Chapter 11

Santana took a long cold shower but it didn't completely take away the aching feeling she felt between her legs. There was only one thing that was going to take that away. Santana was mad at herself for not following her instinct and joining Brittany in her vibrator session, especially when she found out afterwards that Brittany knew she was watching the whole time. Brittany had planned the whole thing she was trying to get to Santana as it was working. Santana fell for her plan hook, line, and sinker.

Santana dried her body after taking her cold shower and stared at the panties Brittany had given her to put on. They were panties that Brittany had actual worn and thinking about it made the aching and throbbing between Santana's legs increase. For God's sake the panties were clean it wasn't like Brittany gave her some she had worn the day before. Santana decided to go commando and put her dress pants back on. The pants were rough and the friction they created wasn't helping the throbbing between her legs. Santana wondered if before they ate she had time to run up to the penthouse and put on some more comfortable clothes.

Santana was about to leave the bathroom when she looked at her own panties lying on the bathroom floor. They were soaked where her arousal had overflowed while she was watching Brittany's vibrator show. She could take them and wash them but where she going to put them for now? She didn't really want to put them in her pants pocket. So she decided to just throw them in the small bathroom garbage can. Santana looked at herself in the mirror before leaving the bathroom to face Brittany.

Santana found Brittany sitting at her small kitchen table with the Chinese takeout food surrounding her while she was reading something on her laptop. She looked up from her laptop "It's about time. I'm starving but I didn't want to start eating without you." Santana just stood there by the table not moving so Brittany looked at her. "San sit down and eat. I really need to start working on the syllabuses for my classes."

Santana couldn't believe how quickly Brittany could change gears. One minute she was putting on a vibrator show and the next she was all serious about work. "Um…I think I'm going to upstairs real quick and change into something more comfortable. You can start eating I'll be right back." Santana hurried to the front door and left before Brittany could say anything. She hurried to the elevator and once inside the elevator she let out a deep breath and closed her eyes.

When Santana returned to Brittany's apartment about fifteen minutes later she knocked on the door until Brittany answered. Brittany opened the door and walked back to the kitchen table where she had started eating the Chinese food. "Why didn't you use your key instead of knocking? You afraid I might be pleasuring myself again?" Brittany giggled and Santana turned red.

Santana and Brittany ate in almost total silence. Brittany noticed Santana keep kind of squirming in her chair. At first she didn't say anything but after about five minutes of watching Santana squirm she had to say something. "Are you ok? You know where the bathroom is if you have to go."

Santana's felt her face get warm. She had hoped Brittany hadn't noticed her squirming. Even though she changed into shorts and tank top when she went up to the penthouse the aching and throbbing was still persistent between her legs. She was now wishing she had taken the time to take care of the aching and throbbing when she had gone to change her clothes.

"I'm fine just a little antsy tonight I guess." Santana tried to make it sound like was no big deal.

"Antsy is the right word because you sure are acting like you have ants in your pants." Brittany smiled and winked at Santana which of course made the throbbing more intense.

After they finished eating they moved to the couch to start working on Brittany's class syllabuses. Santana sat on the couch with the laptop on her lap while Brittany told her what to type. They had been working for almost three hours when Santana put the laptop on the coffee table and stretched her back. She suddenly felt hands massaging her lower back. That was it Santana couldn't take it any longer.

Santana turned to Brittany and practically lunged at her as she started kissing her. The kiss was none like the two had shared before. This kiss was passionate and full of emotion. Brittany was surprised at first but then she started kissing Santana back with just as much passion. The kiss ended with them both breathing heavily.

"W-what was that f-for?" Brittany stuttered out.

Santana smirked because for once it was Brittany who was speechless and not her. She didn't answer Brittany's question she just lunged in again and started another kiss. This time though after a few seconds Brittany pulled away. "Whoa, slow down. Playtime was earlier you missed your chance."

Santana decided Brittany wasn't pushing her away that easy so she leaned in for another kiss but Brittany again pulled away. "If you wanted to some sexy times you should've joined me earlier when you had the chance."

Santana quickly got up from the couch. "I have been dealing with a throbbing between my legs since your little vibrator show and now you are seriously going to push me away!" Santana paced around because she was angry and frustrated.

"Maybe you should go up to your place and finally use that vibrator. You will definitely feel better and you will stop being such a grump."

