Heyo. :)
Chapter 11
"I think I love you" was the only thing Santana could say, admiring every single sparkle shining on Brittany's face.
Brittany's eyes widen and the flower on top of her ear suddenly slides off, landing right on top of her lap as she unbelievingly gazes at Santana's brown orbs. A blush darkens on her pale cheeks as she shyly bows down and starts to play with her fingers mindlessly.
Santana was too caught up with Brittany's beauty that she didn't even realize the sudden confession she just blurted out. She swiftly shakes her head out from her thoughts and glances at Brittany for a while before bowing down too, scratching the back of her neck shyly.
"Is it true?" Brittany husks out, not moving her eyes away from her fingers.
"That… that you somehow love me?" she adds, taking a big gulp as she waits patiently for the truth.
There was no turning back, all those months of feeling something towards the blonde woman made Santana insane. It was now or never, she has to at least tell Brittany that she has feelings for her; the ones that would make her have a heart attack. Santana's only worry would be the painful rejection from Brittany if the woman didn't feel the same.
"Y-Yes, I think… no, I meant yes. I… I have a major crush on you Britt, I mean… not really a crush but an undying love for you? Sorry, that's too cheesy … I mean there's something inside my stomach that's aching… no that's to cliché… ughh.." Santana rants non-stop as the beating of her heart increases with every word that escapes her mouth.
Brittany slightly looks up to see Santana's forehead sweating a lot, you could tell that the Latina was very nervous. A giggle comes out of Brittany's lips when Santana suddenly slaps herself in the forehead because of something she said.
"You stole my heart… no, what I really meant was… I drank a love potion that made me fall… no, too harry potter-y. My thoughts and ac… crap, too … ugh! What the fuck am I saying.. I mean, I—"
Brittany cut her off by gently placing her index finger on Santana's lips, giving her a megawatt smile.
"Stop babbling, I just asked a simple question" Brittany teased with a goofy smile. She couldn't help it; Santana just confessed to her that she was in love with Brittany Susan Pierce. Well, she didn't exactly confessed, Santana blabbed and ranted non-stop instead, but that was good enough because Brittany remembered everything Santana rambled about, even the one when she said "the magnet in my heart was attracted to yours" which made Brittany laugh hysterically.
"Just give me a swift nod okay? Do you… love me in some kind of way?" Brittany rephrased, dropping her finger down and smiling broadly at Santana, who takes multiples of deep breaths. After a few more inhales from the Latina, Santana musters up all her courage and strength and stares directly at Brittany's baby blue eyes. This is the hardest thing she'd ever done.
"I do… I … I have fallen in love with you Britt" Santana finally announces to the blonde who was trying her best to hold in her excitement.
"But… Um, that is… do you have, you know… uhm, feelings for… uhm me?" Santana stuttered, suddenly feeling tense as Brittany's mouth slowly opens to answer her question.
Since Brittany was such in a good mood, she felt like teasing Santana just a little bit. "Yeah, I've fallen for someone too" she corrected, not precisely replying to Santana's question just now
A frown appears on Santana's face, her shoulders slumping down sadly. Did that mean Brittany didn't love Santana back?
"W-Who is it?" Santana choked out, feeling the urge to suddenly murder the person Brittany fell in love with.
Brittany secretly takes a small peek towards Santana who was gripping tightly on the hem of her tight tube dress with a frustrated expression, making Brittany want to continue on.
"Well, I'll give you one teeny little hint" Brittany whispers, scooting closer to Santana's side while twirling the flower on her hands. "Her name starts with a 'Y'" Brittany ends with a wide smirk.
Santana raises her eyebrows and begins to think of the many names that start with the letter 'Y'. The only thing that came to her head were Yosh, Yippie, Yohoo and Yeah, and those names don't even exist
"I … I don't know" Santana mutters softly, a tinge of jealousy erupting through her chest as she patiently waits for Brittany's next statement. Santana could not believe that after she confessed her love to Brittany, the woman just rejects her by saying she was in love with another woman. Brittany didn't even say sorry, which stabbed Santana badly in the heart and mind.
"Okay, the next letter is 'O'" Brittany whispers even more quietly than a while ago, scooting closer and closer that her ragged pants were already touching Santana's bare thighs and their faces just a few inches away as Brittany leaned forward to whisper those words to Santana's ear.
Santana shivers slightly, making sure Brittany doesn't notice it and starts to think all over again. Yep, it's a guy named Yosh.
