"God I'm so tired" Santana whined while collapsing on her bed with her face hitting the mattress.
"You're gonna make that green if you don't turn around" Brittany giggled playing with her girlfriend's hair.
Santana turned around and found her pretty blonde smiling at her. She smiled back and placed her hand on Brittany's cheek receiving a sweet peck on it.
"We can take our drive some other time, I can see you're really tired" Brittany said gently.
"Are you kidding? I've been waiting all day for it, and you're not taking it away from me Ms. Pierce" Santana said playfully while sitting down and facing her girlfriend. Brittany giggled and wrapped her arms around Santana's neck, leaning forward to kiss her. When their lips met, they both sighed in relief. They were both really tired and spent. Both of them with cheerio practice, nationals coming up, studying for the final exams. Brittany had to plan the senior prom and had stuff to do as Senior Class President and Santana was in charge of the whole routine for the cheerleading championship. They'd had so much things to do that they haven't had enjoyed each other for a really long time. Yeah they'd had their usual sleepovers and stuff but today they had a date, and they hadn't had one in a really long time. Santana was the first to pull away.
"All right Ms. Pierce, I have to go shower so the kids don't think the Grinch is time traveling and I can take you to our ride, aaaaand I have a little surprise for you after that"
"Really? What is it! Tell me!" Brittany said eagerly while shaking Santana.
"Britt it's not a surprise if I tell you" Santana said giggling.
"Babyyyyyy at least give me a clue" Brittany said pouting.
"Fine, it's a date!" Santana said smiling.
"Are you serious?" Brittany was bursting happiness all over her while jumping into her girlfriend and kissing her on her nose, her ears, her cheeks, and her lips. Santana chuckled and lifted an ecstatic Brittany off from her.
"You can shower here, I'll go shower at my parent's room" she said pecking her girlfriend on the lips.
"Don't you wanna shower with me?" Brittany asked confused looking at a beaming Santana.
"The night is young baby, and I'm planning on making love with my perfect and beautiful girlfriend when we finish our date, until then, no funny business"
"You must really have something big for me if you're having enough willpower to deny me sex" Brittany said with a chuckle.
"Precisely, I don't want to have sex with you" Santana said walking towards Brittany. She cupped her face with her hands and kissed her sweetly. "I want to make love to you" She then released her hands and walked over through the door. Brittany remained still.
"Santana"
"Yes honey?" Santana turned to look at her girlfriend.
"I love you" Brittany said sweetly.
"I know sweetie, I love you too, you make me happy" and with that said smiling at her girlfriend she left the room. Brittany felt warmth inside of her. She wasn't sure if it was healthy to feel so attached to one person. She couldn't even believe how much she loved Santana, not that she didn't enjoy the feeling, she just didn't get it. She snapped out of her thoughts to grab her bag and take a shower as her girlfriend requested. She didn´t know they were going to have a date, and it was cold out there, so she brought a pair of beige pants, a brown leather jacket and a red sleeveless blouse. She put on her dark brown boots and was all set, waiting for her girlfriend while drying her hair and hoping not to be un-pretty for Santana (right, like that could ever happen).
Santana was wearing a pair of black jeans, and a red top covered by a white sweater. She also wore a pair of boots, but unlike Brittany's, they were black and their hills were slightly larger (what do you expect? Her girlfriend is tall!). She decided to straighten her hair, even though she knew Brittany liked it better when it was curly, but she though she rocked this outfit with her hair straight better than curly so…
Brittany had finished combing her hair and was now looking at Santana's pictures. She had seen them before, but she had never seen them all at once. There was one picture of the glee club in her computer desk along with two pictures of her (Brittany): in one of them she was sending a kiss to the camera, and in the other one she was just standing looking at something with one of her hands on her mouth. She didn't get why Santana liked the picture, but she said she looked cute. There was also one picture of both of them: Brittany had her arms around Santana's neck and was kissing her cheek while sitting on her lap, Santana was rolling her eyes, yet, she was holding Brittany tightly. Brittany chuckled; she remembered when Kurt took this picture. They were talking about how great it would be to go ask for candies the night of Halloween. Santana refused at first, but got convinced by her girlfriend, who kissed her on the cheek as a thank-you. One picture called her attention. Sam was in it with Santana and he was hugging her. She was all smiles.
She walked through Santana's closet and opened it. There were several pictures of both of them, a lot of pictures of Santana and Quinn, some with Puck and Sam, a pair with Mike and Finn, some with Tina, Mercedes, and Sugar, a pair with Kurt and Blaine, and one of them with Artie. Brittany couldn't help smiling. Her girlfriend was such a sap. She closed the closet and walked through Santana's bed, there, in her left night desk where only two pictures. One of Santana with her parents at some party, the three of them looked hot! And the other picture was one of her and Brittany kissing at Sugar's Valentine's Day party. In her right night desk was only one picture of her, Santana, and Quinn at New York. They all looked good.
