I know it´s been forever and I´m really sorry. But, my finals are over and here is an update! I won´t cover the Puck topic in here but in the next chapter! Enjoy this one with lots of family and some love!
Safety was foreign to Santana. Her job was dangerous. Not because she was a lawyer, but because she was a lawyer for Lopez Enterprise. Her reputation of being a stone cold bitch helped a little. Still, there were a lot of people who didn´t like Santana Diabla Lopez.
One of them was Noah Puckerman, she should have known that he would come back and bite her in the ass somehow. Not because he was a smart person, rather because he was dumb as fuck and his plans somehow went wrong and blew up in her face.
It was always like that. When they were sixteen, Puck thought it was smart to steal someone´s car and promised he had the perfect plan. He told Santana he would pick her up later and drive her to a party. The Latina knew something had to go wrong and just like she expected, Puck was caught and thrown into jail overnight. This was just one of his great plans. Santana knew not to trust him in any way. However, Puck always was an easy friend. He was good enough for a night out getting wasted, not more.
Now, Santana knew that something bad would happen soon. She didn´t trust the peace and quiet which was present at the moment. The bodyguards around the house didn´t have a lot to do, besides taking Kurt out to get groceries and watching Quinn in the garden.
Her parents and sister visited Santana again for dinner. It was important that her parents knew everything that was new in her house. And it was a lot. Antonio and Maribel were, until this evening, unaware that Santana made Brittany her equal.
They knew about Santana´s interview, since Antonio forced her to do it but nothing more. Maybe, Rachel told them some stuff, since she has been bugging Santana about meeting Quinn and only Quinn. The Latina tried to wave it of for now. There were more pressing matters than Rachel having sex. `Ew` she thought.
She had opened the dinner conversation with "mom, dad. I made Brittany my equal and I want to be with her." There was not a lot to talk about from there on, that´s what Santana thought. But Maribel went crazy, because she was so happy about it. She knew it was a big deal that her Santana decided to take on an equal, her father was more distant.
"What are you thinking about" Santana´s father asked her. She was staring into the distance and didn´t participate in any way in the conversation.
"Nothing. Well, not nothing. It´s killing me that I don´t know what Puckerman is up to. Everything around here feels so stuck, since nobody can go out as they please. I can´t even take a dip in my pool, because somebody is always watching me" she huffed in frustration.
Her father nodded understanding what bothered her. His wife and Rachel just sat there now, stopping the conversation with Brittany.
"I have people watching him mija and I promise you I want him gone just as much as you. But I rather let him rot in jail than give him the pleasure of dying and therefore, taking the easy way." His deep voice felt so gentle at the moment, Santana knew that he just wanted the best, even though it was hard to see it sometimes.
"Thanks dad, still, I can´t let my employees out on their own because I have to be scared that he would go crazy and kill them even though they have nothing to do with our differences. Furthermore, now that Brittany is my girlfriend and equal I am afraid that Puck will... well just be himself." She looked over to the blonde who send her a shy smile.
"Well" Antonio started "I don´t know what made you have Brittany become your equal, but it is a great step and I´m proud of you. Still, I hope you are aware that this will take a lot of work. A relationship is not easy to maintain. Besides, marriage is even harder work. It´s not always butterflies and sunshine. But this cannot be our priority right now" he turned to Brittany "I´m happy for the both of you and I won´t see you as a slave, still right now the safety of Santana and everybody else in this house is more important."
Brittany nodded and almost whispered "thank you sir" she was happy that Santana´s father accepted her. It wasn´t something she expected to be honest. The last time they visited, he made pretty clear that he wasn´t happy about freeing slaves, making them equals and even marrying them.
She once asked Santana if they have to be married right away, because she remembered Santana´s mother talking about a contract only being void when those two people get married. The Latina took her time and explained everything to Brittany.
She told her that both parties don´t have to be married right away, this was one of the flaws in the paragraph. But it was changed and worked out just well, that a master and a slave can void their contract and don´t have anything to follow this action. She also smiled and told her "this would mean I should have married every single one of my employees now, since I voided their contract." It made Brittany smile.
This made it easier for Brittany to work with everything that was so new to her. Not being a slave, but being free for the first time in her life. Being and equal to someone powerful but more beautiful than she could ever imagine. Santana accepted her for what she was and the future didn´t seem so scary anymore. Besides, of the Puck situation of course.
