Chapter 9

''Santana, please hand me the mashed potatoes''

''Here you go, daddy''

''Thank you. So, Brittany, were your parents born in Australia or in the United States?'' Mr. Lopez tried to make some conversation. He wanted to know more about the girl his daughter was crazy about.

Brittany swallowed her food and wiped her mouth with a napkin. ''Um, well my mom was born in California and my dad was born here. It's pretty cool because I am half American and half Australian, although I was born in Ohio''

''Interesting, but how did your parents meet?'' Mrs. Lopez asked.

''In high school dad was in an exchange program and he went to California to mom's school and that's how they met. When dad came back to Australia they kept in touch via email for a few months until they got really busy on their last year of high school and they stopped talking. Then dad decided he would go to college in California, and they met once again, fell in love, finished studying, moved to Ohio and 2 years later I was born. They never got married though. When I was 3 dad moved back to Australia because he and mom were having problems with each other'' Brittany slightly frowned.

Santana grabbed her hand and pressed it tightly as she gave her an apologetic look. Brittany smiled and gestured it was okay.

''I am sorry to hear that Brittany'' Mrs. Lopez also gave her an apologetic look.

''it's okay. I was very little so I didn't have a hard time. I didn't even understand what was going on, honestly I don't even remember. But it's been cool because I get to come here every summer and visit Dad and my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins'' Brittany said cheerfully.

''Do you have any other siblings?''

''Okay guys stop, let Brittany eat! This is not 21 questions!'' Santana rolled her eyes.

Brittany giggled. ''Don't worry San, I really don't mind. Yes, I have a baby sister. Her name is Brooke and she's 2 years old. Her father is my mom's husband''

''I didn't know you had a baby sister, Britt'' Santana looked confused.

''That's because you've never asked me. Hold on a second'' The blonde took out her phone and showed Santana a photo of her sister. ''That's Brooke, isn't she adorable?''

The baby was just like Brittany but in a smaller version, she had big blue eyes short blonde hair. Brittany showed Santana's parents the photo as well.

''She's very cute, she looks a lot like you''

''Thanks Mrs. Lopez'' Brittany smiled.

''You're welcome honey, and please call me Gloria''

Brittany nodded and took a zip of her drink.

There was a short silence and everyone continued eating.

''So, when are you going back to USA?''

''In a month. I have to go back to school, it's my last year''

''Do you already know what you want to study?'' Mr. Lopez asked.

''Yes, I want to be a physical therapist. But I still don't know which University I am going to''

''That sounds good. See Santana? You should also start thinking about what you want to do with your life''

''I know dad! I just haven't had the time yet''

''This is kind of personal, but I'd really like to know. Does your family know you like girls the same way you are supposed to like boys?''

''OMG mom! Why would you ask that?!'' Santana's face was red in embarrassment.

Once again Brittany giggled. ''Relax, San. Yes, they do. I came out to my Australian family 2 years ago and last year I came out to my American family. My stepfather already knew but I was scared to tell mom because I thought her reaction wouldn't be good. But at the end both of my families were really okay with me and they support me a lot''

''That is very good, I am glad they accepted you. When Santana told us we weren't very surprised, we already saw it coming so I guess it was probably easier for her''

''Well I think coming out mustn't be very easy. So I admire everyone who has had the courage to do it.'' Mr. Lopez added.

''Indeed'' Brittany smiled. ''Well thank you for dinner, it was delicious!''

''You're welcome. I am glad you liked it''

''Yeah, thanks mom. Britt, let's go to my room!''

They went inside Santana's room and Brittany threw herself on the bed and landed on her face and began to laugh.

''What are you doing?''

''I don't know. Your bed looked really comfortable'' Brittany sat down.

''You crazy girl'' Santana gave her a peck on her lips. ''I am sorry my parents asked all those questions. They are like that when they meet any of my friends, especially if they know it's someone I like''

''I told you not to worry San. I am awesome with parents and it's because I am very honest when I answer their questions''

''Yeah, you're perfect, I already knew that''

Brittany smiled and hugged the Latina. ''I am not perfect. We are perfect, together''

''So now we are together?''

The blonde broke the embrace and looked at Santana with disappointment. ''I thought so. Is it too soon? I'm sorry.

