Three more chapters with lots of Brittana and time jumps.
I hope you all are still interested in this story, if not I might have another idea for an other story.
''See you in a bit?''
Maribel sighs as she hears the door shut close after Brittany left Holly following soon after and turns to her daughter. ''Oh mija.'' She whispers with a soft shake of her head noticing her daughters friends all smiling sadly. ''Sometimes I want to smack you upside the head.'' She pauses and locks eyes with her as soon as she turns to her with a frown. ''With a shovel.'' She adds.
''Why?'' Santana asks her frown deepening as Puck fails to silence his laughter. ''Just because I stated the truth?''
Maribel shakes her head and smiles sadly. ''You think you stated the truth in your opinion mi corazón, Britt's has a whole other view on things,''
''You are talking in riddles mami.'' Santana tells her with a frown, she turns to her friends and sighs dropping in the love seat. ''You all know what I mean right?''
''We did understand what you tried to say S.'' Mercedes tells her softly.
''Yeah but the way you voiced it, came over entirely wrong.'' Tina adds with a sigh.
''Huh?''
Maribel sighs sliding down to sit beside her daughter and grabs her hand. ''Mija the way you said it, it came over like you tried to tell Brittany that you don't think you are important.''
Santana frowns recounting the words she told Brittany just minutes before and shakes her head. ''No, she kno..''
''She doesn't San.'' Quinn tells her gently cutting her off. ''The second the words, spend your money on important things left your mouth she went silent.'' She explains with a soft sigh. ''We all know what you tried to tell her, but I think by now you know that B doesn't have her way with words but she acts on her feelings.''
Santana bites her lip and sighs. ''I just don't want her to spend all her money on me, those tickets must have cost a fortune, add those flowers and well I am sure she has to work a few months to add that money back to her savings.''
Puck shakes his head and smiles slightly. ''Want to hear a good thing?'' He shrugs as she just turns to him in confusion and sighs. ''She didn't spend a dime of her savings on anything she did today San, she worked for it during some nights the past few weeks to make all of this possible because she knew you would have been against it the second she would break her piggy bank.''
''She was so tired but tried to hide it so you wouldn't question her.'' Sam continues with a small smile. ''We all knew she worked during most school nights and she cleared it with Holly because she has to allow it now, she promised to take every free period during the day to nap in Puck's truck or in Holly's class.''
''She did all of that.'' Santana starts while mentioning her hand around them. ''To do all of this?''
Maribel pats her daughters leg as she watches the group of friends just nod their heads and sighs. ''She knew you would be concerned that she would spend so much money from her savings so she cleared it with Holly that she could pull a few night shifts the past few weeks mija, you didn't really give her a chance to explain and the way you said things sounded awfully lot like you think you aren't important to her.''
''But that's not true, I know that I am.'' Santana whispers with a groan. ''Fuuuck, I fucked up.''
Maribel shakes her head and kisses her cheek. ''You didn't, go to her and talk mija.''
''Is she home?'' Santana asks biting her lip knowing her girlfriend retreats to the tree house or other secret hideaways she found to be alone.
''She is.'' Puck tells her with a small smile while holding up his phone for her to see. ''Holly texted the group we made with her and your mami that she went up to her room after cuddling with Mason for a bit.''
''Go mija.'' Maribel murmurs as she sees her hesitating. ''We can watch a movie later, go clear the air with your girlfriend first.'' She pats her leg standing up and smiles. ''You can stay over if you want, if not call me so I can pick you up.''
''I will drive you S.'' Puck tells her as he stands up with Quinn, Santana nods her head quickly jumping up and bites her lip.
''One second.'' She turns on her heels sprinting up the stairs taking two at a time leaving her mami and friends behind in confusion and runs into her room, she opens her closet riffling to her clothes and grabs the neatly folded shirt she ordered a few days before.
