New York.

'' Britt hurry up honey! You have to be there in fifteen minutes!'' Susan calls out as the adults and the three other teens wait for the tall blonde girl.

Brittany sighs putting the finishing touches to her make-up and adjusts her blazer, she opens the bathroom door after spraying hair spray in her hair and walks out nervously biting her lip. '' Is this okay?''

Susan walks over to her daughter as she hears everyone gasp softly and adjusts the collar of her blazer, she nods her head and kisses her forehead. She pulls back and chuckles softly. '' You look beautiful honey, the new piercing also makes you look quite badass.''

'' She was already badass before piercing her eyebrow mom.'' Heather comments laughing softly, she looks at her sister and smiles. '' You look beautiful sis.''

Santana walks over to her girlfriend as she hears everyone agree with Heather and leans up on her tiptoes kissing her cheek softly husking out. '' You look fucking hot and beautiful mi amor.''

Maribel claps in her hands as she sees the time and chuckles. '' Alright kids off you go! We want to start our date nights too and the four of you have places to be!'' She walks over to Brittany and hugs her. '' Good luck at the expo, let us know how it was B.''

Brittany nods her head and hugs the adults, she turns to her girlfriend and holds out her phone and wallet chuckling softly. '' I won't take my bag with me, can you put this in your purse babe?''

Santana laughs nodding her head and takes the two items from her, she puts them in her purse and hugs her parents. '' See you tomorrow.''

After saying goodbye to them Brittany intertwines her hands with her girlfriends and follows her sister and Naya out of the room, after saying goodbye to them in front of the hotel Brittany jumps into the cab she called and intertwines her hands with her girlfriends again as she slides in after her.

After telling the driver the address she turns to her girlfriend and bites her lip. '' You okay baby?''

Santana runs her thumb over her girlfriends hand as she feels her tremble and lifts it up to her mouth kissing the back of her hand softly. '' I have to ask you that mi amor, nervous?''

'' A little, what if they hate it?''

'' They won't baby you are really talented, only a fool would dislike paintings, drawings and portraits so beautiful.'' She looks up at her girlfriend and smiles slightly as she sees her raise her pierced eyebrow. '' You have to stop doing that mi amor, seriously that piercing makes you ten times hotter and I didn't even know that would be possible.''

'' It's not swollen?''

Santana shakes her head and smiles. '' Not anymore baby, you can see that it's still healing but it's not swollen.'' She kisses her cheek and chuckles softly. '' I still can't believe you immediately set the piercing after our conversation on your birthday.''

Brittany shrugs her shoulders and chuckles. '' You told me that you thought an eyebrow piercing would fit me more than a nose ring, so I called the shop the day after and they had an appointment for that day.''

'' Well I was right.'' Santana mumbles softly smiling, Brittany chuckles and looks up as the cab stops. She bites her lip as she sees that they stand in front of the building where the expo is held and follows her girlfriend out of the car after paying the driver, Santana turns to her girlfriend and takes her hand in her own. '' Stop thinking so bad about all of this baby, you are amazing and the people inside.'' She mentions to the building behind her and smiles. '' Will think the same!''

Brittany slowly nods her head and sighs softly, she pulls her closer and kisses her softly. '' Thank you for being here with me baby, and I know that I didn't say it back at the hotel but you look gorgeous.'' She mumbles as she pulls out of the kiss, she glances down at her girlfriends skin tight red dress and smiles. '' You will be the only piece of art, I will have my eyes for tonight.''

Santana blushes slightly and kisses her cheek. '' Come on mi amor, let's go inside we can look at other works before the selling starts.''

Brittany nods her head and follows her as she tugs on her hand, after showing the security their passes they walk into the building and Brittany looks around gasping softly as she sees all the stands with different art projects. '' Whoa.''

Santana follows her girlfriend around smiling at the amazed expression on her face and stops at different stands with her to make small talk to other artists, she frowns slightly as some girls flirt with her girlfriend but relaxes slightly as Brittany introduces her as her girlfriend.