Santana didn't answer for a while. ''Britt, I said I loved you, right? Well I meant it, I really did. But to be honest, I don't know if I can give you a relationship right now. Because I truly don't know what I want, but I do know that I don't want to hurt you''

''No Santana, you are great, and I will wait until you are ready. I want this to work, I really do''

Santana sighed and then smiled. ''You are way too good for me''

Brittany giggled and took Santana's hand, interlacing her fingers around hers. ''But I always had a thing for bad girls''

The blonde leaned in to kiss the brunette but she was stopped by the sound of someone knocking on the door. Brittany quickly went back to her place.

''Come in!'' Santana yelled.

''San, we just received a call from the hospital, one of our patients is not okay. We will have to go back and see what's wrong. I am sorry mija'' Her opened her arms and Santana got up and hugged her.

''Don't worry guys. I will stay with Brittany. Go save some lives!''

Mr. Lopez hugged his daughter. Both her parents said goodbye to Brittany and left.

''I am sorry they had to go'' Brittany hugged Santana.

''Don't worry about it. I am already used to this. I understand that this is their job''

''Well you're a strong girl Santana. You've learned to live and do things on your own most of the time. You are amazing''

''It hasn't been easy but I can handle this. Thanks Britt-Britt. Now let's stop talking about sad things because I don't want to be sad''

''Yeah, me neither'' Brittany got up and faced towards the window as she contemplated the view. ''Santana?''

The Latina wiped a small tear that had fallen from her eye. ''Yes?''

''Have you ever had sex with a girl?''

Santana laughed in a nervous tone. ''What?''

Brittany slightly blushed. ''Yeah, have you ever gone down there?''

''Well yes, I have. Have you?''

''Not really to be honest''

''Oh.'' There was an awkward silence for a very long time.

Santana cleared her throat. ''its 8:00PM. Do you want to watch a movie or something?''

''No, not really. I am actually very tired, San. Do you mind if I go to sleep now?''

''I don't mind. I will try to sleep too. Even though I basically slept the entire afternoon''

Both girls laid on the bed.

Santana got up and went to get something from the bathroom. ''Roll over''

''What? Why?''

''Just roll over so that your chest is touching the bed''

Brittany did as Santana told her. ''What am I doing this for?''

''I am going to give you a massage so you can fall asleep'' She lifted up her tank top and unstrapped her bra as she put some body lotion on her hand and began massaging the blonde's back with it.

''This is so good, thanks Santana'' Brittany moaned.

''Haha! You should get used to this'' She softly pressed gentle kisses from Brittany's neck to the end of her back making her body tingle.

''I love you so much, San. I'm so happy I met you and I don't know what I'll do when I have to go back to USA''

''I love you too Britt. And I'm also happy we met. But don't worry about that yet, we still have one month left and we will enjoy every second of it. Okay?''

''You're right. Santana, do you think you can sing a song for me before I fall asleep?''

Santana thought for a few seconds and cleared her throat.

''Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow''

''That's so beautiful. You have the sweetest voice ever. Do you know that?''

Santana smiled. ''It's a normal singing voice. And I wasn't finished yet.'' She came close to the blonde's ear and sang:

''Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so''

Brittany didn't say anything, Santana checked on her and she was already fast asleep. She kissed her cheek and put a blanket over her. Santana wasn't feeling sleepy so she turned on her laptop and sat on the bed right next to Brittany. She looked at the girl who was right beside her, she looked very tired but she still had a beautiful face that gave Santana peace, Brittany made her feel like everything would be okay no matter what and it was almost clear she was the only one she wanted.

Quinn was her best friend, but that was it. Whatever happened between the both of them was over and it wasn't going to happen again, even if that meant hurting Quinn's feelings. The truth had to be said. Santana was over Quinn.

She made Santana smile even when she was sleeping, if this wasn't love then what else could it be?

Suddenly Santana got a message on Facebook, it was from Puck. He asked her if they could talk tomorrow. Santana didn't doubt about it anymore and she agreed, she also said she would bring Brittany along so Puck could finally meet her.

For the next two hours Santana stayed on Facebook talking nonsense with Puck. She tried very hard not to laugh because she knew she would wake up Brittany. It was 10:00PM and finally she was starting to feel tired, she wished Puck a good night, turned off her computer and went to sleep.

Santana opened her eyes, she had slept like a baby. Maybe because she spent the entire day sleeping yesterday and she also went to bed early last night…

''Good morning Santana'' Brittany was already awake and waiting for Santana to wake up too.

''Good morning Britt. Did you get a good rest?'' She yawned and smiled.

''Yes, your bed is so comfortable! But then again, I could be sleeping on a rock, but if I'm next to you I will always get a good rest.''

