Ran into a major case of writer's block... but I'm back :)
Tears of sadness were washed away with those of absolute happiness. They pulled away from the kiss breathless, their lips swollen and slightly bruised.
"I've missed you so much, Brit," Santana whispered, "I don't always know what to say when it comes to feelings, but I know that telling you I love you is the truest thing I'll ever said in my life." Santana's voice was so sincere.
Brittany pulled Santana into an embrace and playfully planted featherlight kisses along Santana's face. "I missed you", kiss, "every day", kiss, "every second", kiss, "I love you", kiss, "I never stopped."
A deep grumble echoed throughout the room. Santana quickly grabbed her stomach, her eyes wide with embarrassment. For the first time in months both girls fell into a laughing frenzy, the kind of laughter that lifted their spirits and shed light into their souls. It was a sweet dose of medicine for their mending hearts.
Brittany grabbed Santana's hand and led them towards the door.
"Where are we going, Brit?"
"Kitchen.. you're starving. Your tummy told me so."
Santana let Brittany pull her towards the hallway. In the back of her mind she thought that so long as she was with her, she'd go just about anywhere.
They moved around each other effortlessly never losing contacting for more than a split second. Santana prepared the batter for her infamous strawberry waffles as Brittany hugged her lightly from the back with her chin resting on Santana's shoulder. Brittany's hands mindlessly drew shapes into Santana's stomach, felling Santana's breathing hitch every time she ran her fingertips over hipbones.
"You know, I'll never finish making us dinner if you keep distracting me," Santana feigned annoyance.
"It's almost 5 o'clock and you insist on breakfast food. I could afford to distract you for a few hours until it's really time for breakfast." Brittany turned Santana around so that their bodies were flushed together against the counter. She playfully nibbled along Santana's jawline, the warmth of her lips and mouth driving the brunette wild. Brittany brushed the tip of her nose against Santana's earlobe before taking it into her mouth. Santana shivered. When Brittany pulled away with a wet smack she whispered, "I could just eat you up," her lips curling up into a smile.
Santana's stomach grumbled; she buried her face into Brittany's neck with a chuckle.
"..or we can hurry up and make these waffles," Brittany sighed before placing a quick kiss to Santana's forehead.
"There's always dessert." Santana dipped her finger into the batter and playfully smeared it along Brittany's bottom lip. Just as quickly she ran her tongue along the batter before bringing them into a slow sensuous kiss. She smirked as she felt Brittany's heart start to race.
"Delicious as always Miss Lopez," Brittany playfully smacked Santana's butt as she placed the dishes into the sink to soak.
"Anytime babe." Santana laced her fingers with Brittany's and made her way to the living room. "I'm full. Come lay with me?"
Brittany tossed away the decor pillows and pulled Santana down along her as she laid on the couch. With Brittany's arms wrapped snuggly around Santana, Santana felt like all was right in the world again. They fell into each others arms like no time had passed, a perfect fit. They spent hours catching up on the things they've missed. Santana was amazed to hear about Brittany's accomplishments in school. She was doing well in the mandatory academic classes but was making a name for herself as a talented dancer. They talked about how Quinn was the most amazing friend ever and how members of the glee club kept in touch despite their busy schedules. Santana couldn't help but feel a tug at her heart whenever Brittany spoke about new people she's met in the dance community and how she absolutely loved the chaos of LA. As the sun began to set, their eyes grew heavy.
"It feels so good to be in your arms again," Santana whispered.
"I love having you in my arms." Brittany responded sleepily.
"It's almost Christmas, your favorite time of the year." Santana tilted her head up. From the corner of her eyes she could see sleep start to overcome Brittany.
"Brit.. What do you want for Christmas?" Santana felt herself blush as she saw a smile form on Brittany's face, her eyes closed, her breathing slow and deep.
"I've already got her."
Brittany spent so many nights wishing for Santana. She didn't need anything else.
Courtney and Maribel made their way to the front door. It was just past 9pm and they were both spent after a days worth of emotional conversation and planning. They noticed that the house was dark, there were no lights on. Courtney quietly opened the door and switched on the hallway light. Both mothers couldn't help but smile when they saw their daughters entangled in each others arms on the couch.
