CHAPTER 7
SANTANA
I can't help but to check my watch every passing minute. What's taking her so damn long? I send Sam and Mike to pick up Brittany but until now they're still not here. I can't help but to worry. I should have come there personally.
"Hey San. Are you even listening?" Sugar poked my arm to get my attention.
"What?" I said, irritated.
"You're not listening." she said then gave me a knowing smile. "Are you waiting for Brittany?"
"No! Why would I?" I answered immediately.
"I can see that you are. Right Quinn?" she said again.
Quinn sipped her wine in an elegant manner before turning her eyes to look at me, "There are a lot of pretty girls in this party, San. You should look around." then she smiled at me.
"Not interested." I looked around seeing all of the pretty girls invited at the party, but no one catches my attention.
"Hmmm. Really? How about her?" Sugar pointed her hand at the entrance door.
While drinking my wine, I followed Sugar's pointed direction, and there I saw Brittany in her elegant white silk dress. Her long blonde hair curled up in big waves at the end, even in a simple make-up, she looked pretty gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off of her.
She looked at my direction and she might have noticed me staring at her, so immediately I avoided her gaze.
"She looks absolutely gorgeous!" Sugar exclaimed that I frowned.
"You're exaggerating." I mumbled.
"Oh really?" Quinn told me then she quirked her eyebrow. "She really looks pretty and I can see lots of girls here are checking her out."
Immediately, I turned around to look at the girls who were checking out on Brittany then I heard Quinn laugh. I crossed my arms. "No one's checking her out." I said.
"I just want to see your reaction. So stop being so stubborn and walk towards her before someone catches her first." Quinn said, smiling at me. I know they're only teasing me.
"I told you, I don't like her." I said, still not making a move, but then I took a quick glance at Brittany who looks confused and out of place in the party.
"Fine." Sugar said, standing up. "I'll get her."
BRITTANY
I don't know anyone here, I shouldn't have come. Where is Santina? I know she's not the one sitting there with Quinn and Sugar. That's Santana. Even if they looked exactly alike, I just know how to differentiate them from the other.
I was lost in my thoughts trying to look for someone I know, which I doubt I would coz this party is for the rich and famous, and I'm neither any of it.
"Hey gorgeous."
I turned to face the owner of the voice, Sugar. "Hey. Have you seen Santina?"
"She's probably with Emily. Why are you looking for her?" Sugar asked.
"Well, she invited me. And i don't know anyone here."
Sugar smiled and grabbed my arm. "You can sit with us. Come." She dragged me towards their table, which is at the center of the hall.
And here I was, standing face to face with Santana. I know she's avoiding my gaze ever since I came here.
"So, you look really pretty with that dress, Brittany." Quinn said, obviously checking me out as she stared at me from top to bottom. I winced.
"Thanks." I said, awkwardly. "You look pretty too, Quinn." I said honestly. Well, she's pretty too with that green venus-strap dress she wore. Actually, my dress looks plain simple compared to the F4. Even though it's a signature dress, coz Santina bought it, I think I still look odd with it. I don't have the confidence to wear such an expensive dress unlike the rich and famous F4.
Sugar lifted the chair beside me and motioned me to sit down, so I was sitting now across Santana with Sugar at my left, and Quinn at my right.
Sugar leaned into me, "You're just in time, the party will just about to start."
"I thought it started already." I said.
"Emily still didn't come out." Quinn said. As I turned to face Quinn, I noticed Santana staring at me, but then she take her eyes away from me in a matter of second.
I was about to ask Santana what the fuck is her problem when the background music changed.
Sugar stood up, "It's Emily."
Everyone stood up too, even me.
And there I saw Emily in her dark blue V-neck long gown that showed right amount of cleavage. Her long shiny black hair is hanging loose, making her more beautiful and perfect. She wore a diamond necklace that really looks good on her matched with diamond earrings and gold bracelet on her right arm. She looks stunningly perfect.
But what made my heart bleed was Santina escorting her. Santina looks pretty and gorgeous herself, standing next to Emily. She wore a simple but elegant black dress showing curves in the right places. Emily's hand was around Santina's arm and you can see that they really look like a perfect couple.
"They looked good together." Quinn said in a serious tone. "I never seen Santina smiling like that ever since Emily left."
I looked at Santina, I can tell that she's really happy around Emily. If she's happy, then I would be happy too. Even if it hurts.
The music changed again, it was replaced by an heart-warming slow music, Emily wrapped her arms around Santina in the middle of the dance floor and Santina's arms wrapped around Emily's waist. I just stood there watching them intimately close.
