A/N- I am terribly sorry for the late update, my laptop has gone bonkers, so I am only going to be able to update once a week now, but I will try to do it more often! Also the Brittana/HeYa kiss FINALLY HAPPENED! Your argument is invalid! ;) x
Chapter 8
As the weeks went on by, Quinn's frustration was growing at the rapid development of Santana and Brittany's friendship. If they weren't joint at the hip during cheerio's and glee, then they would be off out watching a film or eating at Breadsticks. Quinn could kind of see why her sister spent all her time with Santana as she didn't really have any other friends. But Quinn was desperate to build some sort of barrier into their friendship so decided it was time for a new face in her sister's life. Maybe this would stop them from hanging out all the time.
"No, no way, I don't think so".
"Santanaaa please, it's going to be so much fun".
"Okay I'll think about it..the answer is still no".
"Gosh, you act all hard, but really, you're just a wimp". Brittany teased, knowing this would boil up her friend's emotions.
"Screw you B, it don't make me wimp, I just..."
"Are you scared, I'll be there to hold you, I swear''.
Santana could feel her insides clogging up at the thought of the blonde girl holding and touching her. It made her feel all queasy.
"Okay fine, but swear to god if I end up with a bruise or two..."
"San, you'll be fine, just you wait and see how fun it's going to be ice-skating with me, it's going to be epic...now come on, let's go before Mr Schuester asks why we're late". Both girls left the bathroom oblivious that Quinn was eavesdropping from one of the cubicles. She quickly took out her phone and dialled a number...
"About that favour, yeah I need you to act on it...cool; well you know what to do".
...
In the choir room Mr Schuester posed the question as to what he felt was everyone's biggest strength. He felt this exercise could help boost everyone's confidence. But some obviously decided to not take it so seriously.
"Well for me personally, my strength is my voice...it keeps me going and helps me to release emotions that sometimes I don't even realise that I'm holding in". Rachel the first to explain.
"I'm not sure, I have too many to name". A cocky Mercedes was the next to speak.
"My kindness" Kurt answers.
"I'm Asian, could that be a strength...well I think it is".
"Yeah what she just said I agree" Mike motions his hands towards Tina.
"Okay, great answers so far...I think...what about you guys down here?" Mr Schuester asks.
"My strength is this beautiful woman here Quinn". To which the room all barf making gagging noises towards Puck.
"For me it's got to be that I look like the Biebster, the amount of chicks after me, it's like heaven". Sam hi 5's Puck feeling overwhelmed over his comparison with one Justin Bieber.
"The sheer force of pain I inflict on everyone". Lauren chimes in.
"My mum" Finn proudly says.
"Tina used to be my strength, now I'm not so sure". Artie turns to look at her, still feeling bitter over their break up.
Santana before speaking quickly glanced at Brittany not knowing whether she really had a strength...Was the blonde my strength, she certainly had the knack to make me show my soft side and even if it was just to her, it was a side I thought I never had.
"I- don't really have any strengths; don't get me wrong though, I mean I'm still a flawless bitch". Santana said with much arrogance which resulted in everyone glaring at her, not Brittany though and that's all that mattered.
"And last but not least, I think I speak for both myself and Britt when I say that we are each other's strength". Quinn got up to hug her sister whilst turning her head round to see the jealousy plastered over the Latina's face. Ha-ha beat that you bitch. Quinn thought as she made her way back to her seat.
After an hour of singing and dancing, Mr Schuester dismisses the class. Santana and Brittany were looking forward to their ice-skating trip and even though the latter would much rather prefer getting drunk or partying, she had to admit she was excited for the evening they had planned together.
Before they could head out Sam runs up behind Brittany stopping the blonde in her tracks. "Hey Brittany, was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight, you know as a..."
"A date"
"Yeah, I mean if you don't want to..."
"No, I'd love to but I've made plans with San and..."
"Oh well let me come with, I know three's a crowd and what have you but I'd really like to spend some time with you''.
Brittany blushes, looking down at her feet oblivious to the disappointed face that Santana was masking.