"Even in her sleep, this is the happiest I've seen Santana in a long time," Maribel confessed.
"In a world filled with so much hate, seeing them together warms my heart. They're so lucky to have each other. Coffee?" Courtney motioned Maribel to the kitchen.
Brittany blinked her eyes open hearing faint voices coming from the kitchen. She looked down towards Santana who had turned around in her sleep, her face nuzzled against her bosom. This is the best way to wake up she thought to herself.
"Babe, I think our moms are here." Brittany rubbed circles into Santana's back.
Santana groaned, wrapping her arms tighter arounds Brittany's waist. She tilted her face towards Brittany, her eyes closed and her lips puckered, waiting for a kiss.
Brittany chuckled before placing her lips against Santana's. "You're too darn cute for your own good."
"Unnnnh. Looo ooooo." Santana mumble in her I just woke up mutters Brittany learned to understand over the years.
"I love you too."
"Brit, honey, are you two awake?" Courtney's voice echoed from the adjacent room.
"Almost.. Coming mom," Brittany called back. She coaxed Santana to wake completely, placing a gentle kiss to her cheek before whispering in a deeper voice, "and you'll be coming later."
Brittany led Santana into the kitchen with their fingers laced together.
Maribel and Courtney stood to received hugs from their daughters exchanging I love yous and it's good to see yous. They settled themselves at the table, Brittany and Santana's chairs pushed together so their hips were comfortably touching.
"It's precious… seeing you two together," Maribel said with an infectious smile.
Santana placed her hand on Brittany's thigh and gave a light squeeze. Not to long after Brittany placed her hand over Santana's.
"Santana, your mom and I have talked. Nothing is set in stone yet but we want you to be okay with the arrangements.." Courtney began.
They first discussed living arrangements. Maribel and Santana were offered to stay at the Pierce's residence. Maribel was given the guest room and Santana was more than welcomed to stay in Brittany's. Earlier that day, Courtney was able to get in contact with an old friend; she set Maribel up with a receptionist job at a local travel agency.
Santana was overwhelmed with gratitude. At the same time she felt guilt and shame. How on earth could she ever repay Courtney for this?
"Mrs. Pierce.. thank you."
"Honey, there was no question that I would ask you and your mom to stay here. But why the long face?"
"I don't know. How can I ever repay you for all this? I.. I don't have any money or a job. I don't feel right being a freeloader."
"Santana, I've always seen you as a daughter. Your mom and I will work out the schematics. We want the both of you to follow your dreams, wherever they may lead you." Courtney looked to Maribel and Santana, her eyes genuine and reassuring.
"But.."
"No buts. You're both safe here. You're welcomed here. There's no reason to feel in debt."
Santana knew that she couldn't solve things overnight. There was school to think about. Decisions to make. She promised herself that no matter what, Brittany would not make any changes to her life. Her mind was filled with endless thoughts. Even though she felt home she still felt lost. Her life was so far from where she had envisioned it to be six months ago.
Brittany gave Santana's thigh a light squeeze. "Santana, are you okay?"
"Yeah," Santana forced a soft smile, "I'm just a little tired still."
"Mom, mind if we order pizza tonight? I'm gonna take Santana upstairs."
"Sure honey. We can call and whenever you're ready it'll be here, just come downstairs."
Courtney stood and made her way towards Brittany and Santana as they started to scoot their chairs backwards. As soon as they were on their feet Courtney wrapped her arms around them. It was a hug that said so much without any words being exchanged.
"Thanks agains Mrs. P, for everything." Santana made her way towards her mother with outstretched arms. She melted into Maribel's arms trying her best to suppress the urge to breakdown again.
Maribel welcomed Santana's deep embrace. Now more than ever their relationship was solid. "Shh.. it's going to be okay. We're okay now. I promise you things will be so much better. I love you sweetheart."
"Thank you mami, te amo."
Brittany quietly closed the door. On second thought she locked the door behind her before walking towards Santana who was sitting on the edge of her bed. She took two steps and noticed the hesitation in Santana's eyes.
"San.. what's on your mind?"