"Well, I need to find hot and sexy woman to dance with. See you later." Sugar said, waving goodbye.
"That brunette in the corner catches my attention, so I've got to go." Quinn said leaving me and Santana.
I sat awkwardly, I shouldn't have come here. This wasn't my crowd. I should have stayed home.
"You want to dance?" I lifted my eyes to see Santana standing beside me, offering her hand for me to take. "Err. Well. i don't have a dancing partner. So, maybe… just maybe, you like to dance with me?"
I just stared at her, with confusion written on my face. Santana Lopez asking me to dance with her? Is this a dream?
"Sure." I said, standing up, taking her hand.
We were in the middle of the dance floor when Santana stopped and turned to face me. She placed my hand on her shoulders and her hands wrapped around my waist. We were staring at each other for a couple of seconds. She have a pretty gorgeous brown eyes and I must admit, those long eyelashes are to die for. My gaze go down on her plump lips and I immediately take my eyes off her face when I realized I was actually staring at those lips whom I accidentally kissed before.
It felt good in her arms, to be honest, but I can't help but to wonder what if the woman I am dancing right now is Santina, not Santana. Is it wrong to imagine Santana as Santina right of this perfect moment? A girl can dream right? I can't help but to leaned closer to her right into her ear, I can smell the scent of her hair and all I could imagine is, this is Santina. Santina, the girl I am in love with. Not the stubborn, arrogant and most of all rude Santana Lopez.
"Thank you." I whispered. I want to thank her for this dress she gave me. I want to thank her for being so nice to me. I want to thank her for making me smile. I want to thank her that I had the chance to meet her. I want to thank Santina.
"You don't have to thank me for picking you up. It's the least I can do to Emily who invited you to her party." she said.
I pulled away from her. Right this is Santana, not Santina. Santina gave me this dress and Santana picked me up from my house. "Thanks for the ride." I said, giving her a fake smile.
"Don't mention it. I can be nice too if I wanted to." she said in a confident voice matched by a smirk which made me frown.
"Yeah right." I scoffed.
Santana was about to say something back when Santina and Emily danced their way on our side.
"Em requested to dance with you, San. It's her birthday so you should grant her request." Santina said smiling at her sister.
"Sure." Santana said, dropping her hands off me.
"Would you mind if I dance with Brittany too?" Santina said that made my heart stopped. Oh god!
Santana looked at me for a second before she agreed to her sister. "Sure." she said.
Emily smiled at me, "Thanks for coming to my party, Brittany. Take care of Sanny for me, will you? Don't make her look around with girls other than me okay?" she said jokingly that made me guilty.
But then I manage to smile at her, coz she's nice to me even if I'm out of her league. "Sure. I will guard her for you." I said, smiling that made Santina chuckle. "Happy birthday Emily."
"Thanks." then she smiled at me and pulled Santana away from us.
That left me and Santina on the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around my waist and I felt that this is a dream come true. I placed my hands on her shoulders. Santina's scent is different from Santana. They both smell good anyway.
"You look very pretty with that dress, Brittany."
I can feel my cheeks reddened. "Thanks for the dress by the way."
"How did you get here? I'm afraid you'll get lost. I wanted to tell Quinn to pick you up but Emily occupied most of my time by helping her in preparing for this party."
"Your sister picked me up." I said.
"Santana?" her eyebrows looked confused, "Are you dating?"
I shook my head exaggeratedly, "No! Of course not!"
She chuckled, "you don't have to deny it. I can keep secrets."
"The thought of Santana and I dating is sickening. I don't like her, I don't like her attitude. "To be honest, I don't like your sister. She's so rude, stubborn and arrogant. I won't date someone like her." I said that made Santina's smile widened.
"If you say so." she said.
"I'm serious. I don't like her."
"Okay."
"You're not believing me."
"I believe you." her eyes smiling. I smacked her shoulder gently.
"Stop teasing me." I said, pouting.
"I'm not." she said, smiling again.
SANTANA
"Happy birthday Em." I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Thank you San." she said.
"Isn't it weird that you want to dance with me all of a sudden?" I said frowning at her. "So, what do you want?"
"What?" she said laughing, "It's my birthday. I just want to dance with you."
I'm still not convinced. I know she's up to something. "What is it, Em?"
"Okay. Okay. God, you're so mean." She said laughing.
"On with it. Is it about Sanny?" I asked.
"No. Promise me you'd say yes?"
"No."
"Please." she begged. "It's my birthday, you know."
"What is it?"
"Say yes first."
