Santana turns her head as she hears her girlfriends sweet laugh near the bar and smiles lovingly as she watches her joke around and dance with Nickayla and Quinn, she turns her head as she feels a presence beside her and raises an eyebrow as she comes eye to eye with Sebastian Smythe.
''Sup Lopez?'' He asks smirking, Santana groans inwardly and sighs smiling overly friendly.
''Smythe.'' She greets the man owning the agency her ex girlfriend is working for right now.
''Who is the hottie Rivera and Fabray are dancing with?'' He asks not even trying to hide his interest as he leers at Brittany, Santana covers her growl with a cough and takes a sip of her flute champagne.
''One of my best models.'' She replies curtly digging her fingernails in the palm of her hand as she sees his lustful gaze trail over her girlfriends body knowing he has a boyfriend but also that he goes both ways.
''Your models?'' Sebastian asks laughing. ''Wouldn't be so sure Lopez, there are many agencies interested and only joining this party to talk to her and try to convince her to sign for them.''
Santana smirks inwardly turning her head to lock eyes with him and shrugs. ''I am not forcing her to stay with me, she is a free person and can decide herself where she wants to go.'' She takes the last sip of her champagne and smiles slightly. ''She already received a bunch of offers from agencies but all turned them down, I told her that she can decide herself so if you want to try your luck, go ahead.''
''For what does he need luck?'' Nickayla asks as she walks up to Santana as she sees her talk to one of their old college frenemies and owner of another agency, she turns to Sebastian and nods her head. ''Smythe.''
''Rivera.'' Sebastian greets disdain coating his voice, Santana turns to look at her and smiles slightly.
''Apparently a lot of other agencies I think Smythe included, only attended to this party to mingle with Britt and want to convince her to leave Snixx's agencies and join them.'' She quickly explains.
Nickayla laughs and shakes her head turning to Sebastian. ''San is right you definitely need luck with that, but I can assure you that Brittany will turn everyone down.''
''You are quite sure of yourself Lopez, you too Rivera.'' Sebastian replies shaking his head, Nickayla shrugs her shoulders and snickers.
''That girl is one of my best friends or well, she is like my little sister.'' She tells him. ''She only joined San's agency because I convinced her to try out and San goes in on her wishes which many agencies won't do, Britt won't leave Snixx's because one.''
She runs her hand through her hair and shrugs. ''I am there and she only agreed to try it out if that meant me being her shooting partner.'' She thanks the bartender as he hands her the drink Santana ordered for her and takes a sip while locking eyes with Sebastian. ''Two she is happy where she is now and often told us that no matter how much others offer, she won't even consider it. She is free to go wherever she wants, but I can assure you that she will blow everyone off.''
''We will see about that.'' Sebastian replies smirking as he sees the blonde walking towards them with Quinn. ''Watch and learn ladies.'' He walks around Santana not noticing Santana and Nickayla exchanging amused glances and walks up to the beautiful tall blonde. ''Well hello Fabray.''
Quinn turns to the voice interrupting her conversation with Brittany and sighs as she sees Sebastian walking towards them. ''Smythe.'' She greets curtly, Sebastian rolls his eyes and turns to Brittany holding out his hand.
''Well hello beautiful, I don't think we met yet.''
Brittany raises an eyebrow alarm bells immediately going off in her head as she hears Quinn's curt reply and Nickayla and Santana watching them disdain clear in their eyes and slowly shakes his hand. ''Hi?''
''I am Sebastian Smythe the owner of Smythe's dream girls agency.'' Sebastian tells her with a kind smile. ''Are you open for a bit of talking?''
Brittany hums running a hand through her hair and sighs. ''Is it about another offer?'' She asks getting sick of all agencies trying to offer her a better contract. ''I don't mean to sound harsh but you are the sixth agency trying to convince me your agency is better as Snixx's is.'' She tells him shrugging.
''You have talent Brittany.'' Sebastian tells her deciding to forgo small talk. ''I am sure what Santana is offering you is good, but other agencies are even better.''
Brittany smiles in amusement and tilts her head. ''Oh yeah?'' She asks. ''What exactly do you think Santana is offering me and what exactly do you think I would need to change my mind and agency?'' She asks him as she locks eyes with her girlfriend over his shoulder making it look like she is still looking at him.
''Just like I said, I am sure Santana's offer is good. But I am offering you to double everything she offers you.'' Sebastian tells her with a sigh noticing her being quite absent in their conversation, Brittany blinks slowly as she sees the three woman behind him laugh softly and looks at him in amusement.