"I'm so happy. The happiest I've been in months. I've always imagined us living together after high school. But you're in LA and I'm.. well.. I'm here. I don't know what I'm going to do for school. I can't follow you to LA.. you have a life there, a life without me."
"San.. we'll figure this out together. Now that I have you back, I won't ever let you go without a fight. I was barely getting by, floating around, but the thought of us being together kept me grounded. No one can ever make me feel the way you do.. it's so simple to me because with you I'm complete."
"I don't want to let you down or hold you back Brit."
"You won't. You're my motivation. Somewhere down the road I still see us being happy. I want you to be proud of me, proud of us."
"You're perfect." Santana moved from the bed and met Brittany in the middle of the room. Brittany placed her hands on Santana's hips.
"Do you know why I love ducks so much?" Brittany asked with a broad smile.
"Why?" Santana looked confused.
"Because you're a duck."
"A duck?" Santana chuckled.
"You've spent your whole life trying to please others and to be feared at the same time. People think you're mean but I know you. I know you enough to know that you have so much love to give.. especially to me. I see you Santana, every part of you even though you try to hide. So yes, you're a duck. You're smooth gliding across the water beautifully, so majestic, but underneath the water your little feet are paddling frantically."
"So.. I'm a duck?" Santana grinned seeing the thoughtfulness behind Brittany's words.
Brittany nodded without doubt. "My duck, the loveliest one in the whole universe."
If you've experienced the sensation of walking on clouds you'd know exactly what Brittany was feeling. She was so happy it was making her dizzy. She kept her hands on Santana's waist as the brunette's hands grazed every part of Brittany's body within reach. Her fingertips sent jolting waves of electricity through her body. She felt her knees slowly giving way. Santana's fingers ran through Brittany's silky hair, along her strong but soft arms, the dip just below the shoulders, the curve at the small of her back. When Santana placed her hand over Brittany's chest, she felt the hammering of her heart bounding in sync with her own. When Brittany's eyes met Santana's darkened ones, she read the silent plea that sung into her soul, make love to me, Brittany.
Brittany closed her eyes wondering how on earth she deserve Santana's love. She lazily drew shapes onto Santana's hips where her hands were still rested. Her fingertips ventured up, grazing Santana's sides and leaving trails of goosebumps in her path. Santana's breathing hitched, "please, Britt", before she crashed their lips together.
As their kiss deepened Brittany slowly guided them towards the bed, their clothing carelessly discarded on the floor, leaving them both in their underwear. When Santana's calfs hit the edge of the bed they stood at each other's mercy, their bodies igniting on fire. Both girls took a moment to admire each other's every curve, every scar, every dip and valley.
When Brittany's eyes finished devouring every inch of Santana's caramel skin she gently pushed Santana's onto the bed. She crawled up the length of Santana's body until she was face to face with the brunette.
"Hey." Brittany's eyes were darkened with admiration.
"Hi." Santana felt her face glow red.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I don't want to hurt you."
Santana timidly nodded. "I'd tell you."
Brittany lowered herself so that she was leaning off to Santana's side, her legs straddling one of Santana's thighs. She peppered kisses along Santana's face, slowly making her way to the soft skin of Santana's neck. Her breathing became ragged, taking in the sweet and salty taste of Santana's skin. As Brittany playfully used her teeth to lower Santana's bra strap, Santana pawed at Brittany's back. Dragging her nails up and down Brittany's spine, no doubt leaving a faint red trail in her path. Brittany gasped at the sensation and shivered.
After month's void of intimate contact every touch was heightened. As Santana arched her back to reach Brittany's lips, Brittany skillfully unhooked the clasps of Santana's lace bra. Peeling the bra from Santana made her heart race as her eyes drunk in every curve of Santana's breast. She slowly lowered her face, her nose playfully circling and bumping Santana's nipple while she took a deep breath in. She basked in the warmth and softness of her mounds.
"Mmmmm." Brittany groaned before taking the nipple into her mouth. The brunette squirmed, enjoying Brittany's moist and warm mouth. Brittany sucked with alternating vigor, feeling the nipple grow impossibly hard. She pulled away with a smack before lavishing Santana's other breast with the same enthusiasm.
