Hey it's M&M, honestly at least for me when cheating happens in a relationship it does take time to forgive and forget, but if you honestly want nothing more than be with that person you ignore the jealousy until you are in the situation. What I'm trying to say is you get back together than you start to freak out on them when their with other people or you see them flirting. At least that's how it's always been with me. Anyways here goes our next chapter enjoy it my pretties.

Thanksgiving Dinner.
Thursday November 27th, 3013
Santana's back ached as if a dozen hobbits paraded on her back all night. She wipes her eyes as the feeling of drowsiness consumes her. Santana swings her legs off the bed stretching her hands above her head. She shakes her head as a yawn breaks free from her mouth. Santana feels an arm wrap around her midsection. She freezes in terror afraid to see who is sleeping beside her. Santana takes a deep breath before turning her head. "What-How-Seri-No-Whatever!" Santana shrugs as she leaves Rachel in her bed alone. She grabs clothes and heads to her bathroom that's attached to her room to shower.
Santana stepped back from the mirror and adjusted her loose fitting classy white shirt then pulled her blue jeans up a just a smidge. Damn I look sexy. Today is going to be perfect. The Latina goddess gives a sly smile to the mirror then heads back into her bedroom. Damn I wasn't hallucinating. She thought to herself as she saw Rachel sitting up on her bed wiping sleep out of eyes.
Santana eyes Rachel as she sits up pulling Bo into her lap. "Don't you like, have your own bed?" Santana rests her hand on her hip
"That's what I said last night, before you dragged me up here and ravished me." Rachel says shyly tuning away.
Santana burst with laughter. Tears falling from her eyes. "Ravish? The only thing I would ravish you with would be a bat and trust me that would not be pleasant. " Santana grabs her side trying to stop the throbbing pain that was cause with laughing so hard
"You're no fun." Rachel says petulantly. "I didn't want to be alone and Kurt went out last night." Rachel's eyes fall and she get's out of Santana's bed still wearing the outfit she wore last night.
"Oh come on Rach I was kidding" Santana laughs slightly. "Hey wasn't that the outfit you wore on your date last night?" Santana notices the clothes that she helped her pick out.
Santana walks towards Rachel putting a comforting hand on the shorter girls shoulder. Then rips Bo out of her hands. "Don't touch her" Santana says cradling the unicorn.
Rachel shrugs, "Yeah, umm I kinda left the date early."
"Wait- what- why did you leave it early. I thought you liked her? What happened" Santana asks.
"I kinda saw Quinn and Joel across the street." Rachel mumbles. "They were having dinner at some old diner and I felt like i was losing her." Rachel moves her feet around uncomfortably. "She was having a cheeseburger." Rachel says sadly.
"You thought you were losing her because you saw her eating a cheese burger?" Really! this girl can't be serious.
"What, no. Can you even hear yourself that sounds ridiculous." Rachel informs Santana. "Anyways I told her I wanted to talk and she came over and we got into a fight."
"What was the fight about?" Santana asks sitting on her bed.
"It's not important." Rachel says sheepishly and turns away from Santana.
"If it wasn't important hobbit why did you crawl in my bed last night?" Santana asks prying for information.
"I know everyone wants to sleep with me but I have to be swooned first" Santana lays back in her bed grabbing her phone
"We fought about different things our attitudes... Joel you know common stuff." Rachel says trying to avoid any details. "She's leading him on you know." Rachel says defensively
"Your leading Carli on also." Santana closes her eyes sighing softly with Bo pressed to her chest.
Rachel sighs, "She's my best friend Santana, I don't want to lose that." Rachel says bitterly. "Can we just get the food ready, I really just want to get through Thanksgiving."
Santana slowly sits up, puts Bo on the bed and follows Rachel out the door.
Brittany wakes up stuffs her phone in her sleep pants and heads to the kitchen. She makes herself a bowl of Lucky Charms and begins picking out the marshmallows and putting them in her mouth. The innocent blonde looks through her phone. Aw, no text from Santana. Maybe she is still sleeping. Brittany thinks to herself as the front door opens. Quinn and Joel entering with Quinn in the same outfit as last night. Brittany gives Quinn a questioning look as she puts a marshmallow in her mouth. Quinn gives Britt a look that tells her they will talk about it later.
