I do apologize for the delay. I know I'm doing that a lot. Apologizing that is. I'm working on this, Helpless which is a Faberry story. And I'm also working on a new Faberry story that will not be posted until it's done. I'm currently on chapter 5 of that story. Chapter length for the new story is much longer than this.
Not sure when the next update will come. I had surgery about two weeks ago and I'm still recovering from that.
Also, thank you to Whippet16 for the idea at the end. I went through and reread some of the reviews looking for a little bit of inspiration.
I Got You Babe
Chapter 21
"San, I really want that." Brittany tugged her date to a stop before pointing to something at a game booth.
The shorter girl smirked. "A duck?"
"But San, I love ducks! It's so cute, I want it so much."
Santana pulled her hand away from Brittany's and reached into her pocket for some money. She was determined to get her date the duck. She handed the money to the game operator before picking up one of the rifles.
Brittany helped herself to one of the seats beside the Latina and watched her intently. She'd never seen anything more beautiful than the determination in Santana's eyes. She watched each of the muscles in her arms flex with every pull of the trigger.
"We have a winner!" The man running the booth yelled right after the last shot rang out. "Pick any from the third row." He pointed up to the large stuffed animals.
Santana glanced at Brittany before answering him. "The blue duck. Right there." She couldn't wipe the smile off her face the minute the blonde wrapped her arms around her neck from behind.
"Thank you!" Brittany bounced up and down when she had the duck in her arms. "It's so cute! I love it." She didn't miss a beat in kissing Santana softly. "I love it so much!" She giggled, her arms remaining clutched around the duck's neck.
The Latina felt so proud of herself. In such a short period of time she felt the whole atmosphere of the date shift. Her heart fluttered when her eyes locked briefly with Brittany's. "Let's get something to eat. I'm half starved." She hooked her arm with Brittany's and started walking toward a food stand.
"Hey San?"
Santana looked up into Brittany's eyes yet again, and in that moment she felt an entirely new feeling wash over her body. "What's up?"
Brittany closed the distance between them to give the Latina a lingering kiss. "Thank you." Her arms wrapped securely around the shorter girl's waist and drew her in for a longer, more loving kiss.
"You do realize there are children here. Save your immoral behavior for your home." A random voice broke the pair apart.
Santana pulled out of Brittany's arms and approached the woman. "Listen here lady. Last time I checked this is a free country. Which means if I want to make out with my girlfriend while we're enjoying our day at the carnival then I'm going to. So, if it bothers you so much, then don't look."
The woman quirked an eyebrow at the teen. "You've got quite a smart mouth on you young lady."
"If you don't get to steppin' then you'll find out what else I've got Puta." The older woman shook her head before giving Brittany and Santana a disgusted look and walking away. "That's what I thought."
Brittany watched in awe of the exchange. Everything past 'girlfriend' was lost to the blonde. Her arms wrapped tightly around the duck's neck as a smile grew on her face. "Girlfriend?" She questioned when Santana turned around to face her.
The Latina blushed deeply. She felt the steady heat covering both of her cheeks and creeping down to cover her neck. She hadn't realized that word had left her lips until Brittany pointed it out. The strange woman had her so angry with her judgmental words. "I um… well, only if you want to be."
Brittany once again wrapped her arms around Santana's waist. "I'd love to be your girlfriend Santana."
The brunette smiled brightly at her new girlfriend. "Well, now that that's settled. Let's go get some food."
"Can we get funnel cake?" Brittany laced her fingers with those of the shorter girl's and leaned into her side.
"Of course we can get funnel cake."
Santana smiled as she looked over at her girlfriend. The smile on her lips grew even wider at the thought alone. Brittany was sound asleep in the passenger seat. Her face was nuzzled into the neck of the stuffed duck in her arms. Santana had never seen anything more adorable in her life. She hated having to ruin the moment.
"Hey Britt?" The Latina rested her hand on Brittany's knee and shook her gently. "Brittany?" She called out again just a little bit louder. She wanted to make sure Brittany was awake before she got off the highway. She smiled when the blonde began to stir. "Morning sleeping beauty."
"Morning." She sat up completely then frowned. "It's not morning."
Santana chuckled softly. "It's really late, do you just wanna crash with me tonight? My parents won't care."
Brittany yawned before nodding. "That sounds good. I'm like, super tired."
"I noticed that. You've been sleeping for over an hour now." The Latina pulled off the highway and headed toward her own house.
The last ten minutes of their trip was silent. "Can we go to sleep now?"
Santana laughed softly as she parked in her driveway. "Of course Britt." Santana shut the vehicle off before she climbed out. Truth be told, it was after midnight and she was exhausted. A mixture of the long drive, all day at the carnival, and the sun beating down on them made her want nothing more than her bed. "What are you doing?" Santana shivered when Brittany pressed against her back and started to kiss her neck.
"Kissing you."
Brittany spun Santana around and pinned her body against the door. The impact pushed the already unlocked front door open just as their lips met in a passionate kiss.
"Mija you're – oh my." Maria spoke before giggling softly at how quickly the two teens pulled apart. "It's so nice to see you again Brittany." Maria couldn't keep from smiling at their sheer embarrassment.
"Hi mami. Um…" Santana blindly reached for Brittany's hand all while the blonde waved at Maria. "B's gonna stay the night. That cool?"
"Of course it is. Brittany's always welcome here." She smirked again. "Door stays open though."
"Yea. Come on Britt." Santana tugged the blonde up the steps and into her room. "That was horrible."
Brittany burst into laughter the minute she plopped down on Santana's bed. "She was waiting for you."
Santana bit her bottom lip to try and hide her own smile. Sure the Latina had been embarrassed plenty of times before, but never quite to the same degree. "I'm sure I've got an extra tank top and shorts for you, if you'd like."
The blonde didn't hesitate in pulling off her shirt and shorts, "sounds awesome." She took the clothing she was offered and put it on, the whole time enjoying the fact that Santana's eyes never left her body. "Like what you see?"
The brunette quickly diverted her eyes before turning her back to change her clothing.
Once they were both changed they crawled into bed, facing each other. Neither of them spoke a word, but rather, just enjoyed each other's company until sleep overtook them.
As always, I'd like to remind everybody that ideas are ALWAYS welcome. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do about Chris and Rowan. Also, what about the Faberry romance?
All ideas welcome
Review for me :D
