Chapter 11 - Boss Man
So, I just got called into Sue's office and to be honest, I am freaking out. I gave in my piece yesterday and she commented on it already so now I think I'm in trouble. What if she fires me?! What the hell am I gonna do?! Shit.
I made my way to Sue's office after downing the rest of my coffee, which by the way, was piping hot. And now my mouth feels like it's on fire.
I stood outside Sue's office and took a deep breath in and out before knocking.
"Come in!" She yelled from inside. I inhaled and exhaled before opening the door and walking inside, closing the door behind me and sitting down on the chair opposite Sue's desk, "Good morning, Blondie. You're looking awfully nervous today."
"Um.. Thanks, Sue. So, what did you wanna see me about?" I asked.
"Well, Blondie, I just wanted to talk to you about something and I think.. You're gonna like it." Said Sue and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay. Great, what's up?" I asked, sitting up straight and putting one leg over the other.
"Well, as of tomorrow, I am resigning. So, I need someone to take my job and since your writing's been so good lately, I thought you'd be the perfect option." She said and my eyeballs widened.
"You- you're, you're giving me your job?! What?! Oh my god! This is amazing! Oh my god, oh my god!" I yelled and Sue pursed her lips, signaling that she wanted me to shut up, "Right. Sorry. So, um, carry on."
"Yes. Um, I am promoting you to Editor and Chief of this newspaper." She said and I felt my heart pounding in my chest, "Which means, you'll be able to do everything that I do now. You will pick what goes in the newspaper and what's crap. You get to fire the idiots and promote the people you like. You shall take my position tomorrow and that's final. Are we understood?" She asked. I vigorously nodded my head.
"Yeah we are!" I yelled, really excitedly, "But, where are you going?"
"I am taking 2 years off to visit my goat in Mexico." She said and I frowned.
"Okay.. That's cool, Sue." I said and then smiled really big, "Thank you! Thank you SO much, Sue! You won't regret this!"
"I sure hope not, Blondie. Now, go pack your office so it's ready to be moved in here." She said.
"I get your office too?" I asked in shock.
"Yes, Blondie, it comes with the job." She said. I squealed and couldn't help but kiss her cheeks,
"Okay, you've just popped my personal bubble."
"Sorry! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I said before running out of her office to tell San.
I raced past all the other offices and jumped over a plant to get to Santana's office, squealing with joy as I ran. As soon as I got there, I knocked frantically on the door before opening it, not even waiting for her to say I could come in.
"Baby! You will never guess what just happened!" I said and then noticed she was on the phone.
"Yeah, hold on..." She said and put her hand over the receiver, "Hi, sweetie. Sit down, I'll be with you in a second." I nodded and sat down as she took her hand off the receiver and kept talking, "Yeah, I'm back. Sorry about that... Mhmm... Oh, my god, that'd be great... Yes! Yes, of course! When do I start?" Oh, my god... She just accepted another job, didn't she? And she sounded so excited. Well, it won't be so bad, I mean, she'll still be in New York, so it's totally cool if she's happy. I looked at her and all the color in her face went away, "Oh... Um, crap... No, no, I mean, it's a great opportunity but.. I'm gonna have to think about it... Yeah.. Yeah, I'll call you back within a week, thank you. Okay... Okay, bye." She said and hung up. She smiled and looked at me before coming over to me and kissing my nose and then my lips.
"Hey." I said. She smiled.
"Hey," she said softly, "So, what are you so excited about?"
"Well... I have some seriously exciting news." I said, "I just got promoted to Editor and Chief." She smiled and her eyeballs nearly bugged out of her head.
"Oh, my god! Britt, baby, that's great!" She said. I smiled and kissed her cheek, "Wow, sweetie, that's awesome, congratulations."
"Thanks, baby." I said as she peppered kisses all over my face, "So, who were you talking to?"
"Um, well, you've heard of William Shuester, right?" She asked.
"Of 'Shuester Industries'?" She nodded, "Yeah, why?" I asked.
"Well, he read a few of my articles in the paper and... He offered me a job." She said and I smiled.
"Well, baby, that's great! I mean, it sucks that we won't be working together anymore, but if this new job makes you happy then you should totally take it." I said and she smiled a pained smile.
"Yeah, well, it's an amazing job but... There's a problem." She said.
"Whatever it is, we can work through it. If this job is really amazeballs, then I say take it." I said, trying my best to be super supportive. She smiled that pained smile and my heart cracked seeing her like this. What's the problem?
"The job is in Paris." She said and that was it... My heart sunk. I knew she could see the heart break in my face, because she came up to me and kissed me softly.
"But I won't take it, if it means I can't see you. I mean, you just got this promotion and I'm really happy for you. And yeah, sure, the job in Paris is a great opportunity for me because I'll be Editor and Chief of 'Shuester Industries' not to mention I'll be able to publish peoples books, but... I love you and if I can't see you then, it's cool, I can totally stay here. Besides, I like it here." She said, holding my shoulders before kissing my lips repeatedly.
