Chapter 7 (Want To Do It Right)
Santana and Brittany went out for almost 5 days now. Both felt comfortable with each other. Tonight they were going out to dinner again. As expected, Kairi never stops teasing the two women calling their dinner 'dates'. Right now, Santana was enjoying watching Brittany talked about her passion for dance and how she had disaster dates before back in college.
"Hey there. Me and my friend over there thought maybe you ladies want to join us." A guy with nerves cut Santana's enjoyment and Brittany's talk. Santana turned her head to raise her eyebrow at the guy with dirty blonde hair.
"Excuse me?" she asked. Her voice clearly irritated at the intrusion. Brittany kept her mouth shut.
"You ladies seem to be missing escorts. My friend and I will be willing to keep you ladies company." The man clearly didn't sense Santana's irritation. Santana opened her mouth to speak up and lash out at the guy before Brittany cut her off.
"I'm sorry but we don't need men to keep us company. You clearly didn't notice that the two of us are dating" that took Santana by surprise. The guy opened his mouth then closes it several times before speaking up again.
"You girls a couple?" he asked. Brittany took Santana's hand to hers and placed it to her lips to plant a soft kiss on Santana's knuckles.
"Yes. So thanks for the offer but I'm pretty sure we're contented with each other. Right, babe?" Brittany spoke so calmly that Santana's heart skipped a beat when she heard her call her babe. Santana felt her throat dry up so she nodded. The man was taken aback before walking back to his friend. Brittany never let go of Santana's hand before she saw Santana's eyes flickered to their joined hands. She reluctantly pulled her hand away.
"Sorry. It was the only thing I could think of to ward him off. I hope it didn't freak you out" she apologizes, not meeting the Latina's eyes.
"It's okay Britt. It was better than me lashing out at him" Santana put a finger on Brittany's chin to make the blonde meet her eyes. Brittany slowly smiled at Santana and nodded.
Santana and Brittany walked back to Santana's apartment, silently. Both weren't sure how to act after that incident in the restaurant. When they saw Santana's apartment door, Brittany finally mustered up the courage to say what has been on her mind since she and Santana first went out to dinner.
"Hey San" she said in almost a whisper hoping Santana heard her.
"Yeah?" Santana gave Brittany her full attention.
"I ah…I really like, no love it when we spend time together. It might sound weird but well uhm.." Brittany didn't know how to finish. Santana saved her.
"Britt. I love it whenever I'm with you. I feel so safe and comfortable just being with you." They stopped walking by then, standing just outside Santana's apartment. Santana took a deep breath clearing her thoughts before speaking up again. She took both of Brittany's hands to her. "I know we only knew each other a few weeks ago but I'm starting to feel something I've never imagined I'd feel again after my last relationship." She swallowed a lump on her throat finding her voice again.
"When you said we were on a date earlier, my heart just went crazy, especially when you called me babe. God Brittany, I don't know what you're doing to me but if you'd let me, I'd like to show you how much I feel for you. We can take things slow and just see how it'll turn out." Santana let out a deep breath as she searched Brittany's eyes for answers. Brittany's lips tug up to a huge grin when she heard Santana's words.
"Santana, I've wanted to ask you out after our first dinner together" she looked into the depths of those chocolate brown eyes.
"Will you go out with me, this time as a real date, Santana Lopez?" she let out her thoughts. Santana smiled at her with pure adoration in her eyes, showing off her dimples.
"Yes. I would love that" with just those words coming out of Santana's mouth, Brittany beamed down at her.
"I promise I'll be a proper gentlewoman." Brittany added which made Santana laughed.
"Oh really? There is no way you can resist all of this" Santana gestured to her figure. Brittany laughed as she tried to think of a good come back. She raised her eyebrow at the Latina.
"Someone's getting a bit full of themselves don't you think?" she smirked.
"I'm just telling the truth Britt" Santana said with a playful tone in her voice.
"We'll see about that" both women laughed and once they calmed down they both just looked at each other.
"Well, I'll see tomorrow" Brittany said before leaning down at Santana to plant a gentle, sweet kiss on the Latina's cheek. Santana beamed at the tall woman.
"Drive safely okay?" she said. Brittany nodded before saying goodbye to the Latina, thanking her for the night. Santana knew she was falling for the blonde but kept her self-check before fully letting herself fall for the talented blonde. She wanted to do it right this time.