''You don't know what she offers me but you immediately decide to double it.'' She states, she shakes her head in amusement and smiles slightly. ''Something tells me this isn't about me but more about you trying to get back at Santana for something and instead of being professional you do what you think is best and ask her new model who is currently busy making a name for herself to join your agency so her agency will drop down and yours will slide up the list.''
She smiles slightly as she sees his eyes slightly widening knowing she is right and shakes her head. ''Sorry Mr Smythe, but I am not interested in changing my agency at all. I am happy where I am at now and no offer will change my mind.'' She shrugs her shoulders and smiles kindly. ''Now if you will excuse me, I need a drink.''
She walks past him and locks eyes with Nickayla leaning against the bar beside Santana close enough to feel her warmth but not close enough to make it obvious. ''What is the deal with him?'' She asks in a hushed whisper as she sees him turning around and walking over to them.
''Old college frenemy, San's agency got more attention than his and he got back at her by signing bitchface to his agency after she broke San's heart.'' Nick quickly explains.
Santana bites her lip knowing now that her girlfriend knows what the deal is between them and Smythe that she won't be nice the second time she will turn him down, she leans against the bar holding up a finger to order a round of drinks for them as he walks over to them again and sighs as she sees his smirk.
''Brittany was it right?'' Sebastian asks as he stops in front of the four woman sitting at the bar, he smiles as she turns to him humming softly and crosses his arms in front of his chest. ''Forget about me telling you that I will double Santana's offer, you will be the first model of my agency who can decide her contract herself. You can decide the hours you will work, the pictures that you will take and the money you will get.''
Brittany shakes her head and chuckles. ''Still not interested.''
Sebastian's eyebrows raise in surprise and throws a glare at the three woman standing beside the taller blonde as they chuckle in amusement. ''You what? I just offered you an amazing opportunity and you won't take it?!'' He asks shocked.
''Yeah I think I just told you that now didn't I?'' Brittany asks with a sigh as she notices other guests turning to look at them the second they heard Sebastian raise his voice and turns back to him. ''Look ever since I arrived at the party about six agencies came over to me and offered to sign me, I told all of them that I am not interested and they accepted that. You didn't accept the first time I declined your offer and made it a better one thinking I would take that.''
She crosses her arms in front of her chest leaning back against the bar and sighs. ''I know some other interested agencies and the ones I already turned down are listening to our conversation too because you just raised your voice and captured their interest, I will tell you all why I decline every offer and will decline the ones coming in today, next month, next year just all of them.''
She mentions her hand to Quinn, Santana and Nickayla while keeping her eyes locked with Sebastian and shrugs. ''These three amazing ladies are not only a part of the agency, one of them is like a sister to me also my family and the other two quickly became friends.'' She starts. ''The woman I honorary call my sister is also my shooting partner for all duo shoots I am in, I only signed the contract with Snixx's agency after she reasured me that whenever there is a shoot for two models and I am the one requested Nickayla will automatically join me.''
''I decided to try my luck in this branch after reassuring myself that I get to work with one of the most important people in my life, if it wasn't for Nick already working as a model and asking me to join her I would have never even considered trying it out.'' She nods her head to Santana and smiles slightly. ''I don't do this job for the fame or for the money, I do it because I like it and I like it because Santana accepted my wishes and makes sure that Nickayla is by my side most of the shootings I do.'' She takes the drink Quinn holds out for her and takes a sip.
''With that being said, all offers coming my way no matter how amazing they sound will all be declined because there is one thing Santana does that none of you will accept.''
''And that is?'' Sebastian asks raising an eyebrow.
''Keeping it family friendly.'' Brittany replies without hesitation. ''I heard a lot about your agency and I know you are focused on fame and money, Santana offered me a contract that allows me to be home with my five year old a lot more than all of you would ever offer me. She doesn't complain whenever I call in shortly before I have to arrive at the agency because he is sick and makes sure I am home for the weekend and are off the second school is over, she didn't even utter a word the day we were supposed to shoot a deadline shoot for a major brand and just called them telling them there was a change of plans and that an other model took my place.''
She locks eyes with Sebastian and shrugs. ''You can tell me all you want, but that is one thing none of you will do because you are afraid calling shoots off would damage your image.'' She tells him, she nods her head to Santana and smiles. ''Santana doesn't care about that, she will sit through them complaining about not getting the pictures with the requested model and will make sure that they will still be happy in the end with amazing pictures just not with the model they requested.''
''Family will always come first.'' Santana murmurs shrugging.
''Give it up Sebastian.'' One of the owners of an other agency calls out. ''You can try all you want but I think it's clear that Brittany will always be one of the Snixx girls same goes for Nickayla.''
