A kiss... this is a kiss right? It's an accident but it is. "I'm sorry Santana..." While Santana was still trying to process what just happened, Brittany stood up and apologized as if nothing happened. "Uhm - it's okay. I didn't mean for you to fall down as well." She said shyly. She was still feeling a tingling sensation on her lips. It wasn't even a real kiss... their lips just brushed for a millisecond and Brittany didn't even look bothered about it.
"I'm just in a lot of stress San." She noticed Brittany's sad face again. The kiss totally didn't happen for the other girl and that sucks but it doesn't matter now. Whatever was making the blonde sad is her current concern. "What happened? You want beer or something? Let's go inside, it's cold here." She offered. Brittany nodded and followed her inside her apartment. "Thanks Santana. Can I have coffee instead?" "Sure. I'll make you one." She mentally thanked Puck for not forgetting coffee when he did the grocery the other day. "Here you go..." She handed the cup of coffee to Brittany and the other girl smiled at her. "Are you okay?" She asked with concern. Brittany sighed and started talking... "No... Artie came to my work place earlier and... He insulted my job and threatened me about getting me back so I'm scared." Brittany was playing with her fingers, a habit that Santana already noticed. "What?! What kind of a person is that? Is he sick?!" She almost shouted. She hasn't seen this person yet but she already hates him.
"He wasn't like that San. I don't know what happened and he's sort of blaming me for his attitude." The blonde said. "Forget him Britt... Call me in case that guy bugs you again... I promise I'll be there and I'll make him stop for good." She said firmly, she would definitely crush that asshole when she sees him. The other girl giggled... "Wow. What did I do to deserve a knight in shining armor?" Brittany was still giggling like a toddler. Santana immediately removed her hands from Brittany's... She's now all red because she didn't know how to respond and she didn't realize she just acted like some kind of girlfriend to Brittany. "Relax San. I'm just kidding..." She was still giggling making Santana blush more. The blonde's laugh was infectious making her laugh too.
"Anyway Britt, here..." she handed her cellphone to Brittany... "Can you put your number and save mine on yours too... just in case you need something then you can reach me anytime." Santana said shyly. Brittany smiled and started typing her number. "There... just send me a message so I can save yours. I didn't bring my phone with me." Brittany handed her phone back with a really sweet smile. "Okay. Thanks Britt." "No San... Thank you for listening. I want to hug you right now..." Brittany wants to hug me. She wants to hug me. "Uh – I kind of want to hug you too." The other girl jumped out of her seat and hugged her. There it was... Brittany's scent and her warm hug... I'm crazy but I want to have something like this forever... with this girl. Santana thought. Brittany released her from her hug and she already misses the warmth it brought.
"San, I just remembered... Sam is the special chef tomorrow night at the Pinnacle. We will meet there after work... come with us please... and bring the rest." Brittany sweetly smiled. "Hmm..." In her mind, it was a big yes but Rachel just dumped a pile of work earlier and she needs to do overtime. "Come on San... that chocolate cake isn't even his best dish. Go please...?" This time Brittany flashed her pout. "Okay. Okay. We'll be there." The other girl grinned knowing that the pout worked on her too.

Brittany woke up an hour earlier than she expected. Her thoughts drifted to what happened yesterday. She was thinking about what happened to Artie... she never saw that coming. It was as if everything else was a dream and that this is the real thing. She sighed. It hurts to think that she caused Artie's changed. She shook her head to stop thinking about her ex-boyfriend because it's making her chest hurt. She instead sat in her bed and took out the notes she's been receiving... the last note she received puzzled her because this person seems to know her. She decided to head to her door and do a little spying in the area. She just opened the door a little to see if it was okay to go outside... and noticed a little basket and a note. "I have a feeling you love coffee... I hope you enjoy this little gift. P.S.: I really want to know you better. – S."
"Shit... who are you S!" She grunted. She went back to her apartment, grabbed a big piece of paper, and wrote: "STOP PLAYING WITH ME... IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ME, REVEAL WHO YOU ARE! -B."
She was a little bit pissed off with this so-called secret admirer. First the white rose and now the coffee... could it be Artie? What if it was Artie... she wouldn't like that. Artie was romantic when they were together but after what he said the other day... "I don't think it's Artie. S, S, S..." Santana popped in her mind again... She tried to erase the thought of Santana being her secret admirer but there is a possibility. She's gay... maybe she likes me? Or she could just be friendly? She went through the notes again... the penmanship definitely isn't Artie's and it looks very neat. Could this be Santana's? She was going over the data she has and her theories about the secret admirer when she received an SMS.
