Chapter 4! (: Thanks you for all the reviews, and for adding my story to your favorites!
HAPPY 4th of JULY :D
"I'd say I'm sorry for bumping into you, but I'm not" the blue eyed girl flashed a sincere smile. She had medium wavy blonde hair that feel just past her toned shoulders.
Santana quickly shook the thought, after realizing she was eyeing the girl
"I'm Brittany" The dainty blonde stuck her hand out.
"Santana" the Latina replied, never looking away from the other girls cobalt gaze.
Brittany shook the darker handed girls hand softly. "You know Manhattan is turning out to be prettier than expected." her mouth turned up in a grin, never taking her eyes off the shorter girl in front of her. Santana blushed even though she didn't know it was possible for ethnic people to blush. But somehow she definitely did.
"So you're new in town?" Santana coked her head. She knew she had never seen this girl around before. If she had she would have remembered someone as stunning as her. "I remember what that's like" Santana smiled and rolled her eyes as she thought back.
Brittany shook her head in agreement "Yea, I didn't want to sit around in an empty hotel room. Figured I'd get out, try to meet some new people." Brittany smiled as she spoke.
Something sparked inside of Santana. What is was, she had no idea, but it was a mix between anxiousness and eagerness. "Well consider me your first friend." Santana returned with a soft smile. In a sense all this was pretty unusual… the way she befriended the blonde so easily was far from the Latinas usual anti social 'I don't give a damn' persona, but Brittany somehow broke that barrier without even trying.
A comfortable silence fell as the two girls searched each other's eyes. Santana didn't know why, but something about Brittany was different. She felt like she could trust her, which was hard for Santana to do considering all the hell her mother put her through. Standing there with Brittany just made Santana feel fuzzy inside. She was so wrapped up in the blonde the whole scene with her mother, Kalli, and her new step daddy never crossed her mind while she was talking to her new "Friend". I guess you could say at that moment there was no bad in the world, it was just Santana and Brittany in there own little bubble.
"Umm, do you want to get a hot dog or something?" Brittany laughed breaking silence between the two; as she pointed towards a hotdog stand about 50 feet across the park.
Santana laughed softly brushing a piece of stray hair behind her ear. "Uhh, yea, sure" her breathe hitched a little. Santana followed beside the blonde trying her hardest not stare down at the taller girls legs but it was so hard not to. With each stride Santana found herself gazing down looking at Brittany's thigh muscles clench when her flats hit the ground. Santana needed to distract herself so she quickly asked Brittany a question.
"So Uhh, what made you move here?" The question came out in a bit of a rush, but hey it was a distraction.
"My dad just opened up a Bar slash grill about a couple blocks away, soooooo here I am" Brittany did a little shrug.
Santana laughed at the cute way Brittany drug out the word so. "Do you know what school are you going to?" Santana placed her hands in her back pocket, hoping that Brittany didn't notice her fidgeting.
"I just auditioned for Manhattan School of Arts"
"Manhattan Arts? I go there" Santana eyes widened with excitement.
"Really?" Brittany face matched Santana's with excitement. "Now I really hope I get in"
"You a singer?" Santana asked knowing that the answer would probably be no. She knew from Brittany's legs and shoulders that she was most likely a dancer but she couldn't let it slip that she had been looking that closely at the new girl.
"Nope, a Dancer" Brittany's hands were intertwined dangling in front of her as she walked. "I've been dancing ever since I could remember. I think I was dancing before I could even walk" Brittany let out a giggle watching her feet hit the grass. "I don't know what I would do if I couldn't dance" Brittany looked to Santana who was staring back interested in every word that she was saying. "I just feel so free when I dance, as if nothing can hurt me" Brittany's eyes sort of melted as she spoke.
A soft smile played on Santana's face. "I have a feeling you will definitely get into Manhattan Arts"
Brittany eyes light up again at Santana's Words. "You think so?" The blonde asked softly.
"Of course" Santana offered a sweet smile.
The two girls had been so wrapped up in their conversation they hadn't even noticed that they had made it to the hot dog vendor.
Realizing where they were Brittany broke her gaze with Santana "I'll get the hotdogs" the blonde used her thumb to point to the hot dog stand behind her.
"Oh, I guess I'll go get us something to drink" Santana rocked on her tiptoes, before turning in a different direction to find the drink stand.
Santana was placing a plastic lid on top of one of the drinks when she heard a certain blonde calling her name.
"Santana?"
"Kalli?" Santana's eyes widened. Wrong blonde. She had forgotten all about Kalli. Her girlfriend.
"Babe? Where have you been I've been looking all over for you?" Santana was about to speak up but was quickly cut off by Kalli's run on sentence. "Well it doesn't really matter, we have to go your dad said something about he got called in & he didn't want to leave you out here" Kalli took a breather as she reached for Santana's hand but the Latina quickly pulled her hand back, causing Kalli's face to instantly scrunch with confusion.
Kalli looked down at her hand to see if there was a bug on it or something. "What's wrong?" One of her eyebrows rose with suspicion.
Santana searched for an explanation but instead noticed the two drinks sitting on the wooden counter "Nothing! It's just that we just got here, and the fireworks haven't even started yet." A nervous smile played on Santana's lips. During her explanation she managed to slide one of the drinks behind her arm that was placed up on the counter.
