Monday evening 7:50pm:
"Gabby?!" Diego yelled and Santana took off to find him followed the rest of the group.
"What are you doing here?" Diego asked as Santana and the rest of the group showed up in the living to find Brittany and Diego standing in front of beautiful Latina. She was wearing a deep purple, sleeveless dress that ended right above her knees. She had her hair up in a simple bun. She was sitting on the couch but stood up when Santana and the group showed up.
Brittany was beyond confused. Diego had a huge smile on his face but Santana had narrowed eyes. Then they heard the front door shut.
"Hello? The door was open! Anyone here?" Kurt could be heard saying
"Boy you know those are like the last words anyone says in a horror movie?!" Mercedes spoke
"In the living room!" Mike hollered
"Gabby, seriously why are you here?" Santana finally spoke
"Aren't you happy to see your big sis?" Gabby grinned "I've missed the two of you. You've both grown up so much." She glanced around at everyone. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" she added her eyes stopping on Brittany.
"Sure" Diego said "This is Mercedes, Mike, Sam, Kurt, Rachel and Brittany. You already know Quinn. Guys this is our older sister, Gabby."
"It's nice to meet you." Rachel said extending her hand.
Gabby shook it and replied "It's nice to meet you too." While looking at Brittany
The tension in the room could've been toxic
"Well I came home just for a few days, needed a break from life, you know?" Gabby spoke up answering the earlier question.
"That's cool, what are your pla…" Diego got cut off by Gabby's phone ringing
Gabby held up her hand while she answered it and walked into the kitchen. Nobody said anything till she got back.
"Well, kids, that's my cue. I'll be home later." Gabby stated and walked out the front door.
Silence…
"Ok so, jam session?" Sam spoke up
"For sure, let's do it, but first some of you guys stink so please go shower." Kurt announced
Mike and Diego ran upstairs. Mike was going to use the master shower while Diego used his own. Brittany just looked at the ground until Rachel spoke up. "May we use your showers?"
"Oh yeah, sorry. You know where to go, right?" Santana asked and they nodded and turned to go upstairs till Brittany turned back and looked Santana in the eyes.
"Thank you, Santana." She said quietly before following Rachel
Monday evening 8:30pm:
When Brittany came back downstairs she was wearing white cargo shorts a black v neck t-shirt tucked behind a bright blue 'MX' belt buckle and black vans with her hair up.
"Damn" Quinn whispered to Santana looking at Brittany. Santana turned to look and really just wanted to jump her bones right there.
"Hey Diego, is it alright if I wash my gym clothes?" Brittany asked
"Yeah I was just about to throw mine in. How about you Rachel, Mike do you guys want to wash your stuff?" Diego asked
Mike nodded while Rachel said, "That would be wonderful Diego. Where is your laundry room located?"
"There are two but we can use the one in the basement. I'll take them down there just pile them up over there. Oh and everyone write a song title on a piece of paper and put it in that glass bowl on the coffee table." Diego said
"Uh why?" Brittany asked, confused
"You reach in and grab one and have to perform that song." Diego replied grinning
"Oooh this is going to be so much fun." Rachel clapped
Mike laid out small pieces of paper and pens on the table, everyone grabbed one and starting writing and dropping them in the bowl. Diego came back from the basement and was about to sit down when the doorbell rang. He went to answer and came back with Blaine in tow.
"Look who showed up just in time!" Diego said
A few minutes later everyone was sitting around talking with Diego stood up and announced that Rachel should be the first one to pick a song. She got very excited and picked one from the bowl. When she looked at it she grinned and glanced at everyone.
"Blaine, would you mind helping me with this one?" she asked. He nodded and walked up to the makeshift stage that hade speaker, and laptop, a keyboard and two microphones on it. To the side there were a couple guitars.
Once they got on the stage they both leaned over the laptop and whispered to each other. Then Blaine turned around and grabbed his microphone. Rachel pressed play and the music for 'Don't You Want Me' came on. Almost 4 minutes later everyone was clapping.
"Great job Rach. You too Blaine, you bot killed it." Brittany said once they got off the stage
"Ok Quinn, it's your turn." Mike said.
Quinn stood up and picked a piece of paper and laughed when she saw the song title. The music started and she sang 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World'. Brittany eyebrows shot up, amazed by her voice.
When the music ended there were wolf whistles from the guys and everyone was clapping. Santana glanced at Brittany and noticed her smile and got slightly jealous. Then she realized that Diego was saying that it was her turn. She grabbed a piece of paper and read the title. She seemed pleased with it as she got on stage. She grabbed the microphone and walked over to the laptop and pressed play. At first it was just her voice and the music joined in as she performs 'If I Die Young'.