After walking around and looking at different types of art for almost an hour, Brittany walks to her stand and starts organizing the portraits, paintings and drawings she made the last week and before that.

She turns to her girlfriend after putting everything in place and bites her lip. '' Is it okay like this?'' Santana nods her head looking at everything and her eyes fall on one portrait, she points at it and raises an eyebrow.

'' When did you paint that?''

Brittany turns to look at the portrait she is pointing at and smiles as she sees a portrait she made of the football team during practice with the cheerios in the background. '' During the practice I was sitting out because of my shoulder, two weeks ago I think.''

'' That is really amazing baby.'' Santana mumbles softly walking up to her, she wraps her arms around her waist and leans up on her tip toes kissing her cheek. '' People will love it.''

She pulls back as people start walking around and steps back as she sees a group walking towards her girlfriend, she sits down on the chair Brittany brought for her and smiles watching her talk to them explaining some of her works.

She takes a picture of her girlfriend as she watches her talk animatedly about her paintings to a group of girls and rolls her eyes as they all start flirting with her, she looks away as one of the girls tries to touch her and bites her lip mumbling. '' Even after she told them that she is happily taken they try.''

She looks down at her phone trusting her girlfriend and sends the picture into the group chat with their sisters and parents.

Her paintings are one of the favorites here, she already sold a few and a lot of groups are coming over to ask her about her work. She is really enjoying herself.

'' Hey baby.'' Santana glances up as she feels hands on her shoulders and smiles a small smile as her girlfriend looks down at her with a big smile.

'' Hey.''

'' What's wrong?'' Brittany asks frowning hearing the annoyed undertone, Santana shrugs her shoulders and sighs.

'' Nothing baby.''

Brittany tilts her head back up as she looks down and locks eyes with her girlfriend. '' Tell me baby.''

Santana shakes her head and bites her lip. '' Just leave it Britt-Britt.'' Brittany's eyebrows raise to her hairline as her girlfriend snaps at her and looks up sighing as another group stops at her stand, she looks down at her girlfriend and bites her lip.

'' We will talk later.''

Santana silently curses herself as she watches her girlfriend walk to the group and pulls out her phone, she opens her sisters chat as she sees that she texted her and bites her lip reading it.

I am sure Snixx is about to show up because of the girls flirting with B, but just remember that she is going home with you San. That girl loves you and worships the ground you walk on, don't flip out just because some barbies think they have a chance with her.

She bites her lip and types out an answer.

I just snapped at her because it annoys the shit out of me that wherever we go, some chick hits on her. I am just scared to lose her sis.

She keeps looking at her phone as she sees that her sister immediately reads her answer and bites her lip, she glances at her girlfriend and sees her still talking to the same group but now with tension in her body. She turns back to her phone as she feels it buzz and sighs as she reads her sisters answer.

You need to get your shit together hermana, I can understand that you are scared but that gives you no right to snap at her. It's not like she want people hitting on her, just talk with her I am sure you know what she will tell you.

Santana rolls her eyes and sighs.

Yeah I know sis and I will talk to her if she wants, she is currently pissed and I can't blame her. I think we just reached or first real discussion or fight. Put you phone away and enjoy your date night, we will talk later. Love you.

She puts her phone on silent and slips it back in her purse, she looks at her girlfriend and sees her change the position of her works. Brittany looks over feeling her girlfriends eyes on her and forces a smile. '' We can go soon.''

Santana shakes her head and sighs. '' No we can stay babe, you already sold so much I am sure more people are interested.''

Brittany nods her head and turns around as someone taps her shoulder, a middle aged woman looks at her and smiles. '' Hello I am Kelly Brown and I just want to say that your work is amazing! What is your name?''

'' Brittany Pierce.'' Brittany answers with a smile shaking her hand, Kelly smiles and nods her head to the art behind the girl.