"Hey Joel, thanks again for the ride." Quinn lets go of Joel's hand and smiles.
"Anytime see you later." He leans in kissing her cheek softly.
"Sure you don't want to stay." Quinn asks concerned.
"I'm sure. I'm pretty sure Brittany is harvesting a mouth full of flies right now." Joel looks at Brittany's open mouth and chuckles before leaving. Quinn walks over to Brittany and puts her finger under her chin. Quinn gently pushes up closing the stunned girl's mouth. She takes off her glasses and wipes her eyes across her arms.
"What is it Britt?" Quinn's tired voice asks.
"OMG! You slept with Joel." Brittany's shock still evident in her voice.
"No I didn't" Quinn says defensively.
"But why did you sleep with Joel if your in love with Rachel?" The taller blonde asks ignoring Quinn's respond.
"Okay Brittany listen to me." Quinn leans in as their eyes meet. "Rachel and I got in a fight last night. Then Joel took me to the beach to make me feel better." Quinn tries explaining herself.
"So you had sex on the beach? That's so romantic I want to do that." Brittany zones out as thoughts of her and Santana on the beach.
"Britt. Britt!" Quinn snaps her fingers in front of Britt's face.
"Whoa, What?" Brittany frowns when Quinn breaks her out of her fantasy.
"Are you even listening to me?" Quinn raises an eyebrow giving Brittany a look telling her she knows she wasn't.
"Nope but I'm kind of mad you interrupted my daydream of sweet lady kisses." Brittany smiles cheekily before popping another marshmallow into her mouth.
"Ugh." Quinn groans, "I need to get a little sleep. I'll be up in a few hours to get everything ready to go."
"Wait. Quinn! Quick question." Brittany gives a mischievous smile. "was he good?" Brittany Giggles. Quinn huffs then stomps to her room slamming the door. Brittany shrugs then continues to eat her marshmallows. She then pulls out her phone sending Santana a text about what happened.
Brittany 10:47am: Quinn and Joel just got back from making sweet lady babies. =)
"Did Quinn just get in?" Sam asks entering the kitchen and preparing himself some eggs.
"She had sex with Joel." Brittany nods gravely. Sam gives her a doubtful look, so Brittany adds. "On the beach." Brittany's phone vibrates next to her bowl. She hurriedly grabs it and frowns looking at the text.
Santana 10:50am: No Way! Lucky Bitch!
Brittany 10:51am: =( I guess he's okay =(
Santana 10:53am: No Brit! Not like that. She had sex on the Beach that's awesome =)
Brittany smiles as she reads Santana's text. She looks up catching Sam watching her.
"B, can we talk?" Sam takes the seat across from Brittany.
"Umm, okay." Brittany says cautiously.
"So this is it you've forgiven her? Are you guys back together?" Sam goes straight for the throat.
"Yes Sam I've forgiven her, She's not the only one who has made a mistake." Brittany pauses before going on. "No we are not together, we're working on it."
Sam scoffs "How can you trust her after what happened? What about-" Sam blurts excitedly before she cuts the stunned young man off.
"I don't! like I said we are working on it." Brittany all but shouts." don't you trust me. I feel better then I have since we broke up. Can't you just let me be happy."
"What about my happiness Britt; Doesn't that matter?" Sam says. He curses himself after what he just said.
"Sam…" Brittany says sadly.
"You know what Brittany. Just forget it." Sam throws his eggs away, rushes to his room and slams the door.
"Geez is everyone mad at me today?" Brittany sighs and frowns realizing she ate all the marshmallows.
Santana stuffs her phone in her pocket trying not to draw attention to it. Rachel eyes Santana suspiciously.
"Who was that?" Rachel ask curiously
"Just Brittany." Santana dodges gracefully as she puts some final touches on her macaroni salad.
"Oh. So you guys are talking again?" Rachel puts the baked potatoes in the oven.
"Kinda" Santana shrugs.
"Aren't we a well of information?" Rachel says sarcastically. "Was that the girl in your room the other night?" Rachel asks.
"No…Quinn was in my room that night." Santana pulls out her nail file and started on her nails while leaning against the kitchen counter.