"Hi Brittany. This is Santana, your knight in shining armor... lol. Good Morning. :)"
Brittany unconsciously smiled at the message she just received.
"Well my knight, I just saved your number. See you later! :) Excited! *squeals* Bring my boyfriend to be... :p"
"Next time... I'm still searching for your Mr. Impossible. Let's have fun tonight first... :)"
"O-kay! See you then!"
Brittany was thinking about why Santana had never fallen in love and never had a girlfriend when she seemed like a sweet girl..., sweet people are nice to love, and Santana is sweet... which makes her think about the secret admirer again. She was itching to know who it was and as of now, clues are pointing to Santana. The thought of her thinking it was Santana was stupid but she'd take what she can get... she'll make sure she'll discuss this with the Latina later and if it is indeed the girl... well, that would be another thinking to do.

Brittany just finished her work and is on her way home to get ready for dinner with friends when she received a call..."Sweetie, how are you?" It was her dad. "Dad! I'm great... I really miss you! Is mom there? Tell her I miss her too!" She said excitedly. "We miss you too sweetie. We'll visit you soon... And your mom says she misses you too." "Yey! When?" "I have no definite date but we'll be there I promise." Her dad said. "Okay... But please don't surprise me because I'm a busy woman." She joked. "We won't. We'll tell you when we will arrive." "Okay. Dad... got to go... I'll be having dinner with Quinn and Sam." "Alright sweetie. You three have fun!" "Bye. I love you! And tell it to mom too."

Brittany decided to wear a simple semi-formal dress for dinner. Before she left home, she decided to go over the notes she received again before she talks to Santana. This person saw me on the first day, I did smile to Santana that day, she is an S, and this person obviously knows me a little... "Shit this is all I have... but I really don't know anyone else." She sighed with frustration.
When Brittany reached her car, she saw a little note tucked on the windshield. "Clue: Blue eyes... -S." She immediately scanned the parking lot... there were a few cars but it looks like she's the only one there aside from the guard. Blue eyes? So it's not Santana. Her one and only suspect is now out of the picture. She was getting more and more frustrated about her secret admirer.
"Good evening Miss Pierce. Is everything alright?" The security guard asked her with curiosity. "Yes. Yes." She said firmly. "That's nice to hear. Have a great evening then Miss Pierce." The guard was about to leave but she blurted out a desperate question... "Excuse me... have you seen anyone earlier who might have left something on my car?" She asked hoping he knows. "I haven't noticed anyone. But if you like me to keep watch then I'll take note of it next time Ms. Pierce." And there goes one of her chances... this person is very sneaky. "Thanks... please do watch at times... And can you do me another favor? Please don't call me by my last name. Just Brittany." She has no plans to let other people from their apartment know that the daughter of the Pierces is there. "Yes Ms. Brittany." She smiled at the guard and got inside her car afterwards. She let out a deep sigh. Now she's back to zero... but at least she has one relevant clue... he has blue eyes.

"What took you so long B, we're so hungry." Quinn asked her as soon as she got inside. "That's a very warm greeting Fabray." She rolled her eyes then gave her bestfriend a peck on the cheek. She greeted the rest... Joe, Sugar, Puck and they introduced her to Mercedes. "Where's Santana?" She asked with one of her eyebrows raised. "In the bathroom... trying to look good to impress someone." Sugar answered with a smirk. She just mouthed an "oh" after she heard the reply.
"Hey guys, since all are here now, I'll have your dinner ready and join you after I get everything done in the kitchen." Sam said who looked at everyone and noticed the unfamiliar girl on the table. "Oh this is Mercedes... we all work in the same company." Puck introduced her. Mercedes smiled at him. "Hi. I'm Sam... It's nice meeting you but I got to get back to the kitchen. Talk to you later."
