Part 1, Chapter 2: Santana

"Just.. do what you think is right, ok? Whatever you gotta do, just get it done."

Did I really just confront Quinn about her Rachel Berry fixation? Since when was I the damn matchmaker? Whatever, this stupid case was really just getting on my nerves. My client was obviously innocent, and anyone with half a damn brain would see that.

"So, Mr. Michaels, is this your affidavit?"

"Yes."

"Read the first complete sentence on line 3."

"It was way too dark out for me to tell who could have done it exactly."

"And so, we're all here, spending our time deciding whether a man is innocent or guilty because of incredibly convincing statements like this?"

"Well, it definitely looked like him!"

"Yet according to your affidavit, there was no way you could've known who did it."

Mr. Michaels gulped.

"Yes."

"The defense rests."

After delivering closing statements, the jury deliberated for hours. I thought I was going to explode from boredom, and I wanted to get this shit over with. Brittany and I had a date, and I wasn't going to be missing that for the world. Luckily, the jury came out, and went ahead and gave their verdict. As proven by my amazing reputation, the verdict was of course in my favor. As the 12 of them went down the line, each reciting "Not Guilty", I knew I'd have another huge victory to add.

'Cha ching...' I thought.

"Heyyyy, BrittBritt."

"Hey, babe." Brittany smiled, her hands hidden behind her back.

I wanted to know what Brittany was hiding.

"So...how about a little victory kiss?"

I was hoping to catch her off-guard, and take whatever was in her hands. I was never one for surprises, even with Brittany. Unfortunately, she knew exactly what I was planning to do, and took a step back while staying on point.

"You won?"

"Did you expect anything else from me?"

"I guess it was stupid to think my girl could lose.."

"You're never stupid." I always hated when Brittany would talk down on herself. Even though no one ever called Brittany rude names anymore, I wanted to make sure that not even Brittany could get away with it. It just reminded me way too much of high school, and despite this dumb reunion I was still doing everything in my power to forget those four emotional years.

"Well, you might think I'm a bit stupid once you see your surpriseeeeee..." Brittany lingered on the word, intriguing me.

"There's nothing you can do to make me think that, Britt. But... what's this big surprise?"

"You don't get to know yet! Not til after dinner."

"Seriously? You're such a kid sometimes, Brittany!" I teased.

"So..." I said.

"So?"

"What's this big surprise?"

"I KNEW you wouldn't be able to resist. We haven't even had dessert yet, San!" Brittany was so eager to make me want whatever it was she was hiding. And I really did want it, more than anything. I thought I was going to die if I didn't find out soon.

"Come on Britt, you knooooow you want to tell me." I tickled her, hoping she'd give up the big secret.

"You...can't...cheat, San!...But...fine!" Brittany would always give in, her ticklishness always winning out.

"I know it's gonna seem weird, San. But we're like, 27 now. That's more than a quarter of our life done, and I...I just don't want to spend any more of my life not by your side. So, Santana Lopez, will you marry me?"

Brittany pulled out a huge ass diamond ring, and I'm pretty sure my jaw fell to the floor.

"Brittany... I don't know what to say..."

"Say yes."

"Of course yes!"

And then we kissed.

A/N: Threw in the future Brittana, next chapter will focus on Kurt. (And we'll hear a bit about Sebastian too in that chapter!)

Hope you guys enjoyed :)
