So from the reviews and that I'm breathing happily, I'm taking a huge wonderful guess and guessing that you all loved that last chapter. :) Well I hope you like this one too. Read and Enjoy :)

Chapter 21

"No way."

"For real."

"Wow."

All different responses to the big news.

While everyone was still raving about last Friday's big win, others were raving about something else.

"Wait so she really kissed you?" Puck asked.

"Yes Puck, for hundredth time, yes." Santana said as they walked into the school.

"I can't believe it." Rachel said.

"It's totally true." Brittany said as they stood by Brittany's locker.

Brittany and Santana has been telling their friends about their time at the victory party, but it seemed like neither friend seemed believed it. Not that they thought they were lying, they just really like hearing the story. Over and over again.

"Okay okay, so how exactly did it all happen?" Puck asked.

"Yeah, cause when we left you, you could barely say two words to the girl without sounding a lovesick dork." Quinn joked.

"Fuck you." Santana said.

"Come tell us." Puck said.

"Alright fine." Santana takes a breath before staring her story. "Well…"

"So I was still sad over Artie not talking to me, so I thought maybe if I go to the victory party, it might cheer me up a little." Brittany began.

"Was that all you were hoping would happen?" Rachel teased.

"Yep"

Rachel gave her a look that said 'Who you trying to fool'

"Okay so maybe I was also secretly hoping I would run into Santana." Brittany smiled and Rachel returned it.

"Okay okay so back to the story." Rachel said with the smile still on her face.

"Okay so when I got to the party, I saw Santana with Puck and Quinn, you know together as usual." Brittany said.

"So Quinn was there?" Rachel asked.

"Um yea, why?' Brittany asked.

"So Q, where did you wonder off to anyway?" Santana asks.

"What?" Quinn asked.

"At the party, you disappeared. Where'd you go?"

"I-I told you I went to make a call." Quinn stuttered.

"Q, Karofsky saw you leave." Puck said.

"Come on Q, we're your best friends. You know you don't have to lie to us." Santana said.

Quinn knew they were right. She felt bad about lying to her friends. Come to think of it, she didn't even know why she was lying to them anyway. They already knew about her and Rachel. W-well not about her and Rachel, cause there was no her and Rachel, just the situation between them. Yea, that's right.

"Okay, so I went to see Rachel…" Quinn said

"It's just she…came by and asked how I was and helped me with a few things. She didn't stay long because she was afraid to meet my fathers even though I already told her that they didn't know yet. But it was still kind of sudden. I mean I thought there was no way she would leave a victory party just to check and see if I was okay, so I thought maybe she didn't go or whatever, that's all." Rachel explained.

"Uh huh."

"Enough about me, back to you and your awesome story." Rachel focus the attention back to Brittany.

"Um okay, so I went over to them…"

"So she comes over and of course I start babbling like an idiot…" Santana explains.

"Yeah, yea, yea, we know all that. Get to the good part." Puck said impatiently.

"Chill, P." Quinn told him.

"Anyway…"

"She's so cute when she's babbling. It was absolutely the most adorable thing I've ever seen." Brittany smiled at the thought.

"Okay what happened after Noah and Quinn left."

"Um well we started talking, but the music was to loud…"

"Who the fuck turned the music so damn loud?" Santana asked.

"Sorry bout that, I thought if the music was loud, Brittany wouldn't hear you sound like you just discovered how to talk to women for the first time." Puck said.

"Whatever. So anyway I told her we could go outside so we could talk." Santana started. "I saw she didn't have a jacket so I grabbed mine incase she might've wanted it. Cause it was pretty cold outside and did you see what she was wearing."

"See I told you you should've dress warmer." Rachel chastised Brittany.

"I know, but you have to admit I was hot." Brittany smirks.

"Yes, yes you were." Rachel said. Brittany smiled. Rachel smiled too and playfully nudged her. "Okay what happened after that?"

"So I gave her my jacket…"

"Then she gave me her jacket. I mean not only did she give me her jacket, she wrapped it around my shoulders." Brittany smiled.

"That's so cute." Rachel cooed.

