''Whoa that was so cool!'' Mateo gasps out as soon as his mami helped him take off his helmet after they drove the twenty minutes towards the track, Santana chuckles as she runs her hand through his hair and nods her head.
''It sure was.''
''The fun is just beginning.'' Brittany promises as the boys stop right beside her. ''Everything cleared?'' She asks as they take their helmets off.
''Yeah red truck is ours for the day.'' Puck replies grinning. ''It has a seat for Mateo in and outside too.''
''Drive around first so they can get to know the area too?'' Jake asks as he jumps off of his ATV, Brittany nods her head sliding off of her ATV and picks Mateo up out of his seat after making sure Santana climbed off without accident.
She leads everyone over to the truck, walking around with Jake to inspect it and just turns to him. ''All good?''
''Looks perfect and still clean.'' Jake whispers chuckling. ''We gotta change that.''
''After the slow round we will.'' Brittany breaths out smirking, she turns to the group and bites her lip. ''Well we have four seats inside and the whole bed free, who sits where?''
''Mami can I sit on the bed?'' Mateo asks cutely. ''With you?''
Mercedes laughs and pats Santana's back as she hears her gulp. ''Baby boy decided San.'' She opens the passenger door and climbs in. ''Inside!''
''Back!'' Jake cheers as Puck just jumps behind the wheel, Brittany laughs softly taking all of their helmets and places them in the storage before Jake can sit down, she turns to Santana and smiles. ''Puck will drive slowly at first, no mud baths just yet.'' She crouches down in front of Mateo and holds out one of the caps she brought with her, one that covers his ears too. ''Here wear this bud, it will make sure your ears stay warm.''
''I don't even know how to climb on that thing.'' Santana murmurs as she eyes the bed. ''I definitely can't pull myself up like Jake did.''
Brittany chuckles leading her over to the back tire and kicks it. ''Just place your foot on the tire and pull yourself up, it will give you enough leverage to climb on it.'' She picks Mateo up as he tugs on her jeans and watches Santana do as she just said, she steps forward as she notices that her legs are a bit too short to climb over and places her hand on the back of her thigh to boost her up.
Santana turns around the second she plants her feet on the back and reaches for her son ignoring the hot sensation on the back of her thigh where Brittany touched her, she places him in his seat after thanking her softly and buckles him in.
''B, you might want to take your bandage off the second we start racing.'' Jake advises as he eyes the already smudged bandaged after Brittany easily jumped onto the bed, Brittany sits down beside Santana and nods her head.
''I will, give him the go.'' She turns to the two beside her as soon as Jake slammed his hand against the window facing the cabin and smiles slightly as they jump the second the bed vibrates as the engine roars to life. ''The sounds and vibrations will take a bit to get used to, but the worst feeling is bouncing up and down on the hard surface.'' She tells them chuckling. ''Mateo has a cushion but.'' She locks eyes with Santana and grins. ''You will feel it.''
''Oh joy.'' Santana murmurs with a chuckle, she turns to her son as he taps her arm and smiles. ''What's up baby boy?''
''Look!'' Mateo squeaks pointing at the hills around them with ATV'S racing up and plunging down into the muddy water, Brittany chuckles as Santana just watches the other people racing around one looking muddier than the other and nudges her.
''We will all look like them later.''
''How the hell do you get the mud out of your hair?'' Santana asks softly as she looks at several women driving around without a helmet.
''That is the hardest part, that is why we picked the ATV's so we all wear helmets.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''The second we start going faster with the truck, we will all wear a hat or cap.'' She adds nodding her head to Jake as he lifts the bag he brought with him with a few caps and hats.
''Why are we stopping?'' Jake asks frowning.
''Bathroom break.'' Puck yells as Mercedes opens her door and jumps out, Santana chuckles and turns to her son.
''That sounds like a good idea.'' She murmurs, she unbuckles him and holds him over the side so Mercedes grabs him. ''Be right back.'' She tells the three as she stands up.
Mercedes looks at her and snickers. ''Good luck coming down Snixx.''
Brittany laughs as Santana eyes the side contemplating on how to climb down and shakes her head in amusement, she walks past her easily jumping down and holds out her hand. ''Come here.'' She murmurs with a kind grin, she gently takes a hold of her hand the second she grabbed it and kicks the tire again. ''Just use the tire again, careful now though it might be a bit slippery now.''
