A/N: HELLO! Kinda late in the week I know, but hey I promised a chapter a week! Sorry this one took forever to get out. Work decided to kick my ass all week. I work at a seasonal place and this coming Sunday begins our off-season so I'll have a ton of time to write. Which is good for all of you, because that means a ton more chapters are coming your way! I know, I'm awesome that way. Anywho, I'm loving everyone's feedback on this story! Reviews seriously make my day. And I love having a group of you religiously reviewing every chapter and I also love all the new ones! Don't be shy to tell me what you think about it! I'll even incorporate any ideas you have into the story if you want!
To my "Star Reviewers"-
Hometownbitches18- I'm writing like a machine! I promise to keep them coming! Also, this chapter is pretty cute if I do say so myself. Hope you enjoy!
Sarah-Pimz- It's funny cause the whole time I was writing the kissing part I was actually squealing to myself as well. I woo myself with my own mind lol. I hope to get more squeals from you on this chapter!
Le Guest- I love everything about this couple too. They are the only reason I watch the show anymore. I just hope to catch a glimpse of them lol. Oh how they torture us!
GabrielaSnixx- Thank you! I tried not to rush it but I needed a kiss in there! I couldn't wait anymore! Although this doesn't mean I'm gonna have them married in this chapter. I'm still gonna build it slow with them, let them explore together. It's all about little details for me. Hope to hear from you on this one!
Lexi- You are exactly right. I hate when authors drag out the relationship but then completely give up on the story before its even finished. I have zero plans to do that. This is my very first attempt at writing ANYTHING and I'm loving every minute of it. I fall back in love with these girls with every chapter. I even have ideas for other stories, but I'm not doing any of them until I finish this one- and that's not for a while. I also gotta say something in your last review sparked something for this chapter so I hope you really like it! Lemme know please how I did!
HeYa-GLeeK12- I'm sporting the Grinch grin right now. I loved your feedback! And as you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of Sam's. I didn't like how they changed his character over the seasons, then add on his relationship with Brittany and I grew to loathe him. But I'm not gonna have him get in the way anymore this story in case people reading this do like him and I don't wanna make them mad. But yeah, I like a confident Brittany. I hate stories that make her seem like a child. So, I hope this chapter gets me back in your good graces for taking so long to update (please?) and I hope to hear what you thought about this one!
TasCar19- Thank you! I love that you love this too! That kiss was a weight off my chest. I wanted it to be perfect and not seem rushed. And apparently I did it! So thank you for letting me know! And continue I shall!
Roxy-Lu- My Brittany doesn't take stuff laying down! Girls gonna fight back lol! And this chapter you get to see exactly what you asked for! This chapter has some serious fluff to it! Enjoy!
Guest- I agree. I really wanted Santana to hit him, but I didn't wanna drag out the Sam/Brittany/Santana triangle. A lot of people don't like that, including me, but trust me I know where you're coming from. I've actually seen that happen in my own life and I want everyone to know how that's so incredibly wrong. I promise nothing like that will happen again in the story. From now on, it's pure Brittana. Thank you so much for letting me know how you felt. It means a lot to me and I hope this chapter is better for ya! Let me know!
Guest 2- Thank you! I like it too lol.
Brittana-Forever-LOVE- Thank you for reviewing! Love makes the writing go faster!
Heather- I couldn't have gotten this out without your help! I blame you for my cramped up hand!
I'd love to hear from all of you! If you wanna just leave one word I'm completely fine with that! Or you can PM me or hit me up on twitter at "Sweet82405". I love talking about what I'm writing there. Speak your mind!
And now, without further ado…ENJOY!
Disclaimer- I own nothing Glee related. If I did, all the recent spoilers would come with HD pictures!
Chapter 10
It happened.
It finally happened.
The inevitable first kiss.
And it couldn't have been more perfect. Brittany thought about that kiss all night. She couldn't sleep. She just laid in bed and envisioned the kiss over and over again.
How Santana was in such a hurry to get to her that she left her precious car door open and vulnerable. How she ran to her, grabbed her arm and didn't even give her a chance to speak before diving on her. It was amazing. Her first kiss was with someone she really liked and it wasn't clumsy and rushed. It was sweet and sensual. They both put their hearts into it.