"Someone's looking really pretty tonight" Santana said with a wide grin. "You like that picture? Or any of the others you just saw?" she started walking towards Brittany.
"Thank you" Brittany responded blushing a little and taking her girlfriend's hands intertwining their fingers. "I like all of them, but you're missing Rachel, and Rory, and Teen Jesus" she pecked Santana and gave her a smile when she broke away.
"I have a few pictures of dwarfinne in the bathroom and my locker" she responded pecking her girlfriend. "And I haven't taken pictures with Joe yet" she pecked her again "And there's no way I'm saving a picture of the Pixie Boy"
Brittany chuckled, she still couldn't believe her girlfriend had felt threatened by someone like Rory, even worst, she couldn't believe Santana actually thought that her pot'o' gold would mean her sleeping with him. She felt a little insulted actually, first of all, Rory was way too young, second of all, he was so not her type, and finally, she would never do that to Santana.
"Baby, Rory doesn't have a chance" she leaned forward and kissed Santana deeply. When she pulled away, she chuckled watching at her girlfriend all dizzy. "Focus Ms. Lopez, you're driving remember?"
Santana blushed and let go off Brittany's hands "You're mean to me Pierce, you're just evil" Brittany laughed and followed her girlfriend to the garage.
Once Brittany got into the car, Santana told her she'd be right back. Brittany nodded and placed Santana's ipod on the radio. Out of the 5000 songs Santana had, 4000 were picked by Brittany, and she had also made several playlists for different occasions. When Santana got back, she faced Brittany before turning on the car.
"So, we'll stop at Lima Bean to get some coffee, it's a long drive" Santana said.
"Yeah, sure" Brittany said sweetly as her girlfriend turned the car on and drove her way to Lima Bean. "Where are you taking me?"
"You wanted nice and peaceful, I'm giving you that" Santana smirked. "It's a nice and safe drive don't worry, there will be lot's of lights and not much traffic, but I can't tell you where we're going 'cause its part of the surprise"
Brittany gave Santana a smile and placed her hand on her girlfriend's lap. "Okay honey, thank you"
They got to Lima Bean in no time; Santana ordered their coffees and got back in the car. As soon as she gave Brittany her coffee, she started driving. "I've missed you, and I'm sorry I haven't been with you as much as we usually do" Santana said.
"Baby, what are you talking about, don't apologize, we've both been really busy and yet you are as loving and attentive with me as always. I've missed you too, but don't apologize 'cause you're perfect and I couldn't imagine someone more perfect than you, you really are the best girlfriend in the world, and you have no idea how much I love you" Brittany leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on Santana's cheek, another one in her shoulder, and looked at her lovingly.
Brittany's words totally melted Santana. She told her that she loved her too. And as they smiled at each other, started talking and looking at all the lights Lima provided them. Brittany was stunned, it was all so beautiful; she had never been on this part of town before, she didn't even know that route when she drove out of town.
"Is this what you had in mind?" Santana asked still smiling at the blonde.
"Honey this is so much better, how did you know this part of town?"
"Well, whenever I get mad, you know I like to go for a ride, I discovered this part of town a few years ago, it's my relaxing route, all the lights and cute decorated houses and plains get me cool"
"We've never been here before"
"That's because I stopped using it"
"Why? It's so beautiful"
"I know, but now, whenever I get mad I just need to see your smile to cool off" Santana responded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Santana stop the car" Brittany said all of a sudden.
"What? Is everything okay?" Santana asked concerned.
"Yeah, just stop the car" Brittany responded calmly.
"Britt, why do you-"
"Stop the car Santana"
Santana found a parking place and stopped the car. "Are you ok-" Santana's sentence was stopped by Brittany's hungry lips. She started rolling her tongue around Santana's lips desperately waiting for access. When Santana granted it, Brittany sucked Santana's tongue really hard and nibbled her girlfriend's bottom lip several times until it became plumped. She then continued to suck hard on Santana's tongue and finally rolled her own behind her girlfriend's teeth. When she pulled away, Santana remained speechless, wide eyed looking at her girlfriend. Both of them were panting.
"I'm sorry I… I just really needed to do that" she said smiling sweetly at the Latina.
"Don't… don't apologize for doing that, ever!" Santana responded with a smile. She then leaned forward and kissed Brittany once again. Sweetly this time, trying to show her love with it. When she pulled away, she smiled at the blonde.
