Chapter 10

Brittany's POV

This time it's my turn to wake up first. Glancing over at the Latina I can now call my GIRLFRIEND I just can't begin to explain how happy I feel. I haven't felt this way in a long time – it's refreshing, but it's also kinda scary. I haven't had to open up to anyone since Liv and I can't stop the paranoia that comes along with my past. The way I treated girls was terrible, I knew that, but it didn't stop that numb feeling whenever we were having sex. Sex. That's all it was to me, the physical act whereby I got at least 10 minutes of pleasure – depending on how good they were at head – and then I'd throw them their clothes and tell them I don't like sleepovers.

But no, this girl, this girl has captured my heart and she makes me feel more alive than ever. There's no numb-ness when I'm with her, I feel like I can be myself. My real self, not the player that everyone at high school thinks I am. Okay, so I am myself a little bit – I mean I can't help that I have all this swagger, but no – my high school doesn't know the sensitive me, the me who can't seem to stop staring at the Latina sleeping, memorizing ever line and every inch of this girls body in case I ever lost her.

As I feel Santana start to come round I tighten my arms around her body and nuzzle my head into the crook of her neck, letting my lips graze over her collarbone ever so slightly. Her neck is her weak spot, even after one date I know this. It feels like I've known her for a year, let alone a couple of weeks – but the thought of her being mine, once and for all, well let's just say I can't help but let a huge grin take over my face.

"Hey you" she smiles at me sleepily.

"Hey my girlfriend, how'd you sleep?"

"Really well, knowing that you had your arms around me"

She is still half asleep, I can tell because there's no way she'd of admitted that to me with all her senses intact. She's a very heavily guarded person, but I thoroughly believe I'm starting to chip away at her defences. Slowly but surely she's starting to let her guard down with me, she doesn't know it yet but my guard came down for her the minute she kissed me earlier this morning in an attempt to wake me. The softness of the kiss, mixed with her cute sleepy smile just made my heart melt and I knew then that I was hers forever.

30 minutes later

"So we're all packed up now, apart from that blanket since I figured you'd probably get sleepy in the car and if you wanted you could snuggle up to that since I'll be driving"

Since when did I get so frickin' cute?

After that horrendous attempt at getting Santana in the car with the blanket and then trying to close the door we're finally ready to drive home. It's only like a 2 hour drive but I didn't really want to rush it, this weekend was just me and S and I was really enjoying it. I don't see the point in rushing home, back to the reality, back to civilisation that was high school.

Unbeknown to Santana I'd made a playlist up for the journey. I hadn't planned to ask her to be my girlfriend last night, so there was nothing lovey dovey or anything but I knew her favourite artists so I compiled a playlist on my iPod for this specific occasion.

Hitting play on the first song I saw her face light up.

"You remembered? Oh my god" she leans over and places a slight kiss on my cheek showing how happy she is that I remembered what her favourite musician was.

Of course I did. I'm the best girlfriend in the world.

Santana's POV

"TO THE LEFT TO THE LEFT EVERYTHING YOU OWN IN THE BOX TO THE LEFT IN MA CLOSET THAT MA STUFF YEA IF I BOUGHT IT BABY PLEASE DON'T TOUCH, DON'T TOUCH"

This girl is something else. First of all she planned this amazing date out for me, then she asked me to be her girlfriend and now she's got a playlist on her iPod with all my favourite music on it. This is craycray. Nobody's ever done anything like this for me before. It's amazing.

"Baby please, your voice. It's making my ears bleed" I joke at her nudging her in the side slightly.

"Oh really? I would come back with some witty comment about being better then you but since you've decided to keep this voice of yours a secret since we left, that kind of falters my plan."

It's true. I hadn't sung since we got in the car. I don't know why, I mean, I love to sing – it's always been a passion of mine along with basketball and more recently, Brittany, but I just couldn't stop watching my new girlfriend belt out MY favourite tunes. It was captivating and I'd all but forgotten to sing along too.

