Brittany's POV
The week passed quickly with the four of us hanging out and doing nothing. We go out on the boat a lot letting it idle in the middle of the lake laying out relaxing. I'm jarred back to reality one afternoon though when Santana gets a phone call about a new client that wants to meet with her specifically and I'm reminded that we all have lives. I have another tournament starting next Tuesday and I should be getting back to my life. Rachel I know has scripts pilling up that directors want her opinion on.
I find myself pulled from my musings when Santana sits beside me on the bow. She rests against me and my heart hammers in my chest and I'm sure she can hear it.
"It's the worst part of coming up here"
I look at her quizzically.
"Having to go back to reality"
I nod, "But couldn't you just stay here and support your self?"
"Yeah but I mean I don't know I'd want someone to share it with you know, I mean yeah I could be here but it's not the same with out that person and maybe kids definitely a dog"
I smile at her picture, "Yeah that would be amazing"
She nods thoughtfully, "I could still be a lawyer but like own a firm in the city and actually have nothing to do with the legal part at all"
"What would that special person be doing?" I ask because I can't help it.
"Open a water sport school" is her response and I can't help the flip that my heart does because I was talking about the fact that I'm not sure I wanna keep up with the racing for much longer, maybe open a store or a school and as I side thought I mentioned wakeboarding.
I hear Rachel's distinct giggle from the back and I turn around just in time to see Quinn steal a kiss from her. I smile because I'm happy Rachel's happy but inside I'm frowning because I'm jealous.
Santana follows my line of sight, "They're great together" she whispers in my ear and the shudder that goes through me is involuntary. Before I can say anything she gone heading to the wheel and turning us back to the house.
Santana's POV
The week has been amazing but sometimes I forget that it's not really my reality. I noticed Quinn and Rachel getting together in the first couple of days and they're cute together. I sigh as I spin the wheel pointing us back to our dock. Brittany is still on the bow and the way the wind pulls her hair back and the sun hits her makes my heart beat a mile a minute. I think to the conversation I just had with her. I know it's wrong to be thinking about a future with a woman I barely know but there is something about her that pulls me to her and I can't get her off my mind. That picture I just painted for her had her and no one else in it and that scares the hell out of me.
I should just ask her out but I don't want her to say no. After all she's been nothing but a good friend, sometimes I feel like her eyes linger but I'm sure it's my imagination.
I'm pulled from my inner thoughts when Quinn comes up and rests her chin on my shoulder.
"She's pretty"
"Yeah I know"
"You should ask her out"
"I don't want her to say no"
"For someone who loves an adrenaline rush you sure are a wimp"
"I just… I like her so much is scares the hell out of me I mean I barely know the woman and I thought about what it would be like to live out here with her"
Quinn shifts away from me smiling I role my eyes at her knowing look busying my self with docking the boat.
Once the boat was docked I helped Quinn unload the ice chest. When that was done I reached a hand out to Brittany to help her off the boat with earned a smirk from Quinn and Rachel.
Once she was safely on the dock I loosened my grip but she didn't let go and I found myself walking hand in hand with her into the house. We walked into the den and due to the linked hands sat rather close to each other on the couch.
"We should watch a movie", Rachel said and agreement came from the rest of us.
After some debate A Lot Like Love was settled on. I rolled my eyes at the cheesy romantic comedy but the grin that stretched across Brittany's face was worth the horror I was about to sit through. I hadn't actually ever seen the movie and by the end of it I was just as pleased Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet had gotten together as the rest of them. Some how during the movie I found myself snuggled in next to Brittany and it was getting harder and harder to stay awake. When the next movie started I was so tiered that I didn't even notice the title and I was asleep before the intro credits had even finished.
I woke with a start after having a dream that left me with that falling feeling. Jolting awake someone tightened their arm around my waist and I panicked for a moment before remembering the night before. I turned my head slightly to look at the sleeping blond behind me. She was still slightly tucked into the corner but her legs had stretched out underneath me. My legs were on top of hers and my back was pressed into her front.
When I heard voices from the kitchen I became hyper aware of how intimate the situation was but unable to move I pretended to still be asleep while I listened in.
"I thought they would've woken up and gone to bed" I heard Rachel whisper.
