Chapter 11 - Fearless (Taylor Swift) - Part 2

"I'm really glad you said yes." Brittany spoke softly over the hum of the music in her truck.

Santana looked over at her and smiled. "We'll see about that when the nights through and if I made the right decision."

"Always so feisty."

"You know it, are we almost there yet?"

Brittany laughed. "What are you five?" Shaking her head the Latina grinned from ear to ear as she held up three fingers. "You would say three wouldn't you?" Santana nodded again with a slight chuckle. "We're almost there but since you're only three I guess I'll have to hold your hand, make sure you don't run away."

"Smooth Britts, real smooth." The blonde looked over and winked as she parked her truck.

"Hold on." She said as Santana reached for the door handle. Before she knew it Brittany was opened the door for her. "In case I haven't said it tonight you look beautiful, that dress is amazing." She extended her hand which Santana gladly accepted.

"Thanks Britt you look beautiful too, and I mean really beautiful." Their eyes locked as the sun was setting behind them, its the perfect moment and Santana only wished she had brought her camera with her.

As if on cue they saw a light flash breaking them out of their staring war. Mercedes smiled as she put her camera down. "You two are so cute, about time you finally showed up."

"Hey girl." Santana smiled.

Brittany shook her head. "Back off my woman Jones."

They all broke out laughing. "I just came over to say hi, meet up with you later?" Brittany and Santana both nodded.

"So what do you want to do first?" Santana looked around and smiled before pointing over at a rollercoaster. "You really are fearless aren't you?"

Five rides and an hour later Santana's eyes lit up when she saw the cutest teddy bear ever. "It needs a home and I wants that home to be mine." She grabbed Brittany's hand and pulled her through the maze of people towards the game. "So I just put my money on the month I think it will land on?" Brittany nodded, smiling as Santana put money on both November and February, their birthday months.

Someone on the other side of the table threw the ball into the spinning wheel as Santana and Brittany looked on nervously. "October." Santana frowned but tried again, no luck.

"This game sucks." She huffed as she turned around and faced Brittany. "Come on, let's go win you a stuffed duck at the water guns, I'm at least good at that."

"You would be good with a gun." Brittany laughed as she followed Santana over to the other game.

It was then that Brittany nearly stopped dead in her tracks and stiffened. Santana looked over and noticed Brittany's reaction and before she could ask what was wrong a group of girls and few guys walked over to them. "If it isn't the North Carolina sleeze and the California bitch."

"Oh no you didn't!" Santana was about to take out her hoops and hand them to Brittany when she felt the girls hand on her wrist.

"What do you want?"

The tallest brunette girl shrugged. "Nothing, just wanted to say hello and that we can't wait to face you guys this year, it should be quite a good time. New girl, should be careful who you hang out with, the same people that you call friends were probably talking the most crap about you before you showed up. They'll stab you in the back with the blink of an eye."

Santana narrowed her eyes and Brittany was pretty sure that had her hand not still been on Santana's wrist there'd be some form of blood shed. "Yeah we'll see about that, if you ever want you face rearranged just pay me a visit, believe me it could use the work, is that a nose or a beak?"

Smirking Santana watched as the girl gingerly raised her hand to touch her nose and was quickly reassured by her friends that there was nothing wrong with it. "Later." Santana waved as they started to walk away. "You alright Brits?"

Brittany nodded. "Mhmm, you are a firecracker aren't you?"

"Mhmm, that's right girl. Come on lets go win you that duck." The smile that suddenly appeared on Brittany's face made Santana's heart flutter as she took the girls hand and intertwined their fingers.

Two hours later Brittany and Santana walked hand in hand towards 'The Polar Bear Express'. Brittany was hugging a stuffed duck to her chest that Santana had won her and she insisted that she brought it on the ride with them because she didn't want some little kid to steal it. "You just want to go on the ride because you want me on your lap," Santana said as she got in next to Brittany. The blonde just grinned and buckled them in.

Sure enough by the end of the ride after being spun forward and back Santana was practically on Brittany's lap. Both girls were killing themselves laughing as the ride stopped, both a little dizzy. Once Santana got out she put her hand out to Brittany who gladly took it, the duck still in her hand.

