Santana's POV
Brittany and I had decided to play with Quinn and Rachel for a little longer so the next morning we avoided each other and both rather heatedly explained we would not be driving together.
Seeing no need to drive all three cars back I left the mustang in the garage and went with Quinn who pestered me the whole three hours about what had happened the night before.
Brittany took her truck Rachel riding shot gun and we set off.
By 9 we needed to stop to eat having only each grabbed a granola bar before setting off. We spotted a little family owned diner and pulled off the freeway.
When we all stepped out of the cars Quinn rushed over to Rachel grabbing her arm and pulling her further ahead. I sent Brittany a quick look smirking.
The hostess took us over to a booth and Quinn and Rachel looked uncomfortable.
Speaking up I said, "This is fine thanks"
I grabbed Brittany's hand and dragged her in next to me laughing into her shoulder at Quinn and Rachel's expression.
Brittany soon couldn't contain her laughter either and we ended up a giggling mess with two rather pissed off looking people across from us.
"So you don't hate each other?"
"Quinn we spent another two hours at that bar after you left"
She looked at me realizing the truth of the statement and shook her head, "I hate you; you made me feel so bad"
"Well if you hadn't wanted to meddle it wouldn't have happened, and your whispering sucks"
Quinn smirked at me and Rachel huffed glaring at Brittany who pouted slightly causing Rachel to role her eyes and smile.
Breakfast was a fairly quiet affair and once done we did some flip-flopping so I was sitting shot gun next to Brit.
The rest of the drive was fabulous with the radio blasting singing along to our hearts content.
When she dropped me off at my apartment I was sad to see her go. She pulled to a stop and raced around to open my door before walking me to the front of my building.
"I had an amazing week"
"Me too" I responded
She leaned in placing a kiss on the cut on my forehead and I waved as she pulled away.
Brittany's POV
After dropping her off I drove for another half hour to pick up my trailer. Once it was hitched again I drove home. As I was pulling up Quinn was driving away. As I walked through the door Rachel came skipping to greet me.
"She's perfect"
I laughed at her sing song tone, "Is she now"
"Yes she is she's taking me out next weekend"
I nod before heading to my room to shower and go to bed it had been a long weekend.
As I climbed into bed my phone screen lit up.
Hey I'll see you Tuesday for your race sleep tight
I smiled at San's adorableness before texting back.
You are adorable and I can't wait to see you
She texted back almost immediately
I'm badass not adorable
Well I think you are adorable
=)
With that I set my alarm and snuggled into my bed.
When my alarm went off the next morning I groaned in protest of the hour but when I opened my eyes and they fell on the charm bracelet a smile pulled at my lips and I found myself looking forward to the day even if it was only because at the end of it I would be waking up to see Santana again.
Stumbling into the kitchen I was met with Rachel and Sam eating scrambled eggs.
"Well hello there blondie how we doing"
"Sam shut up you're just as blond as I am"
He laughed heartily and went back to his breakfast.
"Sorry I wasn't there last weekend though it sounds like it didn't matter cause you didn't stay"
"Yeah it was fine but you better not leave me the rest of the season I need my favorite mechanic"
Sam snorted, "We all know that's not true"
"What it so is you are my favorite Puck is better but you are my favorite"
Sam rolled his eyes
"Oh come on Sammy Puck is my sponsor mechanic and I know you're friends with him"
He grumbled something and went back to his breakfast. I grabbed my own breakfast then headed back to my room to get into practice gear. Before tossing my phone on to my truck bed I notice a text opening it I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face.
Britt-Britt hope you got up and got practicing wanna see you win tomorrow- San
I didn't respond deciding I would call her after I was done with my practice for the day.
It was a good practice hard but good and Sam did some fine-tuning on my bike making it purr to perfection. When I came through the back door Rachel was talking to someone. Walking round the corner I see Sam's sister Katie.
"Katie, how are you?" I sorta squeal from excitement.
"Hey B I'm good I thought I'd see you race tomorrow"
I jump up and down in excitement. We eat homemade pizza for dinner and Katie catches us up on what she's been doing. When we were younger she, Sam and I were inseparable people always thought we were all related. I can't help but feel sad though she disappeared for years and this was the first time I'd seen her. She looked older and there was a distinct sadness about her that I couldn't place. She went to grab the remote when I noticed the jagged scar that ran the length of her arm.
"What is that?"
"Oh I was in an accident a couple years ago nothing big"
She says nothing big but I swear she looks like she's about to cry. The scar reminds me though that I was gonna call Santana and I excuse my self to go do so.
When I come back they have a movie in but I'm not really interested so I head to my room pretending I'm going to sleep.