"You don't get it do you? I don't want to use that stupid vibrator. All I want is you. I want to make love to you." Santana turned away from Brittany because now she felt angry tears starting to fill her eyes.

Brittany sat on the couch speechless. They had talked about their strong and growing feelings for one another but hearing Santana say she wanted to make love to her was something entirely different. Brittany knew she should say or do something but she just sat there on the couch. After a couple of minutes passed Santana walked to the front door and walked out of the apartment.

Brittany continued to sit on the couch and when she realized what had just happened the tears fell down her face. No one had ever told her they wanted to make love to her. It was always just the physical act of having sex from the initial arousal to the orgasm.

The next morning Santana got up before Quinn and Rachel and went to work early because she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. She just wanted to get to work and focus on her patients. After leaving Brittany's apartment she went right to bed but was only able to sleep for a few hours. It was going to be a long day with many cups of coffee needed to keep her going.

Santana couldn't believe she told Brittany she wanted to make love to her. Even though it was the way she felt she had no idea what made her say it out loud. Maybe the teasing and sexual frustration had gotten to her. Her emotional declaration with no response from Brittany did one thing, it stopped the throbbing between her legs.

Santana sat at her desk at work trying to concentrate the files of the patients she would be seeing but it was no use Brittany kept creeping into her thoughts. They had gotten three of Brittany's class syllabuses done the night before and there was one more she needed to do and according to Brittany it was the one that needed the most detail. Santana had promised to help her and she never broke a promise.

The Baby Make aka Vibrator Virgin: What time tonight do you want to work on your last class syllabus?

Santana watched her phone for five minutes waiting for a reply but when none came she went back to getting ready for her patients.

When Brittany got the text her she got teary eyed because Santana was still willing to help her even though she had hurt her the night before when she had let her walk out the door without acknowledging what she had said about making love.

The morning luckily went by quickly for Santana. Now it was lunchtime and she again sitting at her desk lost in her thoughts about Brittany. There had been no reply to the text she had sent earlier so she was beginning to think her words the night before had scared Brittany away.

Santana was just about to leave work for the day when she got a reply to her text.

Vibrator Vixen: Thanks for the offer but one of the administrative assistants is going to help me with my syllabus.

Santana felt her heart break because the text said it all. Brittany didn't want her help which meant she didn't want to see her. Santana decided to go home, take a hot bath, and go to bed early since she didn't sleep well the night before. However, she wasn't sure she would be able to sleep any better tonight.

It was after 9 PM when Brittany finally got home from work. She had to explain every little detail to the administrative assistant that helped her with her syllabus. Santana and her worked much better together and got more done the night before in less time.

When Brittany opened her door she saw an envelope on the floor that someone must have slide under her door. After putting her bag down she picked up the envelope. Her first name only was written on the outside of the envelope. She recognized the writing immediately. It was Santana's. She remembers telling Santana that for someone in the medical profession that she had very neat and readable handwriting.

Brittany sat on the couch and opened the envelope. She took out the folded piece of paper.

Brittany,

I thought that I had better give you your spare key back.

Santana

Brittany turned the envelope upside down and let the key fall onto the coffee table. She closed her eyes and let the tears fall as her emotions overtook her. Santana and she had only met a few weeks ago and yet it felt like she had lost someone she had known for a lifetime. Why was so hard for her to admit that she wanted Santana to make love to her? No vibrator just Santana.

XXXXXXXXXX

A month had passed without Santana and Brittany talking to or seeing one another. Both were miserable of course but neither knew how to approach the other one and talk. Santana was convinced Brittany didn't want to ever see her again. While Brittany was sure she had hurt Santana so badly that she would never forgive her. Quinn and Rachel didn't know what do to help them. They had seen Brittany a few times and saw how sad she was and living with Santana was no picnic. Santana was withdrawn and spent time alone in her room but there were times she was terribly moody and bitchy.

One Friday night Brittany had just gotten home from work and was about to take a hot bath to relax when her cell phone rang. She saw it was Quinn and almost didn't answer because things had been a little awkward between them since her and Santana were no longer talking. Brittany decided to answer the phone.

"Hello"

"Hi Brittany it's Quinn. I hope I didn't catch you at a bad time."

"Actually I just got home from work and was going to take a hot bath and relax."

"I'm sorry to bother you but we need your help. We wouldn't bother you but everyone else is busy."

"What can I do to help you?" Brittany remembers how much Quinn and Rachel helped her when she broke her wrist.

