A/N- I am not liking the spoilers for Season 3 of Glee...I hate Ryan Murphy so much! Anyways back to my story! So we left Chapter 9 with Brittana sort of expressing their feelings for each other... But life isn't always so rosy! :( X

Chapter 10

Most people say that love is blind; that no matter whom we are or where we're from, it just happens. Especially when you least expect it.

Brittany sat in the kitchen, fiddling around with her breakfast when her mother entered; groceries in hand.

"Hey darling, aren't you getting late for college?"

The blonde walked up to the woman, taking the shopping bags and placing them on to the table. "I wanted to talk to you mum".

Mrs Pierce sat down on one of the chairs, before eagerly awaiting her daughter's words.

"What's happened? Is everything okay?"

Brittany sighs a little, before taking a seat next to her mum. "I think I love someone...but I'm worried that you won't approve".

Mrs Pierce took one of her daughter's hands before speaking. "Sweetie, I thought we had this discussion...I would never do anything to jeopardise your happiness, you're all I have in this world, and I will always stick by whatever decision you make".

"Do you promise?"

"Yes, I promise...now come on, who exactly has managed to win your little heart over?" Mrs Pierce inquired, grinning at the same time.

For a second, Brittany contemplates whether she should tell her mother the truth. But fear gets the best of her so she settles for a quick, "All in good time, you'll just have to wait and see mummy".

Before the older blonde woman could protest, Brittany was already out the house and shouting an 'I love you' before finally departing the scene.

...X...

"Santana...this isn't right you know". The brunette was stood in the bathroom ferociously brushing her teeth as the words of her roommate began to tick her off a little.

"Your her teacher...she's probably only doing this to score some sort of legendary status".

Santana marched to where Finn was and point blank spoke into his face. "What me and Brittany have is real...I don't expect anyone to understand but when we're together all I know is that I'm happy"

Finn stood back a little; he could've sworn he felt a bit of Santana's spit connecting with his face. "You're both going to end up getting hurt San...what happens when her mum finds out or when Sue does, what then?"

Finn spoke gently and Santana could understand his worries. He cared about her; he didn't want to see either of them getting hurt. "Finn, believe me, I would do anything to flee from this situation, but..."

"You love her, right?"

"Exactly"

...X...

As Santana made her way to work, she couldn't help but let the words of Finn stray around in her thoughts. What if he was right? What would happen if Brittany's mum were to found out? Or when Sue caught wind of the matter?

"Good morning girls...hope you all had a nice weekend". Santana announced as she entered the classroom.

"Fiona, could I get a coffee?" She quickly asked her assistant, to which the petite woman duly obliged.

"Right so I'll be collecting..." Santana stopped halfway through when she realized Brittany wasn't sat in her desk. Automatically a million of thoughts flooded through the teacher's head as to where the blonde could possibly be. Please don't tell me she's getting drunk again.

Dazing herself out of Brittany related issues, Miss Lopez continued with the lesson. "So I'll be collecting everyone's Macbeth assignments by the end of this week and remember girls, it's your final submission, so make it good".

"Erm Miss...You said you'll give us a B, remember?" Mercedes protested to which her classmates agreed.

"Right...yeah well that won't be happening anymore, so best get your thinking caps on". Santana jested causing her students to moan.

As the class settled down, there was still no sign of Brittany. Miss Lopez glanced at her watch. 10 o clock, where could she be?

"Does anyone know where Brittany is today?" Santana asked, she was hoping that maybe Rachel or Quinn knew something.

"Probably getting wasted again"

Quinn angrily stared back at the girl. "Listen, no one here asked for your input so unless you want me to pop that belly of yours, I suggest you shut the hell up"

The classroom busted into giggles, and Miss Lopez soon found herself doing something she had not done in a long time. "Right, get out; I will not have you speaking to Beverly in that manner, it was totally uncalled for".

"Whatever, see if I care". Quinn hissed back, gesturing for Rachel to come with her.

...X...

Brittany strolled into college sometime in the afternoon and her first mission was to stop by Miss Lopez's class.

Santana was sat on her desk, taking small bites of her sandwich whilst marking bits and pieces on her desk.

"So you finally decide to show up?" The brunette queried as the blonde approached her desk.

"Looks like someone's being missing me" Brittany teased, flashing out that beautiful smile of hers.

"I'm actually in the middle of something Brittany, so if you don't mind..."