She quickly packs a bag with things she will need in case she is staying over making sure to pack her glasses and grabs her phone charger, she jogs back down the stairs after shoving the gift in her bag too and slides into the living room. ''Alright I am ready.'' She walks to her mami allowing her to pull her in a hug and kisses her cheek. ''Te amo mami.''
''I love you too mija, text me later okay?''
She nods her head pulling back with a soft sigh and turns to the group. ''Alright let's go.'' She kisses her mami's cheek once again after her friends all hugged her and follows Puck and Quinn out of the house and to Puck's truck, she climbs into the back after hugging Tina, Mike, Sam and Mercedes promising them to text them tomorrow and puts on her seat belt waving at her mami as they drive off smiling as she blows her a kiss.
She watches Puck speed through the streets smiling as she sees his intertwined hand with Quinn's on the middle console and sighs softly watching the park pass by through the window.
''Cheer up S, you didn't fuck up.'' Puck reassures as he drives around the park to Holly's house.
''You sure? Because it sure feels like it.'' Santana tells him with a groan.
''I am, sure it hurt B but you didn't fuck up.'' Puck tells her with a shrug. ''Just talk even if she stays silent, just talk. She is stubborn as fuck but if there is someone who can break through her thick skull, it's you.'' He continues as he parks his car in front of Holly's house.
''Puck is right.'' Quinn tells her as she turns in her seat to look at her. ''We all know how stubborn both of our idiots can be.'' She giggles as Puck called out an offended Hey! And locks eyes with Santana as she chuckles. ''But she won't shut you out S.''
Santana slowly nods her head taking her seat belt off and scoots forward to kiss their cheeks. ''Thanks for the ride, will text tomorrow.''
''Sounds good, good luck and have a nice night S.''
Santana thanks them softly and slides out of the truck after grabbing her bag, she walks up to the front door biting her lip as it swings open before she can knock and smiles sheepishly as Holly looks at her with a small smile.
''Come on in sweetcheeks.'' Holly whispers softly as she takes a step back to let the girl in front of her inside. ''She is in her room.'' She holds up two bottle of water for her to take and smiles kindly. ''Take these with you.''
Santana takes the bottles and smiles slightly. ''Thanks Holly.'' She jogs up the stairs after kissing her cheek and walks down the hall to Brittany's door smiling as she sees all the names scattered around on the memo board attached to it, her name and Mason's names the only ones highlighted with a bright red heart around it.
She opens the door quickly stepping onto the first step of the stairs closing the door behind her as the sound of the TV immediately gets louder and reaches for the switch light quickly flicking it off and on to announce Brittany that someone is coming up, she walks up after hearing a soft hum right after the volume of the TV turns lower and looks up towards Brittany's bed brown orbs immediately locking on blue orbs.
She walks over dropping her bag beside the bed as soon as she stops right in front of the blonde and bites her lip. ''Hey.'' She whispers softly.
''Hey.''
She licks her lips as Brittany pushes herself up in a seated position and sighs softly. ''Can we talk?'' She smiles slightly as Brittany just hums while scooting over a silent invite for her to sit down and slowly sits down intertwining her hands in her laps, she looks down at her hands groaning as Brittany just stays silent waiting for her to start talking and sighs. ''I didn't mean what I said, the way you thought I did Britt-Britt.''
''It sure did sound like you categorized yourself under unimportant things and people in my life Santana.''
Santana drops her head as soon as she hears the hurt in her voice and gulps thickly. ''I know that it sounded like that, but I didn't mean it that way.'' She turns her head to look at her noticing that she is looking out of the window to hide her features for her and scoots closer, she turns sideway propping one leg up and reaches out to gently grab her hand. ''I really didn't meant to say that I am unimportant Brittany, you just really spoiled me with everything you did today and I was afraid that you used a huge amount of your savings and that you will work till you drop to add it back to your savings.''
''I didn't use any of my savings for..''
''I know the group and mami told me.'' Santana mutters gently cutting her off. ''But I didn't know that.''
