GundamBrittana: I love meeting the parents chapters so I'm excited to write it :) Skylar is definitely hoping Brittany decides to go to L.A and is all too happy to plant the idea in her sister's head.
Guest: Brittany has a lot to think about before she makes a decision on L.A. but she is definitely thinking about it. I will say that her plan for Santana doesn't go exactly how she imagined it ;)
Guest: Here's the update! Sorry it took so long!
Chapter 11: Can't Help Falling in Love
Brittany was brought out of her sleep by kisses being peppered all over her face. She smiled before slowly opening her eyes. She was met with the sight of Santana smiling down at her.
"Mmm, good morning." Brittany sleepily said.
"Happy one month anniversary." Santana whispered.
Brittany's smile grew wider at hearing those words. She brought her hands up to the sides of Santana's face and pulled her down for a kiss. Within seconds the kiss heated up. It didn't take long for her to get turned on when she felt Santana's hands slip under her shirt but before they could go any further, there was a knock at the door.
"Britt, San, breakfast is ready!" Skylar shouted through the door.
Santana pulled away from Brittany and let out a frustrated sigh.
"Babe, can I get your permission to kill your sister?"
Brittany giggled at the scowl on her girlfriend's face. After her talk with Quinn a couple of days ago, Brittany knew her girlfriend was extremely sexually frustrated, which she understood because so was she, and that all the interruptions they've had to deal with over the past few weeks were getting to her. She was tempted to tell Santana about what she had planned for Friday but she really wanted it to be a surprise so she decided to not let things get too heated between them until she could proceed with her plan.
With that in mind, she gave Santana one more kiss before jumping out of bed. She turned back to the bed only to see Santana staring at her with a frown.
"What?" Brittany asked.
"Nothing," Santana answered as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower… a very cold shower." Santana muttered the last part but Brittany managed to hear.
Brittany once again giggled before heading out of the room. She found Sam and Skylar in the kitchen, eating breakfast.
"Hey, where's Santana?" Sam asked his sister.
"Taking a cold shower."
"Why the hell is she taking a cold shower? In fact, why would anyone choose to take a cold shower?" Skylar ranted.
"Well, we were interrupted this morning." Brittany shot her sister a playful glare.
"Oh…Oh! Britt, gross! I didn't need to know that!" Skylar complained once she realized exactly what she had interrupted.
"Yeah Brittany, I agree with Skylar. I do not need to hear about my sister's sex life." Sam said.
"More like lack of." Brittany muttered.
"Well I'm sure that will change soon enough." Skylar threw Brittany a knowing glance.
"Yeah, I really hope so."
"So are you two doing anything special for your one month?" Quinn asked the pair.
"Well, I wanted to do something but this one," Santana pointed to Brittany, "said she had something special planned already but for this weekend and she won't tell me when exactly it will be or what it is."
"Why don't you still do something today?" Puck questioned.
"Britt won't let me. She doesn't want me to show her up."
"That is not true!" Brittany exclaimed, "It's just Santana is always the one to take me out and she always ends up paying too. I just want to do something special for her." She shrugged.
"Aww, babe. I'm sure I'm going to love whatever you have planned." Santana kissed Brittany.
"Oh I know you will." Skylar whispered but Santana managed to hear.
"Wait, do you know what she's planning?" Santana shot Skylar a curious look.
"Of course, I'm her sister, she tells me everything. Plus, it was kind of my idea."
"Not completely." Brittany argued. "She just came up with the general idea."
"Well now I'm even more intrigued. I can't wait to find out what it is." Santana smiled and leaned in to kiss Brittany.
When their kiss started to heat up, Quinn thought it was the perfect time to intervene.
"Alright, enough of that."
"Quinn! Why'd you have them stop! It was just getting hot!" Puck complained.
"Shut up Puckerman!" Brittany snapped.
Everyone stopped their conversations to stare at Brittany. They had never seen her act like that. That was more something that they expected from Santana so needless to say they were surprised.
Brittany looked down, embarrassed that she had snapped at Puck. It seemed Santana wasn't the only one who was letting their sexual frustration get the best of her. She mumbled an apology that was quickly accepted by Puck. Once Brittany was sure that everyone was no longer staring at her, she turned to look at Santana.
"What?" Brittany asked once she saw the grin on her girlfriend's face.
Santana just shrugged. Brittany looked at her suspiciously but after a minute, she also shrugged and turned to talk to Rachel. Before she could say one word, she felt hot breath next to her ear.
"That was just incredibly hot."
Brittany didn't get a chance to respond before Santana was out of her seat and heading into the kitchen. She waited a minute, hoping she could get her heart rate back to normal but when that didn't work, she decided to follow after Santana in hopes of having a hot make out session. It definitely wouldn't help her heart rate but at that moment she didn't care. She was halfway to the kitchen when Quinn jumped out of her seat and stopped her.