She helps Santana down making sure she won't slip and just smiles as she thanks her softly, she leans against the side as the three of them disappear into the bathroom and looks around as she hears loud roaring engines drive past them.
''Girl got it bad.'' Jake teases as he leans against the side so he can whisper in her ear, he laughs dodging her slap as she turns to glare at him and shrugs. ''Hey I am just stating the obvious.''
''He is right.'' Puck tells her as he leans through the window to look at his best friend. ''You never helped anyone before, hell you would step aside and just watch them laughing.''
''You also never allowed anyone to touch you and whenever someone rides with you, they hold the side rail you attached to your ATV.'' Jake points out. ''Santana rode with her arms around your waist the entire time.''
''She also gave you a massage.'' Puck adds smirking.
Brittany blushes bright red and shakes her head. ''Just be quiet boys.''
''Just answer one question, I am sure Jake will agree.'' Puck breaths out making sure the women and Mateo are still inside, he licks his lips as Brittany just raises an eyebrow, the blush still clear on her features and smiles slightly. ''What is so special about her? I don't mean it in a bad way, but you have so many girls trying to catch your attention in school but you never look at them or acknowledge their crush.''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders after thinking about it for a bit and bites her lip. ''I honestly don't even know how to describe it Noah.'' She breaths out. ''I was intrigued after scrolling through her Insta after you tagged me, it just intensified the day we started writing and well the day we met I was blown away not only because of her looks but also..''
She cuts herself off as she hears Mateo's giggle far away and shoots the boys a look silently telling them that they will continue their conversation later, she turns around as they just nod their heads turning back to their positions and grunts softly as Mateo collides with her legs.
''Mijo, careful.'' Santana warns hearing her grunt, Brittany chuckles as he immediately looks up at her to apologize softly and taps his cap.
''It's alright buddy, ready to drive off again?'' She picks him up as he nods his head and places him back on the bed, she turns to Santana immediately holding her hand out again as Mercedes climbs back into the truck and helps her back up.
She jumps back onto it as soon as Santana walked over to buckle Mateo back in and drops back down in her spot, she feels Santana sit down beside her right after Puck started the truck again and feels them drive off again.
''How big is this place?''
Brittany shrugs and chuckles. ''I am sure it would take a day to explore everything, but that.'' She points her finger to the deepest mud bath and smirks. ''Is the best thing.'' She murmurs as they all watch two ATV's racing through it sending waves of mud up in the air.
''You want to drive around yourself too?'' She asks as Puck turns the truck around to drive back to their vehicles.
Santana shakes her head and bites her lip. ''No I don't think I can.''
''I will show you.'' Brittany offers, she stands up as Puck pulls back up near their ATV's and jumps over the back together with Jake. She helps Santana down as Jake takes Mateo and turns to Puck and Mercedes as they join them. ''Drive around alone?''
''Definitely.'' Jake cheers grinning as he places Mateo down. ''See you guys around!''
''And there he goes.'' Puck breaths out laughing as they all watch Jake sprint to his ATV, he turns to Mercedes and smiles. ''Want to drive around too? I promise to drive slowly for now.''
Santana chuckles as Mercedes slowly nods her head and winks as she turns to her. ''Have fun C, make sure your hair won't get muddy.''
''Thank god for the helmet.'' Mercedes breaths out laughing as she takes the one Puck holds out for her, she taps Mateo's cap as she walks over and shoots Santana a wink. ''Same goes for you though Snixx, make sure your hair will stay shiny and black, I don't think auburn fits you.''
She turns to Brittany and raises an eyebrow. ''Keep them in one piece please, I still need them.''
''I will.'' Brittany promises with a grin, she fist bumps Puck and winks. ''Have fun Noah.''
''You too B.''
Brittany turns to Mateo and Santana after Puck and Mercedes walked over to his ATV and smiles slightly. ''Ready to hit the track?'' She leads them over as they nod their heads and picks Mateo back up to place him in his seat after helping him slide his helmet on, she turns to Santana after buckling him in and smiles slightly as she holds the helmet out for her. ''Mud or normal track?''