"Oh come on..." Brittany walked to the other side, placing herself on top of Santana's desk so she could be inches away from her teacher. "I missed you too".

Ignoring the way Brittany was trying to put her little seductive act on, Miss Lopez smirked and crossed her arms.

"What happened to you this morning?"

Brittany let a sly little smile creep up, before taking something out of her backpack. "I...wanted to get you something, here". The blonde motioned for Santana to put her right hand out, before firmly placing the bracelet onto the brunette's arm.

Her teacher could only look in awe. It must've cost quite a lot. "W-why did you buy me this?"

"I didn't buy it...I went over to my cousin's house and basically before our grandma died, she told the both of us that whoever was first to fall in love, then we should give it to that person since this was the very first gift that my granddad gave to her".

Santana wanted to cry right there and then but didn't. Not now, not when she was supposed to be teaching in half hour's time. She ran her finger through the words that were engraved on the bracelet.

I want to be the only hand you'll ever need to hold.

So many questions were flowing through her head and she was desperate for the answers. You love me? You're giving me your grandmother's first gift? You skipped class to do this for me? Wait, you love me?

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"I-I can't take this Brittany, it's..."

Brittany sat up from the desk, placing herself on top of Santana's lap. "Yes...you can take it, I love you and there is nothing I want more in this world then to share our lives together".

Before Miss Lopez could even muster up a reply, she felt Brittany's sweet lips on hers. She savoured this little moment, thinking that it would be the last kiss they ever shared.

After a few seconds, the blonde broke the kiss, shifting her body slightly so she could pick up the sandwich that was only half eaten. "Open up, wouldn't want you going hungry now".

Again Santana melted at the gesture. What was Brittany doing to her? Did she love her that much? So much passion was visible in them crystal blue eyes; Santana just couldn't find the words to break the blonde's heart.

But she had to do it. She just couldn't take it anymore.

"Brittany, just stop" The blonde tensed a little at the tone of Santana's voice, dropping the sandwich back down to the desk.

"We can't do this, it isn't right".

Brittany pulled herself up from Santana's lap, staring deep into her teacher eyes; searching for answers. "What are you talking about?"

She took one long second to breathe in before going on to say, "I'm your teacher...what we have might be special in our little world, but to everyone else, especially your mother, we'll just get degraded in the worst way possible and I don't want you getting hurt".

"No, you're wrong, my mum would never hurt me, she told me herself this morning". Brittany disagreed back.

"Your still young Brittany, you have the rest of your life to still look forward to, I'm not what you want, just trust me on that". Santana tried to reason.

"And what about what you want, huh?" The blonde snapped back, adding, "Or is this your way of saying you don't want me?"

Santana jumped from her seat, immediately spacing her hands on Brittany's shoulders. "This isn't about what I want...it's about you; please try to understand that I'm doing this for the both of us"

"No, I won't understand... do you expect me to just throw my feelings for you out the window?"

"Brittany..."

"So let me get this straight...you take me back to your house, you tell me last week how you can't sleep because of me...I spent countless amount of hours straying behind after lesson just so we could spend some time together and now you're telling me to just forget about it?"

"Brittany, I will always treasure what we had, but..."

The blonde took a moment to process those words. "What we had... you know what, forget it, I guess my heart lied about my love for you... ... ...either that or you're a coward".

And this time, there was just no stopping the tears that were flowing down Santana's face. "I do want us, of course I do, but believe me..."

"No one will understand" Brittany cut in before Santana could finish.

"Where are you going?" Santana asks when she see's Brittany about to leave the room.

"In case you've forgotten, I do have other classes to attend"

"Are you angry with me?"

"Honestly, I don't know what to think". And with that, Brittany left the room, slamming the door with as much force as possible.

Santana paced herself back to the desk, brushing the tears away from her eyes. Twisting her arm a little, she glanced at the bracelet Brittany had so lovingly given her. For years Santana built up defences, so nothing anyone ever did could hurt her...But it's only inevitable. That one day, someone will wander into your life and you just happen to give them a piece of you. And in Santana's case, sadly; that piece was slowly starting to dissolve away.

...X...

"Britt, quickly come here". Quinn spoke the second she entered the cafeteria.

Brittany lazily sat on one of the chairs. It was quite easy to see that she had been crying. But her friends were oblivious to it. "So next week, there's going to be a fancy dress party".

"Great, what's the occasion?" Brittany bleated back.

