Santana has been bringing Brittany to and from work for almost 2 weeks now. They leave early to go to the Coffee Bean to grab some coffee in the morning and Santana takes the long way back to Brittany's house in the evenings so that they don't have to stop their conversation so quickly. Brittany did notice the longer route to her house but she didn't say a word. These girls have found a routine that they both really enjoy. It's Thursday evening and Santana was a little quiet driving Brittany home tonight, she really hasn't said much. Brittany noticed that she was doing all the talking so she stopped for a minute to see if Santana would say anything to her and when Santana didn't Brittany spoke.

"San, are you okay?

Santana raises her eyebrow at the new nickname and nervously blurts out,

"Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

Brittany just looks at her with a sad look on her face.

"I don't think I can, Ms Murphy told me yesterday that she was busy on Friday night, she never told me what she was doing so i don't really want to ask because she does so much for me."

Santana let a little smirk form on her lips."Britt can you do me a favor and just check with her, maybe she is doing something that won't take all night. That's if you want to go to dinner with me."

"Of course I do, I think that it would be so much fun to hang out and have dinner with you. I can't believe my luck that a new friend just came to my rescue." Brittany says in such an excited tone in her voice.

Santana just sighs about Brittany's friend comment and just agrees with Brittany while she was getting out of the car.

Twenty minutes later Santana's phone rings and sees the blonde's name come across the screen. She quickly swipes at the phone to answer the call.

"Hello?"

" You are one sneaky woman, Santana!"

"Britt, I have no idea what you are talking about!" Santana smiles as she talks to Brittany

"When did you talk to Ms. Murphy about watching Brett?

"um, I asked her last week about it"

"What? San! Last week, why did you wait so long to ask me?" Brittany says through the phone.

" I wasn't sure what you were going to say when I asked you so I just kept chickening out."

Brittany and Santana talked on the phone for about an hour about random stuff but before the conversation was over, Brittany asked about what she should bring with her to work to wear for dinner tomorrow night? Santana told her to just dress casually and that she would pick her up from work at their usual time.

Friday Morning

Santana didn't know why she was so nervous, she is just picking Brittany up to go to work, like she has been doing for weeks. Santana is just excited for the day to end and for the evening to begin. Brittany quickly opens the back passenger side door to throw a duffle bag and her briefcase in the car and cheerfully greeted Santana.

"Morning San!"

"Hi Brittany, TGIF!"

"Oh I am so glad to get this week over with, work has been so tiring. The firm hired a new younger attorney that was still learning the ropes and had some issues adjusting to the firm so she has been asking me for help since she found out that I majored in pre-law."

Santana drops Brittany off at work and makes her way into work. She wanted to distract herself from thinking about her upcoming dinner with Brittany. Well Santana got her wish for a distraction, because she has been non stop with patients all day. Crying babies, biting children, snarky adults have filled her office today. So when Santana was in her office getting ready for dinner with Brittany, she was thankful that tonight was the start of the weekend.

Santana is parked outside Brittany's office waiting for her when she notices Quinn's car was in the parking lot. She was wondering why she was at that office. Just as she was looking at Quinn's car a knock was at her window.

"What are you doing here Santana, coming to see me?" Quinn says with a smirk on her face.

"No Q, I am here to pick up a friend of mine. We are going to have dinner tonight at Breadstix. What the heck are you doing here?"

"I work here you idiot."

"I thought you worked at Smith, Taylor & Johnson Law Firm. I thought that was what you told me."

"I told you I work for Smithson, Taylor & Johnston Law Firm. See San this is what I am talking about you never listen to me. Oh San hold on a minute I want you to meet someone. HEY B COME HERE!!' Quinn yells.

Who comes walking into view is Brittany. "Santana this is Brittany, Brittany this is Santana, the one that I have been talking about." Quinn introduces the woman.

All Brittany can do is laugh. Telling Quinn that Santana was the woman that helped her a couple weeks ago when she fell and sprained her ankle. Quinn's shocked face made Santana realize that Brittany was the woman in Quinn's office that she was trying to set her up with.

After a few minutes of chatting with Quinn, they wished her a good evening and weekend and made their way to dinner. Brittany was asking Santana about her day and whether she was looking forward to the weekend. Santana on the other hand, got really nervous after leaving Quinn. She wanted everything to be perfect for this date.

Conversation during dinner was light and when the appetizers and drinks came Brittany spoke,

"Santana, is this a date?"

"Um, (long pause) it is whatever you would like it to be." Santana says with a nervous tone in her voice.

"Well … I ordered shrimp, so it's definitely a date." Brittany replies with a smile.

Dinner was great and so was their conversation. Santana noticed something different about Brittany, she seemed more relaxed and free with her conversation. Santana and Brittany conversations always seemed to flow smoothly but that was just kinda getting to know what you like type of things, this was more about family life and how did you get to where you are in life, type of talk.

Brittany told Santana now her parents were not in the picture and that she has to take care of Brett for the time being. She didn't tell Santana why her parents weren't around, that was more like date #5 material. But she did tell Santana that she dropped out of school because of partying and hanging around the wrong people. This news surprised Santana so much because the woman that she is looking at now does not seem to be that type of person. Brittany mentioned that she had to clean up her act for her brother and she had mentioned that was the best thing she ever did. Santana on the other hand mentioned that she lost her parents to a car accident and that she doesn't have much family around her. The conversation moved to Quinn, someone they both had in common. Santana tells Brittany how Quinn and her met in high school, that she was the first person that she came out too, how they were on the same cheerleading team together, how they "ruled" the school and how Quinn was a royal pain in her ass but she loved her anyway. Brittany on the other hand met Quinn like over a month again, she seemed overwhelmed being at this firm and that her best friend was gorgeous and that Brittany should let her set Brittany up with her best friend.

"I can't believe that you were the woman that Quinn was trying to set me up with? It's funny how things happen!" Santana says still reliving the scene with Quinn earlier in the parking lot.

" I will admit that I told Quinn I thought she was crazy to try to set up with someone she only knew for a couple of weeks." Santana said to Brittany as they were making their way into the movie theater.

While at the movies Santana and Brittany chose seats in the back of the theater because Brittany had mentioned she loved sitting in the back so that she could see people's relations when they were watching the movie.

The lights lowered and the movie preview started to play and Santana felt a little more confident so she tried to take Brittany's hand to hold it and whispered, " Is this okay?" Brittany shook her head, raised the arm rest that was between them, lifted Santana's arm and put it around her shoulders and snuggled into Santana's side. And with a small voice Brittany told Santana, "Now that is better".

The movie was just okay, Santana really didn't know what was going on since she was distracted by Brittany through the entire thing, every time Brittany would laugh, move a little bit or really just breathe Santana would just get distracted by how good that woman smelled, how cute her laugh was and how every so often when Brittany shifted in her chair she would inch closer to Santana's side.

It's just about midnight and Santana is driving Brittany back home and is thinking to herself if it is too soon to make plans for another date this weekend. Santana pulls into Brittany's driveway and tells Brittany that she had a great time. Brittany agrees that the date was great, says thank you with a huge smile on her face and goes in to kiss Santana on the cheek. Santana felt like a lighting bolt went through her whole body when she received that kiss from Brittany. Brittany whispers a "thanks again San" and reaches for the door handle. Before she is able to open it Santana grabs Brittany's wrist and says, "Hey Britt, can I take you and Brett out for lunch after his soccer game tomorrow?"

"Only if you come and watch his game with me?" Brittany says, giving Santana a wink.

Brittany opens the passenger side door and heads into the house, leaving Santana memorized by her.

The whole ride back home Santana knows she is in trouble because she is falling fast.