"Yosh? Is that a name?" she answers with disdain. This is very convoluted.
Brittany shakes her head in disapproval and shuffles a bit so that she would sit directly in front of Santana's sad eyes. They stay like that for a short while, gazing at each other's beauty until Brittany slowly and gracefully lift her arms over Santana's neck and leans closer just a bit, so that their noses were touching, as well as forehead resting against forehead
"Wanna know the last word?" Brittany husks out, her breath tickling Santana's lips as she remembers what happened the other night, how close they were like right now and having secret feelings for each other. Santana didn't know about the kiss of course, it was Brittany's little secret.
Santana quivers, but nods sheepishly, closing her eyes as Brittany's breath came in contact with her skin. "Actually keep your eyes closed okay?" Brittany sweetly commanded, receiving another nod from Santana.
Brittany takes a deep, long breath and closes her eyes as well, saying one more thing before she pulls Santana in for a mind-blowing kiss she decided on doing. She is confessing her love after all.
"last letter is U" she said so softly, that even the flower on her lap could not hear if it were alive. Brittany made sure only Santana could hear it. Only the woman she was in love with deserves to hear her confession without anyone or anything in the way.
After saying that statement to a closed-eyed Santana, Brittany decided to continue her plan and lean forward to kiss her lover with so much compassion, earning a flinch from Santana, who slowly gave in and kissed Brittany back with all her might.
The kiss intensified as Santana gently pushes Brittany down on the bench and crawls on top of her, never breaking the kiss. Her dark brown hair was hitting Brittany's neck as both of them devourer one another, the blonde's hand slowly dropping the white flower. When it was hard to breathe, they stopped kissing and panted heavily, never breaking eye contact as a goofy smile was plastered on both their faces.
She couldn't believe this was happening, the moment she first met Brittany at hobbit and Quinn's wedding Santana could never stopped thinking about her. She wanted so desperately to make Brittany hers, and the thing she wrote in that post-it was definitely the truth. Santana was now happy; you could even say the happiest person in the whole galaxy.
Brittany felt the same thing too of course, no denying that.
"That was kind of sappy there Britt… spelling out the word 'you'" Santana teases as she placed soft kisses around Brittany's pale face.
Brittany hummed in response, too distracted with Santana's kisses. "It just came to mind" she mumbled, wrapping her arms around Santana's neck tighter.
Before Brittany could kiss Santana back, the woman already placed a finger on Brittany's lips, smiling weakly.
"As much as I want to do this, and believe me I do… I don't want to kiss you like hell in a mini-park. Mr and Mrs. Kim's butts were seated in this bench and we're laying down on it. Also, I kind of wanted to take it slow…." Santana said shyly, sitting up.
Instead of sitting up with Santana, Brittany rests her head on top of Santana's lap with a bright smile. "No worries, I'd love that too" she sighs in content when Santana starts to comb her hair with such tenderness.
"When was the time you first fell in love with me?" Brittany asks out of nowhere.
"Well. That is, don't laugh at me okay, but uhmm… ever since you walked down the aisle at Q's wedding, uhm… I guess that was it" Santana replies coyly. "H-How about you Britt?"
Brittany looks up to Santana's bowed down head and returns the statement with a grin. "Ever since Quinn introduced me to you. I didn't really see you throughout the mass, just the reception. I mean, I wasn't sure if I felt anything, but I know I felt a spark once I saw you and we started chatting. It was fun"
Santana chuckles softly while throwing her head back, still brushing Brittany's blonde locks when they heard a stifled cry. Brittany sat up immediately and furrowed her eye brows confusingly. "That sounds like Kay"
The cry erupted again, only it wasn't just a cry but a scream of help. Brittany's eyes widen as she jumps out of the bench and runs out of the mini-park. Once out of the gate, she turns left and sees a vibrating trash bin right behind the steel walls of the mini park.
"Please, its so cold here! Somebody" the trash-bin said, whimpering and crying aloud.
It took only a millisecond for Brittany to dart towards the bin and pluck out the lid to see Kazey's arms stretched sidewards with her legs scrunched up. Kay looks up to Brittany and frowns sadly.
"K-Kay is that—" Brittany didn't even finish her statement as she pulls Kay up from the bin and place her gently on the ground, kneeling in front of the little girl after.
Santana comes rushing out once Brittany left her side and looks to her left to see Kazey tackling Brittany with a bone crushing hug, crying loudly. Santana wanted to come over and help comfort the little girl, but it wasn't her place to even though she had a good guess that Molly was the one behind it. So with a simple wave, Santana informed Brittany, whose chin was on top of Kazey's shoulder that she was going to head back home.
