Fly me to the moon
Chapter 10: Shut up and dance with me!
"You wanna hear a joke?" Brittany asks.
"I think is not a good time."
Santana and Brittany stumbled upon with a religious procession at the Ramblas, so they are waiting for people to walk away with the march.
"I know, but it's funny. How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it!" Santana rolled her eyes and the blonde laughed softly. "It's funny because we're watching a procession and even you try to deny it, you almost laughed."
"I did not!" Santana whispers.
"I can make you laugh if I really wanted!" The blonde teases.
"I don't think so."
"Okay. Another chance. ¿Cual es el padre del príncipe Azul?" Brittany stayed in silence for a few seconds. "El blue ray."
"Oh my god is so bad!" Santana could help the laughter, she wasn't expecting it, the blonde would know a joke in Spanish. "I want to cry!"
"Shh… Everyone is looking at us." Brittany tries to chastise the brunette but fails and laughs as well, happy that she made Santana laugh.
Some people were glaring at them and Santana decided the best option is walking away so she grabs Brittany hand to avoid getting lost in the crowd. When they were walking away Brittany phone rang.
"I know today is 11th, and yeah, I've already sent them, don't worry. Bye." Brittany hangs up and saw Santana's face is pale. "What's it? Are you okay?"
"It's…" Santana shook her head "It's the first time ever I forgot my dad's death anniversary."
It's lunch time and both women decided to eat something in a little restaurant near to where they were, since is the last day of Santana in Barcelona they wanted harness the day to the fullest.
"Who do you look more alike, your mum or your dad?" Brittany asked.
"Thank you" Both women said as the waitress brought their food.
"Well, my mother can be very stubborn, she doesn't leave anything to chance. I'm a bit like that."
"You stubborn, no way! I can believe it!" Brittany mocks Santana.
"So nice, blonde!" Santana hits Brittany's shoulder.
"What? It's true!" Brittany laughed.
"But I do like to think, I'm like my dad. He was spirited and passionate. He was crazy about my mum."
Brittany almost choked on her drink, she always thought that Santana would be a passionate person, but now there's no point in thinking about that or even in her feelings for the woman in front of her, it's just a waste of time. In the end, Brittany is glad one of them would reach her happily ever after, maybe some day she will find hers.
"Until you said about your dad passing away, I thought your parents got divorced because of the curse."
"No… He became ill, it was quick… And he never flew me to the moon…."
At that moment Brittany's face lit up and grabbed Santana's wrist.
"What? Wait!"
"Come with me, I had the best idea ever!"
"Where are we going?"
"It's not the moon, but I think it would be close enough!"
Brittany and Santana are walking through the aerodrome, they previously changed their clothes for an overalls. They stopped walking in front of an old big plane, well Santana stopped.
"What? No! No!" Santana is shaking her head vigorously. "No fucking way!"
"Come on! It will be fun!"
"Don't you remember I afraid of flying because I do!" Santana complains while Brittany pushes her towards the plane.
"We will climb vertically for a few minutes and then the plane will be free falling. Got it?" The flight instructor is looking straight in Santana's eyes. "Then, during a moment will be in zero gravity situation. We will repeat the process a couple of times."
"Wait! What!?" Santana is panicking, looking between the instructor and Brittany. "What do you mean zero gravity?"
"How much time will be drifting?" Brittany spoke.
"Approximately, 20 seconds" The instructor answered and gives to the women, two bags.
"For what?"
"If you need to puke, but you know San, just in case!
"What? No, no! I want to get off! Me quiero bajar…." Santana's is done with this ride before it starts.
Brittany is in the changing room, cleaning her face from puke. She has threw up on herself in the last ride of the plane. But, she thought it was worth it, just for the genuine look of happiness on Santana's face during the whole ride. When she changed back into her clothes and walked next to Santana.
"When we'll be back in Barcelona it would be around 10pm. Do you want to do something else? Or we called it a night since you need to get up early to go to the airport at 8am?"
"Um… I thought we should go and celebrate since is my last day here. Are you ready?"
"As long as you don't care being hangover on your flight back to New York, I'm in!"
"I'm a big girl. I can handle it!"
Santana and Brittany are walking back to the blonde's house and they didn't even know what time is it since they lost track of time after their fourth round of shots. Neither of them could walk straight right now so they were leaning into each other in order to find some balance, but they failed so the two landed on the ground and started laughing.
"Come on Britt, we need to go home!" Santana is the first one to get up and offers her hand.
Brittany took the hand, but quickly let it go and started to dance around Santana, she feels like dancing right now and makes Santana laugh.
"Shut up and dance with me!" Now is Brittany's turn to offer her hand to Santana grinning from ear to ear.
Brittany just wanted one dance, one more time is all she's asking for and since the brunette is leaving for good in a couple of hours this is probably her last chance. Santana looks around her to make sue they are alone in the street, but the truth is she would dance with Brittany anyways.
"Oh, don't you dare look back!" Brittany starts to sing and Santana grabs her hand and make the blonde spin. "Just keep your eyes on me. I said you're holding back. She said shut up and dance with me!"
Brittany didn't think that Santana would agree to dance with her so right now is quite happy and with the alcohol running her veins, she is going to sing from the top of her lungs.
"We were victims of the night, a chemical, physical, kryptonite. Helpless to the bass and faded light." Brittany sings. "Oh, we were born to get together, born to get together. She took my heart, I don't know how it happened. We took the floor. Oh don't you dare look back just keep your eyes on me."
The blonde let go Santana's hand and start to dance on her own and Santana mimicked her movements. The Latina couldn't care less that they are dancing around 4 am in an empty street, she always liked spontaneity in her life and those two weeks with Brittany have been fantastic.
"Deep in her eyes, I think I see the future. I realize this is my last chance. She took my arm, I don't know how it happened. She said shut up and dance with me!" Brittany continues singing and making a fool of herself while dances. "This woman is my destiny, she said… Ohh ohh… shut up and dance with me!"
The taller woman ended the song and tried to raise up Santana like on dirty dancing, but she failed miserably and after putting Santana on the ground again, she did greet an imaginary audience and laughed.
After the whole dance Santana was exhausted, she walks next to the blonde and she couldn't help herself anymore and did what she wanted to do for a while, so she grabbed Brittany by her jacket's lapel and just kiss her. Brittany is confused, but she didn't care about anything and quickly kissed back Santana.
The taxi ride to the airport is silence, since the kiss they shared there was an unspoken silence between the two women. Neither of them didn't know what to do or say. They walked to the boarding area.
"What if I am the one?" Brittany whispered. The thought never crossed her mind until Santana kissed her. She never believed she have a real chance with the brunette.
"You can't be…." Santana caressed Brittany's cheek. "You're the first."
And without another word Santana walked away.
Shut up and dance – Walk the moon.
I don't own anything is just for fun.
I made some changes from the movie again.