'' Well Miss Pierce, I have to say that you have a lot of talent. I am interested in buying some of your work and I would love to see what you can do more.'' She smiles as she sees the confused look on her face and pulls out her card holding it out for Brittany. '' I am the organizer of this expo and many more all over the country, I also own a few galleries here in New York, LA and Washington and your work will fit right in.''

'' Seriously?'' Brittany asks shocked smiling slightly, Kelly nods her head and walks over to a drawing of a girl sitting on the beach facing the sunset.

'' Yes.'' She points at the drawing and smiles brightly. '' This is one of the most beautiful things I ever saw, where did you draw it?''

Brittany looks at the drawing and smiles glancing at her girlfriend seeing her listen to the conversation, she turns back to Kelly and nods her head to her girlfriend. '' The girl in the drawing is sitting right over there, that is my girlfriend Santana and I sketched it on a date and later put it on a canvas. She gave me her permission to set it up here and I have a lot of other paintings, drawings and portraits containing her or our family and friends.''

'' Could you make a sketch on the spot?'' Kelly turns to the blonde seeing her nod her head and smiles. '' Can you show me your talent?'' She takes her sketch book out of her shoulder bag and holds it out for her, Brittany takes it along with the pencil she holds out and looks around.

'' What do you want me to sketch?''

'' Can you sketch your girlfriend?''

Brittany turns to her girlfriend raising her pierced eyebrow silently asking if it's okay and sees her nodding her head, she turns to Kelly and nods her head. '' Yeah sure.''

She walks over to her girlfriend and glances at the palm trees slightly behind her. '' Babe can you face the palm trees?''

Santana nods her head and turns her chair, Brittany crouches down pulling on the chair so her girlfriend is sitting sideways and leans against the table with her paintings. Kelly watches her start sketching over her shoulder and her eyebrows raise as she sees the different techniques she uses, she watches the girl sitting in front of them appearing on the paper in a matter of minutes and smiles impressed seeing the concentration and the passion in the blondes face.

After ten more minutes Brittany holds up the sketchbook and smiles slightly. '' Here you go.''

Kelly takes her sketchbook looking between the sketch on the paper and the Latina and nods her head. '' This is really amazing Miss Pierce.'' She looks at the Latina and holds up her sketchbook. '' Is it okay if I keep it?'' She smiles as she nods her head and turns back to the blonde. '' Brittany I would like to offer you a display in a few of my galleries and a secured spot during my expos, I would love to help you bring your work to people and introduce you to the world of art.''

'' Really?'' Brittany asks shocked, she turns her head as she feels a presence beside her and sees her girlfriend smiling proudly at her. She turns back to Kelly after squeezing her girlfriends hand and sees her nodding her head with a smile.

'' Yes really not many people have a talent like you do Brittany and you are an artist that I searched for, for years and if you are interested I would really like to help you get the attention that you deserve.''

'' I would love to.'' Brittany mumbles still in shock, Kelly smiles and nods her head.

'' Perfect, may I ask how old you are and where you come from?''

'' I just turned eighteen last week and I live in Ohio.''

'' Are you still in high school?''

Brittany nods her head and smiles. '' Yes senior year in three weeks.''

'' Okay well I don't want you taking any decisions so sudden, how long are you in New York?''

'' Only this weekend, but I want to go to college here.'' Santana glances at her girlfriend trying to mask her shock because she knows she wanted to go to LA and that she wanted to go to New York and turns back to Kelly storing that information for later.

Kelly nods her head and sighs. '' Yes okay that is too short, but I will be up for visiting you in Ohio if that is alright with you. We can talk more about everything and I can answer all your questions, maybe your parents would like to talk to me too.''

'' Yes that sounds amazing.'' Brittany pulls out the business cards her mother made for her for the expo and quickly writes her address down. '' My phone number and address are on here, we still have three weeks of summer vacation so I have almost everyday time to meet up with you.''

Kelly takes the card and smiles. '' Good to know, I will contact you soon and hopefully we will see each other more in the future.'' She shakes Brittany's hand and turns to the Latina also shaking her hand. '' It was nice to meet the both of you, I need to get going the expo is about to end but we will stay in contact.''

