One week to wedding
Brittany twirled in circles in their new apartment. They had just gotten the keys and she couldn't help but smile at the bigger living room. Santana was on the phone in their bedroom as Brittany explored. She had already been outside and down the street taken notes where the mailbox and park was. She came in to find Santana still on the phone with a client." This is going to be fun." Brittany smiled to herself. Suddenly a pair of tan arms wrapped around her waist making Brittany's smile widened." What do you think baby?" Santana asked in her ear as she rested her head on the blonde's shoulder." I still think it was made for us, I can't wait to start unpacking everything." Brittany said not liking how bare the place was at the moment." We will have everything in here soon Britt. Now let's go get lunch." Santana said as her stomach started to growl. Brittany took one more look around the empty place and then took both of Santana's hands in hers she escorted them both to the front door." Bye place we will be back soon." Brittany said looking into the apartment making Santana roll her eyes." Come on drama queen we will be back very soon and when we have all our stuff in we won't have to leave for a long time." Santana reassured Brittany who seemed to be satisfied with the answer." Ok then let's go."
"Brittany what did I tell you about eating healthy?" Kurt dramatically exclaimed rushing over to the table that the pair sat at having no clue the man was even in the area let alone in the same restaurant as them. Brittany glared at the Latina whose eyes were almost off her face at the moment. Santana had begged Brittany to come get Chinese with her even though she knew both of them were supposed to be eating according to Kurt and Rachel's crazy food plan that Santana hadn't been paying any attention to, but Brittany had been trying her best to keep away from those fatten foods that seemed to always make their way in her hands. After Santana pleaded for almost fifteen minutes Brittany gave in not expecting kurt or Rachel to be in the area so they wouldn't know but as she looked from Kurt to Rachel to finally back at her soon to be wife Brittany threw her hands up to her face covering her eyes this had to be a dream she was about to take a bite of the most delicious honey chicken in the world and now Kurt had taken her plate away.
" Trust me babe you will thank me for this. Both of you." Kurt went to take Santana's plate but instantly pulled his hand back hearing her growl." You will lose a hand pretty boy if you even dare touch my plate. We have been going along with that damn chart for the last two weeks we deserve a free day." Santana defended her actions." Santana-"Rachel started but stopped herself seeing the look in the Latina's eyes." I guess this can be the only time now. I mean it Brittany." Brittany uncovered her eyes and looked at her plate that was still hanging in the air." Really?" she asked beyond shocked right now." Kurt shrugged." It is true you gals have been really listening to the both of us and that says a lot about Satan here so why not. We shall join you two." Kurt placed Brittany's plate back where she instantly grabbed her fork and started to dig in just in case they decide to change their mind." Whoa girl, trust me we are not going to take that plate back. Just calm down and eat normally before we are heading to the hospital." Rachel said patting the blonde's back. Brittany was still hesitate but decided she could slow down." So how cool is it that we got the most beautiful venue for the wedding?" Rachel exclaimed still can't believe they really pulled that off." It was all my girl." Santana announced looking over proudly at the blonde who was looking down at her plate." That man totally loved Brittany." Kurt added." Who doesn't?" Rachel said honestly. The blonde was really the nicest and the most friendliest person she knew." Guys stop, he was just a great man." Brittany said not wanting the attention on her.
" Oh don't get embarrassed our little star. How is the reporters anyway?" kurt asked hearing how Jane went crazy with the wedding news as well as a few other reporters." It's all going good I am still going to New York for a day to talk to Good morning America." Brittany said like it was just a trip to the grocery store. Rachel gasps." You are what?" Santana laughed in her seat." Yes we both leave tomorrow around nine and we will be back on Friday before your party Rachel so don't worry." You're going to be on Good morning America?" Rachel asked again trying to wrap her mind around that." Yes she is and I am really proud." Santana said as Brittany shrugged." I have no clue why they all want to talk to me I haven't done anything recently special." Brittany said honestly." Because they love you and people want you to work with them but you won't and that makes them want you more." Kurt explained. Brittany nodded understanding." Well I am defiantly not doing anything anytime soon because my day is coming up and then our honeymoon to Hawaii will follow so they can just sit down and wait I guess." Rachel was still shocked." I would sooo miss my wedding day to be able to get where you are right now." Rachel explained still not knowing how she wasn't famous the blonde hadn't done anything but dance and she is all over magazines and YouTube videos." See that is where we are different my dear best friend." Brittany said." I would rather do what I love even if I am not famous or if anyone ever knew my name but you guys." Kurt smiled knowing how much Brittany deserved what she was getting lately.
