawbone.
"I know. Should we go over there now?" I said, wanting to stay in this spot forever.
"I kind of want to get it over with."
"Okay," I kissed her. "Let's go."
