As Brittany came down from her high, she sucked in quick breaths, staring wide-eyed at Santana who was looking back at her tenderly. When her breathing returned to normal, a sly smile graced her face. "So…," she said, twirling a lock of Santana's hair around her index finger, "your turn." And with that, she pushed Santana over, draping her own body over Santana's and kissing her fast and hard. Santana yelped in surprise but just as quickly smiled into the kiss, feeling every part of her body burn so deliciously.


Afterward, Santana rested her head on Brittany's chest with Brittany's arms wrapped around her. Santana had never felt more at peace, listening to Brittany's steady heartbeat and feeling Brittany's hands playing with her hair.

Suddenly, Brittany broke the silence. "I think we just made love," she said matter-of-factly.

Santana looked up at Brittany and smiled. "Yeah, Britt, I think we did."

Brittany grinned. "Santana?"

"Mmhmm?"

"You know that thing you said earlier?"

Santana scrunched her nose. "That was embarrassing. Just pretend it never happened."

"No!" Brittany said. "I thought it was really sweet."

Santana looked her in the eyes again. "Really?"

"Uh huh."

Santana smiled satisfyingly to herself. "Good."

"Well, since you told me how you felt, I wanted to return the favor."

This intrigued Santana. "Yeah?" She lifted her head off Brittany and propped her body up on her elbows, looking at Brittany expectantly.

"Yeah." Brittany took a deep breath. "Well, here goes. Santana Lopez, I've fallen so deeply in love with you that I can't even see the surface anymore. I've been falling for you since the moment we met, and, somehow, I'm still falling because every day, I love you even more than the day before. If I could do it all over again…" She paused, thinking deeply. "I would fall even harder."

Santana stared at Brittany adoringly like a love-struck child, causing Brittany to giggle and give her a short but sweet kiss. Then Brittany rested her cheek against Santana's, and, with her lips against Santana's ears, she murmured, "As far as I can remember, I've been falling in love with you my whole life, and I loved every, single moment of it."

And so they both just cuddled like that for what felt like the longest time and the shortest time. Finally, Brittany nudged Santana who whined in response. "What, Britt-Britt?"

"Shower."

"I don't want to. I like this."

Brittany kissed her forehead. "I like this, too, but we're going to forget how to walk if we stay in bed any longer. C'mon, Sanny."

Santana pouted.

Brittany started to get up, prying Santana's hands away from her.

"No!" Santana exclaimed dramatically.

"You're such a lazy butt, San." Brittany was standing at the side of the bed now, looking down at Santana disapprovingly. Then she pulled at Santana's legs to drag her off the bed.

Santana squealed and clung onto the headboard.

"Come on, Santana," Brittany said. Santana didn't budge. Brittany needed a new tactic, and she knew exactly what it was going to be. Bit by bit, she bent down toward Santana and edged toward her ear. With her lips grazing Santana's earlobe, she purred, "Round two in the shower?"

As much as Santana would love another round in the shower, she decided to tease Brittany just a little more. "That's very tempting, Britt-Britt, but no, thank you."

Brittany crossed her arms and frowned. Santana thought it was adorable. "Well," Brittany said, "I guess I only have one choice left." With that, she scooped Santana up in her arms and carried her to the bathroom.

"Oh, my God!" Santana screamed, too taken aback to say anything else. "What are you doing?"

Brittany smirked at Santana and kissed the girl in her arms to stop the screaming. "You know you like it."

Santana rolled her eyes. Fine. So maybe being manhandled by Brittany was totally hot, but she wasn't going to say it out loud.
