Chapter 14:
I followed her until my room but she closed the door in my face "this bed is taken tonight". Perfect, wonderful, I'm lacking of words to describe the end of this night. So Britt is mad at me but still sleeps in my bed then that means that I'm sleeping elsewhere. Where is Santana Lopez the HBIC is a thing that I would like to know. Now Rachel's bed is my destination, but I will turn around her Barbara Streisand doll because I think the doll stares me and is creepy.
I was peacefully sleeping and when I turn around "What the hell" I mumbled because I saw a body next to me "Britt?" I don't understand anything. Fucking unbelievable, she kicked me out of my freaking bed and now is sleeping in here. I'm going to my room and when I was about to get in bed I had an idea that involves a door, a bucket and water. So after set up my brilliant idea I'm going to happily sleep.
When I was younger I justified my wrongdoings telling that was Snix, my bad side but this will be signed by Santana Lopez all over it. Not much later I heard the door open and immediately the bucket fell and hit Britt's head "Ouchhh! What was that!" and a smirk spread over my face.
– You are lucky I've change and the bucket is empty, in old times had been filled with cold water and ice or maybe with a disgusting liquid – I felt the bucket hitting on my head – What are you doing?!
– I'm fighting back! – She laughed and she jumped into bed.
– Are you gonna sleep any time soon?
– I don't like sleep alone in a strange place and now I'm worried that you could bury me while I'm sleeping.
– Smart girl – I chuckled and she looks at me with confusion – I'm kidding, but this is not an unfamiliar place, you had been in my house thousands times.
– Still isn't my bed and I don't like be alone.
– Even if you are mad at me.
– Even if I still mad at you.
– Well then, good night!
And without another word I turn around and I got back to sleep.
I don't know what time is it when my phone (the one I forget in Rachel's bedroom) rang. Is Sue, that woman never sleeps! I pick the call when I'm in the living room.
– What?
– The adoption process is finally over!
– Oh – I said nonchalantly.
– Boobs McGee you could show a little bit of gratitude, don't you think?
– The last time you told me that Marley was moving in two weeks was a lie, so excuse me if I don't get my hopes up again so easily.
– Well then I will burn the papers.
– What! The papers! – Maybe a little tear of joy is running down to my cheek.
– Yes and I'm burning them.
– Stop it, thank you for your help!
– On Monday you can sign them. You disrespect my work again and you're out – Hhe hung up.
"Yes!" I said out loud and Brittany appeared in the living room only wearing an old t-shirt of mine and with her hair in a bun.
– What's going on? What time it is? – She seems a little confused.
– I don't know what fucking time is and I don't really care.
I go towards her, right now I'm so happy and I jumped on her, I put my legs around her hips and my arms around her neck, we stumble a little but Britt maintains the balance.
– Sue has the paperwork done! Finally I will adopt Marley – I'm so happy and so nervous at the same time.
– Uohh….
And I just kiss Brittany; right now I'm overjoyed and just let myself go, it was only putting our lips together and then I pulled away.
– Damn! I need to buy a few things! And some games for Marley or stuffed animals.
I leave Britt and I start pacing around the room trying to remember what stuff I need to buy and making mental notes, when Brittany grasp me by my hips.
– Calm down San! You already bought all that Marley needs, she has a room plenty of games, clothes and books – She lets out an adorable laugh – And the most important a mum who cares about her more than anything in the world.
And at this very moment I really think that Brittany Susan Pierce is flawless, deal with it! And maybe I fallen for her again, even I don't know if that's possible.
– I think I need a shower.
– Make yourself home.
She went to the room again and I sit on the couch, still thrilled for the previous events. And then the door opens and Rachel appears with a backpack and an envelope her hand. She suddenly stops I guess she didn't expect to see me sitting in the living room with a big grin in my face, after parties I usually sleep until afternoon. And there is an awkward silent, when we don't know what to do besides staring at each other. The silent was broken because of Britt's voice.
– I can't find the clean towels, where do you keep them? Rachel! – She was surprised for the presence of the tiny brunette.
– Hello there, Brittany! The clean towels are in the closet on the right.
– Okey-dokey! – Britt answered and disappeared again.
Rachel and I were in silence again, but then I thought that I screwed plenty of times too.
– We will be fine again if you take off that damn stick!
– Yes, I got rid of it yesterday. For greater good and Kurt's sake!
– Fine, now we can get over the sentimental bullshit – I said as I lay on the couch – So what are you going to make me for breakfast? And I want a normal breakfast not any vegan shit friendly of yours!
She makes her way to the sofa and gave the envelope that had been in her hand all the time.
– Tickets for Broadway?
– More specifically for "Rock ages" since you already seen "Wicked" several times, "The Lion king", "Mamma Mia" and "Annie" because of me, besides this is our thing for apologies, isn't it?
– Yeah, it is – I smile – But I'm still waiting for my breakfast.
– Of course.
– And I have some quite interesting news!
