Friday 19th of February

That day was the girls' 6 month anniversary. They didn't celebrate Valentine's Day earlier in the week since they wanted to have one special day and celebrate both.

Like their one month anniversary, they had agreed to no presents. After Christmas and Brittany's birthday, they couldn't think of anything to give each other. They had agreed to go out for dinner and watch a movie to celebrate instead.

School had just been a normal day. They were only going to spend the evening celebrating.


Santana climbed out of her car and ran around to the passenger side to open Brittany's door for her.

"Thank you." Brittany said with a giggle.

"Anytime. Right so I'll pick you up at 7 and then we can go for dinner. Does that work for you?" Santana asked.

"That's perfect. See you at 7!" Brittany replied.

They shared a quick kiss and walked their separate ways to go home.

Santana walked up to her room and took a shower. She spent the whole shower singing along to her favourite Fleetwood Mac songs and thinking about her date with Brittany. She was excited.

She stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. She sat down at her vanity and blow dried her hair. She then curled it and applied a light layer of makeup.

She put on her underwear and stood in front of the wardrobe pondering what to wear. It was still quite cold out so she didn't want to wear a dress. She flicked through her large collection of clothes before settling on a pair of tight black pants and a white blouse. She put them on but felt something was missing. She found a large blue tie which she made into a bow to give the outfit a feminine touch. She threw on some black heels so she could be as tall as Brittany.

She grabbed her purse and put inside some money and her phone. Then she picked up a couple of blankets and a pair of converse and loaded up her car. She had an extra surprise for Brittany that technically didn't break their agreement.

She then walked over to Brittany's house.

"Hello, come on in." David Pierce greeted her at the door. "You look lovely."

"Oh, thank you." Santana said feeling flattered. "Is Britt ready yet?"

"Almost. I'm sure she's just putting on the finishing touches. Where are you off to tonight?" He enquired. They were stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting for Brittany.

"We're going to BreadstiX for dinner and then we're going to catch a movie. I've got a little surprise up my sleeve though." She winked at him.

"Ooo" he wiggled eyebrows. "Well I hope you have fun. What time will you be home?"

"I'm not completely sure, probably around 11. Is that alright?" She asked.

"Yes, of course. I just wanted to know so I know not to worry." He answered with a chuckle. He walked into the kitchen.

Brittany then wandered downstairs. She was dressed in black skinny jeans that hugged her perfectly and a loose fitting mustard jumper. Her hair was curled.

"Oh hi, I didn't know you had arrived." Brittany said as she sat down on the bottom step and put on some black heeled boots.

"Yep, I only got here a minute ago, don't worry." Santana reassured her. Brittany stood up and gave her a kiss.

"You look gorgeous." Brittany said with a smile as she looked the brunette over.

"As do you" Santana commented.

"Oh B, you might want to bring a spare change of shoes, something a little more comfortable." Santana said.

"Okay" Brittany drew out, she was a little confused but didn't want to question her girlfriends logic.

They then said their goodbyes and went out to Santana's car.

"To BreadstiX?" Santana asked as she strapped her seatbelt in.

"To BreadstiX!" Brittany said enthusiastically from her seat.

BreadstiX had always been Santana's favourite restaurant. She used to go with her parents but she only went for a special occasion. Now her and Brittany go for every celebration, anniversary or just for dinner sometimes. They love it there and always order the same dish.


"Hi, what's the occasion tonight?" Tony - the waiter - asked. He knew the young couple quite well because of their frequent trips to his place of work.

"It's a late valentine's date and our 6 month anniversary." Brittany explained as she followed him over to their usual booth in the corner.

"Oh well happy anniversary!" He smiled at them. "Is it the usual tonight?"

Both of the girls just nodded.

"So a chicken Parmesan, spaghetti meatballs, Dr Pepper and a lemonade?" He checked.

"Yep. Thanks Tony!" Santana said with a smile as he walked away.

He appeared a moment later with their drinks. They each sipped on their straws as they gazed at each other from across the table.

"So... 6 months hey?" Santana asked.

"Yeah I know. It's crazy! It feels like we've only known each other for a few days but it also feels like I've known you for years. I know that doesn't make much sense." Brittany explained.