"Come, come Brittany." A man rushed her through a door that led her to a stage where the talk hosts sat waiting for her. Brittany was dressed in a small black dress with tan heels. Her hair was up on top of her head and her makeup flawless thanks to her fiancée that she wished could come in with her instead of watch from the sidelines." Hello Brittany." The blonde woman greeted as Brittany sat down and a man helped put a microphone on." Hi everyone" Brittany smiled as she waved to one of her favorite people Robin Roberts. She couldn't believe she was here where so many stars have been before. The interview was a quick one but all congratulated the two on the marriage news though Brittany wouldn't tell them the date. Santana and her had discussed that is was nobody else's business but close friends and family. Brittany had denied rumors of her touring with Brittany spears and Rihanna. She talked about Grease and her 'fainting spell' which she reassured was just from not eating right. After the interview Brittany rushed to Santana's side." Let's go see new York." Brittany beamed not ready to leave the big city yet." You love it here." Santana stated as she watched the blonde's face glow." Yes I do and I am excited we get to see it before we get married." Let's elope." Santana blurted out causing Brittany to almost trip." What?" Brittany asked in horror." What? Is that such a bad idea?" Brittany nodded." Yes, yes it is." Brittany answered." I want me a big wedding with lots of cake not a court house ceremony." Brittany said, she was willing to compromise she had a lot with the time frame but she will not compromise her dream wedding." Calm down sweat heart I am kidding." Santana rubbed Brittany's arms up and down trying to calm the blonde's nerves. Brittany smacked the Latina in the arm." Don't do that." Brittany let out a big breath relieved Santana was not serious." I just wanted to see you freak out."Santana teased.
" Really Santana, you're supposed to love me not hurt me." Santana saw Brittany's pout." Baby I love you lots and lots and I would never hurt you I was just kidding come here." Santana wrapped her arms around her fiancée feeling bad she even spurred that on the poor stressed out blonde." Let's go get you a hotdog from one of those vendor people that stand outside." Brittany rolled her eyes." No thank you." Santana laughed linking their arms together as they walked out of the building into an enormous crowd. Their driver helped escort them to the suv but Brittany stopped to take some pictures and sign some autographs she really didn't believe people actually wanted her signature. Santana stood beside the blonde very proud." Are you Brittany's soon to be wife?" a young girl asked Santana who turned when she heard a question directed to her." Yes I am." Santana answered proudly." You're so lucky and so is she I can see." Santana blushed." I am very lucky thank you." She said to the young fan. "Brittany your girlfriend is beautiful." A man said bluntly staring at Santana's chest. Brittany declared this signing session over as she grabbed the brunette's arm and taken her from the man's sight." Baby what is it?" Santana asked seeing the rush in Brittany's eyes." I didn't like how he was staring at you." Brittany admitted jealous." Awe baby your cute." Santana squeezed the blonde's hand." I am yours." She whispered in her ear making Brittany calm down." I know and I don't like how they were checking out MY goods." Brittany said looking at Santana loving not thinking this life was one that she wanted." What are you thinking?" Santana asked as they got comfortable in the back seat." I don't know if I want this Santana, yes it is fun but I think I just want to be me." Brittany explained hoping Santana didn't want to try to force her but then again this was Santana the person that knew her better than she knew herself in many ways." Honey, whatever you want is fine with me. Be a big star go be a big dancer or actress I will always support you Brittany. Be my wife and make me happy. All I care about is that were together and we both are happy." Brittany leaned over placing a kiss on Santana's lips before laying her head down on her shoulder." Anyways it works both ways I can tell everyone I am married to someone that was famous or is famous." Santana joked earning a little giggle from Brittany." Of course you would say that." Brittany shot back.