"Baby.." I said as she kept kissing me, "Baby, stop." I said, trying to get her to look at me, but she didn't stop. She ignored my completely and kept kissing my lips, deepening our kisses, "No, baby, stop. Look at me." And she stopped. She opened her dark brown eyes and locked them with mine, "You should take it." I said and she shook her head as tears pooled in her eyes.
"No, Britt, I can't leave you." She said.
"Baby, it's okay, we can try long distance. So many people do it and most of them turn out fine." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. A tear I didn't even know was there, "This is such an amazing opportunity for you and I want you to be able to experience it. We can still be together, baby. I mean, skype was invented for a reason. So were airplanes and phones."
"But... Paris is so far. What if the both of us are too busy to be able to see each other? I don't wanna lose you, Britt, I love you." She said as the tears fell and cascaded down her gorgeous face, breaking my heart a little more.
"And I love you. So, so much. But, being Editor and Chief of 'Shuester Industries' is a big deal, San. And you'd be really good at it." I said, wiping away all the sad tears running down her cheeks, "And we will see each other. I'll make time to fly up to Paris to see you and I'll skype you and call you everyday. Santana, I've never been this in love before and all I want is to see you doing something that makes you beam with happiness. If taking this job at 'Shuester Industries' is gonna put my favorite smile on your face then take it."
"God... You're the most amazing girlfriend.. Ever." She said with a sad smile.
"I love you, San. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and yeah, you moving to Paris is gonna be a huge adjustment and I'll probably spend a lot of nights not even sleeping because I'll miss you so much but... We'll make it work. And I'll send you love letters and you'll get them in the post like they did in the olden days." I said. She smiled and let out a breathy laugh before nodding, "Now pick up that phone, call that man back and take that job or I'll do it for you." She chuckled and nodded again before standing up and picking up her phone.
"Are you sure?" She asked, looking at me as she held the phone to her ear, her fingers dancing on the keys of the phone. I smiled and wiped my tears away.
"Go get 'em, baby." I said and she smiled before dialing the number.
I just encouraged my girlfriend to move to Paris... What is wrong with me?!
`°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°``°``°•.¸¸.•°
"And here's to Brittany, who is finally living by herself and who just got promoted to Editor and Chief of 'The Sylvester Paper'!" Said a rather drunk Sam as he held a shot of vodka in the air. Everybody cheered and downed their shots, I smiled and downed mine.
"And to Santana who got that amazing job in Paris with 'Shuester Industries'!" He yelled, pouring everyone another shot, except Quinn, of course. San smiled and squeezed my hand. Everyone cheered and downed their shots. I downed mine and saw San pour hers in the pot plant behind her.
Office parties were always fun... Especially when Sam decided to invite everyone and their uncle. And everyone and their uncle brought a shit load of booze.
"And to me and Quinn, because we finally set a date for the wedding! September 18th!" He slurred as he put his arm around Quinn who smiled and sipped her virgin margarita through her straw. Everyone cheered and downed yet another shot. I decided to stick with San and pour mine into the pot plant too. I was driving home tonight and I didn't wanna be over the limit.
"And to Sam who is incredibly shit faced right now and needs to sit down!" I yelled, taking two cokes out of the break room fridge. Everyone cheered again and San and Quinn laughed as Sam downed another shot.
"How you doin' baby? You okay?" I asked San as she sat down at one of the break room tables while everyone else made their way to Sam's office to look at something, probably pornographic, on Sam's laptop.
"Yeah, I guess. You?" She asked as I gave her a coke.
"A little sad... But yeah." I said, smiling sadly at her, "I'm also really happy for you. You're gonna rock that job like you rock my bed." She chuckled and nodded.
"Thanks, babe." She said.
"So, do you know when you leave?" I asked, putting my hands over hers and soothingly rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb.
"Yeah. Next week Tuesday." She answered, sipping her coke through the pink straw I'd put in it for her.
"Tuesday? That's in 5 days." I said. She nodded sadly.
"I know."
"It's not even a whole week." I said, my voice coated with complete and utter sadness.
"I know." She said softly, bringing my hands up to her lips and pressing a gentle kiss to them, "Which is why I wanted to ask you if you'd help me pack up my apartment? There's a lot of crap in there that I need to get rid of and I only have 4 days to do it." She said.
"You mean 5 days." I corrected her.
"No. Four. I wanna spend the last day making love to you." She said softly and I smiled as I leaned in to kiss her. As soon as our lips met, I felt a few tears fall from my eyes as a soft moan escaped my throat.
"In that case, of course I'll help you pack your stuff." I whispered against her lips as the soft pads of her thumbs brushed away the tears on my cheeks.