"It's Santana. She's being discharged from the hospital in the morning…"

Brittany cut Quinn off. "Santana's in the hospital. Why?" Brittany's voice trembled with emotion which Quinn noticed.

"On Wednesday night she had to have her appendix removed. It was almost ready to burst. She hadn't been feeling well for a couple of days but you know Santana she didn't tell anyone."

"Is she ok?" Brittany sniffled.

"Yeah she's fine. She has been driving the nurses crazy at the hospital. I think they will glad to see her leave. The reason I called is that she is being discharged in the morning and there's no one who can pick her up. Rachel and I are going to a family wedding and Santana's parents are on a cruise. We were wondering if you could pick her up, bring her home, and stay with her until Rachel and I get back from the wedding. We will skip the reception so we can come home earlier. Brittany, we know things between you and Santana fell apart but we don't know what else to do."

Brittany thought for a moment. "What about Santana's brother? I remember her saying he lives in LA."

Quinn rolled her eyes because she had forgotten about Marco. She and Rachel had hoped with them and Santana's parents not being able to pick Santana up that Brittany would do it. They wanted to get Brittany and Santana together so they would see each other and realize how much they miss one another.

"I forgot all about Marco. I'll give him a call and see if he can pick Santana up in the morning. If he can't…"

Brittany once again interrupted Quinn. "I'll pick her up. You don't need to call Marco."

Quinn smiled on the other end of the phone. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I don't have any plans for the weekend. Why don't you and Rachel plan on going to the wedding reception too? I can take care of Santana."

"Oh ok. Thanks. I'll text you Santana's room number and what time she is be discharged. Thanks again Brittany."

"No problem. Bye."

"Bye Brittany."

When Quinn got off the phone she smiled at Rachel and nodded her head yes. They really did need someone to pick up Santana. They had just hoped it would be Brittany.

Brittany was relaxing in her hot bath thinking about Santana. She felt terrible Santana had her appendix out and she didn't even know it. A part of her was nervous about seeing Santana again and a part of her was excited.

XXXXXXXXX

Santana was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed waiting to be picked up and taken home. The nurse had already gone over her discharge instructions and given her the prescription for antibiotics she would need to get filled on the way home. All she needed now was a ride home and she would once again be a free woman.

The nurse came into her hospital room with a wheelchair. "Your ride is here. She stopped at the nurses' station to let us know she was here. I found out she was parked in the parking lot so I told her to bring her car around to the area where we discharge patients."

Santana reluctantly got into the wheelchair because she knew it was hospital policy that a patient when being discharged had to be taken to the car in a wheelchair by a nurse. The nurse carefully put Santana's bag on her lap and gave Santana the balloons to hold that Quinn and Rachel had gotten her. She felt like a fool holding the balloons as the nurse wheeled her to the elevator and down to the discharge area. It felt like everyone was staring at her.

Brittany moved her car from the parking to the discharge exit area by the hospital. She watched as a couple of patients being discharged got into cars to leave. Then she saw her and for the first time in a month she actually felt alive and happy. She couldn't help but smile at the grumpy look on Santana's face. She looked so cute holding her get well balloons. Brittany noticed Santana and the nurse looking around so Brittany knew it was her cue to get out of the car. She let out a deep breath and opened the car door and got out.

The nurse saw Brittany first. "There she is." The nurse started pushing the wheelchair toward Brittany's car. Santana looked up and saw Brittany. At first she thought she must be dreaming. The nurse stopped by the passenger side door of Brittany's car. Brittany noticed Santana wasn't looking at her at her all. The nurse handed Brittany Santana's bag and the balloons so she could put them in the back seat of the car. The nurse helped Santana in the passenger seat. She wished Santana good luck and speedy recovery.

Brittany gathered herself before opening the car door. She had just got in the car and closed the car door when Santana spoke. "Why are you here?" Santana's voice was quite raspy.

Brittany looked over at Santana who was looking straight ahead and then it hit Brittany. "You didn't know I was picking you up did you?" Santana shook her head no. Brittany banged her head on the steering wheel a couple of times. "I'm sorry I messed up again. I should've known Quinn and Rachel were setting us up. I'm so stupid sometimes I can't see what is right in front of me."

When Santana saw Brittany standing by her car she was shocked and the hurt feelings came back but now seeing her so upset all she wanted to do was hug her.

