"Britt, San!" Quinn yells from the living room so I walk in there.
It's about 6pm and the furniture is now back where it belongs. Rachel and Quinn wanted to leave early Sunday morning so I'm trying to pack my shit.
"What?" I say grumpily
"What's with you?" Quinn asks
"I'm tired. I don't know why we can't leave Monday instead." She rolls her eyes
"Look, Rachel and I want to go spend a few hours with Mike and Finn so you guys are on your own for a little while. We'll call on our way back to see if yall need anything from the store." Quinn says
"We need to leave around 6 in the morning to get there in time for dinner like Nina wants" Rachel said then looked straight at me, "You're driving first"
I roll my eyes, waiting for them to leave.
5 minutes later I'm sliding the chain lock on the door and Santana is walking towards me
I grin at her and pull her into my arms. She sighs against my shoulder.
"You alright?" I ask softly
She nods and looks up at me.
"I miss you when we can't be like this"
I nod, "I know. Me too"
"So this week should be interesting" She says and smiles at me
I laugh and nod, "I'll be something"
"Your ex will be there" she adds and I look at her
"Not too excited about that" I say quietly
"Why, you still love her?" She smirks
"No baby, I don't" Boy those words sounded a lot like something else that shouldn't be anywhere near our relationship…yet
She notices and smiles before going and grabbing a beer. I follow her and we start making out in the kitchen.
"Wanna go to my room?" She asks and I nod
When we get in the she grabs my beer and sets it, with hers, on a shelf before pulling me to her.
We move to her bed and start stripping our clothes till there's a knock on the apartment door. I groan but I have to see if it's one of the girls.
When I answer it, it's some black girl that I recognize from school but I don't know her.
"Uh, yeah?" I say
"Does Santana live here?" she asks and I nod
"Santana!" I holler and invite the girl in
Santana walks in and runs over to the girl "Cedes! What are you doing here?"
"Girl, I told you I was coming by tonight. I need your paper."
"Shit, sorry I forgot um come on in and have a seat. Britt, can I talk to you for a sec?" I nod and we go back to her room
"What's wrong?" I ask
"Nothing's wrong but she's a friend of mine and I completely forgot that she was coming over tonight"
"It's fine. I can do my own thing and you can hang with her" I say quietly
"God, Britt, no I want to spend time with you but I need to talk to her about our project for a few minutes."
"Alone. I get it. Should I go to my room or leave or will yall be back here? Just tell me what to do San."
"I'll bring her back here. Here, take your beer. This shouldn't take long"
San and her friend disappear into her room and I sit on the couch watching tv.
Then there's another knock on the door and of course it's Dani.
"She's busy, what do you want?" I say opening the door
"I miss her and figured I'd come see my girl" Dani says smirking
"Well she's busy, like I said so you'll have to wait till another time" I say, hating the way she's talking about Santana like they're together.
Just then Santana's bedroom door opens and San comes out with the girl.
"Cheating on me, Babe?" Dani smirks
Santana's eyes widen a bit but she stays calm, "Mercedes, I'll work on it and you finish up your side." The girl nods and waves to me as she leaves. I wave back but leave the door open.
"You can leave too" I add to Dani
"I'm good." She says before turning to Santana, "I need to talk to you. Can we go to your room?"
"No, what do you need, Dani?" Santana asks with a little edge
"Who was that chick?" Dani asks and I try not to be nosey. I go to the kitchen but I can still hear them.
"She was a friend that I'm doing a school project with, not that it's any of your business. What do you need?"
Dani sighs and says, "I missed you and figured we could spend some time together since you owe me for the eighth from last month. Figured you could pay up now"
Santana stay quiet for a second, "Dani, I don't have any money right now"
"That's ok, you can pay in another way if you'd prefer."
I clench my jaw
"Dani, I'm not sleeping with you"
"It's not like you're with anyone, babe. Come on, it's time to pay up."
"Damn-it Dani, you know that I don't have any money"
"And I'm giving you another option."