It was a good thing that she didn't have school the next day, because Brittany never closed her eyes all night.
It was around 1am that her phone buzzed on her night stand. The house was dead silent and the noise caused her heart to pound like crazy. She reached over and picked up her blinking phone and saw she had a new text message. It was from Santana.
To Brittany- you awake?
Brittany reached up to click on her lamp and sat up a little higher against her headboard.
To Santana- Yes. Why aren't you asleep?
To Brittany- Why aren't you?
To Santana- Just can't seem to shut my mind off. You?
To Brittany- My hearts beating a mile a minute.
Was Santana sick? She looked fine earlier.
To Santana- Why? What's the matter?
To Brittany- I got to kiss a beautiful girl tonight and I can't stop thinking about it.
Brittany's smile lit up her whole face. She even shuffled her feet under her sheets because she was so giddy.
To Santana- I've got the same problem.
To Brittany- So I guess I'm to blame for our insomnia?
To Santana- I'd say so.
To Brittany- Would you be offended if I said I wasn't sorry about it?
To Santana- Not at all.
To Brittany- Good. So what are you doing to pass the time?
To Santana- Staring at the ceiling. You?
To Brittany- Nothing special. Wanna watch a movie with me?
Brittany looked down at her phone in confusion. How were they suppose to watch a movie?
To Santana- How?
To Brittany- You have Netflix?
To Santana- Yeah?
To Brittany- So let's pick a movie and watch it together.
Brittany now understood what she meant, so she quickly turned her TV on and clicked on the Netflix app. As the screen was loading her profile, her phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey stranger. What do you feel like watching?"
Brittany felt her heart beat pick up just from hearing Santana's voice. Especially now with her slightly raspy sleepy voice.
"I'm in the mood for a happy movie." Brittany said as she scrolled down to the romantic comedy section.
"Alright, well do you see any good ones?"
They both continued scrolling until Brittany landed on her favorite movie.
"How about Dirty Dancing?"
"I love that movie. Girl falls in love with a dance instructor. Classic."
Brittany was so happy Santana liked that movie too. It was the first movie to make her fall in love with dancing.
"Okay, on the count of three, we click play. One, two, three!"
They both clicked it and it started at the same time.
"Here we go." Santana whispered.
"This is the best part of the whole movie." Brittany said, practically crawling towards her screen to see it better.
"I know. When he comes through the door and walks straight up to her table. Ugh, I love it."
They talked back and forth through the whole movie. Making comments about their favorite parts, quoting the lines, or even just talking.
When the movie was over it was almost 4am.
"Hey Britt?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you tired?"
"Honestly, no. I feel wired."
"Ugh me too. What else can we do?"
Brittany looked around her room like the answer would just pop out. Her eyes landed on a picture from a couple of years ago that she took of her family on a camping trip and an idea popped into her head.
"Put on the warmest clothes you have and meet me out back." Brittany told the brunette as she started collecting items all over her room.
"Why? Where are were going?" Santana asked confused.
"You'll see. Now hurry! I'll see you out there." Brittany hung up the phone and grabbed her warmest hoody with a hat, gloves, boots, and a scarf. She then grabbed two of her throw blankets, a comforter, and two pillows. She bundled it all up and quietly made her way downstairs into the kitchen. She pulled out a pot and filled it with water then set it on the stove to heat up. Then she went out into the garage and found the box labeled "Camping Gear" and pulled out a lantern.
When she got back to the kitchen, the water on the stove was just starting to boil so she grabbed the thermos and poured some hot chocolate mix in it then poured the boiling water in as well. She made sure to grab two mugs, then carried everything out to her back yard.
Brittany laid out the comforter on the grass, placed the two pillows together, turned on the lantern and put it up near the pillows and then put the folded throw blankets on the comforter with the thermos and mugs.
A small click was heard from the latch on the wooden gate door and Santana poked her head in. Brittany smiled and waved her over. Santana was in a pair of black baggy sweatpants, a two-sizes too big black Chanel hoody and the winter gear Brittany had given her, plus a pair of fuzzy cream-colored boots.
