Santana's POV

I can't believe this. I have never in my whole life been this embarrassed. Why would they just open the door like that? This is ridiculous.

"So, are we going to talk about what we just saw?" Kurt said

I looked at him with big eyes and ignored his stupid question. I took my coffee cup and sat on the couch, next to Brittany. Kurt stood right in front of me with the biggest, most annoying smile on his face.

"I'm happy you're having fun, sorry you couldn't finish" he said, laughing, probably visualizing what I looked like when he opened the door to my room.

"Look here, ladypants. What me and Brittany did in there has nothing to do with you, okay?"

He just walked away and ignored my answer. I leaned my head on Brittany's shoulder and closed my eyes. This was the only way I could relax.

"Are you tired?" Brittany asked

"Yes, but not sleepy. I'm just a little exhausted" I answered with a yawn.

"That sounds like you're pretty tired babe"

I just smiled and gave in, I was tired but I didn't want to sleep yet, I wouldn't want to miss a single second with Brittany. I'll sleep when she does.

"Santana?"

"Yes?" I said and removed my head from her shoulder, it just made me sleepier.

"Are you happy?"

"I've never been happier" I said and looked at her with a serious face "Why are you asking?"

"I just feel like you've been unhappy ever since we met. You're not yourself" She said and gave a concerned smile.

"What do you mean?"

I didn't remove my eyes from her, I kept staring at Brittany as she tried to figure out how to explain this to me.

"I feel like i'm disappointing you" she said and looked at me with no face expression at all. I couldn't tell if she was sad or just emotionless during this moment.

"What? Brit, don't think like that. I'm always happy when I'm with you and nothing you do could ever disappoint me. I love you too much to even think like that"

Brittany threw herself into my arms and started weeping like a child.

"Don't cry baby, it's okay" I whispered into her ear and gave her a tighter hug.

I heard the apartment door closing, Kurt had left, for once he understands when he should leave and not bother me.

"So you're really happy?" she said and whiped her tears away with one of the napkins that was lying on the table.

"Like I said before, happier then ever"

Brittany smiled vaguely and looked at me with tearful eyes, the fact that they were watery made them look even more blue then they did earlier. I can't stop looking at them and I won't either because I know she doesn't mind.
I placed my hands on her cheeks so she would look into my eyes.

"Listen to me Brittany, to every single word I'm about to say because I mean all of this"

Brittany looked right into my eyes and her blushed cheeks felt warmer than before.

"You're really special to me, I've told you a million times before and I'm telling you now. Every single day since I saw you for the first time, you've been on my mind. It started of as a harmless crush and it led to this, me loving you more than anything else in this boring and rotten world, you make my life worth living" I said and took her hand, I held it and placed it right over my chest, where she could feel my heartbeat. "If it wasn't for you, I'd be gone a long time ago. You saved me so many times, you talked to me when no one else would and you listened to me when I just needed someone to listen. All those things are what made sure that you actually do love me, that I wasn't just anyone to you"

"You're not just anyone..." Brittany said with a low voice, so low that if I wasn't 2 inches away from her face, I wouldn't hear what she said.

"I know, I know that" I said and pressed her hand against my chest. "Do you feel that?"

"Yes" she said and smiled at me, then took my hand and placed it on her chest as well "Do you feel that?" she said

"I do" I answered and smiled right back at her. "This is why I trust you. I know that everytime my heart is beating this fast, your heart is too" I waited for her to say something and when I noticed that she wouldn't I continued "So don't you ever, ever again feel like you're disappointing me or that you're not enough for me, just remember that without you I'm nothing"

Today was Brittany's first day at work and I think I was even more excited than she was.

"You look really cute in this outfit" I said to her as I was changing into my job clothes.

"You too" she said and kissed me on the back of my head as she helped me tie my apron on.

