Author's Note- Hey guys, even though its finals week I had to get this out as soon as possible. So far this chapter is going to be just Brittany's POV but im considering from now on just sticking to Santana's. What do you guys think? Also if you have any ideas or suggestions for the fic please let me know. How did you guys like the finale?!


Brittany's POV

She stared back at me with her brown puppy eyes and just waited for me to answer. She looked so small sitting in that giant couch and the way she fiddled with her sleeves made me realize how adorable this woman was. I couldn't believe that after all these years she remembered something so small yet so meaningful and it honestly made me want to cry.

" San, what are you doing here?" I said trying to regain some of the composure I had lost by glancing mindlessly into her eyes. Even though part of me was extremely happy to know she had flown across the country and was now sitting in front of me the other part couldn't help but feel the restlessness of knowledge of Emily's proposal.

She patted the available seat next to her gesturing for me to sit. Once I was sitting right next to her she turned her body and began to wipe her hands on her thighs, I knew that was a sign of Santana being nervous so I patiently waited until she spoke up. " Britt, I know I said that our kiss didn't matter but seeing you with Sam made me feel horrible, it felt like someone had shot me in the chest. I panicked and just left and I let my anger get the best of me and i said things I shouldn't. I wanted to call you and apologize but I woke up late and Q was taking me to the airport because I was already late for my flight to meet Emily.."

I knew she was eventually going to mention the proposal and I felt the need to cut her off because maybe if I mentioned that I knew about it she wouldn't say anything and maybe not hearing it from her mouth could avoid me the heartache. I cut her off her rambling by whispering " I know about your proposal.."


Hope you guys liked it. Im already working on the next chapters. Please review and follow :)

The room was silent. All we heard was the outside noise of cars driving by Hollywood Blvd, the room was pretty much dark but there was enough light coming from outside so I was able to make out San's facial expressions. Her head hung low and I could tell she was upset because of the way her eyebrows furrowed. " How.."

" I was there when you told Quinn, she had you on speaker, well I picked up the call and had you on speaker. She took the phone from me after you said what Emily did."

She looked up at me and I could tell she was fighting back her tears " Britt, I was going..."

I put my hand up motioning her to stop speaking. I got up from the couch and walked over to the window, I couldn't look at her in the eye. " It's ok Santana, you don't have to explain anything to me. Emily is your girlfriend and its logical she purposed and you guys will have a great life together." I felt the tears burning my eyes. " If you're happy, I'm...happy" I whispered. Saying those words pretty much ended up hurting more than I expected, I wanted to be alone because I knew any minute now I would begin to cry and I wasn't going to let her see me break down.

I felt her hand on my shoulder. My breathing stopped for a minute feeling the burning sensation that was running through my body, Santana's touch always had that effect on me. " Britt.. please just listen to me." She let her hand slip from my shoulder until she managed to grab my hand. She gently pulled me towards the couch and motioned me to sit back down. Instead of sitting next to me like we originally started she just stood and slowly began to pace in front of me. She was biting her bottom lip and her eyes were beginning to water up. " I came here to talk to you about Emily and what happened. I had no idea you knew about that.." She stopped right in front of me and brown bore into blue as she spoke again " Do you remember how hard it was for me to talk about my feelings for you in high school? I had so much in my head and i never knew how to express them. When Ms. Holiday suggested singing I was finally able to allow myself to open up and express my real feelings for you. I came here because i needed to talk to you." I felt tears falling down my cheeks so i immediately glanced down to my lap but she gently grabbed my chin so i could look back at her face " Just please listen to me.." I couldn't form any words so i nodded. She let go a breath of relief and dropped her hand from my chin. Before i knew it she softly began to sing..

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But i'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

She brought herself down to her knees and we at eye level. She grabbed my hands making me look up and finding that now she was the one crying. She gently began to run her thumb against the back of my hands and continued singing..

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that i keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But

You're perfect to me

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You never love yourself half as much as i love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but i want you to
If i let you know, i'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like i love you oh and

I've just let these little things slips out of my mouth
'Cause it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
And i'm in love with you (and all these little things)

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things.

At this point we were both in tears just staring at each other. Santana had just finished singing probably the nicest song to me and I knew she meant every word of it. Santana always had a way of showing her true emotions through song. I opened my mouth to speak but she quickly let go of my hand and gently put it on my mouth to quiet me.