"O-okay but I'll have to ask Quinn..."
"Ask me what?"
Oh well that's just fucking great, bet she was hearing out the whole conversation just so she could know exactly when to step in...Santana's brain was going into overtime trying to function all these thoughts about Quinn.
"Oh hey Quinn, Sam asked me out and like I know how much you hate..."
"Britt, I thought I said you're allowed to make your own decisions now, so if it's what you want, go for it''. Once again both Quinn and Santana locked in a staring battle; it was close to boiling point between the pair.
"Oh okay then...Yaaaay, so it's a date then Sam, and Quinn, you and Puck should totally come too, it's going to be so much fun". Brittany squealed anticipating for her sister's answer. She soon felt a tug on her arm and realized that Santana was dragging her out the room.
"What the fuck B, I didn't even want to go in the first place, but now there is now way that I'm going if you're hell-bent on inviting everyone''.
"Oh come on San, it'll be fun".
"Will you stop saying fun...and what exactly do I do when you and that slut sister of yours shack up to Sam and Puck".
"I don't know, why don't you bring someone along then".
Santana wanted to say that tonight was supposed to be just the two of them but they had spent the last 3 weeks doing everything together so maybe a little break away from each other could help them, well Santana anyway.
"No it's fine B, you go enjoy yourself, I've actually got a lot of work to do, but listen I want all the details tomorrow". Santana nudged Brittany to make her comment sound genuine.
"No, maybe I should cancel, I don't like the..."
"B, go okay, but I would like to know one thing though''.
"Yeah, go on".
"You and Sam, bit sudden isn't it, how he just wants to go out with you?"
"Actually, he's been flirting with me for a few weeks now, and I guess he finally had the courage to ask me out, he's sweet I like him".
Santana could see joy in her friend's face but something didn't quite make sense. She looked confused as well. Ignoring that, she went on to say, "Well exactly you like him, so that's why you're going with him tonight, text me when you get home, okay?"
"Definitely...Brittany pulls her in for a hug, "And Santana, thanks for being so understanding, I am so going to make it up to you".
"Yeah you better" Santana smiled and walked away. Brittany ran back to Quinn and Sam letting them know that Santana couldn't come.
"Why, what's up?" Quinn asked.
"I don't know, think she would've felt left out since she doesn't really have a date". Brittany replied innocently, she was really starting to feel guilty at abandoning her friend.
"Well, never mind, maybe next time huh, now come on, we got some skating to do". Quinn put her arm around Brittany, with Puck and Sam following behind.
...
After much debate, the foursome decided to go bowling instead after Puck claimed that he had a phobia of ice. He didn't really, turns out he too was like Santana and was afraid of falling down. They finished the night eating at a restaurant and much to Quinn's surprise, Brittany and Sam seemed to be getting on really well. She wanted nothing more than for Sam to just hang out with her so it would stop her from seeing Santana but if they were going to fall for each other, things could become messy. But Quinn assumed wrong. Little did she know that her sister was texting Santana whilst on her ''date' with Sam.
Are you okay (Brittany)
Yeah I'm fine, are you at home? (Santana)
Nope, we're still at the restaurant, should be going in a bit (Brittany)
Oh, did you have fun tonight then? (Santana)
It was okay, we didn't go skating, went bowling instead (Brittany)
It was nice, Sam is a decent guy, think I like him but... (Brittany)
Okay brace yourself, hurry up and text her back... But what? (Santana)
Oh crap, we're leaving now, catch you later (Brittany)
Oh fuck that, how convenient that they had to leave now, ahh fuck, what did she mean by But... Santana started scratching her head at all the possibilities, does B like me? Or is she just feeling guilty for leaving me out tonight? Definitely has to be the second one.
"So Sam hey... what did you think of him"
"Yeah he's okay...Brittany replied staring up at the ceiling from her bed, "but nothing to really say now, maybe when we go out on our next date we..."
Quinn jumps up from her bed, "you mean there's another date?''
"Well yeah I think so, we exchanged numbers as well''.
