A/N: Hey again. Sorry for the slow update and the short chapter, real life gets in the way sometimes. This chapter is kind of a time jump of sorts and the following chapters will follow the same pattern. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to visit me at ohhheyitsnic on tumblr.
You're sitting at home on your laptop going through some case notes for your final project. Everything is starting to bleed together in your head so you decide to take a little break. You pick up your phone and press down the number 2, closing your eyes and listening to the drone of the ring on the other end. You hear her pick up and an unconscious smile spreads across your lips.
"Hey honey."
"Hey babe, are you busy?"
"Umm…"
"I take that as a yes..." you reply with what you hope is a silent sigh.
"I'm sorry, I'm in the middle of these applications and this final project is driving me insane. I've hit a wall on one of my calculations and I can't figure out where the problem is."
"I'm sorry you're stuck, and it's okay, I'm pretty busy too. I just wanted to call and see if we were still on for dinner tonight."
"I'm going to try my hardest."
You sigh quietly, "Ok, let me know if you can't make it."
"I will. I love you, Santana."
"I love you too. I'll talk to you later."
You hang up the phone and feel your shoulders slumping. You're not mad at her, that would be really hypocritical since you are currently drowning in work as well, but you just… miss her. You're finishing up the fall semester of your last year of college and you're both swamped with grad school applications, final projects, and trying to decide on a place to live (which kind of depends on the applications). It's exciting and hectic and you kind of hate it because you haven't been able to properly see each other for anything other than sleep and the occasional dinner in weeks (not to mention your sex life has been sorely affected). These applications are making your head spin too. The two of you are trying to find colleges that are close to each other but also have really awesome programs and exist in a place that you'd actually WANT to live. Sighing, you look back to the partially written document on your laptop and figure that you have at least a few more hours of work left before you can take a break.
It's just after 6 and you're putting the finishing touches on dinner. You realized that you've subconsciously made all of Brittany's favorites in a weird and completely illogical attempt to mentally draw her home. You roll your eyes at yourself; your mind is ridiculous sometimes. Well at least she'll have good leftovers whenever she can break away. You shoot of a text letting her know that dinner is ready and that you're going to go ahead and eat. She replies a few minutes later letting you know that she's still stuck in the lab but she'll be home as soon as she can. You uncork the bottle of wine sitting on the counter and pour a glass before settling in for another dinner for one.
You wake up in the middle of the night to soft kisses being pressed across your bare shoulders. Rolling over, you see the outline of Brittany standing over you in a towel.
"Hey baby, I'm sorry I woke you up. I just missed you."
"It's okay, hurry up and get in here."
"Let me just get some PJ's really quick."
"No, don't. Just come here," you gesture to her with what can only be described as grabby hands.
She throws the towel into the hamper and slides into bed with you, instantly curling around you. You let out a deep contented sigh at the feel of her damp, shower warm body pressed against yours. Just the feeling of skin on skin was enough to send you into a state of bliss. You turn over and wrap your arm around her waist to pull her closer to you, snuggling into her chest and entwining your legs in the process. You want to be completely enveloped in her right now.
"What time is it," you mumble through a yawn.
"A little after midnight," she replies, running her fingers slowly through your hair.
"You just now got home? Baby, you have to start taking some breaks. You're going to burn yourself out."
"But who's going to discover all the secrets of the universe if it's not me?" she asks with mock seriousness.
You fix her with an amused smile, "I think the universe will still be there to discover when you get back, I promise."
She giggles softly, "I promise I'll take more breaks, I just wanted to get as much done tonight as I could. Because this weekend, if you can swing it, it's just going to be you and me. No school, no applications, nothing but you and I spending time together."
You lift your head up to look at her with a soft smile, "Really?"
She nods and pulls you closer to her, "Really, really. I miss you. A LOT. I was sitting there tonight and pouring over my project, which I figured out by the way, and I realized that it had been 3 weeks since we've spent any actual time together. So I had to find a way to fix that."
You lean over and press a long languid kiss to her lips, "I think that's a capital idea and I'm glad you figured out your project too."
She giggles, shifting closer to you and letting out a contented sigh. Her naked skin glides across yours and you suddenly become aware that you're both completely nude for the first time in days. Your body apparently notices too if your increasing heart rate is any indication. You lean up again to kiss her and she doesn't expect it when you run your tongue along the seam of her lips. You feel her hand gliding down your side to your hip, and then she's shifting and urging you to settle on top of her. Your languid kiss doesn't break as you straddle her waist and run your fingers through her wet hair. You pull away and run your tongue down her neck slowly.
"God, I've missed you," Brittany breathes into your ear.
"I've missed you too," you reply, nipping at her earlobe in the process and drawing out a groan from below you. Her hands glide down your back and settle on your ass as she gently pulls you into her.
Sitting up, you rest your hands on her breasts and thumb over the stiff peaks of her nipples. She arches into your hands and sits up to kiss you with what you assume is the pent up sexual frustration of the last few days. Her mouth trails from your lips down to your chest as she takes a nipple into her mouth and rolls the other between her fingers. Your hips haven't stopped rolling and you can feel yourself dampening her skin. Your hand is buried in her hair, keeping her attached to your chest as your head rolls back onto your shoulders. You're so distracted that when you feel fingers running through the apex of your thighs, you jolt hard. Before you have much time to get used to the feeling, Brittany is slipping two fingers in and starting a rhythm.
"Uhnng, you're so wet. How did we go three days without this?" she murmurs out into your chest.
You moan out into the heady air of the room and roll your hips slowly so that every upstroke causes her fingers to drift across the spot that makes your vision go white. You're not going to last much longer, so you lean back with one arm on her thigh and drag your fingers up to her center. She gasps as her mouth finally leaves your breast and you take the opportunity to begin rubbing rapid circles on her clit before sinking your fingers in.
"Fffuck.."
You're trying to keep her going without stuttering from your own pleasure and eventually you both fall into the same rhythm. It's only a few more minutes before you're stiffening under her ministrations, your eyes rolling back in your head as your orgasm rushes through your body. By the time you're back on earth, you become aware that Brittany is still rolling into your palm. You gather what's left of your strength and pick up your pace again, repeatedly brushing your thumb over her clit. It's only a few more strokes before she's yelling your name and you're both collapsing onto the mattress. You press kisses up her chest and snuggle into her side.
"So I have you all weekend?"
"You have me forever"
Your heart pounds at her words and you kiss her lips softly.
"Perfect"
