Thanks for all the reviews :) Oh, and its kinda funny, but I never mentioned where they live, so I'll tell you now… they live in New Jersey

CHAPTER 9

Around midnight, Santana woke up with a painful headache. A groan escaped her lips once she stood up from the sofa she was laying down on. Just a few hours ago, they were drinking and laughing hysterically and now, glancing around the house, they all looked like zombies. Tina was lying down on the other sofa with half of her body; Kurt was sitting down on the floor, his head thrown back with dry drool all over his mouth, and Mercedes, whose chest was flat on the floor, her head resting on her left cheek. Once Santana couldn't spot Brittany anywhere, she drags herself to the kitchen, wondering if the blonde would be there. Seeing that Brittany wasn't in there either, Santana leans back on the wall and sigh heavily.

Her eyes were slightly closed but once she opened them clearly, she saw Brittany outside, on the backyard. Brittany was sitting down on the floor, hugging her legs close. She was quite startled when she felt the door slide open and saw Santana slumping down beside her with a scowl.

"Why are you up so late?" Brittany asks, but regrets it because she should ask the same question herself.

Santana drops her head to the left, her eyes meeting Brittany's blue ones and for some reason, it didn't have that spark it usually had when Santana would make eye contact with Brittany. It showed no emotion at all.

"Why are you here?" Santana repeats the same to Brittany.

Brittany looks up and sighs in content when the many stars were twinkling in the sky. "Just thinking" she replies

"Thinking of what?" Santana asks, her eyes still lost in Brittany's.

The blonde takes a deep breath and closes her eyes shut. "Many things"

Santana nods in return, not wanting to push Brittany any further.

"S-San, have you…? Have you ever regretted anything in your life?" Brittany asks out of the blue, causing Santana to look at her seriously. "There may be things I regret doing, why do you ask Britt?"

Brittany shrugs her shoulders in response, her face still showing no emotion. "I was just wondering" she murmurs, hugging her legs even tighter.

Santana frowns at Brittany's actions, not happy that she saw this side of the blonde. Brittany was always happy, never showing any hint of sadness or anger, but… against the night's sky, she looked empty and it shattered Santana's heart gravely. Feeling the need to do anything to see Brittany's smile again, she reached out for Brittany's hand and clutched it tight, making Brittany glance at their intertwined fingers and Santana's hazel orbs.

"Do, Do you know what I don't regret though, Britt?" she started and Brittany shook her head. "No"

Clearing her throat, Santana showed Brittany a smile she never showed anyone before, not even her parents, a true smile. "I don't ever regret living with you, even though we only stayed for a day, it felt like everlasting joy to me. Like I've always lived here before, that I belong here. I, I don't regret that feeling at all, and… it kind of saddens me that will separate after a year or two" she confesses, earning a giggle and smile from the blonde that made Santana's tummy do flips.

"I don't regret that too" she agrees while resting her head on Santana's shoulder, daring to not let go of her warm hand.

"That's good to hear"

"Let's have a great time before we separate okay?" Brittany mutters as she was about to sleep.

"Of course, Britt. Of course" Santana yawns, as sleep got to her too.

As the stars twinkle brightly in the sky, both Brittany and Santana sleep soundly, never wanting to be apart much more.

….

OCTOBER (SANTANA's POV)

It's been nearly a month since I've lived in the Pierce residence and we still haven't heard from hobbit or Q. This made Brittany very worried the couple of days, ranting non-stop about them, she even considered going to Hawaii which I declined of course. Unbeknown to Brittany, I'm much more worried about the issue than herself, but I only show it at night when I cant sleep.

We are currently eating breakfast when Brittany asked me the same question again.

"Can we go to Hawaii?"

I set my mug of coffee down on the table and sighed. Brittany knew the answer, but I guess she's just trying her luck.

"Britt… we can't go, you know that" I replied; now awaiting her signature pout hat would be hard to conquer. I won't lie, this past month I've had a lot of trouble declining Brittany's absurd offer just because of that 'pout'.

Right on cue, Brittany frowns gravely at me but doesn't say anything else. She rotates her head to Kazey, who was gulping down a glass of milk.

"Kay, go get your bag for school" Brittany says sweetly as Kazey politely follows, jumping out of her seat with a nod. As Kazey slams her bedroom door shut, I turn my attention back to Brittany, whose face was still pouting. I had made her upset, I know that, but what can I do? I can't just simply agree to it.

"How's your musical dance, Brittany?" I ask so the subject would be changed, which worked because she was practically jumping up and down on her chair, a big smile on her face.

"Oh my gosh, San! It's incredible!" Brittany beamed while clasping her hands together. "I'm actually finishing it up today" she added.

"That's really great Britt" I respond, very glad to see her smile again.

"Yup, so what about you, San? How's work?" she asks humbly.

I bit my lip as Brittany questioned me that because first and for most, my work is very much troubling. There's always drama everywhere, and you have to cope with your client's miseries. My reaction is completely opposite from Brittany's, whose job was entertaining and fun. What I regret the most about being a lawyer, is the client I'm working with right now, because he is a total lunatic.

