Chapter 4 (How About Dinner?)

Brittany doesn't know why but she suddenly messaged Santana if she wants to have dinner with her. Before she could even process what she had written, she sent it to Santana. Now she's anxious and restless waiting for Santana's reply. She couldn't possibly take her offer back now can she? She sighed and flopped down her couch, jumping when her phone vibrated. She eagerly opened the text to find a message that made her grin like an idiot. She quickly ran to her bathroom to take a shower leaving her phone open for anyone to read.

The message she got said:

That'd be great Britt. Pick me up at 7? -Santana

Santana couldn't help but smile when she received Brittany's message earlier. She thought the blonde was wrong sent but when she re-read the message over and over again, she finally absorbed the fact that the blonde was asking her to dinner. She don't know why she was all giddy with this, I mean she barely knows the girl but one thing she knew was that Britt and her had this amazing connection making it easy for Santana to be comfortable around the bubbly blonde. As soon as she texted her respond to Brittany, Santana's smile never faltered. Kairi was looking at her with arched eyebrow.

"Quinn. Did you happen to know what Sanny ate at lunch 'cause she's smiling like an idiot?" Santana rolled her eyes at her cousin's statement. Quinn walked out of the kitchen to look at Santana with eyebrows raised.

"Hmm.. Don't know Kairi. Maybe she's just in a really good mood. Don't foul it." Quinn stated and went back to the kitchen to finish God-knows-what she was cooking. Kairi's gaze never left Santana's as she tried to read through her cousin. Santana rolled her eyes again at Kairi before checking her phone for the time. She got up and excuses herself to disappear in the bathroom. She needed to get ready for tonight's dinner with Brittany leaving a puzzled Kairi alone in the living room.

Brittany walked up to Santana's apartment and rang the doorbell. She heard a muffled 'got it' from inside and the door opened revealing a puzzled Kairi on the other side of the door.

"Hi Brittany. You look like you have a date tonight. What are you doing here?" she asked. Brittany chuckled at her statement before giving Kairi her 100 watt smile.

"Hey Kairi. No not a date. Just a dinner actually with Santana" she explained. Kairi tilted her head to the side before a mischievous smile played on her lips. "Is Santana ready?"

"Aha. That explains that" she stepped aside to let Britt in closing the door behind her. She walked up to the couch; Brittany followed her and sat down.

"Hey San! Your date's here! You better hurry up. It's not good to make her wait you know" she shouted to the direction of Santana's room. Brittany's cheeks heat up from what Kairi just said. She looked at the blonde and winked with her devious smile still pasted on her face. The door burst open revealing a glaring Latina who by her face, ready to kill her cousin. Kairi burst out to a fit of laughter when she saw Santana's face. It was priceless! Santana gave her a "you are so dead when I get home" look which only made the brunette laugh harder. Clutching her sides as her breathing was becoming a hard thing to do. The Latina rolled her eyes at Kairi before smiling at the blonde who now stood up from the couch.

"Ready?" the blonde asked. Santana nodded before giving her still laughing cousin a final death glare and walking out of the door. Once they were walking towards Brittany's car Santana spoke up.

"I'm so sorry about Kairi. Don't mind what she said." Santana explained. Brittany laughed and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Hey don't worry about it" Santana smiled showcasing her dimples.

They arrived to the restaurant and were greeted by the Maître d'. Brittany gave her name and they were led to their table. They both sat down and looked at their menus, ordered their foods and while waiting they did a little conversation getting to know one another.

"So what do you do for living San? You never told me." Brittany asked taking a sip of her wine. Santana took a sip as well before answering Brittany.

"Well, I do a lot of things Britt. One, being a model the other helping my dad in the hospital" she said casually. Brittany almost choked with her wine when she heard Santana talked about what she does for a living. She coughed before clearing her throat. "You okay?" Santana asked genuinely concerned with her friend. Brittany quickly nodded her head in reassurance.

"Sorry. So you finished medical school?" Brittany asked hesitantly. Santana nodded her head slowly.

"Yeah. My dad inspired me to become a doctor. You know saving lives and all that. Kinda cool actually" she smiled.

"Totally" Brittany agreed. "So why do you still model? I mean being a doctor can be quite a handful right?" Santana thought about it for a moment what made her pursue modelling. Then she remembered the person responsible for it.

"Modelling never was on my mind when I was in college but Kairi brought me once to one of her photo-shoots and well the photographer asked if I could pose with Kairi and he liked it. So long story short, Kairi's the one at fault for making me model." Santana smiled at the memory of Kairi being way too persistent on dragging her to one of her photo shoots. Brittany bobbed her head. She couldn't help but envy Santana and Kairi's relationship. Her thoughts were cut off when Santana asked her a question.

"So what else do you Britt aside from dancing?"

"Dancing is everything I do San. I love it and I get satisfied doing it. So I guess you could say I stick to dancing for a living." She was suddenly shy 'bout this but beamed when Santana complimented her.

"Well I bet you're a very great dancer Britt. Like what my dad said: 'Always do what you enjoy to do'". She quoted her dad's words. They smiled at each other till their food arrived. They ate while having small talks. When they finished their dinner, they argued on who was going to pay the bill but Brittany was persistent to pay, she told Santana she'll pay the next time they have dinner together which the Latina agreed.

Brittany drove Santana back to her apartment and walked her to the door. Before entering her apartment Santana thanked Brittany for a great night and told her to drive home safely. Brittany nodded and said goodnight to Santana before walking back to her car. When she got home Santana texted her asking if she was home, typing a quick reply she changed to her sleepwear and fell asleep with brown eyes haunting her dreams that night.

When Santana walked in her apartment, she was greeted by Kairi with a mischievous smirk on her face. Santana sighed knowing what her evil cousin was thinking. Needless to say, Santana was teased by Kairi non-stop that night. Santana made a mental note to get her cousin back but had an amazing sleep that night.