''I know because I didn't tell you, I didn't want you to worry.'' Brittany sighs softly and licks her lips. ''But even if I did do everything and paid it with the money I saved, you are so worth it Santana and I wouldn't mind working to add it back. All I thought about was making your eighteenth birthday, the first of hopefully many birthdays I got to celebrate with amazing.''
''And you did.'' Santana whispers softly, she squeezes the hand in her hold and sighs. ''Please look at me.''
She smiles sadly as Brittany slowly turns her head to look at her eyes still filled with a bit of hurt and runs her thumb over the back of her hand. ''I didn't mean the words I said to come over like it did Britt-Britt, I just didn't want to be the reason you will be deadly tired now that we are slowly nearing the end of high school.''
She shakes her head as she opens her mouth to respond and smiles slightly. ''I know, I know I am worth it and that you would do it with pleasure but while you are only thinking about making my day amazing, I am thinking a bit further and know that you will be tired as hell after work and won't be able to focus entirely on school.''
She scoots closer still keeping a hold of her hand and shrugs. ''I really love everything you did today and loved all gifts, you definitely managed to gift me everything I dreamed of it just shocked me and I know how pricey those tickets to Graceland are so that definitely stunned me but that doesn't mean that I didn't like your gift.''
''Yes I should have reworded my sentence because after mami and the group explained what you thought I realized how wrong it came over, but I know that I am important to you Britt-Britt just as important as you are to me.'' She tugs on the hand in her hold and smiles as Brittany scoots closer, she leans their foreheads together and sighs. ''But you also have to think about yourself Britt, think about school because you know that you won't function properly on just a few hours of sleep. Yes now I know you worked for it but I didn't in that moment, now thinking back to last week I do recall certain days you walked into the cafeteria yawning but I didn't question it because I thought you had another boring lesson.''
''Nah I just napped in Puck's truck.'' Brittany murmurs with a small smile. ''I know that you were just looking out for me, but in that moment all I heard was you calling yourself unimportant and I didn't want to start a fight on your birthday so I opted to leave maybe not the best way to avoid a fight.''
''Honestly you handled it much better than I could, you stayed so calm and I didn't really have the feeling you were angry.'' She locks eyes with her and sighs. ''Well your eyes told me exactly what you were feeling, but the way you talked was still very calm.''
''I forced myself to stay calm, deep down I knew you didn't mean it like that but it still hurt.''
''I know and I am sorry.'' Santana whispers guiltily. ''I didn't want to hu..'' She breaths deeply as Brittany's thin pink lips capture her own effectively cutting her off and hums softly her free hand immediately coming up to cup the back of her neck pulling her closer.
Brittany pulls back before they can deepen the kiss and leans their foreheads back together smiling lovingly as brown orbs slowly flutter open to lock on her own. ''Stop apologizing gorgeous, I am sorry for leaving so abruptly though.''
''Don't apologize for that, I understand.'' Santana murmurs a bit dazed from the kiss, she pulls back covering her mouth as she yawns and rolls her eyes as Brittany snickers. ''Shut up, today was a roller coaster filled with emotions.''
''More good than bad?''
''Definitely more good than bad, I didn't feel any bad emotions and I am not counting our little discussion to a bad emotion either.'' Santana murmurs with a shrug. ''I am just glad I could talk to you and not sit at home knowing I hurt you.''
''That is why I am still home.'' Brittany confesses with a small smile, she bites her lip as she sees Santana raise a perfectly manicured eyebrow and leans back against the headboard of her bed pulling Santana completely onto the bed beside her. ''I thought about going to the tree house after Holly came home but I felt more like putting on a movie after cuddling with Maze for a bit.''
Santana just smiles cuddling into her side as she feels her strong arm wrap around her waist and nuzzles her face against her shoulder. ''Do you mind me crashing your movie party?''
''Not at all, you know I love having you here with me San.''
''Are we okay?''