"Brittany… please." Brittany rocked her hips forward feeling Santana clench her leg muscles with every contact. The drumming in between Brittany's legs intensified. Reconnecting their lips their kisses grew sloppy, their breathing ragged with passion. Santana pawed at Brittany's bra, unceremoniously tearing it off.
"You're so beautiful," Santana whispered. She palmed Brittany's breast, her perky nipples hardening by her touch.
"I've missed this. Feeling you, San. Loving every inch of your body." Brittany slipped her underwear off. She lowered herself along Santana, her tongue and mouth generously moved over Santana's trembling stomach. As she travelled lower Brittany immersed herself with Santana's scent.
"Should I stop?" Brittany looked towards Santana. The brunette's eyebrows were furrowed, her bottom lips trapped between her teeth.
"No. I want you. Make love to me, Brit." Santana bucked her hips up allowing Brittany to remover her underwear. She slowly parted Santana's legs, admiring the glistening of her core. She subconsciously licked her lips, a small act that Santana caught.
Brittany's heart drummed with excitement. She ran her hands up and down Santana's legs treacherously featherlight, gently squeezing when her hands skimmed the skin dangerously close to Santana's core. She lowered herself, kicking her feet backwards until she felt her knees land on the carpet. Brittany hooked her arms arounds Santana's thighs, pulling the brunette towards the edge of the bed and placing her legs behind her shoulders. Without hesitation she dove into Santana's folds, her tongue lapping at the sweet juices. The brunette let out stifled whimper, her hands grasping at the bedding at her sides. Brittany ran her hands up the bed until she found Santana's, lacing their fingers together. Santana's body involuntarily rocked as Brittany's kissing intensified with abandon.
Brittany loved going down on Santana. To feel, taste, and smell Santana all around her. She nibbled at Santana's sensitive folds before latching onto her clit. Santana let out another cry.
"San, moms are gonna hear us," Brittany hummed teasingly, "if you can't keep it down I'll have to stop." She looked up to see Santana nodding, her eyes clenched shut.. "Okay, okay.."
Brittany continued her slow ministrations until she felt Santana's legs start to tremble. Santana's body was on fire, the knots in her stomach yearning for release. Santana was at Brittany's mercy, panting roughly.
Brittany felt Santana's walls quiver as her tongue curved in adventurous angles, her nose and chin covered in Santana's juices. She quickly crawled her way up Santana's legs, silencing the brunette with her lips. Without warning she plunged two fingers into Santana, drawing her fingers in and out, in and out.
"Is this okay? I'm not hurting you?"
"Yes.. don't stop, please don't stop.. so so good." Santana lovingly ran her fingers through Brittany's hair, lighting scratching at Brittany's scalp, before pulling her down for a kiss.
Brittany knew the Santana was close. She plunged, twisted, and curved her fingers inside Santana feeling her walls clench around her when she hit the magical spot that solicited erotic moans from Santana, breathy and desperate.
Brittany was the first the break away from the kiss, her chest heaving for air. She felt her face blush when she realized Santana's eyes were trained on her face, her eyes never leaving Brittany's. Even when her body washed over with complete pleasure, as her mouth hung open with slack, even when her body fell limp, or when the after shocks of the orgasm rocked her body, Santana never looked away.
When their breathing slowed, Brittany slowly removed her fingers from Santana. Santana's shivered from both the sensitivity and lack of contact. Santana wrapped her arms around Brittany and pulled her body down until she felt Brittany's weight on top of her, their sweaty skin pressed against each other.
Santana lazily ran her fingertips along Brittany's back. Brittany tilted her head and admired the million emotions that she read from Santana's face... happiness, love, passion, peace, the list can go on.
"I can feel you staring." Santana smiled with her eyes still shut. She felt so peaceful, it was overwhelming and comforting at the same time.
Brittany placed a quick kiss onto Santana's forehead before rolling to her side. She pulled Santana into her so their bodies were flushed.
"I love you.. sleeping beauty." She placed another kiss on Santana's shoulder and snaked her arm around her waist.
"I love you Brittany."
