Chapter 28

I looked forward at Raye who was leading me into the house. From the love seat where Brittany was sitting you could see the 'club room'. We walked in and Raye walked over to the DJ and requested some of our favorite music. She was another person besides Brittany that shared my love for hip hop. We walked to the middle of the floor and started dancing.

Raye got a crowd around us, guys and girls. I danced with a couple of the people I know, but never closely. Raye started dancing on me jokingly and when she stopped I did the same back to her. I'm not sure how this got to where Raye and I were both being danced on by numerous other people, but I wasn't worried about it. Most of the people dancing on me were guys from school.

Next thing I knew I had some girl walking up dancing and that wasn't a problem, but then she started dancing on me, and when I say dancing on me I don't mean a little shaking I mean all out rolling and grinding into me and backing it up on me. I didn't want to be mean, but I knew that if any girl walked up and started doing that on Brittany I would be pissed.

I tried not to be rude about it. I put my hands up in the air claiming innocence and took a step back, but this girl wouldn't quit. Every step back I made she backed into me again. I heard some of the guys I know start chanting 'Go Santana' and Raye just stopped dancing, jaw dropped, and watched the 'show'. I stood frozen with my hands still up until the song was over. Raye finally grabbed the girl and spun her around to dance on her so she would get off of me. The girl tried to talk to me and give me her number but I shook her off and walked off the dance floor. I looked toward the porch where I left Brittany and everyone else sitting and they weren't out there. I looked around the room and in the corner I saw the white writing on Brittany's shirt shining under the black light. I looked at her and she looked upset.

"Brittany" I said kneeling down in front of her.

"Yes Santana?" Brittany said giving me an angry look.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing I was sitting outside with your friends when I heard my girlfriend's name being chanted, so we come in to see what was going on and I come in to see my girlfriend putting on a show with the hoe from the other school."

"Baby, she was dancing on me every time I moved she moved where I went. I'm sorry babe, don't be mad. You know you are the only person I want to dance with, but I don't want to hurt your foot."

"I'm so sick of this cast, I want it off, I want to dance with you, dancing and softball is what I do and now I can't do it, and I want to hit that girl with the crutch." She rambled crossing her arms and pouting.

I put my finger under her chin and lifted her head up to look at me. I heard Love in This Club by Usher come on. I grabbed Brittany's hand and pulled her up. Brittany had already gotten into the habit of thinking she was too good to use her crutches all the time and when she went short distances she just walked on her cast, so I decided I could at least let her dance with me once, and I loved that song.

I got her out to a less crowded part of the dance floor and pulled her in to me her arms instinctively going to my hips and I held her arms as we start to sway. I ran my fingers gently up and down her arms and sang. She locked eyes with me as I sang to her. I wanted to kiss her so badly but I wanted to hold back I loved to tease her so I got closer to her as I sang.

|Brittany's P.O.V|

Santana started singing to me as we danced and it was almost the sexiest thing I had ever seen, and she was singing about making love. Ok yeah bad thoughts bad thoughts. 'Brittany you love this girl, it's not about sex.' I didn't want to rush her so I shook those thoughts out of my head. I literally shook my head quickly and Santana looked at me with a questioning look and laughed, but never quit singing. She kept inching closer and closer, I knew she loved to tease me and always made fun of me for always being the first to give in to kissing her. I turned my head and pulled her closer that way her face wasn't in front of mine. I felt her singing and her breath on my ear and it immediately gave me chills. I let my hand wonder down her hip then ran my fingertips over her thigh and backed up. After I let my hands wonder for a while I ended up resting them on her ass. I pulled her tighter to me, I loved the feel of her body up against mine. It was really not about sex with us and I would wait as long as she wanted me to, but really all I wanted to do at that moment was take her home and make love to her, not have sex with her, really and truly make love to her. I wanted to show her how much she meant to me, how passionate about her I was, and how much I really loved her. I wanted to make her feel as amazing as she made me feel every day.

She leaned back and sang the line "might as well give me a kiss if we keep touching like this" and then bit her lip, and I couldn't help but to pull her in and kiss her passionately. She tangled her hand into my hair and further deepened the kiss. We kissed through the rest of the song, neither of us wanting to pull away. The next song came on and it was a slow one. Santana finally pulled back with her hands on my neck. She put her head to my forehead and stared deeply into my eyes.

"Ahem" I heard Raye clear her throat.

I turned to look at her.

"Sorry, but the softball girls want to talk to all of us outside." She said looking down.

Santana looked at me and gave me an apologetic look and turned to go get my crutches. "This better be good." I said my eyes never left Santana's retreating form.

|Outside|

"So, what's all this about?" Santana asked as all the girls crowd around.

"Well, we were thinking that instead of doing the normal sleep over at your house before the season starts we can do something different with the new players, like go somewhere?" One of the fellow seniors started.

"Well, where do you think we should go?" I asked still a little irritated my moment with Santana was interrupted.

