This chapter is the longest one I have written so far, I hope you enjoy it. There is more Brittana interaction in this chapter.
Chapter 3
Brittany, Quinn and Rachel were walking down the sidewalk towards the karaoke bar Rachel had heard about; it was a fairly large building with a neon sign out front which read 'Puck's Karaoke Bar', it looked perfect Brittany thought. As they walked inside, Brittany felt it had a very feel LA about it, it fitted in perfectly with the character of the area. There were booths that lined the outside walls, in the middle of the room near the stage at the front there was a small dance floor and a few smaller tables just back from it, with comfy looking leather chairs. Just over on the left was a big bar which stretched the entire length of the room, with the back wall covered in bottles of alcohol and a mirror. There were little lights on the underside of the bar which changed colour from red all the way through the rainbow ending in a deep purple.
"This place is awesome! I'm going to the bar, you two get a booth what do you want to drink?"
"I'll have a Strawberry Daiquiri please Britt, What do you want Rachel?"
"I'll have a Cosmopolitan, if you'd be so kind, thank you Brittany."
Brittany walked over and took a seat by the bar, checking over her shoulder to see which booth Quinn and Rachel sat down at, so she wouldn't get lost later trying to find them. She hadn't been sat long when a cute bartender walked up to her and asked her what she wanted, she ordered the drinks and whilst she waited for them took the time to really take in her surroundings and the rest of the people in the bar. Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a familiar smile and flash of brown hair, but it was gone as quickly as it had arrived. She paid for her drinks and walked over to the booth that her friends were at and sat down. Brittany sat sipping her drink whilst listening to Quinn and Rachel discuss which songs they were going to sing. Quinn was going for Take my breath away by Berlin or We are Young by Fun, whereas Rachel wanted to do Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri or Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked.
"I know which song I'm going to do" Brittany said as she gazed around the bar not paying attention to the person on the stage murdering Like a Virgin by Madonna. "Oh I can't believe it."Brittany stared for a moment then ducked her head and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
"What is it Britt?" Quinn looked concerned at what had just happened.
"Y you know that girl I told you about, t t the one I met in the gym ... s she's here." Brittany stuttered.
"Oh where, where is she?" Quinn clapped her hands excitedly and looked round the bar hoping she'd jump out at her, but no such look.
"What are we talking about here girls, I'm baffled?" Rachel inquired.
Quinn answered before Brittany could even open her mouth. "Brittany was at work and she met this girl, Britt said she is super attractive and has been moping around the apartment for over a week as she has not seen her since. Now Britt where is she?"
"She's the one at the bar in the tight green body con dress and pink jacket with the black knee high socks and boots. Don't both turn at once otherwise it'll look obvious that were talking about her, Quinn you look first."
Quinn turned towards the bar slowly looking for a girl matching Brittany's description, she found her at the left hand end of the bar ordering some drinks, just as Quinn was about to turn back towards the table Santana turned and Quinn got a good look at her, she quickly faced Brittany with wide eyes.
"What? What is it Quinn?" Brittany asked seeing her friend's reaction.
"Brittany... She's, well she's just as you described her, gorgeous. You need to snap her up quickly take her off the market, like immediately!"
"Oh my Quinn, you're absolutely right, she is so stunning." Brittany turned to face Rachel, she hadn't even noticed that Rachel had looked over towards where Santana stood.
"Rachel stop staring if she looks over here she'll think we're weird and never come near me again." Brittany slapped Rachel arm gently to get her attention back from Santana.
"You have to go talk to her; oh I know go to the bar and order us some new drinks and then just pretend like you just saw her." Rachel smiled at her ingenious plan.
Brittany downed her drink and walked over near to the end of the bar that Santana was at she was just about to sit on a stool when she heard someone call her name to her left, she looked over and Santana was smiling and waving her over.
"Hey Santana, what are you doing here?" Brittany hugged Santana and sat in the seat next to her.
"I'm here with some friends to sing and have a few drinks. This is Kurt and Mercedes." Brittany waved and smiled at the two people stood next to Santana. She thought that Kurt looked like a porcelain doll, a very gay porcelain doll and Mercedes looked like she would be a good laugh to be around.
"Hey it's nice to meet you both."
"So Brittany it's nice to finally put a face to a name, this one here hasn't stopped talking about you." Kurt pointed towards Santana who blushed and averted her eyes, whilst Mercedes just giggled and patted Kurt's shoulder.
"Come on Kurt your embarrassing the poor girl."
"Would you guys like a drink?" Brittany asked ignoring Kurt's last comment much to Santana's relief, she didn't want to scare Brittany away.
"Aww that's nice of you Brittany but Santana just bought us a round, we were just about to try and find a table."
"Well my two friends are sat in a booth over there if you want go and join them or you can wait for me to get our drinks and I'll introduce you guys. "
"That's a great idea Brittany, we'll just wait here whilst you get your drinks sorted and we'll all go over together." Mercedes smiled thinking that Brittany was such a sweet person and is perfect for Santana.