"No, no, no, no! I know that look; I've seen it on Santana. That's her 'I really want to make out with my girlfriend' face. Since you two aren't celebrating your anniversary today, we are all going out and I don't want to see you two sucking face all night. Is that understood?" Quinn asked trying to keep a straight face but her resolve started to waver once she saw the pout on Brittany's face. "Do not look at me like that Brittany."
Brittany ignored Quinn and kept the pout on her face. She tried her hardest to keep the pout on her face and not to smile when she noticed Quinn trying her hardest not to break. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Quinn let out a defeated sigh.
"Fine, go ahead and make out with your girlfriend but we are still going out tonight. No wonder Santana is so whipped, that pout is a powerful weapon."
"I am not whipped but I do agree about it being a powerful weapon."
Quinn turned to see Santana leaning against the wall near the kitchen.
"How long were you standing there?" Quinn asked.
"Long enough to know that you stopped my girlfriend from coming in here and making out with me." Santana frowned.
"Aww honey, don't frown. I was totally going to go make out with you right now. No way Quinn was going to stop me." Brittany reinforced her point by skipping over to Santana and pushing her against the wall to give her a hard kiss that left Santana breathless.
She was brought out of her daze by the sound of Puck whistling. Santana turned to glare at him.
"Why don't take my girl's advice and shut it Puckerman."
Before he could come up with a comeback, Rachel decided to speak up.
"So will we be going out tonight?"
"Yes and I know the perfect place." Quinn smirked.
'Oh this can not be good.' Santana thought.
"A karaoke bar!? Really Quinn? Weren't you the one that told me to relax and not work so hard?" Santana sighed.
"This isn't working!" Quinn defended.
"Well seeing as my job is to sing, it technically is. Look, I'll stay but I'm not singing."
"Brittany, will you talk some sense into your girlfriend?" Quinn pleaded.
"Hey, if she doesn't want to sing, then I won't make her…"
"Thank you babe." Santana smiled and leaned in for a kiss.
"Even though I would love to hear you sing." Brittany murmured against Santana's lips.
Santana frowned as she watched Brittany walked towards the table where everyone had settled at. As much as she hated to admit it, she was whipped and she knew that if Brittany wanted to hear her sing, it was just a matter of time before she got up on that stage and granted her wish.
They had been at the karaoke bar for an hour already and Santana had yet to work up the nerve to get on that stage and sing. She was extremely nervous but it had nothing to do with singing in front of a crowd. She had no problem with that, what she was nervous about, was having to sing in front of Brittany. She had yet to sing in front of her and she knew that Brittany had technically already heard her sing but a video and singing live were two totally different things.
"Are you okay Santana, you look kind of nervous." Rachel asked when Brittany and Sam got up to get them some more drinks.
"I'm fine Berry, just nervous to sing."
"Yes! So you are planning to sing!"
"Calm down Fabray. I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for Britt."
Santana turned to glare at Puck when he made a whipping sound. She briefly considered killing him that way she would get arrested and she wouldn't have to sing but she quickly got that thought out of her head. A few seconds later, Brittany and Sam returned with everyone's drinks.
"Here you guys go, a coke for my sis and a coke for my girl." Brittany put the drinks down in front of them before taking a sip of her beer.
"Thanks babe." Santana smiled at her.
"Hey Santana, can I ask you a question?" Sam asked eyeing her drink.
"Sure Trouty Mouth, what's up?"
"Why don't you ever drink?"
Rachel, Quinn, and Puck almost spit out their drinks trying hard not to laugh. Sam, Skylar, and Brittany eyed them curiously while Santana glared at her friends.
"You know, I was kind of wondering the same thing." Brittany commented.
"I do drink." Santana tried to defend herself, albeit poorly.
"You do but never more than like one glass of whatever alcohol you decide to drink that night. You always volunteer to be the designated driver and although we've known each other for almost two months, I have never seen you drunk." Sam explained.
"I-uhm-it's just that-" Santana tried to stutter out an explanation that wouldn't be embarrassing. When that failed, Puck decided to explain.
"Santana is a crier."
"Puckerman!"
"What? You are! See Santana is a weepy emotional drunk. When she gets drunk, any little thing can set her off and suddenly she's a crying mess. I remember one time Quinn asked me to kill a spider that was in her room and Santana just happened to walk in when it happened. She started bawling and saying how the poor spider probably had a family and how it died too young. Then she made us have an impromptu funeral for it. She even used an empty matchbox as a coffin, it was hilarious."
Santana just sat with her arms crossed and a disgruntled look on her face as everyone laughed at Puck's story.