Even though she talked to the girl almost the whole night, Brittany felt like she hadn't seen her in forever. Her heart started pounding and her face started heating up when she remembered the last time she saw the girl.
"Hey stranger. Whatchya got here?" Santana smiled, motioning down to the spread out.
"I thought we could camp out here and watch the sun come up. Unless that's really stupid?" Brittany looked down kinda embarrassed now.
"No! This is perfect. I've never done this before." Santana walked closer to the blankets and kneeled down.
"First you've never been to a pumpkin patch, now you've never been camping? You've gotta make a list of all the things you've never done and we are gonna do them."
Brittany sat down and handed Santana a mug then poured some steaming hot chocolate in it. Santana then grabbed one of the blankets and draped it around her shoulders as she sat Indian-style facing the blonde. Brittany picked up her own mug and blanket and copied the girl across from her.
"I told you, my parents were really busy when I was growing up. It was hard having two parents with demanding jobs. I'm glad though that I get to experience these things now. Thanks to you." Santana winked over her mug as she took a sip.
Brittany glanced down at her lap and smiled bashfully.
"I'm happy too. I'm happy to show you these things. I'm happy I got to be the one to give you all these first experiences."
"You were another one of my firsts earlier." Santana grinned.
Brittany looked at her confused.
"You're the first girl I've ever kissed." Santana stated.
Brittany loved that. They were each others first girl kiss.
"Me too. You were my actual first kiss." Brittany giggled nervously.
"Are you serious?"
Brittany nodded.
"I'm so sorry."
Santana looked so guilty and Brittany didn't understand why.
"What for?"
"I took your first kiss. You should've chosen your first kiss and I just swooped in and took that from you. I feel like such an idiot now." Santana looked so upset with herself.
"Hey." Brittany reached her left hand out and grabbed Santana's right. Santana looked up at her.
"Because of you, my first kiss was perfect. I don't regret a single second of it. You didn't take anything away from me. You gave me something."
Santana still didn't look convinced.
"Still I shouldn't have-" Santana was interrupted by Brittany's lips gently pressing into hers.
Brittany didn't want Santana to second-guess anything so she just leaned over and kissed her. And it was even better than before. Her whole body warmed up instantly. Santana's lips tasted so good, like strawberries. It was probably from her lip balm, but it was distinctly Santana.
Her perfume was faint from being applied earlier in the day, but Brittany still smelled it and it was intoxicating. It made her head feel like she was floating.
They both separated after it felt like hours when really it was only seconds. Santana's eyes slowly opened and they were almost black. Both girls were breathing heavy, their eyes latched on one another.
"Now you're my first and second kiss, by choice. Brittany whispered.
Santana's eyes shifted back and forth over Brittany's face before settling on her lips.
"Well as long as its your choice, I have no arguments here."
Both girls smiled before Brittany laid down on the blanket, Santana following. They both turned so they were facing each other.
"So tell me something you've never done before." Santana asked curiously.
Brittany thought about it for a few seconds.
"I've never skipped school. Not once."
Santana smiled big at that one.
"I must've done it fifty times. Just waited for my parents to leave then I'd go back home. I didn't live far from my last school so I'd just go home and they never knew."
Brittany laughed.
"Of course you'd do the bad things."
Santana just smiled and shrugged.
"Tell me another."
They talked all night. About anything and everything. It was around six in the morning when the sun started rising, warming the girls up from the chilly night. And with the warmth it also brought the sleepiness out in them. They were huddled close for warmth and as the sun got higher, their eyes just slowly closed and they both finally drifted off to sleep.
Brittany felt someone touching her. It was very faint, but it was enough to wake her from a deep sleep. She opened her eyes very slowly, the sun causing her to squint at its brightness. Brittany found she was still in the same position as when she fell asleep. She was on her left side facing the sleeping brunette, both huddled under their blankets trying to stay warm.
Trying to figure out what woke her, Brittany was starting to sit up when she felt it again. Brittany looked down at her hands and saw the cutest thing ever.
Santana was rubbing the cuff of Brittany's hoody with her fingers. It was very gentle, almost like a caress. Just a smooth brushing between her fingers.
