CHAPTER 6
It's been a couple of days since the pool party and everything is going wonderfully…. Damn, I feel like a british granny saying that word, like drinking tea and shit. I wonder if I could talk like that... maybe Britt likes accents. I bet I can pull of a better one than that shitty bastard, Rory.
Any way…. moving on, Britts and I are doing fine. On Monday morning we chatted for a while before Puck picked me up and headed to school, and the awesome thing was that nothing really happened. Maybe I was waiting for something bad to happen, because of all of the makeover thing, Britt and Rory in such a short amount of time… I don't know, but everything was cool, like nobody cared about our lives.
Don't get me wrong, I know it's kind of obvious that they don't care, but when you are in high school and the pretty, awesome, super hot, blonde cheerleader who is also the co-captain of the cheerios starts hanging out and being all flirty with the biggest nerd ever… you expect some kind of reaction, but definitely not this one.
Whatever.
Right now, the afternoon air is really refreshing, with me sitting on the bleachers while the cheerios are practicing their new routine... yeah, the life of the American lazy.
The classes ended a while ago and meanwhile I was walking outside the school heading to my house, I saw how the cheerleaders and jocks were training in the field. I instantly thought about Brittany and couldn't resist the urge to go and watch her dance. I know she's awesome because I've seen her sometimes but I would really like to see her in her element. And the good thing? I couldn't say she disappoints, because what I'm seeing right now is pure talent, she moves so easily through the music, with such much expertise and without missing any beat.
"YOU GUYS SUCK! TAKE FIVE AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND SOME TALENT AROUND HERE!" – I look curiously to the woman who i recognize as Sue Sylvester. The woman is insane and always calls me Juanita or Maria, wtf?
I refocus on the cheerios who are now stretching and start looking around for blond hair when I feel something cold on my cheek. "What the.."- I say and turn around to find Puck, sitting next to me and smirking at my reaction.
"Hey perv why don't you go under the bleachers if you wanna have a better view of the girls panties?"- He says wiggling his eyebrows and I hit him hard on his arm making him yelp. A few cheerios look up to us and when Brittany catches my eyes I blush and look down feeling embarrassed
"Damn girl, how subtle of you"- I glare at him and get the water from his hand.
"You know, if that's the way you have to get close to the girls, well that's not my problem, perv"- I say to him and laugh at his mocking hurt expression
"Says the girl who has a poster of a semi naked girl behind her door…"- he says and I almost hit him again but I heard some giggles near us and stopped in my tracks. We both look down at the same time and see how Britt and Quinn are shaking their heads at us. I almost get up and go there to hug Britt when I see her smile at me, but before I could do anything i heard Sue yelling at them, gathering them around so they can start the routine again "And don't SUCK this time!"
I sigh when I settle back on my seat and I start watching in a comforting silence how they practice for another hour. Puck had left about half an hour ago and I told him that I would wait so I could talk to Brittany before heading to my house. He obviously didn't miss the chance to tease me and gave me his awesome pick up line that made girls fall to his arms…. Yeah right.
I get up and walk to Brittany's direction when they are finally over. She's stretching again and has her leg on Quinn's shoulder. Her skirt is dangerously falling and I can see her long tanned legs, making mine go weak and feeling my cheeks getting hotter by the second.
I think Quinn know something is up, because as soon as she saw me she pushed the leg on his shoulder a little harder, making Britt grunt and leaving my moth hanging open because of the noise. Quinn obviously noticed this and smirked at me, looking at my eyes and winking before leaving in the same direction the other cheerios took.
"Hey, you"- Britt says when she turns around- "I knew I saw my favorite nerd over there".
I laugh and get closer to her. Without even caring if anyone is looking I envelop her in a tight hug and sigh contently when I feel her fingers tickling lightly on my neck and her forehead pressing against mine. "Hi there" – I say smiling and kiss her cheek.
She snuffles closer to me and I feel as she takes a deep breath, making me shudder but smile at the effect she has on me. "I ove r ell" – I hear her mumble against my neck.
