Brittany and Santana had settled into their condo quite nicely. All their furniture place in the right spots, photographs scattered around their new home, paintings they both loved in each and every room, it was perfect. Santana was really excited about this week because she was starting her first day in the new position she obtained with the law firm she had been working at since she arrived in New Haven. The only thing missing was something Brittany could do other then teaching kids dance. She was so incredibly excited for her girlfriend but she wanted something more out of her career and little did she know it was right around the corner.
Mike Chang had gotten back from his tour with Justin Bieber just after the accident with Quinn but he had another great opportunity around the corner and he wanted Brittany to audition. It was a new film coming up. The film was to be directed by an up and coming director Stacey Hull and it started filming in Los Angeles as of the end of the summer. Brittany wasn't sure she wanted to go because her and Santana just got the condo and were just settling in. The filming was scheduled to take four months and that meant four months away from home, away from her girlfriend.
"You have to do it" said Santana, lying on the couch watching TV.
"It's four months in L.A. babe".
"And?..."
"You don't think four months away from you and our brand new home we got only three weeks ago is too long?"
"This could be huge for you Brit. This could be your big break".
"I just don't want to leave you".
"I think I can manage four months, I seemed to manage the five years we were apart right?"
Santana sat up on the couch and smiled at her girlfriend who was standing in the doorway about to leave and meet with Mike to discuss the opportunity in detail.
"So you really think I should do this huh?"
"Yes, of course I do! I would never keep you from your dream".
"Nor would I with you".
"And that's exactly why I'll stay here in my promoted position and you'll go to L.A and shoot this movie".
"Don't get too far ahead of yourself...I haven't exactly got the role yet".
"Brit...you're amazing! How could you not get the role?"
Brittany walked over to the couch where her girlfriend was now sitting and sat down next to her. They both turned to face each other.
"If I get this I'll be gone for a while. Were not talking about a couple of weeks here were-"
"Were talking four months...we established that babe".
"And you're okay with this?"
"I'm more than okay, I'm thrilled. I know you've been waiting for something like this to come along. Teaching those kids to dance is something you've always loved doing but I think it's time to do something for yourself".
"The kids!...how can I leave those kids for four months without a teacher?!"
"I'm sure the studio can find someone to replace you for the time you're gone".
"Yeah but what if they're not good enough for them?"
"You're thinking way too much into this. Those kids will be so proud of you, they won't be thinking about how horrible the replacement dance teacher might be...they'll be thinking to themselves, "I hope Brittany's killing it out in L.A".
A silence came between them as Santana grabbed Brittany's hands and held them in hers.
"Am I even ready for this?"
"...you were born ready babe".
"You might be the best girlfriend in the whole wide world, you know that?"
"Might be?! I think I am".
They smiled at each other and then embraced. Brittany took Santana's face into her hands and placed her lips against Santana's.
"Now get going before Mike and this Stacey chick leave the restaurant".
"I love you so much".
"I love you too".
Brittany shot up, grabbed her purse from the table by the doorway, and removed her keys from the purse. Just as she opened the door Santana stopped her.
"Hey Brit..."
Brittany turned around to see her girlfriend standing by the couch.
"You're going to get it, I promise".
"I hope so".
"I'll see you when you get in".
"Bye babe".
Brittany walked out the door and locked it behind her. Inside the condo, Santana stood watching the closed door and smiled.
"Bye my Hollywood star".
