The Pierce residence
After Santana left Brittany got ready to leave for the studio, she wanted to get some extra time in to get out her frustration and sadness. She didn't want her emotions to show on her face and she knew the best way to get rid of that was for her to dance it out. By the time Brittany was ready to leave for the studio it was 6:15 in the morning and she would be at the studio by 6:30.
The Greenwich Hotel
Santana got back to the hotel around 6:20 and took the elevator up to their floor and tried to quietly open the door to their suite, just in case Fabray and Mercedes were sleeping. But to her luck they were both up and getting ready for their first session today with Brittany.
"Where the hell have you been and why didn't you pick up our phone calls?" Quinn questioned.
"I must have fallen asleep, sorry." Santana said with a shrug.
Mercedes eyed her suspiciously before saying "That didn't answer Quinn's first question. Where have you been all night? Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid, we can't be having bad publicity especially since your trying to get your singing career off the ground."
Santana sighed "I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you but I swear it wasn't anything bad, I wasn't even in a public place to be seen."
"Just tell us where you were, you know we won't say anything to anyone" Quinn pleaded just to know Santana was safe.
"Fine." Santana huffed "But you guys have to promise me you will keep your mouths shut and not bring it up again, until I know we can talk about it."
Mercedes and Quinn looked at each other and said simultaneously "We promise, now spill."
"I was at Brittany's apartment because her wife or should I say soon to be ex-wife has been stupid enough to be having an affair." Santana rushed out very quickly in one breath.
Both Quinn and Mercedes were stunned for the moment, both trying to process what Santana had just told them. Finally, Mercedes grinned and said "See now you didn't even have to do that much groveling to get her back, her wife did all the work for you." Mercedes started to laugh.
Quinn laughed as well and said "I bet you comforted Britt all night lone right San?" Quinn waggled her eyebrows and started to giggle.
"Guys stop! It wasn't even like that, Britt was a mess and blaming herself. I've only seen her that upset only one other time." Santana started to look upset but continued "Britt's too fragile right now and it would be selfish of me if I took advantage of that, even though that's all I want to do right now is swoop in and save her."
"Wow, that's very mature of you Satan but what happens when we have to go back to LA in two weeks?" Mercedes stated.
Santana thought carefully about it for a second before saying "I don't know right now but if at anytime during these two weeks Britt wants me then I will give myself to her. I owe it to her for everything we have ever been through either as a couple or as friends. Brittany deserves everything that is good in this world and if she thinks that's me then I can't let her down again."
Quinn was first to speak after that little speech from Santana "What about your life in LA? Or even your studio?"
What Quinn said hit Santana hard, what was she going to do if the opportunity came knocking? How would she keep her promise if she had other things tying her down on the other side of the country?
Meanwhile at Unicorns Unite Dance Studio 6:30am
Brittany has just arrived at the studio still feeling down about what had happened last night. She doesn't know what to do she has been with Emily for 4 years. Obviously, she knows she is going to have to file for divorce, cheating is not something Brittany can or should deal with especially since it was a full-blown affair. Brittany brings her things to her office before heading to one of the second-floor studios to work off some of this hurt and anger. She pulls out her iPod and hooks it up to the speakers, she makes sure the music is so loud that it is almost shaking the floor. She can feel the beat going through her body and immediately starts to dance hard. At around 7:45 Brittany's assistant let her know she was in for the day. Brittany was so focused on her dancing that she didn't even notice the three-other people in the room until she looked into one of the mirrors in the studio and locked eyes with dark brown orbs staring right back at her with all the emotion in the world.
"Damnnnnnn Britt. I knew you still had it but damn girl, you gonna be good for our routines today?" Mercedes smiled at Brittany.
Brittany sheepishly smiled "Of course Mercedes. I can keep this up all day, I'm like the energizer bunny that keeps going."
"Glad to see some things never change Britt." Quinn smiled.
"Did you guys really think Britt would risk being tired for this? She knows how important this is for us and she's one the best, it's why we picked her right?" Santana questioned.