Brittany smiled at the girls antics. It felt like she was reaching for Brittany even in her sleep. Brittany let her eyes roam over the sleeping girls face. She looked so peaceful laying next to her.
Brittany heard her back door open and saw her mom stick her head out. Linda looked at both girls adoringly. She saw them laying out there earlier but didn't have the heart to wake them. It just reminded her of when she found them asleep on the couch.
Linda signaled to Brittany to see if she was hungry. Brittany nodded and pointed over to Santana. Linda got her message and nodded back with a smile. She watched the girls for another second before turning back into the kitchen to get started on breakfast.
Brittany laid her head back down and brought her hand up to Santana's face. She slowly ran the tip of her finger down Santana's nose, gently waking her up.
Santana's forehead crinkled as she slowly began to wake up.
"Mmm." Santana grumbled.
"San." Brittany whispered so as not to startle her.
"Hm?"
"Hey, my mom's making breakfast. You hungry?" Santana turned and rubbed her face against the pillow. She was so damn cute.
"What time is it?" Santana asked in a rough, gravelly voice.
Brittany pulled out her phone.
"It's a little after eight-thirty."
Santana sat up and looked around the yard. Brittany leaned up on her elbows watching her.
"Well?" Brittany asked.
Santana looked back at her and smirked.
"I could eat. Lemme just run home real quick and see if my parents are up. Don't wanna get in trouble for disappearing all night. I'll be right back."
Santana stood up and stretched before throwing Brittany a wink and heading to the side gate. Brittany gathered up their stuff and carried it into the house. Linda was at the stove making eggs and sausage.
"Where's Santana?" Linda asked noticing the missing brunette.
"She'll be right back. She just went to check in at her house. Didn't want to get in trouble." Brittany threw the blankets and pillows in the living room then brought the thermos and mugs to the sink.
"So when did the sleeping arrangements change last night?" Linda asked amused.
"We both couldn't sleep so I suggested it." Brittany shrugged, trying to act non-chalant.
"And?"
"And it was amazing! Mom, we talked all night! Just about anything. It was the best night of my life." Brittany gushed. She couldn't hold in her excitement anymore.
"I'm glad sweetie. You two are so cute. I could see it from day one. You girls are gonna go far."
Brittany grinned at her mom.
"She kissed me."
Linda spun around and looked at her daughter.
"Are you serious?"
Brittany grinned and nodded.
"I knew I liked that girl."
Brittany giggled then heard a knock at the front door.
"I'll get it."
Brittany jogged down to the door and opened it to find Santana leaning on the door frame.
"Hey again stranger."
Brittany smiled then opened the door wider for Santana to come in.
"Hey. Did you get in trouble?"
Santana shook her head.
"No, they didn't even notice I was gone."
"Good. I'd hate it if you got in trouble because of me."
"It'd be worth it."
Brittany blushed and led them back to the kitchen. Linda was just starting to plate everyone's food.
"Good morning Santana! I hope you're hungry."
"I'm starving thanks."
Both girls sat down at the table, Brittany reached over to pour herself and Santana a glass of orange juice.
"Where's dad and Aly?" Brittany asked noticing their absence.
"I let them sleep in. We don't have anything planned for today, so why not? What about you two?"
Linda brought the plates over and they all started digging in.
"Actually, now that you mention it. Is it cool if we have a sleepover tonight with Quinn? We want to have a girls night."
"I have no problem with it! I'll order you girls a pizza and I'll give you some money to run out and get some snacks and drinks. Is it gonna be in your room?" Linda got up to bring more food to the table.
"Yeah. That way dad doesn't have to hide upstairs all day."
"Hey, why don't we invite your sister?" Santana asked.
"Aly? Are you sure its okay?" Brittany thought it was so sweet of Santana to include her.
"Yeah I'm sure. It'll give me a chance to get to know the littlest Pierce." Santana joked.
"I'll ask her. Do you wanna run out to the store with me?" Brittany was finishing up her breakfast and saw Santana's almost empty plate too.
"Sure. Lemme take a quick shower at my house and I'll be right over."
Both girls helped Linda clean up the kitchen then went to get ready.