Rachel starts and stops several times before spitting it out. "Why?" Rachel suddenly becomes very self conscious. "Did you-Did she, uh did anything-"
"Haha wow are you serious? Why would I? IF you havent heard im in love with Brittany and if I slept with anyone or had mind blowing, earth shattering sex. It definitely will not be with Quinn." Santana laughs at Rachel's question again." You people are on crack." Santana laughs at Rachel's question again. "You people are ridiculous."
"So why was she here? Did she hear me talking to Carli?" Rachel curses herself. The door opens before Santana has a chance to respond. Kurt comes in grinning mischievously.
"I've come bearing gifts." Kurt says giddily as Blaine and Sugar enter the apartment. "Cute ones." the excessively happy boy says as he interlocks his hand with Blaine.
"Santana!" Sugar screams in excitement as she charges the stunned Latina. Sugar leaps into Santana wrapping her arms and legs around her with such force it knocks Santana against the counter. Santana laughs and pushes off the counter spinning around. Sugar squeals for a second.
"Hey sweets." Santana says dropping her arms from around Sugar's waist. Sugar jumps down and screams happily again. "Hey bow-tie boy." Santana waves at the gentleman in the bow-tie.
"I'm going to show Blaine what New York fashion has to offer." Kurt pulls Blaine in the direction of his bedroom as Blaine waves to Santana. Santana catches the sound of a door closing as the three girls begin to catch up. Sugar's presence saves Santana anymore probing form Rachel. The girls discuss the numbers the glee club are doing while Santana checks on the turkey.
Time spins out of control and the doorbell breaks the ladies conversation. "Can I get the door?" Sugar asks bubbling with enthusiasm.
"Sure." Santana waves off taking her apron and placing it on the counter while checking her hair in the toaster. Sugar rolls her eyes and bounces to the door. Sugar pulls it open revealing a now ecstatic Brittany and a shocked Quinn and Sam.
"Oh my God! Sugar!" Brittany screams with excitement.
"Oh my God! Brittany!" Sugar shouts with the same enthusiasm. Santana watches as the two girls hold each other while jumping up and down squealing in happiness. The mocha colored lady chuckles at the two.
Quinn pushes her glasses up and waves at Santana. Santana notices Rachel avidly tossing a salad. After a few moments Quinn says, The guys are right behind us with the food."
Rachel stops tossing the salad and just stares at it while Quinn talks.
"Boys?" Sugar pops in.
"Yes Puck and Joely." Santana says.
"Oh yeah… Blaine is here also. Where did he go? Sugar looks around now noticing Kurt is gone also.
"Blaine! Blaine!" Brittany shots through the loft. Brittany walks towards Kurt's room while Santana begins to warn her.
"You don't want to go in there." Santana says right behind her.
"Why not?" Brittany turns questioningly towards the girl. Brittany ignores Santana's answer as she checks out the fiery Latina. Her eyes starting at her shoes traveling up her tight jeans that show off her legs perfectly, up to her chest which she realizes the shirt the girl is wearing is from the day in high school where she told Brittany how she felt through the song 'Songbird'. Brittany smiles recalling the day that changed everything for the two.
"Brittany my eyes are up here." Santana snaps the blonde out of her thoughts Santana smirks as she sees a tint of red on the blonde girls cheeks.
"My view was so much better though." Brittany smirks walking past a wide eyed Santana. "San you coming?" Brittany shouts behind her. Santana gulps and turns around seeing Puck and Joel just arrive.
"Joely! I heard you had fun at the beach last night." Santana winks at Joel.
"Huh?" Joel looks at Quinn who is shocked.
"Joely this is Sugar she is from our high school. Sugar this is Joely. He is Puck's room mate." Santana introduces the two.
"Are you a half-giant like that guy from Harry Potter?" Sugar asks Joel.
"Nope, all human I'm afraid." Joel informs her.
"To bad I like magic." Sugar says with a frown.
"Sam want to help me with the rest of the food in the car." Joel asks Sam. Sam nods and follows Joel out to the car. Santana heads back into the kitchen where Rachel is still gazing at the salad.
Puck walks into the Kitchen. "Hey I'm gonna go smoke if that's cool?" Puck asks. Santana gives him a nod and puck walks out after getting permission.
