AN: just wanna thank you all for the reviews (special thanks to RememberDecember143)

I promised I would try to update this faster and here I am. Just a week apart. I think I will be nowupdating this weekly (I will try).

Enjoy the chapter ;))

Santana was working on her new fall fashion project when she heard a knock on the door.

"Berry what have I told you about not letting no one disturb me while I work? I guess your brain is just as small as your body." She said not even bothering to look who it was.

"Santana, that's really mean." Brett said disappointed with her.

Santana jumped at his voice, she wasn't expecting him and the disappointment on his tone was enough to make Santana feel bad. He had a sort of control over her and despite still being a bitch to everyone, Santana tried to be a better person when he was around.

After that day when she slept at Brett's and they had a great time with James, their relationship just kept improving and now they are friends. She also has been noticing little things about Brett that made her heart all warm inside but she always tried to deny the reason. She is scared to confront it and acknowledge why Brett has such effect on her.

"Ugh I'm sorry it's just I'm getting frustrated with this new fall campaign. I feel like I'm stuck." She sighed and rested her head on her hands.

"You shouldn't apologize to me but to Rach. I don't get why it's so hard for you to say you are sorry to other people when you keep constantly saying it to me." He said wondering.

"Because you are different, it sucks to be mean to you because you are like a super cute golden retriever. Not even me can deal with your sad puppy eyes." She looked at him. "And believed me I try."

"So you think I'm super cute?" He smirked.

"I hate you." She replied laughing. Brett always knew a way to make her feel better and light the situation.

"Nope, you don't." He said cocky and got closer to her. "I just wanted to give you these awesome brownies that I made with JP and wish you good luck for the campaign. You can do this San, you are the smartest." He winked and then gave her a hug.

Santana melted on his arm. It was starting to be her safe zone. Again the feeling of home came.

"Ugh B you are so awesome. Thanks for everything. Tell James I love brownies." Santana was also getting closer to James and, to be honest, she really liked the young boy. She didn't like poor people and children but James and Brett were making her see things differently now. They didn't had a lot of money and they were happy so maybe money isn't that important when you got someone.

"Well you can tell him personally if you join us to dinner tonight. We can watch Lion King 2." Brett said expectantly. Truth to be told, he was getting really used to Santana, sure she was sometimes hard to deal with but he could read her like no one else. Santana wasn't Satan with Brett, she was just San (and Sanny as James call her).

"I wish I could but I have this important dinner with my parents and my dad's business partner. I rather be with you and James but I promised would be there." She said without noticing the weight her last sentence carried. She liked to be part of the little trio and she would always deny it but even when they made her sing Hakuna Matata she liked it. She felt happy in a way she hasn't felt in awhile now.

"Oh it's okay." Brett tried to not sound too sad. "But why would you be in a business dinner? Is it something related with S et Q?" He asked. "Maybe I can help you?"

"Oh no, my dad just wants me to meet Noah Puckerman, the heir of the Puckerman's bourbon. He thinks we would be good couple and that way both our companies could work together in order to promote both of our family legacy." She explained simply.

Brett didn't like it but also didn't understand why and Santana kinda noticed.

Why he looks pissed? She thought.

"But that isn't right of your dad to do that. You can't be with a person just because Lopez Inc. needs a new alliance. God this is not Middle Ages where your dad can use you just for business. Why you accepted it?" He said all of this almost in one breath.

Santana was trying to understand him because she was really confused to why he cared so much. Normally Brett was really calm and collected. "Geez can you breath? You are being really melodramatic B." She laughed it off. "Besides I already met him a few times and he is not bad. A little bit of a womanizer but ain't we all?" She turned back to him and saw a not very pleasant look on his face. Is this jealousy on his eyes? No, it can't be. I must be hallucinating.

Brett was pissed that Santana dismissed him but he has no rights to be mad or jealous. They are just friends and Brett was only caring about her safety, nothing else.He tried to convince himself of that.

"Yeah you are right San. Sorry today's been a long day." He said with a not so genuine smile. "But look I have to go now, okay? Good luck." He said and left, not even waiting for her answer.

"Thanks... I guess." She mumbled to herself.

Dinner time came and the Lopez family and the Puckerman's were reunited at the table. The talk was mostly going on between the men because Maribel didn't like that much Noah's mom, Alice. To be honest she didn't like the Puckerman's family at all but she understood the importance of their alliance with Lopez Inc.

"So Maribel, I heard Santana had her own company. You must be so proud of her that she followed your path, even though that leaves Lopez Inc without a heir. Noah is a business genius Santana, a man like that is hard to find." Alice winked to Santana who just smiled as reply.

Maribel tried to not roll her eyes. "Santana has also a major in fashion economics. She know her stuff." She said but Marco gave her a hard look. "But I am sure Noah would be a great addiction to our company and maybe develop a friendship with Santana?" Maribel said with her best fake smile.

"My son is a ladies man. He would make you happy and buy all your women stuff." Mark Puckerman said laughing.

What an asshole. Ugh I could be with Brett and James nowbut I'm here with thisstupid family.

"They are joking. Don't be so serious Lopez. You used to be so carefree." Noah whispered on her ear. "Maybe I can make you relax? Just like the old times." He said. Santana wasn't having any sexual action for awhile now so she was extra horny and Noah could help her with that.

She tried her best to not think about blue eyes. Blonde hair. A smile to kill for.

Brett.

They didn't had anything and Brett would never like someone like her because he was everything that is good in this stinking miserable world and Santana, well she was just not worthy. She repeated this on her head and let the old Santana come back.

"I would love to." She whispered to him with a sexy voice. "Let's go to your place."

AN: don't kill meeeeeplease. It's important for you guys understand that Santana is acomplex character and that her development will take time. Besides it's not like they had anything (yet) they were just friends who was getting confused about their feelings.

I hope you liked. Leave a review maybe with your opinion and what would like you to see next?