"That is so cute, I kind of want to get you drunk just to see you in action. Please, can I get you some alcohol?" Brittany pouted.
Santana was so close to agreeing. She couldn't believe she was so whipped that she almost agreed to let her girlfriend get her drunk but she knew she needed to be sober if she was going to go up there and sing for Brittany. She didn't want to make a fool of herself.
"Please put that pout away. I promise you'll eventually see me drunk (yes she realized how weird that sounded) but I want to be sober when I go up there and sing."
Brittany beamed with happiness and it was at that moment that Santana vowed to do everything in her power to make Brittany that happy everyday as long as she'll let her.
"You're really going to sing?"
Santana nodded.
"Yay! What song are you going to sing?"
"Guess you'll just have to wait and see."
Truth be told, Santana had no idea what song to sing. She had been trying to wrack her brain for the perfect song but she just couldn't think of one. Deciding she needed a break, she told Brittany she was going to the restroom and quickly got up. As she walked away, she caught a glimpse of Skylar following after her. She thought that Skylar would follow her into the restroom but when she didn't, she did her business, washed her hands, and left the restroom only to find Skylar waiting for her right outside the door.
"May I help you?" Santana asked her.
"I just want to know what song you're planning on singing."
"Why can't you just wait and see."
Skylar stared at her for a few seconds before giving her a knowing smirk.
"You have no idea what to sing, do you?"
Santana was about to go on the defense but ended up just slumping her shoulders in defeat.
"No idea. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Well I think now would be a perfect moment to… express your feelings. I'm sure it won't be hard to find a song. I heard that song you were singing in the shower this morning while Brittany was having breakfast."
Santana scoffed once she realized what Skylar was suggesting.
"You think I should tell or I guess it's sing to Brittany that I love her in front of all these people?" She asked incredulously.
"Why not? You love her, it doesn't matter who else hears it all that matters is that she does."
Skylar left her to ponder those words. She looked over to where her friends were seated, her eyes immediately landing on her blonde haired girlfriend. She couldn't help the smile that graced her face when she saw Brittany throw her head back and laugh at whatever Sam had said. In that moment, she made up her mind. she knew exactly what song she was going to sing.
Brittany looked around after she noticed that Santana had yet to return from the restroom. Skylar had returned a few minutes ago so she didn't understand what was taking her girlfriend so long. She looked towards the stage and paused once she caught sight of Santana talking to the manager. She saw Santana say something and the manager nod in understanding before he headed into a room behind the stage. A few seconds later he returned with a ukulele that he handed to Santana. She watched as Santana sat on the stool in the middle of the stage and the manager walk up to the microphone.
"Hello, can I get everyone's attention." The man spoke into the microphone.
After everyone quieted down, he continued.
"Thanks to everyone who has participated in karaoke tonight. We have a special guest tonight. Her name is Santana Lopez and if you haven't heard of her I can guarantee you that you will. Seriously, look her up on YouTube. Anyway, let's give her a warm welcome."
Santana adjusted the microphone and laughed.
"Thank you Clark for that introduction and promotion, which I did not ask him to do by the way. So like he said, my name is Santana Lopez. I know this is supposed to be karaoke but I thought that I would sing a short song I've been working on the past couple of days and I just finished it this morning actually. I hope you like it."
Brittany noticed how Santana looked directly at her when she said that. A few seconds later, Santana started singing.
Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things were meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
'cus I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things were meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
'cus I can't help falling in love with you
'cus I can't help falling in love with you
but I can't help falling in love with you
There was a pause before everyone broke out into applause. Santana smiled widely before saying a quick thank you and heading off the stage. She shook Clark's hand and returned the instrument to him before turning around to head to the table but before she could even take a step, she was stopped by various people asking for pictures and autographs. After 15 minutes, she finally managed to break away from the crowd and head to the table. She frowned when she noticed Brittany missing from the group.
"Where's Brittany?" Santana asked the group. She could have sworn Brittany was still sitting there when she had finished her song.
"She said she was feeling a little under the weather so she took a cab home." Rachel answered.
Santana's frown deepened when she heard that. She turned to look at the entrance of the bar and missed the sly smiles the group sent each other. They quickly wiped the smiles off their faces when Santana turned back to them.
"Okay, I'm just going to check on her. Is it okay if I take the car?" She directed her question to Quinn, Puck, and Rachel.
"Don't sweat it, Sam will give us a ride." Puck told her.
After receiving reassurance from Sam that he'd get their friends home safely, she quickly left the bar.
"I kind of feel bad letting her freak out like that." Sam said.
"I'm sure what Brittany has planned will more than make up for it." Skylar responded while the rest of the group nodded in agreement.
AN: Song used is Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley but I did have the twenty one pilots cover when I pictured Santana singing it.
