Author's Note: I am soooooo verrryyyyy sorrryyyyy for this late update. The weeks have been crazy, but I want to thank all those who are reading this story and either tagging it as a favorite story or commenting. Your comments mean the world to me : ). Anyway I was watching the new glee episode and my writer's block began disappearing a little, however its still unfortunately there. Here's a new chapter ENJOY : )
I need to explain one thing. I have written a little thing about two of MY characters Emily and Courtney. There relationship is going to play a small part in this. I actually created Courtney for Quinn, but I know how many people are huge Rachel/Quinn fans and thought it was best not to mess with Quinn in this lol. Now Enjoy : )
Chapter Nine
Santana's POV
Brittany pulls the car over and I attack her with a passionate kiss. When we break apart I see a smile plastered on her face.
"Good morning beautiful," I say smiling back.
"Now that's a better greeting," she says and I laugh a little.
"You know me and mornings, they don't always agree. However, the moment I saw you things got a hell of a lot better," I say.
She laughs loudly. "Wow when did you become a sap?"
"I don't know. You just bring it out in me I guess," I say. She smiles at my reasoning. After one last kiss, Brittany gets back on the road and we're at practice before I know it. I have a smile from ear to ear as we approach the field, but once I see the other girls I quickly put on my co-Captain bitch face. I can't show weakness to rule this team. You know that saying, a team is only as strong as it's weakest link. Well I am not weak and therefore the team shouldn't be weak. Plus when Brittany and I do come out publicly it'll make things a lot easier when they fear that I'll kick their asses if they say a word about it.
Brittany and I walk up to Quinn to begin our morning stretches. We're kind of away from the other girls and Quinn has a huge smile on her face. The face is kind of creepy, like she knows something we don't.
"Hey Quinn," Brittany greets her.
"Hey Q," I say.
"Hey Santana, hey Brittany. So what happened to you guys at the party? I didn't see you two after Brittany dragged your ass outside," Quinn asks, but I think she already knows.
"Oh yeah, how was Courtney? I haven't talked to her yet," Brittany asks and I can't help, but feel a little anger arise even though I know she's trying to change the subject for me.
"She's fine and nice try at attempting to change the subject. But let's get back to the real question, what happened between you two?" Quinn asks.
Before I can control it, which seems to be happening a lot lately, words begin spewing from my mouth. "We're together."
Brittany and Quinn both look at me with wide eyes. Brittany's expression changed from surprise to happiness while Quinn just looked at me.
"What?" Quinn stutters.
"Brittany is my girlfriend," I whisper the last part so the others won't hear.
"And you didn't fucking tell me after it happened?" Quinn acts like she's pissed even though the smile on her face is betraying her.
"We were a little busy," Brittany says.
"Well all I have to say is finally. It's about time you two worked your shit out," Quinn says and hugs us both.
I roll my eyes at her statement while Brittany thanks her. Shortly after our little moment, Coach starts the practice from hell. Regionals are in a month so things are a little worse than usual. When practice finishes we head to the locker rooms and change. Unfortunately, Brittany and I can't have a few moments because practice ran late so we would've been late for class. What really sucks about all this is I don't get to see Brittany until lunch. We only have Spanish together and that's not until after lunch then I go two more classes until glee when I get to see her again.
It's torturous, this day. I mean I'm usually not this needy, but I just want to be near Brittany. I waited so long for her that now all I want to do is be around her now she's mine. I'm picking up my books for my class before lunch when Emily comes to her locker. Ours are beside each other. I'm not gonna lie Emily doesn't look great. It looks like she's barely slept and with our morning practices she looks beaten down, but I know that Cheerios isn't the only reason she's down. It's because of Courtney, which I feel a little bad about. I mean I didn't make it easy for Emily to be with Courtney. I may have, kinda, threatened her saying she couldn't go public with her relationship, but that's not relevant since she did cheat on Courtney, so not my problem.
I grab my books and head to my class. The class right before lunch is always the longest. I try so hard not to look at the clock, but when I do I swear time is moving backwards. This can't be healthy. Finally, the bell rings and I go to lunch. Brittany is already sitting down at the regular Cheerios circular table. I sit down next to her.
"Hi," she says sweetly giving one of those bright smiles.
"Hi," I say. Quinn joins us quickly.
"How is my favorite couple doing today?" Quinn asks in a whisper knowing we want to stay private.
"Jeez Quinn you found out this morning that we're together, are you going to be like this all the time?" I ask sounding slightly annoyed when actually I'm not.
"No. I've just been rooting for you two so much that I'm so happy you're finally together," Quinn explains and I can't blame her.
"That's okay, Q, I understand," Brittany smiles and pats my leg underneath the table.
I smile at her, but her eyes are somewhere else. I follow her gaze and see her looking at Courtney. Immediately, jealousy arises in me and I know Brittany can tell. There, isn't much if anything, that I can get away with from my girl.
"Chill, Santana. I'm just concern for Courtney. I mean look at her she's so…broken," Brittany says trying to find the correct words.
"Yeah she's been like that for a while," Quinn adds.
"Emily really broke her heart. I just feel bad for her because Courtney is the last person on this Earth who deserves something bad happening to her," Brittany says.
"What do you mean Britt?" Quinn asks. Neither of us knew what Brittany is talking about.
"You guys don't know?"
"Know what?" I ask.
"Right after school let out Courtney, her mom, and little brother were in a car accident. Courtney dislocated her shoulder and her mom and brother died," Brittany says and the table falls silent.
"Seriously? That's awful," Quinn says. "And Emily has the nerve to cheat on her."