Kalli searched Santana's eyes. "Okay? I get that but I have to be up early in the morning and I'm not going to leave you out here alone" Kalli reached for her girlfriends hand again but just like before Santana quickly drew her hand back.
She needed another lie quick.
"Yea I understand, but Uhh," Santana's eyes darted around looking for a reason to stay. "Quinn" Santana blurted out.
"Quinn?" Kalli asked.
"Yeah" Santana eyes widened as the story came to her "Uhh, Quinn just got here ill just get a ride back with her." The darker girl let out a small breathe.
Kalli's eyes narrowed at Santana. Something wasn't right about the story but Kalli didn't feel like arguing. "Fine. Whatever. I'll see you later" Kalli sighed as she leaned in to press a kiss to Santana's cheek. Santana closed her eyes when she felt Kalli's lips melt onto her cheek. It didn't feel right. It burned for some reason.
"Bye" Santana whispered.
She watched Kalli disappear into the crowd again before looking down at the two drinks. "What am I doing?" She thought about Kalli. She loved her, Right?
"Talking to cups now?" Brittany laughed as she held the two hot dogs in her hand. Santana turned around forcing a smile to her face.
"You okay? Brittany asked sitting the two hotdogs down on the counter next to the cups. There was a smile on Santana's face, but the blonde noticed it wasn't as bright as it was earlier.
"What? Yea its nothing I'm fine" Santana reassured with a smile.
"You sure?" Brittany caught Santana's deep brown eyes. "I mean I'm not boring you am I? Brittany teased.
"Believe me, this the most fun I've had in a while." Santana's thoughts drifted from Kalli back to the new blonde in front of her, causing a true smile to fade onto her face. An even bigger smiled appeared as she watched Brittany take a huge bite out of her hot dog.
"I swear I could live off these for the rest of my life, and die happy" Brittany managed to get out, though her mouth was full of food.
Santana giggled "You have a little something on your cheek" The Latina pointed as she laughed.
Brittany's eyes lit up "What! Where?" she used her index finger to wipe spots on her face but she missed every time. Santana couldn't help but giggle harder.
"Here let me get it" Santana continued laughing as she grabbed her napkin folding it into a little triangle before leaning in and dabbing gently to Brittany's cheek. Both of the girl's laughter ceased when they noticed how close their faces were to each other. Brittany's eyes searched Santana's face starting from her chin, then to her lips, finally stopping at her deep brown eyes that were staring back at her pink lips.
"What are you thinking right now?" Santana whispered, her hand still holding the napkin to Brittany's cheek. Really and truly she didn't need to ask the question because she already knew the answer. The Latina swallowed hard and waited for the dancers response.
"When are you going to kiss me?" Brittany whispered back pointedly. And there it was. She cupped her hand over Santana's before leaning in halfway waiting for the Latina to fill in the rest of the space.
Santana could feel Brittany's breathe stroke her lips, it made her tingle. Santana moved her neck to fill the rest of the space when she heard that oh so annoying, nagging voice.
"She just has to warm up to you Honey, You are a great guy she will see that" Eva was walking across the grass food area holding hands with Antonio.
"Shit." Santana whispered quickly pulling back instantly hating her mother for her timing. "Maybe we should get out of here." The Latina needed to get out of there fast before her mother saw her.
Confused Brittany struggled to get her words out. "Oh, well Uhh we - we could go back to my hotel room." Brittany realized how sleazy that sounded, and instantly tried her hardest to reword her sentence. "I mean to - to watch the fireworks. I have like the biggest window and the most perfect view" she smiled nervously hoping Santana didn't think she just wanted to get her alone in her room.
"Sounds perfect!" Santana saw her mother who was getting closer to them. "Let's go!" she quickly took hold of Brittany's hand disappearing into the crowd again.
Brittany loved the feel of the smaller girl's hands in hers. It just felt right.
"What do you mean you don't know where our daughter is?" Eva yelled into the phone. It was hard to hear over all the loud music in the park.
Andres sighed "Kalli said she was with Quinn, but I just talked to Judy who said Quinn is in Tribeca for July 4th" Andres grabbed the back of his neck, as he let out a frustrated sigh.
"See I knew it!" Eva shrieked. "She hasn't changed. She still goes out and does whatever she wants when she wants!" Eva grew louder with anger.
Antonio placed a consoling hand to his fiancés shoulder.
"Look I'm sure she is fine. Santana is responsible" Andres said in a calming voice. "I've already sent out an APB so we should hear something in no time" and with Anders hung up.
"Andres!" Eva shouted into the phone. She gritted her teeth with anger. "He doesn't know where Santana is!" She faced Antonio.
"Look why don't you go back and wait at their apartment in case she shows up, and I'll stay around here and ill call if I see or hear anything." He wrapped Eva's tiny body in his arms. "Santana is a big girl I'm sure she is fine." He pulled Eva back to see her face.
Eva smiled softly "Your right" she placed a chaste kiss to his lips. "Call me if you hear anything" She said once more before walking off.
"Absolutely" he reassured her.
Hope you guys like it(: I cant break up Kalli and Santana Just yet! There is a reason behind the madness, lol
