'' Babe?!'' Brittany yells through the house standing at the bottom of the basement stairs, she leans against the wall beside her knowing her girlfriend helped her grandmother cleaning up and nervously plays with her tongue piercing.
'' Yeah?''
'' Can you please come down here for a sec? I need your help real quick.''
'' Coming!''
Brittany bites her lip and turns around walking back into the art section of the basement, she looks at the painting she made and rubs the back of her head. '' I hope she will like it.'' She mumbles softly to herself, she turns on her heels as she hears her girlfriend jog down the stairs and smiles as she walks in.
'' Hey babe, what's up?''
Brittany locks eyes with her and bites her lip smiling nervously. '' I have a feeling something is missing in the painting I made last week, but I can't figure out what. Can you take a look?''
She steps to the side as she nods her head and points at the painting, Santana gasps softly as she sees a painting of a beautiful apartment with a blonde girl standing in the middle and tilts her head biting her lip. '' It looks amazing baby, I don't know what is missing.''
Brittany wraps her arms around her girlfriend from behind and smiles slightly. '' I just noticed what's missing, want me to show you?'' She grabs a brush as her girlfriend nods her head and pulls her bottom lip inbetween her teeth painting another person next to the blonde on the painting, she tightens her hold around her waist as she finished painting the person and grabs a smaller brush dipping it in black paint.
She kisses the side of her girlfriends head and writes the question in the right corner of the canvas.
You stole the key to my heart, will you accept this key to my, hopefully our apartment? Will you move in with me?
She feels her girlfriend tense as she reads it and puts the brush down, she reaches into the back pocket of her jeans and takes the keys out.
Santana turns around in her arms and raises an eyebrow with tears in her eyes, Brittany smiles and holds up the keys showing her the key rings with two halves of a house and the engraved text. ' Our first home.' on it.
Santana sniffles softly and nods her head. '' Of course, I will!'' she takes one of the keys and smiles sniffling again, Brittany smiles and takes a step closer wiping away her girlfriends tears with the pad of her thumb. '' God you are so perfect, Brittany Pierce.'' Santana mumbles softly nuzzling her face into her chest, Brittany wraps her arms around her waist and kisses her head.
'' I love you, Santana Lopez.''
'' And I love you, Brittany Pierce.'' Santana mutters softly, she pulls back leaning on her tiptoes and captures her lips in a loving kiss.
Brittany pulls out of the kiss before she can deepen it and leans their foreheads together smiling slightly. '' You want to see pictures of our apartment baby?'' She takes her hand in her own and gives her an Eskimo kiss. '' Want to show them our family? Only your dad knew why I had to go to LA for four days.''
'' Wait you drove down there for our apartment?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. '' Yeah I had one event with Kelly in the evening, but I drove down their to sign our lease and take another look.''
'' You are really amazing baby.'' Santana mutters softly, she nods her head and pulls back smiling. '' Yeah we can watch the pictures together with our family.''
Brittany nods her head and leads her up the stairs after turning off the lights, she walks into the living room keeping their hands intertwined and smiles slightly. '' Hey adults, you got a second?'' She smiles as her girlfriend chuckles and walks over to the love seat signing her sister to give her the USB cable that is connected to the TV.
'' Yeah, what's wrong?'' Brad asks looking up at both girls, Brittany sits down in the love seat and smiles.
'' Can we show you something?'' She thanks her sister as she gives her the USB cable after they nodded their heads and pulls up the album with pictures of their apartment on her phone, she sits back pulling her girlfriend against her and kisses her head selecting the first picture.
'' Oh wow.'' Susan mumbles her eyes widening as she sees the beautiful big living room with a fireplace and a window overlooking the park right in front of the house, Santana turns to her girlfriend with her jaw dropped and raises an eyebrow.
Brittany chuckles and nods her head, she kisses her shoulder and smiles. '' Yes that's ours baby.''
She sees her sisters looking at her with wide eyes and feels her girlfriend gasp as she sees the big kitchen, she kisses her cheek and smiles slightly. '' That is all yours baby, we will go shopping for furniture and decoration soon.''
'' Are you serious?'' Santana squeaks turning in her lap, Brittany chuckles and nods her head.
'' Yes I am.''
'' Wait a second..'' Alma says tilting her head as she sees her sons knowing smile and the shock on her granddaughters face. '' Brittany is that you apartment?''
Brittany smiles slightly seeing their mothers turn to her in shock and shakes her head squeezing her girlfriends waist softly. '' No, that is our apartment.''