I nod my head. Emily is stubborn too just like me. "Okay." I smiled. "This better be good."
"Well…" she started, "I have this friend…" Oh no! I know where this is going, "She has a huge crush on you…" I knew it! I frowned. "And I was hoping if you just… just one… just one dance. Please." I furrowed my eyebrows in annoyance. "Please, San… Please…" she said, staring deeply into my eyes.
"You know I don't like being…" I said, Emily knows I don't want other people touching me, it's just who I am. I don't want to become intimate with someone other than my friends and my sisters. Even my mother, I don't want her touching me too. We're not close. Seems like, I grew up having no mother coz she was always out of the country taking care of our businesses.
"I know. I know. But please. Could you just do this for me? I don't want her to be upset knowing she haven't had the chance to know you or dance with you. She will go back to Paris after my party and this is just her only chance to meet you." she said, trying to convince me. "For me? Please San. Please." she said smiling at me, she gets what she wants, that's just her. Same like me actually so I know that she will not stop until I agree.
I took a deep breath. "Okay."
"You don't have to like her. I'm not forcing you to like her. I just want you to dance with her." she said, smiling.
"Okay. What's her name?"
"Aria. Aria Montgomery. She's the girl dancing with Quinn right now."
I looked at Quinn's direction, and I saw the cute, petite girl looking back at me. I turned to face Emily again. "She doesn't like Quinn?" I asked. No one refused Quinn Fabray. If Sugar is F4's 'walking sex object'. Quinn is F4's 'notorious playgirl and heartbreaker.'
"She's not into Quinn. She likes you. Actually, at first when I showed her Santina's picture, she developed a crush on Sanny, but of course, I won't allow that. So I told her that Sanny is off limits to her and lucky for her, she has a twin sister which is you. So I showed her your pictures and she became interested in you."
"You just want her out of Sanny's way." I said, teasing her.
"Well, yes. i have to admit that." she chuckled.
"Just one dance. Okay? I don't want her to be clingy or something. I'm not interested, I'm telling you." I said and glared at her.
"Yeah. Yeah. I know. Besides you can make Brittany jealous. Use that to your advantage." She said to me, giggling.
"I'm not interested with Brittany, okay?" I denied immediately.
"Whatever." she said laughing. Then she pulled my hand and we walked towards Quinn and this Aria girl. "Q, Can I dance with you?"
Quinn smiled at Emily. "Sure. Birthday Girl. It's my pleasure." then she handed me her partner, Aria. "Babe, Santana is going to take care of you for a while." I can see Aria blushed.
"Hi. I'm Santana Lopez. Would you like to dance with me?" I said respectfully. I can be rude most of the time but I love Emily as a sister and I can't be rude to her friends.
"Sure. I'm Aria Montgomery. Nice to finally meet you, Santana." she said as she put her arms on my shoulders.
BRITTANY
After Santina and I danced, I went straight to the restroom. I saw Santana dancing with another girl and I can't help but feel annoyed. So much for keeping me company.
Sugar is missing in action, I bet she's making out with someone again. Quinn is dancing with another good-looking girl. Santina is chatting with Emily's visitors. And I can't help but feel out of place.
I was reapplying my lipstick inside the restroom when I noticed three girls at my back staring at me in the mirror.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You're not beautiful. You're just a plain, odd blonde." the one with the short red hair said.
I stared back at them. I recognized them actually. They were my schoolmates but I don't remember their names.
"Well, obviously she has ways on how to get our goddess Santana." the curly blonde said.
"What are you talking about?" I said in a higher tone.
"You know exactly what we were talking about. You're trying to steal Santana Lopez from ours. You're a social climber bitch!" the curly black hair hissed at me.
"I'm not stealing anyone!" I hissed at them.
"Almost everyone tried to get Santana but no one succeeded, and that will include you!" the red-haired girl reached out for my hair and pulled it that I winced in pain. The black-haired girl threw wine into my face and into my white silk dress.
The curly blonde-haired girl slapped my face so hard that I swear it will gonna leave marks on my face.
"STOP THAT!"
The sound of the voice startled me and the three girls who attacked me. I saw Emily's eyes widened at the sight of me. I know that my hair is disheveled and my dress filled by wine. She pulled me away from them. "I can't believe I've invited monsters on my party. I'm so disappointed with the three of you Paige, Mona and Samara."
The three girls lowered their head, "We're sorry, Miss Emily."
Emily didn't respond, she took my hand and tugged me outside the restroom. We went upstairs and we both entered a large room which I think is Emily's hotel room coz there's a lot of dresses hanging in the closet and on the bed.
