CHAPTER 21

...We could definitely do this forever and I'll never get tired of it. I will never get tired of anything and everything about her. I will always love her the most. No doubt about that... they both thought to themselves, not knowing that the other is thinking just about the same thing. Ah, love...

They were panting when they pulled back, both catching their breaths. They were starin at each other's eyes, then both of them chuckled. Then the brunette held both of her pale cheeks with her hands and looked at her with full of love and adoration.

"I love you, baby," Santana sincerely said.

The blonde wanted to cry, but at this moment, her tears are not because of hurt but because of pure happiness. She could read the seriousness and sincerity in every work the brunette said in those brown eyes.

"I love you, too, Sanny," Brittany answered. She squealed when in a blink of an eye, the Latina pushed her down on to the sand. Okay, I didn't expect that coming.

"San," she playfully scolded when she saw that impish glint in those brown eyes. Yes, it was still swollen but it was already alive and sparkling, not dull and tired.

"What, Britt-Britt?" she said while tracing the outline of her lips.

"That smile of yours, San," the blonde said, not holding back her gasp due to the sensation that the woman is making her feel.

"What about my smile, honey? I don't see anything wrong with it."

"Santana!" the blonde playfully scolded.

"Marry me, Brittany."

She was surprised, speechless of what she heard. She wasn't expecting to hear that coming out of the woman's mouth.

"I know it's too soon, but what can I do, Britt? I don't know how to live without you in my life," she quickly explained. Probably, the brunette saw the confusion in her blue eyes. Fuck! I messed this up didn't I? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Uhm... think, Lopez. You need to fucking think!

"Santana..." Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. She's proposing. Is she proposing? Oh my god.

"I know we're still young, but I'm fucking sure as hell about how I feel for you, babe. I will not tie you down, I will not imprison you, nor will I ever stop you from doing what you want to do. Believe me, Britt-Britt. I will let you fulfill your dreams. I will even help you fulfill it and be with your journey along with it. Do whatever you want, baby. But I hope you'll have me with you as you accomplish your dreams. I love you so much, Britt. Please - "

The brunette was stopped from talking when she felt a slender pale finger in her plump lips but then was immediately replaced by warm pink lips. "Yes!" the blonde exclaimed after kissing the Latina.

"Yes? It's a 'yes'?" she surprisingly said. She was definitely shocked and stunned to say the least. Oh god... Brittany just said 'yes'. She said 'yes', right? Oh my god. Yes! she just said 'yes'! I can't believe it's happening right here, right now. Brittany just said 'yes'! I'm going crazy right now... I'm insanely happy. I'm ecstatic! I'm feeling high! Wooooh!

The blonde chuckled at her girlfriend-slash-fiancee. "Yes, San. I want to be the future wife of one Ms. Santana Marie Lopez. Let's be, Mrs. and Mrs. Santana Marie Lopez. Then soon, I will no longer be Ms. Brittany S. Pierce, but Mrs. Brittany S. Pierce-Lopez. And you, love, will soon-to-be Mrs. Santana Marie Lopez-Pierce... or Pierce-Lopez. Which one do you think sounds better? hmmm. Anyways, yes, baby. I will always say yes to you, Mrs. Lopez-Pierce," the blonde said with a nod. Then the blonde heartily laughed when the brunette just suddenly stood up from the sand and jumped around like a kid while pumping her fist in the air. She also stood up and watched the woman she loves. Oh god, I'm going to marry a kid... but naaah, let her be a kid or an adult. I don't really care, I love her.

Brittany then felt tears prickling her eyes and slowly making it's way down her cheeks. With the way the brunette is reacting right now, the woman only shows her how much she loves her. She's so lucky to have someone like the Latina. She wiped her tears when she saw the brunette walking back to her. As the woman stopped in front of her, the brunette knealt down on one knee and presented her a ring. She was in awe when she saw how gorgeous it was. It was so beautiful and she's sure that the worth of the ring is no joke. She held out her hand and then Santana slipped the ring into her finger.