She winces as they all squeal and laughs as the woman pull her girlfriend in a hug, she stands up and smiles as Mario pulls her in a hug. '' You did good mija, that apartment is beautiful!''
Brad joins the hug and kisses her cheek. '' You have an amazing taste B, Santana will love that kitchen when she it's done.''
Brittany smiles kissing their cheeks and glances at her girlfriend smiling as she sees her hugging Alma. '' She will be in charge of decorating everything in the kitchen, we can order things from here and Kelly's brother offered to build up everything so we have less stress when we move out there in two weeks.''
She chuckles as their parents swap places and stumbles back as her sister and Naya tackle her in a hug, she wraps an arm around them and smiles as their mothers and Alma join the hug.
Susan kisses her daughters cheek and smiles. '' It looks amazing honey, where did you find that apartment?''
Brittany smiles slightly and glances at her girlfriend knowing she is listening too. '' With a little help from Demi and Dallas.''
'' You serious?'' Santana asks shocked, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.
'' Yeah Demi and I write a lot because she needed some songs and she asked me how the apartment hunting is going, when I told her that most apartments are our of our price range she helped me and Dallas joined in after she received the canvas she ordered.''
She walks over to her girlfriend and kisses her head. '' Dan also offered to build the things up we order from here, we can start looking at furniture and things you need in the kitchen. Demi and Dallas just invited us over for dinner as soon as we settled in.''
'' That is amazing, the apartment is really beautiful sis.''
'' The kitchen is a dream.'' Santana mutters smiling slightly as she looks at the pictures on the TV, Brittany walks to her and wraps her arms around her from behind.
'' And it's all yours, you can order whatever you want for it baby.''
'' May I ask how much rent you pay for it Brittany?'' Alma asks curiously.
Brittany rubs the back of her head and walks over to her bag, she pulls out the lease contract and gives it her parents. Santana looks over her mothers shoulders and her eyes widen as she sees the rent. '' Shit baby, I don't have that much!'' She takes a step back and shakes her head. '' We can't afford that, we are going to college and I don't think I can wor…''
Brittany quickly walks to her and puts a finger on her lips effectively shutting her up, she turns to the group and sighs. '' Excuse us for a second.'' She takes her girlfriends hand and walks into the kitchen, she pushes her down on one of the chairs and crouches down in front of her. '' Baby calm down please.''
Santana shakes her head and bites her lip. '' Baby that is really a lot of money, I don't want you to be the only one paying for the rent of our apartment.''
'' I know that it's a lot baby but I saved enough for us to live there for more than three years without having to worry about any money, you know how much I get for every sold painting, song or visited gallery. I wanted an apartment for us where we don't have to worry about taking too long to get to our colleges, this one is perfect and directly in the middle of both of our colleges.''
'' But.'' Brittany shakes her head and smiles slightly.
'' Babe please concentrate on college first, if you want to pay me back as soon as your bakery is a hit you can.''
Santana bites her lip and looks down at their intertwined hands on her leg. '' God I can only imagine how you felt walking into the apartment, I already fell in love the second I saw the pictures.'' She lifts her head and sighs. '' I feel bad when you are the only one paying for everything baby, you work hard for the money you earn.''
Brittany smiles and squeezes her hand softly. '' How about this. You can pay for our groceries and pay for a few bills, I know you will feel bad at first San but I don't mind paying for our rent I just want you to enjoy college and work for your future.''
Santana bites her lip and sighs softly. '' I will still pay you back.''
'' Mija, your mother and I will help you out at first.'' Mario says walking into the kitchen with the rest of his family, Alma nods her head and smiles.
'' I will help you and your sister out too Santanita, we all want you to enjoy college without any stress.''
Maribel takes the bank card Susan holds out for her and holds it up for the teens to see. '' Nay and Heather already have their card, this.'' She holds it out smiling as her daughter it takes frowning slightly. '' Is a card the five of us will put money on, you can either use it to pay for your rent or to do something nice together.''
Susan holds up her hand as her tallest daughter shakes her head and smiles slightly. '' You just shut up honey, I know you don't want us paying for anything because you already earn enough but we want to. We will pay for Heather's and I will also give you money I don't care if you like it or not, we are still your parents and we want to help you out so just take it and don't complain.''
'' Are you sure?'' Santana and Brittany ask in unison, Susan nods her head and smiles.
'' We all are we are so proud of you and we already planned on helping the four of you out before we knew that you.'' She points at Brittany. '' Would be famous before ending high school, we already put in money monthly and we will do that until you girls finished college.''
