Thursday 16th of September

"And then she kissed you?" Quinn asked, listening intently to her best friends recall the events of the day before.

"Yep. And then she kissed me!" Santana said with a huge smile. Quinn let out a little squeal of excitement while she patted Santana on the back.

"So I guess she likes girls then" Quinn jokes and the girls laughed together.

"Yep. She told me she's Bi" Santana stated. The lunch room started filling up and the topic of conversation changed. Puck strutted his way over and dropped himself into the chair next to Quinn, leaning in for a peck.

"Eww! MY EYES" Santana screamed out in fake agony. Although Puck was a bit of a douche, he made her best friend happy and that's all she wanted for Quinn.

The couple gave Santana an unamused stare before going back to gazing into each other's eyes. Santana heard a small giggle she recognised from behind her and spun her head around so fast she could have gotten whiplash.

"Brittany! Hey!" She said a little tooenthusiastically.

"Hi Santana. Mind if I sit?" The blonde asked gesturing to the empty seat next to Santana.

"No, please do" Santana replied, her eyes fixed on Brittany, eager to have any kind of interaction with her.

Quinn stared at her Latina friend with a knowing smirk which Santana shrugged off with her signature 'Lima Heights Glare'. Anyone else would shudder at the brunettes face but Quinn has grown accustom to it over the years.

The lunch conversation mainly consisted of plans for the week and the latest school gossip. Santana blanked out most of the conversation as all she could think about was Brittany.

The bell rang and everyone evacuated the cafeteria. Brittany hung about for a second to speak to Santana.

"So I'm home alone again for a bit today. Do you want to come over again?" Brittany asked.

Santana smiled and said "I would love to Britt". Brittany chuckled and Santana just looked at her with confusion until she realised what she had said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say Britt, I meant Brittany" Santana shook her head in annoyance with herself. Her gaze fell to the floor.

Brittany placed her fingers under Santana's chin and tilted her head up so they made eye contact. "I like the nickname... San" she replied timidly. The girls shared a smile and just stood there gazing at each other.

"Girls, you have class to get to" Mrs Pillsbury said sweetly. The girls broke their eye contact and went their separate ways so they wouldn't be late.


The drive home was fun. The radio was playing but the girls just talked over it. They found each other more interesting than the latest celebrity scandal.

Once they arrived home, Santana remembered her parents wouldn't be home until later that evening so she had to make dinner for herself. She didn't bother letting her parents know she was at Brittany's since they wouldn't know she wasn't home.

After taking off her shoes and jacket and dumping her backpack, she followed Brittany around the house as she gave her the full tour.

The final stop of the tour was Brittany's bedroom. The plain white door was marked with a baby blue letter B. The blonde twisted the handle to reveal her double bed in the centre of the room, a desk off to the right side. Posters and pictures covered the left wall. The TV hung on the wall opposite the bed and a wardrobe sat next to that. Beside the desk was another door which lead to the en suite bathroom.

The wallpaper was baby blue with little pink flowers. The bed sheets were colourful and a stuffed animal of a duck sat in between the two pillows. The whole room was very Brittany. There was no other way to describe it.

Santana stood in the doorway, taking in the whole scene. The last thing she noticed was a cushion on the bottom of the bed that looked like it was made of fur. Then that cushion moved and she got a little scared.

"Ugh Britt. Why's that moving?" She asked, pointing to the fur, genuinely scared of what the answer might be.

"Oh! That's just Lord Tubbington" she replied with a giggle.

"Lord whaty who?" Santana asked, even more confused.

"He's my cat." She explained and walked over to pet him. He purred at her touch and Santana relaxed a little.

Santana thought that was the fattest cat she had ever seen but decided to keep her mouth shut so she didn't offend Brittany.

"He's sweet" she said as she walked over and started to stroke his fur. Brittany looked at Santana with admiration.

"He doesn't normally act nice to strangers. You must be special" The blonde stated while smiling at the interaction of her new friend and her cat.

Lord Tubbington then got up and left the room, leaving the two girls alone.

Brittany sat down on her bed and crossed her legs underneath her. She patted the space next to her and Santana copied Brittany's actions so they were sat facing each other.

"So... about yesterday" Brittany started, feeling rather awkward about the whole situation. "I'm sorry that I didn't warn you about how I was feeling. I just kind of sprung it on you." She said feeling guilty.

"Woah, stop. Wait a minute" Santana argued. "You didn't spring it on me. I had enough time to get out if I wanted to." She pointed out.

"So you wanted me to kiss you?" The blonde questioned.

"Well yeah. I guess. I mean. I'm glad you did" Santana replied, a smile crept onto her face. Brittany smiled back.

"So you wouldn't mind if I did it again?" Brittany asked leaning forward a little so their bodies were closer together.

"Not at all. You're a great kisser" Santana said in a low, raspy voice as their lips connected for the second time.

It started off sweet and innocent, kind of like a repeat of their first kiss but without the surprise. Then things got a little heavier. Brittany pushed Santana gently on the shoulder to get her to lie down. She then laid down next to her and reconnected their lips once again. Soon tongues were involved and teeth were nibbling. Hands were tangled in hair and cupping cheeks. There was so much passion and emotion behind the kiss and both of the girls felt it.

They carried on like this for a few minutes, stopping only to refill their lungs. Then they heard the front door open and close. The girls jumped apart and quickly fixed their hair and wiped their mouths. They grabbed Brittany's laptop and pretended to be scrolling thought the internet.

"Brittany! Oh! hi Santana dear" Susan Pierce said, a little surprised to see her next door neighbour in her daughter's bedroom.

"Hello Mrs Pierce" Santana said with a charming smile she reserved only for parents or teachers she wanted to please.

"It's Susan dear." She said with a motherly smile. "Are you staying for dinner? There's plenty to go round"

Santana glanced and Brittany who nodded, giving her confirmation that she wasn't intruding. "Yes please Susan, that would be lovely!" She said politely.

Brittany and Santana got up and followed Susan down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen to find David and Zoe already at the table.


"Hello Santana!" David greeted her with a smile as she walked towards the table.

"Hello" she replied.

Then she felt two little arms wrap around her hips. She looked down to see Zoe smiling up at her.

"Hello S...stana... sanata" Zoe struggled to say her name.

"Hey kiddo!" She smiled and crouched down at the young blonde. She whispered in her ear "You can call me Tana if you want."

"Okay Tana" she giggled and climbed back into her seat. Santana took her place at the table, next to Brittany and opposite Susan.

Dinner was delicious; they had salmon with rice and vegetables. The chat was kept to easy conversation such as school and Cheerios. But Santana enjoyed spending time with the Pierce's. They were a lovely family.


"I really should get going" Santana said as she stood up from the table. She thanked Susan and David for having her over and for cooking dinner. They both agreed she was welcome anytime.

"Bye Tana" Zoe shouted as she ran towards the Latina. She jumped and ended up in Santana's arms.

"See you soon kiddo!" She said to Zoe with a wink and smile. She let the girl back down to floor and grabbed her school bag. Brittany offered to walk her back so she agreed.

"You're family are lovely Britt" Santana said with a genuine look of happiness on her face. Brittany smiled back at her.

"They seem to like you too!" The blonde exclaimed.

When they reached Santana's doorstep they stood there smiling at each other for a moment before Brittany leant it to connect their lips in a soft peck. It was quick but still had meaning and feeling.

"Goodnight, Britt Britt" Santana said

"Night, San" Brittany replied

They shared a smile and one more peck on the lips before Brittany walked away and Santana walked though her door.

Santana loved the feeling of Brittany kissing her and she wanted to feel it again so badly.


Next time: Their first date!