"Well I wish Santana would stop being a pussy and just ask the girl out already"
"She likes her?"
"Duh have you seen the way she stares and looks at her"
"No I've been watching Brittany I haven't seen her fall this hard ever"
"Perhaps we should give them a little push"
That was the end of what I heard they moved out to the back deck. I was brought back to my situation when there was a tug around my ribs and Brittany buried her face further into my back.
"Morning" I whispered turning to look at her slightly parted eyes.
It took a moment before surprise crossed her face and a blush spread over her cheeks as she let go of my waist and we adjusted our selves on the couch.
"Good morning" she said sleep still heavy in her voice.
I nodded in response.
"Sorry about squeezing you to death last night, I like to cuddle"
"It was fine I didn't mind cuddling with you"
"Really?"
"Yeah I mean I usually only cuddle like after I've taken a girl out but…"
A blush crept up to her cheeks again.
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yes I am, Brittany would you like to go out with me?"
"I would love to"
Brittany's POV
She asked me out I'm so excited. I'm bouncing in my seat right now and I can see the smile on her face growing every second.
"Okay but first Quinn and Rachel are going to "help" us get together" she put air quotes around help and I couldn't stop the giggle at how adorable she looked when she rolled her eyes.
"So what are we going to do?"
She shrugged, "I don't know but I want to get them for trying to meddle"
I thought for a moment, "Well knowing Rachel they're probably going to make us go out and then she's gonna fake needing to come back and we should totally be like angry when we get back make things supper awkward"
The smirk that made it's way to her face told me she liked my plan and then as if called Rachel came in.
"Hey so how about we head into town, maybe see a movie walk around and then grab some drinks before calling it a night.
Santana and I both agreed and went to get showered and dressed. By the time we were all ready it was close to 2 and we headed into town. There wasn't actually a movie showing that we wanted to see and Santana smirked knowingly at me. We walked through little shops here and there at one point I went to use the restroom and when I came back Santana had a bag that she didn't have before. I tried to peak but she caught me and smirked at my pout.
By the time 7 rolled around we were all looking to sit after a long day. Going to a local bar, we took a table near the back, Rachel and Quinn on one side and Santana and myself on the other. We ordered a couple of beers and some nachos to share, but before the nachos even got there Rachel was looking sketchy.
"You know I'm not really feeling well I think it was just a little too much for me today"
"You want me to take you back Rach?" I asked.
"Brittany I got it" Quinn said taking her hand saying a quick good-bye and leaving.
Santana managed to hold her laughter through the whole thing but burst out as soon as the door had closed.
"You know your best friend I must say"
I nodded in agreement.
The nachos came and we sipped out beers and talked about everything and nothing. It was nice to have someone to share some time with. When the check came I went to reach for my purse but Santana stopped me, "I'm still going to take you on a real date but I can start tonight"
I blushed at the gesture. When we left she wrapped her arm around my shoulders and I leaned into her side.
As we approached the house she moved a couple paces ahead of me like we discussed and went through the door first. It slammed loudly and I heard mumbling that I assumed was Rachel and Quinn asking what happened. I walked through shortly after glaring at Santana who was seated in the den and saying nothing to Rachel or Quinn before heading to the room I had claimed at the beginning of the week. I changed and lay down in bed pulling a racing magazine out and flipping through when a tentative knock came.
"What?"
"Can I come in" came Rachel weak reply.
"Fine"
She stuck her head in then came in fully, shutting the door behind her.
"What happened", she asked coming to sit on the edge of my bed.
"I don't want to talk about it but it would have been fine if you hadn't left" I flipped the magazine closed curled on my side facing away from her to hid my smile.
She sighed and then left after patting me on the back. I felt bad after she left but I mean she should know better I can handle my self.
About an hour later a soft knock came on the door before I heard the handle turn. Santana slid onto the bed head propped on her elbow looking at me. I turned to face her and we both quietly giggled.
She looked unusually shy for a moment before moving her other hand out from behind her back. In it was a small black box extremely short and square.
"Here I saw you looking at it" She lifted the lid off the box reveling a silver charm bracelet with a single silver charm. The charm was a duck and it was adorable. She reached for my wrist and then clasped it around.
"I should go long drive and all"
With a kiss to the cheek she left and I fell asleep with a smile.