"Dad, I know that my relationship with Brittany has to become secondary for now. Still, marriage is not on the table, not now at least. But we have to find Puckerman and put him behind bars." Her voice was stern. It was the same voice her father had when he talked business.
"Ok, ok" Maribel interrupted "I know this Noah Puckerman is a problem, but still I would like to have a family dinner at least once. Every time we are sitting together you two are working. What do you do during work then?" Antonio noticed that he should not start an argument with his wife.
"I´m sorry Maribel, but this is about life and death. But for now I´ll let it rest" he turned to Santana "we are talking tomorrow about this" she nodded in agreement and turned to her mother.
"So mami, what do you want to talk about?" she wanted to forget everything at least for an hour.
"Well mija, tell me why you made this beautiful girl your equal?"
Santana knew this question would come sooner or later "I like her. And don´t call her girl, please. Her name is Brittany" she simply answered.
Rachel began to laugh loudly, just like her mother "this is so Santana. ´I like her´. I can´t understand how you are a lawyer. Speaking is your living and this is your answer" she threw her hands up.
"Rachel, you better be nice, you are still in my house. And even though you are my sister, I´m not holding back on pleasantries" she sneered.
"Santana! Rachel! Stop this right now" Maribel warned both of them.
"If I may" Brittany dared to speak up. She waited for someone to allow her to talk.
Santana´s mother then send her a warm smile. "Dear, you don´t have to ask to speak. You are an equal, all we expect is respect, but go on" she encouraged Brittany to talk.
"I really appreciate Santana as a person. She makes me feel like I am worth something, that I am special and beautiful" she never left Santana´s gaze while telling this to their dinner guests.
"And I find it calming when Brittany is around. She is my happy place and there is nothing I could ask for. I have never felt like that towards another person. Brittany completes me" Santana added. Brittany gave her the strength to utter her feelings. It was easier since her vgaze never left Brittany´s eyes.
"Oh my God, Antonio did you hear that? This sounded like marriage vowes! My baby is in love-" Maribel squealed.
Santana was pulled right back into the present. "Woah, woah, woah mami. Love is not in the cards here right now" Santana turned her gaze away from Brittany and interrupted her mother "Brittany and I are happy right now and that is good."
Maribel still tried to hold in a squeal. It was the very first time her daughter cared about somebody and admitted having feelings. How else should she feel?
"I think it is great Santana" her father spoke "but like I said, a relationship isn´t easy. Both of you will face dangers, misunderstandings from society and disagreements within your relationship. It will be harder for you two, not just because you are two women but because you met on a very different level. Brittany will have to become accustomed to her role as your equal and you Santana, will have to accept her as such and grow out of your childish attitude you like to carry around in private."
Brittany wanted to laugh at first. She wasn´t aware that Santana would act childish. She was always so grown up and strict. There was no way.
"Dad, we don´t have to discuss any of this. Brittany as well as me are adults and will learn to live with each other" Santana took a long sip of her drink and exhaled. From the corner of her eye she spotted Rachel giggling.
"Santana" her father´s voice was stern "I don´t want to interfere with your relationship. But you have to understand, that all of this reflects on our business and I will not have your behavior affect it! Therefore, you better be aware of what you are about to get into!"
The blonde was scared, Brittany hated the yelling. Antonio stood up from his seat and walked over the bar to pour himself another drink. When he turned back around he continued "you will listen to me, because as long as you work for MY company" he was getting angrier, well there was the moment Brittany recognized Santana´s rage and where she got it from "you will represent it properly!" He slammed his glass onto the table.
Now it was Santana´s turn to jump of her seat and slam her hand onto the table. Hard. "How can the company stand in a bad light, father? We are mainly working on the contrary side of legal and –"
"Stop that right now" Antonio interrupted "you know exactly what I mean. So don´t you dare taking me for a fool!"
Santana was breathing fast and Antonio as well. Brittany was waiting for Santana´s mother to interrupt, but she was just following the argument.
The blonde gently grabbed Santana´s wrist and when the Latina looked at her she begged her to sit down. Santana followed that plea and sat next to Brittany again. When the blonde wanted to retrieve her hand the Latina pulled it onto her lap and squeezed it.
"Ok father. I will do as you wish. Now, if you don´t mind this tired me and I would like to end this evening now."
After Santana´s family left, they went upstairs without saying a word. The Latina walked into the bathroom without looking at Brittany and the blonde was unsure of what to do now. Shortly after, she decided to follow Santana into the bathroom.
"Hey" she whispered eying Santana in the mirror "everything ok?"