"No Britt, please let me finish then you can talk" She pleaded "Emily did purpose and at that moment my future flashed before my eyes. I saw my kids, all the things i would do and carry out. Even the little things, like spending the day at the beach or going to Bryant Park to ice skate in the winter. I'm not gonna lie I loved being able to imagine those things but in none of those dreams I imagined Emily. I said no. I couldn't marry her because my heart doesn't belong to her."

I kept my gaze on her lips as she spoke and when i heard her mention her heart my eyes darted back to stare at hers. " it doesn't?" i whispered.

She gave me a bashful smile as she shook her head and came closer. " No, it doesn't. I gave my heart away a long time ago to a cute little blonde back in arts and crafts." I couldn't help but smile " She has had it ever since and never gave it back."

A new army of tears began to form in the back of my eyes "San.."

"B, its always been you. I never stopped loving you and truth is that when i was imagining my future all i saw were little blondes and brunettes running around and most importantly you. The day i left Lima i felt empty but that's only because my heart stayed behind with you. I was just heartbroken knowing that you chose Sam over me and I forced myself to move on and that's when I met Emily. She became a part of me and i thought I was happy but the minute you walked back into my life i felt my heart beating again. You brought me back to life and I knew that I never stopped loving you. Then when you kissed me I knew that everything I knew i was missing was in you, so when i built the courage to confess to you I saw you kissing Trouty and i was instantly brought back to when you chose him over me." her voice began to crack a little. " Brittany, I flew all the way here because I can't be with anyone else because I'm still deeply, massively, head over heels, want to scream it out to the world in love with you."

At this point, we were both a sobbing mess but now we were both grinning widely. I couldn't contain myself anymore so I lunged myself at her making her fall on her back. "Santana, please tell me I'm not dreaming.." I whispered into here ear. " please tell me I wont wake up to know you are really marrying her because I swear my heart won't take it."

She pulled back a bit so she was staring at me again. "It's not a dream, I promise" She cupped my cheek and leaned in softly pressing her lips on mine and i couldn't help but whimper at the contact. She slowly began to kiss me and i kissed back in a matter of seconds our kiss deepened and we whispered countless " I Love You's" to each other. We pulled away slightly but still kept our foreheads together and i couldn't help but feel like my heart had grown double in size. I was seriously in so in love with this woman, she was everything to me and in those kisses she confirmed the feeling was mutual.

" How did you know where to find me? How did you even manage to get in here" I asked curiously. She looked into my eyes and began to giggle which made me giggle. She scrunched up her nose making my smile grow wilder because i knew she must have done something crazy.

"well after i read your letter I knew i had to find you so I ran out of my apartment and was on my way to yours when Q told me you had left for Los Angeles, so I grabbed my things and forced her to drive me to the airport and i booked the first ticket here. I also threatened to sabotage each one of her dates for the rest of her life if she didn't tell me where you were staying. Since she knew i was being serious she immediately told me where you were so i came straight here." She then giggled again and looked down bashfully " In order to get into your room I may or may not have stolen the housekeepers key"

I began to laugh at how adorable she looked. She looked like a little kid waiting for her parents to reprimand her behaving badly. I brought my hand to her face and brushed a stray of hair that was covering her face and gently placed a kiss on the tip of her nose. " I love you."

She looked back up at me and smiled a big smile. "I love you too."

She leaned forward and kissed me again. Our kiss began soft and slow but quickly turned frantic. Our lips glided against each others and she took in my bottom lip and bit it gently. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my mouth causing her to gently bite it again. Our hands began to roam over our bodies as our tongues met for the first time in so long. The way Santana was kissing me was seriously making me dizzy, I felt like I needed air but I at the same time i didn't want to pull away.

"mmm.. britt" She whispered against my lips. "Britt-Baby" She said again pulling away. " As much as i so want this now, I want you to know I really want to be with you but i want to do it right this time. We haven't been together in so long and even though we know each other like the back of our hands we still need to take things slow." She looked at me and smiled. " like getting to know each other again."

I stared back at the brunette under me and couldn't help feel my heart flutter. Her hair sprawled all over the floor and her lips were swollen from the extreme kissing we had just had. Her eyes were all puffy from all the tears and her make-up was all smeared, but she was beautiful. And all mine. I leaned down and pecked her on the lips " I would really like that too. "

I stood up from the floor and pulled her up as well and made my way back to the couch. I laid down first on the couch and patted on the space right next to me, she smiled and laid down right next to me nuzzling her face against my neck and wrapping her arm around my waist. Content in my current position, i wrapped my arm around her as well and just laid there with my eyes closed and slowly drifted off into sleep.