"It's doing fine, Britt."I lied

"Is being a lawyer fun?" she asks with her head slightly tilted to the side.

"Sure. When you see people fear you"

"People are scared of you, San?"

"I guess you can say that" I hum, taking another sip of coffee.

"But I don't get it, you're the sweetest person I know" she mutters, making me blush furiously.

I can feel my cheeks burning as my head started to spin. No one in the whole world has ever called me sweet, besides my parents and it felt good to hear it. I wanted to return the compliment, that she was the sweetest and kindest person on earth, not me.

"T-Thank you Britt, you're very sweet and kind too" I shot back with a smirk.

"No problem, so what case are you working on?"

I immediately groan as the image of my client started flashing through my head. "I don't even want to talk about it"

"Come on! Tell me!" she squeals and I couldn't help but curl my lips into a smile. Brittany is the most adorable person in the whole wide universe.

"You might get confused but…" I glance up to see Brittany's eye brows furrowed making me chuckle. "Okay, my client…well he was caught giving drugs to drunken teenagers (age: 19, they are allowed to drink) one night, but my client says he accidentally gave them poisoned drugs rather than aspirin, The police thought he was trying to kill them. He tried to explain that it was a mistake, but the police asked why he had poison and didn't have any aspirin since they looked through his stuff" I huffed out.

Brittany closes her eyes slowly, trying to process what I just said and after a few seconds, she looks up to me with a concerned face. "Are you helping a man who kills people, San? I don't think that's a good thing…"

"What? No! No! Britt! I'm trying to help my client prove to the judges that he wasn't giving out drugs on purpose, he's innocent, well… that's what he said to me anyways" I quickly deny, erasing all negative thoughts from Brittany's mind.

Kazey returns shortly, her bag strapped to her back. She walks to Brittany's side and smiles. "I'm ready!" she announces.

Brittany gets up from her seat and pats Kazey's head affectionately. "Go wait for me in the car, alright?" she commands and before Kazey walks out of the house, she attacks me with a bone-crushing hug.

"See you later, Auntie San" she exclaims

"Same to you too, Kaze" I reply, patting her head as well.

Kazey lets go of my leg and darts out of the front door, leaving me and Brittany alone as my heart keeps beating non-stop again.

"Hey San, is it okay if you fix the table and dishes?" she asks shyly, her face turning light pink.

"Of course Britt, I live here too so I at least have to do something right?"

"Thanks. I'll see you later then" she says, waving goodbye to me.

XoXoXo

As I enter my car, my phone starts to ring. I pluck it out and frown once I saw who the caller was.

"Santana!" he yelled as I accepted his call.

"And what do I owe the pleasure, Puckerman"

"Oh come on, Santana don't play with me! Where are you? I need you now!"

"I'm on my way, just chill okay?"

"CHILL? I'm in jail, Santana! I can't just chill"

"Oh come on, you've been on probation when you were in high school, what's the difference?"

Noah Puckerman, a name I didn't ever want to hear again was now my latest client. He and I went to the same high school in Ohio; we never really talked much, only in Biology since he was my partner. Quinn and I never wanted to meet him because we thought he was disgusting and foul. Just a few days ago, I got his call saying he needed a lawyer and that I was the only one he knew. I was about to decline because Puckerman told me he didn't have any money to pay but I gave in. I, Santana Lopez owe him something from high school and that is the only reason why I accepted it.

"Just go here already; I thought you were the best lawyer Lopez, my mistake"

"Watch it, Puckerman. I am the best, actually, you could be out right now and be free if you told me the truth of what happened to you" I shot back and even though I can't see that jack ass, I know he was taken aback by my statement.

"W-What are you talking about, Lopez? I already told you my story! And that's that"

"I'm not a nut brain like you! What kind of a fool gives poison to teenagers instead of aspirin? Actually, your whole story is messed up! You told me you accidentally gave them poison, what the fuck! Seriously, Puckerman? You told the police you had poison? You could have said you thought it was aspirin, but no… you said it was poison! And you didn't even have aspirin inside your bag! That's bullshit, of course the police sent you to jail. I know you're stupid, but I didn't know you were THAT stupid"

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"Whatever, you're gonna rot there in that jail cell if you don't tell me the truth"

"I am telling the truth"

"Have it your way" I say, shutting down my phone and concentrating on my drive to the police station.

Once I arrived, I quickly go to the information table to ask her if I could visit Puckerman, which she accepted, giving me a pass. A loud beeping sound echoed across the building and a few guards escorted me to him. One of them opened this huge metal door that leads me to Puckerman, who was sitting down, his forehead resting on top of his hands. He looks up as the doors slam shut and gives me a weak smile.

"Why so late, Lopez?" he greeted with a nasty tone, probably fed up living in this jail center.

"I'm not late, just on time. Anyways, today is the last day for me to prove your innocence, so if you seriously don't tell me what happened, I cant help you anymore" I grunted, leaning my body forward so the guards behind the door wouldn't hear me.

"Lope—"

"Truth Puckerman, that's all I want" I cut him off, knowing fully he was just going to lie again and tell me he wasn't lying at all.

