*Santana's POV*
Tonight?
"Wow. Wait what? We're going to Lima tonight?" Brittany yelled she sounded so excited (She always loved the Glee Club) but me, not so much. I suddenly felt dizzy, I stumbled backwards and fell onto the couch.
"San!" I heard Britt running over to me, she pulled me into her arms and held me close to her "Baby, we don't have to go if you don't want to we can stay here. We-" I cut her of by standing up and walking towards the stairs, I heard her calling my name and I turned my body to face her and smirked
"Well, we need to pack if we're going to Lima tonight right?" I smile at them and see Brittany takes a few steps towards me
"San? Are you sure?" She whispered, I stepped off the bottom step and reached out for her hands. Such comfort from just one touch
"Yes baby, I want to see Mr Schue and the Glee Club. I want to apologise for everything I did to them and I want to show them all how much I am in love with you as well as how much I have changed, changed for you. And I'm doing this because I need it, I need to face my demons in order for me to fully forgive myself and move on. I also think you need it, I think we need to go back to Lima, back to McKinley together to make new memories there. To face our past together. Because Brittany, I love you, I love you more than the stars love the moon. And I have always loved you. I want to do this to prove myself to you." Tears were flowing down my cheeks, Brittany let go of my left hand and used the pad of her thumb to wipe away my tears and then she kissed me. She kissed me with so much passion that it felt like the oxygen was being pulled out of the air. The tingling sensation from the touch of her lips was sent around my body at lightning speed, it felt as though I was being lifted off the ground and spinning around in the air.
Once we pulled away from one another we leaned our foreheads against each others "Santana Lopez, you are truly incredible and I would be honoured to go back to McKinley with you. But on one condition" Brittany whispers and I nod "When we get to Lima, the first thing we do after dropping our bags off, let me take you to Breadstix" Brittany says with a twinkle in her eye
"You mean like a-like a date?" I questioned, my eyes widened with the words that had just fallen from my eyes
"I probably should have asked you in a better, more obvious way" Britt giggles and then she gets down on one knee "Santana Diabla Lopez, will you go on a date with me?"
"Of course I will. Now get up here and kiss me" I say she jumps up, grabs me by the waist and spins me around before putting me down and kissing me. Quinn and Rachel come barging down the stairs with their suitcases packed and their passports in their hands
"Go and pack! Otherwise we'll miss our flight!" they yell as they run out the door to put their stuff in the car, Britt and I on the other hand run up the stairs and throw our stuff inside our suitcases. 15 minutes later we're shoving our suitcases in the boot of the car and heading off to the airport.
We arrived with half an hour to go before our flight. We ran through the terminal and boarded our plane. It took about 2 hours to get to Lima.
We got a cab over to my Mami's house while Quinn and Rachel went to their own places. When we unloaded our suitcases from the cab I began to worry and panic last time I was here I was hurting so badly inside, I'd lost everything that meant something to me. Before I had time to dwell on the past I heard the door open and saw my Mami with tears in her eyes and her arms open wide, I ran to her and cried into her arms. Once we pulled away she grabbed my face and just smiled at me.
"Santana, you look so happy" She whispered
"That's because I am Mami, look" I told her whilst turning around to face Brittany, I heard a gasp from behind me and I walked towards Britt. "Come on" I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards my Mami "Hi Mrs Lopez" Brittany whispers, she looks so shy, it's adorable. Brittany is the only person who still gets nervous around my Mom, she's known her for years and she's still nervous.
"Brittany! Dear, I have missed you coming round here! How are you? How are your parents?" Oh shit.
"I think they're ok. I wouldn't know um they kicked me out" Britt whispers with tears in her eyes, I lean over and put my arm around her waist
"Oh dear, Britt, I'm so sorry, come in both of you" she opens the door for Britt and I and we walk in carrying our suitcases. We take them up to my bedroom, it hasn't changed. Black walls, pictures of me and britt, me and Q, the Glee Club all in frames. On my bed side table are my Oscar shaped candles. The poster above my bed still hangs. My favourite picture of me and my Dad was in a frame on my bedside table, it was when we went out in the summer he took me to the beach and we just spend a day together. I've also got a picture of me, my Dad and Britt together. When we were younger he took us to the fair and Britt wanted a picture so that's what we got.
"Britt? It's 7pm do you want to go to Breadstix?" I ask her after we unpack our bags
"Yeah, but San, don't you want to spend some time with your mom?" She asked and I walked over to her and grabbed her hands
"Tonight, I just want to be with you" she smiled and just nodded. We both got changed, Britt wore a pair of black skinny jeans with a white shirt, a navy blue waist coat and black jacket. To top it all off she had her hair in smooth curls flowing down her shoulders. She looked so beautiful. I chose to wear a red knee length dress with a short leather jacket on top.