I was awaken by soft kisses. They were slowly moving up and down my neck and on my collarbone as well. My eyes were still closed but I couldn't fight back my smile knowing that those lips were Santana's and that everything that happened last night was real. She told me she loved me, it was clearly the best night of my life.

"MMMM.. you have no idea how much I missed waking up to this" I mumbled as I held her tighter in my embrace.

"You have no idea how much I missed being the one to wake you up like this" She continued to kiss me but this time she was lying on top of me and her kisses began to move up from my neck to my jaw and landed on my lips. We began to kiss and feeling our lips glide against one another I felt like no one in the world existed except for San and I. Time stopped and at that moment all I could think about was the fact that fate brought her back to me. The love of my life was here lying on top of me kissing me and i was kissing her back.

I pulled away just far enough i would be able to stare her. Her eyes were glistening and she was sporting such a huge smile. face scrunched up and her dimples began to show. I loved seeing her like this, so innocent it was the side that no one was able to see. I guess she noticed my staring because she began to feel shy because she immediately hid her face in the crook of my neck, making me smile. " Stop looking at me like that B"

I tried to pull her up to look at me again but she nuzzled into my neck further. " Like what?"

"I don't know. Like that. You just stare at me and something about your eyes get me dizzy. They're just so blue." She mumbled against my neck. I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how cute she was. She then pulled away and gave me a look. "Lopez's don't do cute. Were from Lima Heights, were badass "

"Fine you're badass." She grinned satisfied at my answer. "But a cute badass" I said as i began to tickle her making her squirm and laugh uncontrollably.

"Brittany!" she squealed as she tried to get away from me. I held on to her tighter as i continued to tickle her stomach. At this point we were rolling around in the bed. her trying to get away and me not letting her. Before we knew it we both rolled off the floor and she landed on top of me. We just laid there on the floor of the living room until our breathing slowed down. She had her head on my chest and had her hand under my shirt caressing my stomach while i played with her hair. Minutes turned into hours and we stayed like that, quietly just holding each other until she broke the silence. "How long are you going to be out here for?"

I continued playing with her. " Dunno, Matt needed someone urgently to choreograph the dance routines for the show that's currently filming. He said i would be here until they found a replacement. When he offered it to me, i really didn't have anything holding me back in New York other than the studio but he decided to delay the opening so i could be here." At the time i received his phone call i really just wanted to leave New York because i was so heart-broken so i really didn't care how long I had to stay in Los Angeles, all i wanted was to put distance between San and I, but now after what happened all i wanted to do was be with her. " When do you head back?"

She propped herself up on her elbow and pulled out her cell phone from her pocket. " My flight leaves in 5 hours" She said sadly.

" So what are we going to do?"

She smiled at me before leaning down and giving me a quick kiss " We're going to work it out babe. You'll only be her temporarily and we'll talk every single day. i'll fly out to see you every chance i get and we'll be together before you know it.

I guess that was the only solution for now. Even though i hated the idea of not being able to be close to San now that we were back together I knew we both have responsibilities to take care of. I had no other choice but to agree with her suggestion which in return she leaned down and kissed me again. Our little pecks turned into an extreme make out session that was cut short because San had to be in LAX to catch her flight.


In about an hour we made it to the airport just in time for her to check in and begin boarding. We walked hand in hand until the gate area where i knew i couldn't pass if i didnt have a ticket. She turned around and put her arms around my neck and pulled me close, i wrapped my arms around her waist and held her. " Call me the minute you land San. Ill miss you." I kissed her temple before pulling away but still keeping our embrace.

" I will B, I'll miss you too" She whispered before leaning in and capturing my lips. " I love you "

"I love you too." We unwrapped our arms from each other and she made her way to the gates. I stood there watching her until I couldn't see her anymore. I headed back out to the parking lot and got into the rental car i had been given when i arrived and couldn't help but pray my time here would go by quick because not even 5 minutes had passed and i was already missing her terribly. Just when i was about to pull out of the parking spot my phone buzzed. It was a text, from her.

Forever and always.. xoxo S-

My smile spread from ear to ear and i wrote out a reply.

Yes baby, forever. Love you. Britt-