"Wait!" Quinn grabs her jacket and follows the Mo-hawk boy outside. Brittany is curious to see what's going on, follows them out with Sugar attached to her hip.
Joel and Sam return from the car as the oven begins to beep. Santana opens the oven to check the turkey causing Rachel to escort the salad to the table where the guys are unloading. Rachel freezes in shock and outrage for a moment as she notices Joel's wedding ring for the first time. Rachel makes strangling noises as she states, "You're married!" Joel reflexes take over and he grabs something inside his shirt reminding Rachel of her fight with Quinn last night. They even have the same habits. her mind taunts furthering her rage. "What kind of sick piece of shit is chasing tail instead of being with his wife? You know what I feel sorry for her she's got a real winner." Rachel says with disgust.
Joel stands frozen like a deer in the headlights when Sam jumps in for his dumbstruck friend. "Rachel you need to shut the hell up." Sam orders as Santana comes to see what the fuss is about.
"Trouty I think you need to be the one that shuts the hell up. This is none of your business." Santana stands next to Rachel protectively.
"I think you the one who needs to stay out of things, like Brittany's life." Sam says smugly.
"Excuse me? I don't think you should be telling me what to do since she wants me and not you." Santana gets in Sam's face.
"You need to get your woman and quit messing around with other people's." Rachel says her voice getting louder.
"You need to stop worrying about my family, and stop yanking 'your woman around.'" Joel says coldly then turns and puts his arm on Sam's chest.
"How long do you expect us to sit and wait why you manipulate her Santana?" Sam retorts.
"I'm not manipulating her! I love her you dick." Santana clenches her fist into her side.
"I'm not yanking her around. You're the dick who is cheating on your wife!" Rachel yells her voice filled with rage.
"What the hell is going on here!" Quinn's voice has an imperialistic tone. The four combatants turn and see Quinn and Brittany looking at them with disappointment.
Puck and Sugar come up behind the two blondes looking concerned as the four brawlers say 'Nothing' at the same time. Rachel turns and rushes to her room closing the door behind her. "Ugh!" Quinn groans in frustration and then pursues her. Sam sheepishly walks off to the couch as Joel heads out the front door. Puck grabs Sugar and follows Sam into the living room as the oven beeps sending Santana back to the turkey. Santana walks into the kitchen hearing footsteps behind her. Santana pulls the plates out slamming them on the counter making Brittany jump. Santana puts her hands on the edge of the counter leaning forward taking a deep breath calming herself down. Brittany watches leaning against the door frame waiting for Santana to speak.
"I'm sorry." Santana turns to see Brittany watching her.
"For?" Brittany raises her eyebrows making Santana work for it.
"For getting in a fight with Tr-Sam." Santana says while looking down.
"What was it about?" Brittany asks.
"You." Santana takes a step forward feeling their connection pull them together.
"San." Brittany sighs. "you can't keep fighting with him over me." Brittany takes Santana's hand rubbing small circles on top of it.
"I know, but he acts like he owns you. It's frustrating." Santana huffs in exaggeration.
"He doesn't own me. Only one person owns this heart." Brittany looks into Santana's eyes trying to transfer all the love she can muster.
"Who would that be? Santana asks with a smirk on her face.
"If you wait you may just find out." Brittany says cutely before grabbing the potatoes and putting it on the table as Santana carries the Turkey into the dinning area. They both begin to giggle as they put the food down.
Everyone starts gathering at the table and Santana notices a few missing. "Where is Rachel and Joel?" Santana asks.
"She wanted to get him." Quinn says quietly looking at the open front door.
Santana sighs, "Well that was a great idea." Santana stalks towards the front door. Santana didn't mean to eavesdrop, but these things happen.
"Joel, I'm sorry, I didn't know." Rachel says sincerely.
"It's fine." Joel grunts. "Do you want to make it up to me?" Joel asks after a moment.
"Yes." Rachel says carefully.
"Tell her how you feel, because you don't know when something will take her away." Joel says sadly.
"Okay kiddo's, I need Joely to cut the ham." Santana jumps in before they both turn into an emotional mess. The three of them head to the kitchen to see Puck standing by the turkey expectantly.
