About a week later, Santana walked with Brittany to Brittany's car, a little green bug. "So, Brit, how are you and the Giant doing? Haven't ya'll broken up yet?" Santana already knew the answer to that.
She walked into Breadstix with her family for their 'monthly family dinner' two days ago and it had finally been Santana's choice to pick the place. So she walked in with her parents, her dad checking a page about some kind of surgery and her mom told Santana, "Hey, isn't that your friend Brittany over there?"
Santana eyes looked to where her mother's were and landed on Brittany and she saw Brittany sitting at a table alone. Santana smiled confusedly, wondering why Brittany had gone to Breadstix by herself when she saw Finn slide into the booth beside her. For some reason, it really bothered her that Finn and Brittany were sitting beside each other, not across, like her and Brittany used to.
Brittany smiled brightly at Finn and he put his arm around her and she leaned her head on her shoulder drowsily, probably sleepy after having eaten. He smiled too and kissed her on the top of the head, and Brittany looped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss right on the mouth.
Without thinking, Santana turned around right out of Breadstix, feeling numb. "Can we go somewhere else, please?" she asked her parents sassily. "It's way too crowded in there."
Brittany gave Santana a withering look. "You mean Finn? We're still together. I love him." She said simply.
Santana gave her a pitying frown. "Britt, you've been together for a week. You can't love him," she said absent-mindedly plucking a heliotrope from her back-pocket, something she'd found on the sidewalk earlier, and handing it to Brittany, but it didn't make her smile like it usually did.
Brittany unlocked her tiny car, placed the flower on her dashboard, and made a sad look at Santana's disapproval. "I do love him, and for that whole week he's been nothing but sweet and loving to me, which is more than I can say for you. He's going to lose his virginity to me tonight." She told Santana, making Santana's heart squeeze painfully. Sure, Brittany had sex with guys before, but she was never with them before.
Santana rolled her eyes, hoping it'd get rid of the immediate tears that had sprung there. "Finn lost his virginity to me, remember?" The Latina said impatiently and angrily.
"He said it doesn't count if it doesn't come with feelings. I agree. It's way better with feelings."
Santana blinked for a couple of seconds, forcing her body not to rack with sobs, then she whispered, "Did it count with us?"
Brittany looked away from the smaller girl, and whispered, "Not anymore."
A couple seconds later, when the blonde turned around. Santana was gone, but she could see her in her red Mustang on the other end, seeing tears fall down her face. Seeing her like that made Brittany want to hug her and run her fingers through her hair and making it all better like she used to, but she couldn't take it back now.
She sighed and turned her keys to crank but the engine just rolled over. She scrunched up her eyebrows and tried again. Nothing.
A tap on the window made her jump but she smiled when she saw it was Finn. She opened the car door, and said, "Hey, Finn!" and gave him a swift kiss on the cheek.
"Are you having car troubles?" He asked her.
"My car's being stupid." Brittany pouted.
Finn glanced around, walking around the car. "I think you left your headlights on." He told the blonde.
Brittany just gave him a frustrated thinking look and he thought it was so cute. He gently touched her furrowed eyebrows, and took her by the waist. "Looks like you're coming home with me." He teased, even though she was going to follow him in her car anyways. Burt and Carole were going on a weeklong honeymoon or something and Kurt was going with Blaine to audition for some kind of Broadway show, and Finn thought it'd be the perfect time.
Yes, most people would probably think we were moving too fast, he thought, but I really do love her and she's the best kisser ever and she's beautiful.
Brittany took his hand and left her bookbag in her car, only letting go to climb in but immediately taking ahold of his hand when they both settled in. She turned up the radio and heard Sheryl Crow's "If it Makes You Happy' playing and she turned it up louder and started singing loudly along with it, making Finn smile and sing along too, even though he didn't really know the song.
She grinned at him as they walked into his bedroom, and there was a vase of primroses waiting for her. He looked at her for a couple of seconds before she started kissing him hard, expertly slipping her tongue in his mouth and as they broke apart for breath, she said, "I love you, Finn."
Finn looked shocked, then his expression slowly turned into that adorable crooked smile that Brittany loved and he kissed her oh-so-gently, reminding her of that very first kiss.
"I love you too, Brittany." He said, before laying her down on the bed.
