Author's Notes:
Hi everyone! I was able to crank out another chapter rather quickly. I wasn't going to post it until later on in the week because I had more plans for this chapter. However, I got to a point and realized it was a good place to end the chapter. The other plans I had for this chapter will be used in the coming chapters; don't worry, I'm not scrapping any ideas. As always, feel free to leave a review/comment or to send me a private message. I really love hearing from my readers and getting feedback. Anyway, this is a short chapter; I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Santana awoke in her hotel room to a loud crash of thunder. She rolled over and saw the clock read 2:43am. She grumbled, groggily, still a bit tired from the day full of traveling before. She rolled back over to her other side and snuggled back down into the plush blanket and reached for the pillow to her right to snuggle. To her surprise, she felt the presence of someone in the bed with her, which, prompted her to leap out of the bed and flip the bedside lamp on.
As the light illuminated the room, she became aware that the figure in the bed with her was an asleep Brittany, lying perfectly still looking peaceful and beautiful as ever. "Brittany?!" she exclaimed. Santana couldn't tell if she was still asleep and if this was all a dream or if this was actually happening and she had been reunited with Brittany.
Brittany turned over in her sleep, not opening her eyes, "Come back to bed," she pleaded as she rubbed the area of the bed Santana was occupying a few moments before. "This bed gets so cold without you."
Santana's heart was thumping loudly in her chest, "Wh-what are you doing here?" she said softly as she slid back into the bed. She turned to her side and Brittany threw the covers back over her body. Brittany didn't respond verbally. Instead, she responded by gripping Santana's hip softly with her hand and pulling in for a kiss. Brittany reached around behind Santana and tugged on the hem of Santana's tank top and pulled the shirt off of her crush. Santana pressed her chest closer into Brittany's which made Santana realize Brittany wasn't wearing any clothes. With their bodies pressed against one another, Santana intertwined her legs with Brittany's. Brittany slid her hands up Santana's back and ran her fingers through Santana's hair and kissed her deeper. Santana moaned softly relishing in the sensation of her bare chest against Brittany's naked flesh. Their kiss grew more and more intense with each passing moment. Santana pulled her mouth gently away from Brittany's to speak once more. "But how—" she began.
Brittany opened her eyes to take a peek at Santana. Her cobalt eyes sparkled from the dim light coming from the bedside lamp Santana had turned on in a hurry. Her lips parted and she began to speak, "Less talking and more lip action, please," Brittany requested as she went in for another smooch, using her hand on the back of Santana's head to gently guide the girl's mouth into her own.
Santana felt the familiar sensation of the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. She didn't understand how this was possible, but it couldn't be a dream; it felt too real. But just in case this was just a dream she decided to let go and just be in the moment. She wanted to enjoy every second of being with Brittany whether it was reality or just a figment of her imagination. If this was all in her head, she was super proud of herself for having the power to conjure up something so incredibly realistic.
Brittany rolled Santana onto her back and climbed on top of her kissing her deeply and passionately. She flicked her tongue inside Santana's mouth and took Santana's tongue into her own mouth and sucked it genty. Santana moaned with pleasure. Breaking their lip lock, Brittany moved her kisses to Santana's neck and worked her way down her crush's body placing a kiss on just about every inch of Santana's skin from her neck to her navel. Santana's body began to ache for Brittany's touch. She grabbed Brittany's head with both of her hands and pushed it down signaling that she wanted Brittany to place her mouth on a different part of her body.
"Oh wow, you're ready for that already?" Brittany teased is a sexy whispered tone.
"Mhmm," Santana said in between shaky breaths. It was all Santana could muster out.
Brittany pulled herself up to meet Santana's mouth once more and engulfed the brunette in a fiery kiss that almost made Santana's heart explode.
"Brittany, I want you…" Santana moaned once more.
"How much?" asked as she nibbled on Santana's neck.
"Fuck..." Santana said as she arched her back off of the bed in response to the sheer euphoria she was feeling from Brittany's touch. "More than I have ever wanted anything."
"As you wish, my love," Brittany said with a smile before she made her way down Santana's body. She slipped Santana's underwear off and with a bit of force she spread Santana's legs apart. She began placing sweet and gentle kisses on Santana's inner thighs. Santana's hips began to jerk forward in anticipation of what was about to happen. Brittany lowered face into the space between Santana's legs—
Suddenly, Santana was jolted awake by a loud crashing sound and then a sudden feeling of being pulled forward. "Fuck!" she exclaimed as she hastily pushed her sleep mask up to her forehead uncovering her eyes and realized what she was experiencing was the plane touching down on the runway. She gripped the armrests on either side of her to try to regain her balance and prevent herself from hurling forward and smacking her face on the seat in front of her.