I apparently was tired because I wake up after my alarm blaring for 10 minutes. Pulling myself together we all manage to get out the door on time pulling up to my parking space with plenty of time to spare. Rachel goes off to sign me in while I sit with Sam going over my bike. Sam fiddles with my gearshift making sure it works properly when Puck walks up.
"Sup Sam, Britt"
I nod to him before searching behind him and my heart skips a beat when I see her. She's busy though so I go to talk to Katie.
"So what are you really here for?" I can't help but ask my curiosity getting the better of me.
"I heard some one had gotten into the racing business and I just need to see them again"
"Sounds like you fucked something up"
She grimaces but nods.
"Yeah I did and I don't know if I can fix things it's been a while" She glances off towards the track and when she does I feel arms slip around my waist.
"Hey Britt-Britt"
I don't even have time to respond before Katie's eyes snap to us.
"Sanny" it's almost breathed out and sounds so intimate and personal jealousy immediately bubbles.
I feel San's grip tighten around my abs but she steps to the side.
"Katie" It's cold the way she says it and as if I was hit by a freight train every thing clicks into place.
I wrap my arm around Santana's shoulders and she leans in Katie's eyes flash in anger before they tear up.
Rachel comes up and tells me I've got to go get ready for my race when I don't budge she drags me off. I feel like my heart is breaking.
Santana's POV
I feel sick right now facing her after all these years.
"Sanny please"
"Don't call me that you have no right" I bit back and she flinches but I can't bring myself to care
"I've always called you that"
"When we knew each other yes but we don't know each other" my tone was harsh and I knew she wasn't used to it. I talked to every one that way every one but her well and now Brittany.
She took a step towards me and I stepped back keeping the distance.
"I never meant to hurt you"
I snort at that, "Really leaving the ring and a note as the only proof that we ever knew each other? That was not hurting me?"
"I know that wasn't the way to handle it but I want to make it up to you and I want to be apart of your life out and proud, I want what we had back" I see her rub at the spot her ring used to sit.
I shake my head violently willing the tears not to fall.
"Please let me fix this"
"There is nothing to fix" and suddenly the truth of the words hit me I don't want to fix it sure I can move forward and maybe be friends with her but there is a wonderful woman waiting for me to cheer her on.
"I'm sorry Katie but I can't be with you never again I think I finally found that person you told me I would find when you left and she's out there about to race and I can't miss it"
I turn to go find Rachel once I spot her I make my way over not looking back. Brittany is standing with her having a quick chat before heading to the gate. She glances at me when I walk over and her eyes are questioning. Rachel is in the middle of telling her something but I ignore it pull her by her racing jersey and push my lips firmly against hers I pull way resting my cheek against hers so my mouth is next to her ear, "You look so fucking sexy in that and you're going out with me tonight no protesting" I kiss her hard once more for good measure and smack her ass before she heads to the gates totally stunned Rachel glares at me.
"What?"
"Now she's never gonna focus" I chuckle and I see her strait face start to break before she joins in my laughter.
She stops, "I'm not going to pry but I'm guessing you know Katie"
"I was engaged to her" I can see the shock on her face.
"I didn't know she was gay"
"Yeah that was the problem but when she left she told me I would find someone who loved me like I deserved and Britt is that person I have no doubt about that"
She smiles at me and we turn to look at the track as the gates come down.
Brittany's POV
I won my two races but that wasn't what I would remember about the day ever it just wasn't important compared to Santana.
When I finished for the day Katie was sitting in my trailer. I don't know what to say so I don't say anything I just stand there next to my bike looking at her.
"I… I never meant…"
"You hurt her" I cut her off before she can finish.
"I know"
"She's amazing and wonderful and perfect and you took that and completely destroyed it and then broke it even further by leaving"
"She blames me for the accident?"
"No she doesn't but does that really make you feel any better?"
"No it doesn't"
"Why?"
"I couldn't tell my parents you know them"
I nod, "I do and I think that if you had really loved her you would have told them about her"
"I did love her more than anything" she practically sobs
"No clearly you didn't how could you hide some one so amazing I wouldn't be able to contain my joy if she ever decided she wanted to spend her life with me"
She looks at me like she finally has some clarity.
"You're in love with her"
It's not a question but it has me pause before answering, "I don't know what I am yet but I know I look forward to talking to her, seeing her, being near her, everything to do with her makes my heart race and I can't wait to get to know her"
Katie looks like she got punched, but I can't really feel bad I was hoping she had maybe a slightly different account of the events but its clear she doesn't.
"I don't want you to disappear again from my life, I missed you but I need you to respect her and me and what we might have"
"I let her go and told her some one would love her the way she deserved to be loved and I can't think of any one more worthy of that then you and I can't think of anyone more worthy then San to love you"
