Chapter 11: Brittany's POV

Today was a great day at work. I worked with some kids and they were adorable. They have a lot of potential and I'm looking forward to teaching them again.

I'm still worried about Q and maybe I have a good reason..

"Q? Are you home?" I call into our two-story townhouse and get no reply.

"Q?" I call again and now I'm searching the rooms.

I've checked all of the first floor and I'm heading upstairs now. I check the bathrooms and the guest bedroom to find nothing.

I head to her bedroom and I find her under the covers, chuckling to herself staring at her phone..

"Q, didn't you hear me? I was worried something had happened." I tell her with worry.

She snaps out of her trance and says, "Sorry, B. I've just been texting all day and I've been distracted."

"Its okay, just don't do it again. Who are you texting thats making you laugh?" I ask in suspicion.

"Rachel, she responded to my drunken text. Thought it was pretty funny." she said in nonchalance.

"Really?.. And how's that going?"

"Its pretty good. She's here in New York doing broadway, obviously. She wants to see me sometime." She says with a grin.

"That's great, Q! Maybe we could all go out sometime after you see her."

"Yeah, we should. I just won't tell you when. It'll be part of your surprise." She says with a wink.

"Quuuuiinnn! At least give me a hint!" I whine.

"No, B. You'll just have to wait. It'll be worth it, I promise." She smiles.

"Ugh, fine." I pout.

"It'll happen sooner than you think, B. just be patient." She smiles.

I swear Quinn confuses me sometimes, but I have no choice but to believe her..


Santana's POV

SORE. That's the only word I can use to describe my morning. Believe it or not, bar tending is really hard work. The fact that I went to the gym and spent two hours working out, didn't help.

Today, I plan on doing nothing but relaxing until my shift. I decide to text Scarlett, even though she's not the one on my mind..

To: Scarlett
'Hey, it's Santana. ;)'
10:45 AM

'The flirt.. I thought I'd scared you away.'

'I'm Santana Lopez. I never back down from a challenge. It only makes the chase more interesting. ;)'
10:53 AM

From: Scarlett

'Mm. Well, I guess we'll see. Maybe you're worth my time. ;)'
11:01 AM

To: Scarlett

'Oh, trust me. I'll make it worth your while if you come to my bar tonight.. ;)'

'Whats it called?'

'The Bloody Shark.'
11:13 AM

From: Scarlett
'Maybe I'll show up, you'll just have to wait and see ;) I'm at work so maybe I'll see you tonight, okay?'
11:25 AM

To: Scarlett
'Alright, I wouldn't pass it up if I were you.. ;) Have a nice day, Scarlett.'
11:30 AM

From: Scarlett
'Mhm.. You too, Santana. :)'
11:35 AM

Maybe this could work out, even if its only short term.. I'm not looking for anything serious with her though.


"San, did you talk to her?" Puck asks at the bar.

"Yeah, she's alright. She's more interesting face to face than anything.."
I reply.

"So you're not gonna go after her?"

"I mean, yeah, I guess.. She just seems kinda shady, is all."

"Well, maybe you could just tap and go.. Then pass her on to me." he says with a wink.

"Sure, Puck.." I reply.

"Are you okay, San?" he asks with a worried tone.

"I really don't know. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I just need to get out.."

"Well, I think I have a surprise that'll cheer you up later." he says with a grin.

"Puck, no strippers please.." I glare.

"No strippers, I promise."

"Okay. By the way, Scarlett may be coming to the bar tonight." I inform him.

"Well, this should be an interesting night then.." he mutters.

"Why?"

"No reason.. Just be patient tonight." he smiles and heads to the back of the bar.

For some reason, I'm really worried. I have a feeling tonight could go wrong..


Brittany's POV

"Brittany! Get dressed, today is your surprise! Wear something nice." Quinn says.

"Ugh, Q. Don't rush me.." I groan.

"Come on, here. Wear this and this." she says, pulling out a short, form fitting dress and heels.

I pull on the dress and heels. I'm feeling pretty good so I leave my hair down and head back out to Quinn who is holding a blindfold..

"Quinn.. This better be good.." I frown.

"B, cheer up. It'll be great." she says while we're heading towards her car.

"Okay, Q."

"Put this on.." she says.

I put on the blindfold and everything goes dark but I can tell we're moving. About 20 minutes later, the car stops and my door opens a second later.

Quinn guides me somewhere and grabs my hand. She presses onto something cold and metal.

"I'm gonna go now. When you hear me leave, go inside and remove your blindfold. You'll thank me later." She says and presses a kiss to my cheek.

The car skids away a few minute later and I open the door.

Removing the blindfold, I see that I'm at The Bloody Shark..

"Ugh. Q, I'm gonna kill you.."


I'm opening the door and the place is pretty full tonight. I can spot Puck's clean cut Mohawk and I walk towards him.

"Hey, Puck. It's been awhile" I grin at him.

"Hey, Britt." he smile mischievously.

"I guess you're in on it too?" I glare.

"Yup. Head on over there." he says with a smile.

I leave him and all of a sudden, I feel very nervous. I make my way towards the bar and spot Santana.. Talking to a red head with a flirtatious grin.

Something pulls in the pit of my heart. Something I hadn't felt since I'd seen her with Charlie.

I brace myself when the redhead leans toward Santana and pulls her in for a searing kiss. The tugging is even more prominent now and I feel like slapping the fuck out of that chick.

Jealousy. Something I've only ever felt with Santana. I still muster up the courage to walk over there and clear my throat, making my presence known.

This is worse than I thought and I'd remember to resent Quinn for setting this up. She picked the wrong day..


Santana's POV

Scarlett decides to show up at the bar and after a few minutes of flirting, she pulls me into a hot kiss.

Her mouth tastes faintly of cinnamon and as my tongue brushes her bottom lip, she gives me access. Our tongues fight for dominance until someone clears their throat..

"Brittany? Um.. hi." I stutter

"Hello, Santana." She replies.

"Uh, this um, Scarlett."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you. So San, this is a wonderful surprise. I get to see you mackin' it out with a girl you've only probably known for two days." she says sarcastically.

"Uhm, I'll call you later, Santana.." she says and gets up to leave.

" Britt! What the hell was that?" I ask with a hint of anger in my tone.

"That was me stating the obvious. I can tell how you are with people, San and she's not good enough for you. Just a fuck buddy like Charlie, I hope." she says.

"Brittany, what the hell? First you tell me you love me, then you want to move on, but now you're getting jealous? Make up your damn mind!" I exclaim in anger.

"You know what, Santana? This wouldn't be happening if you had the balls to take risks. You ALWAYS play it safe. Even now. But what you don't know is how much you hurt the people around you. And yes, I'm jealous. I've wanted you to kiss me like that since the day of graduation but all I got was a goodbye!" she says.

I can say nothing because she's completely right and I know this..

"Britt, I'm-"

"You're what? Sorry? That's not gonna cut it anymore, Santana. So I'll make this easier for you and butt out already. Don't bother calling or texting. I'm done already."

Then she leaves. Gone. Possibly forever and I'm too shocked and confused to chase her.

The one thing worth chasing and I can't do it..