Her exclamation startled Kurt who was nose deep in yet another Harry Potter book. "Jesus, Santana, you scared the life out of me!" He looked at her with wide eyes.
As the plane began to settle and the force receded, she looked over at Kurt with apologetic eyes. "Christ, sorry about that. I had no idea we were landing." She pulled out her earplugs. "Is that another Harry Potter book, Lady Lips?" Santana asked in disbelief.
He ignored her comment about the book, "I tried waking you a few minutes ago to let you know we were in our final descent but you were out like a bag of rocks."
Santana squinted at him, "Is that the saying? 'Out like a bag of rocks?'"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders, "I think so. I feel like I've heard it before."
"Well, it's dumb, it makes no sense." Santana said in an annoyed tone.
He picked up on the tone and wondered why she was so bothered. She had just slept for the majority of the flight like she wanted thanks to his never-ending supply of melatonin and the ear plugs he provided her. "Are you ok, Santana?"
She looked at him with pointed eyes. "Why wouldn't I be ok?"
"Well because before you went off to your drug-induced dreamland you were telling me about a text from Brittany that went unanswered because of Dani coming out of nowhere—"
She cut him off. "Fuck. I forgot about Dani." She put her head in her hands and began to rub her face. After a few moments she removed her hands and looked at Kurt. "Please help me avoid her whenever possible."
He looked at her with loving eyes, "You know I will, Santana."
"Thank you, Porcelain," she smiled and said in a grateful tone.
He smiled in response before clearing his throat and adding, "So, um, good dream?"
Santana felt her face turn pink, "Dream?" she questioned. "What dream?"
"You talk in your sleep, Santana," He said matter-of-factly then added, "Or maybe this time it would be more accurate to say moan." He giggled like a little schoolgirl.
Santana was mortified but she tried to play it cool. "You wish you were having the type of dream I just had. Your little lady loins couldn't handle all the hotness that I just experienced."
He thought for a moment, "You know, you are probably right." He laughed.
At that moment, the pilot came on the speaker and informed them that the plane was now taxiing to the gate and they would be deplaning in about 5 minutes.
"Thank you, sweet baby Jesus!" Kurt exclaimed. "I cannot wait to get off of this plane!"
"Ugh, me too, Lady H. I'm so ready for a shower."
"Yeah a nice cold one from what I overheard you dreaming about." He teased.
Santana laughed and smacked him in the arm before placing her head on his shoulder. "I hate you sometimes, Hummel."
"You wish that were true." He sighed placing his head on hers.
A few minutes passed and the pilot turns the buckle seatbelt sign off signaling that it is ok for everyone to unbuckle their seatbelts and prepare to disembark. "Alright, good morning everyone. The local time here in London is 1:45pm. Today's forecast is overcast with a high of 52 degrees Fahrenheit with a 90% chance of rain in the afternoon. As always we hope you enjoyed your flight and that you will travel with us again soon. Have a wonderful day!"
"What time does Quinn land?" Kurt wondered out loud as he rose to his feet and opened the overhead compartment.
"I think she is already there." Santana said as she slid into Kurt's seat.
"Oh, she flew out yesterday?" Kurt questioned. He pulled down Santana's bag and handed it to her.
"Thanks," she said in response to him getting her luggage for her.
Kurt nodded as he reached up to get his own bag.
Santana continued. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was going to beat us there so she could make sure everything was in order at the hotel, studio and all." Santana informed him.
Sebastian slid out of his seat into the aisle to make his way to the front of the plane for Artie's wheelchair.
"Oh, that's great!" Kurt said with a smile. "Well, we have the whole day free today. Any thoughts on what you want to do?" He asked with a smile.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. But whatever we do, I want it to involve drinks." She looked over at Artie knowing he would agree. Artie nodded in silent agreement. She smiled.
He laughed, "Of course that is the first thing you think about. We are in London, a city with so much history and culture and you want to hit up a bar!"
"I'm pretty sure London also has some world-famous pubs, Lady Hummel. And besides, Artie agrees." She smiled and winked at Artie. She thought for a moment. "Hey what is the time difference between here and LA?" she wondered. She rose to her feet and made her way out into the aisle.
