"Santana…"
The Latina kept walking around the choir room. She was pacing Santana Lopez doesn't do pacing.
"Would you just calm down already? You're going to do fine"
"Don't tell me to calm down Fabray! I'm calmed"
"You're pacing"
"I am NOT pacing I'm just, breathing… a lot and fast" she muttered.
"You're about to shit your pants"
"Remind me why you are here again" Santana asked bitterly. Quinn smirked and let out a short laugh.
"To cheer you up"
"I don't need to be cheered up you dumbass I just need a RedBull and maybe some pot" Santana barked still walking in circles.
"Bummer, I left the pot on my car"
Santana shot her a death glare.
"I don't see what the big deal is, I've seen the routine. I hate to admit it but you did a pretty good job, that trophy is yours"
"I don't care about the stupid trophy Quinn! I care about my freaking safety!"
Quinn gave her a questioning look.
"If we lose Quinn, Coach Sylvester is going to blow my boobs and feed them to a hedgehog or something"
"Santana don't be ridiculous"
"Do you think I'm exaggerating?"
"Of course I think you're exaggerating"
Santana raised her eyebrows in question.
"You honestly think a hedgehog would be able to swallow your boobs"
"All right, get the fuck out of here"
Quinn chuckled "We have glee club you can't kick me out of here"
"Fine" Santana said walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To hit my head with a rock or something less painful than the sound of your voice"
Quinn sighed as she saw her friend walking out of the room "Guess it's time to call reinforcements" she took out her cell phone and looked for someone who'd be able to calm down the Latina for sure. When she found it, she pressed 'call'.
Brittany: Hey Quinn!
Quinn: Hey B, need a little help here.
Brittany: Sure! What's up?
Quinn: It's your girlfriend.
Brittany: What? What happened? Is she okay?
Quinn: I'm not sure, she's terrified for the championship this Saturday, but she just won't admit it.
Brittany: Oh, yeah, she's having a hard time.
Quinn: Well, I think you should do something before she kills herself.
Brittany: What?
Quinn: She said something about hitting her head with a rock?
Brittany: I'll talk to her.
Quinn: Sweet, maybe you can offer her sex or something. (she mocked)
Brittany: Comments like that one are the ones that get you insults from Santana. (she said rolling her eyes playfully)
Quinn: What can I say? It's fun messing with her.
Brittany: Bye Quinn. (she chuckled)
Quinn: Bye, talk to you later. (she smirked evilly)
Brittany sighed. She hated it when her girlfriend got all hyper and anxious about stuff like this. Especially when she knew both Coach Roz and Coach Sylvester would cut her head off if something went wrong with the routine. She looked for her name in her contact list and called her right away.
Britt-Britt: Hey baby (she said with a smile)
Baby: Britt! Hey! Sorry I haven't called you, I was afraid you might be sleeping and I didn't want to wake you.
Britt-Britt: It's okay honey, don't worry about it.
Baby: How's that fever going?
Britt-Britt: Terrible, I can't wait for you to ditch school and come snuggle with me.
Baby: Awww baby I'm dying to see you too. I just want to get out of here.
Britt-Britt: Why? What's wrong?
Baby: Nothing's wrong it's just that Coach Sue keeps hunting me and Coach Roz keeps calling me into her office to ask me why is Coach Sue talking to me and today at cheerio practice they made me change the routine five times.
Britt-Britt: What? We have to learn a new routine for this Saturday?
Baby: Thankfully no, they both got so caught up fighting that we ended up with the original routine.
Britt-Britt: Well that's a relief.
Baby: Yeah, but they keep playing ping-pong with me and it's exhausting.
Britt-Britt: They let you play ping-pong with them?
Baby: What? No… I mean me as in the ball.
Britt-Britt: Oh, that sucks honey, but it's only three more hours until you can come to my place and take care of me.
Baby: I'm looking forward to it Britt, trust me.
Santana could sense Brittany's smile and she grinned as well at the thought of spending her afternoon with her girlfriend.
Baby: Ugh, great.
Britt-Britt: What?
Baby: I have to go to class, and guess what? Since you didn't come, Mr. Clarke paired me up with Berry for a presentation.
Brittany started laughing her lungs out.
Baby: I don't see how this is funny.
Britt-Britt: I'm sorry baby (she said chuckling a little and catching up her breath) Call me when you're done with school?
Baby: Sure will. I'll see you in three hours.
Britt-Britt: Awesome, I'm going to sleep a little more so I don't fall asleep when you're here. I love you honey!
Baby: I love you more baby, bye!"
Britt-Britt: Bye.
At the Pierces…
"Good afternoon Mrs. Pierce"
"Hello Santana! Will you have to marry my daughter so you can feel comfortable calling me Annaliese?"
Santana instantly blushed and Mrs. Pierce couldn't help but laugh.
"How-how's Britt?" Santana asked trying to avoid eye contact.
"She's still a little dizzy, but her temperature is getting better. She's up in her room" Annaliese smiled at Santana giving her permission for her to go to Brittany's room. Santana nodded and thanked her before going upstairs to meet her beautiful girlfriend.
