I really hope this chapter is up to par. It was kind of a filler, but it's fluffy at the end :). I hope you enjoy and thank you all so much for your reviews.
Over the past week, Santana had completely fallen for Brittany. They duo had been hanging out with each other every day, and Santana loved it. She couldn't get enough of the bubbly blonde. To think that in three days, they would each be going back to their homes made the Latina girl sad. She didn't want to say goodbye to Brittany, she liked her too much.
As she looked at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breathe. Today she was not only meeting Rachel Berry, but she was also going on her first official date with Brittany. They were meeting Quinn and Rachel for dinner. They were actually picking her up in a few minutes. 'I can do this… It's just Brittany's friends… Whose opinions matter more than her parents…' Santana thought as she walked out the bathroom to answer the door.
"Ready?" Brittany said smiling. Santana's breath caught, Brittany looked beautiful. She was in a tight dark blue dress and heels. Her hear was in a bun, but she had her bangs falling on her face.
"You look beautiful." Santana said and Brittany blushed. Rachel had said she looked good, but hearing it from Santana meant more. Santana was in a tight black dress that showed off her cleavage, Brittany had to bite her lip to keep from staring too much.
"You look beautiful-er." She said and Santana blushed and smiled at her. Brittany sighed contentedly. Tonight would be a good night.
Santana was as calm as possible while they were in the car, but now that they were actually at dinner with her idol and her girlfriend, she couldn't calm herself. She took Brittany's hand and intertwined their fingers which made Brittany smile. She was aware that Santana was nervous, but she couldn't grasp why. It was only Rachel and Quinn.
"So, Brittany told me you live in California." Quinn said looking at Santana.
"Yeah, I do. But I don't really like it." Santana said as she sipped her wine. Quinn nodded.
"You sing?" Rachel asked and Santana blushed.
"Not anywhere near as awesome as you do, but yeah." She said and Brittany smiled and squeezed her hand in support.
"You should sing for us!" Quinn and Brittany laughed.
"In the middle of dinner?" Santana asked choking on her drink. Rachel nodded and looked at her to begin. Santana took a deep breath and nodded. Brittany was happy, she hadn't heard the Latina sing yet and was excited to hear her.
Why would anybody want to fall in love?
My hands get sweaty and I trip up on my words
I'm telling bad jokes and I swear that I get on my own nerves
Why would anybody want to fall in love?
Santana looked at Brittany and she smiled. Quinn and Rachel looked at each other with a knowing expression. Brittany was head over heels and so Santana.
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
Why would anybody want to fall in love?
Saying goodnight has never been so tough
We talk until my cellphone's dead; I still can't get enough
Why would anybody want to fall in love?
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
Why would anybody want to fall in love?
I'm doing all the things I never thought I'd do
My friends all think I'm crazy,
well I'm crazy about you
Brittany pecked the other girls cheek as she sang.
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, when I'm with you
When Santana finished her impromptu performance, Brittany clapped along with Quinn and Rachel. Brittany was surprised at how beautiful her voice was. She never doubted she could sing, but actually hearing her was different.
After dinner the four girls made their way to Brittany's house. Brittany was so happy that her friends approved of Santana. But she couldn't stop wondering what they were going to do when they had to go back home. Would they do long distance, or would they end it here? She sighed and Santana looked over at her and dropped her brow. She looked as if she was going to say something before Quinn took the brunettes hand and they left the room. Rachel looked over at Brittany and shrugged.
When they left the house, Santana looked over the blonde who looked angry.
"Did I do…" Santana started but Quinn cut her off.
"Shush, please let me talk. Brittany's my friend. One of my best friends actually and I don't want to see her hurt. She's a fragile and emotional person so I'll know if you break her heart. Also, what are you wanting to do with your relationship once you leave?"
Santana sighed. "I want to move to New York. Nothing is keeping me in Cali, but I can't right away so I want to do long distance until I can move up there. But I haven't talked to her yet. So I'm not really sure." She said kicking some sand around and crossing her arms in front of her.
"So you care about her?" Quinn asked looking at the sky.
"More than I should probably. I started falling in love with her the first night we met. She's special." Santana said smiling. Quinn smiled at her.
"Good. Hurt her and I'll kill you. Let's go." She said leading the Latina back into the house.
Quinn and Rachel went to bed leaving Brittany and Santana in the living room. Brittany was ecstatic, even Quinn approved!
"What are we going to do when we leave?" Santana whispered. Brittany frowned at how sad the girl sounded.
"I want to still date you." Santana looked up at her and smiled.
"So long distance?" Brittany shook her head.
"You can move up to New York. Duh…" she said putting her head on Santana's shoulder. Santana rested her head on the blondes and smiled.
"Well, I was planning on that. I'm glad we're on the same page." She felt Brittany nod.
"How do you feel about me?" Brittany asked warily. She needed to see if they had the same feelings.
"You make me happy, a happy I've never felt before. When I'm with you it just feels right, like it was meant to be that way. You make me live. And even though you take my breath away, I feel more alive with you than ever before." Brittany started crying tears of joy.
"That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever told me…"
"Well, if we keep dating I'll find more ways to tell you how I feel. I'm not good with words, but I'll figure it out. I promise." Brittany kissed Santana passionately. Santana moaned at the sudden passion from the blonde and matched it with a passion of her own. Brittany broke the kiss when she needed oxygen.
"Stay tonight."
