Thanks for the reviews last chapter. Again I've made this story very similar to the Voice, but I know that some parts aren't like the show or I just changed them so just bare with me if you're a fan of the Voice. And I'll try to update again this weekend, but I've got several other stories that I'm also working and have to update this weekend on so no promises.
Brittany's nervous about being in a room alone with Santana. There's no camera's at today's practice that will be tomorrow. She doesn't know if she'll be able to control herself. For whatever reason she's ubber attracted to the Latina, but figures if she kisses her Santana will most likely freak out. No she doesn't want to scare someone so talented away.
"Um…..hi," Santana says tentatively walking in.
"Santana come in." Brittany says trying not to stare at her boobs.
"No cameras?" Santana asks.
"Tomorrow this first rehearsal is just to get to know you." Brittany says. "Tomorrow you'll show me how much work you've done on the song, meet the celebrity mentor and talk about competition against Rory." she explains.
"You're having me go against him?" Santana asks.
"Yes I don't know why I picked him. He was here right before you and honestly I don't know what I was thinking when I picked him." Brittany tells her.
Santana can't help, but giggle at Brittany's comments. She's surprised at how down to earth the blonde seems not at all like she thought she'd be. She hopes she can hold off for two hours of trying to not kiss Brittany. The blonde is just so cute. And god the way she looks at her like she's the only woman in the world is causing Santana to ruin her panty.
"So you want me to beat him?" Santana asks just to make sure.
"Yes, I know you can do it." Brittany says motioning for Santana to sit next to her.
"Thanks for the support." Santana sweetly says sitting next to the blonde still hesitant.
"Well you're really one of the most talented people here. I know you're more talented than Blake." Brittany tells her.
Santana blushes at this comment.
"So tell me more about yourself." Brittany says crossing her legs as she looks at Santana.
"Well I've lived in New York City my whole life. Both my parents are surgeons and were always busy when I was growing up so my abuela raised me. I currently work as a waitress and live in a small studio apartment." Santana tells Brittany not telling her about how she's normally a bitch to everyone.
"That's all fine, but what I want to know is what makes you happy, said, etc." Brittany says having to look away from Santana's plump lips.
"I'm kind of a bitch, but around certain people I trust I'm kind, loyal and helpful. I like puppies and kids, but only ones that are well behaved." Santana sighs.
"You're really sweet I find it hard to believe that you're a bitch, but I'll trust you." Brittany says trying to think of what song to have her do. "Why did you pick me to be your coach?" she asks.
"Because you're talented and I knew you could help me with being able to move on stage." Santana says leaving out that she thinks Brittany is hot and has a crush on her.
"Thank you,"
For the next few minutes they sit in silence as Brittany tries to think of what song Santana should sing.
"I was thinking of Kelly Clarkson's Catch My Breath." Brittany says.
"I like that song." Santana says.
"Good, now let's figure out what you're going to wear." Brittany says grabbing Santana's hand.
They somehow end up in each other's arms staring into each other's eyes. Brittany blushes some hair behind Santana's ear. They're about to lean in and kiss when Brittany pulls back.
"We can't do this." she whispers.
"Why not?" Santana asks a little shocked that her blonde idol seems to share her feelings.
"I'm your coach." Brittany whispers.
Santana toes the carpet really wanting to kiss the blonde.
"Please," she whispers.
"In any-"
Brittany is cut off by Santana's lips pressing against hers. It takes less than a second before she's kissing the Latina back.
"No one can know." Brittany whispers when they finally break apart.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Santana walks onto the stage and is star struck Rory next to her is drooling. Taylor Swift is standing next to her coach. And her coach is still Brittany Pierce. She didn't dream it. She actually kissed Brittany yesterday and will defiantly be kissing again.
"Santana this is Taylor." Brittany says smiling as she winks at the Latina.
"Wow," is all Santana can say.
"Yeah wow," Rory adds though Brittany just ignores him.
"I'm very excited to see what two you can do." Taylor says giving Santana a hug.
"This is by far the best day of my life." Santana says as the coaches go sit down.
"I second that." Rory says wondering how he got so lucky as to be surrounded by three beautiful women.
Taylor chuckles and Brittany smiles at the Latina really wanting to kiss her.
"Okay so let's hear the song thus far." Brittany says.
Santana and Rory start singing Catch My Breath and Brittany is blown away by Santana's part of the rendition. Though she does make a mental note that Santana isn't dancing or really moving while Rory has a bit more movement.
"That was amazing." Taylor says as soon as they finish.
"Vocally it was simply amazing." Brittany says to Santana. "But dance wise it could use a lot of work."
"Yes I would love to see you move around the stage more." Taylor agrees. "Not a whole lot, but some."
"As for you Rory your singing needs some work. At parts you were pushing to try and sing higher and it just sounded bad." Brittany says and Taylor nods in agreement.