"Don't you dare Puckerman." Santana warns while grabbing the cutting knife. "Or you will be missing some important pieces."
"Tell me I'm not the only one concerned that she has a knife." Puck says with mock seriousness earning him a few snickers from around the table. Santana levels a gaze around the table ending it on Puckerman, silence echoes around the table. Puck shuffles over to the ham. Santana keeps her eyes locked on him and shakes her head. "What your going to cut the ham too?" Puck whines.
"Joely is going to cut the ham." Santana says daring anyone to question her. Joel shrugs and stands up cutting the ham. The rest of the table gets up grabbing plates and piles food on to them. Out comes Blaine and Kurt.
"You started without us?" Kurt accuses.
"I didn't realize you guys where even here." Quinn mumbles softly.
"Maybe if your bedroom didn't sound like an episode of animal planet someone would have gotten you ." Santana says matter of factly. Puck falls out of his chair laughing.
"Oh can I watch, I love that show." Brittany says with excitement. Puck begins to howl with laughter form the floor.
"The shows over Brittany." Blaine informs her, his face red with embarrassment.
"Juvenile." Kurt comments his new glow over shadowing any embarrassment. " I'm in a great mood and you can't ruin it." Kurt takes Blaine's hand and they take their seats.
Santana and Joel begin passing around the turkey and ham being careful to avoid Rachel. The others at the table begin passing around the other food and before long everyone was eating. Brittany was picking the marshmallows out of her candied yams when she notices how close and flirty Blaine and Kurt are acting.
"You two had sex!" Brittany blurted across the table causing a ripple of laughter. "Lucky!" Brittany giggles and Blaine's jaw drops along with Santana's. Brittany smiles brightly at her.
"Guess who else had sex!?" Brittany says excitedly.
"Brit-N-" Quinn starts but is interrupted by the energetic blonde.
"Quinn and Joel." Brittany smiles while Quinn covers her head shaking it furiously. Rachel drops her utensils on her plate shock showing across her face.
Joel turns solemnly to Quinn. "When were you going to tell me?" Joel asks with a serious expression.
"Okay." Quinn says letting out some air. "Joel and I-" Quinn gets interrupted again.
"On the beach guys. Isn't that romantic." Brittany says giving Quinn a sly smile. Puck pats Joel on the back and Joel shakes his head denying the story that was evolving.
"It's not true." Quinn pleads desperately.
"All that sand." Kurt says shivering uncomfortably as Santana and Rachel have a silent conversation about joining in.
"How does that even work, he's like twice your size." Sugar adds.
"It's easy especially if the gi-person is shorter then you." Brittany shrugs catching herself. Santana still oblivious to the conversation as her and Rachel begin whispering to each other.
"Not saying we did but I am not twice her size." Joel defends his height.
"Your more like the Jolly green Giant…Sorry asphergers." Sugar shrugs.
"I swear you make that up." Santana laughs joining in.
"I give up" Quinn throws her hands up in defeat.
"Me too" Rachel says solemnly and heads into the kitchen.
"What's her problem?" Puck asks. "Everyone is having fun." Puck looks around the table. "Didn't we bring some wine?"
"I'll get it." Quinn sighs deeply as she takes her glasses off and rubs the bridge of her nose. Quinn walks into the kitchen as the rest of the table continues taking shots at Joel.
A few minutes Quinn returns with a bottle of wine and pours wine for everyone who wanted some.
"Where's Rachel?" Santana whispers to Quinn causing her to over pour.
"She's not talking to me." Quinn says softly. Santana sighs at Rachel's stubbornness. Rachel comes back to the dinning room with a fake smile on her face caring a glass of white wine. Dinner and the football game pass by without any more flair ups.
Quinn, Britt and Sam are walking towards the door after Puck and Joel left.
"thanks for having us over." Quinn says tentatively to Rachel. The brunette just nods not meeting Quinn's eyes.
"Yes thanks San." Brittany shifts her weight to the opposite foot.
"Bye Britt see you tomorrow." Santana gives the girl an award winning smile.
"Can I walk Brittany to the car?" Sugar asks pouting at Santana who gives her a nod. Quinn and Sam follow the two skipping ladies to their vehicle. Santana looks around relaying that the dynamic duo left her alone with Rachel.