Rachel is in the kitchen making coffee and we talk about Marley. Harmony call me because a pipe broke at the bar and now I have to go because Puck's phone is off, he always take care of plumbing stuff, is more of his business than mine as weird as can sound. While I was talking with Harmony someone knocked on the door.
– Quinn! – Rachel said after open the door.
– Rachel! Thanks…. – Brittany said walking in the living room again after a shower and with fresh clothes.
– Brittany! – Quinn exclaims poking her head through the door.
– Now that we know the name of each one we can move on – I said after hung up on the phone and the three are glaring at me – What?
After a little breakfast, Britt is going home because she has stuff to do, Rachel has a rehearsal this afternoon and stays in home resting and Quinn comes to the bar with me.
– I'm glad that you and Rachel are fine even she's a little annoying sometimes, the two have been friends so long it would be a shame that you can't fix a little misunderstanding.
– Watch your mouth Fabray! Rachel is my friend.
– I didn't want…
Puck finally is calling back.
– It was about damn time! – I said answering under Quinn's gaze – Wait a moment Puck, I'm going to set the speaker because Quinn is in here too.
– What's up Q? How are your feet after dancing with Finn Astaire?
– My feet are fine, after all I dated him for almost a year and I can handle one night of dancing.
– Almost a year, I still can't believe it! – I said shaking my head.
– Finn Astaire, that's a good one! – Quinn said amused.
– Blonde, I'm the funniest guy you'll ever meet.
– That's the problem Puck; you think that you are funnier than you actually are.
– Give me a truce Santana! I'm hung-over! For once can you could be nice? Just once?
– Listen the poor man, give him a truce! – Quinn repeated like a parrot.
– So you know, Sofia was still asking about you, my advice put your shit together and have a fun!
– I don't need help with women, just for your information. And now I have other priorities since Marley is going to live with me!
– I didn't know, I'm happy for you, for both!
– Don't try to change the subject! – Quinn interjects.
– Fabray! Don't encourage him!
– For once he's right! And Marley is not an excuse.
– So what if I will have 40 and I'm still single, I don't care. And anyone could explain me – I started to say out loud and looking to the other side of the empty bar like someone else was in there – Why this conversation about a broken pipe turned into a conversation about my love life.
– More accurately about your lack of – Quinn pointed.
– Thanks for the input Bridget Jones; your love life is such a role model because is just missing a dust ball!
– Well I just thought about a broken pipe and I realized that you may…
– Don't you dare to finish that sentence Puck! – I raise my finger towards the speaker; even he can't saw me – Because I swear I'll kill you.
– She raised her finger, be careful.
– Calm your tits! I'm kidding.
– Whatever! The plumber is gone, the leak is fixed but we can't open until Monday.
– That's what I need to hear; now my fiancé is waiting for me, if you know what…..
– Puuuck! Stop it! – Quinn and I shout at once.
– Ok, ok, no need to scream, ladies see you soon.
Marley had been living with me for a month and a half, well with me and Rachel and we're perfectly fine, the transition was perfect. Is Wednesday night and Marley is a little bit sick. But the problem is that this Friday night she would sleeping into Hummel-Anderson's house because on Saturday morning Kurt, Blaine, Lucas and Marley are going to the amusement park and since I have to work on Friday night is way easier that the little girl sleeps there instead of in our house. "Our house" I like how it sounds, after this month and half I still have to get used.
– Don't worry; you will be fine for going to the park this weekend.
Marley has been so excited about the park it would break my heart if she does couldn't go because of flu.
– My head hurts. Can you kiss it?
– Of course! – And I gave her a kiss on the top of the head.
– I hope you don't get ill for kiss me.
– If I get ill, would be totally worth it. Want to know why? – Marley nods and I tickled her – Because you make my world a living place!
– So maybe….if we sing a little…maybe I could feel better – Marley said with a shy smile.
– Sure! - Note to myself perhaps Marley and Rachel spend too much time together – What do you want to sing?
– My parents' song!
The famous song, Marley explained me that her mother told that when their parents met, instantly fell in love like in a fairy tale and this song was playing in the background, maybe they met this way I really don't know. Also Marley believes that her father was a good man who died in a car accident before she was born; but nothing further from the truth the man was an asshole. A con man that left Marley's mother when he found out about the pregnancy and stole all the money because is what a fucking con man does. I admire Marley's mom, such a brave woman raising a kid by herself and still is capable to say good things about the twat who abandoned them even if they were lies, just only to make the kid a little bit happy.
– Don't know much about history, don't know much biology…– Marley started to sing – Sing with me, pleaseeee.
– Don't know much about the French I took – I started to sing and Marley joined in the parts she remembered – But I do know that I love you, and I know that if you love me too, what a wonderful world this would be.
I was making the pace's song tapping on my leg. "Don't know much about geography, don't know much trigonometry, don't know much about algebra, don't know what a slide rule is for, but I do know that one and one is two and if this one could be with you what a wonderful world this would be". I put other hand in front of my chest. I can't help that gesture when I'm singing. Marley's yawned once and closes her eyes briefly.