Over the next hour Brittany with Taylor's input helps Santana come up with some movements while she sings and helps Rory sing the higher parts better.
"Thanks," Santana says when their time is up.
"Yes thank you." Rory says.
"Do those things and I'm sure you'll go far." Taylor says giving Santana a goodbye hug before giving Rory a small hug.
"Thanks for all the help." Santana says stepping back and glancing over at Brittany.
"See you later Britt." Taylor says giving her friend a hug.
With that Santana leaves the studio and is about to get in her car when a black SUV pulls up next to her and Brittany rolls down the window.
"Get in," Brittany says.
Santana looks around before opening the door and jumping in. Brittany takes off not stopping until they reach a small hidden park. Santana's about to ask where they are when suddenly Brittany's lips are on hers.
"I've wanted to do that since you walked in." Brittany says as they pull apart to breath.
"I really like you." Santana breaths.
"Well that's good since I really like you." Brittany says pulling her into another kiss.
"I'm nervous about the competition though. I don't want you picking me just because we like each other romantically." Santana says following Brittany to the backseat.
"Hey," Brittany says pulling Santana into her. "I promise that when I'm sitting in that coaches seat I'm nothing, but fare okay." she says looking Santana in the eyes.
"Okay," Santana repeats putting her head on Brittany's shoulder.
Brittany runs her hand up and down Santana's arm. They just lay in the back of Brittany's SUV in silence. Both just enjoying the others company.
"I don't want to leave you and go home, but I have to." Santana says knowing she has to practice more.
"Go on a date with me after this first round of knockouts." Brittany asks holding onto Santana.
"Really?" Santana asks lifting her head up.
"Of course silly, so will you?" Brittany asks.
"Yes," Santana says leaning in to kiss her.
"Good," Brittany breaths.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Our last pair of this first round of Knockouts is from Team Brittany, Rory Flanagan and Santana Lopez singing Catch My Breath by Kelly Clarkson. Here are Rory and Santana." Carson says.
Brittany's nervous for her new blossoming relationship with the Latina and hopes she out performs Rory. Santana starts singing first.
I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Rory steps in and starts singing.
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith, karma comes around
I will spend the rest of my life
Santana basically stage shoves Rory out of the way and picks up the next part. This causes Brittany to giggle.
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Rory takes the next part.
Catching my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
Santana picks up the next part.
You helped me see
The beauty in everything
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Rory messes up on the next part.
Catching my breath, getting it go
Turning my check for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Catch my beath
Santana cringes slight, but continues the song.
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
Rory gulps as he sings his last part.
Catching my breath, letting it go
Turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life
I won't be told what's supposed to be right
Santana takes the last part.
Catch my breath, no one can hold me back
I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath
Catch my breath, catch my breath, won't let them get me down
It's all so simple now
"What a way to end the first Battle Rounds." Carson says standing in between the two singers. "Adam why don't you start off."
"Well as sad as it is cause Rory was really holding his own until the second to the last verse you sang. It just didn't sound right." Adam says feeling bad for the young man. "Santana that was an amazing performance. You defiantly are a contender to win it all. I think the choice is defiantly you."
"Mike," Carson says.
"Rory you need to build up your confidence more. Santana you won, but you need to work on your dancing." Mike tells them.
"Blake," Carson says.
"Santana that was amazing and you blew Rory out of the song. Rory better luck next time." Blake says nodding.
"Okay Brittany your up then chose who's the winner." Carson says.
"Rory it just wasn't up to Santana's par. Santana amazing singing we'll work on the dancing next." Brittany says. "Santana you won this knockout."
After much cheering things settle down again.
"With that the first set of knockouts are complete. Are teams now stand as this." Carson says. "Team Adam stands as thus Mercedes beat Amber, Danielle beat Crystal, Eric beat Dustin, Blaine beat Sherri, Frank beat Steve and Jameka beat Dan. Adam used his two steals on Thomas from team Mike and Sarah from team Blake."
Adam stands up taking a bow very proud of his team.
"For team Mike: Rachel beat Zack, Jessica beat Thomas, Anna beat Daisy, Bates beat Mary, Kurt beat Andrew and Sheldon beat Nic. Mike used his two steals on Kali from team Brittany and Dustin from team Adam." Carson says as Mike stands up waving the crowd. "Team Blake stands as thus Sam beat Barry, Hannah beat Larry, Quinn beat Clayton, Skylar beat Wendy, Thom beat Sarah and Kaitlin beat Becca. Blake used his two steals on Sherri from team Adam and Francis from team Brittany."
Blake makes several faces over at Adam needing to beat Adam again this season.
"And our final team is team Brittany: Santana beat Rory, Kitty beat Kali, James beat Francis, Marcus beat Nicole, Alex beat Andy and Tom beat Wes. Brittany used her two steals on Clayton from team Mike and Wendy from team Blake." Carson tells everyone as Brittany smiles into the camera. "Tune in next week to see who makes it to the live rounds."