"okay, okay, I'll let you in on a little secret.. So go ahead and get gone call up that chick, and see if she's home Oops I bet you thought, that I didn't know what did you think I was putting you out for?"

"holy shit. S you have an amazing voice. What the fuck, why aren't you famous or some shit?"

Well I probably would be if we'd of stayed in LA... No, don't even think like that, if I'd of stayed in LA I'd of never met Britt and then this whole weekend would never have happened. I'd of most likely never felt this happy, ever.

"Haha shhh I'm trying to get my jam on baby. Because you was untrue rolling her around in the car that I bought you baby, drop them keys hurry up, before your taxi leaves"

I can see her staring at me instead of the road and although I liked the attention she was giving me this was an accident waiting to happen. Not dissimilar to when she picked me up for our date in the first place.

"Baby you're not watching the road. Please, I thought we'd already agreed you should stop staring and try not to get me killed?"

"Oh.. uh.. Sorry, aha damnit I hate that you always catch me. And here I was thinking I was all inconspicuous and shit.."

There goes that damned wink again. She thinks she's so fly. I can't help but laugh. The wink's cute, but that's what's so funny. She thinks she's being all sexy but in reality, that wink just shows me her adorable side. I can't wait till she realises that.

1 hour and 30 minutes later – outside the Lopez residence

Brittany's POV

"You know my offer still stands.." I tell her. I am feeling glum because this is the part I hadn't really thought about, or at least I'd tried not to. Saying goodbye was always the worst part of any day or night spent with the Latina and I can't hide the fact I'm upset that she forgot about our plans to watch DVD's and hang out at my place for the rest of the day.

"What and you think just because you're dropping me off at my house means I'm not going to take you up on that offer of DVD's and pizza at your place? Hahaha oh B, you know me so little sometimes. I was just gonna shower and change my clothes and then head over to yours. I've seen your DVD collection – I'd be a silly, silly woman to turn down all those free movies"

Did she just use my wink against me? Again. Oh hell to the no.

"You serious? Oh .. okay, cool" a smile taking over my face yet again. I can't seem to stop smiling with Santana. It's contagious.

"I will see you later then, come over about 7 - I'll order the pizza's to get there at half past and I'll have you know if you're using me for my DVD collection then you can suck my –"

"SANTANA!" I hear her mother shout, cutting me off.

"Shit I'd better go haha, you're lucky she didn't hear what you were about to say Brittany Susan Pierce. Where's my goodbye kiss huh?" as she began to lean in through the passenger window I couldn't help but feel the stares coming from her mother's direction piercing my skin.

"Babe, your mum's like staring. Is she cool with the whole girl on girl thing?"

I'm not one to get freaked out by parents, but let's just say I haven't exactly had a great track run so it was definitely better to be safe then sorry.

"you mean is she okay that one day you're probably going to be ripping my clothes off with your teeth whilst making me writhe around in a bed of some kind, maybe even a car or a table top, with your fingers inside of me, or if I'm lucky perhaps even a tongue?"

Shocked, I don't exactly know how to answer that so I just sat still, my eyes wide and my mouth slightly open.

"Hahaha you should see your face, oh Britt, she's fine with it – I'll explain tonight that you're my girlfriend now and she'll just have to accept it. She knows I've had girlfriends before, it's no big. Now kiss me and stop imagining what I just said in your head you horn dog"

I cave in and give her a slow but meaningful kiss on her lips, nobody deepened it, although with images like the ones she just gave me running through my head to say it was hard to pull her back into the car and have my wicked way with her, well that would be the understatement of the year.

Nevertheless I waved goodbye to her and her mother as I drove off in the direction of home, to prepare for our evening of snuggling followed by food followed by more snuggling and a few movies thrown into the mix. This day just couldn't get more perfect.

That was until I pulled into my driveway and saw a fairly recognisable figure sat on my steps with her phone out.

"Olivia?"

Oh shit.