The plane ride back to Columbus was very quiet, Brittany had fall asleep ten minutes into the ride and Santana was working on some work she had brought along to look at in her free time. The man that sat on the other side of Brittany kept looking at her. She had her head laying on Santana's shoulder." She your friend?" the man asked breaking the silence." She's my fiancée." Santana smiled at the older man who smiled back." She is a beauty, you both are." He complimented before turning his attention back to his book he had in his hands." Thank you." Santana said before she looked back down at her work. She knew she was very lucky to have this beautiful angel that was sleeping beside her in her life." My wife just passed away this January." The old man informed making Santana look up from her work and over at him." I am so sorry." Santana said feeling bad for him." Thanks but it wasn't your fault or anyone else's she had breast cancer. The cancer ate her up." The old man went on remembering her in her mind that time they found out until the time he laid her in the ground." She loved to sleep on my shoulder too but I didn't let her do it all the time. Wish I could change that because I would." He confessed making Santana close her case files." I am sure she knew you loved her very much." He smiled for the first time." That she did, I loved that beautiful stubborn wife that gave me fifty years of the best years of my life. Two kids five grandchildren." Santana smiled hearing how much life the man has known." You hold onto her and always tell her you love her even when your angry." He said wishing he had a second chance with his wife." I will. Brittany is the best thing in my life I have already put her and I through hell and she has always stayed by my side through everything. I owe her too much." Santana explained looking at the sleeping blonde getting lost in her beauty.
The old man listened looking down at the blonde with the Latina." She is a keeper then." He liked to hear about good relationships." Defiantly I would be nuts to let this girl out of my sight let alone not put a ring on her finger, which I totally did." Santana announced proudly taken Brittany's hand she held it up to show the man." Very good dear." He commented on the ring." Thanks. I saved up to get it for her and when I went and got it and handed the cashier the money it was like I for the first time really understood what having everything you want truly meant." The old man nodded remembering the same feeling when he picked out the ring for his girlfriend then." It's amazing to know you're not alone in this journey called life." He added. Brittany stretched a little but instantly woke when she realized she wasn't in her bed. Opening her eyes she looked for the old man on her right to Santana who was looking down at her." Are we home?" Brittany asked still very sleepy." Not yet sleepy head." Santana answered. Brittany closed her eyes for a second before she remembered the old man that was staring at her when she first opened up her eyes. He was still staring but smiling now." Hi." Brittany said sitting up knowing she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep again. "Hi."
"I don't want to walk anymore." Brittany complained seeing they weren't even next to their car." Come on complainer it isn't that much more farther." Santana laughed at how dramatic Brittany was being when it was usually her." You should have slept some more on the plane." Santana stated as she grabbed the blonde's hand." I couldn't, not with the old man smiling at me. Hey what was that about? Where you guys talking while I was sleeping?" Brittany asked remembering she wanted to ask the brunette about that earlier but didn't find the right time to do so." Yes we were talking a little while you were snoring." Brittany's eyes widened." I do not snore." She defended her self, hoping to god she was not snoring. Santana started to laugh." You should see your face right now." She teased." Hey I was not snoring." Santana shook her head." No but you sure were drooling and you can't deny that my shirt was soaked." Brittany shrugged." Just a side effect of what happens when I sleep on your shoulder." Santana didn't mind though she would take the side effect if it meant she could watch her girl sleep for many and many years." I love you Britt." Santana said just wanting to say it." I love you too Santana." Brittany said in a calmer softer voice then she had been speaking in this evening. They still had to get home and shower before going to Rachel's party but for some reason hearing Santana say that helped her to get up enough energy to help her to make it to the car without complaining. Those three words where magic to her and although she has a lot of people she says them to and a lot of people that say them to her every day, no body saying that can affect her like when Santana says them to her.