"I know." Brittany smiled. "Then I got worried about her cause she didn't have a jacket, only a long sleeve shirt…"

"So I told her about you two freak show Eskimos…" Santana pointed to both Puck and Quinn, who just smirks. "…and your insane love and pleasure for the cold and how cause of hang out with you weirdoes, it's rubbed off on me." Santana said.

"I always wondered why I've never really seen Quinn with a jacket on during the winter." Rachel said.

"How do you know Quinn doesn't wear jackets during the winter?" Brittany asked curious.

"No reason." Rachel responded quickly. "Continue."

"Okay…well after I took the jacket, we just sat there in the quiet. Well as quiet as it could get with a loud house party going on behind us. Then she asked me if I was okay…"

"She told me she was still upset over robo geek not talking to her, so I told her like it was. Personally I thought he was an idiot." Santana said.

"Amen to that." Puck said and Quinn nods in agreement.

"She actually said that?" Rachel asked surprised.

"Yeah. I was pretty surprised at how blunt and straight forward she was." Brittany said.

"Well she is Santana Lopez, elegantly from Lima Heights Adjacent. She is pretty known for her blunt honesty." Rachel said.

"True, but I was still a little shocked, but she was sweet about it." A pause. "She said she couldn't see how anyone could ever go without talking to me or being mad at me for to long. And that she wishes she could talk to me without, you know babbling."

"Whoa S, you really said that?" Puck asked.

"Yeah." Santana replied confused why Puck would ask her that.

"Dude, can you say corny." Puck teased.

"What?"

"Really S, I thought you'd have a little more play than that." Puck said

"Shut up. I do, okay. It's just, with it's . I don't know…she's special." Santana said.

"Awww" Quinn and Puck teased with a faux dreamy smile.

"Whatever. And it doesn't matter what you think Puck cause according Brittany, she thinks my babbling is cute." (and so does the people whose reading this. ;))

"Owww" Quinn laughed pointing in Pucks face.

Puck snacks her hand away.

"Yeah, yeah and she thinks you talking in complete sentences and not running over your words is hot, right?"

"Yep" Santana smirks.

"I bet she melted when you said that didn't she?" Rachel smirks.

"Yeah, if she did, she didn't really show it." Brittany laughs.

"So what happened next?"

"Well after I said that it got quiet again…"

"Silence was a bitch, so I asked her to dance." Santana said.

"But then I told her that there was no music and I didn't want her to open the door cause I kind of liked that we were in like our own world outside the party. It was like our own little bubble." Brittany said. "So then she suggested we make our own music. That we were in glee club so it kind of made sense."

Rachel looked surprised and a little satisfied with the Latina's answer, and she made a mental note to pick Santana's brain about future songs for glee.

"You know once Rachel hears you suggested singing, she's gonna hunt you down and ask you about possible future glee songs, right?" Quinn half joked half serious.

"Oh god."

"So did she sing to you?" Rachel asked.

"Yes. Oh my god she sung the most beautiful song."

"So what did you sing?" Puck asked

"Single by Neyo."

"Isn't it ironic how amazingly accurate that song was to your situation?" Quinn commented. "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Nah, that's just the first song that popped in my head."

"Okay."

"So what happened next?" Puck asked.

"She kissed me." Brittany beamed.

"I kissed her." Santana smiled her Santana-Lopez-lovesick-for-Brittany-Pierce goofy smile.

"So how did it feel?" A pause. "When she kissed you?" Rachel asked.

"Like nothing I ever felt before. Better than I've ever had with Artie or anybody for that matter. It just felt special." Brittany smiled.

"I've kissed a lot of girls. I mean you guys know that." Santana said. Puck and Quinn nodded. "But with Brittany. It was like…magic." Santana said. "I know this may said corny to you guys, but the spark between us could probably light a whole freakin' town of Christmastrees."

"Awww"

"S and Britt sitting in a tree…" Puck sung.

"N.A.S.T.E.E.E, yall nastee…" Quinn joined in.

"Shut up." Santana laughed at her friends.

"So Rachel what did feel like when you kissed Quinn?" Brittany asked.

"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked confused at the sudden question.

"Well I just told you how it felt to kiss San, but you never told me how it felt to kiss Quinn." Brittany told her.

