I'm sure that if life were like in Disney movies, then this moment would be the beginning of a beautiful and funny story. The morning came and with it, the chill but soon to be soft warmth of a day that promises a lot of mystery's and excitement for everybody.
Everything seems perfect; the birds sang, the leaves swayed gently outside the window and the morning lights started to drift inside my room, lighting and reveling every single object and color that lives inside of it, like a small city awakening from its shadows and with it, the occupants as well.
"Hmmmggh" – I grunt and move inside my bed, making the sheets fall to the sides of my bed as I dig my face on my pillow, trying to make the light go away and let sleep take over me again but soon I recover and smile into the fabric when I remember what day it is today, and what will happen later.
"I'm up!" – I say happily and get out of my bed, moving quickly to the deck where my IPod is settled and press play to my favorite morning song. As soon as 'Rock Star' by Nickelback starts playing I move to my window and open it, pleased when the fresh air passes gently by my face and I finally stretch my arms and legs letting go of a content breathe.
"I WANT A BRAND NEW HOUSE ON AN EPISODE OF CRIBS AND A BATHROOM I CAN PLAY BASEBALL IN!" – I start yelling singing along and dancing until I get tired and pass out on top of my bed, chuckling and shaking my head at myself when suddenly my phone sounds and lets me know of a new text.
(10.11) Sanny: Good morning beautiful! I can't wait to see you today
I smile broadly at the text and start typing right away before walking to my closet and gathering the clothes I'll be wearing today.
(10.12) TO, Sanny: Hey sweetie : ) Me too, what time are you coming?
"I need to look hot but… cute" – I mumble in front of the mirror with about 3 dresses on my hands.
(10.25) Sanny: 'Bout 13.00, me and Puck need to go to the cavern first
(10.25) TO, Sanny: Awww you are my favorite dork, why don't you call it comic store?
(10.26) Sanny: I told you, it keeps the mystery alive! :D
(10.27) TO, Sanny: Lol, such a nerd. I'm going to the shower now ;)
I chuckle one more time and smile while remembering the cute person that my girlfriend is. I collect all the clothes that I've already gathered and move to the bathroom to start to get ready and help my mom with the preparations for today's barbeque. So as I get in the shower and start washing my hair I just hope that everything goes according to the plans…
(10.32) Sanny: Wanky.

"At what time did you said they are coming over, hun?" – My dad asks me for the tenth time while we go outside with some more drinks for the guests.
"uhmm… like in a few minutes daddy" – I say hurriedly and move quickly inside my house again before my dad starts asking me more things.
I'm like 2 pm and Santana and Puck aren't here yet. All the other people are, Mr. and Mrs. Lopez are already here talking with my mother, joined by the Puckerman's and Fabray's, but the only ones left to arrive, them.
"Where are you, San" – I mumble and send another text message to my girlfriend.
My dad isn't really happy about me being with another girl, so he's still getting used to the idea that the common speech I said since being a little girl about liking boys and girls is truth. When I first told him, I really thought that his head would explode because he was redder than a balloon, but lucky for him, my mom took him away and helped him breathe again. He said that it wasn't what he would like the most for his daughter, but because he loved me and wanted to see me happy, then he wouldn't say anything bad about mine and Santana's relationship… but that anyway if she made me suffer, then he wouldn't back up and make her suffer worse.
"Were are they? He better come or there will be trouble for him" – Says Quinn when she approaches me.- "C'mon, help me get this outside"
"I don't know where they are Quinn, I've already called her like 4 times and she still doesn't pick up!" – I say while we start moving some extra chairs to the patio.
"Well, she better hurry up, because I don't think she will make a really good impression with your dad like this…"
"C'mon, don't make me nervous now" – I pout at her when we finally end with the chairs and she just laughs it off but stops shortly.
"What the…" – She mumbles and I follow to see her line of sight and try to not laugh when I see Puck, dressed nicely but with something missing and Santana standing next to him looking amused.
"San!" – I say happily and run over to hug her and give her a chaste kiss on her lips. "What happened with you guys, and…Puck your-"
"Lost a bet, don't ask please" – Puck says while he touches what's left of his Mohawk. He's got the last half of his hair gone so he looks really weird.
"Hi, baby" – Santana says chuckling and steps closer – "I'll tell you later, how are you?"
I nod and feel some butterflies when she's standing so close to me. She still has that effect on me, I love it and wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
"I'-"
"So I guess you must be Santana, right?" – Suddenly my dad appears next to Santana and shakes her hand, making me frown at the formality. "Had too much work at the office that you couldn't make it on time?" – He says as a not-so-much of a joke.