When she got to Brittany's room and opened the door she found the blonde sleeping. She smiled at the sight of how peaceful she looked and quietly approached her bed to sit next to her. Her cheeks were a little red from the fever and her forehead a little wet from the sweat, but for Santana, her girlfriend couldn't look more gorgeous.
She didn't want to wake Brittany up, so she sat on the bed resting her back on the headboard and started reading one of Brittany's cat-care magazines. It wasn't long until she felt a hand traveling up her stomach. She tilted her head to face Brittany and found her staring at her with a huge smile.
"Hey baby" the blonde greeted sweetly.
"Hi beautiful!" the Latina beamed tossing the magazine and laying on the bed on her side to get a better view of the blonde. She cupped one of Brittany's cheeks with her hand and leaned forward to kiss her gently. "You're hot baby" she said caressing her cheek "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling much better now that you're here" Brittany said tenderly wrapping one of her arms around Santana's neck pulling her in for a hug "I've missed you a lot today" she said before placing a peck on her cheek.
"I've missed you too baby so much" Santana responded kissing Brittany's neck.
Brittany hummed a happy noise and let herself melt into her girlfriend's embrace. Santana smiled into Brittany's neck and nuzzled it tickling the blonde sweetly.
"Sooo has my little panda slept all day long?" Santana asked pepper kissing Brittany's cheek.
"Mhmm" she then turned her head to capture her girlfriends lips for a few seconds "And whenever I was awake I was just thinking about you"
Santana grinned and pecked the blonde again "Have I ever told you how cute you are?"
"All the time baby" Brittany answered rubbing the Latina's cheek. They stayed like that for several minutes just enjoying each other's company. Brittany was the first one to break the silence.
"Can I ask you something?" the blonde asked lovingly drawing small circles in her girlfriend's back.
Santana lifted her head from Brittany's chest and looked at her giving her the green light.
"Why are you so worried about the cheerleading championship? I know it's not because of Coach Sylvester" Brittany stated cupping Santana´s face with her hands.
Santana sighed and pushed herself up so she was resting on her elbows still on top of the blonde.
"Honey…"
"Tell me!"
"It's just, it's silly!"
"Santana if it is bothering you it's not silly"
"That's the thing Britt, it's not something that's bothering me, it's just something I… Something I'd like to accomplish"
Brittany gave her a confused look but nudged her so she'd continue.
"Okay, listen, this year has been really good, I really can't complain. After all this time I've finally found a way of feeling comfortable with myself and with who I am, I've made new friends and I've also learned to appreciate the ones that were already there for me before I knew it, and most importantly I got the girl of my dreams and nothing could be more perfect"
Brittany smiled at this and lifted her head to peck Santana on the lips. The Latina smiled and placed her hand into the blonde's warm cheek lovingly.
"The thing is, everything I've accomplished this year has been all thanks to you and the guys. Without your support I wouldn't be the person that I am, and you have no idea how much I appreciate that Brittany I promise I'm really thankful, but this, the cheerios, I've made this all by myself and, well, I know it may sound stupid but I'd like to have this as something I've done right all by myself, that I didn't let the team down or that my routine wasn't as good as Quinn's. This is my last chance to actually feel proud of something I've done actually right all by myself and feel proud about it. That's why I'm so freaked out. Not because I think you girls aren't good enough because you're great, but to let you down as you captain and not accomplish anything before we graduate"
Santana sighed feeling a little silly about what she just said and hid her face in her girlfriend's chest.
"Baby…" Brittany tried caressing the Latina's hair.
Santana looked at Brittany with a shy expression and relaxed a little when she noticed her girlfriend's grin.
"I don't think it's silly at all"
"You don't?"
"Of course not honey! I totally understand, but you should know that everything you just said, you should give yourself a little more credit I mean, none of it would have happened if you wouldn't have been willing to cooperate"
"I know sweetie" she said burying her face on the crook of Brittany's face "I'd just like to do something I can accomplish all by myself"
Brittany turned her face and kissed Santana right on the lips "Don't worry baby, we got this, remember our captain is badass"
Santana smirked and scrunched her nose when Brittany pecked it.
"But you should know, you've already accomplished something"
Santana tilted her head in confusion.
Brittany grinned and pecked her nose again before speaking "You've changed my whole life Santana, and you did that the moment we met in that pond eleven years ago and told me I was the smartest person you've ever met because you thought it was amazing how I got to make the ducks do whatever I asked them to"
Santana smiled at the memory and rested her chin on Brittany's shoulder looking at her lovingly.
"You never thought I was weird, you never thought I was stupid, you always saw me as the unique girl with and intelligence beyond average that made me so smart that that is the reason why not everyone gets me the way you do"
Santana's grin grew wider and Brittany turned herself so she could lay on her side and face the Latina.
