It's been about two weeks since the whole club incident and I haven't seen or heard from Brittany since. But that all ended this morning when I woke up and checked my phone and saw an unread message from her.

From: Brittany

- Can we talk?

This message feels like I'm in trouble.

To: Brittany

- What about?

I reply stupidly because I know what she wants to talk about. She wants to talk about that night. About how she almost kissed me and how I almost let her. How I ran away and never called and how she probably feels ashamed or embarrassed because of it.

From: Brittany

- You already know

She sends back and I sigh. Before I have the chance to do anything my phone starts to ring. I look at it and it's Brittany. Guess there's no more avoiding this. Time to deal. I hit the answer button and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello" I say and there's silence. "Hello?" I say again.

"Hello" I faintly hear on the other end.

"You uh… wanted to talk?" I hear her sigh and I frown a bit.

"I'm sorry" She tells me.

"For?"

"You already know" She repeats what she said in her text. "I was drinking and... I don't know I'm just sorry"

"Don't worry about it" I tell her hoping to erase whatever she's feeling. "It's not a bit deal"

"It is though. I'm never aggressive like that but I saw you there and I was drinking and for a split second I thought...never mind I'm just sorry"

"You thought what?" I ask suddenly curious.

"Nothing it's silly"

"Tell me what you thought" I say. When she doesn't say anything I add a "Please" and again she sighs.

"Do you believe in fate San?" I smile at the nickname.

"I can't say that I do"

"Well I do. I also believe there's a reason for everything" When Brittany tells me that I start to think about everything I'm going through right now with my brothers and I can't find a reason why it's happening.

"I don't believe in that either" I tell her. "I just think shit happens and you just have to deal with it" I can hear Brittany sigh over the phone and I frown. I've disappointed her. "Will you explain why you believe in those things?" I ask hoping to wipe away the disappointment I've caused.

"I told you it was silly so I rather not embarrass myself even more than I already have"

"Can you please just tell me why you believe in those things?"

"You'll just laugh"

"I won't" I reassure her.

"Fine" I smile into the phone. "You know that day we met?" I shake my head yes and then realized she can't see me.

"Yeah I remember"

"Well that day I was having a really bad day. Everything was going wrong and I was ready to just yell at the next person that did something to me and well that's when you ran into me. I wanted to scream at you but I don't know for some reason I didn't.

"It was the t-shirt wasn't it?" I say and I can hear her laugh.

"Might have been but honestly it was just you. The fact that you just washed away my anger was my sign that everything was going to be okay. Then you ran into me again and then I ran into you and I knew there was a little more to this story"

"You did? Just by running into each other?"

"Yeah, I mean how many times can two people run into each other on the same day? The fate Gods were trying to tell us something or at least me something. Then when we bumped into each other again the following week I felt like those same Gods where screaming at me so that's why I invited you to my get together"

"Sorry I didn't come to the actually thing"

"You still showed. I was able to talk to you for 3 minutes before you ran away"

"I didn't run away!" I can literally hear the smile spread across her face over the phone. "I didn't" I say again.

"I know I was only teasing. I know it was Quinn. I told her it was too soon to be friends again and that we both needed space but she didn't want to lose me as a friend so now she's a grump with anyone new I talk to especially when it comes to girls"

"Did you two have some big fight or something?" I ask curiously.

"Or something, anyways after that night I thought you would text me but you never did. I'm not the one to seem so clingy but something was telling me to keep trying with you so that's why I also invited you to my first night on the job"

"Again I'm sorry I left so suddenly"

"It's fine. I was disappointed at first when you said you weren't going to come but then I saw that you actually came. You made my night" I blush and I'm really glad she can't see it. "But yeah you left and Sam said you were going to call but you never did and okay I won't lie that sort of upset me"

"Really? I didn't notice with you ignoring me at the store the day we saw each other again" I sarcastically say to Brittany.

"I'm sorry I just...being turned down isn't a real confidence booster and Sam is no help. When we left the store he told me to just make a move which is why I was the way I was at the club. I thought you were interested so I...well...I made a move"

"Interested? In you?" I ask a little confused.

"I thought you liked me" Brittany clarifies.

"What? Like you? But Sam... Wait you like me?" I'm so confused right now.

"Look you don't have to get all mean and defensive about this. I made a mistake and I'm sorry"

"I'm not getting defensive. I'm just trying to process all this"

"I like you Santana and I thought the feeling was mutual" Brittany begins to say. "I can see the way you look at me I'm not blind" I blush again. I'm not as slick as I thought I was. Dammit. "I was trying to give you hints that I felt the same but I guess they went over your head"

"But Sam..." I begin to say.