"Thanks for breakfast Linda. You keep me well fed." Santana smiled at Brittany's mom as she turned to leave.
"You better come back here." Linda said in a stern voice.
Both Brittany and Santana looked at her confused before Santana walked back over. Linda pulled her into a bone-crushing hug and whispered something gently in her ear. Brittany felt her heart melt at the sight. She was so happy her mom really liked Santana.
Santana whispered something back then pulled out of Linda's embrace, both smiling like crazy at each other.
"Now you missy." Linda crooked her finger at Brittany and Brittany walked over and squeezed her mom.
"You hold on to this girl Britt." Linda whispered in her ear.
"I will." Brittany whispered back.
"Here's forty bucks. Get whatever you want." Linda gave her the money then shoo-ed them out of the kitchen.
"I love your mom. She's such a sweetheart." Santana commented as they neared the front door.
"Well I happen to love your mother too. We both got lucky."
"Yeah we did."
Both girls stood in front of each other smiling, not quite ready to leave each other.
"Guess I should go." Santana shrugged.
"Guess so. You still coming with me?" Brittany tucked her hands into the pouch on her hoody.
"I wouldn't miss it. I'll be back in no time." Santana took a step closer to Brittany.
"Good, cause I want you to go with me." Brittany whispered because they were practically up against each other. She could feel the body heat coming off of Santana.
"I really wanna go with you." Santana whispered back.
"I don't want you to leave." Brittany nudged her nose against Santana's.
"Neither do I…."
Their lips grazed each other and Brittany was just leaning in to make it deeper.
*SQUEEK!*
Brittany and Santana pulled back at the noise. Brittany knew it was the floor board at the top of the stairs, meaning someone was coming down. Both girls watched Tom walk down, completely oblivious.
"Morning girls!"
Tom made his way towards the kitchen, not before stopping to give Brittany a kiss on her forehead.
Brittany was so bummed. She was milliseconds away from kissing Santana again. She looked back at Santana and noticed the pout on her face from the interruption.
"Sorry." Brittany mumbled.
"It's fine. I better head over so I can shower real quick."
"Okay. I'll see you in a few minutes." Brittany opened the door then felt a hand grab her arm and lips press into her cheek.
"You owe me a real one now." Santana whispered in her ear. Her lips were right up against Brittany's ear and the feel of them made goosebumps break out on her skin.
Santana ran her hand down Brittany's arm as she walked out the door. Brittany stood frozen watching her walk away. Her body tingled all over and an overwhelming amount of heat was pounding between her legs. All from a brush of Santana's lips against her ear.
Brittany knew the second she saw Santana she was gonna pay her back.
Brittany grabbed a cart as they walked into the grocery store. Santana was behind her kinda pouty again because as soon as they both climbed into Brittany's car to go to the store, they both started leaning into each other to get back their ruined kiss when Santana's mom called her cell phone, interrupting them again. Santana grabbed her phone in frustration and grumbled a "what" into the speaker. Brittany guessed Marie didn't like her daughter's attitude because two seconds later she was apologizing. Brittany just shook her head and smiled before pulling out of the driveway.
Brittany headed towards the snack aisle and started grabbing bags of chips.
"Any particular flavor you want?" Brittany asked the still sulking brunette.
"Barbeque is fine."
Brittany grabbed a bag and turned back to Santana.
"Hey."
Santana looked at her. Brittany crooked her finger at her and Santana shuffled forward. When she was closer, Brittany reached out and grabbed the lapels of her jacket and brought her closer. She then leaned in and pecked Santana on the lips, bringing Santana's dimpled-grin back out.
"Don't be grumpy." Brittany whispered.
Santana leaned up and pecked her back.
"I can't be grumpy around you."
They both smiled at each other one more time, loving this new step in their friendship/relationship, before venturing to the pop aisle.
Brittany got in line at the registers and started unloading her stuff on the belt.
"Shit, I'll be right back Britt. I was suppose to grab something for my mom." Santana turned down one aisle and disappeared. Brittany noticed it was her turn in line and walked up to the register. The cashier was a cute brunette with bright blue eyes. She looked to be around Brittany's age, but Brittany never saw her before.
"This looks like a fun night." The cashier, Leah as it said on her name tag, motioned towards all the junk food and pop.
