Chapter 12
Pancakes & Hoodies
'Where am I?' Santana thought when she woke up. She turned around yawning and was surprised to see blonde hair sprawled over the pillow next to her. "Damn, you are beautiful…" Santana whispered. The blonde was on her side facing the window that let in the morning sun. Santana slowly moved her hand towards the blonde's shoulder which was not covered by the blanket they were sharing. Right when she placed her hand sofly on the blondes shoulder the girl next to her seemed to wake up and said "You are…". Santana jumped a little pulling her hand back. "Uhm… hi goodmorning, you don't even see me" she stumbled. The blonde turned around so that the girls were facing eachother. "You are.. I don't have to look at you to know that you are beautiful in the morning, especially without make up" Brittany almost whispered. Santana chuckled and said "your bed is very comfy Britt". The blonde smiled "you have been sleeping in a bunk for a few years, every normal bed is comfy for you" she said while laughing. "True that!" Santana replied before starting a more serious conversation.
"Britt, about last night. I know we haven't done anything yet, but I really want you to know that if we ever do go there… I won't leave before breakfast…" she said. Brittany smiled softly at the cleary nervous brunette laying next to her. "I know Santana, don't worry about it, I'm a big girl. I'm used to taking care of myself." The blonde replied. "I know Britt, I just wanted to let you know, even though we only met two weeks ago.. I trust you, and I hope you feel the same about me as I feel about you". Brittany nodded and whispered "I do…" before kissing the latina softly on her lips. "You do… You didn't think that I was proposing right?" Santana smirked, suddenly regaining her usual selfconfidence. "I thought we would take it slow Britt, I like you, but proposing after two weeks that's fast even for two woman." she laughed outloud now. Santana enjoyed teasing the blonde so much!
"You are a tease Lopez!" Brittany yelled before sitting up and started tickling the brunette who was now laughing even harder and yelled back "Brittany! NO! Aghhhh that tickles! STOP!" Brittany laughed and swung one leg over the latina's waist so that she was almost sitting on her. The blonde grabbed both of Santana's wrist and pushed them on both sides of her head. Both breathing heavily due to the yelling and struggling to 'win'. They stared into eachothers eyes without saying a word. Santana was laying on her back with the blonde on top of her. She felt the blondes legs touching hers and swallowed hard. When Brittany noticed Santana's breathing calm a little she lowered her body onto the latina's and kissed her deeply, almost immediately receiving a soft moan from the girl below her. This kiss was different than the ones they had shared before. It was longing, both craving for more. Santana spun them around so she was now on top of the blonde haired girl. As their body's were in sync, they moved against eachother. Cleary Santana being more experienced the latina's sofly slid her leg in between Brittany's leg receving a small whimper from the blondes mouth which was still attatched to the older girls lips. "Santana…" the blonde breathed into her mouth. The brunette wasn't really sure if this was a small moan or if the blonde wanted to speak to her. She slowly pulled back and smiled at Brittany. "I've never been with a girl" the blonde whispered. The latina smiled at her "you are doing amazing, we don't have to do anything, I just want to make you feel good" the latina said.
"You always make me feel good" the blonde whispered. "Come on, I'm gonna make the best breakfast you've ever tasted" Santana said while sliding herself of the blonde and getting out of bed winking at Brittany. "Pancakes or waffels?" the latina asked while walking towards the door. "Pancakes!" Brittany replied happily. Santana left the room and she heared her walking downstairs. The blonde heared her say "goodmorning Tubbs, did you sleep well? Sorry I stole your place last night" Brittany giggled at the cuteness of the brunette and laid in bed smiling. Brittany was happy right now. She wish she didn't have to leave the house for work later. Santana was awesome, relaxed and not pushing her at all. The blonde laid there for a few more minutes smiling like a goof before getting out of bed, throwing on a hoodie she had left on the floor and grabbing a clean one out of her closet for the beautiful girl who was probably cooking downstairs.
Santana got downstairs in just a t-shirt and shorts. It was a bit chilly so she quickly sat down next to the fireplace and lit a small fire. She watched the flames starting to grow. She was happy right now, this was going to be her home in a few weeks. Brittany was amazing, she smiled when she relived the moment they had just shared upstairs in the blonde's bed. She knew these feelings for a girl were all new to Brittany and she didn't want to rush things. Especially if the girl wasn't ready yet. Santana was also still a little worried about getting her heart broken again. Sarah really messed things up for her, she had a rough time trusting new people. Deciding not to think too much and just let it happen she got up, walking to the kitchen. Her eyes caught a small bluetooth box in the corner of a cabinet, she quickly connected her phone and hit shuffle in her Christmas playlist. She would never let anyone notice how much she actually enjoyed the holidays, but she figured if she was going to move in here Brittany would find out sooner or later anyway.