"What about him?" She asks.

"He's your boyfriend"

"Boyfriend?" I hear her say. "Sam's not my boyfriend"

"What? He's not? Since when?"

"Since always. Sam's my best friend. I mean we dated in kindergarten but he dumped me because I stole his GI Joe but that's about it. I would never date him gross he's like a brother to me now"

"But I thought…" I stop in the middle of my sentence because I realized I never really asked her about Sam. I just assumed he was her boyfriend.

"Oh my god, have you thought Sam was my boyfriend this whole time?" Brittany asks me.

"I…yeah" I say with a sigh.

"Just to clarify again I'm not with him. I'm not with anyone. I'm single. Like really single and I'm a lesbian. I'm a single white lesbian" I laugh. "Is this why you backed away when I tried to kiss you?"

"You were drinking. I'm not a fan of straight girls drinking and kissing lesbians. Blaming the alcohol isn't cool and plus your boyfriend was right there. I'm not about to come between a couple" I tell Brittany trying to justify my actions.

"That's sweet but again he's not my boyfriend and I'm a lesbian. I'm not interested in men or Sam"

"Well I know that now"

"So... if you knew I was single and into girls would you have let me kiss you?" There's shyness in her voice which makes me smile.

"Maybe" I answer and wait for her to reply. "Uh…Brittany?" I say when I don't hear her respond. "Brittany?" I still don't get an answer. I pull the phone away from my ear and see that the screen is black. "Shit" I hurry to plug my phone in but it doesn't want to turn on. "You gotta be kidding me right now" I take apart the phone and remove the battery. I put it back together and then try turning the phone on again but it's still not working. "Shit, shit, shit, SHIT!" What do I do now? I just pace around my house until I finally grab my car keys and head out the door. Guess I'm going to her house.


I drive like it's nobody's business until I reach Brittany's house. I pull up to the same spot I parked in like last time but just before I turn my car off I see a white truck in Brittany's driveway and it's not long before I see both Brittany and Quinn coming out of the house. The two look like they are arguing what else is new. What is Quinn's deal? Then out of nowhere I see Quinn grab Brittany and push her against the truck and kiss her. WHAT?! She kissed her! I'm so confused and hurt. This pain in my chest gets stronger as I turn my car around and drive away. I'm such an idiot. A girl says she's interested and here I am like a pathetic loser running after her. I head to one of the nearby phone stores around the area to buy or hopefully just fix my phone. I get out of the car and slam the door. I'm an idiot. How did I not see this. It all makes sense now. Why Quinn hates me. Why those two always fight. Why Brittany said it was too soon for them to be friends. Idiot, idiot, idiot.

"Santana" I hear my name and turn around to see Brittany. "Has anyone ever told you, you drive like a maniac?" She smiles and as much as I want to smile back I don't. "Buying a new phone?" She asks.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I saw you or well more like heard you race away from my house so I jumped in my car and followed you"

"You followed me?"

"Yeah. It wasn't the easiest thing to do but I could hear the screeching of the tires so I followed the sound" She says with a shrug.

"Why are you following me" My words come out a little harsher than I wanted it too.

"You saw didn't you and that's why you raced away?"

"I don't know what you're talking about" I fold my arms over my chest.

"Yes you do and I would love to explain everything if you agree on having dinner with me tonight" I tilt my head to the side. "Please" she begs and I let my arms fall to my sides and sigh.

"Fine" I answer.

"Great! Now go fix your phone so I can call you later" I give Brittany a small smile before turning back towards the store. "Wait!" I hear Brittany say so I turn back around. "I forgot something" Brittany comes up to me and connects her lips to mine. Her soft perfect lips are moving across mine and just as I go to deepen the kiss she pulls back. "I'll see you tonight" She pecks my lips and walks away from me. I wait till she gets into her car and drives away to finally breathe. I hurry in the store and of course the problem is with my screen so I just decided to buy a new phone. On the bright side the guy was able to transfer everything from my old phone to my new one. Once I'm done there I call Rachel to tell her everything that happened.

"Hello dear"

"Rach she kissed me!" I say into the phone.

"Who kissed you?"

"Brittany. She kissed me just now. We were talking on the phone and then I ended up at her house but saw Quinn and drove away but she followed me and then kissed me"

"You're weird" I sigh. Why does Rachel have to be so annoying?

"I have a date tonight" I say hoping something a little more positive will come out of her mouth.