Brittany couldn't take her eyes off of Santana. Her voice was beautiful, she was beautiful. Brittany swallowed hard and kept listening. When the song ended everyone immediately starting clapping except for Brittany. She was in complete shock. Santana was worried that she didn't like it till she saw a small smile on Brittany's face. She went back and sat down on the couch next to Quinn.
"Alright, B it's time." Diego said grinning. Brittany rolled her eyes and sighed but walked over to the bowl and pulled of a piece of paper.
The song on it made her roll her eyes again but she still went up to the stage after grabbing a guitar. She pulled up a stool and checked the guitar to make sure it was tuned correctly. Once she was ready she looked up and saw everyone looking at her, which didn't bother her but there was something a little nerve wracking about the way Rachel, Santana and Quinn were looking at her. Then she remembered how great they all sounded, but she brushed off the nerves and started playing.
Now she's not really a Justin Bieber fan but she actually like this song, not the she would ever admit it. It started out slowly.
"Oh Whoa
Oh Whoa
Oh Whoa
You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never, ever, ever be apart
Then it sped up. She glanced up at everyone and was surprised to see them all smiling and not laughing. She glanced over to the three 3 girls then looked away again.
Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
"Were just friends," what are you saying
Said "there's another," and looked right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time
And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I want to play it cool, but I'm losing you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around
And I'm like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Then she surprised everyone by rapping the next part.
When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks
She made my heart pound
I skip a beat when I see her on the street
And at school on the playground
But I really want to see her on the weekend
She knows she got me dazing 'cause she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying
Some of them laughed at her rapping but they weren't making fun of her they were just surprised.
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine
I'm gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone, gone, gone
I'm gone"
When song ended everyone stood up and clapped. She looked around and caught Rachel's eye then Quinn's and finally she settled on Santana. All of their smiles widened because she gave them some attention and that's when it her, and she suddenly felt like a complete idiot. 'What do I do about them?' she thought.
She was shaken from her thoughts when Kurt grabbed the guitar and gave her a knowing look, she just sighed and got up. Apparently Kurt had drawn a song and asked Mercedes to help him out with it. Brittany went back to her spot, leaning against the door frame, completely ignoring all three girls that were watching her.
The music started and Sam wolf whistled. They started singing '4 Minutes' by Madonna. Brittany had to admit that they sounded great together.
Just as the song ended the doorbell rang and Santana went to answer it, brushing past Brittany. She came back in the room with Finn, Puck and Artie.
"Jam session?" Puck asked. Diego nodded and invited them to go after Sam. Sam intervened and asked if Finn, Artie and Puck could help him with this song.
They agreed and all went to the stage and began whispering. They grabbed two guitars, one for Sam and one for Puck. Finn went to and got the keyboard. He messed around with till it made drum sounds. Sam and Puck started it off and Sam starting singing 'Billionaire'. Eventually Artie and Puck starting rapping and Finn sang along. They sounded amazing. Brittany bobbed her head to the beat, so into the music that she didn't notice the glances she kept getting from the three girls. When the song ended everyone clapped.
Finn went and grabbed a piece of paper for Artie. He laughed when he saw it, then he showed it to Artie. When the music started Artie started talking and Brittany grinned cause she loves this song. Artie was getting back up from the guys. She's always loved 'P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing)'. Artie completely killed it. When the song ended everyone was laughing and clapping.
Now it was Puck's turn. He grabbed a guitar while Blaine went and started the music on the lap top. 'Who would have thought he could pull of this song' Brittany thought while Puck sang 'Only the Good Die Young'.
Brittany got lost in the music again; Puck was doing a great job. When the song ended she smiled and clapped along with everyone else.
Finn was next and he got very excited with his pick. He started the music and Brittany smirked cause 'Jessie's Girl' is a classic and Finn was doing a great job covering it. Brittany tapped her foot along with the beat but then she felt eyes on her. She glanced around and connected eyes with Quinn. They smiled at each other but Rachel's reaction to that did not go unnoticed by Brittany. She knew that she would have to talk to them soon because she really didn't want this to get out of hand. Finn's song ended and some of the guys were booing him but they were just messing around.
"Hey Britt?" Diego said and everyone stopped talking. She hummed in question and he kept talking, "Think you can surprise us with a song? I'd like to hear you sing again cause the boys missed it."
"Uh sure. Just any song?" she asked
"Yeah whatever you want." D replied nodding
She walked up to the stage and grabbed a guitar. She looked through the lap top and found what she needed. She pressed play and tapped her foot to the beat and then she started playing along while singing. Everyone was shocked. ('T-shirt')
Get off work and we meet down at our spot
We had a patio with a view of a parking lot
It was two for one and four for two
Had Christmas lights in the middle of June
All hung up like I was on you
I say "Hey hey baby do you wanna come over?"