Brittany nodded shortly and returned her attention back to the emotional Kazey. After a few moments, the crying decreased and Kazey slowly releases Brittany with a sniff.
"Wanna tell mommy why you were in there?"
Kazey doesn't respond but sobs instead, wiping her sloppy eyes here and there. She didn't want to tell Brittany about Molly, how the fat girl would always make fun of her asthma problem. That every time she entered school, Molly made sure that no one would befriend her at all. Molly made Kazey's life a living hell, and the poor girl was only 6!
"Kay?" Brittany pleaded, desperate for an answer.
As Santana thought it was now or never to tell Brittany how she felt, it was Kazey's turn, it was now or never for her to tell Brittany about Molly's true self.
"Molly"
"What about Molly?"
"She did that to me" replied Kazey, pointing towards the now empty trash bin.
"Oh come on sweetie, that's not funny. Who is it really?" Brittany says while tucking some loose strands of Kazey's hair behind her ear.
Kazey pouts enormously and crosses her arms together. She knew this would be the result of saying the truth, ever since both of them started living in Oakwood village; Molly would visit them countless times and beg Brittany to let Kazey come over. At first, Kazey was happy to have made a new friend, but little did she know, once she arrived at Molly's place, the fat girl would not stop teasing and laughing at Kazey's high asthma.
"I'm not lying" Kazey grunted, her sniffs becoming less.
"Oh come on Kay, why would Molly do that to you?" Brittany tells the little girl sweetly. "Molly would ne—"
"She would Brittany! She would! She did it many times and if I was dreaming it's a nightmare then!" Kazey cut her off, completely startling Brittany. Kazey never called Brittany, well ….. Brittany. It was either mommy or mom that was it. Kazey doesn't know why she suddenly called her that, but the girl couldn't help it. She was frustrated, frustrated at her parents for leaving Brittany and her, frustrated for Molly torturing her every single day, frustrated for never having a single friend, besides her aunties. What's bad is, Kazey Pierce is just a 6-year old kid, she doesn't deserve this kind of sorrow.
"Please… Mom… just…" Kazey began to cry again for the horrible feeling inside of her when she saw Brittany's face after calling her 'Brittany'. She's just a kid, why does her life have to suck so much?
Kazey ran away and left Brittany kneeling down on the ground, completely bewildered by the event. Brittany felt like she was the kid and Kazey was the adult. Kazey was smarter than Brittany, much more matured actually, so it wasn't a surprise when she heard Kazey talk back to her, she's just a kid and Brittany would always be patient with her.
But what surprised Brittany the most was the fact Molly had been deceiving her. Molly has been giving Kazey such a hard time. No wonder Kazey never wanted to go trick or treating, no wonder Kazey sometimes wanted to be absent in school, no wonder Kazey never brought any friends home but only Molly. How could I be so stupid? Brittany thought deeply, massaging her forehead roughly.
She then decided to head back home since that was the only place Kazey would be right now. Kazey's first option of course would be the park, but that's currently occupied. Whilst walking down the road, she spots Molly talking with another girl who was fatter than her, both laughing hard. Knowing fully they were talking about Kazey, Brittany stomps her way to them, earning a smile from Molly whom Brittany knew was all forced.
"Hi. Miss Pierce, have you seen Kazey?" Molly said, fueling the anger inside of Brittany even more.
Molly was the one who did that to Kazey and yet she's asking where she is? Brittany feels disgusted already.
"Oh, this is my friend Lena by the way" she adds as the fat girl beside her waves at Brittany with a wide smile.
"Hello, Lena" Brittany choked out, unsure if she should talk nicely to her. Who knows, she might be doing mean things to Kazey too.
"So, where's Kazey-poo Miss Pierce" Molly repeated, nudging her elbow to Lena's side like it was some kind of joke.
"Sorry, I don't have the time to talk right now" mumbled Brittany, quickly gliding past the two fat girls and back to her house.
As Brittany was nearing Pierce residence, she immediately spots Kazey sitting down on the front lawn, curled into a ball with her face resting on top of her knees.
Kazey doesn't respond to Brittany once she feels a presence sit down beside her. She simply continues to play with the grass, even plucking some out.
"Kay… I'm sorry… I should have believed you, you're my… blood after all" Brittany choked out. She wasn't sure whether to say daughter or sister after Kazey's outburst a while ago.