Santana glances at the time as she feels the girls standing near her shiver the second a cold burst of wind hits them and clears her throat reaching up to ring the bell hanging on the bar. ''And that is my cue to end this years annual Snixx summer party!'' She calls out. ''Thank you all for joining us on this amazing summer day, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we enjoyed dancing, drinking and talking to all of you but it's close to midnight and it's getting cold.''
She glances at her models scattered around the beach some of them wearing a thin jacket and smiles. ''My models will change now and are off the clock, you all are welcome to stay and party a bit longer the bar has an open end.'' She turns to the girls standing beside her as everyone wishes her a good night and thank her for the party and smiles. ''I don't know what you girls are thinking, but I am ready to go home and sleep.''
''I agree S.'' Quinn murmurs softly smiling as Nickayla hums in agreement cuddling into her side as the wind picks up, Brittany nods her head ignoring Sebastian still standing near them and smiles.
''Yeah I am ready to go home too.''
''Brittany.'' Sebastian calls out as they walk off, he holds out his card and winks. ''If you ever change your mind or.'' He glances at Santana and smirks. ''Santana decides to not pay for any shit just like she did to her ex, hit me up.''
Santana swiftly turns on her heels glaring at him and raises an eyebrow. ''I am sorry, I decided to what?''
''Oh come on Lopez, everyone who knows the both of you also knows you dropped her ass the second you gave birth to your daughter.'' Sebastian exclaims scoffing.
Quinn places her hand on her best friends back as she sees her tense and glares at Sebastian. ''Never spit out things you think are facts without knowing shit Smythe.'' She warns.
''Bitch never deserved Santana and she sure as hell doesn't deserve the amazing little Lopez walking on this planet.'' Nickayla agrees. ''San did the right thing and had to do it sooner, Danielle only used Santana for her money so yeah no wonder that she left the second little Lopez became Santana's number one priority San acted like every mother would but Dani?'' She locks eyes with Sebastian and scoffs. ''Bitch even forgets her own daughters birthday and only calls right after she gave an interview to make it look like she is a great mother.''
Brittany reaches out pulling Santana and Quinn towards her as she sees her girlfriend tremble and glares at Sebastian noticing Puck walk up to them frowning. ''A mother always does what is best for their children, your model doesn't give shit about the little girl who would call her mom if she was around much. She was or still is a money loving whore and the second Santana's priorities became clear she broke up with her because she didn't get the things she wanted, I wouldn't walk around talking shit about Santana if I were you Smythe.''
Sebastian turns to her and raises an eyebrow. ''Is that a threat Brittany?''
''Nah it's just a warning.'' Brittany reassures shrugging. ''You know Nick and who her sister is, Nay's girlfriend is my cousin and I only have to make one call and all social media platforms will explode trending Snixx's agency and the woman who owns it.'' She tells him shrugging. ''Every agencies pride are their models, but the second it becomes clear that one of your models broke up with the mother of her child because she didn't get the money she wanted and also ignores said child your agency will drop down faster as you can refresh the list.''
Puck slides up behind Sebastian and pushes him softly smirking as he stumbles. ''You heard the ladies, get lost before I make sure Brittany will stand to her word Smythe.''
''Let's go home San.'' Brittany murmurs softly as she leads her to Puck's car with Quinn and Nickayla.
''That fucking asshole.'' Santana grumbles running her hand through her hair, Nickayla sighs sadly and pulls her in a hug.
''You know him S and he loves to use what hurt you the most against you, I know it sounds so easy coming from me because I have no idea what exactly you are feeling right now but try to not let him get you.''
Quinn hums in agreement and sighs. ''Nick is right San, he always tries this shit knowing exactly what gets to you and what not.''
Brittany just places her hand on the small of her girlfriends back silently telling her they will talk as soon as they get home and looks at both girls standing in front of them. ''Are you driving with us?'' She asks softly.
Quinn shakes her head and smiles slightly. ''Rach will pick us up, Nick will crash at our house tonight.'' She chuckles as her girlfriends car pulls up beside Puck's and smirks. ''Speak of the devil.''
Brittany laughs and pulls Nick in her arms to hug her, she kisses her cheek and smirks. ''You up to go jogging tomorrow afternoon?''
Nick nods her head and chuckles. ''Hell yeah, meet up at the park?''
Brittany nods her head pulling back and turns to Quinn also hugging her and wishing her a good night, she smiles as Puck opens the door for her before she can even reach out to grab the handle and thanks him softly sliding into the car as Santana says goodbye to both girls.
She slides over so Santana can sit next to her and pulls out her phone scrolling down her contacts, she taps Heather's name and writes her a message.