"Well if Emily didn't want to stay in the relationship she shouldn't have to just because she feels sorry for Courtney," I say. But the second Brittany said what happened to Courtney my stomach began turning. I began feeling nauseous.
See last year, only Brittany, Quinn, Ashley, Courtney's best friend, and me knew that Courtney and Emily were dating. They didn't want to tell the school because they didn't want to be bullied everyday. Honestly, no one would touch Courtney because she's treated like a god, but Emily feared her parents more than anything. Well, being the bitch that I am and not too proud of at the moment, approached Emily when rumors began spreading after Christmas break. The girls on the squad were questioning Emily, and even questioned me because they knew Brittany and I had a thing once. I pretty much told Emily that she needed to start dating football players or popular guys so that the rumors would stop. I never told her to sleep with another guy, but I did tell her that she had to "keep up appearances" if you know what I mean.
"Of course she shouldn't stay in a relationship just because she feels sorry for Courtney," Brittany says, but Quinn is quick to interject. "But Emily really loved her so the cheating doesn't make sense."
"Fine whatever, we shouldn't get involved anyway," I say and the subject is dropped quickly. Both Quinn and Brittany give me confused looks but they drop the subject.
The rest of the day goes by rather slowly. I have my mind set on telling the glee club today about Brittany and my new relationship, but the second I step into the room I chicken out. But I have a plan for tomorrow that I think Brittany will really love. After Cheerios, practice Brittany and I walk to her car.
"Give me your car keys," I more demand than ask.
"Why?" Brittany asks laughing a little.
"I wanna take you somewhere, but it's a surprise."
"I can't San. I have to go home and start homework, it's my mom's new rule. After practice go straight home and start on homework then I can go out and 'play'," Brittany explains using finger quotes for play.
"Oh ok then," I say a little down now.
"Pick me up at seven and take me then," Brittany suggests and a smile appears immediately on my face as I nod my head.
Seven o'clock rolls around and I pick Brittany up. She seems a little anxious, but she'll like this surprise. I drive up some roads to this private area in the mountains. No one knows about this place except my dad because he showed it to me when I was a little kid. It over looks the city a little, but it's such a random place that no one knows about.
"Wow Santana it's beautiful," Brittany says.
"Not as beautiful as you," I reply and she blushes.
"So why did you bring me here?" she asks, which I was hoping she would.
"I kinda want this to be our place. We can't be ourselves at school so I thought we might need a private area for just us," I explain.
Brittany attacks me with her lips, which is amazing. "And you wanted a place to make out with me, right?"
I laugh because she's somewhat right. I do like to get my mack on. I take Brittany home after an hour. The next morning is just like the previous morning. Brittany picks me up for practice, I make her pull the car over for a morning kiss, and then we are off to practice. Except as the day goes on I get more and more nervous. My surprise for Brittany is a song, one of my favorites. We finally enter glee and I'm shaking a little. My hands are clammy and I think a bead of sweat ran down my face. Brittany can tell something's up, but I do my best to cover.
"Good day class. Now we have a special performance today from Santana, who asked earlier if she could sing a solo today," Mr. Shue addresses the class.
Everyone turns to me, but I stand before the class in my same confident manner. "Well this song is for Brittany. We are officially a couple, but don't want to come out to the school, but we wanted everyone in glee to know. We want everyone to respect our decision to stay private and if any of you say a word I will beat your ass." I give my best Santana death stare and I'm sure the point got across clearly. When I said 'officially a couple' I saw a few smiles from Mercedes, Tina, Mike, and Rachel. Puck has a huge grin, which doesn't surprise me, and Artie looks pissed. Mission accomplished. That's right Artie she's mine, what now bitch.
"This is for you babe," I say to Brittany, who is a little stunned that I actually went through with it, with a wink.
Lost, In the day, In a way
Its the same as the one before this
and i wish, I could say
that its all black and white
But its gray, Its the same, its the same
And i'm so tired but you are what im comin home to
Oh im thinkin' 'bout red wine, birds and takin' it easy
and i got you in my arms, Takin' a break from crazy
I lock eyes with Brittany while I sing to make sure she's hearing the words I'm singing. Every word is for her and I mean it.
And I'll say hey
You'll say baby, Hows your day
I'll say crazy
But its all gonna be alright
You'll kiss my smile
I'll pull you closer
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya
But its all gonna be alright, Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
And you are there
On my heart, at the start
of my my every morning
and i cant deny, by the end of the day
that im runnin' on empty
But you make it full, Steal my breathe
Your so unpredictable,
Thats what i'm comin home to
Oh i'm dreamin bout romance , slow dancin with you
[ From: . ]
When i got you in my arms, Then i don't care what we do
And I'll say hey
You'll say baby, Hows your day
I'll say crazy
But its all gonna be alright
You'll kiss my smile
I'll pull you closer
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya
But its all gonna be alright, Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight
Cause' everyday is just the in between
the hours separating you from me
i know you'll be waiting, I know you'll be waiting
And I'll say hey
You'll say baby, Hows your day
I'll say crazy
But its all gonna be alright
You'll kiss my smile
I'll pull you closer
Spend awhile just gettin' to know ya
But its all gonna be alright, Loving you tonight
Loving you tonight, Loving you tonight,
Loving you tonight, Loving you tonight.
The glee members begin clapping. I take my seat next to Brittany and she grabs my hand lacing our fingers. She leans over and whispers 'I love you' into my ear and I smile loving at her. After glee is over Brittany pulls us back. She kisses me deeply conveying all her emotions in that one kiss.
"That song was beautiful. Thank you," Brittany says.
"I love you babe," I say as I rest my forehead on hers.
"I love you, too," she replies.
Please R&R it's most appreciative : )