We went out to the tills and I showed her how they worked, then the coffee machines and everything else she needed to know. She learned everything really fast and could start working on her own without me by her side just after one hour of supervising. I have to admit, I could get used to this. Having Brittany around at work made the hours go faster.

"You can go finish clearing the tables and mop the floor, I'll clean up in here and we can take a break for 30 minutes while the other employees take our shift" I said to Brittany after we had worked for almost three hours.

The kitchen is so messy, I honestly don't even want to touch wet food because it's disgusting, but if I don't pick this crap up someone will tell the boss and he'll go all Mr. Perfect on my ass.

Finally, after throwing the trash, garbage bags and filling the dish washer, I was ready for my break.

"Are you done, Brit?" I said and walked out and stood behind the tills, leaning on the counter.

"Be right there" she said and came walking towards me with a mop in her hands

"Great job" I said and gave her silent applauds "You're doing really well"

"You think?" she asked with, you could tell that she was happy by the way she said it.

"Of course" I said and we went for our break.

We had our lunch, little talks and it was already time to get back again. We were four people working today, three serving and one cashier.

"What the hell is she doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" I said, shocked over the fact that she came back.

"I work here, remember?"

Dani had her job clothes on and everything, as if she never quit.

"You don't work here. You quit when Brittany came looking for a job, she got your spot so you have nothing to do here"

Dani looked at me like I was crazy.

"Are you dreaming? That never happened" she said and laughed right at my face.

"Get out, Dani" I said and pointed to the door "We're working, we don't have time for bullshit"

She just looked confused at this point. She looked around and when she spotted Brittany she went straight up to her and gave her a light push.

"You! You ruined everything"

I go running up to them and stand in front of Brittany, protecting her from whatever Dani was trying to do.

"Don't touch her" I said, looking at her with the most honest eyes and my most serious face.

"I thought I told you to get the fuck out of here, blondie" she screamed again, totally ignoring what I said and the fact that I was standing right in front of Brittany.

"What have I ever done to you?" Brittany asks, pushing herself in front of me so she could look at Dani when she spoke to her. "You don't even know me"

Dani looked furious right now.

"I know enough about you to know. First, you steal my girlfriend and now you think you can get my job?" she said to Brittany with a grin on her face.

"I didnt stea...-"

"Just stop talking" she said and gave Brittany a hard slap right on the face.

By now, every single person inside the diner was watching this little fight.

"Are you out of your mind?" I yelled and pushed Dani away. "Oh my god, Brittany, are you okay?" I said and tried to spot something on her cheek, I wanted to see if Dani hurt her.

"I'm okay" she said. I wasn't surprised Brittany didn't hit Dani back, she was a peaceful person who loved anything but violence.

"Get out, get out now" I said and pulled Dani out by her arm.

I didn't give a rats ass about anyone who was watching us. If you hurt my girlfriend, I won't let you get away with it.

"God is giving me the power not to slap the living shit out of your face right now, just so you know. If you ever touch her again, or even speak to her, I will end you. Got it?" I said and looked into her eyes with nothing else but hate.

"You're gonna regret this" she said and tried her best not to cry, I found it hilarious.

"You know Dani, I did like you. You were a cool person. But this, seeing you act like this made me change my mind about you. I never hated you before" I looked back and got relieved when I saw that no one was looking anymore, just Brittany, she was on her way to us but I gestured her with my hands, letting her know that she should stay inside.

"Can you tell me why I wasn't enough for you?" Dani asked

"You're not her" I answered, simple and honest.

When our full shift ended and we got home I went straight to the freezer to take out a bag of frozen berries, I placed them on Brittany's cheek so the red would go away.
How hard did she get slapped? I've never seen anything like this, not since my abuela slapped me for eating all the m&m's in the house when I was 10.

"Thank you" Brittany said as I kept holding it for her.

A knock on the door broke the silecne in the kitchen.

"Hold this, I'll go open" I said and walked towards the door.

When I opened up there was no one there, all I could see was a letter on the floor. I picked it up and started reading.
