Rachel did a very good job keeping out of the loft for the night. It was all Brittany and Santana's tonight and the plans Brittany had for her were quite creative all things considered. Brittany carried two plates in her hand, the two plates had salad and breadsticks on them. Santana's eyes lit up when she saw the breadsticks.

"You made Breadsticks?!"

"Well not exactly...I bought them but it's the thought that counts".

They both begin laughing, and they continue to laugh and laugh. They hadn't laughed like this together in what seemed like so long. As they settled down they dug into their food. Each bite Santana took, Brittany watched her...she really thought it was endgame for them BUT she was wrong and boy was she happy she was. Santana looked over at Brittany and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you watching me eat?"

"I can't help it. As of just a day ago I thought we were done for good. I was so upset and so shook by the whole situation".

"Well I'm here now and so are you. Forever and always babe".

Those words put a huge smile on Brittany's face. After they were done eating their dinner, Brittany brought out dessert. Her and Rachel stayed up all night making cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries. Brittany brought them out each a cupcake and a bunch of the strawberries. They made enough to feed an army of children.

"Did you make these?"

"Yes...this time I did, with the help of Rachel of course".

"Where is she by the way?"

"She told me she was doing late night rehearsal and then going out to some open mic with people from school".

"Oh very nice".

There was a long period of silence as they both tried to speak.

"I was..."

"I..."

They laughed.

"You first Brit".

"I was going to ask you if you wanted to go meet her at the open mic. I'm fine with that. What were you going to say?"

"I was going to say I didn't care where Rachel was...I'm content being in here with you".

"I was hoping you'd say that".

They continued to catch up on what had happened in the last couple of months since they hadn't seen each other. Brittany talking about the last couple of months and how hard they have been on her and Santana talking about how busy school and cheer has been. They both reached for the last strawberry. Brittany snatched it out of Santana's hand.

"How about this?"

Brittany put the strawberry halfway in her mouth and leaned in towards Santana. Santana leaned in and they both bit down into the same strawberry, leaving their lips touching just the slightest little bit. They let their lips stay where they were as they stared into each other's eyes.

"What are you thinking right now?" asked Santana.

"I'm thinking I'm the luckiest girl in the whole wide world. What about you?"

"I'm thinking I want to stop and freeze time in this very moment".

"Too bad we couldn't do that".

Santana took Brittany's right hand and placed it over the left side of her chest as she took her own left hand and placed it on Brittany's cheek.

"Do you feel my heart beating?"

"It's beating really fast".

"It's because I'm nervous".

"Nervous about what?"

"You always make me nervous...but in a good way".

Brittany takes Santana's right hand and places it over the left side of her chest and does the same thing Santana did with her left hand.

"What's my heart like?"

"Boom boom...boom boom...boom boom. You've always been more calm than I am".

"I think it's you that calms me down".

They both keep their hands where they are and smile at each other. Brittany slowly leans back on the blanket and pillows she setup on the ground in the living room area. Santana follows right behind her.

"I've wanted this for so long" said Brittany.

"I've wanted YOU for so long. It's been too long".

Santana lifts herself up so she's hovering over Brittany. She takes a few moments to just stare at the beauty lying on the ground next to her. She leans over, kissing Brittany's neck over and over again. Brittany pulls her back down beside her. Entangling their arms together, the face each other and smile. This is right where they both want to be. No one in the world to distract them from each other, just them and their love. Santana leans in, touching noses they begin to giggle.

"I haven't felt this way in so long" said Santana.

"Neither have I".

"I want to be with you forever Brit. You're the love of my life, my soulmate, my rock, my everything. Every time I close my eyes at night I think of you and I hope that you're safe and tucked into bed".

"I couldn't imagine being with anyone else but you".

As they continue to stare into each other's eyes, Santana leans in yet again and begins kissing Brittany. Their lips don't separate, they just move together as one. No one in the world could pull them apart, not now. Brittany gets up and straddles her lover. She pins Santana's arms behind her head as she starts kissing her slowly down her body and back up to her neck. As she reaches her neck, Santana gets out of Brittany's tight grip and sits up. Brittany's legs now wrapped around Santana's waist as they continue to kiss. Santana stops for a minute.

"This is the moment I want to have a remote to pause life".

"Then let's pretend".

They both take each other's tops off and fall back down towards the pillows. Entangling themselves together again. They lay there skin to skin, chest to chest, face to face, not letting anything or anyone except themselves come to mind. They slowly fall asleep in each other's arms, never letting go. This was a night they'd never forget.