"You've always been patient with me, so kind and sweet, the way you look at me as I'm the most beautiful thing, the way your voice softens whenever you talk to me and the way you murder with your eyes anyone that messes with me, it just drives me crazy and make my days, because I find myself lucky to have someone like you that cares and believes in me so much. When Artie called me stupid I remember you came here and gave me one thousand three hundred and seventy five reasons why he was wrong and you could have went on if I wouldn't have stopped you to make you have sex with me. You give me a reason to keep going on with my life Santana, because you've made me realize I'm special and I shouldn't care about what everyone says about me. You've teach me to prove them wrong, so I've said you've accomplished that too, you've made me happy, and you keep doing it everyday"
Santana smiled and her eyes were glistening looking at the blonde. She took her hands with her own and kissed them sweetly.
"Thank you Brittany?"
The blonde tilted her head in confusion "What for?"
Santana leaned closer and placed a quick kiss on the blonde's lips "For letting me love you"
Brittany smiled and brought their lips together once more, this time longer for a not so innocent kiss "Thank you, for loving me"
Three days later…
"Michelle! You're doing it wrong!"
"Don't mock me bitch, you keep making me lose balance"
"Well maybe if you weren't so fat I wouldn't keep trembling every time you step your enormous persona on me!"
"Alice! Michelle! That's enough! You're both ruining it! What the hell is going on! You guys were doing just fine last week!"
"I'm sorry Santana but there's just too much pressure"
"We've been practicing day and night this freaking routine. Maybe we're just a little tired"
Santana looked around for the rest of the squad. Either they were all lying on the floor or on top of each other. The Latina sighed.
"All right guys! Let's just do it complete one more time and we can call it a day"
"Ugh, you're the best Santana" one of the cheerios said.
"Everyone, positions!"
The first three quarters of the dance went well, but by the time they got to the flips, Brittany slipped crashing against four other cheerios that fall into the floor like domino's and managed to crash the pyramid behind them as well.
Santana rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Nice one Einstein! Now we'll have to do it again!" Michelle told Brittany bitterly.
"Sorry" the blonde said shyly "I don't feel o good"
"We're sorry Santana" Alice said "It wasn't our fault" she said glaring at Brittany with a not so gracious look "Please don't make us do it again"
Santana sighed "No, no, you guys can go, and don't worry about the stuff, I'll clean up"
All the girls cheered and stormed out of the room except for the Latina and the blonde who kept lying on the floor.
"I'm sorry baby"
Santana walked towards her and took a sit next to her "Don't apologize Britt, it's not your fault that Coach Sylvester made you join the practice. I know you still feel a little dizzy"
Brittany smiled and leaned on the floor resting her head on her girlfriend's lap.
"I'm exhausted" she mumbled against the Latina's leg.
"Yeah tell me about it"
"I don't know what went wrong today, we we're doing great just a week ago"
"I think we're just pretty tired. We're over-practicing and although I don't agree with it there's nothing I can do"
Brittany pursed her lips and turned around to look up at her girlfriend "Well actually, you could wait until Coach Sylvester leaves and call it a day"
Santana smirked and look down at the blonde.
Brittany smiled as well "What? It could work you know!"
Santana chuckled and kissed the blonde's temple "Of course it will work beautiful! You're a genius!"
Saturday night…
"You girls were amazing" Quinn said.
"I must say Santana, that routine was quite entertaining. I didn't know you could dance like that, and they way they threw you into the air, you looks so light"
"Are you calling me fat Gayberry?"
"What? No! No that's not what I meant of course! I meant that I never thought Brittany could lift you with so much ease! It looked so effortless-"
"So you're calling my girlfriend weak?"
"Ugh! Why do you make it so hard to give you a compliment!"
"Because your compliments Berry always have some sort of hidden message"
"Fine! You girls were awesome. Happy?"
"Very good hobbit! You're getting better with human words!"
"Come on guys, knock it off. We're here to celebrate remember? Thank you Rachel, and baby we wouldn't have won if it weren't for you awesome routine" Brittany said leaning over Santana to suck her earlobe.
"Oookay remember to keep things PG-13 if you don't mind"
"Jealous much Fabray?" Santana asked teasingly before nibbling at her girlfriend's bottom lip.
"Oh baby, I don't mind at all"
"No one asked you Puckerman"
"Come on guys! The bar is open!" Finn said.
"All right children! Let's get wasted! Maybe some of us will get lucky and end up having a threesome" Puck said glaring at Santana and Brittany.
"The only threesome you're going to be part of Noah will include Kurt and Blaine in the same bed"
"Yuck! Quinn! Not cool" Puck exclaimed with a disgust expression.
"There are no words to describe how much I love you right now Q" Santana said mockingly. Quinn winked at her friend and entered the bar.
Santana turned to her girlfriend and offered her arm "My lady?"
"Baby can we not get drunk tonight? I'm planning on rocking your world when we get back home but it won't be fun if we don't remember it"
"How can I say no to something like that?"
Next is the graduation chapter, but don't worry, the story is not nearly ending, I'll give you a hot Brittana summer, maybe I'll send them to Mexico or I don't know, any suggestions?