"No. Yes. I don´t know" she huffed "everything is fucked up. I don´t understand what his problem is. I know I´m not good at relationships, but I really want this."
Brittany moved closer and wrapped her arms around the Latina "I really want us too and we will figure it out. I promise" she placed a soft kiss just below Santana´s ear "together we can do anything. So let´s hop in the shower, wash off the day and relax."
Santana just nodded, she already loved how Brittany knew just what she needed. It made her feel warm and tingly inside. Brittany turned on the shower and then helped Santana out of her clothes. When the Latina stepped into the shower Brittany undressed herself and entered as well.
The blonde saw how Santana already shampooed her hair and the way the drops of water ran down her body. Brittany felt her dick twitch, there was nothing sexier than Santana. At least she couldn´t think of anything, she tried once but always came to the same decision. Santana was the hottest woman on earth. She didn´t even notice when Santana turned around, because she was so lost in her thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked the blonde.
Brittany shot her a gentle smile "you and your love" she almost whispered.
This was all Santana needed. She stepped closer, washed her hair clean and pulled Brittany closer. When their lips were just an inch apart Brittany knew she was a goner.
"Let me feel it" Santana whispered while she felt Brittany´s breath and hers mix.
"What?"
"Let me feel this love if you have it for me too" she replied.
Was this their way of saying ´I love you´ to each other? Brittany couldn´t be bothered with this question by now, but she knew she did.
So when Santana´s eyes were shut she kissed her. Brittany put everything she had in that kiss. She pulled Santana into her and then grabbed the Latina´s ass and moved her hands down to her thighs. Santana understood and let herself be hoisted by Brittany.
The blonde used the wall for support and began to kiss Santana harder, forcing her tongue into the Latina´s mouth. Both of their tongues fought for dominance while Santana began rocking into Brittany, she needed to feel her. She needed her now, not in five minutes or later.
"Fuck me, please" she begged. Brittany mistook Santana for being horny at first but then she began to whimper "let me feel something... make me feel that this is the right decision" she cried.
Brittany stopped and almost dropped Santana. She looked into the brown eyes and couldn´t determine which were tears or the water of the shower streaming over her face.
"Pssssst, calm down" Brittany tried to calm her "I don´t think sex is the solution to this. You are just confused right now and we shouldn´t do this" the blonde whispered into the brunette´s neck "I think we should finish this shower and just cuddle tonight. How does that sound?"
Santana´s sobbing quiet down and she nodded.
They finished their shower and went to bed. Brittany opened her arms and let Santana snuggle into her.
"San, can you tell me what this was about?" Brittany tried to start of gentle.
She began to sob "I´m just sick and tired of people telling me what to do. I mean I understand that he is my boss, but that doesn´t give him permission to interfere with my personal life. We have more severe issues, like Puck, but all he cares about is my personal life."
The blonde gently stroked her back and tried to calm her down "babe, you know he also is your father." Brittany was well aware that she was moving into a dangerous territory by showing Santana both sides of the coin. However, she thought as a girlfriend –which she was now- it was her duty to stay objective even though it wasn´t easy.
"I know that he is my father" Santana snapped at her "still, he has no right of telling me how to handle my private life. He may utter concerns but that´s enough. Britt "she jumped from the blonde´s arms "all that was missing is telling me how to let you fuck me, since he obviously decides everything." She saw Brittany smiling and crocked her head "what´s so funny" she asked.
Brittany couldn´t stop smiling "don´t you think it would be weird if your father told us that?"
"That´s exactly what I am trying to say, this would go even further than he already did!" Santana exclaimed and finally found her sense of humor again. Now she noticed what Brittany did. The blonde wanted to get her mind of dinner and the argument from before. Santana was thankful.
She leaned down to place a kiss onto Brittany´s forehead and whispered "I only want you to tell me what do to in bed" then she climbed onto the blonde´s lap "how about you do just that?"
A nod was all she got for an answer because right after Brittany began grinding their cores together and kiss the girl on top her frantically.
Both of them knew that Puck was the biggest problem so far. They got along just fine for now, troubles they would face in the future they would conquer together. Brittany knew with Santana by her side the world couldn´t be bad. Her past was behind her, the pain was behind her. The future was bright.
Just like Brittany, Santana knew that together they could rule the world. Brittany made every day, no matter how rainy it is, would make it a good day.
Please leave a review, I know it´s been forever! But I´m already working on the next chapter and it´ll be up within the next fourteen days!