After awhile, Santana came back from the comfort room. "Gorgeous... I love that black dress on you. It's worth the wait." Brittany grinned. "I told you. Thanks for this by the way Quinn." The Latina turned to Quinn. "For what?" The other blonde asked. "Uh, for this dress? Brittany said this was on the house when we went to your shop." Santana said looking at Quinn who looked confused. Alarmed, because she forgot the little lie she told Santana... Brittany gave Quinn the 'just go with it, I'll explain later' look. It's a good thing her bestfriend knows that look which they frequently used to get away with boys back in junior high... "Oh yeah Santana... It looks great on you." "Thanks." The Latina smiled.
Santana's seat was next to her, which is great because she can ask about her secret admirer. Santana was out of the picture but she might know any blue-eyed guys in the apartment. "San..." She said softly. "Yeah?" "Do you remember about the secret admirer I told you?" She asked while studying the other girl's expressions. "Yes... you mentioned before. Why?" The other girl said blandly. "Well earlier he left a clue... Do you know anyone with blue eyes in the building?" She asked with a tone of desperation on her voice. Santana's expression had a frown on her face... "This person has blue eyes?" "Yes, according to his clue." The other girl still has that frown on her face with her mouth slightly open. In Brittany's mind, the Latina was searching for a blue-eyed person from her memory. "So I assume you don't know any blue-eyed person lurking on my apartment?" "I only know one who has blue eyes in the building... and that's you. Actually, I don't know a lot who lives there Britt coz I don't care 'bout them." Santana shrugged. Brittany nodded to the other girl and thought about how stupid she was for thinking that Santana was her secret admirer earlier so she laughed.
"Umm, what? Why are you laughing Britt?" "Well because before I got that clue... I was thinking that you were my secret admirer." She smirked at the Latina. "Me?!" "Yeah! Well we met the first day, you're an S, and you like girls so I thought maybe you are into me." She grinned. "So what if I was into you then?" Santana replied. "If you are... then you're crazy if you would hide using the secret admirer scheme although I have to admit it's actually romantic... too bad though coz you're not the 'S' I'm hunting down..." She laughed. "Mmm..." Santana was about to continue her sentence but the waiters started serving their food.

"Do any of you guys want to sing on stage? It's open for everyone tonight..." Quinn stated. Santana knows about this... and it was her plan all along... to sing and secretly dedicate it to Brittany hoping she would get the message of the song. It's been just a few days and yes... Brittany is making her do all this stuff. "I will and Puck will help me." She said as blandly as possible. "What? I don't know about this Lopez. I don't want to." "Come on... imagine all the girls who would want to get into your pants after?" She said with a smirk. "Woah Lopez. Never forget to include that info when you're asking favors from the Puckerman." She snorted at his reply and the rest of the group laughed at both of them. "That's great! Now we have Joe, you two and some guys." Quinn said excitedly.
"I didn't know you sing San. That's lovely!" Brittany said. I can sing Britt... that's one of your qualifications so I'm showing it off. That's what she wanted to say but instead said, "I'm not really good. I just want to sing now because of the mood this bar is giving me." "Liar... You want to sing it for someone right?" Puck teased and she felt her cheeks reddened. "Puckerman... shut your mouth so you will live and to answer that question... no I'm not singing it for anyone." She lied. Puck was still determined to embarrass her and let her secret slip but Brittany interrupted... "Just let it go Puck... it's kinda obvious why she will sing publicly... it's definitely to impress someone." Brittany said while grinning. What? Does she know I have a crush on her? She panicked a little... just a little because if Brittany knows and she didn't freak out then that's a good sign... right? "Yeah it's pretty obvious Santana." Quinn added. Fuck. Am I that obvious? She remained speechless... "Yes. That chick right there is flirting at her and you definitely want to impress her." Brittany said smirking which sucks... because first, it's totally wrong and the blonde isn't in any way jealous... second, the girl they were referring to which by the way she just noticed is not her type at all... and lastly, Brittany just can't feel that she likes her... a lot. "Oh... I didn't notice her to be honest... thanks for the heads up but meeh... not my type." She shrugged.

Santana and Puck went up the classy stage and they were all there cheering for them. "Mike test." Santana said while Puck was tuning the guitar. When everything was set, Santana spoke up, "Umm, this song is something I can relate to ... hope you like it." Brittany then turned to Quinn... "She's definitely dedicating this to that chick Q." She said. "I don't know Britt. Maybe..." Quinn just shrugged.
All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago
Is blue eyes and freckles and your smile
In the back of my mind making me feel like
"Oh this song is nice... who's the artist?" Brittany asked Sugar. "Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran... it is a nice song. Santana has been replaying and singing this song for a while." She just nodded at the information she got.
