AUTHORS NOTE: Hello there! Welcome to my new story, Jagged Little Tapestry. I only just recently began writing fan fiction and am really excited to share this new project with you. If you haven't already, you should go and check out my Vampire Diaries story (if you want, no pressure lol).
I just wanted to preface by saying that I don't own any of these characters but am glad to be able to add to their story.
Also, thank you so much for choosing to read this and I would appreciate feedback. Anyways, without further ado, happy reading!
(Note: My notes won't be this long in the future but since this is the first one I just had to get a few things out. )
"Britt!" Santana glanced behind as she dragged along a bulking suitcase through the crowd. "We're gonna miss our flight!" Brittany trailed a few feet behind her girlfriend trying to hold all of her belongings.
"Last boarding call for Flight 281 from Mytilene to Honolulu," a voice rang through Lesbos' International Airport.
"Shit." Santana thought as she heard the warning from the speakers above. Weaving through the crowd standing in her way, she may or may not have body checked a few people. Brittany followed the path Santana had left behind and was closing the gap between the two. Within moments of the announcement being made, Santana slammed her boarding pass on the gates counter.
"You made it just in time," a perky lady smiled from behind the counter reaching for the boarding pass. Santana forced a smile through her heavy breathing as Brittany reached her side.
"Did we make it?" huffed the blonde, a worried look on her face.
"Of course we did," Santana reassured, a more genuine smile appearing. The ground attendant scanned their boarding passes and motioned them to the plane. Santana reached for Brittany's hand as they both beamed, lugging their baggage beside them. As they reached their seats, they placed their luggage in the over head compartment and plopped into their seats, Brittany in the aisle and Santana by the window. "That was a close call." Santana let out a sigh as she looked over to her girlfriend.
"Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't have fooled around in the Sky Club." Brittany grabbed Santana's hand.
"Ehh, it was worth it," Santana shrugged and smiled as she leaned over to peck Brittany on the lips. Brittany let out a little giggle.
"Totally."
The pair had just spent two long, romantic weeks on Lesbos Island in Greece. After their "hiatus", as they like to call it, (because neither of them likes mentioning the time they had spent broken up), they took a long Summer getaway trip to the island. The whole time they were there, they made up for time lost during their "hiatus" consisting of love making (frequently), long late night chats, and romantic picnics. It was a dream come true for the both of them. They forgot about everything they had left behind in Ohio and just focused on the present. After their two week vacation, they decided to travel to another exotic location. Hawaii. The two girls had always dreamt of traveling to Honolulu ever since they were little and were happy that they could experience this first together. Though their weeks had been amazing in Lesbos, there were still conversation needed to be had about their time spent apart, but neither of the dared to bring it up and ruin their little getaway.
Santana's POV :
I've never really liked flights because they make me nervous. But, having Brittany next to me made me feel more secure. As I looked out the window I heard a giggle come from Brittany. I couldn't help but smile because the sound of her joy always warmed my heart. I looked over at her to see what she was laughing at.
"What's so funny?" I smiled as I saw her looking down at her phone.
"It's Lord Tubbington. My mom sent me a photo of him in the bath," she giggled. "Look." She moved her phone over so I could see.
"That stupid ass cat," I thought in my head, careful not to show my disgust on my face. I push a laugh out trying to sound as genuine as possible. I can't stand that cat. It seems like he has a vendetta out for me or something because every time we're alone, he tries to either claw my face or bite me. I pretty sure he tried suffocating me once in my sleep because when I woke up, he was laying on my face, paw over my mouth. If Brittany didn't love him so much, I would "accidentally" drive him to a bridge and throw him off. But, he makes her happy and I'd hate to see that change, so he's safe, for now at least.
I look over at Brittany who is admiring the picture of the matted demon on her phone and can't help but smile. God I love her so much. In fact I love her more now than I did before our trip, which I didn't think was even possible. I glance down at her phone a see a text from Sam pop up. "What the fuck?" I think. Brittany opens the message and laughs again. "No me gusta!" I say to myself. Why is he sending her messages and why is she laughing at them. In order to not sound overprotective and jealous, well not more overprotective and jealous than usual, I ask her who she is texting.
