Brittany heard the alarm buzzing but didn't move. She felt Santana shift slightly in her arms but that was only to move a little closer. Brittany opened her eyes slowly, blinking from the early morning sun that was coming in through the windows. Once her eyes were adjusted, she could clearly see Santana sleeping soundly beside her.
She couldn't help smile waking up to the sight of Santana. Her dark hair was a bit of a tangled mess and she didn't have on any make-up or fancy clothes other then a pair of shorts and an old t-shirt but somehow she still managed to look beautiful. Brittany reached over and pushed a few strands of Santana's hair behind her ear. The small touch was just enough to make the Latina stir.
"Britt" Santana whispered sleepily, "Shut off the alarm, it's annoying".
Brittany let out a small laugh and leaned over her to turn off the alarm.
"We have to get up" Brittany said, "We have to go to rehearsals".
Santana opened her eyes and Brittany watch in amusement as she blinked from the morning sun just as she had done.
"Oh yeah, I forgot" Santana said rubbing her eyes.
"You forgot about the world wide tour you are on right now?" Brittany asked. Santana could hear the smile in her voice and couldn't help but smile a little herself,
"You distracted me" Santana said, "It's your fault!"
"Oh so it's my fault that we are going to late to sound check?" Brittany asked trying to hide her amusement but failing miserably.
"Yes" Santana wrapping her arms around Brittany and pulling her against her, "If anyone asks, I'm telling them that you held me down and forced me to stay in bed so that we could get our cuddle on"
"Just be sure to say it in front of the cameras" Brittany said. Instantly the mood in the room changed as reality came flooding back to them
"Sorry, bad joke" Brittany said, the smile no longer on her face.
"No, it's fine" Santana said forcing herself to keep smiling, "really".
Brittany began playing with the ends of Santana's hair.
"San I'm scared" Brittany said, "What if something bad happens?"
"Nothing bad is going to happen" Santana said trying her best reassure Brittany.
"You don't know that" Brittany said, "What if this backfires and you lose your career because of me? I would forgive myself if that happened, you've worked so hard".
"Britt, that's not going to happen" Santana said, "I won't let that happen to me or to you, do you understand?"
Brittany nodded and pressed her forehead against Santana's and closed her eyes. She could feel Santana's warm breath against her face as she spoke.
"I'm not going to let anything bad happen to us, I promise" Santana said. Santana pressed her lips softly against Brittany's. Brittany moved to deepen the kiss and almost instantly things started getting heated. Brittany ran her hands down Santana's back to the end of her shirt and let her hands slip underneath. She slightly dug her nails into the soft skin she found, causing Santana to moan into the kiss.
Brittany wrapped her leg around Santana's and rolled so that she was laying on top of Santana, pinning her to the bed.
Breaking the kiss for moment, Brittany sat up and just looked down at Santana panting underneath her.
"What about sound check?" Santana said laughing
"Fuck sound check" Brittany said and she pressed her lips hungrily against Santana's. Santana's hands found their way into Brittany's hair and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss.
Knock. Knock. Knock. "Let's go ladies! Move it, we are going to be late!" Joe said from outside in the hallway.
"Are you kidding me right now?!" Brittany said breaking the kiss.
"Perfect timing as usual" Santana said sarcastically.
"Let's go ladies, two minutes or I'm coming in!" Joe said, "Sue will have my head mounted on her office wall if we are late to these interviews today!"
"Let's just get this over with" Brittany groaned as she moved to climb off of Santana but was surprised when Santana held her in place. Before Brittany knew was happening she had been flipped over so that now Santana was on top of her. Santana brought their lips back together for one last, long kiss, putting all of her frustration and desire into it.
"We'll finish this later" Santana said, leaning down and whispering into Brittany's ear.
Brittany shivered and Santana smiled to herself, loving the effect she was having on this girl.
"Promise?" Brittany said holding out her pinky.
"Promise!" Santana said linking her pinky with Brittany's. Brittany leaned up and pressed their lips together yet again before allowing Santana to climb off of her.
Santana stared out of the window from the backseat of the car watching the buildings at they passed. Brittany was doing the same on the other side of the backseat only she had a million pieces of what was once a napkin shredded in her lap.
Brittany didn't think that she would be this nervous. She couldn't stop worrying about was going to happen. Being out to Quinn, Kurt, and a few others was one thing but letting the entire world in on their relationship? That was a completely different thing that she was not prepared for.
Santana glanced over and saw the shredded paper covering Brittany's lap. Santana took off her seat belt and moved closer to Brittany, taking her hand.
"You don't have to do this" Santana said, "I understand if you can't"
Brittany shook her head. "I'm just nervous" She said shyly, "I just...it's weird to think that the entire world will know about us".
"I know" Santana said giving Brittany's hand a gently squeeze, "But we aren't announcing it today. So please try to relax a little, you're making me nervous".
Brittany nodded and forced a small smile onto her face. Santana smiled back and rested her head on Brittany's shoulder until the car came to a stop in front of the studio. Within a few seconds Joe appeared at the window and motioned for Brittany to roll down the window. Santana squeezed Brittany's hand as she did as Joe asked.
"Ok so here is the plan from Sue" Joe said sticking his head inside the car, "A little hand holding, maybe a few touches here and there, absolutly no kissing yet. We are saving that for London next week".
"An entire week?" Santana said surprised. She was kind of hoping all of this would be over within a day or two.