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
Brittany is not a big fan of acoustic songs that's why she hasn't heard of this song yet but she really likes it... she mentally noted to research about this song later and add it on her playlist. She is good with lyrics so she tried to remember and analyze the lyrics of the song.
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name
Everything has changed
All I know is I held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
The song finished and everyone cheered... they all loved Santana and Puck's performance. She loved their performance. In fact, the chorus is pretty much stuck on her head right now. "You guys were amazing! I love the song..." She blurted out when Santana and Puck went back to their table. "So is anyone of you digging me right now? What do you think of me now Britt?" Puck said. She laughed at him and noticed Santana glared at her bestfriend. "I still think you're a male whore Puck. Not. My. Type." She smirked. "Lopez, you lied. They're not into me." "I guess it doesn't work for everyone Puck." Santana just rolled her eyes while Puck was still ranting childishly.
"You were great San." She said to the Latina. "Uh, thanks. Do you like the song?" The other girl replied shyly. "I did. I'm gonna look it up and add it on my playlist." "Oh... you don't know the song?" Santana said with a hint of disappointment. "No... not a big fan. But thanks to you... I'll add it on my iPod." She grinned. "Oh... k." Santana said blandly. What's wrong with her? Is it that bad that I don't know the song? Brittany decided to let it go... maybe Santana was not in a good mood today. The Latina haven't spoken to her after that and she doesn't know the girl too well yet for her to attempt a conversation so she just talked to Mercedes who she started to like and thinks has a thing for Sam.
"Britt, we're heading home. Let's all meet up in the apartment." Puck said. "I can't Puck. I'll be heading to the studio." She pouted. "But it's 10 in the evening..." Santana butted in... The first time she spoke to her again after an awkward dinner. "I know... but I have something to do there." She is practicing a new routine for her class. She can do it in the apartment but she does not want to be disturbed nor disturb others. "We'll talk to your boss if you want to... let's continue the party there." Puck said smirking. Sam unintentionally laughed at what Puck said because she is the boss. She hit him in the stomach to stop him. "Ahhh we get it... it's a boss and you thing?" Puck said while grinning... obviously thinking about something dirty again. "Uhm... sort of." She replied just to shut him off. When she glanced at Santana... the girl looked a little pissed off which made her think about the girl's attitude again. Is it because Puck was being indecent again? Or because she's not joining them? What's wrong with her? Despite her confusion, she wanted to explain herself to her. "I just have to do something in an hour or two... and I'm not going to hook up with my boss. I'll catch up with you guys. Don't tell me the party is over by 12?" She laughed. "Okay Britt. We'll see you later then." Quinn said. She bid goodbye and Santana still had a disappointed look on her face.
Brittany decided to rest for a while after almost 2 hours of practice. She was humming the song Santana and Puck sang earlier so she decided to download it and started playing the song... She loved it and kept on replaying the song... "Is green eyes and freckles and your smile..." Green eyes? I thought it was blue eyes? I really don't remember "green eyes" earlier... Weird. I'm pretty sure it was blue eyes. While still trying to ponder the lyrics, she received an SMS...
Santana: I thought you'll be here by 12?
She looked at the time and realized it was almost 1 in the morning... She still has to do a little clean up in the studio because she doesn't want a messy workplace. She forgot to send Santana a reply so when she was done cleaning and checked her phone she has 10 missed calls from Santana and 2 new messages...
Santana: Britt? Are you okay? I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you but I'm worried.
Santana: Sorry if you are already annoyed... but I'm really worried. Like really worried... :/
She smiled at Santana's messages. It was really sweet and Santana is acting like a boyfriend... no... girlfriend... and she liked it.
San, I'm sorry. I was practicing a dance routine and I didn't notice the time. I'm on my way home... See you. Mwah! :)
Santana: Finally you replied. They already left... I'll wait for you outside okay? Mwah... :)
Don't wait outside San! It's cold. I'll call when I arrive. :)
Brittany went home feeling giddy inside... Santana was so sweet and it's weird but she likes it... Yes, Santana is a girl but she doesn't mind... she knows her bestfriends and parents won't mind either. When she arrived at her unit floor, she was not expecting to see anyone but Santana was there... she waited for her even if it was cold outside with two cups of warm coffee prepared.