Brittany ordered her drinks and as soon as they were done she told everyone to follow her and she lead them over to the booth where Quinn and Rachel were pretending not to have started at the interaction at the bar the whole time. Brittany made sure that Santana got a seat next to her and gave Rachel and Quinn their drinks and introduced Rachel and Quinn to everyone. They were all chatting about their favourite typed of music and songs when they heard Santana's name called across the tannoy system.
'Would Santana Lopez make her way to the stage, Santana Lopez to the stage.'
Brittany turned to face Santana "What song are you going to sing?"
"You'll just have to wait and see won't you. With that Santana winked, stood up and walked to the stage.
Santana sat down on the stool and lowered the microphone to the right level and let the music guy know she was ready.
Mercedes leaned in towards Brittany and said "Oooo girl you in for a treat!" Quinn chuckled, but Brittany just sat in her seat eagerly anticipating Santana's song.
The music stared and Brittany instantly knew the song she loved to sing and dance to it in the shower.
She's just a girl and she's on fire.
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway.
She's living in a world and it's on fire.
Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away.
Brittany could not believe her ears, Santana's voice was smooth and silky but had a raspy edge, it sounded like sex. She could hit notes perfectly and Brittany wondered to herself why this girl was not doing this professionally, singing at the MTV Music awards along with the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyonce.
This girl is on fire, this girl is on fire.
She's walking on fire, this girl is on fire.
Everybody stands as she goes by, cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes.
Watch her as she's lighting up the night, nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world and she gon' let it burn baby, burn baby.
Brittany sat staring at Santana in awe lost in her voice; she barely even noticed that Santana was staring right at her as she sang, until she winked at her at the end of the song. That bought her out of her trance and she cheered for Santana along with everyone else in the bar adding in a few whistles for good measure.
Brittany crashed into Santana as she returned to the table wrapping her up in a big hug "Oh my god San, your voice is incredible. You need to be doing that for a living!"
"Haha thanks Brittany. It's what i hope to be doing with my life so thanks, means a lot that you think that." Santana smiled at Brittany then noticed everyone staring at them over her shoulder. "So erm yeah, who's next?"
"Oh me I totally want to have a go."Brittany ran over to the bar to put her name down and picked her song. When she returned she had a glass of water and offered Santana some knowing she would be thirsty from that performance.
"So Santana, why haven't I seen you at the gym?"
"Oh I have been there, I've been just going to random times due to my busy schedule. I've been hoping to bump into you, but you've never been around."
Brittany was just about to answer when her name was called as she was next to sing. "Enjoy." As she skipped off. Santana watched her ass in that short dress the whole time until she stood at the mic.
"Hi everyone, this is my favourite song at the moment, hope you all enjoy it." Brittany addressed the crowd.
"Oh yeh! I know what she's singing; you guys are in for a treat."Quinn pointed to everyone round the table and laughed before turning round to Brittany and giving her the thumbs up just as the music began.
I'm gonna pop some tags
only got twenty dollars in my pocket,
I – I – I'm hunting looking, for a come up
this is fucking awesome.
Nah, Walk up to the club like, "What up, I got a big cock!"
I'm so pumped about some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe, it's so damn frosty
That people like, "Damn! That's a cold ass honkey."
Rollin' in, hella deep, headin' to the mezzanine,
Dressed in all pink, 'cept my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girls standin' next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets
Santana couldn't believe what she was hearing, she never thought that Brittany would be able to rap and sound convincing whilst she was doing it. She even had these cute little hip hop moves she was popping whilst singing.
Brittany came back to the table to wild applause. Mercedes was the first to congratulate her "Damn gurl, that shit was hot! Who knew you had so much swag!" Brittany just laughed and thanked her. The whole group fell back into easy conversation, with the occasional person going up to perform.
At the about 1am the group decided to call it a night, they all got up to leave, Brittany grabbed Santana and walked behind everyone else.
"Hey San, I w-was... erm... I was wondering if you wanted to get a coffee with me sometime." Brittany rubbed the back of her head and looked down at her shoes.
"Yeh Britt I'd love that, do you mean as friends or as a date type thing?"
"I mean I'd like it to be a date, but only if you do too. If not it can definitely be a friends thing."Brittany said hoping Santana wanted it to be a date. "I mean I know we don't really know each other but I figured that coffee would be a good way to erase that problem."
"Yeh Britt that sounds great, I'd like it to be a date too. How about I give you my number and you just text me when your free and we'll get together." Santana put her number into Brittany's phone and gave it back to the girl.
"I'm looking forward to our date." Brittany gave Santana a huge smile and hugged her.
Both parties said their goodbye's exchanged more numbers with promises of meeting up again and went their separate ways.
Once Brittany got home and into some comfier clothes and had climbed into bed, she text Santana.
To Santana-Hey S, Hope you got home safe, your voice is truly beautiful I hope I get to her it again. Night night B xx
A couple of minutes later her phone buzzed and lit up on her side table.
From Santana-Hey B, I did thanks all tucked up in bed. You have got some talent girl, I want to see what moves you have when you're actually dancing! Swag! Sweet dreams S xx
A few minutes later Brittany was asleep and dreaming of Santana.