"It…um…I don't remember." Rachel said. "I was drunk, so I don't remember. It doesn't matter anyway. It shouldn't have happened, and I don't plan on letting it happen again."

"Oh…kay."

"So Q, had it feel to kiss the Munchkin?" Santana asked suddenly.

Quinn sighed. "Rachel"

"Whatever."

"Why?" Quinn asked.

"Just wanna know." Santana shrugs. "Was it good?"

Quinn thought about it. "I…don't remember. We were drunk, so…yeah I don't remember." she lied. She did remember how it felt to kiss Rachel. It was probably the best kiss Quinn has ever had, but she know two things. One, that it would never happen again, and two, she wasn't even sure if she liked Rachel that way and vice versa. Sure she thought she was very pretty, but she couldn't see herself tied down right now. And Rachel was way to good for her.

"I told her I wished she was my girlfriend." Brittany said suddenly.

"What?" Rachel asked.

"I said I told her I wished she was my girlfriend." Brittany repeated.

"Wait you what?" Rachel asked again. She didn't remember hearing this part of the story.

"I told her that I wished she was my girlfriend." Brittany repeated for the third time. "I couldn't help Rach. She's been so nice and sweet to me. She comfort me after my fight with Artie. She sung me that beautiful song. And kiss was just the icing on the cake."

"Wow Brit. I don't…I don't know what to say." Rachel said.

"She said it could happen. That we could be together if I wanted us to." Brittany said.

"Wow" was all Rachel could say. "So are you two together or…?"

Brittany's smile dropped.

"No" Brittany shook her head.

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm still with Artie."

"Oh"

"I'm still with Artie." Brittany repeated, more to herself than Rachel. "She said she would wait Rachel." tears began to fill in Brittany's eyes.

"Wait for what, sweetie?" Rachel asked as she wiped the tears from Brittany's eyes.

"For me, Rach…She said she'd wait for me to break up with Artie when I feel it's right." A pause. "Then I asked her what if it's a long wait, and you know what she said?"

Rachel shook her head. "No sweetie, what?"

"She said I was worth it. I'm worth it Rachel." Brittany said tears streaming down her face.

"Oh Brittany." Rachel took the taller girl in her arms. "You're in love with her aren't you." it wasn't a question and Rachel was sure she already knew the answer, feeling Brittany nod against her shoulder conformed her suspicion.

"You're in love with her aren't?" Quinn asked.

Santana looked at her. She never thought of it like that. Sure she knew she liked Brittany. That was a guaranty. I mean she joined Cheerios just so she could be closer to the girl. But was it love? As she thought about it, she thought about how she felt about Brittany. Like really thought about. She thought about how she felt when she was around her and how she felt when she talked to her…well babbled to her. Then she thought about that kiss. The kiss that could bring world peace in Santana's opinion. Santana knew she was falling hard for the tall blonde, but that kiss just took the cake.

Realizing this, Santana knew her answer.

"Yeah, I am." A pause. "I love her." Santana said with a smile.

Quinn and Puck looked at her.

"So what happened after that?" Puck asked wanting to hear the rest of the story.

"Um after that we left the party. I took her home. We chilled there for a while, then I left." Santana replied.

"When you say chilled, you mean…?" Quinn asked.

"Watched a few movies. Talked a little."

"So no kissing?" Puck asked

"Nope. I told her we'd lay off for a while, at least until she's decides what she wants. So just friends for now. No kissing. Maybe a little cuddling but that's it."

"What? Santana Lopez cuddles?" Puck teased.

"Shut up." Santana laughed. "And yeah Santana Lopez does cuddle. When it comes to the right girl? Yeah, you bet."

They were quiet for a while.

"S, so you're sure she's worth it?" Puck asked.

"There's no doubt in my mind that she's worth it."

"What if she doesn't chose you?" Puck asked

"If she doesn't chose me. It would suck, no doubt about that. And I'll be hurt, but in the end I'd still want to be friends with her. It would be a little hard at first, but I would want that. Her friendship is to precious to lose. But we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it. Let's just hope we don't come to the bridge." Santana ended with a joke.

"But you're absolutely sure?"

"I am 100 percent sure she's worth every minute I have to wait for her." Santana said confidently.