Santana glances at Mateo and chuckles. ''As much as I want to say normal, I think Mat will love mud.''
Brittany laughs patting the seat. ''We will take both.'' She breaths out as she grabs her own helmet, she slides it on as soon as Santana sat down and climbs up herself. ''Hold on tight.'' She calls out feeling Santana's arms immediately wrap around her waist, she glances in the mirror rear mirror making sure Mateo also holds onto his mami's jacket like he did the whole way to the track and drives off.
Two hours later.
Brittany drifts to a stop after they drove around in the truck and on her ATV for two hours and turns to Santana grinning. ''Drinking break?'' She jumps off as she nods her head and reaches into the small box behind Mateo's seat to grab a sugar free juice package for him and two bottles of water she stored there, she takes Mateo's helmet handing him the package after poking the straw through the hole and hangs it around her steering wheel.
''After that you can slide up front.'' She breaths out handing Santana a bottle of water, she chuckles as her eyes widen and smiles reasuringly after taking a sip. ''It's easy, just don't take deep puddles at the beginning.''
Santana glances down at her clothes and laughs. ''Let's take the normal track, I think we are dirty enough.'' She glances at her son laughing as she sees that he is completely covered in mud and shakes her head in amusement as she sees his happy grin. ''You like it mijo?''
''It's so cool mami!'' He just breaths out smiling brightly, Brittany chuckles softly throwing her empty water bottle back into the storage behind Mateo and leans against the side of her ATV.
''You think your mami will manage to drive us back to the truck?'' She smirks as Mateo nods his head with a big grin and locks eyes with Santana. ''See even your little one knows that you can drive this thing.''
''Let's find out.'' Santana murmurs as she takes the last sip of her water, she takes the empty juice package Mateo holds out for her and rolls it up. She hands Brittany the bottle after shoving the empty package into it and takes her sons helmet turning around to help him put it on, Brittany places her own in the box and locks eyes with Santana as she raises an eyebrow.
''It's easier to instruct this way.'' She explains. ''You will hear me clearly and we will drive slowly.'' She walks back up and smiles. ''Scoot forward until you reach the front San.'' She climbs up sitting between the both of them, making sure to swing her leg high over Mateo so she won't hit him and smiles as she feels his little hands immediately grabs onto her hoodie.
''Driving is quite easy.'' She explains as she leans forward so Santana can hear her, she gently grabs the hands she already places on the steering wheel. ''You just need to keep in mind that you have to lean into the curves and to focus ahead.''
She places her thumb over Santana's and moves it down. ''This one has a thumb throttle, that allows you to be more in control and decide your speed easily.'' She murmurs as she softly pushes down, she widens her position, bracing herself as Santana shoots back against her the second they shoot forward a bit too fast and chuckles. ''Easy San.'' She whispers as she hears Mateo giggle.
''Just gently and evenly push down at first.'' She advises, she softly pushes her thumb back down feeling Santana's hand just relax under her own and nods her head as they slowly drive off. ''Just like that.''
Santana bites her lip just spreading her fingers allowing Brittany's to slip through hers as they come to a halt once again and shivers as she feels Brittany's front pushing against her back. ''Try it yourself.'' She hears her whisper softly. ''I will jump in if you are going to fast.''
She slowly pushes her thumb back down onto the throttle, feeling them move slowly again and smiles as she hears her son cheer. ''Don't forget to steer, if you continue driving straight ahead we will enter the mud zone.'' She hears Brittany's soft warning, she feels her left arm tense understanding her unspoken instruction and steers to the left making sure to lean into it, she pushes a bit harder down as soon as they are on the normal track and smiles slightly as she hears Brittany just hum.
''Just like that San.'' Brittany praises with a grin. ''Go faster if you feel like it and just loosen up if you want to slow down.'' She sits back still keeping her hold on the steering as she feels Santana just tighten her hold on her fingers and smiles as she hears Mateo's giggles filled with delight, she pulls her left hand back placing it on Santana's hip to give her more control of the ATV and leans into the curve with her as she steers to the left once again.
She smiles as they just drive back towards the truck at an average speed, noticing Santana getting more confident with every minute passing and glances around. She smirks as she sees the boys and Mercedes already standing near the truck and leans forward. ''Want to cover the boys and Mercedes in mud?''