Brittany turns on her side as she hears the insecurity in her voice and cups her cheek, she tilts her head up so she can lock eyes with her and smiles lovingly. ''We've never been not okay Santana.'' She tells her softly. ''Just because we had a small disagreement, fight or discussion whatever you want to name it, doesn't make my feelings for you stop.''
Santana smiles slightly and tilts her head up to kiss her softly. ''I love you Britt-Britt.''
''I love you too Santana.'' Brittany murmurs softly against her lips, she pulls back keeping her arms wrapped around her slim body and smiles. ''Are you staying over?''
''You want me to stay over?''
Santana giggles as Brittany just rolls her eyes turning her body so she is laying on her back once again and cuddles into her side, she kisses her cheek and smiles lovingly. ''Of course I am staying over, there is no place I'd rather be right now Britt-Britt.''
She taps her abs softly as she pulls back chuckling as she grumbles and leans over the bed to grab her bag squealing as Brittany takes that opportunity to slap her ass. ''You ass.'' She exclaims giggling as she pushes herself back up.
Brittany just smirks as they lock eyes and winks. ''Can't blame me for taking that opportunity babe.''
''Babe huh?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised giggling as she sees a blush creeping up pale cheeks, she leans over kissing a rapidly red turning cheek and smiles. ''Who's blushing now babe?'' She asks drawing the word out.
''Yeah, yeah be quiet Blushy.''
''Shut up Britt-Britt.''
''Make me.'' Brittany quips with a smirk, Santana just replies with a smirk of her own and reaches into her back pulling the shirt she grabbed out of her room out of it.
She drops it on Brittany's stomach watching her as she frowns in confusion and smiles shyly as she turns to her in shock after unfolding it to look at her. ''You beat me to say those lovely three words, I planned on doing it tomorrow and knew you would have loved to have this shirt added to your collection so..''
''Are you serious?'' Brittany asks in amazement holding the exact same Chester shirt she gave Santana earlier that day up.
Santana nods her head and chuckles. ''I know how much you love Linkin Park Britt-Britt, so the second they announced new merch I immediately had to order one for you knowing they would sell out quickly.''
''Great minds think alike.'' Brittany whispers with a loving grin as she reaches out to tug on the red memorial shirt Santana wears, she turns back to the black one Santana gave her and shakes her head. ''I love it, thank you San.''
''No, thank you for everything today Britt-Britt.'' Santana replies as she watches her take off the shirt she wears to slip into the shirt she just gave her. ''I loved every second of it and you really made it the best birthday yet.''
''There is one more thing.'' Brittany murmurs with a sheepish grin as she reaches over opening the first drawer of her nightstand and takes out the small wooden box containing the heart of the ocean she bought on their first date. ''Before you scold me, I bought this one almost three months ago and planned on giving it to you while asking you to be my girlfriend, but you beat me to it so I was waiting for another perfect opportunity so yeah..'' She holds it out for Santana to take and smiles slightly as she slowly takes it confusion clear on her face. ''Open it.'' She whispers gently.
''No way.'' Santana squeaks out in shock as she sees the beautiful blue heart of the necklace sparkling up at her the second she opened the small box. ''How the fuck..''
Brittany chuckles softly as she hears the shocked amazement in her voice and gently takes the necklace out of the box, she unclasps it while scooting closer to her girlfriend and smiles lovingly. ''It caught my eye the second we walked into the souvenir shop during our date, it just screamed your name so I had to buy it.''
She gently clasps it around her neck smiling as the heart falls just above her cleavage and runs her fingers down the necklace, she adjusts the pendant and leans back locking eyes with Santana. ''There.'' She murmurs. ''Perfect.''
''You are amazing you know that?'' Santana asks in amazement, she reaches up touching the pendant and sniffles. ''I love it.'' She throws her arms around Brittany's shoulders pulling her in a hug and kisses her softly. ''I love you, thank you baby.''
Brittany drops down on her back pulling her on top of her and cups her cheek with a loving grin. ''I love you too, happy birthday babe.'' She whispers softly before closing the gap between them to kiss her.