"Thank you." She whispered, ever so gently pressing her lips against mine again, "I love you, baby."
"I love you too." I said through a sob.
"Don't cry, baby. It's gonna be okay, I promise. You said so yourself." She said gently.
"I know. And it will be... I'm just gonna miss you." I said as more tears started streaming down my cheeks.
"I'm gonna miss you too, sweetheart." She said, "But this is just something that I have to do, you know. Like you said, it's an amazing opportunity for me and I'd be insanely stupid if I didn't go. Just know that... I love you so much more than I could ever love any job. And.. If you want me to come back once I'm in Paris.. I'll be here. In a heart beat."
"Really?" I asked and she nodded, "I love you so much, San."
"I love you too." She said and sealed our lips together in a gentle but passionate kiss.
My girlfriend is leaving for Paris... In 5 days... I didn't know my heart could hurt this much.
`°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°``°``°•.¸¸.•°
"Okay, this has all of your books in them. I just need to pack up the rest of your kitchen and then this whole place will be all packed up and ready to be shipped to Paris." I said as I put San's box of books down on the empty apartment floor. All that covered the apartment now were boxes and San's mattress.
"Thanks, baby." She said. I smiled and kissed her nose.
"I can't believe you're leaving tomorrow afternoon. It's already so soon." I said, cupping her face with my hands.
"Yeah... But let's not talk about that. I just wanna enjoy the rest of my time with you while I still have it." She said, putting down the beer she had in her hand and holding onto my waist. I pressed my forehead against hers and nudged her nose with mine. She chuckled and smiled before joining our lips. I ran my index finger down her cheek while we kissed and used my other hand to pull her closer to me by her lower back. She hummed as I walked the two of us slowly over to San's uncovered mattress that lay in between all the boxes. Her fingers danced their way up my sides to the front of my button-up shirt. She slowly started to undo the buttons on my shirt and slid it off of my shoulders, revealing my plain white tank top. She smiled against my lips as her soft hands gently cupped my breasts through my shirt. I chuckled against her lips as she massaged my breasts.
"Mmm, lay down." I ordered softly. San pulled away and let go of my breasts to lay down on the mattress. I took off my tank top and San smiled when she saw I wasn't wearing a bra, "Take your shirt off, sweetie."
"Okay." She said and lifted her shirt over her head. Taking her bra off with it. All I was wearing now was a pair of sweat pants and San had on a pair of jean shorts.
"Take the rest off. I'll be right back." I said and made my way to an open box in San's now empty bedroom. I quickly took off my sweats and threw them aside as I searched the box for San's strap-on. I knew it was in this box because I had packed San's bedroom... For a reason.
As soon as I found it, I quickly put the harness on and then attached the... Well, the... You know... The thing-ding-ding. It was red.. When San and I first used the strap-on, I giggled at the color 'cause it's San's favorite. It's typical that she'd buy a red dildo.
As soon as it was on and in place, I made my way back to San. When I got back to San, I saw that she had lit a bunch of candles and spread them all around the mattress. I smiled as I saw her bare back leaning over to light the last candle. I quietly moved up behind her and pressed a slow, open-mouthed kiss to her lower back. She slowly stood up straight and chuckled softly.
"You're so beautiful." I told her. She turned around and smiled lovingly at me.
"As are you." She said, gently running her fingertips down my arms and holding my hands, "What took you so long?"
"Well, I uh..." I started and cleared my throat before looking down at the fake thing-ding-ding that was attached to the harness that was secure on my hips. San followed my gaze and let out a soft gasp.
"Oh, Brittany.." She whispered. She looked at it for a few more seconds before looking back at me and locking our eyes, "You realize that this is probably the last time we'll be able to do this for a couple weeks."
"Yeah..." I said, getting all choked up, "I know. Just... Let me make love to you." She smiled and nodded before lowering herself onto the mattress and lying down as I lowered myself on top of her. I hovered over her and smiled before pressing my lips to hers ever so softly. I kissed her plump lips before I pulled away to press wet kisses all over her neck. She moaned softly and ran her fingers through my hair. I kissed my way to her pulse point and gently sucked as she let out a louder moan than the ones before. I sucked on her pulse point until I was sure I left a mark. I wanted her to have that there for the next couple weeks. As soon as her soft, caramel colored neck had an extremely noticeable hickey, I kissed my way to her collar bone and in between the valley of her breasts before I gently sucked on her left nipple while I rolled the right one between my thumb and index fingers. San was letting soft but sexy moans escape her gorgeous lips as I teased her nipples.