'' But.'' Brittany mutters.
Maribel shakes her head and smirks. '' Shut up mija and just accept it, we love the four of you and are really proud to see you grow up into four amazing young woman.''
'' We don't want any of you stressing about money and I know we won't see you a lot, but we do want a phone call at least once a week so we know how you girls are doing.'' Brad adds smiling slightly, Mario nods his head and chuckles.
'' We have to let you go in two weeks which will be hard for all of us, but we also know that together the four of you will make it.''
Brittany takes the card and stands up pulling her girlfriend with her, they both hug their parents and sigh softly. Brittany kisses her mothers cheek and pulls her sister and Brad into the hug. '' Thank you.''
Susan smiles and kisses her cheek pulling Santana into their hug too, she kisses her head and smiles slightly. '' No need to thank us girls, now want to tell what ideas the both of you have for your apartment?''
Santana chuckles and pulls out of the hug. '' Let's move this back to the living room.'' Susan nods her head in agreement and leads the four girls back, Brittany drops down into the love seat patting the spot beside her for her sister and pulls her girlfriend in her lap.
Santana sits down sideways in her girlfriend lap and buries her face in her neck as their parents place drinks and snacks on the table, she kisses her pulse point softly and sighs. '' God, I really missed laying in your arms.''
Brittany smiles and kisses her forehead. '' I missed falling asleep next to you too baby.'' She looks up as the adults sit down and sees her mother already looking at her with an eyebrow raised. '' What do you want to know mom?''
'' What do you have planned for your art room?''
'' The same as the basement but better organized and cleaned up, I am glad I have a window in the room so I can close it up when I start with glow in the dark paint.''
'' You want to make glow in the dark canvasses?'' Heather asks smiling, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.
'' Yeah Kelly has a dark section in her galleries and only two to three paintings on the wall, I offered her to paint a few more and will start with the northern lights.''
'' That is really cool.'' Alma says smiling brightly, she turns to her granddaughter and smiles. '' We already asked your sister and Heather what they planned for their apartment so now it's your turn Santanita, what do you have planned for it?''
Santana shrugs and smiles slightly. '' Britt and I will take decisions together abuela, well she left the decoration of the kitchen to me.''
Brittany smiles slightly and squeezes her girlfriends waist softly. '' We will design the kitchen and Art room on our own because it's both something we love to do and we know best what we need and what we don't need, but the rest of the apartment will be something we will do together.''
'' What do you have planned for the kitchen mija?'' Mario asks curiously, Santana wraps her arm around her girlfriends shoulders as she sits up and looks at her smiling slightly. '' Babe can you give me your phone? There is a kitchen design website, that is better to explain.''
Brittany nods her head and takes her phone out of her pocket, she holds it out and smirks slightly. '' Password is the day we started tutoring.''
'' Why that day?'' Naya asks curiously, Brittany bites her lip and shrugs watching her girlfriend give in the password.
'' Because that was the day, that I fell for her.''
'' God that is cute.'' Heather mutters chuckling as her sister blushes, Santana turns to look at her girlfriend and kisses her softly.
'' That was also the day I started to fall for you babe.'' She turns back to the phone in her hands as she feels her girlfriend tighten her hold around her waist and quickly designs the kitchen she wants, she connects the cable to the phone and nods her head to the TV. '' That is my dream kitchen which is far too big for the apartment, but something like this is amazing too.''
She taps the second design she made and hears gasp all around her, Brittany looks at the design and smiles kissing her girlfriends shoulder. '' Did you search online for everything?'' Santana shakes her head and sighs.
'' No not yet, tonight together?''
Alma turns to her granddaughter and smiles. '' That is really amazing Santanita, I love the dark colors.''
'' Is that a double oven?'' Maribel asks turning to her daughter, Santana chuckles and nods her head.
'' Yeah I want a double oven so I can bake a lot at one and only a cook top and a dishwasher is a must, double oven are amazing to make different pastries or cakes at once.''
'' Doesn't show the dark color of everything, the mess you made during baking?'' Brad asks curiously.
'' I love the dark blue color in the kitchen and it fits the floor already in there, I will also immediately wipe it down after I am done with everything so you won't see the mess I made.'' Santana says smiling. '' It's also a marble counter top so I can wipe it down easily.''
Brittany takes her phone from her girlfriend listening to her talk about the kitchen and makes a screenshot, she sends it Dan and quickly writes him a message.
San has this kitchen in mind, do you have time to go to one of the showrooms and ask how long it would take to build that in? If they need payment first just tell me, I can transfer the money to them.