"Santana, you look stunning" Brittany whispered
"Britt, you look beautiful" I smiled at her and she grabbed hold of my hand, we walked downstairs and we were met with my Mami
"Ooo you two look beautiful! Where are you going?" she asked with a slight smirk on her face
"Well, Mami, Britt's taking me on a date" I looked at Brittany and noticed the slight pink tinge to her face
"Aww girls! I'm so glad you two have come back to each other, I remember when you first told me and your Papi that you were together. You were so in love. I'm so happy you found each other again." Mami gushed
"Thank you Mrs Lopez. That means so much to me, to us. Thank you for always accepting me and the relationship we have, you're the closest thing I have to a mother and I couldn't ask for a better one" Brittany says and I see my Mami have tears in her eyes
"Brittany, sweetie, you know I love you like another daughter, of course I'd accept you being with Santana, I couldn't think of anyone better than you to be with my daughter" Mami said and hugged Brittany tightly
"Britt, we got to get to Breadstix before they run out of Breadstix!" I yell with a smile on my face and I begin to run towards the car.
We get to breadstix and take our seats. We're sat in the far corner in one of the booths that we always used to sit in many many years ago, but the feelings we have for each other haven't changed. When the waiter came over he introduced himself and took our drink order obviously because she's Brittany, she ordered pink lemonade and I just ordered a Fanta because it's awesome.
"I'm really glad we did this Santana" Brittany says
"I wanted to talk to you about something" I say and Brittany frowns
"What is it?" She whispers
"Britt, what are we? Are we dating? Or what?" I ask and I know I'm blushing
"Well, I asked you to go out to a meal and we've been spending time together for a while now so I'd say we're dating, but only if you want to because I want to but only if you do cause I don't want to pressure you into anything that you're not ready for" Brittany mumbles and it makes me giggle, I reach over the table and grab hold of her hand, I run my thumb along her palm which instantly calms her
"Brittany, all I have ever wanted was for us to somehow find our way back to each other and now we have of course I want us to be dating. I want to have everything with you, I want us to work our way back to being girlfriends. I've known you for years but it feels like I've known you forever, and there is no doubt in my mind that you are the love of my life and I'm not loosing you again. I'm never letting you go B" I tell her, tears falling from our eyes just then the waiter comes over and takes our food order. Obviously we get a shit load of Breadstix as well as spaghetti and meatballs with some chips on the side for the both of us.
For 2 hours we were sat in the booth just talking, talking about memories from middle school and most of high school, we avoided the topic of Senior year because all that would've done was hurt both of us and that's not a good way for a date to end, especially a first date. I'd forgotten how amazing Breadstix was and so before we left I asked our waiter to get me a take out box full of breadsticks, honestly I think he thought I was crazy but hello, they're breadstix breadsticks.
Brittany and I got back to my Mami's house at about 10 because we decided to walk around Lima for an hour and just be with one another, we walked, held hands and it was beautiful. We got home to Mami sat downstairs holding a book upside down
"Mami? Have you been waiting up for us to get back?" I smirk at her knowing she's been looking out for us
"What? No!" She yells dramatically
"Obviously" I winked and Brittany just laughed, Mami turned a bright red colour and I could tell she wanted to know about the date
"Mami! The date was fine! Britt and I are just trying to get back to what we were before Senior year and hopefully that'll mean we'll get back together and everyday will be like paradise" I blush and Brittany plants a kiss on my cheek
"Well, I couldn't be happier, now I'm going to bed cause I'm tired and I've got work in the morning. Have a good night. Haven't you got your Glee Club reunion tomorrow?" She asks and my heart starts to race
"Yeah it's tomorrow, it should be fun. Santana promised she'd explain everything that happened just before Senior year started, she's so brave. I couldn't be more honoured to have her on my arm when walking into that choir room" Brittany says which causes me to smile widely.
Britt and I headed upstairs just after Mami did and we put on our PJs and stuck a DVD in the player, I think it was the Little Mermaid, I don't know. It got to that part in the film where Ariel is singing about wanting to be part of the human world, I don't know why but I got teary eyed. Britt had her arm around me and must've felt my body shaking as I began to cry silently because she held me tighter
"San? Babe? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She whispered and placed kisses on top of my head
"I'm scared Britt" I sighed
"Aw baby. You shouldn't be, they are all going to understand and they'll still love you. You weren't in Glee Club for most of Senior year but they were all worried about you, Finn, Puck, Tina, Mercedes, everyone they wanted to know why you'd suddenly changed. Once you tell them the truth. Once they know that that wasn't the real you they'll understand. They're going to accept us because everyone in that club knew how much I loved you and you loved me so they'll be happy we got back on track and somehow, somewhere we found each other again. Plus we got an awesome recording contract that is going to make us rich and famous so who wouldn't want to be our friend?" Brittany giggled, she turned to face me "Santana? Promise me that no matter how rich or famous we get, we'll always stay true to ourselves and true to each other. I don't want us to become blinded by fame and forget our love" she sighs and I lean in and kiss her.
"Never loosing you again Britt. No matter what, I will always love you" I whisper against her lips and she smiles into our next kiss which lasted much longer.