Brittany hopped down the stairs with the hoodie she brought for the latina hanging over her shoulder. When she opened the door to the living room she was surprised to see the latina dancing while mixing in a big bowl. She was wearing the blonde's apron and singing along to a christmas song while swaying her hips smoothly.
.. up for you dear, Santa Baby and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed. Think of all the girls that I haven't kissed.
Brittany stood there in the doorway smirking at the latina who had just changed the lyrics from 'Fellas' to 'Girls'.
Next year I could be oh so good, if you'll check off my christmas list.
The blonde sang along with the older girl who spun around immediately. "Jeez Britt, you scared me' Santana breathed. Brittany laughed while walking towards her saying "are you thinking of all the girl you should've kissed this year?" the blonde winked. The latina blushed as she realized that the blonde heared her little change of words. "Uhmm no, right now I'm just thinking about a certain blonde" she started. "Oh right? Blonde is your type then?" Brittany smirked. "Oh totally, all my exes and hook-ups were blonde" the latina replied. "And is this blonde, is she an ex or just a casual hook-up?" the blonde asked sneakily. Santana smiled widely "neither, she is something else. I was kind of hoping she would be my christmas date" she said.
Brittany grinned "if you want her to be your date for the holidays then you should ask her…". Santana hummed "I might, once I find the courage.." Brittany looked confused at the girl in front of her. Honestly she was expecting the latina to ask her straight away after a little teasing. "I'm sure the girl will be happy to be your date Santana" Brittany softly smiled at the older girl while placing her hand on the latina's hip. "I hope so, and I hope not just for the holidays" Santana smiled nervously. "If you ask me this blondie should be over the moon with a date like you, and not just during the holidays but every season of the year" Brittany chuckled. "Thanks Britt, I will ask her soon" Santana smiled before returning her attention back on the bowl in front of her.
"What do you like on your pancakes Britt?" Santana asked while putting her finger in the bowl before licking it to taste the mixture. "Oee anything!" the blonde answered happily! "Anything sweet!" she added quickly. "Okaay let me surprise you" Santana said while putting a pan on the stove, letting it heath up. Brittany smiled at the older girl in her apron. "That apron suits you San, but aren't you a little cold?" Brittany asked while grabbing the hoodie she dropped on the chair when she walked in the living room. "I brought you this to wear if you'd like" she said while holding up the hoodie for Santana to read the design on it. "William McKinley Highschool Cheerios" Santana said outloud before smirking "do you still have your cheerios costume aswell?" she asked. "Mmm who knows..." Brittany replied cheeky while throwing the hoodie on the closest chair before hopping on the counter with her butt, now staring into the latina's eyes "I might show you one day" she said before grabbing a blueberry from the small bowl on the next to her and putting it in her mouth. Santana smiled pouring some mixture into the pan before taking off her apron and replacing it with the hoodie from the chair, slipping it on.
Brittany smiled adoringly at the older girl in her old hoodie. "Come here" the blonde mouthed to the latina while slightly parting her legs. Santana obliged right away stepping closer and looking up to the blonde who's face the was a bit higher now that she was sitting on the kitchen top. Now that the blonde could reach her she softly pulled the brunette closer by the base of her neck. The latina stumbled forward a little steadying herself by placing both of her hands on the blondes legs on each side of her hips. She was not expecting Brittany to pull her closer and practically in between her legs. The blonde looked into Santana's eyes and slowly leaned in kissing the older girl while placing her other hand on her cheek slightly stroking the soft skin with her thumb. Santana hummed into the kiss moving her hands from Brittany's legs and wrapping them around the younger girls waist deepening the kiss. 'She is an amazing kisser' the latina thought. She didn't want to think about the blonde practicing a lot but she figured she must've had. The latina wasn't a saint herself, the past year the only kissing in her life and seks was with girls she didn't know and whom she never saw anymore afterwards. Not that she cared, she believed it was better when it didn't involve feelings. But with Brittany is was different. "San..." Brittany mumbled onto the brunettes lips "I think something is burning" she said while sniffing a little. "FUCK!" Santana yelled letting her arms loosen from the blondes waist and stepping towards the stove which had a smoking pan on it and a burned pancake. She removed the pan from the stove and said laughing "well, the first one always sucks anyway" making the blonde giggle.
