Author's Note: Sorry for such a late update. I have gotten caught up in my school play (Performances went off perfectly!) and so much homework because the play took up way to much time to do homework! Anyway's enjoy! and don't forget to review.
"Come here beautiful."
"I don't know; we should keep quiet a bit. My parents don't know."
"You haven't told them yet?"
"The moved me because they where ashamed. I don't want to leave you."
"Then don't. They wont move; trust me"
"But-"
"Trust me," Pulling me closer her lips form to mine; my palm burning, my lips' tingling, my body shivering from her finger's tracing elegant designs into my skin. As we pulled away I finalized the action plan before looking into her blue eyes.
"Ok, I'll trust you. But right now, we don't need to talk about trust. Let's just follow our instincts." I all but purred at her.
I follow the lines on the floor, thinking back to the other night. Brittany wanted me to go in and talk to them at that moment, but I decided it would be better if I did it while she wasn't in the house. My Papi sat at his usual spot at the kitchen table, news paper in hand sipping at an espresso; my Mami stood by the stove preparing our breakfast, humming softly to herself.
"Mami… Papi?" I kept my eyes to the floor as my voice found its own way out.
"Si beautiful?"
"I need to talk to you guy's; Mami can you come sit at the table?" My Mami looked me over before slowly walking to the table and taking a seat beside my Papi, who put down his paper and is now looking at me with his eyebrow cocked. A nod from him told me to carry on with my 'important issue'.
"Well.-" Just say it. Spit it out, and then it will be over with. You have been with Brittany for four months now. "I found her."
"Found who?" My Mami's face contorted in confusion; my Papi's face gave me a questioning look too.
"I found my soul mate. I found the-"
"Are you sure? Who is it? Have we met her?" Remember Santana, Papi never liked the idea of this. But he's trying. Give him that, he's trying.
"Si Papi."
"Has she slept over at all?" Mami's voice was barely audible.
"Si Mami." She took a sharp intake of air as Papi looked me over. I shot my eye's to the ground, blood rushing to my cheeks as I remember the feeling I get under her touch, the way she whispers my name, my lip's feel suddenly cold as if she only just pulled away from our kiss.
"Santana. Look at us when we speak; we know that we have no say in who your soul mate is, and what you do with them. Hell your father was horrible when we found each other, but in our house you need to understand that you will behave with dignity. How long have you two been- well-"
"Intimate." My Papi assisted as Mami mumbled a few incoherent words.
"We first kissed about four months, three weeks and 2 days, ago."
"That's not what your Mami was inquiring."
"A month." Papi's lip's twitched slightly, holding back a laugh as I watch Mami's face go pale white.
"Who is she?" Dun dun dun… Come on Santana, now's the time and hey so far they seem alright with it!
"Brittany." I tried to whisper it, in hopes that they would hear me, but at the same time not.
"The Brittany that you've been hanging out with 24/7. I thought you said her last name didn't match her last name."
"I-well-I lied." The room grew painfully quietly, my finger nails dragged over Brittany's name repeatedly until the silence was unbearable. I looked down at the ground; letting out a restricted sigh and turned to leave.
"Santana Lopez. We're not done talking. Okay, here's the deal. We are happy you found her, we are disappointed that you where lying to us. We will not be against you two spending time together, but you will do it properly." I nodded so they understood I was following. "Do her parent's know?"
"I think so."
"Alright, now; as a Lopez we have a certain image to with hold. Do you understand Santana?" Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit…oh and did I forget… shit! A certain image? Does that mean what I think it mean's. I thought they where ok with it, I thought- "You will take Brittany out on a proper date; You will pick her up, take her to a nice restaurant, then to a movie and you will bring her back to her house at an appropriate time. You will behave as a proper couple and will not just be sex buddies." I couldn't help but hide the smile that took over my face; Papi reciprocated the gesture while Mami draped her arms over his shoulders.
"Okay Papi. Thank you! I'll go call her now!"
"No, you are doing this properly. You are driving to her house to ask her. Understood?" I nodded vigorously, running out of the room to change into something more appropriate to ask her out on a date.