Brittany nods her head and watches her walk away after saying goodbye, she turns to her girlfriend and bites her lip. '' Did that just really happen?''

Santana nods her head and pulls her in a hug. '' Yes that really happened, I told you that this would happen! I am so happy for and so proud of you mi amor!''

Brittany wraps her arms around her waist and smiles kissing her cheek softly. '' I wouldn't have the courage to stand here without you by my side baby, I love you.''

'' I love you too, Britt-Britt.'' Santana mumbles softly.

Ladies and Gentleman It's time to pack everything up, this expo is coming to an end for this year but we will be back next year with hopefully more talented artists! Thank you all for coming by and sharing your talent with us, we wish you all a nice day and hopefully will see each other soon!

Brittany pulls out of the hug as the announcement ends and looks down at her girlfriend. '' Want to help me pack everything up?''

She walks over to the table as she nods her head and grabs the bags she transported her paintings with, she starts putting the paintings into the different bags and sighs softly still not realizing what happened minutes before.

'' Hey beautiful.''

Brittany frowns turning around and raises an eyebrow as the girl from the stand next to her looks at her with a flirty smile. '' Hello?''

'' Would you like to join me for dinner after you and your friend cleaned everything up?''

Brittany shakes her head and sighs. '' Look I am flattered but my girlfriend.'' She drawls out the word while mentioning to Santana. '' And I already have plans.''

Santana rolls her eyes as the girl turns on her heels huffing and groans softly. '' Every damn time.''

'' Not like I ask for it.'' Brittany replies softly hearing the anger in her girlfriends voice, Santana sighs ignoring her and packs the last painting into the bag.

Brittany sighs under her breath and shakes her head, she grabs most of the paintings and turns to look at her. '' Come on.''

Santana follows her girlfriend out of the building and sees a taxi van standing in front of the door, Brittany looks at the driver and smiles. '' Hello are you here for Pierce?''

She smiles as the driver nods his head and places the paintings in the back as he opens the door for her, she slides into the car and sighs softly. '' Thank you for coming so quickly, I didn't think that a text message would go through.''

The driver looks in the rear view mirror and drives off as he sees both girls buckled in. '' No problem I was around the corner when the call came through, where to?''

Brittany gives him the address of the hotel to drop her paintings off and glances at her girlfriend sighing softly as she sees her looking out of the window, she pulls her piercing inbetween her teeth and pulls out her phone. She opens her sisters message and reads it rolling her eyes.

Heard that the both of you reached your first fight or discussion, don't take it too personal tiger. San is scared to lose you and the girls hitting on you doesn't really boost her confidence.

She quickly types out a reply and slides her phone back in her girlfriends purse.

It's not like I give her a reason to not trust me Heath, I blow every damn girl that flirt with me off and tell all of them that my lovely girlfriend is sitting right behind me.

'' We are here Miss, do you need help carrying everything in?'' Brittany shakes her head giving him money and slides out of the car after thanking him, she grabs the bags again waiting for her girlfriend to close the trunk and walks into the hotel knowing her girlfriend will follow.

Santana speeds up walking next to her girlfriend and pulls the key card of their room out of her purse, she opens the door as soon as they reach it and walks in placing the paintings on the desk in the corner of the room.

She walks back to the door as her girlfriend places everything on the desk and closes it, she sits down on the edge of their bed and groan covering her face with her hands.

Brittany turns around after making sure nothing will fall of the desk and looks at her girlfriend, she bites her lip and sighs. '' Want to talk about what happened?''

'' There is nothing to talk about Brittany, those girls just pissed me off.'' Santana mumbles with her face in her hands, Brittany leans back against the desk chair and raises an eyebrow at the use of her name.

'' Yeah and you let it out by snapping at me, it's not like I want them to hit on me you know.'' She throws her arms up as her girlfriend stays in the same position and bites her lip trying to calm herself down. '' Did I give you any reason to not trust me anymore Santana?''