"I don't know, let's go . . . oh camping, let's go camping." One of the other players yelled.

"That might be fun." Santana said wrapping her arms around me from behind.

"Ok, what do all of you think about doing it next weekend?"

I heard a bunch of agreements. "Tina and Quinn should be gone by then, I think." Santana whispered in my ear making me shiver.

"Ok, it's settled. You are going on a camping trip with me." I laughed.

|Wednesday Night|

Santana's P.O.V

I was lying in my room on the bed staring at the ceiling trying to make pictures out of the texture. Brittany and I had our first disagreement. She was having a bad day, and I told her she was just picking a fight and she even agreed. She went through my phone and saw some texts that she didn't like. It really wasn't anything. Someone said 'hey babe' and she got mad. It was just a joke. She stormed out of the house, crutches and all, which was really cute, but I don't like her being mad. I decide to send her a text.

'Hey Babe, I know ur mad but I swear it was a joke. I don't think I should have to keep explaining that 2 u, but I'm sorry. I love you. Text me later if you want.'

As soon as I hit send Quinn walked in.

"San, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure thing Q, what's up?"

"I've got something to tell you." She said sitting on the bed and playing with the hem of her shirt.

"What is it?" I asked concerned for my best friend.

"I don't want to leave. . . " She let her sentence hang.

"I don't want you to leave either. School isn't starting for another month for me, so you can still stay for a while."

"Ok, let me rephrase I don't want to leave, so I'm not going to." She said looking up.

"Ok, I never said you had to."

She looked at me and smiled. "San, I signed for an apartment while I was out with Puck yesterday. I applied for college here when you first moved and got accepted. I talked to my Dad and he said he would pay for the apartment if that's what would make me happy. He is going to call your dad about keeping an eye on me, but I'm here to stay. I don't have to leave." She had the hugest smile on her face and I was so excited. I jumped to the end of my bed and tackled her giving her a hug. I was so glad that I didn't have to lose my best friend again.

"That's so great Quinn. I'm so happy, but for selfish reasons of course." I said laughing.

"I already said bye to Tina, have you?" She asked. Even though she wasn't exactly fond of Tina, she knew how I was about her. She truly was one of the best people I knew and I really hated that she was leaving already.

"No, I have to take her to the airport soon though." I said starting to pick at the cover.

"Go spend a little time with her San. I'm going to go hang out with Puck, I'll see you later." She said kissing my forehead, getting up, and walking out the door.

I put my phone in my pocket and rolled off the bed. Quinn was right, I needed to spend time with Tina.

|Two Hours Later at the Airport|

I looked at Tina and she looked at me. They just called for her flight to leave and neither of us had moved, except for to stand up.

"San, let me see your phone." She stuck her palm out and when I put my phone in her hand she pulled hers out. She clicked through my phone and then typed something in on hers and pressed clear on mine. She handed me the phone back and put hers to her ear.

"Hey, its Tina, we are at the airport. . . Look, you're a great person, so don't fuck this up with her, and when you get a pair of heelys they better be cool. . . This is my number if you need anything; I know Santana can be a pain. . . Just stop being mad, I'm not sure why you are mad, but this is not a cute look on Santana . . . yeah ok, bye Blondie."

"Ok, did you really just call my girlfriend?"

"Yes, I did. I don't know what the problem is, but I know you moping like this isn't just for me."

"Most of it is?" I offered giving an apologetic look.

"It's ok San, I get it. She means a lot to you, and I like this one, so don't mess it up." Tina said giving a slight smile. They announced final call for the flight. "I'm going to miss you, but don't remember I said that." She said holding out her arms for a hug.

"No worries, and I won't remember you did this either." I said in her ear as I hugged her tightly. We released and she walked off toward the terminal. I was going to miss her. I felt my phone buzzing in my back pocket. I pulled it out and see 'Princess 3' I answered the phone and she apologized and explained why she was really upset. We talked it out while I was on the way back home.

|Early Saturday Morning|

It was five thirty in the morning and I was pulling into the parking lot by the softball field at school. I found Brittany's car and pulled in beside it. I got out and walked to her door. I opened it and reached for her hand. She obliged giving me her hand and pulled herself out of the car. She had officially refused to ever use her crutches again and her mom said it was fine, so I quit arguing. I pulled her close to me. We hadn't seen each other since our little tiff Tuesday night. Even though we worked it out, she had been busy with her father being back in town from marine duty, so we hadn't gotten to hang out yet. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her as close as I could get her before giving her the gentlest kiss on her lips.

"I've missed that." I whispered as I pulled back.

"Me too baby."

We walked over to where the rest of the softball girls were huddled up.

"Is everyone here?"

"Yeah, we all made it this time, shockingly." Everyone laughed. There was always someone running late, luckily that didn't happen this time and we could get on the road to the camp grounds.

"Ok, is there anyone not wanting to drive their own car or that doesn't have a ride?" I asked because I really would rather ride with Brittany or her with me if space permited it.