The pressure finally became real as I pressed the doorbell. I had a bouquet of Yellow Lilies, her favorite, in my hands. Moving my straightened hair over to my left shoulder, I dragged my hand down my plain black strapless dress that ended just above the knee; I shifted my weight so I was standing properly in my black cat heels. The door opened after what felt like a decade but was really two seconds. My breath caught as I took in the sight before me; Brittany had soft curl's spilling over her shoulder's, a flowing light blue dress that hugged her figure just perfectly on the top. The blue of her dress made her flawless blue eye's sparkle brighter; her cheek's touched lightly with blush and her smile giving warmth but at the same time taking all ability to breathe away from me. My eye's wandered down to see my necklace that she stole from my bedroom a few nights ago; the simple silver chain with a small heart hanging on it glistened against her pale skin. I felt my cheek's grow hotter as I reached out to give her the bouquet, her hand grazed against mine making it harder to remember how to talk.
"Wow" Seriously? Good job Santana. Good job. She started blushing and looked at the ground, become even more adorable then she already was.
"Are you ready to go my angel?" I reach my hand out for her to grab; Brittany give's the flower's to her mom, whoa… sinse when was Mrs. Pierce there. Did she me eye-sexing up her daughter? I hope not.
"Of course my tempting Satan" Brittany giggles grabbing me hand; letting me lead her to my car. I open the door for her and wait for her to get fully in before I hop into the driver's seat.
After a few minutes of driving, Brittany turned the music down and faced me. "So where are you taking me? This doesn't look like the way to BreadStix."
"Because it's not love, BreadStix isn't right for tonight."
"Than where you taking us?"
"It's a secret, now just sit back and relax." I reach over grabbing her hand in mine. Tonight's going to be perfect. I rub my thumb over the back of her hand, in attempts to secretly calm my own nerves.
We drove for about twenty minutes, Brittany kept asking me questions about where we were going, but she kept on receiving the same answer. Am I never going to find this place? Ugh I use to be here a lot faster. Finally I spotted the water ahead of us and my spirits lifted as the familiar area came into sight. I pulled over into a grassy parking lot, and jumped out of the car; Brittany eyed me suspiciously as I got her door for her.
"What is this place?"
"You'll see."
I hold my arm out and lead Brittany away from the car and down a narrow wooden path to a clearing looking over a crystal blue lake. I heard Brittany gasp beside me as I lead her to the blanket that I set up earlier near the edge of the hill, the blue cooler and basket still in the middle of the blanket. "It's beautiful" Brittany whispered as we sat down on the blanket.
"I use to come out here to think when I was younger, we lived not too far from here before we moved into the city, then I came here when ever I could." I folded my hands in my lap and looked straight out into the blue abyss. "You're the first person I've ever brought out here." I admit quietly.
"It's beautiful, almost as beautiful as you." Chuckling quietly I look up at Brittany to kiss her gently on the lip's.
"That's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard." I murmured against her lips. As I pull away I reach into the cooler and pull out bowl of Macaroni salad, two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a bottle of orange sanpellegrino. All of Brittany's favorites. Pulling out the needed plates and glasses I set out our meal in front of us.
"Greatest date meal ever!" Brittany squealed as she took half of her peanut butter sandwich and took a huge bite. I giggled as I nibbled at my meal, never breaking eye contact with the beautiful blue orb's that shined at me.
"Come here." I insist as we move the all the food and plates out of our way. I open my arm for Brittany to lean into me. She lay's her head on my lap, curling up to face the sunset; I run my finger's through her curl's, twisting and twirling the blonde strand's absently as I watch her watch the sunset.
"You're absolutely gorgeous, Britt-Britt." Her eye's move from the blue waters to mine, her smile softening as she brings her hand up; I lean into her touch as she drags a finger down my cheek.
"Thank you, for everything." She reached up touching our lips together; I feel her tongue trance along the bottom of my lip and I let her in. I feel her hand gently push my shoulders to the ground; I pulled away from the kiss to look into her eyes.
"Come on babe its dessert time; and it isn't the dessert you want now." A smirk spreads across my lips as Brittany gives me an adorable pout and pushes herself to a sitting position. I open the cooler and pull out some fruit and chocolate icing.
"We don't have a plug in, so I thought we'd improvise for the chocolate part of fondue."