"Yeah, it's a girls night at my house. Gotta stock up." Brittany joked.
"Sounds like my kinda night." Leah smirked.
"I had a rough week at school so I'm using this to get over that. Nothing a little junk food can't cure."
"What school do you go to?" Leah asked as she bagged everything up.
"McKinley High."
"I knew I recognized you. Aren't you in their Glee Club?"
"Yeah?
"I go to Carmel High. I'm in Vocal Adrenaline. I watched you dance at the competition. You're amazing."
Brittany was flattered by her comment.
"Thank you. You guys were pretty good too."
"You just wait. We'll get you guys next time." Leah joked challengingly.
"Oh you wish!" Brittany laughed back.
*BOOM!*
Both girls turned at the sound of something being slammed on the conveyor belt. Santana stood there glaring daggers at Leah.
"Can we hurry this up? Some of us got places to be."
Brittany frowned at Santana's tone. Why was she so angry all of a sudden?
"Your total is $17.50." Leah told Brittany.
Brittany handed her a twenty dollar bill.
"Keep the change." Brittany felt bad for the girl.
Leah smiled at her then proceeded to ring up Santana's stuff.
"That's $9.98." Leah's tone dropped when she spoke to Santana. Both girls glared at each other before Santana handed her a ten dollar bill.
"Keep the change." Santana said in a fake sweet voice.
"Two cents? You're so considerate." Leah shot back in the same fake tone.
"It's actually very considerate, considering how badly I wanna punch-"
"OKAY! Leah it was nice meeting you! Let's go Santana!" Brittany interrupted before anything bad might happen.
They grabbed their bags and headed towards the exit.
"I'll see you around Brittany." Leah smiled at her which seemed to piss Santana off even more.
"How do you know my name?" Brittany didn't remember saying it earlier.
"I told you I remembered you. A girl that can dance like that deserves to be remembered." Leah winked at her.
Santana started moving back towards Leah before Brittany grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Santana don't." Brittany begged.
Santana gave Leah one final glare before latching onto Brittany's hand.
"Let's go Britt."
Leah's glance fell to their clasped hands and she narrowed her eyes.
Santana nearly dragged Brittany back to her car, threw the bags in the back seat then climbed into the passenger seat with a slam of her door.
Brittany placed her bags in the back seat as well then climbed into the driver seat before turning to look at a fuming Santana.
"What was that all about?" Brittany asked her.
"What was what about?" Santana questioned back.
"Uh the situation two seconds ago. I was just talking to Leah and you flipped out on her for no reason."
"Oh Leah, huh? On first name basis already?"
"I noticed it on her name tag."
"Well how did she know you? Seemed like you two knew each other pretty well."
Brittany looked at Santana closely. Was she…jealous?
"Santana, are you jealous?"
"Excuse me? Am I jealous of that bottle brunette? Gimme a break." Santana flopped back in her seat and crossed her arms.
Everything in her body language screamed jealousy to Brittany. She smiled because this was completely adorable.
"San?"
"What?" Santana continued to look straight ahead.
"She knew me because she's in our rival Glee Club and we just crushed them at the last competition. That's all."
Santana narrowed her eyes.
"That's all? Are you kidding me? Did you not seem to notice how she was checking you out? Or how horrible of a flirt she is? I could see her practically undressing you with her eyes." Santana exploded.
Brittany watched her for a few seconds before leaning over and kissing her jaw. Santana turned to her confused.
"I kinda like you all jealous. It's hot." Brittany joked.
Santana's cheeks twitched which meant she was fighting back a smile.
"I'm not jealous."
"Good. Because you have no reason to be. I already like someone." Brittany turned the engine on and started to pull out of the spot.
"Anyone in particular?" Santana asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes."
"So I got some competition then?" Santana challenged.
"Not unless you enjoy fighting with yourself."
Santana reached over and pulled Brittany's right hand from the steering wheel and laced her fingers through Brittany's and laid them on the consol.
"Good to know."
A/N 2- Sooooo what would you say if I told you chapter 11 is just sitting here? Should I post soon or should I wait? Decisions, decisions…..you let me know!