"Tell you what, I gotta go grab something, meet you at the ferris wheel? Mercedes and Tina just texted and said they're over that way."

Santana raised her eyebrows but recognized the 'don't question me' look on her face. "Okay, I'll meet you over there."

"I won't be long."

As Santana made her way over to the large ferris wheel that was light up with sparkling white lights she couldn't help but smile. The night couldn't be much better than it was, despite the little run in they had had earlier on. Looking up she saw Tina waving at her and she couldn't help but smile. Maybe life here won't be so bad after all. She chuckled slightly to herself, never in a million years expecting that she'd actually like small town North Carolina.

After ten minutes of standing around talking, Santana jumped when she felt arms wrap around her waist. "Boo!" The sweet scent of vanilla and strawberries filled the air and she smiled.

"Britt, I swear you are so lucky you smell good or you may have gotten hit."

"You couldn't hit me, I'm too cute. Come on, it's our turn, looks like I have great timing." Santana rolled her eyes as sat down on the seat as Brittany sat down next to her.

Santana looked over at Brittany who's face was a little pale. "What's wrong?"

"Not really a fan of heights but I'll be okay since you're with me." She laid her head on Santana's shoulder and took the Latina's hand in her own.

"Sometimes you are too cute for your own good. Care to tell me where you went off too?"

Brittany laughed. "Nope, you'll see eventually."

As the ride finally started to move without stopping Santana couldn't help but admire the view. The lights from the fair looked like a Christmas tree from up in the air and she couldn't help but smile. "Wait why was it so important that we come to the fair tonight."

Looking down at her watching Brittany smiled as they stopped at the very top of the ride. "Perfect timing."

"Perfect timing for…" Santana cut her self off as she heard the first firework go off. She looked incredulously at Brittany. "You timed this?" Brittany nodded. "You told me you love fireworks."

"That was weeks ago Britt."

"And since then I knew I'd have to get you up here. Come on your missing the show stop looking at me and look at it." Santana leaned over and kissed Brittany's cheek before turning her attention back to the firework show. The butterflies were erupting in her stomach every time another firework went off and she saw the smile on Brittany's face.

By the time the show was done and they were back on even ground Santana's cheeks hurt from all the smiling she had been doing. "Night's almost over so how about we grab some mini donuts."

"Sounds perfect." They said their goodbyes to their friends and walked towards the donut stand. As Brittany ordered the donuts she noticed Santana looking over at the Birthday game that was shutting down, a small pout making its way onto her face.

"Sorry you didn't get that teddy bear, there's always next year."

Santana shook her hand as Brittany handed her the small bag of donuts. "Nah, it's alright, I still got you." She winked causing Brittany to let out a loud laugh.

"Give me one of those ya lil fatty." Brittany reached over and stuck her hand in the bag. "Want to go look at the sand sculptures before we head out?"

Santana nodded as she linked her arm through Brittany's. "Did you feel that?" She asked, looking at Brittany who ate their last donut.

"Feel what?"

"I thought I felt a drop of water but I guess not." Then without warning it started to rain, and not a light sprits but a down pour.

"Ugh! Are you kidding," Brittany yelled up at the sky taking Santana's hand. "Let's get you back to the truck before your dress gets ruined."

As Brittany went to run off towards the truck she noticed that Santana was still. "Santana, let's go." She couldn't help but laugh as they took off running towards Brittany's truck. "Hurry up and get in." Brittany said as she opened the door for her but Santana stood still, rain running over her cheeks.

Without warning Santana closed the door and took both Brittany's hands in hers. "Dance with me." It wasn't a question but a statement, one Brittany wasn't going to argue with. She took let go of one of Santana's hand and rested her now free hand on the slightly shorter girls hip. As the rain came down, neither seemed to care how wet they were getting or the fact that they'd probably end up sick unless they were lucky. They twirled and dipped as the rain continued to beat down on them and it was nothing short of perfect.

"You're crazy you know that right?" Brittany said as she drove home. Looking over she saw Santana laughing in the passenger seat.

"That is something I do know, but you like it because you're just as crazy."

They fell back into an easy silence as Brittany paid attention to the road in front of them. By the time they got home the rain had stopped so Brittany walked Santana to the door without having to bust out an umbrella. They stopped on the porch in front of the door like they had so many times before but this time it felt different. Santana wondered if she should kiss Brittany but she froze, something she never did. "This was definitely a date." She whispered as she hugged Brittany.