"Sir, I-uhmm so sorry we… had..t-trouble" – Stutters Santana.
"Dad! Don't be mean" – I say and look at him. "She obviously has a reason"
My dad lets go of Santana's hand and takes a step back, which he uses so he can look up and down at Santana, making her feel really uncomfortable by the looks of her face.
"It was just a joke honey" – he says after watching how weird the moment became – "Hi Santana, I'm Frederick, Brittany's dad." – He says again and smiles at her before hugging her and walking her towards the others.
"Wow, she's fried" – I hear Quinn say behind me.
"Stop with that!" – I say quickly and shoot her a look.
She stands next to me and shrugs – "Just sayin'..."
Great, I think and sight heavily when I start moving to save Santana from my dad. I really wanted this to be perfect, or at least that my dad could be nicer to Santana, she was really nervous and I hope that my dad could treat her just like her parents treat me, kindly.
Santana's POV
Damn that hug was fucking tight. I'm screwed, I know it and I knew it before all of this happened. If it weren't for fucking Puck and his lame attempt of winning a free comic to the owner of the cavern, then I would have been here on time and Britt's dad wouldn't hate me… that much.
Don't get me wrong, watching Puck lose on his favorite game AND watch as he has to shave part of his own Mohawk was one of the best things on the world, but it doesn't pay the cost of having to live through this.
This, on simple words, suck.
"Quite the impression you made, kiddo" – my dad says when I sit next to him and press my head on his arms.
"Yeah, don't tell me" – I mumble.
"C'mon hun, go see if you can help him with something and try to start over" – I look up and my Aunt C is smiling and winks at me. "And no whining!" – she adds when I stand up again and turn around, not before praying for a miracle.
"Go get him, tiger!" – Is the last I can hear in a soft voice from my father when I start moving.
I see around the place how everything is settled, with chairs and a few tables filled with food, some music on the background and all the people chatting and having a good time. As I pass towards the barbeque where Britt's dad is, I say hi to all the other people and wink at Britt to reassure her that everything is Ok.
Ok Lopez, bring out the charm.
… if you have any.
"H-hi, Mr. Pierce. Do you need any help?" – I say and try not to roll my eyes at myself because of how dumb I sounded. I hear a sharp intake of air when he turns around and looks at me.
"Sure, why not" – He answers curtly – "Umm... hand me that knife please"
I pass it to him and for about 30 minutes that's all the interaction that we've been dealing with. He would ask me for something, I would pass it to him and that's it. Nothing else, just… passing things like a damn asshole. The worst thing is that Puck, is trying to help me with the situation, he came along a few minutes ago and fucking charmed his way up to Mr. Pierce, who loves him now and probably, wants him to be with Britt. Perfect.
"Kids this days, I can't believe you got yourself into that" – Mr. Pierce says laughing when Puck told him how he lost part of his hair.
I just stay in mute for part of the conversation and keep looking at nothing in particular.
"Do you fancy motorcycles, Puck?" – Mr. Pierce says after a few moments and that catches my attention because, we love them.
"Sure thing Mr! Me and San over here worked on my baby last summer and went on a little trip together" – He says and tries a little wink on my direction.
"Yeah, it was really fun to fix that old thing" – I say and laugh when Puck makes an offended expression.
"You know about mechanics, Santana?" – Mr. Pierce says with a new found interest.
"Yes, I love it. It's not a really girly thing but I started liking it when me and my dad started to work on his old car. " – I say shooting him a real smile this time.
"Well, that's impressive. Maybe you two could help me out the next time I bring another motorcycle to fix" – He says with a warmer expression to me and Puck, who is smiling like an idiot for the opportunity.
"Well, I better go to where Quinn is, thank you again Mr. Pierce" – He says and shakes his hand.
When he leaves I fear of another uncomfortable silence, but that doesn't happen because Mr. Pierce doesn't take more than a minute to start taking again, but this time with much more seriousness on his tone.
"You know what I'm going to say to you, right?" – He says and starts to flip some hamburgers.
"uhmm… that you're going to kill me if I harm Brittany in any way?" – I say and get more and more nervous by the second.
He chuckles a bit and leaves what he's doing to turn fully to look at me. "Look, I don't have anything against you. But it's true that if you do anything to her, I won't mind that you are a girl, got it?"
"Mr. Pierce – I say and stand straight – "I-I've been wanting to get close to Brittany for god knows how many years. I won't ever let anything hurt her, and if it's me who hurts her, then trust me it'll also be me who hands you a bat so you can beat me up."