"This is already the best date ever, and we haven't even has sex yet" Santana said. Brittany laughed and placed her hand in her girlfriend's lap again. Santana turned on the car, and continued driving to their destination.
"Hey, now that I remember, I wanted to ask you something" Brittany said looking out the window stunned by the beauty of their trip.
"What is it?"
"What's up with that picture of you and Sam on your computer desk?"
"We took it a couple of weeks before he left town, he asked me to go with him to the movies and for dinner"
"Oh, so… a date?"
"What? No" Santana said with a chuckle. "I missed his good-bye party remember? I went with my parents to a cruise. He called me when I got back and told me he didn't want to go before seeing me so…"
"So a date?"
"Baby it wasn't a date, you and I were already dating by the time we got back from New York remember? I would I go on a date with Sam if I was already dating you?"
"But, nobody knew we were dating…"
"Still, why would I do that to you?"
"You wouldn't" Brittany said sweetly. Santana took the hand Brittany was resting on her lap and kissed it lovingly.
"Besides, I needed to apologize for treating him as I did. He really liked me when we dated, and I was just using him to make you jealous. When we got to dinner that day, I told him about us and he was very supportive, and when he came back, everyone already knew, plus he saw the commercial"
"You… you told him we were together?"
"Not actually, he just asked as he already knew and I just couldn´t deny it"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Santana just shrugged her shoulders and kissed Brittany's hand again. Then, she stopped the car.
"I need you to put this on" She said handing Brittany a scarf.
"What?" Brittany said confused.
"Use it to cover your eyes"
"What for?" Santana smiled and leaned over to kiss her girlfriend deeply. Without breaking the kiss she opened her eyes and noticed Brittany had hers shut. She took the opportunity to cover Brittany's eyes with the scarf.
"Cheater" Brittany said. Santana just chuckled and gave her one last kiss.
"It's only for a few minutes I promise."
Santana continued driving, and soon turned the car off. "Wait here baby"
"What? You're not leaving me here alone and blind!" Brittany exclaimed.
"I'm not going anywhere" Santana said laughing at her concerned girlfriend.
"And you say I'm the evil one…" Brittany complained. Several minutes of silence went through, until she felt her door being opened. She jumped scared, but felt a familiar pair of hands grabbing her own.
"You can come out now, and take the scarf off, but don't open your eyes until I tell you"
Brittany nodded and did as her girlfriend asked for. She felt how Santana walked her to some sort of place and stand her still.
"You can open your eyes now"
When Brittany opened her eyes, she was shocked, but in a good way. Santana had driven them to the top of a hill where she could see all Ohio. And it was beautiful, they were surrounded by trees, very long grass and it was all very peaceful and quiet. In the middle of a couple of trees, Santana had placed a very big blanket (big enough for both of them to lay there) and in the middle of it laid a picnic basket. Santana had put yellow Christmas lights over the trees around them (the ones that needed batteries) and a couple of candles in the blanket near the basket. When she turned to face Santana, she noticed the big smile on the Latina towards her.
"I wasn't going to bring the candles, but since the trees are a little far from the blanket so we could see the stars I thought we might need them, but the lights seem to be enough so we can just… not use them" Santana said concerned that her girlfriend hadn't said a word.
"This is… when did you... how did you… how did you do all this? I told you this morning about the drive…" Brittany remained shocked.
"Well, when you told me about wanting to be at a peaceful place with me and taking a ride I immediately thought of this place, I cooked while you were showering and put the stuff in the car, and my mom always keeps the lights on her room in case on a blackout" Santana said still worried about her girlfriend's reaction. "Do you… not like it?"
Brittany immediately turned to face her girlfriend again and cupped her face with her hands. "Baby this is the most wonderful thing someone has ever done for me. It's like if I asked you to bring me to a paradise and you just did it. It's so much better from what I had in mind, I mean, it's beautiful, you are beautiful, you are perfect, I love this, but I love you so much more and I think right now I love you even more if that's even possible. Thank you Santana" She then leaned forward to capture the Latina's lips with her own. It wasn't quick, but it wasn't rushed, it wasn't innocent, but it wasn't fierce, it was passionate, but still loving, it was perfect. When they pulled away, Brittany wrapped her arms around Santana's neck and held her tight in a sweet embrace for a few minutes.
"You have no idea how much I love you Santana Lopez"
Santana sighed in relief. "I love you too" She broke their embrace and took Brittany by the hand. "Shall we?" Brittany nodded and they both sat on the blanket.
"Hungry?" Santana asked with a playful smile.
"You have no idea" Brittany answered with a smirk.