"Yeah, we got to build it up, you know get people talking about it" Joe said, "Try not to shy away form the cameras but don't be too obvious". With that he opened the door and took a step back allow Brittany and Santana room to get out of the car.
Brittany turned and gave Santana a worried look as they climbed out of the car hand in hand. A few photographers were waiting outside the back door of the studio and began snapping pictures and yelling out Santana's name. Finn and David immediately came to their side and shielded them from the flashes as best they could.
Brittany pulled Santana closer to her. The only good thing about this was the fact that Brittany was basically required to be clsoe to Santana. That was a good thing considering Brittany knew that she couldn't be doing this if she wasn't allowed to be near her. At least with Santana close by, it made Brittany feel a little more at ease.
Once they were inside the building, Joe lead them down a long hallway and into a room where three men were sitting behind microphones. They stood in the back of the room while the three men laughed and cut up with one another until the small "on Air" sign behind them went dark.
"Ciao Santana" one of the men said standing from his seat and moving towards her. He handed her a headset and pulled a chair out for her to sit at a fourth microphone. Santana reluctantly pulled her hand free of Brittany's and sat down. She instantly felt small and vulnerable without feeling Brittany close to her.
After a few minutes, the man to Santana held up his hand and began counting down from five, signaling that they were going back on air. He said a a few things in Italian that Santana didn't recognize other than her own name being tossed around as the man look at her excitedly.
"I will translating the questions and your answers Miss Lopez" Said the guy to Santana's right.
"Oh, ok" She said giving him a small smile. Santana turned and glanced back at Brittany over her shoulder just to make sure that she was still there. She met those blue eyes and let out a small sigh of relief.
"Santana, everyone is very excited about the new tour" the guy said catching Santana's attention, "But everyone is talking about the hot and steamy kiss you've shared with one of your female dancers, can you tell us more about that?"
Santana's stomach instantly tied it self in knots as she forced a smile and leaned towards her microphone.
"Uh, it was just kind of a spur of the moment thing" She said nervously, "I wanted that particular number to be fun and sexy and my choreographer and lead dancer Brittany came up with this great idea and I thought it was brilliant so I just went with it"
The first man rambled on in Italian for a few minutes before Santana's translator spoke again.
"Well it definitely is sexy and has people talking" the translator said, "This is her that you brought with you is it not?"
Brittany didn't expect to be brought into this and flinched when all eyes were on her.
"Yes, that is Brittany" Santana said glancing over at her, "She is the mastermind behind most of the dancing you see during my shows".
The host looked over and Brittany and motioned for her to move towards the microphone. Brittany looked over at Joe who nodded his approval. Brittany looked at Santana who held an outstretched hand and gladly took it. Santana felt the cold, clamminess of Brittany's hand as she pulled her towards the chair. Santana pulled Brittany down partly into her lap and wrapped on arm around her waist. The radio host laughed and raised his eyebrows at the closeness of the two girls.
"Wow, the two of you seem to be rather comfortable with each other" The translator said staring at the host, "Is there a little bit of truth behind this stage kiss the world is talking about"
"We'll leave that open for debate" Santana said jokingly, causing the host to laugh once it was translated.
"Brittany, what is like working so closely with Santana Lopez and does she live up to her diva reputation?"
Brittany hesitated on answering. Her heart felt like it was pounding against her chest. She reached up with on hand and grabbed onto Santana's hand that was resting on the side of her hip.
"Uh, it's great" Brittany said nervously, "Santana isn't like what most people think, she is actually a really good person and I'm glad I have the opportunity to work with her".
"How does it feel to know that you are the envy of nearly every teenage boy in the world?" The translator said, "You get to kiss Santana Lopez, is she a good kisser? Be honest!"
Brittany and Santana both laughed and nervously. Even Joe cleared his throat when he heard the question.
"She is probably the best kisser I've ever kissed" Brittany said smiling at Santana as they intertwined their fingers together.
"Well that's about all the time we have for questions, thank you so much for stopping by Santana" The translator said on behalf of the host.
"Thanks for having me" Santana said courteously.
"And we look forward to seeing both of you at the show tonight" the translator said.
Brittany and Santana stood up from the chair that they had been sharing and moved towards the door where Joe was already waiting for them. The three men in the room looked down at Santana and Brittany's still intertwined hands and smirked and giggled into the microphones, giving them questioning looks.
Santana and Brittany followed Joe back down the long hallway towards the back where Finn and Karovsky were waiting for them.
"Hey guys" Joe said motioning towards them, "Try not to get in the way of the photographers this time ok?!"
Finn and Karovsky shared a confused look.
"Now you two" Joe said turning back to face Santana and Brittany, "That was perfect! The whole sitting in the lap thing, genius! Now let's keep that going throughout the day and we will be golden! Now Santana, I want you to put your arm around Brittany's waist, pull her real tight against you, the cameras will eat that up".
Santana pulled her hand away from Brittany's and slowly snaked it around the blonde's hip. Without even thinking Brittany moved closer to Santana until their sides were pressed against one another.
"Perfect, here we go!" Joe said spinning on heels as Karovsky and Finn opened the door for the three of them.
More photographers has shown up after hearing the news of Santana's whereabouts. Flashes were going off like crazy all around them as they stepped out into the madness.
"Stay close" Santana said tightening her grip on Brittany.
Brittany instantly wrapped her long around Santana and held on tightly as they fought to make their way through the crowd.
By the end of the afternoon, Brittany was exhausted. Small bruises covered her arms from having to fight through the same crowd of photographers that followed them around all day. Now, they were at the arena getting ready for the show.
