AN: what's uppp?
Sorry if it took too long but I am here now.
Hope you enjoy and please read the AN in the end :)
It was Friday and that meant it already was James Birthday.
Brett had asked Quinn to be 30 minutes late so he could do their birthday special routine without James being really sleepy.
"Happy birthday to youuu." Brett sang as he entered his son's room.
James smiled and got up to hug him. "Dad you said I would be as big as you in my 4th birthday." He said and pouted.
Brett laughed. "No buddy. I said you would be as tall as me in your 24th birthday. Not 4th." He explained.
"Okay so only 20 years more right?"
"You're so smart you could go already to college and finish it for me." He said proudly.
"You're the smartest daddy but you should know I can't go yet to college silly." James laughed.
"Ohh it's true. But I am sure they would make an exception for you." He took a time to really see his son. "You're growing up so fast JP. Look at that hair you look like a surfer."
"Just like Uncle Sam?" James asked.
Brett smiled at his question. Sam Evans was Brett's best friend since high school when they both joined the football team together. They were the inseparable duo and both even got accepted in Harvard Business School but then Brett had to drop out to take care of James so they didn't spend that much time together anymore but they still are best friends. They would always be.
"Uncle Sam cut his hair to look more like a business man and less a teenager. But yeah like him." James and Sam had a good relationship and Brett loved it. "Let's go to the kitchen JP, I will make you pancakes with chocolate chips."
"Yeeeeyy you are the best dad in the world. Can LT have some?" James had the cat on his lap.
"Hm I am not sure if it's good for him but we can make another special breakfast to him." Brett said looking at the big cat who seemed angry. "Sorry Tubbs."
"It's okay he will forgive you. We are the forever trio. BP and JP and LT." James said.
"The forever trio huh? I think Auntie Hannah is teaching you a lot of new words." Brett smiled.
"Yup yesterday she teach me how to put my hair up just like Shawn."
"Who's Shawn?"
"Mendes. The singer. Auntie is crazy abou him." James said with his mouth full with pancakes.
"Okay I will talk to her." Brett was wondering what else his sister teach James.
Meanwhile, not so far away from Brett's apartment was Santana freaking out wondering if she should sent Brett a text.
She really didn't know how to say she was sorry to Quinn because she almost never did. But now things seemed to be more serious than the other times they got mad at each other. She couldn't lose Quinn's friendship so she swallowed her huge pride and texted him.
She was nervous and she didn't know why.
Brett was finishing breakfast with James when his phone beep.
From: unknown number
Maybe you were right.
He had no idea who it was and was really confused. He replied and started cleaning so he could get ready for work.
Santana was waiting the reply and thought it was taking too much time for him to answer back.maybe he gave me the wrong number?
But then the notification came.
From: Brett Pierce.
Right about what? Who is this? If this is the lady from the supermarket I didn't mean to say you smell like mothballs. Sorry 3
Santana couldn't help the smile it was appearing in her face. Brett really was something else. Also the heart. Who sends a heart to a supposed stranger?
What the hell is happening to me? I don't smile and specially not in the morning. She thought.
She was thinking about what to reply.
Brett was leaving his house to go to work.
"Buddy don't forget that when I came back we will have the party okay? I am sorry I can't spend the entire day with you." He said apologetically.
"S'okay dad you have to work."
Brett smiled at how understanding his son was. "Yes I do son. I love you but now I have to go. Bye and behave."
When he closed the door he received another message.
From:unknown number.
It's Santana Lopez.
Ps: you said to a old lady she smelled like mothballs and I am the bad person? LOL
Brett smiled at the new information about the unknown number identity and replied.
Santana had texted Brett almost for an hour and he helped her. She was in a good mood today. Even though she would never admit that the cause of her mood was one Brett Pierce.
She saw Quinn walking in and focused on her new task: apologize.
"For what did you call me?" Quinn asked not wanting to be there.
"Well good morning to you too Quinn." Santana was already losing her patience so she tried thinking about what Brett said. "I want to apologize about my behavior but I still think you were a bit extra and dramatic."
"That doesn't look like a apology to me." Quinn was shocked Santana was trying to apologize so she decided she could enjoy this. "Try harder." She smirked.
"Oh fuck off Lucy, I am sorry okay? I will take my job more seriously." Santana said but couldn't help to be the usual sassy. "Mom" she completed.
"Touché Bitch." Quinn laughed. "But seriously what happened so that you apologize? I thought sorry didn't exist in your dictionary." She was curious.