To Heath: Hey Cuz I know original planning was both kids crashing at your house tonight, but San had a run in with Sebastian Smythe the owner of the agency her bitchy ex is working for now.. Any chance San and I can crash at your place too? I think San needs to be near Sof.
She chuckles as she immediately comes online reading her message and locks her phone as soon as she reads her message telling her to come over, she turns to her girlfriend as she slides into the car and reaches out squeezing her leg softly. ''Talk tonight?'' She asks softly as she sees the anger still clear on her face, she turns to Puck as she nods her head slowly intertwining their hands out of sight of the rear view mirror and bites her lip. ''Puck can you drop us off at Heath and Nay?''
''Sure can B.'' Puck tells her smiling as he pulls out of the parking lot, Brittany turns to Santana smiling as she sees her looking at her with an eyebrow raised and shrugs.
''We will crash at their place tonight, I think you need to see your little girl babe.'' She whispers softly so Puck doesn't pick up on their conversation, Santana smiles lovingly softly squeezing her hand and nods her head.
''Yeah that does sounds amazing, thank you Britt-Britt.'' She whispers softly, she locks eyes with her and smiles sheepishly knowing they planned a night alone. ''Sor..''
Brittany shakes her head and smiles slightly. ''Stop apologizing San, you have nothing to be sorry for okay?''
''But..''
''But nothing.'' Brittany states softly. ''You don't have to apologize for anything.'' She tells her softly, she looks outside as she feels the car halt and laughs as she sees Naya jogging out of the house towards Santana's side. She shakes her head laughing as she throws the door open and slides out of the car the second she pulls her out of the car and into a hug, she turns to Puck as she watches Naya pull Santana inside and quickly hugs him. ''Thanks Puck.''
''Anytime B, take care of our girl alright?'' Puck asks as he hugs her back, he laughs softly as he feels her tense and smirks. ''I might be dense, but not so dense Britt.''
Brittany pulls back a blush covering her cheeks and runs a hand through her hair. ''Please don't tell anyone, we were waiting to catch y'all together and planned the dinner at San's place Sunday to tell all of you.''
Puck nods his head and smiles. ''I won't tell anyone but I am happy for the both of you.'' He tells her softly, he hugs her again and pats her back. ''Go in B, I think she needs you just as much as she needs to feel Sof right now.''
Brittany hums softly wishing him a good night and walks towards the house after grabbing their purses, Puck runs his hand over his Mohawk and clears his throat. ''Hey B?'' He calls out.
Brittany turns on her heels and raises an eyebrow. ''Yes?''
''Promise me one thing?'' Puck asks as he opens his car door, Brittany tilts her head and shrugs.
''Depends on what I have to promise Puck.''
''Just.'' Puck pauses shrugging his shoulders and smiles slightly. ''Take care of San alright? I know her for a long time now and I never saw her so smitten before.''
Brittany drops her hand from the doorbell and nods her head smiling lovingly. ''That is one thing I will give you my word for Noah.'' She tells him. '' She glances back at her cousins house knowing her girlfriend is inside and smiles shyly. ''I love her you know, not only San but also Sof the two of them and my son are the reason I am finally enjoying my life like I have to.''
''I can see the love B.'' Puck reassures with a loving smile. ''Alright I will let you go to them, see you Sunday?''
Brittany nods her head watching him jump into his car and turns around reaching out to ring the doorbell, she jumps as the door swings open before she can ring it and bites her lip as Heather looks at her with a shit eating grin.
''You love her?''
''You really eavesdropped on our conversation?'' Brittany asks raising an eyebrow, Heather smiles sheepishly and shrugs.
''You took to long so I wanted to open the door, couldn't help but hear Puck's question tho.''
Brittany sighs walking into the house and pulls her with her into the kitchen, she closes the door behind her and turns to look at her leaning against the kitchen counter. ''I do.'' She holds up her hand and sighs. ''And before you will squeal and pull all attention on us just don't, we both wanted to tell you all this Sunday so I will ask you the same thing we asked Nay and Puck..''
''Nay knew?!'' Heather asks shocked, Brittany laughs and runs a hand through her hair humming softly.
''She knew first, girl could be a damn detective. But please keep it to yourself till this Sunday? The kids wanted to announce it and I don't want to take their joy, they love knowing they are the ones announcing that S and I are dating.''
Heather slowly nods her head and smiles slightly. ''I will, just one question?''
''Shoot.''
''You happy?'' Heather asks softly locking eyes with her cousin, Brittany keeps their eyes locked and slowly nods her head with a small grin.
''The happiest I have ever been Heath.''
