Chapter 7

Hearts & Cocktails

Quinn grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the bar where she hopped on a chair leaning over kissing Jax on his cheek as soon as he spotted them. Since the bar was on the other side of the room the music here was a little softer. Santana heared Quinn order her favorite drink before she turned to Santana saying "San what do you want? 'Amaretto Sour' for you?" the latina nodded before looking around the room. Now that she was here, she really was in the mood for some nice cocktails and some dancing.

After a few minutes she turned around looking back at the bar where she saw Jax putting their drinks in front of the girls. "Hi Jax how are you?" Santana smiled at the boy behind the bar. "Hi Santana, I'm great. You girls have a goodnight, make sure this one gets home safely okay" he smirked pointing at Quinn "drinks on me the whole night" he smiled before walking away to a couple on the other part of the bar waiting to order their drinks. 2 cocktails and a tequila shot later Santana noticed a young couple sitting down in a small booth on the other side of the bar. The latina thought the blonde looked kind of familiar. She nudged Quinn, who was talking to Jax in her side saying "Guys, don't you think they're a little young for this place?" while nodding her head in the direction of the couple. "Nah it's okay" Jax said "they're family of one of the bar girls working here. I've seen them here before around the end of her shift. So I guess they just here to pick her up from work" he shrugged. Before Jax could even finish his sentence Santana saw the swinging door at the back of the bar open. Brittany walked in. Santana was in complete shock. 'Was Brittany working here?' she wondered. The blonde was scanning the room and smiled when she saw the couple in the booth. She smiled at the boy and kissed the younger looking girl on her head.

Quinn followed the latina's stare to the couple and saw the older blonde joined them by now. "San? Are you okay? Do you know them?" she asked. Santana could only nod. "Do you know Brittany?" Jax asked confused. "BRITTANY" Quinn yelled. "San, is that Brittany Brittany?" She said with her eyes wide open. "It is" is all Santana could say. Brittany is working here. She must be, she came out of the back wearing the same shirt as Jax. "Go say hi!" She heared Quinn say but the latina remained silent. She stared at the blonde and her, what it seemed like younger sister and her current boyfriend. Brittany and the couple left the bar.

SUNDAY

The rest of the weekend flew by fast. Santana might've had a few drinks to many after she saw the blonde leave the bar on Saturday night. She hated the fact that she couldn't stop thinking about her and her blue eyes. Sunday morning she regretted the free cocktails Jax kept making her. It seemed like Quinn was being more responsible. Once she woke up there were two painkillers and a large glass of water next on her nightstand next to a small note that said 'I'm at Jax', dinner is in de fridge! X Q' Santana smiled at the sweet gesture and quickly sent a 'thank you' text to her best friend.

Brittany barely slept the past night. The sound of her little sister and her new boyfriend going at it is not something she particularly enjoyed. Emily and Dylan picked her up from work Saturday evening and spend the rest of the weekend at Brittany and Emily's house. Dylan was 18 and had a car even older then Santana's. It made weird sounds while changing gears but Brittany sure wasn't complaining for a ride home around midnight. Sunday morning they had breakfast together before Emily and Dylan went to the city centre for some christmas shopping. On the way they dropped Brittany off at the bar again. She had long shift, starting at 11 in the morning. Brittany hated Sunday's at work. She barely had time left with her little sister.

The couple picked the blonde up from work around dinner time. They ate dinner on the couch while watching one of the romantic comedy's Santana brought her a few nights before. When the movie came to an end Dylan stood up and said "we should go to your grandma's place again honey, we both have school early tomorrow". Emily nodded while following him to the hallway. "Wait Em, can I ask you something before you leave?" Brittany asked unsure. "I'll be there in a sec" Emily smiled to Dylan who seemed to get the hint as he disappeared. "What is it Britt, are you okay?" the younger blonde asked worrying. "NO, I'm fine" Brittany giggled. "I just wanted to discuss something with you about the house" she said as Emily hummed for her to continue. "Well you know my internship in the city? I met a girl there. She's a year older than I am and she's currently looking for new housing options and I was wondering if you would be okay with her living here in Mom and Dad's old bedroom?" she blonde sighed. Glad she brought up the nerve to ask her sister. 'Even though Emily is only 16 it is as much her house as it is mine' she thought.

"Britt..." the younger blonde started "if you trust this girl in the house than I am all fine with it. As long as Dylan and I get to come over when we like, then you can do whatever you want!" Brittany let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding the entire time. "Thank you Em that really means a lot. I was afraid to upset you since the only room thats left is Mom & Dad's. But I just had to ask you... I feel comfortable around this girl, and sometimes it gets quite lonely here during the week." Emily smiled before hugging her older sister and said "I know Britt, I am very proud of how you manage everything on your own. You work so very hard. Ask the girl to move in, I'll be more comfortable at grandma's anyway when I know you're not all alone in here" she giggled. "Thanks Em" Brittany replied still hugging her baby sis tightly. "Now go pack before Dylan leaves without you!" she added before letting go of Emily's embrace.

MONDAY

Not like any other Monday morning Santana was wide awake by 6.30u. She was secretly hyped that she was going too Brittany's after work. She spend the weekend guessing what the blonde was going to cook for her. After a showering so stood in front of the mirror a few outfits laid out on her bed behind her. "Come on Lopez, just pick something already" she mumbled.

Trying to be a silent as possible since Quinn was still asleep in the room. She didn't want to the blonde to wake up and see her actions at this un godly hour. She would've never heared the end of it.

When she finally made a decision she walks towards the kitchen and make herself some lunch too bring to work. While going through the cabinets to find something she came across a small can of tuna. She didn't know who's it was but, really she didn't care. She knew that a furry friend she would see later today would love this. 'If Tubbs was happy then so would Brittany right?' she thought. Deciding to just grab some lunch at the coffee shop below the office today Santana left home early. She couldn't wait for the day to begin.