Three people raised their hand to my question and luckily it was just people that didn't have a ride. We sorted it out and all three of them would be riding with Brittany and me. We packed all our stuff up into the back of my car and got ready for the drive.

About an hour and a half later the whole team was pulling up at the camp grounds. We got out and everyone started unpacking their stuff. Everyone started pulling out their tents and setting up. A couple of people went back into town to get more supplies. Brittany and I decided to set up one tent because we both knew we wouldn't sleep in separate tents. We finished setting up and Brittany walked over to me.

"Hey, you want to go on a walk to the lake with me?" Brittany said tangling her fingers in mine.

"Sure babe, let me get the water bottle and we can walk. Wait, are you sure you want to do that with your foot?"

"Santana, I have been walking around everywhere else on this foot might as well go somewhere I want. Oh and grab a blanket please."

I walked over to our tent and grabbed the water bottle and a blanket. We started our walk to the lake after telling everyone we would be back in two hours.

As we were walking on the trail she grabbed my waist from behind and pulled me closer to her before using her good foot to jump on my back. I caught her and spun her around and it made her hold on tighter. I loved the feel of her body pressed up against mine.

"I love you." She whispered in my ear after she got done laughing. I let go of her legs and let her slide down. I turned around in her arms and kissed her.

"I love you too"

We finished our walk and spread the blanket down next to the lake. I sat with my knees up looking out over the water. Brittany sat in between my legs in front of me. I put my arms around her and pulled her to me placing a kiss on her cheek before resting my chin on her shoulder. We sat like this for the better part of an hour not moving just enjoying being in each other's presence.

After lying on the blanket and talking for a while we realized it was time to go back to the camp ground. We got up and headed back.

When we got back we saw the team sitting around talking. "Oh look, it's the love birds." Carmen, one of the outfielders, yelled at us.

"Suck it Carmen" I yelled jokingly at her. Everyone laughed and we sat down on a log near everyone else.

"Let's start a campfire." Brittany said clapping her hands.

"Santana, you do know you softened up our little captain here don't you?" One of the girls said.

"Yeah, what happened to our softball badass?" Another one pitched in.

"Oh, yeah, Santana took that position and then turned Brittany into the softie."

"Oh shut up, I will still make you run laps." Brittany tried to threaten.

One of the girls got up and started to make the campfire. We got out the s'mores and started talking and joking. We tried to tell scary stories and failed miserably, we played truth or dare, we played 21 questions, which was really confusing when you had this many people, and we talked about this upcoming season. We had really bonded that night.

At around two in the morning everyone finally decided that we had had enough and we all parted ways to our separate tents. Everyone's tent was a pretty good distance away from the others.

Brittany and I get in the tent and looked at our separate sleeping bags.

"Not going to work." She said unzipping mine completely as I sat down and done the same.

We zipped our sleeping bags together and got inside. I turned to my side facing her and put my arm over her waist. She looked over at me and smiled.

"You know I love that right?" I said kissing her.

"Love what?" She asked keeping that smile on her face.

"Your smile, you are so gorgeous and I'm lucky that I found someone that is not only beautiful but a really great person, you don't usually find many people like that and I'm glad I have you Brittany Pierce."

Brittany's eyes watered up as she turned on her side and pulled me in for a kiss, slow yet passionate. Neither of us wanted to break the kiss, so we didn't. Brittany got on top of me and continued to kiss me. I tangled my hand in her hair pulling her closer. She pulled back and stared at me moving to straddle my waist. She grabbed my hands with hers and puts them over my head as she leaned down to kiss me again. She held both of my hands up with one of hers as her hands wondered down to the hem of my shirt and her kisses moved down my jaw line to my neck. She pulled me to sit straight up with her and she removed my shirt capturing my lips once again and laying me back down. She started to kiss down my jaw line again but kept going kissing down my stomach and everywhere in between.

"Brittany" I moaned and she stopped. Wait, what happened? She stopped. I looked down at her and her eyes were wide. "Brittany, baby, what's wrong?" I sat up and pulled her closer to me.

"I'm so sorry Santana, I shouldn't have done that."

"What, why not? You didn't exactly see me complaining." I asked.

"No, but still this should be perfect for you, not something that happens on the ground at a camp site."

"Baby, it will be perfect with you no matter where we are. Brittany, I love you, and all I need for anything to be perfect is to have you by my side." I pulled her in for a quick kiss trying to reassure her. She put her hand up cupping my face, rubbing her thumb on my cheek.

"I love you too baby, but I really don't want it to be like this for us. I want this, trust me, I do, but I don't want it here. I want it to be as perfect as possible and not just by the requirements you threw out."

"Ok we do it your way, but will you just kiss me again?"

"Of course" She said kissing me softly.

"How about cuddling?" I asked holding her to me.

"That too, let's get some sleep." She said turning away from me and wiggling back up against me. I scooted as close to her as I could and form fit my body to hers.

"I love you" I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Santana, always and forever."