Santana slowly pulls her thumb off of the throttle so they come to a halt and looks over her shoulder with an eyebrow raised. ''How?'' She asks the smirk clear in her voice, Brittany laughs switching the position of their hands placing her left back on the steering and smirks. ''Drifting.'' She shakes her head as Santana tries to pull back and locks eyes with her. ''Just stay seated like this.''
She slowly stands up after planting her feet firmly on the footrest and looks over her shoulder as she feels Mateo's grip on her hoodie loosen. ''Hold on tight Mateo!'' She turns back to Santana and winks. ''Just hold on tightly, we'll go fast.'' She warns as she feels Mateo gripping her hoodie again.
She pushes the throttle down as soon as she feels her fingers slide through her own, effectively gripping onto the steering too and takes off. ''Lean with me.'' She calls out as they race towards the group, she pulls the brakes, leaning and steering to the left as soon as she nears them and smirks as she sees Jake's eyes widen.
She laughs as they cover them with a wave of mud before any of them react and smirks as Santana and Mateo's loud laughter reach her ears right after the boys yelled and Mercedes Squealed. ''Sup guys, looking good.''
She burst out laughing as they just glare at her after wiping their faces and nudges Santana. ''One more round.'' She announces as she sees them getting ready to grab her. ''Go San!''
Santana laughs immediately taking off before one of them can step forward and tightens her hold on Brittany's hands as she feels her shoot back. ''Sit down!'' She yells over the loud roar of the engine, she nods her head as she feels Brittany immediately sit down and leans back against her not noticing Jake and Puck catch up to them rather quickly.
''Oh shit.'' Brittany whispers making sure only Santana can hear her, she glances at the boys and smirks. ''Turn back around, I don't think you want to be entirely covered in mud.'' She murmurs as she notices the track they are headed to.
''How?''
She takes over the second she hears Santana's unsure question and tenses her arms to make sure Santana won't slide off. ''Mat hold onto the back of my pants.'' She tells the little boy, she nods her head as she feels his fingers slide through her belt and immediately pulls the brakes leaning her body to the right to take a full turn.
She races back over to the truck hearing the boys right behind her and pulls on the brakes again making sure not to drift this time, she taps Santana's hip after shooting the boys a look telling them to wait and pulls her arms back with a grin as she turns towards her. ''The boys won't stop until they get payback.'' She murmurs as Santana takes her helmet off. ''We will be back in three minutes.''
She jumps off leaving the engine running and gasps as a handful of mud hits her chest, she looks up locking eyes with Mercedes and just raises an eyebrow as Santana doubles over laughing.
''Payback is a huge B.'' Mercedes just breaths out grinning.
Brittany just laughs taking Mateo's seat off as soon as Santana helped him off and quickly removes the box she attached to it for drinks, she drops them onto the bed of the truck knowing everything is already dirty and turns to the boys after grabbing her helmet. ''Bring it!''
Santana's eyebrows raise in surprise as she speeds up almost immediately and watches the boys drift around speeding up to follow her, she turns to Mercedes after watching dirt fly up around the three and just shakes her head. ''They sure know how to drive.''
''And you do too I noticed.'' Mercedes breaths out as they just watch the boys and Brittany speed around the track and listen to Mateo cheering them on. ''I thought you said that you would never drive a death trap S.''
Santana smiles shyly and shrugs. ''She makes me want to do things, I said I never would do C.'' She glances at her and bites her lip. ''Hell since when do we camp? The only vacation we know is a hotel, all inclusive at the best and a pool.''
''True.'' Mercedes breaths out, she watches Santana hand Mateo the last juice box Brittany brought with her and watches him sit down at one of the tables so he is able to drink in peace while still watching the three racing around the track. ''Puck makes me want to do the same, I didn't want him to show me how to drive though.''
''You should have said yes the second he offered C.'' Santana whispers as they lean against the shed a bit behind Mateo so they can keep an eye on him and still watch the three driving around. ''I was scared at first but hell the second she covered my hand with her own, showing me just how to push the throttle and steer caused it to vanish.''
