Brittany's POV
I haven't talked to Santana since the tournament, two whole weeks. When other people on the team remember that tournament I bet they think of how fun Seattle was and how we demolished every other team. Not me. I think of how within five minutes, I had the best kiss of my life, and then got it taken away from me forever.
Santana obviously knows I'm avoiding her, because she started avoiding me too. She probably thinks I don't care about her anymore and just don't want to talk to her. The truth is I don't want anything more than to talk to her, at least be her friend again. But I can't do that, because after only one kiss, she stole my heart. It would hurt so much to talk to her knowing she could never be mine.
"Brittany what are you doing?" Sugar yelled at me. "You're almost a lap behind! Come on are you trying to get kicked off the team?"
I sped up, even though I wasn't trying to get kicked off the team, I did have my motives for slowing down so much. Half the team was doing a timed 3-mile 'warm up' on the track while the other half was doing ab work on the field.
Every time I passed the group doing abs I couldn't help but stare at a certain Latina. So naturally I was going slower than the other girls who weren't gawking over Santana's perfect body.
"Ok, ok, sorry," I said to Sugar as I sprinted a full lap to catch up with her, as she was about to lap me.
"What's up with you? You're so out of it, and not like happy anymore." Sugar gave me a worried look.
"I am happy. I just have a lot going on, ya know." I didn't tell Sugar about Santana, because I know she'd want to talk about it, and I really couldn't handle that.
Sugar had always been there for me, and usually I told her everything, so it felt weird keeping this from her, but I had to.
Just then we passed the girls working out on the field. My eyes widened when I saw Santana getting up from plank position. Why did she have to stand up like that? She lifted her ass high into the air before bouncing the rest of her body up. Then she leaned down touching the ground with her hands.
Her shorts were so short! I nearly blacked out when I saw a little of her red thong. Of course she was wearing a thong to practice. Not even bothering to put spandex on over it like everyone else did. I couldn't stop shamelessly staring at her and I didn't notice the water bottle in the middle of the track.
"Britt, watch out!" Sugar yelled, but it was too late. I tripped on the bottle and fell to the ground, getting a facefull of track. I screamed out in pain as a wave of pain shot through my ankle and up to my stomach, making me nauseous.
"Oh my god! Brittany! Are you ok?" Someone said as they ran up to me. That someone was Santana, and she sounded extremely panicked. "Brittany?" She said again when I didn't answer her the first time.
Still cringing in pain, I managed to answer her, "Yeah… No, ow my ankle!" I winced as I tried to move it.
"Shit," Santana swore under her breath. "Ok, I'm going to take you to Holly's."
"Who's Holly?" I jumped when she put one arm under my knees and the other arm behind my back to pick me up.
"She's like our trainer. You know, when we get injured she gets us better."
"Should I come too?" Sugar jumped in.
"No I've got it covered, thanks Sugs," Santana answered her and I just kept wincing in pain. "Ok, I'll hurry," she reassured me,
My beautiful brunette savior (as I now like to think of her in my mind) brought me to one of the buildings next to the stadium. Pushing open the door, she was extra careful not to let my swelling ankle touch anything. She was making it really hard for me to get over her, being all sweet.
"I'll go get Holly," she said as she set me down on a table and rushed out of the room.
Seconds later she returned with a tall blonde woman, who I instantly knew I was going to like. I don't know why, but I just knew.
"Hi there! My name's Holly Holliday," she waved at me and I returned the gesture. "What happened?"
"Hey, I'm Brittany. I tripped on a water bottle," I said, looking at the ground.
"Always the blondes huh?" she said, laughing. "Hey I'm allowed to say that, I'm blonde!" I laughed with her, yeah I was going to like her. "So what had you so distracted that you didn't see this water bottle?"
I lifted up my gaze and looked at Santana, before immediately looking down and shrugging. Holly was smirking and must have picked up on it, because she too looked at Santana, then down at her shorts.
"So, my dear Santana, just curious, what were you doing when this happened?" she said, keeping a smirk on her face.
"Stretching…" Santana raised an eyebrow at Holly.
Holly looked over to me with a huge smile and winked. Oh god, she totally knew. Then she reached down and pulled the bottom of Santana's shorts up a couple inches. I was confused by this action until she said, "Hey San, try some spandex next time."
