The cab ride was pleasant. Even though Brittany was somehow awkward and dorky, Santana felt safe in the company of Brittany and somehow the bubbly smiles she flashes her once in a while made Santana feel all sorts of things.

Brittany's apartment was just a 20-minute drive from the airport. The cab carefully pulled to a stop.

"That's my apartment. So, yeah. We better get out now. " Brittany said shyly even though during the ride she felt really comfortable with the brunette. Maybe it's just the giddy feeling she has now because Santana is going to stay at her apartment for a while and that makes her nervous.

Brittany searched her bag for money so she could pay the cab driver. As she was searching inside her huge bag, a phone began to ring. Brittany checked if that was hers, but it wasn't. It was Santana's

"I'll just answer this. Yeah?"

Brittany nodded while she was still searching her huge bag.

"Hey Papi… Uhm, I left the airport. I thought you weren't gonna come."

"I'm sorry. I got caught up in my meetings. Where are you anyway? You might get lost. You don't have anyone with you." Her father told her with worry in his voice.

"No. Papi, I'm… with someone actually… But before you think anything else, she offered me help. She doesn't seem like a dangerous person."

"What? Santana! You went with someone you don't even know? What have I told you since you were a little girl?" Her father's voice raised at her and Brittany heard it.

"Don't talk to strangers… I know that Papi, but I'm not your little girl anymore. I'm 21 now, okay?" Santana tried her best to say that loudly. Brittany just looked at her worried.

"Santana." He said her name sternly. "Go grab a cab and go to the address I'll text you. You can do that right?"

"Yes, Papi."

"Okay. Be safe Santana." He hung up that phone before Santana could answer.

Santana turned to Brittany when the call ended.

"Hey, Brittany. That was my dad. He just got caught up in his meeting and he just texted me the address of where I'm going to be staying…" Brittany just looked at her with a look that urges her to continue.

"…So, I'm going to have to go now." Santana said reluctantly.

"Oh, okay. That's good. You can be with your father now." She told Santana with a grin but the slight disappointment in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Santana.

"Uhm… Santana?"

"Yes, Britt?"

Brittany paused for a moment and threw her gaze on the floor. She took a deep breath, "Is there, by any chance, can I… get your number?"

Santana smiled at her dorkiness. "Of course Brittany." She said, still sporting the grin on her face.

Brittany smiled at her answer. They exchanged numbers. Santana then hailed a cab. As she was opening the door she gave one last look towards Brittany and gave her a shy smile. Brittany immediately returned the smile. And with one last wave the cab took off.

As the cab was already moving, Santana suddenly remembered that she hasn't thanked Brittany yet for helping her. She just decided to text her.

For the rest of the cab ride, Santana just took in the sights and have been constantly thinking about the blonde she just met. She can't help thinking that maybe fate has laid a hand on this one. She can't help thinking that this just doesn't happen in real life. She has never believed in love at first sight before but this circumstance is making her feel like it does exist. Yeah, she doesn't know the blonde yet but she can't get this feeling out of her. This feeling, she can't pinpoint yet.

The cab pulled to a stop and this made the Latina snap out of her thoughts. She paid the driver and got off. In front of her eyes, stood a building that looks so luxurious. There were chandeliers on the lobby and it gave off a hotel feeling even though this was an apartment. She went into the elevators and pressed level 21 which was written on the text her father gave her. She went to find the apartment labeled 2106 and knocked on it. When no one answered, she reached for the knob and found that it wasn't locked. She entered the apartment and looked if her dad was there. She then saw a note in the coffee table in the living room. She picked up the note and read it.

Santana. Welcome to your own place here in New York. That's right. This is all yours. I know that I haven't been a good father figure to you but always know that I love you. I know that this doesn't fix anything really but I just want a chance from you. I'm really glad that your mom gave me permission to have you for at least two months and I guarantee you that I will try my best to spend my free time with you and just bond. I love you so much Tana and I regret everything that I have ever done to you. The last year you went here, I was too busy with work and had barely even had time for you. I'm gonna change it this time, alright baby? I miss you and I'm sorry if you were expecting that I'll be here. This is your own place so enjoy it! I'll see you tomorrow honey. We'll have breakfast together. Okay? I love you. –Dad.

Santana smiled at the note and tried to contain the happy tears welling up. Though, she could only hope that her father will stay true to his word this time.

As Brittany was getting ready for bed, she heard her phone buzz. She was acting all bummed out because Santana didn't stay over. This feeling is confusing her. She hasn't known the brunette for long but she became attached already. She picked up her phone from her night table tiredly but when she saw the Latina's name in her phone's screen, her face lit up.

Hey B. I totally forgot to thank you. Anyway, THANKS! Have a good night! And I meant it that I will make it up to you! ;) – S

Brittany re-read the text over and over again. She couldn't believe the way her heart fluttered with just one simple text. She laid in bed and fell asleep clutching her phone to her chest.