He waits a few seconds and laughs loudly, making a few people turn around to look at him before patting me on my back. – "You are good, kiddo. Not gonna say that I'm glad about all of this, but I think I'm willing to give it a try and not kill you so fast" – he says winking.
"Good" – I say chuckling slightly.
"Now go ahead and do your girlfriend duties before little Britt over there starts to burn a hole on the back of my head" – He says pointing with his head towards Brittany, who is nervously looking every a few seconds in our direction.
I smile broadly at how cute she looks and start moving after thanking Mr. Pierce for everything.
Maybe it didn't happen the way we wanted it to be, maybe I wish I could made a better first impression… but I think that we can work out something from here with Mr. Pierce. I know from experience with my parents what he might be feeling, it's hard for them to realize that all you've always dreamed for your daughter won't be exactly how you wanted it to be, hell… my dad even tried to hook me up with some guys a few years ago, but it was because he just needed to get the idea on his head, and everything started to be just fine, like it always has been, perfect.
"Hi there, fine lady" – I say wiggling my eyebrows at Britt, making her giggle and take a step closer so she can hold me by my waist and kiss my lips.
"Hey" – She mumbles against my lips and I smile while taking in all of her beauty. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with this woman, she's just like a drug to me and I can't get enough from her.
She makes me feel alive.
"Hi" – I whisper back and kiss her again.
"Already said that, baby" – She murmurs and looks at me with such affection written all over her face, it makes me smile wider, if that's even possible.
I giggle and peck her lips one last time before pulling back and hold her hands with mine so we can walk over to where Puck and Quinn are sitting next to the pool, but before we can even get there Britt stops abruptly and looks at me with a serious face again.
"Wait! What did my father say to you? Because if he-" – I silence her with another kiss and see as a goofy smile starts wining over seriousness while I keep kissing her over and over again.
"It's all good, baby" – I say and smile at her, dragging her to where our friends are to enjoy the rest of the evening laughing, eating and joking around with our families.

"What are you thinking about, brown eyes?"
The barbeque ended about one hour ago and everyone left having spent a really good time. Mine and Britt's parents got along really well and luckily for me Mr. Pierce was nice and seemed to have forgotten part of his initial hate towards me.
Right now, me and Britt are getting the last few things from the barbeque cleaned up and we are both really tired, but I'm not ready to leave just yet.
"Sí, all good" – I say smiling and finishing up the last few things.
"Are we done?" – She says and moves around the kitchen to hug me and press a kiss on my cheek.
"Finally, yes" – I mumble and make a fake exhausted expression. "Now I can finally go and play videogames…alone" – I say and laugh when Britt slaps my arm playfully.
"Not funny!" – She pouts and I smile at how cute she is like that.
"I'm not even near ready to leave just yet" – I say
"Good" – She says with a nod – "Hey… I'm really sorry about how rude my dad was before" – She says looking down at our feet.
"Hey… hey, look at me" – I say bringing her chin up with my finger – "Not even wonder woman was able to get you away from me, remember? It's really Ok"
She giggles a bit and gives me a firm nod -"C'mon now, its cuddle time" – She says moving towards the door.
"We are good" – I say one last time, but this time more to myself.
Because it is true, everything is perfectly fine and nothing will ever bring us down, not even her dad, because so what if I have to work extra hard to be on his good side? From what I understood from that conversation I have a good chance to make things work, and for Brittany, I'll do anything that's on my power to make her happy, because that's all that matters to me… seeing that perfect and gorgeous smile and happy eyes every time I can.
She deserves it, that and everything else I can give her. Because I…
I love her – I barely whisper to myself and look up to see her standing there, looking at me with loving eyes and extending her hand so I can hold it and be close to her. I smile and realize that that's something I've been doing a lot recently since being with Brittany, she makes me smile like never before and also made me realize how beautiful life is. I can't even try to explain how she makes me feel, how she makes me think and how she makes me act, because everything is different when I'm around her; the colors are brighter, the sounds turn more beautiful and everything seems to have a reason behind that I never ever realized before. So with that thought on my head I walk towards her and hold her hand, bringing it to my lips so I can kiss it. – "Thank you" – I say looking at those beautiful blue eyes.
She giggles for a bit before looking at me like she's expecting me to explain what I just said so I kiss her hand again and smile back at her – "For everything. For making me happy, for understand my weird antics, for being with me. But specially… for being you Britt."
She steps closer to me smiling and kisses my nose – "No, thank you, Santana Lopez, for making me wake up every morning with a smile on my face and feel those giddy butterflies on my stomach every time I see you. Thank you for making my life better than any Disney movie" – She says and closes the gap between us to kiss my lips once more for like the hundredth time today.