"Don't know much about history, don't know much biology, don't know much about science book, don't know much about the French I took" and I stroked Marley's cheek and she yawned again. "But I do know that I love you, and I know that if you love me too, what a wonderful world this would be" I finished the song softly because the little girl was already soundly sleep with a big smile on her face probably dreaming about how her parents met. And when I turn around I saw Rachel resting on the door frame smiling at me, we left the room and I close the door.
– I would give her the moon if I could – I said looking between Rachel and the door of Marley's room.
– I can tell – Rachel said as she nods.
And there was the kind of moment that I was expecting a Rachel's hug. I mean, is a sweet moment about Marley and me being a super awesome great mum, for god's sake Rachel even tried to hug me once when I won the prize in the cereal box and there's always a prize in cereal boxes!
– Aren't you going to try to hug me?
– The little girl is sick and you probably are going to be sick as well so I will let go this time.
– Rachel Berry just refused to hug someone, perhaps hell has frozen over!
– And I started walking to the kitchen and before I can take two steps she is hugging me.
– Marleyandyouaresupercute! – She said super quickly.
– Damn it Berry!
– It was your fault, you asked for a hug! – She was still clutching me tighter.
– No, I did not! I just wondered that if you were or not trying to hug me, which is different – And both began to laugh.
– Are you doing anything special right now?
– No, why? – I asked curiously.
– We haven't had a proper time to engage a conversation. What do you think about small talk before going to sleep?
– Both sat on the sofa and Rachel has an amused face as she puts the phone back into her pocket
– Soo… you never asked where I spent the night after our fight.
– I don't need, I learned a lesson and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship with bullshit – She was trying to give me serious look but she miserably failed – With more bullshit than usual. But you know that I'm still betting on your love life, that's my last offer!
– Yes, is the least I expect from all my dearest friends!
– But now that you mention, only for your information I didn't bring Brody to annoy Finn, but latter I realized that wasn't one of my best ideas.
– Yeah I know, but in fact helped me a little.
– Soooo you were mad because I was right?
– No, I was mad at you because Finn and Brody fought and you were the one who brought Brody.
– Well changing the subject, I have to ask something that is been on my mind lately, but it's about Jesse so if you don't want answ….
– Go on – She cut me off.
– It was worth it?
– What do you mean?
– The love, the marriage, the divorce, do you still think was worth it to be with Jesse despite the pain?
– Santana, I'd be lying if I said that wasn't worth it, at the time I thought he was the one and I guess that Jesse thought the same about me.
– Seems you have zero bitterness towards St. James. You have to admit that's a little weird because in the end he was who gave up on your marriage – Maybe that sounded a little rough – I'm just stating a fact.
– Yeah you have a point, but I don't have hard feelings because if I had been in his place I would have done the same, after all Jesse and I are very alike.
– Are you saying that you will give up on love because of work?
– Since when you are team "epic love" all the way? Because you are the most pragmatic person I ever knew.
– Excuse me being pragmatic is a blessing!
– After the divorce I stop believing in epics loves, they are just for movies but I really think as well that maybe with the right person I will find the balance – Her eyes are wide open, like she just got an epiphany or something like that – But that doesn't mean that if you want something, better get it before it's gone.
– For a moment I was a little worried but now I can see that she is still in there!
– Who?
– The hopeless romantic that we all known.
– Good night! – Rachel smiled and get up.
Now is officially in some place she has a knight in shining armor or at least an interesting mockingbird, only time will tell.
Friday came and fortunately Marley has recovered from the flu so after lunch Blaine came to pick her.
– Marley behave yourself!
– Ok San!
– Go and get your backpack! – Marley quickly goes.
– Santana! Marley is always an angel! So since you are working today until late, Kurt and I thought that she can stay with us until Sunday morning so you can relax on Saturday.
– In fact that's not a bad idea, Friday is always a busy day.
– Besides this way we can spend all day in the park!
– Yay, all day in the park! – Marley comes back to the living room.
– My kid changes her time with me for more time in the park – I laughed – Come here give a hug, have fun! – I kiss her on the top of the head.
Marley and Blaine left the apartment hand in hand and after a one last look to Marley and waving her goodbye I closed the door.
I'm getting ready for work but I'm not feeling quite well, the nauseas and malaise I had been feeling since yesterday are increasing. I'm so tired that I'm putting my pair of green converse instead of high heels and choosing more comfortable clothes that I have. I'm just getting hotter and no in a good way and but business is business and although I started to feeling a little numb, I grab the keys and walk towards the elevator but my knees suddenly falter and almost fell on the ground, but I was capable to lean against the wall.
So after a minute or maybe a couple of minutes leaning into the wall I call Puck, damn voicemail "I'm sick, I can't going to work" and I'm going back to my apartment because all at once I'm very tired. I open the door with the keys that still have in my hand. Once inside I'm going towards my room and in halfway I ran out of steam and I think I'm about to pass out.
