Chapter 5
Romantic Comedy's & Popping a Question
"Britt, you just sit down and let me handle dinner okay?" Santana smiled as she carried the two shopping bags into the kitchen. Brittany offered to help but Santana didn't let her, not wanting the blonde to peak inside of the bags. "Sit down" the latina said to the blonde while bending down to one of the bags grabbing two beers and putting it on the bar part of the kitchen. One of the perks of it being winter. The beer was ice cold. "You thought it all through didn't you?" Brittany smiled at the latina sitting down and grabbing the opener from the fruitbasket next to her, opening both of the beers. Santana took off her leather jacket placing it on the counter before leaning over to grab one of the now opened beers "you deserve a nice relaxing night after your first full week at the office" the latina said while hanging on the bar on her elbows softly bringing their bottles together "cheers" Brittany said softly.
Brittany sat there quietly just watching Santana stirring in a pan on the stove. "It smells amazing already" she said. The brunette looked up and just smiled at the blonde. "Wanna try?" Santana said while looking up. "Oe yes!" Brittany clapped her hands excitingly. Santana giggled while grabbing a spoon and scooped some from the pan. While holding her other hand under the spoon she walked over to the blonde and allowed her to taste the sauce. "Mmmm" Brittany moaned before Santana slowly pulled back her hand. 'Jeez Lopez. You're really fucked. You're becoming jealous of a bloody spoon. Get a grip. Say something, now!' She thought.
Her mind didn't find any words that seemed appropriate to say. So she decided on a smile and walked back to the kitchen stove. A few minutes later she was a little cooled down and said "Britt, dinner is ready. Do you want another drink? I have more beers!" Brittany got up from the barstool and walked to the still open grocery bag on the floor to grab the both of them a new beer. Santana was too busy with some plates to notice Brittany was grabbing the beers herself. "Britt wait!" She said as soon as she heared the blonde going through the bag. But it was too late. When she turned around she saw Brittany standing up straight again with a few dvd's in her hand. Brittany looked up to Santana who chuckled "Movie during dinner Miss Pierce?" She said while handing the girl a plate filled with Spaghetti. Brittany couldn't be more happy with her night so far. She hoped the latina knew what she was doing to her now.
"You're great company so far. I mean beer, pasta, romantic comedy's... are you even real?" The blonde asked the latina who didn't reply but just winked at her instead before bending over to grab two new beers and her own plate from the counter before following Brittany to the couch. When the two finished their meal they were half way through the movie "Friends With Benefits". Brittany got up to do the dishes. "Please sit down Santana. You did more than enough for me already. You make the best pasta I ever tasted!" Santana got up anyway. "You can do the dishes, I'll dry them for you. No arguing..." she said smiling. The movie was on pause while they stood there doing the dishes. Santana was rambling about the movie and they discussed how it was probably going to end.
Brittany laughed at some of her funny comments. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if she wasn't in the house on her own all those nights. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Santana asked "Have you ever been with a girl?" "Uhmm - what did you say?" Brittany asked not really sure if she heared the latina. "I asked if you've ever been with a girl before?" The latina asked with a small smile. 'Okay I did hear her correctly' Brittany thought to herself. "Uhm no I've never been with a girl before... I've had 2 boyfriends but nothing too serious." She said eventually. "Have you ever been with a guy?" She asked the latina as a comeback question.
The latina smiled at how open the blonde seemed with her kinda straight-forward question. "Nope never" she stated "I found out early that I was into girls. I was around 17 when I had my first girlfriend back in Ohio. We never got too serious either, she was too scared to come out and after a while that just tore us apart" Brittany nodded and asked "how did your parents take it? You coming out... you told me they were kinda shocked?" Santana's smile dropped a little but she seemed all good with the question. "Yea they were shocked to say the least, but mostly they just pretend I never came out. They just never ask if I'm seeing someone when we see eachother" she sighed and continued "ofcourse I wish it was different but it is what it is" she finished. Brittany smiled at her comforting and said "you should be proud of who you are, you are truly beautiful inside and out... any girl would be lucky to be with you" Santana smiled and put her hand on the blonde's which was on the counter next to the sink.
The movie had come to an end. As in most of the movies the characters had made up at the end and lived happily ever after. As the last song played Santana looked over to Brittany who was curled up in the corner of the couch. Brittany looked like she was in deep thoughts. It made the latina worry if she might be uncomfortable or maybe just tired from her first week at work. 'Should I ask?' The brunette thought. "Uhm Brittany, are you okay?" She said after a while. Brittany lifted her head from the side of the couch. "Yea yeah... I am, I was just thinking..." she said. "Do you wanna tell me what it is about? Santana asked softly. Brittany continued "Yes, I was just thinking back to this first week. And how comfortable I already feel around you.. and I was thinking about your current living situation..." Santana's eyes shot up to meet hers. "Wh-what about it?" The latina stuttered. "Well.. you told me you have to move out within this month right? And since I am mostly alone here..." the blonde finished looking away from the older latina blushing a little. "I know we've only met 4 days ago... but I feel comfy around you and I trust you in my parents place... I'd still have to check with Emily and ask her if she'd be okay with it - sorry I'm rambling I know" she said smiling looking back up to the latina "I guess what I'm trying to ask is, do you want to move in? We have a room left..." She said as she kept her eyes into the brunettes dark brown ones. When Santana didn't reply Brittany quietly added "say something Santana..." while thinking 'I hope I didn't go to far...'
"Wh-what did you say Britt?" Santana asked almost speechless. "I don't know... like you said we've just met. It's very sweet of you to care I just don't want to ruin anything. We're just getting to know eachother..." she stumbled. Santana was surprised by the blondes idea, but surprised in a good way.
She could see herself coming home with the blonde every night from work. Cooking, watching a movie... But what if Santana wanted more than just being friends with this girl? Sarah, her last girlfriend crossed her mind. She tried to shrug it off but she couldn't help it. Sarah broke her damn heart a little over a year ago. After that she was scared to let people in. In her heart that meant. She was perfectly capable of meaningless sex, as long as it didn't involve any kinds feelings.
Brittany nodded and said "I understand, but just consider it okay. I think I would be worried if you were to live in some dodgy creepy place with strangers..." Santana smiled at her last comment and simply said "You are very sweet Britt, I will consider it. We have 3 more weeks. It will be okay...". Santana wished she could've just said 'yes! I'll move in' but something stopped her. She would love for Brittany and herself to become roommates and even best friends but she couldn't deny the feelings in her stomach when the blonde looked at her. Did she want to find out if Brittany was into her? The latina didn't even know herself. Maybe she was scared of being hurt again. A broken heart was not what she was looking for at the moment.
