Chapter 6
Phone Numbers & Great Advice
"Hmm hmmm okay" Brittany nodded with a small smile. She was happy to hear that the latina would even consider moving in with her. She was aware that it was a strange question to ask a brand new collegue. But she felt very comfortable around Santana, and the way the girl spoke about the house and her parents in their previous conversations let her know that the latina respected her. She had a feeling that after these 5 days of getting to know eachother she could trust the brunette with her life. Brittany wanted to make Santana feel the same way the latina made her feel, taken care off...
"What about a cup of tea?" Brittany asked while slowly opening her eyes. She didn't even realize she had them closed the entire time she was stuck in her own thoughts. "I should head home in a bit Britt. Before Quinn gets all cray-cray about where I am again" Santana looked carefully over to the blonde. Hoping her words wouldn't hurt the girl. "Oh yea sure" Brittany said, and she quickly added "I hope my question didn't scare you off San.." She grabbed the latina's hand. Santana smiled at the small gesture and intwined their fingers. "Not at all" she breathed out. "It's a great offer really, but let's just not decide anything yet okay? Like I said, we still have a bit of time. I would love spending some more nights with you tho Britt." she said while gazing at their hands. Brittany smiled at the girls' words. "I'd love that too, how about monday after work? And let me cook this time?" The blonde offered. "That'd be nice" Santana smiled while getting up from the couch "I'll see you at the office then?" She said shyly. "Totally" Brittany said while standing up. "Goodnight Santana. Will you text me when you're home?" She asked.
Before the older girl could ask something Brittany grabbed a note from her back pocket and handed it to the brunette "my number.." she breathed "drive safe okay?" she chuckled nervously before leaning in, placing a soft kiss on Santana's cheek. Santana blushed slightly at the touch of the blonde's lips. They were so soft. She hummed contently agreeing to the blondes request. "See you on monday Britt.. and text you soon" she said while holding up the note before putting it in her shirt, where Brittany expected her phone to be aswell. "Goodnight Santana" she breathed as the latina turned to walk away, grabbing her jacket from the counter before heading to the frontdoor.
When Santana came home she could hear Quinn speaking on the phone. Probably with Jax her long-term boyfriend. She had always been a little jealous off their relationship. Ofcourse the latina was extremely happy for her best friend that she loved her true love. But Santana couldn't help it. She wanted a relationship like theirs. Stable, not too much drama, someone to laugh with and just someone who loved her unconditionally. When the short haired girl hung up the phone she turned around a smiled widely at Santana. "Let me guess, Brittany?" She started. Santana didn't look up to meet her eyes yet. She was tying a quick message with her right hand. The left hand held open the note with the blondes number signed with a heart and a small B.
When she hit send she folded the paper and placed both the note and her phone on the kitchen table. Now she looked back at Quinn and stated "yes Q, I'm so fucked!" She chuckled. "Sit down" Quinn said softly, sitting down while placing two cups of tea in front of them. "Tell me about her San" she continued. Santana grabbed her cup and softly blew on it before taking a tiny sip. "It has been 5 days Q, 5 friggin days..." she sighed "I think I'm falling for her" the latina said while closing her eyes waiting for the other girls' reaction. When Quinn didn't say anything she opened her eyes again and said "Brittany asked me to move in when I get kicked out of here..."
Quinn started giggling at the latina's last words. "Oh San! Let me call U-HAUL to see if they have time tomorrow!" She joked. Santana couldn't appreciate the blondes joke at the moment and spat back "Q I know it's crazy but what am I supposed to do?" she sighed "I think I'm falling for her, but I'm so friggin scared after what happened with Sarah last year. What if Brittany is just like her. What am I even saying? If Britt even likes me like that! She's never been a with a girl! Maybe she's just looking for a roommate because she needs the money! Maybe- " Santana rambled when Quinn cut her off. "Lopez relax a little! Jeez... Love is never gonna be something you can be sure off. Sometimes you have to just jump in and hope you don't crash you know" the blonde said while walking over the older girl.
"What about this ey" she started while placing her hand on Santana's shoulder "let's we have a girls night tomorrow, just you and me. You should take your mind of things for a bit. It'll be fun. And then by monday when you get back to work you just be your awesome self. Spend some more time with this hottie of yours" Quinn chuckled. "And just see where it goes, you have 3 more weeks in here. It'll be okay San, I promise" the blonde said. Santana just nodded softly before getting up walking towards her bunk "thanks Q" she almost whispered.
Santana was laying in bed hoping she would fall asleep soon. Right when she could feel herself drifting away she heared her phone buzz on her night stand. It was a text from Brittany.
Brittany Pierce - Sweet Dreams San x B
Which she quickly replied with just:
"You too x". Afraid she might say something to ruin it all with just one text.
Then she fell asleep with the phone in hand clushed against her chest.
On the opposite part of town Brittany and Tubbs laid in a bed that was way too big for them. She just send Santana a text back after the latina let her know that she was home safe and sound. She felt her phone buzz on her pillow. Tubbs purred a little at the slightly moving bed. She turned to her side and read the latina's reply "You too " was all it said. The blonde sighed.
How could she get all thingly from someone she only met this week. A girl! She spend two nights with this insanely hot slightly older woman. And every time they sat close to eachother all the blonde wanted to do was move over and touch her.
She never felt her whole tingle of a single touch with her ex boyfriends Noah and Finn combined. She needed to figure out how Santana felt about her. If she was even into Brittany like that. The blonde knew Santana was gay but still that didn't mean anything right? She was pretty sure till last week that she was straight and 5 days later she found herself alone in bed thinking about a hot brunette. She didn't want to push Santana away with flirty comments but she decided she atleast had to find out if she was Santana's type at all. Brittany quickly fell asleep with her phone laying next to her on the pillow.
SATURDAY MORNING,
WELL AFTERNOON
"Santana" Quinn said while shaking her best friends shoulder a little. "Santana! Wake up! It's 2 already. What's wrong with you? You never sleep this long?" the blonde girl asked a little worried. Santana opened her eyes and groaned "Ugh.. Nothing is wrong Q I just kept waking up from time to time. And when I DID sleep she was even in my dreams." Quinn chuckled at the latina's mood "get in the shower I'll make us both some lunch... well breakfast for you!" She laughed while making her way out of the room. Santana pulled herself out of bed grabbing a clean towel from her closet and shuffled over to the bathroom.
Santana spend the rest of the afternoon with Quinn in the kitchen, having food and just chatting. When it was around 9 Quinn told the latina to get ready. Even though she wasn't really in the mood to go a bar she still let the blonde get what she wanted. Santana knew she meant it well. Q didn't want her moping around and drowning in her self pity. Within the hour the girls walked around the block all dressed up towards the nearest bar. As soon as they entered the crowded place Santana saw thats Quinn's boyfriend Jax was behind the bar tonight. She sighed, being a 3rd wheel was not something she was looking forward to. The noise of the music and all the people around them made it hard for her to hear her friend. As if Quinn could read her mind the blonde leaned over and yelled in Santana's ear "no worried, still a girls night Lopez".