"It's not your fault and you're not stupid. It's Quinn. She's a conniving bitch. She told me she was picking me before going to the wedding. How about we just go home? I'm sure you have plans for the day. I do need to stop at the pharmacy and get a prescription filled if you have time." Santana's voice sounded like she had laryngitis and Brittany was concerned but she didn't dare ask about it.

"We can stop at get your prescription no problem, just tell me which pharmacy to go to." Brittany started the car and drove away from the hospital. She couldn't believe Quinn would do this to her and to say she was angry was an understatement and Brittany hardly ever got angry.

When they pulled into the parking lot of the pharmacy Santana started to get out of the car. "No you stay in the car I'll get your prescription." Brittany said it with such force that Santana didn't dare argue. She had noticed Brittany clenching her jaw since they left the hospital. Brittany seemed angry and Santana couldn't blame her because she was angry herself.

Once Brittany had gone into the pharmacy Santana sent Quinn a text message.

Santana: You are in so much fucking trouble Fabray and your little sidekick too. How dare you set Brittany and I up like this? I'm angry which should worry you greatly by the way. I'm upset because you have made Brittany angry and I have never seen her angry before. You both will pay.

Quinn: Someone had to do something because you 2 are acting like children. Everything just fell into place for her picking you up because we were all busy. Grow up and tell her how you feel. Rach and I are tired of you being moody and bitchy. For once in your life take a chance.

Santana didn't respond to Quinn's text.

When they got back to the apartment building Santana wouldn't let Brittany help her out of the car. It hurt to move but not too bad. They took her appendix out using laparoscopic surgery so she has 4 very small incisions instead of one large one from regular surgery.

Brittany carried Santana's bag and balloons into the penthouse for her. Santana went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. Brittany was still standing by the door when she came back. "Um…thanks for picking me up. I will deal with Quinn and Rachel."

"Quinn said I should stay with until they get back." Brittany said looking at her shoes.

Santana shook her head, "No, you don't need to do that. I'll be fine on my own. I'm just going to go lie down and watch TV. Thanks again."

"I really don't think you should be alone you just had surgery. I'm going to stay and I promise you won't even know I'm here."

"Suit yourself. I'm going to go to my bedroom. You can watch TV or whatever you want to do." Santana walked slowly to her bedroom. She had just gotten comfy in bed when there was soft knock on her door. "Come in."

Brittany opened the door halfway. "I was just wondering if you were hungry. I can fix you some soup or something."

"No, they gave me lunch at the hospital. You go ahead and eat I'm sure you are probably hungry."

"I'm not hungry I'm fine. I just wanted to make you lunch if you were hungry." Brittany for some reason found herself close to tears which Santana noticed and it broke her heart.

"Thanks if I need anything I'll let you know." Santana's voice was really cracking.

"I'll just be watching TV in the living room if you need me…I mean if need anything of course you don't need me." Brittany got all flustered with her what she had said.

Brittany was about to close the door when…"Britt, I just noticed you got your cast off."

"Yeah last week."

"I bet it feels good to have it off."

"It does. Lord Tubbington got his off this week so we both are cast free now. You rest." Brittany shut the door.

Santana laid there thinking about the promise she had made to LT not to hurt Brittany. She didn't realize she had hurt Brittany until she saw how sad she was today. She had thought Brittany just didn't want her around anymore.

Santana woke up when she heard knock on her bedroom door. "Come in." She barely got the words out because of her throat.

Brittany stuck her head in the door. "I'm sorry I woke you didn't I?"

"It's ok what time is it?"

"It's 5 o'clock."

"I slept for a long time. I need to take my antibiotic soon anyway."

"I just wanted you to know that Quinn and Rachel are back from wedding. They didn't stay long at the reception. I wanted to um say goodbye before I left and tell you I hope you get well soon." Brittany's voice was shaking with emotion like earlier.

"Thanks again for picking me up at the hospital."

"No problem. I'd better go."

"Ok. Britt? Can we maybe talk?"

Brittany opened the door and walked to the foot of Santana's bed. "Yeah, I'd like that. When you are feeling better give me call."

"I was thinking we could talk now if you have time." Santana looked into Brittany's eyes for the first time all day.

"I can talk now. I do need to go to my apartment and check on Lord Tubbington first."

"Of course go check on LT you've been here with me all day."

"I'll be back in a little while though." Brittany said as she walked out of the door.

Santana remembered the last words of Quinn's text. For once in your life take a chance.