"I can't…I won't do that" Santana whispers and I go to my room and grab some cash, putting it in my pocket
When I come out I see Santana standing there staring at Dani who has a smirk on her face.
"Hey San, everything alright?" I ask trying to stay casual
"Um, yeah"
"Santana just has to show me something in her room. We'll be out in a few minutes" Dani says and Santana shakes her head
"I don't think that's gunna happen Dani" I reply
She looks at me, "Well, you see, Santana owes me and I'm here to collect."
"Here" I hand her some cash, "Now get out"
She smirks and glances at Santana, "You gunna let her pay your debt"
"I said get out, now" I say with force and Dani's smirk widens but she leaves.
I turn back to San and see that she about to cry. I lock the door and pull her into my arms.
"Baby, it's ok" I say quietly and she shakes her head
"No Britt it's not. You just paid for my weed; you should never have to do that."
"She was gunna make you sleep with her and there's no way in hell I'm gunna let that happen."
She nods, "I'll pay you back but I need a new job"
"What happened to your old job?"
"I still have it but in order for me to pay everything I owe to everyone I need a second job."
I shake my head, "No San. Don't worry about paying me back"
"What, you gunna make me sleep with you?" She asks smirking
I laugh, "San, I'd never force you to do anything like that, ever. I might ask you on a date though"
"Baby, stop being sweet. This has turned out horribly. You paid Dani, I'm late on my part of a project and now Dani knows we're sleeping together"
"Wait, I'm confused…"
"She saw me come out of my room. Last night she saw me come out of your room. It's kinda obvious."
"Well fuck that, I don't care. Do you want me to send Puck to rough her up?" I ask grinning
"She's got guys"
"So does he"
She rolls her eyes and pulls me to her room.

So we're all packed in the car and headed out. It's around 6 or so in the morning. Mom wants us to be there by dinner so we have to head out early.
Since it's a 9 hour trip we all decided to wear comfortable clothes. I'm wearing some training pants and a t-shirt. The other girls are all wearing sweatpants and t-shirts.
I start as the driver. I didn't get the chance to spend a second alone with San this morning before we left which completely sucks ass. I really wanted to at least kiss her before we headed out but nope.
"Ok, so what car games should we play?" Rachel asks
"Rachel, I already have to be seen driving your Prius. No car games" I reply
"Britt, babe," Quinn says, "We have a 9 hour drive ahead of us and that doesn't include stops. Rachel has to be able talk every 30 minutes or she'll explode"
I sigh, "Fine but no show tunes"
/
It's been a fucking hour of 'I spy' and I'm about to lose it so I pull off at an exit and into a gas station. I get out of the car and go inside.
I grab a Gatorade and some M&M's. I can see the girls stretching their legs. I look at Santana and it just amazes me how she can make sweatpants, a t-shirt, messy bun and glasses look so fucking sexy.
I pay for the stuff and an about walk out to the car when Santana walks into store.
"Take that stuff to the car and meet me in the bathroom." She whispers as she walks by.
"Britt, didn't feel the need to get anything for us?" Quinn the smartass asks when I get outside
"No, but I will. Would you like something?" I reply causing Quinn and Rachel to look at me weird. "What?"
"That was nice…" Rachel starts
"What are you up to?" Quinn cuts in
Ok, I have to admit that I was still in 'Santana Mode', but hey, I can be nice…sometimes.
"Shut up Fabray. Do you guys want something or not?"
"There she is" Rachel says and I roll my eyes
"I'll take the same thing you have." Quinn says
"I'd like a thing of jelly beans and bottled water please" Rachel adds.
"Let me use the restroom and then I'll get it." I reply and go back into the store. They nod and get into the car.
I walk to the restroom and knock. Santana opens it and pulls me in.
"Hey baby" I say before kissing her
She kisses back for a minutes then pulls back, "Britt, I hate I spy"
I laugh, "Me too" I kiss her once more, "When we get to my parent's house I plan to disappear with you for an hour or so…somehow."
