A little bit of motherly help

Santana was on her way around. I was freaking out. I mean how many outfits do you have? I think I am going to faint in a minute. I took a step back trying to compose myself. I looked over to Lord tubbington who was sprawled across my bed licking his paws but only just, he has been getting fatter and fatter every day. Shhh don't tell him, he is really sensitive about it. I have 5 hour before Santana arrived and takes me out for Valentine's Day meal. Sugar is having another party but this time instead of a get together where you can wear what you want she has gone and organized a masked ball! I mean I love masks, they are a funny way of showing off and sometimes you can't tell who is underneath them.

"Britney" A few knocks came from my door. I walked over and opened it finding my mum there. "Have you found an outfit?" She looked happy that we were going out tonight I mean since we told her, Santana and I have been spending most of our time watching movies or making out on the couch.

"No mum" I walked back over to my bed where I belly flopped, just missing lord tubbington. He went to run away but couldn't be bovered so he just lay there, unaware what was going on.

"That cat is so lazy" She came further into my room, resting her hand on my head that was face first into the duvet on my bed. It smelled like Santana.

"I know but he has been eating a lot of cheese recently mum I think he has put on another stone!" I looked up at the cat that was licking his paws still, remembering when Santana sat there pocking him for an hour and he really wasn't bovered by it.

"Do you want to go shopping for a new dress?" I bounced off the bed and hugged my mum super hard. "I'll take that as a yes."

"Yes mum YES!" I had wanted to go shopping with my mum for ages and now we had an excuse. She didn't like shopping but I'm sure she is only putting up with it no because she loves me and doesn't want me to be sad on my date with Santana.

"Okay well I guess we could go, but not for long and a dress under £100 okay. Fathers orders" She walked over to my bed and sat down putting her arm around me. My mum. Going shopping. With me. For my date with my girlfriend. When I was 6 I had never expected this to happen at all "Right well we can eat lunch, and then we can head out to the mall okay?" I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Mum do u think we could have a pizza, I mean I haven't had pizza in a while." I hugged the fat cat that was on my lap.

"Sure, but Lord Tubbington doesn't get ANY. Okay that is my condition" She was laughing at the fat cat that had rolled onto his back and was trying so desperately to turn himself back over but couldn't.

"I'm sure we should be putting him on a diet anyway. Mum how do u feel about Santana?" My mum looked up into my eyes as they stared to tear up.

"Hunny you and Santana have been best friends since the start of school, you are my daughter and so is she. Just because she is driving you around town, taking you out on dates and kissing you really doesn't change that. I and your father had a bet that this would happen between you last year. He owes me £200." I laughed as she brought her nose to my forehead "I love you, and I love Santana but I love both of you together more." She kissed my forehead and stood up nearly falling over the pile of dresses I had thrown on the floor.

"Thank you mum, it really means a lot." She smiled at me and then at the clothes "Go and put the pizza on, ill tidy all of this away." She nodded and walked out of the room as I started to pick up the dresses on the floor. There under my pink strapless dress with white gems and a white bow, was a note. A single note. A4 sized folded with 'To My Princess' written on it. I immediately grabbed it wanting to know who it was from and opened it. It read.

Dear Princess B,

You don't know how much I love you, I have never been able to tell you this because well you are my best friend and I'm scared of what this would do to us but I wrote you this note. On the 3 of June 2007 to tell you from this year I have already loved you for 4 months and I will love you forever more. Britney S .Peirce you are my beacon of light in a dark forest and when it comes to the time you move out (To live with me) and you are looking at this dress, you will find this note and no that I have loved you forever. If you are wondering how I knew that you wouldn't wear this dress again, because you wore this on your first date with Artie and you don't love him, and I may have spilt my drink on him covering you to. (Sorry about that) Now I will see you later. I know it.

I Love you forever and ever.

Oxox S oxox

I Looked back at the note in my hands and then over to the dress. How did she know that I wouldn't wear it again? I mean I haven't worn it since. But how did she know that. 4 years ago. 4 years ago and she was still in love with me. Oh Santana why did it take you this long. I grabbed the note and put it on my chest of draws that over looked my bed. I'm going to show her later. After our date I'm going to show her how much she means to me.

I grabbed the dresses, placing each one on the hanger carefully placing them into my walk in wardrobe. The white one, the pink one, the sexy red one but none of my 46 dresses were right for tonight. It had to be special it had to be perfect. It was going to be perfect. The Last dress was in.

"B, did you get them all in okay?" My m um shouted up the stairs, she couldn't cook, I mean pizza was a struggle. I could smell it burning slightly as she probably left it in too long.

"Yes mum, I think the pizzas done take it out!" I heard footsteps run into the kitchen and then the shriek of the fire alarm as she opened the oven door. Luckily she had burnt the chips not the pizza. So we could at least have the pizza. I had come to expect that though, from my mum. If you wanted a cooked meal, not from the microwave, you had to cook it and it made me a rather good cook, if I do say so myself.

"Hunny its okay, it's only the chips!" I laughed closing me wardrobe and going back to my bed, I grabbed the letter in my hands and held it, I didn't read it. I held it against my chest and only looked at it.