"I think it's about 8 hours." He thought for a minute then added, "Yeah, 8 hours." He placed his hand on the small of Santana's back and led her off of the plane. They waited just outside the door for Sebastian and Artie to make their way of.
It was too early for Santana to do math. "So that would make it—?"
"5:45. It's 5:45am where Brittany is," he confirmed.
"Thanks," Santana said smiling. She hesitated before asking, "Do you think it's too early to text her?"
He looked at her with 'are you crazy' eyes. "Text her, woman!" He said with a bit of force.
Santana's eyes widened, "Ok, ok. Texting her now."
Kurt realized his tone was a bit extra. "Sorry, I'm a little edgy from being on the plane for so long." He thought for a moment, "Ya know, I could really use a drink."
"Ha!" Santana said with a laugh as she dug her phone out of her bag, "And you just gave me such a hard time about wanting to go to a pub."
"You were right, you were right. Let's go drop our bags at the hotel and get our drink on."
Brit… I know you are probably asleep right now. But I wanted to text you as soon as I could to tell you how sorry I am for leaving you hanging. - Santana
Something crazy happened in the lounge while we were texting, and I got distracted. Then when I remembered our conversation later on the plane, I couldn't connect to the WiFi for some unknown reason. I hope you aren't mad at me. I am really really sorry. – Santana
And also, I will keep your heart safe and sound while I am away. I'll protect it at all costs, and I promise to return it to you immediately when I get back in town. Wishing you were here with me – Santana
After sending the texts, Santana looked up from her phone at the exact moment that Dani and Grayson exited the plane. Her eyes met Dani's for a brief moment, but Santana broke their gaze as quickly as she could.
Grayson nodded to her saying, "See you tomorrow, Santana."
She smiled, "See you tomorrow."
Dani took that as an opportunity to speak to her as well, "Good to see you Santana."
Santana rolled her eyes and gave her attention to Artie and Sebastian that were next to exit the plane. "Hey guys, you want to get go some drinks?" she said with a huge exaggerated purposeful smile.
Dani noticed.
Brittany awoke in bed to the beeping of her cell phone alarm on her nightstand. She reached out to snooze it when she heard someone speak.
"Turn that thing off and put your arms back around me," she heard the voice say softly.
Brittany rubbed her eyes in hopes she could rub some of the sleep away and get them to focus. The voice sounded like Santana, but, that was impossible as Santana would be in London right now. She silenced the alarm and turned to face the voice. Laying beside her she saw her crush. Her heart fluttered with excitement. "Santana! Oh my god, What are you doing here?"
Santana turned over in her sleep, not opening her eyes, "What are you talking about silly? I've been here all night," she said sleepily, her eyes still closed. "Snuggle me, baby," she pleaded, "Please?"
Brittany slid closer and Santana pulled Brittany's body into her own. Brittany could feel her pulse quicken as her body pressed against Santana's bare skin. "You're not wearing any clothes?" she said softly as she began running her fingers down Santana's side.
"Easier access I suppose," she said with a cheeky smile as she moved her chocolate eyes to meet with the cobalt marbles looking back at her. Brittany didn't respond verbally. Instead, she responded by gripping Santana's hip softly with her hand and pulling her in for a kiss. Santana reached around behind Brittany and tugged on the hem of Brittany shirt and pulled the shirt off of her crush. Santana pressed her chest closer into Brittany's. Brittany slid her hands up Santana's back and ran her fingers through Santana's hair and kissed her deeper. Brittany moaned softly relishing in the sensation her bare chest against Santana's naked flesh. Their kiss grew in intensity with each moment that passed. Brittany pulled her mouth gently away from Santana's to speak once more. "I want you—" she began.
Santana's lips parted and she confessed, "I'm yours," she said breathlessly staring at her lips she has been kissing just a moment before.
Brittany rolled Santana onto her back and climbed on top of her kissing her deeply and passionately. She flicked her tongue inside Santana's mouth and took Santana's tongue into her own mouth and started sucking it. Santana moaned with pleasure. Breaking their lip lock, Brittany moved her kisses to Santana's neck and worked her way down her crush's body placing a kiss on just about every inch of Santana's skin from her neck to her navel. Santana's body began to ache for Brittany's touch. She grabbed Brittany's head with both of her hands and pushed it down signaling that she wanted Brittany to place her mouth on a different part of her body.
"That didn't take long," Brittany teased is a sexy smile.