''You are an adorable person, you know that right?''

Brittany smiled shyly and leaned over to receive a kiss Santana offered her as she closed her eyes and stretched her lips.

The blonde checked the time on her phone. ''San, do you think you can lend me your laptop so I can Skype with my mom real fast. It's just that I promised her we would Skype today, Brooke has been crying a lot because she misses me''

All of Brittany's cuteness and sweetness melted Santana's cold heart and she nodded. ''What time is it though?''

''Well, it's 7:00AM. Mom and Brooke must be waiting for me already!''

Santana turned on the computer and handed it to Brittany.

''Do you want to meet them?''

''Uhm. Maybe at the end I could say a quick hello. You have some family time with them first. I will be right here''

She answered the video call and soon Santana could see the other two girls on the computer screen. There was a blonde woman about 40 years old holding a baby girl who was desperately crying. She could see them but they couldn't see her, what a relief!

''Look Brooke, there's Brittany. Say hi to her'' the woman on the computer tried to calm the little girl who stopped crying right after she saw Brittany's face.

''Hey mom. Hey Brooke. How are you girls?'' Brittany's eyes were glowing with happiness.

''Very good, we all miss you a lot, but Brooke's been asking for you like crazy these past few days. What about you sweetheart?''

''Aw, poor baby. I miss you all too. But I will be there in a month from today. I've been pretty great actually''

As Brittany said she would be there in a month Santana thought about the fact that she would be leaving very soon and how much she would miss her.

''I am happy for you honey. Come on Brooke, talk to your sister''

The baby began to giggle. Her big blue eyes that were covered in tears a while ago were now shining just like her sister's. ''Come home now, Britt''

Brittany laughed. ''I can't go home yet, Brooke. But I promise you I will be there very soon so we can watch all your favorite shows together and color all day long. Oh and guess what?''

Brooke stayed quiet for a moment until the older blonde whispered something in her ear and then she began to speak. ''What?''

''I bought you a surprise gift you will love'' Brittany was constantly smiling and giggling as she had a conversation with the baby.

Santana loved how great Brittany was with her little sister and it warmed her heart the way she spoke to her and she could really tell Brittany loved Brooke and vice versa.

''Mom, I have someone I want you to meet'' Brittany looked at Santana and gave her a warm smile as she gently squeezed her hand. ''This is Santana''

''Hello'' that was the only thing that Santana could say with her raspy voice.

''Hi, Santana, nice to meet you. What a nice accent!'' Brittany's mother smiled.

Santana blushed and smiled. ''Nice to meet you too, and thank you''

''Britt, Santana is very pretty. Is she your girlfriend?'' Brooke wasn't ashamed about saying that but her mother seemed to be quite embarrassed as she didn't say anything.

The two teenage girls quickly glanced at each other. ''No, Brooke, Santana is not my girlfriend. But I like her very much, so it's similar''

''I am sorry girls. Brooke speaks more than she should sometimes. Anyways, It's been great talking to you but it's time to say goodbye because certain little girl needs to take a bath. It was nice meeting you Santana. I will talk to you soon Brittany.''

''It was nice meeting you too!'' Santana quickly smiled and put her thumb up.

''Goodbye mom and goodbye Brooke''

The little girl waved and blew many kisses to the camera.

Brittany turned off the computer. ''Would you like some pancakes?''

''Uhm. I have a better idea. But it doesn't really include pancakes, or eating any type of food'' Santana smirked.

''Oh really? And what would that idea be?'' Brittany grabbed Santana's waist and quickly kissed her shoulders.

Santana laughed. ''We could clean the house…''

Brittany's face expressed confusion.

''I am just kidding. Just kiss me already!'' She jumped on the blonde and wrapped her legs around her waist as she kissed her.

''This is way better than breakfast'' Brittany said between gasps and moans.

''It sure is'' Santana quickly removed the blonde's shirt. ''Yesterday, when you told me you were a virgin, I couldn't really tell if you were telling me to fuck you or not. But now I'm thinking to myself: maybe I should ask you what your intention was when you said that. So in a very polite way, can I fuck you?''

''I thought you'd never ask'' The two girls fell on the bed as Brittany kissed Santana's tan neck. She could taste her sweet vanilla scent.

''Santana? What the hell is this?!''

The girls stopped what they were doing after realizing none of them had said that. They looked at the door. Both of them with their mouths open wide.

''Holy shit!'' those were the only words that came out of Santana's mouth.