"You won't regret it, baby. I promise to love you for eternity. I will always love you the most, Britt-Britt," Santana said. "I don't have an idea if I'll be the best wife you'll have or the best mother ..." her voice squeaked and her eyes sparkled, on the verge of tearing up again.

The blonde hugged her tight. She promised to fill her with all the love that the brunette's parents never gave her. She will love her even more than that and with all that she could.

"I never experienced being a daughter - I have never been a kid, Britt. I never had that. That's why... That's why I'm afraid - "

The blonde cut her off. "Ssshh, San. Listen to me, baby. You will be an awesome, loving mom when the time comes, and I know it. I can feel it, baby. You have so much love inside you, and that's the already enough and one of the best reasons you have for you to become one of the greatest mothers," Brittany said, hugging the brunette even tighter. "I love you, San. I love you so much... and you know what, baby? With that, I think anything's possible."

"I love you more, Britt-Britt. Thank you. Thank you so much for teaching me how to love."

Then the blonde pinched the woman's nose when she remembered something. "Wooah. Wait! What's this kidnap act you just did? and where did you even get this idea from, huh? Oh my god! Where's Justin? He's totally worried sick about right now. And my brother..."

Santana chuckled. "Actually, I was also kidnapped, Miss Brittany S. Pierce."

The blonde furrowed her brows. "It was all Puck's idea. They kidnapped you at your own house. I was actuaally on my way to the airport when a van just suddenly stopped right in front of my car, blocking my way. Then, two bonnet-wearing people got out of the van and walked towards my car. Well, of course, i fought and defended myself. I just knew right then that it was Finn and Sugar. Those fuckin' assholes. I pity Finn though, he got a black-eye from me... so not my fault, honey," she told her while chuckling.

"Be nice, baby. Anyways... so, you didn't have the plan to stop me from leaving?" she asked, whining.

"Nope," she smugly said, one of the corner of her lips is slightly curving to a smile, as if the brunette is holding it back.

She waved tan hands off when the brunette attempted to move blonde strands of hair falling down her face. Pink lips were now pouting, blue puppy dog eyes are sprkling. The brunette only giggled with the way the blonde was reacting. Oh my... my Britt-Britt is just so adorable. and that pout and those eyes... it would be the death of me.

"Awwwe, baby, stop pouting. Actually, I didn't plan to stop you because I was planning to go to France ahead of you. I was planning to talk to your brother first, explain everything that happened to him and I will make sure that all of my intentions to you are clean and definitely good. Then, you'll be shocked that when you get there, I'm already there waiting for you. I was really actually planning to propose to you in front of your brother," she explained.

"R-really?" she felt her heart swell with pride. The Latina was ready to face her brother in exchange for her forgiveness and love. When did I get so lucky? Oh yeah, I remember. That's when the moment I met this woman. Yep... definitely.

"Yup! And we will still go to France because I will ask for your brother's approval. I will ask for your hand from him," the brunette added.

"Well, aren't you afraid to face my brother? After you made me cry, I know you're pretty much not in his good side, baby," she jokingly threatened Santana.

The Latina just shrugged. "Naaah, baby. As long as I have you by my side, I could fce anyone in this world, honey. You are like the source of my superpowers!" she said while chuckling.

"Ah! You really are gorgeous, Santana Marie Lopez!" she exclaimed while chuckling and attacked the brunette with kisses. Ah, I love this woman so much. I'm so lucky to have her.

"And you, my love, are breathtaking," the brunette said. I will always love this blonde with all my heart.

Ah, I couldn't ask for more. She's all I could ever ask for... Yeah, that bet was a bet, but it was destiny's way of bringing us together. It may be in the most complex way that anyone could ever think of, but what the heck, fate has laid a hand... and now, we're finally together. Both of them thought, just laying on the sand and snuggling with each other while looking up at the star-filled sky, dreaming about their future... together.