You say "No way", then you move in closer
Next thing I know you were in my
T-Shirt right there
Your hair messed up like a Guns-N-Roses video
Ooh ooh so hot
Still got it up in my head, you were moving around in the TV light
I ain't ever seen anything like, your dress, my floor, the way you wore, my my T-Shirt
We'll be walking up the stairs with the neighbors saying, "keep it down"
But it's hard to unlock the door when you're making out
You've been saying that we've gotta quit doing this,
So why you leaning in for one more kiss,
And pretty soon your sliding off what you've got on and slipping into my
T-Shirt right there
Your hair messed up like a Guns-N-Roses video
Ooh ooh so hot
Still got it up in my head, you were moving around in the TV light
I ain't ever seen anything like, your dress, my floor, the way you wore, my my T-Shirt
Oh no baby no I can't lie
Sure look good in my t-shirt
Oh no baby no I can't lie
You look good oh my my
I say "Hey hey baby do you wanna come over?"
You say "No way", then you move in closer
Next thing I know you were wearing my
T-Shirt, oh you look just so dang hot in my T-Shirt
To see you're spinning around in my T-Shirt, right there
Your hair messed up like a Guns-N-Roses video
Ooh ooh so hot
My T-Shirt right there
Your hair messed up like a Guns-N-Roses video
Ooh ooh so hot
Still got it up in my head, you were moving around in the TV light
I ain't ever seen anything like, your dress, my floor, the way you wore, my T-Shirt
When she looked up at everyone their jaws were basically on the ground. She got really nervous thinking that they would make fun of her for liking country music while still being so into hip-hop. Boy, was she wrong.
"Holy shit, B!" Diego hollered "I didn't know you were into country music!"
"That was amazing, Brittany!" Kurt said running up to hug her
"Now the real question is, do you really think it's hot when a girl wears your shirt?" Mercede asked grinning
"Well duh, Cedes!" She replied
"She speaks the truth." Diego added "It's super-hot when you've got a girl wearing any of your clothes."
"Praise!" Artie said
Brittany spared a glance at the three girls who all had amused looks on their faces. She just rolled her eyes and went back to talking to Diego and Artie.
"Oh hey there's and small race Wednesday afternoon. I think I'm gunna do it." She told Diego
"For real?!" He asked. She just nodded. "Dude can we come watch, like, all of us?"
"Yeah sure but there's something I wanna talk to you, Mike and Sam about first." She said nervously
"Everything ok?" D asked concerned
"Yeah, yeah I just need to talk to you guys later. Who all is staying the night?"
"Um you, Quinn, Rachel, Mike, Sam and maybe Kurt and Cedes. That ok?" D replied
"Yeah that works." Britt said
"Hey guys" Puck walks over "is Friday still on?"
"Oh hell yeah" Diego says grinning "Mikes sister and Quinn's sister are both gunna get the drinks we just need to give them money."
"Hey everybody" Puck yells "If you wanna drink on Friday at the party you need to put some money in the bowl." Pucks grins and walks over to Santana and sits next to her.
"Hey sexy. You excited about Friday?" he asks putting his arm around her shoulders
"Puckerman, leave me alone." Santana says through gritted teeth
"Baby, listen I think we should give 'us' a try." He says ignoring her earlier statement
"There is no, and never will be, an 'us', Puck." She sneers
"Look Santana, you're gunna be the new sexy cheerio and I'm gunna be co-captain of the basketball team. We are like perfect for each other."
Santana looks away from him and connects eyes with Brittany for a split second before Brittany looks away and continues talking to Diego. 'Is Brittany jealous?'
Santana thinks. "Listen to me Puck; it's not going to happen."
Puck drops his head and nods. As he starts to walk away he turns around and says, "Well let me know when you change your mind." He winks at her and walks away
Santana sees Brittany narrowing her at Puck and then Brittany walks out of the room and outside. Santana, Quinn and Rachel look at each other before Kurt and Mercedes come over and 'steal' Quinn and Rachel. Santana quickly gets up and goes out front only to see Brittany sitting on the front steps typing on her phone.
"Brittany?" Santana says quietly making Brittany jump a little. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you. What are you doing here?" She asks while she sits down next to Brittany on the steps.
"It's fine. When are you gunna stop calling me by my full name?" Brittany asks bluntly
"Uh what do you mean?" Santana asks, a little confused
"I mean everybody calls my 'Britt', 'B' or 'Bolt'. But you call me Brittany. Why's that?" Brittany says looking sideways to Santana
"You do the same thing, you know. Everyone calls me 'San', 'S' or 'Tana' but you call me Santana." She replies with a tiny smirk
Brittany shrugs and says quietly "I didn't want to overstep". She looks Santana in the eyes.
They search each other's eyes for a moment before they're both leaning in…