"The delivery boy." She knew he wasn't a delivery boy but she had to seem indifferent about him so Quinn wouldn't understand what was going on.
To be honest not even Santana knew what was going on. Brett just did things to her.
"You mean Brett?" Santana nodded. "What the hell? As in the handsome tall blonde Brett?" Quinn was shocked.
Santana didn't like to hear Quinn calling Brett handsome. "He is not handsome." She lied.
"Yeah sure. He is adorable and handsome." Quinn said. "And now it looks like he also does miracles since you don't apologize."
"Geez Fabray keep it on your pants would you?" Santana was annoyed. "He just told me you were being a brat. I mean not with those words but anyways. Then we talked and yeah you are my best friend and I don't want you to hate me too." She said not looking into Quinn's eyes.
"Oh my god is this Santana being a softie? I will have to ask Brett how he do it." Quinn teased and went to hug her.
They hugged and Santana felt better. "Shut up." She smiled. "So we are okay?"
"Yes Satan. Now let's work."
It was lunch time and she was going to Quinn's office.
"Good morning Miss Lopez. Quinn is talking with Mr. Hummel inside but you can join them." Marley, Quinn's assistant said to Santana who just nodded and proceed to the office.
"Lady Hummel to what we owe you the pleasu-" She was going to finish but got interrupted with the sight of a bare-chested Brett with Kurt measuring him.
And dear god he had abs. And what abs.
Brett blushed really hard. "I am sorry Miss Santana but Mr. Hummel said I looked like a model and wanted to design some new uniform with my measures."
Santana was still breathless. And horny.
"Cat got your tongue Lopez?" Quinn was still teasing her.
But, to her lucky, Kurt interrupted them. "Santana and Quinn why you two have a Greek god working as a janitor when he may possibly be one of the hottest man alive?"
Needles to say that Brett was a tomato by now. You see Brett used to be the most confident man alive. He was the quarterback and prom king in his high school so he had a pretty good confidence until his girlfriend left him. That can kill anyone's self esteem.
"Kurt you are making him uncomfortable. Stop that and Pierce could you dress yourself?" She tried to sound professional but the sight of his abs was just really distracting.
"In my defense I tried to stop Kurt but he really needed the measurements as he will work in a new uniform for NBA players." Quinn said to Santana. "Plus Kurt was paying really good."
"It's true. Thank you very much sir." Brett said smiling his best smile to Kurt.
"Oh stop it I might faint with your smile. Tell me honey are you straight?" Kurt asked.
"KURT!!!!" Both Quinn and Santana screamed at him.
"Okay that's enough. Come with me Brett." Santana said pushing Brett by the arm to the door.
Fuck he must work out. He is really strong.
When they were outside the office, Santana realized she was now alone with him and felt nervous.
And with just a smile, Brett turned Santana almost into jelly.
"Good morning Santana. I hope it all went alright with Quinn." He said still smiling. "I also hope you're not mad with me. It's just that today's my son's birthday and all the money I get can help."
"Yeah we are okay now. And it's alright but Kurt can be a little too much sometimes." She said trying to ignore the feelings. She barely knew him and he already had effect on her.
"Oh I can deal with too much." He laughed. "Rachel is my best friend so you know. But I have to go now." Brett said looking at her.
"Blue." She blurted.
"What?" He asked confused.
Fuck did I say it out loud? Fuck fuck.
"Ehm your eyes...are like really blue." She said blushing. What the hell happened to my game? I used to be the flirting queen.
"Oh thanks? I guess. Yours are really brown. Dark chocolate. Just like you." He said more serious now.
She was really confused as if it was a compliment or not. "Are you saying I am bitter?"
"Always thinking the worst." He laughed. "But no, I was saying you are just like dark chocolate because just like you, they're classy and sophisticated. Also really strong. They are my favorite." He said.
She didn't have words, she was processing it all and it came nothing. So there was a silence between them but not the awkward one. It was just really intense.
Finally she said. "Okay that's a really weird thing to say about a chocolate Pierce." She tried to joke to hide she was blushing. "I would take you as milk chocolate lover."
"I used to. But with the right chocolate I don't need milk." He said and left.
Were they still talking about chocolate? Santana didn't think so.
AN: guys do you think they are going too slow? I intend this to be a slow burn but I also want you to understand that Santana is beginning already to like Brett because nobody ever treated her like he does.
Alsoo please could you guys say what you think? I want your opinion about their relationship and also about the other characters. Have you guys any fav?
Next chapter will be James birthday's ;)))