"What?"- I say giggling
She steps back a little and her cheeks are with pink traces when she says – "I love your smell"
I blush again and hold her tighter against me – "I love your smell, too".
"Gross, I'm all sweaty Santana… you're so kinky, I knew I saw you looking down my skirt before"
I blush harder and shake rapidly my head from one side to the other "I've… I d-didn't" – I say quickly and look everywhere but her eyes – "I.. swear I…"
"Cute" – she says after laughing at me for about a minute – "wanna go see something, cutie?" – she asks and winks at me.
I nod because that's the only thing I can do right now. She grabs my hand and gives me a little kiss on the back before moving to where the others left.
"I'll take a quick shower and I'll be right back!" – She yells and I nod again before smiling and sitting in the grass.
That girl will be the death for me, I'm 99% sure about it.
00000
"Ta dá!"- Britt says happily when we finally get to the top of the hill, it's not that big at all, but I don't do sports so I kind of suck for this. I stop walking and catch my breath for a while, that was a huge ass thing and I'll never come back here, not even if they are having a huge convention of…
"Holy shit" – I say loudly when I finally look around. This place is amazing and I never knew it was here. There's this amazingly beautiful pond with ducks, birds and only one little bench near the end. "This is crazy"
"I know, right?" – Brittany takes a step closer to me and holds my hand in hers. "I wanted to share this with you"- she says and brings her lips to mine for a tiny tiny kiss.
She giggles when she notices the goofy smile on my face and starts moving through the grass, getting closer to the bench and sitting there so we could relax and get intoxicated with each other. I put my left arm around her shoulders and bring her closer to me, seeing how she gets comfortable against me, breathing against my neck and leaving a few kisses here and there.
"I love being with you, Brittany"
"Ditto" – She says and I can feel her smile on my neck, making me smile as well. I never thought I could be this close to someone before, I feel happy and like nothing else can make me depressed again. No more teasing or bullying, and everything is worth it because of this, this only moment and I don't wanna let go. Ever.
Seems like Britt was all prepared because soon enough we are throwing little pieces of bread to the ducks so they can eat. When I asked her why she had that she answered me with a peck on my lips and saying that she's always prepared. I just smiled at that and didn't say another word about it.
We kept talking and feeding the ducks for a while before we both dozed off to our own thoughts while holding each other.
Brittany makes me really happy and I wish I could do the same for her, I can't handle seeing her sad and I would give anything to see her smile all day, or like right now, feeling how she softly breathes against my neck, leaving butterflies touches on my skin and making me smile contently just with that. Life is good right now, but I can't let go of the feeling of familiarity in this situation…
"This feels oddly familiar" – I say after a while of silence and just watching the ducks.
"What?" – Britt says and I feel how she tenses a little bit.
"This. Us, being here. I know I've never been here, but the ducks… and.. I don't know, I have the feeling like I'm missing something here"- I look down to Britt's eyes and see something there, like nerves or insecurity.
"You kay', Britt?"
"uh, yeah…"- Her fingers are playing nervously with the hem of her shirt and I feel her heart racing really fast against my arm. "You mean like aDéjà vu?"
"Yeah, maybe. Are you sure you are okay Britt?"
FLASHBACK
It's around five in the afternoon and there's a bunch of kids playing in the park with their friends or by themselves. The summer air is warm and all you can hear is the little yelps of joy of the little kids. The pond in the middle of the park has a lot ducks passing by and a few people are throwing pieces of bread for them to eat.
Almost by the end of the pond there's a little secluded area where two little girls are sitting in a bench. The taller one has her long blonde hair between her fingers and plays nervously with them at the same time as she gets closer to the other girl with black hair, who is sitting with a comic book between her legs and reading out loud for the other girl.
"He's getting close! I'd better take cover on the balcony, said spider-woman"- Santana says excitedly.
"OMG! Omg, is she gonna be okay?"- She yelps and grabs Santana's arm, who just smiles sweetly to the other girl and turns the page to keep reading.