Brittany blushed "Thanks guys but come on we've got a lot to work on, we have to perfect two routines and god only knows how much you three have been dancing these past 7 years." Brittany said jokingly.
"Hey! I've danced a few times for my shows." Mercedes stated.
"I know Mercedes, but seriously let's start working on the first routine with some of the other dancers I've asked to help with the performance." Brittany said as she walked out of the studio to get the other dancers. While Brittany was gone the three girls started to stretch.
"Well I am just going to come out and say it, Brittany has gotten hottttter. I didn't know she had such rock-solid abs. They look like you could cut glass on them." Quinn stated.
"Easy there Fabgay, you're gay is showing." Santana laughed.
"She does have valid point though Brittany has matured very nicely." Mercedes said.
"Yeah she's always be-" Santana was cut off when Brittany came back in with 4 other dances and Mike.
"Okay guys, so first me and Mike are going to show everyone the choreography I came up with for the first song. Since this is a happy song and we have done this song in Glee Club, Mike and I decided to use some of the choreography, but make it have more dancing. We don't want to outshine Santana's voice so the choreography won't be too much." Brittany said.
"Right but we also want the audience and everyone watching to know that Santana can perform and sing at the same time." Mike added after Brittany.
Everyone nodded along and agreed with what Mike and Brittany had just said. After about two hours of showing everyone the choreography and showing everyone where they would be for the performance they thought it was time to have a slow run through.
"Okay it looks like most of you have the steps down, why don't we have a slow run through and see if anything is off or needs to be fixed." Brittany said. Everyone got into their places and Brittany turned the song they were practicing for on repeat. After about an hour of slowly running through the choreography Brittany stopped everyone.
"Let's take a water break, you guys are picking up on the choreography pretty quick and I'm impressed." Brittany smiled.
Everyone broke off to grab some water or Gatorade, while Brittany walked up to Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana. "It's great to see you guys can still move so great." Brittany smiled to them.
"I told you I danced a few times before today." Mercedes said proudly.
"I guess with Glee Club and Cheerios how can you forget how to dance, it is like riding a bicycle." Quinn laughed.
Brittany turned to look at Santana "Glad to see you didn't forget how to dance, I was a little worried at first." Brittany winked and then giggled.
Playfully Santana said "I am the best dancer out here besides you." Quinn, Mercedes, and Brittany all laughed along.
"Well I am glad you guys are catching on quicker than expected that means we can probably start working on the other piece by the end of this week and that one is going to be a little more difficult and is going to need all the time we can give it." Brittany said.
"Alright everyone let's get back to work we got a performance to give in less than two weeks." Mike said.
"That's our cue guys, let's rock this." Brittany said excitedly.
The next couple of hours were Brittany and Mike pushing everyone to their limits to make sure the choreography was down.
"Alright guys let's meet back here tomorrow at 9 am. We have most of the choreography down but let's work more on the timing tomorrow." Brittany said. She waved to mike as he left to go home to Tina.
Brittany carefully walked up to the three girls and said "Good job today girls, can't wait to be back here tomorrow." Brittany hugged each of them and when she got to Santana she lingered a little longer than she did with Mercedes or Quinn.
Quinn and Mercedes noticed and looked at each other before Quinn said "Yes we can't wait either. See you tomorrow Brittany." And with that Quinn and Mercedes started to walk out while eyeing Brittany and Santana.
"Sooo, are you going to be okay tonight?" Santana asked.
"Oh uh yeah I'll be okay, thanks though for the concern." Brittany said.
"No problem, if you need anything you know how to reach me." Santana smiled and reached her hand out to Brittany's arm to give a reassuring smile.
"I appreciate it, means a lot to me." Brittany sighed. After that Santana left Brittany alone to her thoughts in the studio. Brittany turned on some music and started to dance some more. She didn't even notice she started to cry as a slower song with raw emotion came on. She held on to one of the ballet bars and let the tears flow.