"Mhmm," Santana said in between shaky breaths, "What can I say, you turn me on." She sat up and pulled Brittany into a deep kiss. "Well, what are you waiting for?" she asked as she lowered herself back down onto the bed. She bit her bottom lip in anticipation for what was coming next.
Brittany lowered herself down to meet Santana's mouth once more and engulfed the brunette in a fiery kiss that almost made Santana's heart explode.
"Brittany, I want you…" Santana moaned once more. "Take me; I'm yours." She begged.
"You're mine?" Brittany asked as she nibbled on Santana's neck.
"Mhmm. I'm all yours." Santana confessed eager for Brittany to take her body to the next level.
Brittany began kissing her way down Santana's body.
"Fuck..." Santana said as she arched her back off of the bed in response to the sheer euphoria she was feeling from the touch of Brittany's lips on her skin. She slipped Santana's underwear off and, with a bit of force, she spread Santana's legs apart. She began placing sweet and gentle kisses on Santana's inner thighs. Santana's hips began to jerk forward out of pure desire. Brittany lowered her face into the space between Santana's legs and just as she was about to get a taste of Santana, she was awoken by a text tone.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Brittany shrieked. It was a dream, she thought. "That is so unfair," she whined aloud as she grabbed the pillow to her left and smothered it over her face for a few seconds so she could let out a muffled scream. She didn't want to wake Sugar who was asleep in the next room. This better be important, she thought as she grabbed her phone to check the text. "Ugh! It's not even 6am!" she exclaimed as she noticed the time on the clock. Who would text me this early? She wondered. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the name accompanying the text notification.
Santana.

She sat up with a quickness that almost gave her whiplash and flashed the most genuine smile she had smiled in a long time.
:) :) :) – Brittany
She waited what felt like 10 minutes for a response but in reality, it was only about a minute before Santana responded.
Do those smiles me you forgive me? – Santana
There's nothing to forgive! I'm just glad you made it safely. You did make it safely, right? – Brittany
Lol… yes, I made it safely, silly. How would I be texting you if I weren't safe? – Santana
Good point. Didn't really think that through I guess :P – Brittany
What time is it there? – Brittany
Almost 2pm – Santana
A few minutes pass without anyone texting but Brittany doesn't want to let the conversation fade just yet.
So, how was the flight? Did anything eventful happen or was it just a super boring super long flight. - Brittany
Super boring, super long flight. – Santana
Yuck, that's no fun. – Brittany
It wasn't so bad. I took a bunch of sleeping pills that Lady Hummel had and they essentially knocked me on my ass. So I was asleep for most of the flight. – Santana
Oh, that's good to hear. – Brittany
And I also had someone to keep me company on the flight – Santana
Right, Kurt and your producers were on the same flight – Brittany
Yeah, they were. But I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about you – Santana
Oh man, can I teleport in my sleep finally? Brittany thought to herself. That's super cool.
But, I'm not with you. – Brittany
Well, not now but you were before :) – Santana
I must be teleporting in my sleep! I'm so awesome.
I had a pretty risqué dream about you – Santana
WEIRD! I had a risqué dream about you last night! – Brittany
Seriously? How cool would it be if we both dreamed the same scenario? – Brittany
Super weird lol – Santana
So, tell me about your dream – Brittany
Oh, sweetie, I'd love to, but I really should get going. I'll text you later xo - Santana
Ok! But don't feel like you have to or anything. You should enjoy yourself over there – Brittany
Brit, I'm gonna text you later. I want to text you later – Santana
And maybe if you're lucky I'll provide you with some details of our dreamland tryst. – Santana
I'd like that :) – Brittany
Enjoy your day. I'll text you before I go to bed tonight. Until then… – Santana
Until then :) - Brittany
Brittany squealed with delight over the text exchange she just had with Santana. Everything was fine between them; she hadn't scared her off after all! She had over analyzed that situation and blew the entire thing way out of proportion. She should've known that Santana would never just blow her off. She's way too polite and respectful, to Brittany at least, to do that to her. Afterall, it was Santana that said she didn't want to have any secrets between them. Brittany had nothing to worry about and she knew it deep down inside all along. But she was starting to develop very real feelings for Santana and was trying to at least be aware of her surroundings so that when she did fall for her she wouldn't get hurt.
She couldn't wait to tell Sugar that all was well with Santana. But, it was just barely past 6:00am and Sugar is a fairly late sleeper, just like Brittany. I'll just go back to sleep for a few hours, she thought to herself and she decided to fill Sugar in on the details when she wakes up again.