"It's not really your fault, I was just sad and mad" she mutters, raising her head up to look at Brittany with a weak smile. "it's not your fault…" she repeats slowly.
"It is Kay, I should have…" Brittany's eyes began to water, realizing she hasn't been such a good mother lately.
Kazey notices Brittany's eyes getting watery so she crawls in front of her mother and smiles sweetly, wiping a fallen tear away. "Sorry Mommy, I didn't mean to get mad at you or call you Brittany" she apologizes, closing her eyes to smile wider.
This action made Brittany want to hug the life out of Kazey, but she knew better, so instead she pinched the bridge of Kazey's nose and returned the smile.
"It. Isn't. you're. fault." Brittany says, repeating Kazey's words, as well as making the young girl laugh.
Once the laughing subdues, Kazey sits up and throws her hands in the air with ease. "I love you mommy!" she screams loudly, earning strange stares from the many people walking by.
Brittany stands up too and throws her head back. "I love you Kay!" she yells, louder than Kazey's squeaky voice.
Both start to laugh again when suddenly they hear a door being slammed open. They see Ron, the police guard, running out like a sad man. A vase then flew out of the door, almost landing on top of him as he yelps away.
"you better run!"
Santana comes out with another vase in hand when she notices two blonde figures laughing together. She shyly puts the vase down and scratches her head with a sly grin. "Sorry, I didn't mean to uhm…. Break your vase. I'll buy a new one!" she immediately reasons out.
"It's okay, I was wondering what to do with it anyways" Brittany teases, winking at Kazey as the little girl winks back.
"Uhm, that guy… I was just surprised he was in the house so I kind of got mad at him" she explains as the duo walk inside hand-in-hand.
"He's the guard, San"
"Who cares if he's a guard? He has no right! Unless.. you allowed him to"
"Actually I did San" Brittany giggles as Santana blushes furiously.
"How embarrassing" Santana mutters while shaking her head back and forth.
"Mommy, I want to go to sleep now!" Kazey announces, entering her room.
"Okay honey, make sure you change!" Brittany exclaims, receiving no response.
"So, what happened to Kazey?" Santana curiously asked, helping Brittany settle some of the cupcake trays inside the kitchen and on the sink.
"Let's just say she won't be talking to Molly for a while" Brittany smirks playfully.
Santana returns the smirk, knowing fully what she meant. "That's good"
"Uhuh. Wait, you knew she wasn't going along with Molly?" Brittany gasped, resting both of her hands on her waist.
"Just tonight" Santana lied but Brittany accepted it anyways.
"Hey, I'm going to hit the showers then the bed, my dress is filled with mud" Santana informs, receiving a nod from Brittany.
The next thing Santana did completely caught Brittany off-guard. Santana placed a sloppy kiss on Brittany's cheek.
Brittany turns around to say something back but the ringing of her phone stops her. Santana smiles weakly and glides her way towards the bathroom with a goofy grin. She couldn't believe it. She and Brittany are in love with each other.
Santana grabs a towel from the shelves and enters the cubicle while humming gleefully.
XOXOXOXO
"Hello Brittany Pierce here" Brittany greets with the phone placed between her cheek and shoulder as she eyes Santana's butt smugly. She couldn't believe it, she and Santana were in love with each other.
"Hello Brittany" a man's voice said.
Brittany's eyes widen as she lets the phone slip off her shoulders. She knew that voice, so rough, so demanding, so strict, so… arrogant, It was her dad.
XOXOXOXOXO
Santana got out the bathroom feeling refreshed and entered her room. After changing into some pajamas, she checks the time. Brittany's probably asleep now Santana thought, so she got in bed and sighed deeply. Today was such a long one.
Turning off the lights she let sleep overtake her… until, a few minutes later she feels the bed dip down and a presence approaching her. Santana turns around only to be met by Brittany's frail body. Santana knows it dark, she knows that, but why is it she could see Brittany's face so well? Her eyes dark red, her cheeks… are somehow stained with dried tears.
"Britt?"
"S-San… Can … I – stay here f-first?" Brittany sobbed, scooting closer to the Latina.
Santana doesn't complain and envelopes Brittany in a hug. As time passes by, Brittany's cries became screams and this frightened the Latina gravely. Brittany's screams were hurting her ears. Brittany looked and sounded shattered, like someone's about to kill her, like someone's about to come and get her.
What happened to Brittany while Santana was in the showers?