"Good maybe you can finally get some action and stop being so cranky" Nope I was wrong.

"I'm not sleeping with her on the first night and besides how do you even know it's going to go that far? After tonight I could decided I don't really like her"

"You're a lesbian. After the first date you all practically move in together" I roll my eyes. I hear my phone beep so I pull it away from my ear. I see my grandma's name appear across the screen.

"I gotta go my grandma is calling"

"Okay. Text me later" I hurry and swipe over the call.

"Hello"

"Oh good you answered. I tried calling earlier but your phone wasn't on. I need you to come watch the boys for me please. My cousin is sick and I need to go to the hospital" Internally I growl. "I won't be gone long"

"Okay. I'm actually down the street. I'll be right there"

"Okay" I hang up the phone and drag myself to my car. This isn't what I want to be doing right now but I have to do it. Just as I turn the car on I feel my phone buzz. I grab it and it's a message from Brittany.

From: Brittany

Hope you fixed your phone. Come to my house at 830. I'm driving :)

.

To: Brittany

I did and okay I'll see you then

Damn should I have put a smiley face after my message to? I'm horrible at this. I quickly start the car and head to my grandma's house. The minute I pull up my grandma is already rushing out the door. I quickly park and get out of the car.

"Thank you Santana. If it wasn't important I wouldn't have called"

"It's okay"

"Christopher is in his high chair eating and David is playing with his cars in the living room" I nod my head. "I don't know where your dad is at. He hasn't been here for two days" I nod my head again. "Okay I'll be back as soon as I can" I watch my grandma get into her car and drive away. As I enter the house is seems quite, a little too quite.

"David?" I hear a giggle but I don't know where it's coming from. "David" I say again but I still can't figure out where he's at. "Where are you?"

"Sanny I stuck. I under the couch" I look under the couch and sure enough David is under there.

"How did you even fit?"

"I just crawled under" I help David get out from under there and spend the rest of the time watching Spongebob. Around 730 I start to get a little panicky. My grandma hasn't called and I need to meet Brittany in an hour. At 8 the phone finally rings and it's my grandma.

"Santana I'm so sorry. I'm going to leave in another hour I know you need to get home"

"That's okay don't rush" I tell my grandma I don't need her racing and crashing on her way home.

"I'll be there soon. Love you" I hang up the phone and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. What's worse is I have to tell Brittany I can't make it. I go and grab my phone and send Brittany a text.

To: Brittany

Something came up and I can't make it tonight. I'm so sorry

It isn't long before my phone starts to ring.

"Hello?" I answer.

"What do you mean something came up?" Brittany questions and I can tell in her voice she's trying not to get mad at me.

"My grandma, she called"

"So you waited 30 minutes before we're going to meet to tell me you can't make it?"

"I thought she would be back before then. I'm so sorry" Brittany sighs on the phone and I frown. "Can we please reschedule?"

"Yeah sure" I hear Brittany sigh again.

"I really am sorry Brittany. I really wanted to go out with you tonight"

"I really wanted to go out with you too Santana"

"I better go I need to put the boys down for the night. I'll text you later"

"Okay. Goodnight"

"Night" I hang up the phone and go put the boys to bed. It's around 10 when I hear my grandma pull up. I meet her at the door and she looks so sad.

"He didn't make it" I give my grandma a hug. "Thank you for watching the boys"

"It's not a problem"

"Go home. I know you're probably tired"

"Are you sure you're okay?" My grandma nods her head and I give her one more hug before I leave. I'm almost to the freeway when I decided to turn around. I find myself driving to Brittany's house and when I pull up I see the lights still on. I park my car in the same spot as always and pull my phone out to send her a text.

To: Brittany

Are you still awake?

.

From: Brittany

Yeah. Why?

.

To: Brittany

I'm outside.

I wait a few minutes and then I see her front door open and Brittany appears. I get out of my car and walk over to her.

"Are you ever going to park closer?" She asks me and I shrug my shoulders. "So what's up?" I nervously lick my lips and then connect them to her perfect ones. I bring my hand up to Brittany's cheek to deepen the kiss and that's when I hear her let out a soft moan. Her hands end up on my hips and I can feel her start to back up and that's when I end the kiss. "You should come inside" She tells me with a shy smile.

"Why?" Did that just come out of my mouth? Did I just say why? I know why she wants me to come inside but that's not what I came here for.

"You know why" She says with a small laugh. Her hands are still on my hips and I can feel her fingers moving back and forth on them. "Come inside" Brittany wraps her finger in one of the loops of my jeans and pulls me inside with her. Shit!
