Author's Note: Hello again! Thank you to everyone who's about to read this.
This chapter will be shorter as an introduction and to explain what happened between book 1 and 2.
I'm so excited to present to you 'The Girl I Fell In Love With'!
Sunday 11th of August
"Santana!" Brittany shouted down the hall for the third time.
"Coming B!" Santana called back as she hopped down the hall tying the laces of her converse.
Brittany and Santana had agreed to go out for lunch with Rachel and Quinn and were supposed to meet them.
As Santana opened the front door she received a smack to the back of her head.
"OUCH!" She shouted.
"You should have hurried up then." Brittany shrugged. Her mouth curled into a smirk. She followed Santana through the door out of their apartment and locked it behind them.
"That actually really hurt." Santana replied with pout and furrowed brows as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Aww I'm sorry baby." Brittany sympathized. She leaned down and gave Santana a soft kiss as an apology. "I was trying to do what I know your Ma would do in that situation."
"She definitely would have smacked me on the head." Santana agreed. "I don't think she would have kissed me after though." She giggled.
"Oh no, the kiss was all me." Brittany replied with a wink. She took Santana's hand in her own and took the elevator down to the ground floor of the apartment building.
It had been 5 years since junior year. The girls were now 22 and more in love than ever.
After senior year, they graduated together and Santana attended NYU. Brittany went to Julliard for dance. They moved to New York together and rented a small one bedroom apartment.
That first year in New York was the hardest year for the girls individually and for their relationship. They were both attending classes at separate schools and working hard to keep good grades. Their schedules were often opposing which meant they didn't see each other that much. That distance put pressure on their relationship.
After graduating, Santana got a job working at a public relations company. She worked her way up the business and now owns her own company. Brittany became a professional dancer and did some choreographing too. She now owns her own studio and teaches there. She also choreographs occasionally when she is offered a job.
After saving some money, they moved into a bigger apartment. This one had two bedrooms, a larger kitchen and en suite bathrooms for both rooms. Rachel and Quinn live a few floors below them in the same apartment building.
Rachel attended NYADA and is now in rehearsals for her Broadway debut in the show 'funny girl'. Quinn also went to NYU and studied to become a lawyer. She now works at a small firm and also works for Santana's public relations company.
Quinn and Rachel also kept their relationship going after school. It was also very hard for them as a couple. They both chose to live on campus and moved in together only last year.
The hardest times were behind them and now the two couples were enjoying living together and spending their days with the girl they love.
"Sorry we're late." Brittany said as she slid into the booth opposite Quinn and Rachel. Brittany always sat on the right so they wouldn't bump arms when eating because Santana is left handed.
"I don't expect anything else from you two. You've never been on time up until now so I'd be a little worried if you suddenly changed." Quinn said as she shook her head and rolled her eyes.
They gave their orders to the waiter and received their drinks from him a minute later.
"Anyway, how has your day been so far?" Brittany asked as she sipped on Dr Pepper.
"Well we got up early and had breakfast. I had to go for my final fitting of my costumes for 'funny girl' while Quinn popped into her office to pick up a file. Then we went for a walk in the park and now we're here." Rachel answered. Quinn just nodded along.
"What about you two?" Quinn asked in return.
"Well we haven't done much. We slept in then we just laid in bed for ages with Lord Tubbington. Then we got showered and ready and then we came here." Santana explained.
"So you guys haven't been doing anything and yet you still manage to be late. You should get some kind of award." Quinn replied in a snarky manner.
Brittany and Santana looked at each other and shrugged. The smiled and giggled at their own antics.
"You're just jealous that we got to stay in bed while you had to go out." Brittany stated.
"Whatever." Quinn replied.
The waiter brought over their food and they all tucked in.
"Nope. Still not as good as BreadstiX." Santana thought aloud as she took a bite of her chicken parmesan.
"Babe I've told you, you can't compare every Italian place we go to to BreadstiX." Brittany said with a tilted head.
"Actually yes I can, and I will." Santana said with a smirk.
After lunch, the couples went out around the city for a bit and then walked back to their building together. When the elevator stopped at Quinn and Rachel's floor, they said their goodbyes and Santana and Brittany rode up another couple of floors.
"So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" Brittany asked as she unlocked the door.
"Well we go back to work tomorrow and with Rachel's show just around the corner, I have a lot of work to be doing. I need to set up interviews and appearances before she gets too popular after opening night. So I was thinking we could stay here and watch a movie, cuddle on the couch, maybe open some wine too." Santana answered. "If that's alright with you, I don't want to spoil your plans for tonight if you want to go out."
"No, you read my mind actually, a night in sounds perfect!" Brittany agreed as she took of her jacket and shoes and hung them by the door.
"Great! I'm just going to get changed into something comfier and then we can pick a movie." Santana said as she disappeared into their bedroom.
Brittany wondered into the kitchen and opened a bottle of red wine. She carried it and two glasses into the lounge and set them down on the coffee table. She grabbed the remotes and sat down on the couch, propping her feet up on the coffee table.
Santana returned a minute later and poured herself and Brittany some wine. She sat down next to the blonde and cuddled into her side. She draped a blanket across them and they chose a movie.
Once they were settled into the movie, Lord Tubbington jumped up and sat on Brittany's lap, she ran her hand through his fur.
After the movie finished, Brittany turned her head to find Santana asleep, buried into her chest. She ran her finger across her cheek a couple of times to gently wake her up. She placed a soft kiss to the tip of her nose.
"San." Brittany whispered. Santana began to stir. "You fell asleep on the couch again, let's go to bed."
Santana nodded and rubbed her eyes with balled up fists. Brittany helped her down the hall and into their bedroom. Santana was already in her pajamas so she went straight to bed.
Brittany got changed and brushed her teeth. She then locked up and tuned off the lights, said goodnight to Lord Tubbington then returned to their room. She climbed into bed with the brunette.
Brittany rolled up close to Santana and spooned her. She wrapped her arms around the shorter girl and placed a soft kiss to the back of her neck.
"Goodnight San." She whispered into her ear before closing her eyes and going to sleep.