The blonde beamed. "Yes it was, thank you for an amazing night, sweet dreams princess."

"You too." Santana smiled as she walked into her house and closed the door. Leaning her back against it she sighed. "What happened to your nerve Lopez," she scolded herself. Turning around quickly she opened the door to stop Brittany but the girl was already gone. "Damn it! I wanted my goodnight kiss." She said to no one in particular as she made her way up to her room.

She turned the light on and headed for her bathroom to change out of her dress and hang it up, hoping it wasn't ruined. She hadn't paid attention to her surroundings until she came back out in Patrick boxers and a black tank top. That's when her bed caught her eye. Sitting on her bed was the teddy bear she had wanted so badly, a note and the stuffed duck she had won for Brittany.

I figured you may want to get your cuddle on and he was screaming your name.

- Princess Charming

Santana picked up the bear and held it close to her chest. It was then that she realised she'd forgiven Brittany for what happened, there wasn't a malicious bone in that girls body and she couldn't hold what someone else did against her.

"What are you going to name them?"

Jumping slightly she turned around with a smile. Before answer she dropped the bear on the bed and ran across her room to where Brittany stood at the doors to her balcony. "Thank you."

"That's a funny name for them San." Looking up at Brittany she couldn't help but laugh at the girls genuinely confused expression.

Without waiting another moment Santana leaned in and kissed Brittany softly on the lips. Her hand reaching up to trace her thumb over Brittany's rosy pink cheek. It only took a split second for Brittany to start kissing her back.

"Mmm, you taste like mini donuts, really yummy mini donuts." Brittany smiled when they finally broke away.

"So do you." Santana winked as she walked back over to her bed and grabbed the duck, handing it back to Brittany. "I have an idea for names for them."

"Oh yeah, what's that?"

"I was thinking yours could be Fuzzy and mine can be Wuzzy."

Brittany laughed. "You are so cute, and so lame but I like it. Fuzzy and Wuzzy it is."

"Want to stay the night and cuddle? My parents aren't home so we won't have to worry about that and I can make us breakfast in the morning."

"Chocolate chip pancakes?" Santana nodded. "Sounds awesome." Standing up the blonde got up and made her way to Santana's walk in closet pulling out her sweater and the same pair of shorts she always borrow from Santana when she slept over. She walked into the bathroom to change and when she came out she smiled at Santana curled up under the blankets in a bed full of pillows, holding Wuzzy under her arm. She pulled the covers back and crawled into bed. "So what'd you do tonight?" She asked with a huge grin on her face.

Smiling Santana turned her attention away from the tv. "Went on a date with this beautiful girl who happens to be my neighbour. Great girl she even won me the bear I wanted."

"Sounds like a keeper."

"I'm starting to think so. Wait how did you…" Santana looked into Brittany's eyes, trying to read what they were telling her, "that's where went? You went to get me this?" Brittany nodded and it wasn't long before Santana was placing feather light kissed all over her face before landing one last kiss on her lips. "That is the sweetest thing ever, thank you."

"Anything to see you smile."

Santana's phone vibrated on the table. "Sorry that's probably Quinn, I should at least send her a text before she starts calling." Brittany nodded and leaned her head back against the pillow.

I want details! Every single last one! Her face book status is so cute! Shaking her head Santana clicked a few buttons on her phone, finally finding what Quinn was talking about and her smile couldn't have gotten any bigger.

Brittany S. Pierce

"I don't know how it gets better than this, you take my hand and drag me head first fearless."

About an hour ago.

After another minute Santana laid back down against the pillows and curled into Brittany's side. All was quite until Brittany's phone went off on the nightstand. The message was from Sam and Brittany couldn't help but wonder what the boy wanted this late at night. Geez you really know how to make the moves on a girl, I need to take notes.

What are you talking about? She replied, having absolutely no clue what was going on and not really caring since Santana was in her arms. His reply was one word. Facebook.

Of course he couldn't just tell her, he had to make her work for it but she decided it was well worth it when she saw what she figured he was talking about.

Santana Lopez

"I don't know why with you I dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless."

About an hour ago.