"Who did she lose?" Rachel asked Santana directly catching her by surprise.
"You need to talk to Quinn about that." Santana stares at the doorway the girls just left through.
"Why can't you tell me?" Rachel asks getting annoyed at Santana's responses.
"Because its not my place to tell." Santana says coolly.
"But, she has someone." Rachel says scavenging what information she could before storming off to her room.
"Why such a large sigh, my lady?" Sugar asks sweetly.
"Women are so crazy." Santana complains.
"Hey I take offense to that, and so should you." Sugar sticks out her tongue. "It may be true, but you are not supposed to say it." Santana wraps sugar up in an embrace before the two clean off the table and get some work done in the kitchen. The two of them finish up and head to Santana's room and sit on her bed. Sugar wastes no time and leaps right into it.
"Why aren't you guys dating anymore?" Sugar asks pointedly.
"How did you know?" Santana grabs sweat pants and a shirt tossing them to Sugar to change into.
"I have eyes Santana, stop trying to change the subject." Sugar takes no nonsense as she strips down and begins to change.
"I cheated on her…" Santana sighs softly and looks down disappointed in herself.
"Why would you do that?" Sugar asks calmly.
"I was being Stupid. I really don't want to talk about it." Santana begins to get irritated.
"Do you still love Brittany." Sugar ignores the Latina.
"Of course. I do! I love her more then anyone in this world. I'm in love with her." Santana sits on the bed facing Sugar.
"Good because she still loves you." Sugar says brightly then leans in closer to Santana. "So why aren't you guys together?"
"I don't trust myself to not mess up again." Santana smiles.
"Santana if you guys still love each other you should be together." Sugar says not waiting for a response. Sugar grabs Bo and pulls her into her lap. "So go get her back.
"Alright I will" Santana grabs her car keys. "I'll be back" Santana shouts while running out the door jumping into her car and heading to Brittany's. Santana drives as her mind argues. What am I doing? Sugar is right I need to do this. No I messed up and neither of us trust me. I love her and that is all that matters. The song playing grabs Santana by the heart and she cranks up the volume.
Maybe I need some rehab.
Or maybe I need some sleep.
I got a sick obsession
I'm seeing it in my dreams.
Santana begins singing with the song, tapping her fingers against the steering wheel.
I'm looking down every alley
I'm making those desperate calls
I'm Staying up all night hoping,
Hit my head against the wall.
Santana pulls in front of the apartment lowering the volume turning off the car and heading upstairs. Every step she takes she gets more nervous. Her confidence completely gone when she arrives at the door. She takes a deep breath then knocks softly hoping Britt would be the one to answer. You can do this Santana.
"San?" Brittany opens the door giving her a warm smile.
"Hey Britt. What you doing up?" Santana asks letting her nerves stall her.
"Trying to find Lord Tubbington's cigarettes. He's started smoking again." Brittany frowns. "What are you doing here? It's not Friday yet. Is it?" Brittany's eyes gleam with excitement.
"No I just came to tell you that I love you more then anyone in this world. I want to be with you, and only you." Santana rushes the words out of her mouth.
"I love you too." Brittany says with tears in her eyes.
"You do?" Santana asks skeptically.
"Of course silly" Brittany wraps her arms around Santana pulling her close. Santana hugs her then steps back not trying to do anything she will regret later.
"I really want to kiss you…" Brittany says starring at the Latina's lips.
"I do too but we need to wait." Santana bits her lip before backing up more.
"I will see you tomorrow." Santana whispers.
"See you San." Brittany slowly closes the door leaving Santana in complete bliss. Santana rushes home to see Sugar asleep wrapped around Bo.
"You cant be serious. These girls need to keep their paws off my unicorn." Santana changes into her pajamas grabbing Bo and laying back down next to Sugar. Santana's phone buzzes on her dresser. She opens it. Squinting her eyes to see the text.
Brittany 1:48am: I love you cant wait for tomorrow. I mean today. Oh I found Lord Tubbs stash. Night.
Santana text a quick reply back before falling asleep with a smile on her face.
Your love is my Drug-Ke$ha (Santana driving in her car.)
