Santana had been sat on the sofa watching friends repeatedly for the whole of the Saturday morning; Quinn stayed snoring in bed until 12 o'clock. It was around one o'clock when there was an unexpected bang on the door. Santana moaned and leapt off the sofa rubbing her eyes. She pulled the door open expecting the post man or someone but stood there with her long blonde hair laying on her shoulders and her piercing blue eyes shining in the sun, was Brittany.
Santana took a good few minutes to take it in, since her and Brittany had that little tiff Santana hadn't been thinking about Brittany too much, in fact it was the other blonde who was on her mind… Quinn. But Brittany looked so exceptionally beautiful that morning/afternoon that Santana couldn't resist pulling the blonde into her arms and squeezing her tight.
Santana dragged Brittany in the house and sat her down on the sofa. "Brittany! This is such a surprise! I kinda thought we were in an argument." Santana gushed. Brittany shook her head still gripping onto Santana's tanned hand. "Honey that was nothing I think we were both having a bad day, I know I was, lord Tubbington has put more weight on AND started smoking AGAIN!" Santana just nodded and smiled.
This was certainly a surprise and she wasn't sure quite yet if it was a good one or a bad one… She was kinda hoping to spend the day with Quinn. She was having so much fun with Quinn at the moment and she was sure Brittany would want somealonetime with her. She sighed as Brittany babbled on about Lord Tubbington and all these unicorn sightings she supposedly had had.
Later on after all the catching up the two girls did, Quinn got back from running errands at the super market. She looked shocked as she walked in to see Santana sat with Brittany chatting intimately. Quinn smiled brightly her green eyes sparkling. "Hey you guys! So you have made up? Awh so cute well as much as I'd like to stay and chit chat I gotta get my sweats on and head to the gym, but first I gotta put these bags down they are killing my back ha-ha!" Brittany nodded and smiled politely. Santana stood up and said, "You don't have to go Quinn! Stay and chat, we are the unholy trinity remember?" Quinn hesitated then shrugged her shoulders and said casually, "Sure why not, I'd love to chat!" She walked over slowly and sat in between the two. Brittany threw Santana a sharp look but Santana chose to ignore it. Why shouldn't Quinn hang with them? Quinn was Santana's friend and had done a lot for her lately, she wasn't about to push her away the minute her girlfriend arrived.
Brittany told the two girls that she had got into a dance school and would be graduating. Santana felt envious of Brittany, who would be running off to dance school and probably making a great career out of her passion. Brittany even sprang up and began to dance in front of them, showing off her fabulous dance moves. After her solo performance she grabbed Santana and span her around, Santana laughed and then collapsed on the sofa realising she had been very lazy lately and needed to get back to the gym. Quinn sat awkwardly on the sofa watching Brittany dance and spin San around. Santana gazed at Brittany as she danced, remembering how much she loved her beautiful dancer and shifting all the anger she had inside her to the back of her mind. She remembered how good Brittany had been to her, how much she loved this beautiful blonde princess and all her feelings towards Quinn went away. But then she looked at Quinn, she watched as she shifted around on the sofa, she watched as she licked her lips and tucked her blond locks behind her ears. She noticed the way that Quinn glanced at Brittany with her big green eyes and then turned her focus onto the floor, staring at it intently. She felt anger rush through her, Brittany had no right to be mad, Quinn is their friend... she can hang out with them as much as she wanted.
Later on after going shopping, running, to the cinema and out for lunch Santana and Quinn were extremely tired, Brittany on the other hand was still up and full of energy. In fact she was still jogging on the spot when Santana and Quinn were lying on the floor panting after having Brittany forcing them to RUN home! Santana panted and then managed to say while mopping her brow, "Brittany, I've had enough! I don't know about you Quinn but I am just too tired to even think! I don't know how you have all this energy! Now we are gonna sit down and watch the TV like normal people!" Brittany looked disgusted, "How do you manage to keep so fit Santana if you get tired after running for only like two and a half hours?" Santana couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Excuse me? Two and a half hours is a lot! Usually normal people go for a quick jog or to the gym for like an hour! But obviously you're not normal." Santana snapped. Brittany looked hurt. "What are you saying here? If I am so totally crazy why am I your girlfriend? Sorry if I don't like sitting around all day like a slob!" Brittany said at the top of her voice. The room fell silent and Santana, Brittany and Quinn stood still. Quinn shifted from one foot to the other feeling uncomfortable and Brittany just glared at Santana. Santana didn't quite know what to think do or say.
Brittany didn't speak a word; she just exited the room slowly stopping to grab her purse on the way out. The door slammed shut and Brittany's car engine started, Santana spun around to face Quinn, Quinn nodded at Santana and Santana sighed managing to pull on a little smile. Neither of them spoke for several minutes until Quinn announced that she was going to her room. Santana stood still a tear dripping down her cheek and falling to the floor. Santana turned on the TV and then lay down on the sofa. It had been a really crap day and she just wanted it to end and quick.
Santana couldn't sleep, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get Brittany out of her head. She had made Brittany mad and Brittany never really gets mad, maybe it wasn't only Santana having second thoughts on their relationship. But Santana found it hard to believe that Brittany wasn't 100% enthusiastic about their relationship as after all hadn't Brittany come all the way from Lima to New Haven just to visit her? And Brittany had been in such a good mood, swinging Santana about, holding her hand and kissing her... Santana had felt so in love with Brittany that morning, it was almost like old times! But then she saw Quinn the beautiful green eyed blonde that she had been living with for weeks and her feelings suddenly changed. She didn't know quite what to think… was she in love with Quinn… it felt like more than a silly crush… but you're only in love if the other person loves you back right? But sometimes, just sometimes, Santana had a feeling Quinn felt the same way… she sure as hell acted like it some times… but Quinn was straight wasn't she? Santana didn't know… she loved Brittany sooooo much, she was like a perfect human being, beautiful, funny, cute, talented, loving and extremely kind and caring!
All Santana's memories came flooding back to her… one in particular:
Santana was stood alone in the rain waiting for her mom to pick her up… she was feeling miserable and was cold and wet all she wanted was for somebody to come and hold her close and warm her up. Out of no where a figure crept up behind her and threw their arms around her waist and pulled her close. Santana turned around and saw the figure was Brittany! Santana grinned (something she barely ever did then) and shouted at the top of her voice: "BRITTANY" Brittany took off her jacket and placed it around Santana's shoulders as if she could read Santana's mind. Brittany then pulled Santana into a hug and whispered softly into her ear, "I love you for all that you are, all that you've been and all that you're yet to be…" Santana swore it was the smartest thing that girl had said, it was definitely the sweetest!
Santana remembered that occasion fondly and just thinking of it made her smile, see this was why Brittany was her girlfriend. They loved each other very much and that was just how it was. Nothing or nobody was going to come between them… or so she thought.
Santana was confused, sad and angry and all she wanted to do was sleep so she closed her eyes sighed deeply and began to drift off to sleep.