"Good" She whispers and kisses my cheek before walking out.
I get their stuff and head back to the car. When I get back to the car Quinn's in the driver seat and Rachel is in the passenger. Both of them are so focused on their phones they don't notice me and Santana smile at each other.
I get into the back seat, pass out the goods and we're off.
Santana sits sideways and puts her legs on my lap while the other two girls discuss their straight issues.
"What's your family like?" Santana asks
"Um, annoying" I laugh, "but I love them."
Quinn laughs, "The Pierce family will claim you as theirs as soon as they see you."
Rachel nods, "They'll love you, Santana"
"They will" I add smiling at her. She smiles back at me
/
I'm driving again and everyones asleep so I reach over and grab my earbuds. I out only one in and listen to some music.
I don't realize that I'm softly singing along with the music. Quinn wakes up and smirks at me. I take out the ear bud and look at her funny.
"What Fabray?"
"You need to smoke" she says smirking
"Why do you say that?" I ask confused
She laughs lightly, "Cause, babe, you haven't stopped tapping your hand on the steering wheel since before I fell asleep."
I grin and pull over at a rest stop.
"I'm gunna light up. Should I wake the others?" I ask wondering if they would want to smoke too
She shakes her head, "Nah come on."
We get out of the car and walk over to the vending machine to grab some snacks then go back to the car. I open the glove compartment and open the small door inside. Rachel would kill me if she found out about it.
As I light the joint Quinn asks, "So what do you think of Santana?"
I look at her funny and say, "You do know that she's asleep in the back seat, right?"
"Duh. I just wanna know if you actually like her. I think she's really cool."
"Yeah she's really cool"
She starts laughing, "You are obviously talking to some chick cause you're all tamed now."
"What do you mean?"
"B, normally you'd be like 'She's stupid hot'." She says trying to imitate my voice
"First I don't sound like some washed up surf dude. Second, she is hot. Extremely hot."
"Yeah but you've got something going on. I wish you'd just tell me who your talking to cause you didn't even try to sleep with that Dani chick"
"That Dani chick is a bitch" I mumble taking the joint from her
"I agree but…" She starts before
"Do you guys really have to smoke in my car? I can't stand that." Rachel cuts in, stretching
"Jesus Rachel!" Quinn exclaims, making me laugh
"I need to pee" Rachel mumbles and gets out of the car
"Now I need to fucking pee" Quinn adds and follows Rachel to the bathroom
"So you think I'm extremely hot, huh?" Santana says
"Shit, baby." I say, not expecting her to be awake
She laughs and steals the joint, "You're cute"
"I'm glad you think so" I mumble, "Wanna show me how cute you think I am?"
She hums then says, "I would but our roommates are coming back to the car" right before Quinn opens the back door and sits next to San.
Rachel sits next to me and gives me a glare, "Was the weed in my car Brittany?"
"What? No! I just saw a guy selling it on a corner and…yeah sorry" I huff
"Whatever guys, focus" Quinn cuts in, "We are about an hour out so I think we should freshen up here and drive straight to the house."
We all agree and the three of them grab jeans as I pull a little out of the way so that they can change. I get out of the car and stretch my legs while they change.
I don't sneak a peek as Santana changes her pants though. Cause I would never do that.
I really hope that you can sense the sarcasm here, folks.

It's 3 and we're almost there. We didn't stop very many times. I swear I'm nervous as hell for them to meet Santana and the other way around. I'm currently driving and Quinn's sitting next to me. All of the girls are putting on a little makeup. I don't know why, they all look fine.
I turn onto my street and see my house.
I take a deep breath and Quinn places her hand on my shoulder.
"Hun, it'll fine" She says and I nod as I pull into the driveway.
Quinn reaches over and honks the horn as I get out.
I'm tackled by my sister, "Britt!"
I laugh, "Hey Nat! How tall are you now?"
I pull back and look at her. She reaches my chin now. My mom and dad are hugging Quinn and Rachel.