"Okay, Buster… I'm tired of being target practice for you. Now it's your turn - Look Britty!" Santana says, moving the comic a few inches so Brittany can see better – "She uses emeral energy stabs from her palm like lighthing, blastin the trenchcoated gunman before he can even move!"
Brittany starts giggling and snuggles to Santana's side, making herself more comfortable by resting her head in the other girl shoulder. They stay like that until they finish reading together, talking about it for a while before staying in the same position watching the ducks and thinking about whatever was on their minds.
"Do you think duckies get hungry when they see people having picnics?" – Asked Brittany.
Santana had met the girl about a month ago and she got used to the fact that she liked to do weird comments from time to time. Actually, they weren't weird, it's just that you don't go around asking that things because you think it's kind of obvious, but when you see at that little girl face, all scrunched up and curiosity written all over her face… you don't even try to think it's ridiculous. Because with Brittany, nothing is… everything is something you can learn from and for little Santana, that was something that she really, really, liked.
"I don't know… Do you think they are hungry?" – Asked Santana.
"I would" – was her simple answer, and that was all Santana needed to hear. She quickly grabbed her wonder woman school bag and opened it, looking in its interior until she found what she was looking for.
Brittany was looking at her with curiosity and started moving so she could peek at Santana's bag. "Hey! It's a surprise!" – screamed the other girl, making Brittany pout at her and put the sad puppy look on.
Santana stared at her without moving and smiled at her. "Here" – She said extending her hand to her and giving her a bag with three PB&J sandwiches. "I thought we would get hungry so…"
Brittany took the bag in her hands and beamed at Santana, snuggling back to her previous position.
She looked back at Santana with a puzzled expression while saying – "but there are three here, Sanny… I'm not that hungry.."
Santana beamed at this and took one of the sandwiches in her hands, picking up a few pieces and throwing them to the pond where the ducks were. She saw as Brittany's eyes widened at this sight and lunged forward until her body was fully pressed against her own, making Santana laugh and shriek happily. It wasn't until they both straighten themselves that Brittany thanked Santana by pressing her lips on her cheek, making her breath hitch and blush at the sudden reaction of the blond.
"Thanks, Sanny" – She whispered while retrieving their old position.
"You are welcome" – She said back, getting more comfortable and smiling back at Brittany.
And with that last statement they stayed in silence for another hour, just feeding the ducks and taking a few bites of their own food, until their moms came to pick them up and was time to part ways, but not before promising to see each other again soon.
"Yeah, I'm fine… Sanny" – Brittany said back, moving closer to Santana to press a light kiss on her cheek.
Sanny… why did I felt my chest tighten when she said that? Santana wondered. I had a friend when I was little that used to called me that, but she moved away and I felt really bad about it. I think she was kind of my first crush and the reason I begin to question myself when I grew older… but what does this have to do with Brittany?
And this Déjà vu thing? Maybe I shouldn't be thinking too much, but I know there's something unclear here and I really wanna know what it is.
I feel Brittany sigh against my neck while she settles closer to me at the bench, and all I can think about?
This feels familiar... again. I feel like when Patrick and Sponge Bob were selling chocolate bars and spongebob said "Barnacle Chips they are most certainly not Delicious" and then Patrick replied "not the way i use them!"
Like, wtf was that? It seemed like I missed something! Just like... I don't know, this feels odd and I really wanna know what it is. Is there a reason why she called me like that?
Brittany kisses my jawline to get my attention, so I look down and smile at her again. "Are you ready for our date on Friday?" – she asks me and I quickly forget all the things I was thinking about.
Holy shit! I'll need some help to go through that.
"ye-..yeah" – I stutter and smile shyly at her.
"Good" – she says with a playful smirk on her lips – "because like I told you the other day… I'm gonna rock your world"
"Should I be scared?" – I ask trying to sound confident, but failing and hearing my own voice trembling when she tugs at the hem of my shirt a pulls me closer to bring our lips together.
"Of course" – she replies – "Very much, yeah"
And that was all it took for me to nod rapidly and wish for some kind of mercy… or maybe not that much. Right?
