Santana swallowed hard. She was walking that fine line. She was sober enough to know better but drunk enough not to care. She weighed the pros and cons in her mind. The pros greatly outweighing the cons. She was torn.
"Santana?" Brittany asked, shaking the girl from her thoughts.
"Sorry," Santana blushed. "I was just thinking."
"Penny for your thoughts."
"I would love nothing more than to go back to your place. But at the same time, I wanna do this right."
"What do you mean?"
"Well we just met and I really like you. I want to make things perfect for you. I want to be a 'gentleman'."
Brittany chuckled at Santana's use of air quotes. "I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me."
Santana smiled sweetly at the blonde. "How about I walk you home?"
"I'd like that." Brittany looked down at the brunette's hand. She slowly reached over and intertwined their fingers. Santana looked down at their hands then up to Brittany. She smiled one of those goofy smiles. Brittany blushed slightly.
"You know, you're really cute when you blush." The brunette softly bumped shoulders with the blonde.
Brittany laughed. "I really didn't think my outfit out tonight." She shivered.
"Cold?"
"A little."
Santana unhooked her hand from the blonde's, moving it around her waist. She pulled the taller girl into her body. Brittany's arm instinctively went around the brunette's waist. "Better?"
"Much." Brittany smiled and rested her head on Santana's shoulder as they walked. Santana smiled to herself. She loved the feeling of the blonde next to her. Brittany slowed her pace and stopped in front of a building. "Here I am. Come up and have some coffee, warm up a little. And that's not a question."
"I'd love to." Santana laughed and allowed herself to be pulled into the building. After a short elevator ride and a short walk down the hall, they walked into the blonde's apartment. "Nice place."
"Its home." Brittany shrugged.
Santana slid her coat off her shoulders. She tossed it on the arm of the couch and walked around, looking at the pictures on the wall. Brittany walked in the kitchen and started some coffee before joining Santana. "Is this your sister?" Santana pointed at one picture on the wall.
"Yeah. That was taken at her graduation party."
"She looks just like you."
"I know. It's scary." Brittany laughed. "We get mistaken for each other all the time."
"How old is she?"
"Just turned 20 a couple months ago."
"So she's still just a kid." Santana laughed.
"Very much so." Brittany laughed. She heard the coffee maker beep. "Make yourself at home. How do you take your coffee?"
"Black is fine." Santana smiled.
"Ok. Be right back."
Santana watched Brittany walk into the kitchen before wandering over to the couch. She sat down, leaning into the back of the couch. "This is the most comfortable couch ever." Brittany walked out, laughing. She handed the brunette her cup and sat next to her. "Thank you."
"This was the first couch I looked at. As soon as I sat on it, I knew I had to have it. Love at first sit."
"That's how it was with my bed." Santana laughed.
"I need a new bed. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow."
Santana sipped her coffee. Her eyes traveled up the blonde's legs. She looked up and met blue eyes and a smirk. She blushed furiously at being caught. "I guess I need to work on my subtlety."
"Maybe a little." Brittany laughed. "But I think it's cute."
"You think everything is cute."
"Only when it comes to you."
Santana shook her head and took a drink. She sat the cup down on the table. "I should probably get going."
"Are you sure? You're more welcome to stay."
"I'm trying to be a gentleman, remember?" Santana smiled.
"I suppose that's a good thing."
Santana stood up and grabbed her coat. Brittany followed the brunette to the door. "Do you want to get together sometime during the week for dinner?"
"Yeah. I'm not sure what days I have to work yet. But I'll find out tomorrow."
"Ok. Just let me know what works." Santana shrugged her coat on and reached for the doorknob. Brittany grabbed the collar of Santana's coat, pulling her back. She pressed her lips against the brunette's. Santana was shocked but quickly gave in. Her hands moved to the blonde's face. Brittany traced her tongue along Santana's bottom lip. Santana immediately allowed the blonde entrance. Brittany backed the brunette against the door. Santana moved her hands the Brittany's waist, pulling her closer. Brittany pulled back after a few minutes. Both girls were breathless.
"Holy hell." Brittany smiled.
"Wow. That was…wow." Santana brushed the hair from the blonde's face.
"I know." Brittany couldn't stop smiling. She leaned in for another kiss, softer this time.
Santana pulled away this time. "I really should go before I throw that whole 'gentleman' thing out the window."
Brittany pushed herself off of the smaller girl and smiled. "I totally understand. I just couldn't help myself."
"I'm not complaining." Santana smiled. "Totally not complaining. I just need to make sure I still have some self control."
"Shh." Brittany put a finger up to hush the girl. "You don't have to explain. I understand. I love that it's so important to you to take things slow. It's nice to see that for once."
"So it's ok?"
"It's more than ok." Brittany smiled.
"Awesome." Santana smiled. She pushed off the door. She reached for the doorknob, twisting it open.
"Text me when you get home."
"I will." The brunette leaned toward Brittany and kissed her softly. "See you later."
"Bye." Brittany smiled as she watched Santana leave.
Santana hailed a cab when she got outside. She had a permanent smile. After a short ride back to her apartment, she slid her coat off and pulled her phone out of her pocket. She sent a quick text to Brittany. Made it home. Safe and sound. She changed into shorts and a tank top. She heard her phone beep. She smiled as she opened the message.
Good : ) I had an amazing time tonight.
Me too. I can't wait to see you again.
Play your cards right and it could be sooner than you think.
Ok beautiful : ) I'm heading to bed. Talk tomorrow?
Most definitely. Sweet dreams.
Night B
Santana put in a random movie and crawled into bed. Her lips still tingled from the breathtaking kiss she shared with the blonde. She smiled, remembering the kiss. She slowly drifted off to sleep, thinking about her soon to be girlfriend.