"This is Santana!" Rachel says smiling
Natalie elbows me in the ribs and drags me away, "It's her isn't it?" she whispers and I all I do is smile, "She's hot"
"Back off mini-me" I smirk and she laughs. She's bi, by the way. "and no one knows so keep it zipped." She nods and we walk back over to everyone.
"Brittany Pierce!" My mom shouts, pointing at me and I hold my hands up in surrender, "Get these bags while I talk to the girls" and just like that she steals my roommates and goes inside
I sigh, "Hey dad"
"Hey BB," He says as he gives me a hug, "Your new roommate seems nice"
I nod, "She is"
"Well let's get this stuff before your mother comes back" He adds
My dad's always been pretty quiet but he's such a great guy.
We grab the bags and go inside. We take them to the basement where we'll all sleep. Mom already has two air mattresses set up. No privacy at all, of course.
I hear them all laughing and I already know that mom pulled out the embarrassing pictures. She doesn't even know that Santana's my girlfriend and she's already embarrassing me. I roll my eyes and grab a beer from the fridge before walking into the living room. Natalie is animatedly talking to Quinn about Mike while Rachel and Santana are looking at my pictures with my mom. Dad walks in drinking a beer and smiles at me before taking a seat in his recliner and grabbing the paper.
Home Sweet Home
/
We all sit down at the table for dinner. I'm sitting between Nat and Quinn. Natalie keeps smirking at me.
"So Brittany" My mom says, "What's her name?"
"Mom, we've discussed this. This is Natalie, your other daughter." I mumble and Quinn smacks my arm
"Brittany Pierce, who is this mystery girl that you're hiding from everyone?" Mom says seriously
"Mom, please drop this." I reply and Natalie cuts in before mom can continue.
"Sugar's in town" she says quietly
I know that she's making sure that I'm warned since she now knows about Santana. Sugar can be a handful.
"I heard she might be. Pass the bread" I reply
"That's it?" Mom asks as dad hands me the bread
"What?" I say
"Your ex-girlfriend is in town and you have nothing to say about it?" Mom expands
"Mom, I have an ex in New York too but I have nothing to say about that either. Ex stands for in the freaking past." I reply and take a bite of my lasagna.
I can't even look at Santana right now. I can't imagine how awkward she feels.
/
After dinner we all go into the living and Mom starts talking to Quinn, Santana and Rachel about the latest clothes in her shop. I take a seat on the floor, leaning back against the wall. Nat walks over and sits next to me.
"So, how long?" She asks quietly
"Couple of days, officially that is. What do you think about her?" I reply watching mom and my roommates
Nat taps my arm, "Follow me" she says as she stands up and I follow her. We get to the backyard where there's a swing set from when we were young. She sits down on a swing while I take another one.
"So, what's up?"
"I like her, but she's your roommate…"
I sigh, "So what?"
"Britt, that's like danger zone shit"
"I don't care. She's like…she's…"
"She's…what Britt?"
"She's…"
"Are you girls going to back inside?" My mom yells from the back door
"Yeah, be there in a sec" I reply then turn to my sister, "She's amazing. Get to know her and you'll understand."
Nat nods and we walk back inside.
/
By the time we need to go to bed I'm exhausted and I still haven't gotten to sneak away with Santana for even a second.
We're all changing in pjs and brushing our teeth when Nat call Rachel and Quinn to come to her room for a minute. Remind me to hug my sister.
The second we hear the basement door close Santana's on me. We're kissing slowly till she pulls back and I smile at her.
"My sister knows" I say and her eyes widen, "She won't tell anyone but she figured it out about 2 seconds after Rachel introduced you."
Santana smiles and laughs, "How have they not figured it out?"
"I don't know and I don't care. I like you and I am about to just say fuck it and tell them." I say seriously
"Not yet, give it the rest of this week so they can see that we work as roommates."
I nod and kiss her before we hear the basement door open and our roommates cme back downstairs.