She closes the chat and returns to the website, she gives her girlfriend the phone back and takes a sip of her beer.
Santana glances down at the phone and raises an eyebrow as she sees a message from Dan, she hands it her girlfriend and turns in her lap. Brittany smiles sheepishly and opens the chat knowing she saw a little bit of what he wrote, Santana looks at the phone and smiles as she reads her girlfriends message. She looks up at her as she reads Dan's answer and smiles. '' You serious?''
Damn awesome design B if I ever need help I know where to find her, yeah I will go there now if they need payment first I will send you their bank details.
Brittany quickly sends him a 'thank you' and looks at her girlfriend nodding her head. '' Yeah he offered to go to a showroom there, if they manage to get it done in two weeks we will have a kitchen when we move in.''
Santana throws her arms around her girlfriends shoulders and hugs her tightly. '' God, I love you.''
'' Brittany is just fine.'' Brittany mutters smirking, she turns her head kissing her head and laughs. '' I just felt your eyes roll babe.''
Susan chuckles watching the four teens cuddle on the love seat and tilts her head. '' Do you girls have any wishes for your apartment? Something you guys really need?''
'' Music.''
'' Movies.'' Santana and Naya mutter in unison, Susan laughs and rolls her eyes.
'' Yeah why doesn't that answer surprise me.''
'' You asked mom.'' Brittany says laughing, she kisses her girlfriends forehead as she buries her face in her neck and turns back to their parents running her hand down her back. '' Music is a must and maybe a good surround system, San will be in charge of the decoration otherwise our apartment will look like a museum.''
Heather laughs and pats her sisters shoulder. '' You and your love for arts sis.''
'' Like your apartment won't look like something out of a Marvels movie.'' Brittany mutters rolling her eyes, Naya laughs and shrugs.
'' Well you are in charge of painting it B.''
Brittany and Heather smile knowingly and both immediately take a sip of their drinks, Susan raises an eyebrow and turns to her friends. '' Looks like my girls planned something for Nay.''
Maribel nods her head having seen the interaction too and chuckles. '' I hope they will record her reaction.''
Naya looks at her sister and chuckles. '' Well San is out.''
'' She didn't sleep well with B being away.'' Heather mutters shrugging, Brittany chuckles and tightens her hold around her girlfriend.
'' Yeah same goes for me.''
'' You do look like a zombie at the moment.'' Susan says smirking
'' Thanks mom.'' Brittany mutters rolling her eyes as her sister and Naya burst out laughing, Maribel laughs and shakes her head.
'' Go to bed B, I don't think San will wake up again.''
'' Need help carrying her up?'' Alma asks, Brittany shakes her head giving her sister her empty beer bottle and adjusts her hold on her girlfriend. She stands up holding her girlfriend bridal style and chuckles as she sees Alma's shocked face.
'' It's not the first time that I carry her around.''
'' She carried San inside on their first date because she fell asleep at the beach, she stood in the doorway for almost ten minutes talking to Nay without complaining about the weight in her arms mami.'' Mario explains chuckling.
'' She also carried us.'' Susan mentions to herself and Heather. '' Upstairs a lot because we fell asleep during movie nights.''
'' Oh yeah I remember the movie night we had a few months a go and we all fell asleep, I think B carried all of us up and that after a killer training.'' Naya says laughing, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and smiles slightly.
'' The couch is uncomfortable so I will always carry you guys up.'' She adjusts her hold on her girlfriend and smiles. '' Good night.''
'' Good night B.''
She turns around after grabbing both of their phones and walks up the stairs, she walks into her room kicking the door behind her closed and lays her girlfriend on her bed. She takes off her shoes and helps her out of her jeans, after taking off her jeans she walks into her bathroom and wets a towel.
She walks back to her girlfriend after grabbing the cups for her contacts and sits down on the edge of the bed, she slowly runs the towel over her face taking off her make-up and throws it in the direction of the clothing hamper standing in the corner of her room.
She softly shakes her girlfriend and chuckles as she groans. '' Babe, you have to take out your contacts.'' She opens the cups as she groans and smiles slightly as she blindly puts them in it, she closes the cups putting it on the nightstand beside her and stands up quickly taking off her clothes.
She slides into the bed next to her girlfriend and smiles lovingly as she immediately turns around pulling her arms around her waist, she slides her arm under her head and kisses her shoulder softly. '' I am looking forward to cuddle up with you every night in our apartment my love, I love you.''