Quinn this time rushed to Brittany's side giving her a crushing hug. "So does this mean that you'll be spending a lot of time together''.
Brittany just laughed, "Maybe and who knows if I'm lucky, I might even get some, you know..."
Both sisters laughed out loud in unison, Quinn feeling even more satisfied that her plan to bring Sam into her sister's life was paying dividends already.
...
Over the coming days, Santana found herself becoming very distant from her friend. During cheerio's, Brittany would be with her sister and at glee practice, she was canoodling with Sam. The intimate touches, the kisses, it affected her. I mean yeah, Brittany was her friend and she should be happy for them but it's always hard trying to be happy for someone that you really like. And it didn't help that Brittany didn't bother to make time for her anymore.
Quinn on the other hand couldn't be any more happier. Normally she hated any sort of interaction between a guy and her sister but for some reason, she melted into Sam's personality and the way he treated Brittany, well she had to admit, it was adorable. Having said that, she didn't really care whether their relationship would actually work out in the long run, because for now, all that mattered was Santana being out of the picture.
"Hey sis, what you doing tonight''
"Out with Puck, all night thing, why?"
"No reason, was wondering if you wanted to do something''.
"It's Friday night Britt, what's Sam doing?''
"Something about taking care of his brother and sister, don't remember, I wasn't really listening".
"You can always join me and Puck..."
"No no it's fine, thanks for asking though". Brittany smiled to which Quinn mirrored.
When Quinn left the house, Brittany found herself flicking through the TV channels; nothing interesting seemed to be on. It was Friday night and she wanted to be out having fun. Stupid Sam. She pulled out her phone and dialled a number.
"Hey can I come over?''
About 20 minutes or so later, Brittany was at Santana's house. The Latina welcomed her in and took her straight to the room. "Wow, you do realize I haven't been here since the night we..."
"Yeah, I know B, I really don't need any reminding". Santana replied with a frown that Brittany rarely ever saw on the girl.
Brittany walked over towards Santana, hand in hand, "Look, I don't want you feeling bad about that night anymore, you're my friend and believe me S, you're forgiven...I know what you did was bad, but all I know is that you've won all my respect and love back".
"Really, because you've been so distant..."
Brittany cut in before she could say anymore, "Yeah I have been, I'll admit that I haven't been a good friend, but I did say I'll make it up to you so how about me and you spend the day together tomorrow?"
Santana grinned; she was unable to hide her happiness and gracefully accepted. "Yeah, I'd like that''.
...
Both the girls had settled onto the floor beside Santana's bed watching a movie and the brunette could see that the gap between her and Brittany was a bit too big for her liking so decided to scoot closer. When a really gruesome scene was showing, Brittany flapped her head jumping almost on top of her friend. Santana immediately wrapped her arms around her, telling her it was okay.
They stayed next to each other, body on body until the scene finished out. Santana had to admit that it was fucking wonderful, being able to be this close to her, touching, feeling, and embracing all the goodness that was Brittany. After a little while, the film was back to the good bits but Brittany didn't break the closeness, instead she just took herself off Santana's chest and laid her head against the brunette's shoulder.
Santana couldn't have anticipated the next move though. The movie wasn't even finished when Brittany got up and started blabbering on about that sister of hers again.
"Where you going Brittany, it's not finished".
"Sorry I really got to go; Quinn would kill me if she finds out that I went out".
"Yeah but Br-..."
"Sorry San, I'll text you yeah".
"What about tomorrow''.
"About that, I'll let you know". And Brittany rushed out of the room, out the house, quickly making her way back even though she knew Quinn wouldn't be home for at least another couple hours.
Santana couldn't quite believe what just happened. Brittany was strange, acting very strange around her the last few weeks; she couldn't quite understand what the blonde's problem with her was. I mean it's not as if Brittany could possibly be feeling something towards her, she was straight and had a boyfriend, right?
A/N- review and let me know, I might even go out my way to update soon if I get lots of feedback ;)
BRITTANA/HEYA- I LOVE YOU! Xxx : D