She glances at her and bites her lip. ''She kept making sure that Mat had a hold on her even though he was already buckled in safely and also kept checking on me every time we hit a different track.'' She turns back to the track, chuckling as she sees Brittany drifting through a puddle sending mud flying up in every direction and smiles slightly. ''The second she decided that it was my turn to drive us back, she kept her arms at my sides, tensing every once in a while whenever we took a turn to make sure I wouldn't slide off and was always prepared to jump in if she had to.''
''Girl you are in so deep, there is no way out.'' Mercedes breaths out grinning.
Santana shakes her head and bites her lip. ''I know, hell even if I would want to pull back, I don't think I can C.''
''What holds you back? Go for it S.''
Santana glances at her son and slowly shakes her head. ''I can't.'' She murmurs. ''Not yet, I just want to look how things progress after we got back and I want to talk more to her in peace without the boys or you interrupting.''
''Makes sense.'' Mercedes breaths out knowing her best friend wants to make sure Mateo can also adjust to the changes in their lives and looks at the track. ''What the..''
''Mami look!'' Mateo gasps out at the same time pointing to the track, Santana's jaw just drops as she watches Brittany and the boys race up a bigger hill beside each other, one they all avoided the whole time and gasps softly as they fly through the air.
''Holy fuck.'' She whispers as she sees the huge mud wave following after they landed, she takes a step forward feeling Mercedes follow as she sees nothing but muddy water seconds later and shakes her head slowly relaxing as she sees Brittany driving through the wave first the boys following shortly after. ''Now it makes sense why they avoided that hill.''
''I think we found ourselves daredevils.'' Mercedes just groans out.
Santana shakes her head and laughs. ''Nah they are still too focused on staying safe to be daredevils, I think adrenaline junkie fits more C.'' She breaths out as the three teens drift to a stop near the truck sending mud up flying once again, she bites her lip as she watches Brittany take off her helmet after she killed the engine and smiles slightly as she watches blonde hair drop down, the light color of her hair reflecting in the late sun.
She licks her lips as blue orbs lock on her own after Brittany climbed off of her ATV and shakes her head with a small grin as she notices her clothes cling to her fit body and droplets of water dropping down on the ground. ''You do know that a mud shower won't clean you up right?'' She asks in amusement as they join them.
Brittany chuckles wringing out her hoodie and watches water drop down onto her boots. ''Nah but it's fun to get soaked.'' She pushes Jake as he snickers and rolls her eyes. ''Not like that J.''
''That kind is not fun?'' Mercedes just asks teasingly, Puck laughs as Brittany immediately drops her head blushing bright red and pushes her softly.
''Oh B, for someone with a huge ass mouth, some people can shut you up quite easy.''
Santana laughs as the blonde just grumbles and looks down at her son as she feels his arms wrap around her legs, she runs a hand through his hair as he looks up at her with a grin and nods his head. ''It's time for a snack and shower huh?''
Brittany turns to the boys as Mateo nods his head with a giggle and nods her head to the truck. ''Will you bring it back? I will drive to the house with San and Mateo, you can just follow after.''
''Shower in the garage?'' Jake asks as they all walk to their ATV's.
''Yeah Ma will kill me if I allow you into the house like that.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling, she catches the bag with all clothes they packed this morning and shoves it into the box after throwing away their trash. ''I will pull the hose outside so we can rinse off, ma made sure both showers in the garage also have hot water.''
She attaches the children seat back on her ATV, pulling on it to make sure it's fastened and locks eyes with the boys. ''Ma also prepared some sandwiches this morning so we also have a snack there, I will cook as soon as we get back to the camp.''
''Alright, we will follow right after we brought the truck back.'' Puck breaths out, Brittany nods her head buckling Mateo back in after he walked over and turns to Santana.
''Come on, let's make sure we have enough of hot water.''
''Hey!'' She laughs climbing onto her ATV and shoots Mercedes a wink.
''You will still have enough too.'' She promises. ''The boys will probably suffer.'' She starts her ATV chuckling as the boys just shoot her a glare and drives off as she feels Santana's arms wrap around her waist and noticed Mateo holding onto his mami, she drives off of the track tapping her honk as she drives past the security cabin and just nods her head as the security guy waves.
