Chapter 11
Answers & New Bedrooms
After Santana had agreed to move in with the blonde, Brittany had to try hard not to kiss the girl right there in front of her family. Not that she was afraid of their reaction. Just like the blonde her family was totally the same when it came to labels. She knew both of the woman at her dining table absolutely didn't care if she came home with a boy or a girl. As long as Brittany was happy, they were happy.
Santana helped finishing dinner and the four of them chatted about all kinds of things over food. Ann laughed while telling story's of funny things Brittany used to do as a kid. But they also had a more serious conversation when they talked about the year Brittany and Emily moved in with Ann when their parents passed away. Santana learned that it was a drunk driver that ran through a red light who had crashed the family car. The couple was on their way to Nanna's place to pick up their daughters after their weekly date night. Santana reached to hold the blondes hand, that was placed on her own knee. Giving her hand a gentle squeeze lettering the girl know she was gonna be right there with her.
Before they knew Nanna announced that she and Emily were about to leave. Emily didn't stay at Brittany's place this weekend. She had a big exam coming up on Monday and Nanna knew there wouldn't be much studying if it was just the two sisters in the house. Emily had agreed to stay at Nanna's for the weekend but not before the older woman allowed her to stay at Brittany's for an entire week in the upcoming Christmas holiday.
Soon the four of them were standing on the porch saying their goodbye's, sharing hugs and see you soon's. Brittany asked Emily to text her when they got home. Santana smiled softly at her, realizing that it was probably because of what happend to their parents. Remembering Brittany asked her the same thing when she first visited the blonde.
As the backlights of Nanna's car became smaller and smaller the two girls made their way back into the house. As soon as they got in Santana realized that this place was going to be her home soon. She had to leave her bunk in two weeks. Right on christmas day, how could they right? Brittany's house had everything she had always wanted. A seperate bedroom, something she didn't have anymore after leaving her parents' house ... A bathroom she only had to share with one other person. And ofcourse a kitchen she was used to sharing with over ten mostly drunk or either hungover teenagers. But most of all.. this place was Brittany's. Her biggest, no probably the only reason why she was going to move in!
Brittany chuckled at the latina who was still standing in the doorway from the hall to the living room day dreaming while looking around her. Santana snapped back to reality when she felt the blonde touch her arm. "Are you okay?" Brittany asked. While rubbing a thumb over the brunettes toned arm. "Very..." Santana almost whispered. "I am moving in" she finished before Brittany smiled and brought her head to meet the latina's. "I'll do everything I can to make you feel at home San" the blonde assured her. "I think I know what would make me feel at home right now" Santana giggled before closing her eyes and softly kissing the blonde.
Before their passionate kiss got too heated Santana softly pulled away. "You are something else, I don't know what it is..." Brittany sighed. Santana smiled shyly "believe me, I'm nothing special, I..." Brittany didn't let Santana finish "Oh come on don't give me that, I like you Santana" the blonde admitted. Santana softly replied "I like you too Britt, this energy between us, we can't.. we're gonna be collegues for the coming months.." Brittany pulled a little further from Santana's face saying "San, I know we have to be professional and all, but if this makes you happy then we should give it a go". Brittany said a little confused. "If you're not into me like that you can just tell me, we'll be friends..." she continued. Santana sighed "I AM into you, but I'm just confused Britt... It's been a while since I had feelings for someone.. well more than just spend the night and leave before breakfast kinda feelings" she chuckled slightly. "We can just see where it goes San, we don't need to hurry and until then I'll be your friend... and roommate" Brittany smiled happily. 'I don't just want to be your friend Britt' the latina thought when their lips separated, their foreheads resting softly against eachothers. But Santana decided not to say those words outloud, not yet.
"How about you show me my room?" Santana asked. Brittany smiled widely before grabbing the latina's hand, almost pulling the to the hallway and up the stairs. She had not seen this room yet. She wondered if the blonde never showed her for a reason. Santana breath hitched in her throat when the blonde opened the latina's room-to-be. It was still completely furnished as if the blondes' parents never left. "Britt... You shouldn't give up..." the brunette started. But Brittany quickly filled in "San, it's okay it's been a while. Emily and I are doing fine. It's time for new memories don't you think?" Santana nodded. Still this felt very wrong. She didn't want the blonde to regret anything.
"We'll change somethings in here to make you feel more at home. And... you can always sleep in my bed whenever you like..." the blonde said shyly. Brittany saw the brunette's eyes go wide and she quickly added "not that I just asked you to move here for sex or anyth-... I am just so…" she stopped talking when she realized what she had been saying so far. Santana chuckled at the blondes rambling.
"You are so cute when you're rambling" Santana said. "Come here you..." she continued before pulling Brittany in for a kiss. Brittany gladly accepted and deepened the kiss right away causing Santana to let out a small moan. Normally Santana would've gently pulled away by now but she was so caught up in the kiss the didn't. Both of their hands were roaming over eachothers body's. Santana's hands fell on the slightly taller girls's butt. She squeezed it softly this time making the blonde let out a small whimper. Santana smiled into the kiss fully aware of what she was doing to the blonde in her arms. "I would love a small sleep over" the latina whispered. "But let's take it slow okay Britt? We have all the time in the world in a few weeks" Santana smiled.
After another kiss which caused a soft moan to escape Brittany's mouth Santana softly pulled away. Needing a bit of fresh air through her lungs to cool her down a little. Brittany smirked at the brunette who clearly needed the fresh air. "You do realize both me and Emily were conceived in this room right?" Brittany giggled in Santana's ear. That sentence was all the latina needed to cool down for now. She looked in shock as Brittany grabbed her hand and laughed "let's have another drink, you had too much already to drive anyways..."
Santana smirked while hopping down the stairs following the blonde. Making a mental note to text Quinn she wasn't coming 'home' tonight.
"Ahhhhh" Brittany yelled while shooting the cork from a bottle of champagne. Both girls laughed as the blonde accidentally, or maybe it was on purpose, spilled some champagne on the older girl who was holding out two glasses for her to fill. "Cheers to... moving in?" Santana smiled while holding up her glass, waiting for the blonde to follow. "... and us" Brittany finished while clinging their glasses together.
That Santana felt truly happy was the understatement of the century. She was moving in in a beautiful place. With a cute cat and an even cuter blue eyed girl who was stealing pieces of her heart every day since they met. The latina was falling hard and she was jumping, just like Quinn had told her to do. The girls where on the couch not really paying attention to the tv playing. Brittany's head was rested on her lap and it seemed like she had drifted to sleep. Santana pulled her phone from her bra and started typing
Santana Lopez - Hey Q, won't be coming home tonight. I am staying the night at my soon-to-be-home with a hot blonde. I jumped and it seems like I didn't crash, I owe you. Love you text you tomorrow. X
After a few seconds she got a sweet reply from her best friend.
Q - I'll miss you Lopez. You better stay my best friend! I am truly happy for you. Don't fuck it up, this blondie must be pretty awesome. LY2 X Q