"Oh it's just Sam," she says looking up at me. "He was just sending a meme," she nudges my arm, "Nothing more," she reassures.
"You can text whoever you want, Britt." I tried to keep my voice playful, but my girlfriend knows me all too well.
"There's no need to get jealous, San. He actually wasn't even texting me. He sent it in our group chat. See." She shows me her phone and I see the names of former glee club member, including mine, lined at the top of her screen. "You probably didn't get it 'cuz your phone is on airplane mode."
A part of me is relieved but another part feels bad for making Brittany feel as though she has to explain herself to me. "Thanks for telling me, Brittany," I say grabbing her hand. "But I don't want you to feel as though you have to explain yourself to me. I trust you," I smile at her.
I did mean it. I do trust Brittany, more than I trust anyone else in this world. But, a part of me does worry because we both haven't really talked much about our hiatus. I know that we need to discuss it and the people we got with during that time. Not every detail needs to be shared, but we at least need to get that stuff out of the way before we can keep moving forward. I don't know what that entails exactly but with Brittany, I'm learning to take things as they come.
"I trust you too, San. And I love you so much." My heart melts at her words as she leans in and kisses me, my heart melting even more. I pull away and stare into her ocean eyes.
"I love you too, Brittany."
Brittany's POV :
I'm so freaking excited for Hawaii. I've always wanted to go and am so stoked that I'm able to travel there with Santana. I know she hates flying, but I'm super proud that she's being a trooper. I feel a buzz in my lap and look down. I smile spreads on my face as a see a picture my mom sent me of Lord Tubbington in a bath. His cute little fur is stuck to his body making him look like a grump whale. I can't help but laugh imagining him swimming underwater gulping little fish.
"What's so funny?" Santana asks smiling. Her smile is so cute and makes me smile even more. I show her the picture of Lord Tubbington. She laughs though I know she is faking it. She doesn't really like Lord Tubbington, but I understand why. I don't think he likes her very much either, in fact he said so in his diary. But, I love Santana more than anything and he's just going to have to deal with it. I look back down at the picture and smile imaging all the thoughts probably going through his head. I know he hates baths and is probably giving my mom a hard time. Suddenly a message from Sam pops up. He sent a cat meme in the group chat. I laugh at the picture of a grumpy cat wearing a catsuit and text back laughing emoji.
"Who are you texting?" asks Santana. I tell her that it is just Sam, hearing the bit of concern in her voice.
"He was just sending a meme. Nothing more." Her brows are slightly frowned and she bites her lip. I know Santana super well, and when her face looks like that, I know she's jealous.
"You can text whoever you want, Britt." She was trying really hard to keep her voice leveled. She is definitely jealous but it's cute on her. I do understand why she would be. Sam and I had dated during our hiatus so it makes sense she is on high alert when it comes to him. There are some things that I know the both of us have to discuss about the time we spent apart, but I'm a little nervous to talk about it. It's not like anything ground breaking happened, I just don't like thinking about having been with somebody else but Santana, and I definitely don't like the thought of her being with anybody else but me. But I know that we're gonna have to discuss it sooner or later, and I know San is itching to talk about it too.
"There is no need to get jealous," I try and convince her. I tell her that he sent everybody the meme and see a look of relief wash over her. I put my phone on airplane mode and drop it in my lap before she looks over at me.
"Thanks for telling me, Brittany." She grabs my hand which makes heart flutter. I love how after the countless times we have held hands, it always feels like the first time with her and I don't think it will ever get old. "But I don't want you to feel as though you have to explain yourself to me. I trust you."
I knew she trusted me, but hearing her say it made me really happy.
"I trust you too, San," I smile. "And I love you so much," I say as I lean in to give her a kiss, that also never getting old.