She took a pink tube dress in her closet and showed it to me. "I'm sorry for what they've done. I can't believe I invited them in my party. I initially thought they're nice."
I shook my head, "It's okay. I really don't belong here. You don't have to lend me your clothes. I could just go home." I said.
"I don't want you to go home yet, Brittany. You're friends with the F4 so you're my friend too." she said. "And I will take care of you. So, go to the bathroom and freshened up yourself."
"But…"
She interrupted me, "No buts. It's an order Brittany." Emily said to me, smiling and I can't help but smile too. She's so super nice. No wonder Santina fell in love with her.
SANTANA
I was looking all over for Brittany. Did she went home? Where is she? Even though I'm having conversation with Aria, I can't help but feel worried for Brittany. Sugar is missing, and I know exactly what she's doing right of this moment. Quinn is flirting with another girl. My twin sister Santina is talking with Emily's parents on the table. So, where exactly is Brittany? I wanted to call her and ask her where she is, but goddammit! I don't know her number.
I looked around once again and there she is, standing side by side with Emily near the entrance door. I noticed she changed her dress, did she went home? Why is she with Emily? So, I excused myself with Aria and walked towards them.
"Where were you? I was looking all over for you!" I scolded Brittany.
Emily patted my back, "No need to worry, San. She's safe with me."
Then I noticed Brittany's cheeks, I cupped her chin and turned it to the side so I can have a better access on her cheeks. "What happened?" I said, I can't hide the angry tone in my voice. "Who did this to you?"
"No one." she said as she removed my hand on her chin, avoiding my gaze.
"Apparently Santana, your admirers don't want you to give attention to someone else." Emily said as she walked away.
"What did she mean by that?" I asked Brittany.
"Look. Just forget it, okay?" she said, sounding annoyed.
"Who did this to you?" I said, grabbing her arm.
"No one, Santana. Just please leave it, okay. Please. For me. Just leave it." she said, her eyes sad. I let go of her arm. She walked towards our empty table and I just followed her.
BRITTANY
The alcohol in this hotel taste good as I sipped another from my glass. After the party I excused myself from them and I never came back, I went straight to the bar and I ordered myself some drinks just so, I can forget what happened in the party. If I could just forget what happened between Emily and Santina, even for just an hour or so.
I watched as Emily blew her birthday candles with Santina on her side. The look on Santina's eyes filled with love as she cupped Emily's chin and forced her to look at her. Emily gave her an heart-warming smile.
"Thank you, Sanny. For this. For being with me." she said.
Then the unexpected happened. Santina dropped down on her knees, a small box on her right hand. She opened the box and it revealed a very beautiful diamond ring. "Emily Fields. I love you with all my heart, I wanted you the first time I saw you. I wanted you the first time we kissed. I need you in my life. Please don't ever leave me again. I love you Em. Will you marry me?"
The last question shocked me even though it's obvious that she will asked her, coz she dropped down on her knees in front of everyone.
Emily didn't answer, instead she pulled Santina with her and kissed her right into her lips. The kiss lasted so long that I have to shut my eyes coz the pain in my heart is unbearable.
Emily is so nice to me, so I really feel guilty that I have special feelings for Santina. But I can't help myself. You can't just stop your heart from loving in an instant, right?
I took a gulped again and the alcohol felt good inside my body.
I didn't notice that I passed out until someone wakes me up.
"Britt! Come on, wake up! Brittany!" she shook my body that I felt the urge to throw up. I covered my hand on my mouth. "Britt! Wake up!" she said again, lifting my head on the bar counter. With that sudden movement, I can't control myself so I threw up right in front of the person waking me up.
"Ugh! Eeeew! Brittany!" she said, angrily.
"I'm sorry…" I said again but then I threw up again on her.
"Oh my fuck! Shit! I'm so not gonna forgive you for this!" she said again, this time, her voice is really angry than before. Then I heard her saying, "Sam! Get the fuck in here! Right now! Yeah! Inside the hotel. In the bar! Now!" she said, she must be talking on her phone coz I heard her phone clicked.
Less than a minute, I felt someone pulled me up on their shoulders. I already felt dizzy and so I threw up again.
"Miss Brittany. Don't throw up on my uniform please."
"I'm so sorry." I mumbled.
"We can't take her back in her house right now. Just… Oh my god! I'm stinking! Just bring her upstairs in my penthouse." I heard her say, which in my drunken state, I figured out that it was Santana's voice.
I know, I know. Sort of a cliffhanger. hahaha