Santana's eyes widened and a deep blush spread across her face. I hope to god she doesn't know I was ogling her on the field just ten minutes ago.
Holly walked to the freezer and grabbed an ice pack. She handed it to me and told me to keep it on my ankle for 15 minutes, then she's run some tests. "Ok, while you're doing that, I need to have a quick talk with you girl," she turned to Santana and motioned for her to come into her office with her.
Santana smiled at me and followed Holly out, leaving me there icing my swollen ankle.
Santana's POV
"How long have you guys been dating?" Holly said right as I closed the door to her office.
She was obviously talking about Brittany, which really confused me. This was all really confusing, from the point when Brittany blushed when Holly asked her why she fell, to when she told me I should have worn spandex. Now apparently it appeared as if Brittany and I were dating.
"What are you talking about Holly? You know me, single. But only during the daytime," I halfheartedly joked. The truth was I hadn't had one of my one-night hook ups ever since Brittany kissed me.
"That's not true, San. I'm your neighbor, and I haven't seen any hookups in like two weeks. I also haven't heard a different girl crying or yelling every morning when you kick them out." Holly smiled at me knowingly. "That's why I thought you and that cute little blonde out there were dating. Also because you didn't give her crap for eye raping you while you were stretching."
"Eye rapi… OH." Suddenly I got it. Brittany was distracted by me stretching when she tripped on the bottle. Maybe I flashed her or something and that's why Holly said the thing about sliding shorts (spandex).
"So there's really nothing between you guys?" Holly asked, clearly not convinced.
"We kissed once. But Sue caught us and said if it happens again we get kicked off the team. She's been ignoring me ever since," I hung my head. "I don't think she even wants to be friends anymore."
"Awh, boo!" Holly grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. Ever since I met her, she'd been like a mother to me. I was truly grateful I had her in my life. "But Santana, that girl is not over you. She's infatuated with you!"
"Either way nothing can happen, so it's probably better off if we're not friends. It'd be too hard." I winced at the thought of not talking to Brittany ever again. I didn't want it to be like that, but if that's what she wanted I would respect her.
"Don't think like that, San. She still has," Holly looked at her watch, "Seven minutes of icing, and she can't move until she's done. It's the perfect time to talk to her! Just tell her how you feel."
"I cant," I said so quietly I didn't know if Holly heard.
Apparently she did though because she put her hand on my shoulder and equally as quiet, asked, "why not?"
"I… I think I might almost kind of love her. I don't know." It was true. I don't know how it happened, but even without talking to her, over the past couple weeks I kept falling for her. And now it was official, I've officially fallen.
"Go with your heart Santana. If you don't think you should tell her that yet, don't. But don't just let her slip away! True love is rare, and you know it's true when you barely have to interact with someone to love them. Start with being her friend, but don't let her shut you out." Somehow Holly always did this. She knew just what to say to make me fell 100 times better and more confident.
She was right, if Brittany couldn't be my girlfriend right now, she could at least be my friend. I wasn't letting her get away that easy.
I marched out of Holly's office and up to Brittany.
The stunning blonde looked up at me and all my confidence and composure was lost in her blue eyes. "I…Uh…" I mumbled trying to think of what to say.
"Santana, I missed you." She said, looking me right in the eyes, saving me from having to talk. "I'm sorry I've been avoiding you… Can I be honest about something?" She said, looking nervous.
I sat down next to her, "Anything Britt."
She let out a breath before continuing, "I have feelings for you, strong feelings. I was only avoiding you because I thought it would hurt to much to be with you, but not be with you."
I looked at her, a smile appearing on my face. "I know how you feel. I really like you Brittany. So much. I hate that I can't do anything about it, but can't we at least be friends?" My heart filled with hope as her face lit up.
"Of course." She said before leaning in to hug me.
Just them Holly walked in, grinning. I knew she's been watching from her office. That's so Holly.
"Brittany, you can stop icing now. I'm gonna do some tests to see if it's broken or what Santana you better get back to practice," she winked at me.
I rolled my eyes at her and stood up, "Alright, I hope everything's ok Britt. See ya Holly." I was so happy that Brittany and I were talking again. It felt unreal. Thanks to Holly I was also pretty sure I could make a more-than-friends situation work out too, I just had to convince Brittany.
A/N: Sorry, this was kind of a filler chapter. Setting some stuff up, ya know.