"No, I agree. It feels strange." Santana replied. She took Brittany's hand and held it across the table. "You know B, if someone told me a year ago that I would find a girl I love and sustain a relationship for 6 months I would have thought they were crazy. But now, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Aww, that's so sweet. I wouldn't have it any other way either. And I love you too." She leant over the table and kissed the brunette.

"Sorry to interrupt ladies but you're food is here." Tony said as he cleared his throat. He placed down the two plates and received a thank you before walking off again.

"Happy 6 month anniversary baby." Santana said as she held up her glass.

"Happy anniversary." Brittany copied. They clinked their glasses together and ate their food.

They enjoyed the rest of their dinner and reminisced on all that had happened in the last 6 months. They also talked about their plans for the future.

Once they had finished up their dinner, Tony took away their plates and brought them a slice of cheesecake with two forks.

"Tony, we didn't order dessert yet." Santana said feeling confused.

"I know, I know you both love the cheesecake and you're celebrating so it's on the house. Enjoy." He explained.

The girls looked at each other hesitantly before tucking in and enjoying their favourite dessert. They fed each other bites of the cheesecake until it was all gone.

When the cheque arrived, Brittany snatched it up before Santana could reach it.

"It's my turn to pay, you paid last time." Brittany reasoned.

"Fine, but I'm getting us snacks for the movie." Santana agreed.

They then left the restaurant and went back into the car.

"You ready for the movie?" Santana asked as she sat in the drivers seat.

"Not yet." Brittany said. Santana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Brittany leant across the centre console and kissed her. "Now I'm ready!" She said.

Santana giggled and drove out of the car park. She continued driving but it wasn't the way Brittany was expecting to go.

"San, I know you're not lost but home is the other way and so is the movie theatre." She said in confusion. "Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise but I know you'll like it. Also your dad knows where we are so your parents aren't worrying." Santana explained.

Santana continued driving until they arrived at their destination. It was a huge field. She parked the car and Brittany saw a massive screen at the end of the car park. More cars followed them in and parked in rows around them. Santana switched off the engine and turned to face the blonde.

"It's a drive-in movie theatre. It's only set up this week so it thought it would be cute if we went." She explained.

"This is really cute. And it's still dinner and a movie like we agreed. Very clever Lopez." Brittany said with a giggle.

"Why thank you Pierce." She replied. She got out the car and opened Britt's door.

"Umm San, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to stay with your car at these things." Brittany said as she took Santana's hand and got out the car.

Santana laughed. "We are staying with the car." She walked around to the back and passed Brittany her spare shoes. They changed their footwear and Santana got the pillows and blankets out the trunk of her car. She took Brittany by the hand and walked round to the front. She climbed up onto the hood of the car and placed down some pillows. Brittany climbed up and sat next to her. They draped a blanket across them and they waited for the film to start.

"What film are we watching?" Brittany enquired.

"Notting hill." Santana replied.

"I've never seen it. Is it good?" Brittany further questioned.

"It's really good yeah. It's cute." Santana explained.

The film began to play and Brittany wiggled down and cuddled into the Latina's side. Tanned hands then slipped through blonde hair.

Part way through the film a boy selling snacks comes around. Santana paid for some popcorn and a pack of Dots. They shared the candy and watched the rest of the film.

When it ended, they packed up the blankets and got back in the car to drive home.

"So did you like the film?" Santana asked. She kept her eyes on the road but she could Brittany smile in her peripheral vision.

"Yeah, it was super cute." She replied. "Thanks for taking me. I really enjoyed the drive-in part too."

"You're welcome! It seemed like we shouldn't miss out."

They get back to Brittany's house and no one is awake. Since it was a Friday, Santana was allowed to stay the night. They crept up to bed - careful not to wake Brittany's parents - and got changed. They brushed their teeth then slid into the warm bed sheets.

They laid facing each other sharing a few lazy kisses.

"Happy anniversary and late valentine's Britt." Santana said with a smile.

"Happy anniversary and late valentine's to you too." They shared another kiss.

"Thanks for being my girlfriend. You're the best girlfriend ever." Brittany said with a yawn.

"Thanks for being my girlfriend. I think you're the best girlfriend ever." Santana countered.

They shared one last kiss before pulling each other closer and falling asleep in each other's arms.