"Wow S, you've got it bad." Puck chuckled and patted Santana on the shoulder. "But I'm proud of you. At least someone in our group of misfit players is not afraid to be tied down." he said as they walked to Santana locker.

After a few minutes, the tears stopped and Brittany pulled herself out of Rachel's embrace.

"You okay?" Rachel asked, moved a piece of hair that fell in Brittany's face behind her ear.

Brittany nods. "Yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks Rach."

"No problem Britt. I'm here for you. Just like always. And don't worry you'll make the right decision. Sooner than you think." Rachel squeezed her arm softly.

"Thanks Rach." Brittany said. Rachel gave her a small nod.

"Hey Brittany." A small voice come from behind them.

Brittany turned around.

"Hey Artie."

"Listen can we talk?" Artie asked.

"Yeah you guys talk. I'm headed to the auditorium anyway. I'll see you later, Britt." Rachel.

"See ya Rach." Brittany said as Rachel walked away from them. Brittany turned her attention back to Artie. "So what did you want to talk about?" she asked in a small voice.

"Look I'm sorry, okay. I was a jerk to you all week. And I'm really sorry. Can you please please forgive me." He paused. "I love you."

Brittany was stunned. Artie has never said those words to her. She would tell him she loved him and all he'd say back was "yeah you too babe."

Now Brittany was stuck. On one hand she had Artie, her boyfriend and she loved him. Yeah he's been a jerk to her as lot as of lately, but she still loved him. But then there was Santana. The sweetest, most caring and gentle person she had ever met. Most people might call her a bitch, but to Brittany she wasn't. She was far from it.

She really wanted to be with Santana. She knew and Santana knew. So why was it so hard for her to break up Artie. Why was she so afraid to break up with him? Why wouldn't she go after what she wanted? So many questions. And she knows Santana said she would wait for her and that she was worth it, but she didn't want to take advantage of that. What if she gets tired of waiting and moves on? Brittany would lose her chance, yet still she couldn't break up with Artie. Especially after what he just said to her. That he loved her. What was she going to do now? She was stuck.

"So do you really think she'll break up with Irobot?" Puck asked.

"I don't know. Maybe not now, but later. Maybe." Santana said. "But she's still worth the wait."

"Okay S. But you do know the wait won't be easy, right?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah. I know." Santana said. She knew that wait wouldn't be easy. It was going to be hard as hell watching Brittany and Artie all loved up all the time. Even the thought of that made her grimace, but she knew that in the end it would all be worth it. It had to be.

"Okay, and no being the woman on the side, S." Quinn said.

"Hell no." Santana said sounding a little offended. "You think I'd belittle myself like that?"

"For Brittany…um yeah just a bit." Puck joked.

Santana wanted to be mad at her best friends for assuming the worst of her, but in this sad twisted reality called her life, she knew that they were right. She would do that for Brittany. But she knew Brittany would never let her do that. She was to kind hearted and nice and cared about her to much to do that.

"Okay maybe, but Britt would never do that to me or herself, so I think I'm safe from that. Thank you." Santana said.

"Alright S." Quinn said.

"If you're sure." Puck said.

"I'm sure." Santana said.

"Alright, well I'll see you guys later. Coach Beiste wants to talk to me about something." Quinn said.

"Yea, I gotta run too. Got a really 'important' appointment in the janitors closet if you know what I mean." Puck smirks wiggling his eyebrows.

"Eww. Puck." Santana said.

"Pineapples." Quinn said

Puck laughed as he and Quinn jogged off in different directions.

Santana was left at her locker. Movement from the side of her caught her attention. She turned and saw Brittany, whose locker was about seven lockers down from hers, and Artie. Brittany was crouched down talking to him. She was so close.

Santana felt her heart racing. She hoped so much that Brittany was breaking up him, but she knew that that was not likely, at least not yet. It was hard to see them like that, all loved up, and especially after Friday, it was painful to watch. But she knew she'd have to endure it for now. It would all be worth it in the end, it's what she kept telling herself.

When she saw Brittany give Artie a peck on the lips, she almost died. 'And the torture begins.' Santana thought as she closed her locker and headed to her first class of the day.