"It's the principal's birthday and every year, they hold a special event for the occasion here at the college" Rachel quipped, a little too excitedly.

"Right...and you guys are happy because?"

"Brittany...did you not hear us? It's a party, which means plenty of alcohol and dancing...it's like your two favourite things in the world".

"Great, should be fun".

The two girls looked with worry towards their friend. "Britt, what's wrong babe?" Quinn poached, and now she was starting to sense that Brittany had been crying.

"Sometimes...I just wish people would be so accepting of others in life"

"How do you mean?" Rachel addressed.

"You know, love...I've realized that the reason why so many people are left with a broken heart is because nobody ever accepted their feelings"

"But Britt, sometimes we just happen to have family or friends where no matter how much they love us, they just won't allow us to be with the one we want".

Brittany fretted a little, letting a small frown creep up. "I understand that Quinn, I really do but what if your parents said that you couldn't be with Rachel?"

Rachel glanced at her lover for a second, worried about what her response would be. "Then I'd do everything in my powers to make them understand that she's the reason why I wake up every morning with a smile, the reason behind every breath I take...the reason why after so many years, I can finally be proud to call someone mine".

Rachel felt the full force of passion behind Quinn's speech and allowed her tears to flow freely. "What did I do to ever deserve you?" The brunette leaned in for a soft kiss, before turning her attention back to Brittany.

"Seriously Q, that was fucking cheesy".

Quinn played it off, smiling at Rachel before saying, "Love has no boundaries Britt".

...X...

The next few days of college were understandably hard for Brittany and Santana. The blonde would refuse to meet her teacher's gaze or answer questions during class. To everyone else, they just thought that was Brittany being Brittany. That when she wasn't in the mood, she just didn't bother. But no one, not even Quinn or Rachel had even the slightest clue about their friend's and teacher's relationship.

Friday came rolling in and Santana was just glad for the weekend to be here. She couldn't stand the tension between herself and Brittany; especially when all she wanted to do was just tell her how much she loved her back and how she too wanted more than anything for them to be together.

At the beginning of her class, Santana went round the classroom collecting everyone's Macbeth assignments. When she reached Brittany, the student hadn't even acknowledged her teacher's presence. Nor was she facing towards her. Instead she just left her papers on the desk, letting Santana collect it herself. How much more can she take before the walls within her finally decide to break?

...X...

Santana was sat on her desk and was surprised to see Brittany walking towards her. The blonde moved a chair next to her teacher's so they could be sat next to each other.

"Relax...I'm not here to pick a fight". Brittany scoffed when she could see the nerves settling within her teacher.

"I just wanted to tell you that I've been thinking a lot about what you said and you're right".

Santana opened her mouth a little to reply back but Brittany gestured to let her finish. "Maybe people won't like what we have and maybe people won't be so accepting, but I will do everything I can to make them understand that love has no age, that what we have is real...that you are the reason behind me getting up every day".

Santana who didn't even realize that their hands were locked in together releases a little laugh before managing to finally speak, "For someone who has a fair bit of temper on her, you really know how to throw out all the cheesy stuff"

"Yeah that's because I see my world through your eyes, guess you could say I'm totally whipped". Brittany jokingly teased but nevertheless it made Santana smile.

"There's that grin I've been longing to see all week".

"Yeah well, I didn't have a reason to smile, I thought I was going to lose you for good". Santana stated, whispering out every little word.

Brittany raised Santana's hands a little, kissing each one on the back before going in for the real thing. The connection of two lips started off as slow and when Brittany let out a little moan, Santana felt a degree of satisfaction and started to deepen the kiss.

"I'm sorry I ever doubted us". She said as their tongues were now massaging against each other. Brittany halted for a second to meet Santana's eyes and replied, "I'll always be here, and I'm never going to leave your side". Santana pulls Brittany towards her and as her lips close around hers, she feels herself shaking. Fire of nerves and excitement burst within the brunette's heart and before you know it, she's finally able to say, "I love you".

A loud knock on the door from one of the cleaners startled Santana and the first thing she did was immediately look beside her. Brittany wasn't there. She wasn't sat next to her, Santana wasn't locking lips with the object of her affections. She wasn't finally stating I love you to her. The brunette starts shaking her head at the way she had felt...how it felt so real and absolutely amazing to say those three special words to the woman she deeply cared about.

But then she remembers, that it didn't actually happen. It was only just a dream.