"Britt..." She moaned, "I'm so wet." I smiled and let go of her nipple with a wet pop. I gently kissed her lips as I ran the tip of the dildo through her wet folds. She gasped into my mouth and slightly arched her back, "Britt.. I need you, baby." I gently kissed her cheek before aligning the dildo with her entrance and looking her in the eyes as I slowly thrust into her. She moaned as she took the entire 8 inches, "Oh, Brittany.." She moaned as I slowly pulled back and then moved back in again, trying to get a good rhythm. I put both my hands next to her head and looked her in the eyes as I slowly and softly moved in and out of her, watching her face contort with pleasure. I kissed her chin, her cheeks and her now closed eyelids before brushing my lips across hers.
"Does that feel good, baby?" I asked softly, watching her mouth open as she arched her back, letting out a particularly loud moan.
"Uh! Yeah.." She moaned, "Go faster, Britt.." I smiled and kissed her jaw as I picked up the pace and started thrusting in and out of her faster, listening to her moans fill the apartment. I moved my hands from next to her head to underneath her back. I held her close as I moved my hips as fast as I could while I buried my head in the ditch of her neck, inhaling her gorgeous scent as I felt the tears pooling in my eyes as I realized this was the last time I'd be able to make love to Santana for at least a month. I felt her slowly bring her legs up and wrap them around my waist as her arms wrapped around my neck, her hands tangling in my hair. She was moaning loudly as I breathed heavily into her neck as I felt the pressure of my thrusts hit my throbbing clit. I knew I was close and San was close too.
"Cum with me, baby." I said softly as I felt her legs start to shake.
"Uh! Baby, I'm cumming!" She yelled in ecstasy and it sent me over the edge, shaking with her as the tears fell out of my eyes and hit her neck. We rode out our orgasms together as the tears kept falling from my eyes. I pulled San impossibly closer and let out a sob into her neck. Suddenly I felt tiny drops of water hit my shoulder and looked up to see my favorite brown eyes glistening with tears as a few ran down San's face. I let out another sob and soon I was full on crying. She held me close, the dildo still inside of her, and ran her fingers lovingly through my hair as I cried.
"Te amo, Brittany." She whispered before kissing my shoulder as more of her tears hit my bare skin and rolled down my back, "Te amo."
`°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°``°``°•.¸¸.•°
"Okay, I guess that's everything." Said San after we had made sure all of her stuff that she was taking with her to Paris was getting put in storage on the plane.
"Have you got your passport?" I asked.
"Yeah." She answered and kissed my nose.
"Okay. What time is your flight leaving?" I asked as she linked our fingers while we walked over to a couple seats to sit down while we waited for the invisible announcer lady to announce San's flight was boarding.
"20 minutes." She answered. I nodded as we sat down. I put our hands on my lap and played with San's fingers, "Thank you for last night, Britt. It was amazing and.. It really meant a lot to me."
"Yeah.. Me too." I said, making eye contact with her.
"Now, remember, as soon as you've finished that book, you send it to me and I'll publish it. Thirty thousand copies, first run. Promise?" She said and I smiled.
"I promise." I said, kissing her hand and letting my lips linger, "Quinn and the guys told me to tell you to have a safe flight and that they said they'll miss you... Especially Puck." San giggled and nodded.
"Well, tell them I'll miss them too." She said, "But tell Puck that there's only one person that I'll miss the most and it's definitely not him." I smiled lovingly at her and nodded.
"I will." I said before leaning in.
"Flight 326 to Paris is now boarding." Said the invisible announcer lady and I immediately got all choked up.
"That's me." Said San before pecking my lips and standing up. Putting her purse over her shoulder as I stood up.
"I don't wanna cry again." I said as the tears already began to fall. San frowned sadly cupped my face with her hands.
"Baby... I'm gonna miss you." She said and started crying as well. I bit my lip to stop from sobbing before pulling her into my arms and squeezing her tight, tangling my fingers in her hair. I felt her hot breath on my neck as she balled my shirt into her fists.
"I'm gonna miss you too." I said and kissed her head, "Okay... You should go now or I'll never be able to let go of you." I she chuckled and pulled out of our hug.
"Okay... I love you, baby." She said and gave me a soft, lingering kiss.
"I love you too." I said as we pulled away.
"I'll see you soon, okay?" She said softly. I smiled and nodded, pecking her lips once more before she walked away to board her plane. I stood in place watching her walk away until she was out of sight. I sighed and wiped away the tears. I picked up my purse and started walking back to the entrance of the airport. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket as I got into my car, new tears running down my face.
I closed the door and took out my phone.
-Te amo, baby. Xxx miss you already :) - it said and I smiled before replying.
-Miss you too, beautiful. Have a safe flight and call me when you land. I love you so much xxx-
As soon as my text was sent, I put on my seat belt and pulled out of my parking spot and back onto the road as I drove back to my apartment.
I can't believe my heart feels so sore. I've definitely never felt like this before. I like being so in love with San but at the same time, I wish my heart didn't have to hurt so bad every time I wasn't with her... So sad... Like a sad little panda.