He looks deep inside my eyes and I'm glaring at him. He needed to tell me, and he knows that so with one sigh, he starts talking. "I was walking down the alley, just for a walk… I came from my pet shop when I saw this guy walk up to me"

I turn on my tape recorder and listen closely as he begins to confess. "He… pointed to some people who were laughing and swaying, you know being drunk… and told me they were his friends and they were gonna need aspirin in the morning. He told me he was in a hurry to get home, so he asked me If I could give it to them instead…"

I nod, now this makes sense rather than the made-up story he told me that doesn't even explain anything. He was probably panicking when the police saw him that he said stupid things.

"So, being a cool man I agreed. So I went up to those teenagers or college people and told them that his friend wanted me to give this, so since they were drunk they got it. And all of a sudden, there were police everywhere, it was such a coincidence really, like… like… they were waiting for me to give it to them an—"

"Okay, shut it. That's all I need to know." I said and placed my recorder back inside my bag.

"Wait, what?"

"That's all I need to know. Uhm, that kid… that gave you the poison, what's his name?"

He slumps back to his seat, shaking his head in disapproval. "Didn't ask, but… I know what he looks like"

"That wont work, which alley did you go to?"

"Just go to my pet shop, its called "Pucks and Pets", the alley were it happened is right beside it"

And that's when it hit me; Puckerman's store has to have a webcam right? All stores have them for security measures. So I gave my old school mate a wide smirk, and once he saw it, he crossed his arms together and smirked as well.

"You're smirking, you're smirking Lopez, does that mean you have it figured out already? Will you send Puckster out of this junk or what?"

"I will, only if you tell me something"

"And what's that something?" He asks curiously, one of his eye brows raised up.

"Do you have security cameras all over your pet shop? You know to see if burglars are trying to come in"

"Yeah, I do have. In and out. Why—Oh shit, HA! I get it" he laughed but slapped himself after. "Why didn't I think of that shit?" he cursed and I answered him for fun.

"Because you're stupid and I'm smart. But, back to the subject, that's good. I just need to get the tape" I murmured as I got up from my seat and started pacing around the room.

"Wait, why didn't you tell the truth in the first place? I could have solved this days ago!" I turned back to him with a scowl.

"Because the truth made me look stupid, I mean… accepting a drug from a stranger and give it to people? That's totally wrong. A kid could do better than me" he spat out.

"You are stupid, Kazey's actually smarter than you" I said, but as soon as those words escaped my lips I close my eyes shut and mentally kicked myself. I take a small peek towards Puckerman who was smirking even more.

"Okay who's Kazey? Is she your girlfriend or something? Or maybe even you're kid?" he laughed hard.

"She's Britt's da—sister. And she's only 6!"

"Wait, wait… who is Bri—"

"Do you want me to help you or not?" I interrupted him. This man cannot be trusted at all.

He put his hands up in defense, his smirk never leaving his face. "Alright alright. I was just asking, Lopez. Chill out. But, since your helping me out here... I can help you. If you need anything at all, just come to me." He winked playfully at me.

This time, it was my turn to laugh mockingly. "You know what? This is the easiest case Ive ever done! I bet a person with Down syndrome can fix this problem" I said, making him do an eye roll.

Puckerman slams both of his fists on the table and glared straight at me. "Can you just deal with this?"

I grab my purse from the seat and walked to the metal door, holding the handle I turn to him and grinned. "This is as easy as stealing a candy from a baby" I teased and left him feeling bad about himself.

Xoxoxo

As I approach "Pucks and Pets" my phone starts to ring again. I'm pretty sure Puckerman is trying to call me so I ignored it. I left my car on the road and stood in front of the store. I looked from left to right to see if anyone was around, I would be lucky if the guy that gave Puckerman the drugs came here. That would be too easy. Once the coast was clear, I enter the shop and glanced around, there were many dogs, cats and birds inside cages that looked very hungry. Of course they're hungry; Puckerman wasn't in here for days.

So trying to be a kind person, I opened some packages that contained animal food and distributed to each one of them. There was this certain cat that amused me though; it was orange with bright blue eyes just like Brittany's. Kazey wanted a cat, I should keep note about this, so thinking this would be the Pierce's future cat, I pat its head gently.

"Alright, back to business" I said and start walking to the front table first. I examined every single object that was scattered around the table, the notebooks, the files, the drawers, just for good measure. Who knows, he might be lying to me again and actually gave those poisonous drugs to those poor teenagers. I was satisfied after checking everything. He didn't have any drugs, beer (which is unbelievable) or anything dangerous, so I guess he was actually telling the truth. But, there was only one more thing I needed to see and that was the video tape of 3 days ago outside this shop.

I saw a room with a sign that said 'FOR PUCKSTER ONLY'. Since it was the only room left, I go inside. The room was filled with monitors everywhere, probably for the security cameras and online pet shopping. I scan through all the monitors and stopped on one with a masking tape attached to its screen saying 'OUTSIDE LEFT'. The right side of this store was a flower shop, so the alley street should be left from here. I sat down on the chair and started viewing some files. Today is October 30, so opening file October 27 would show me what happened.

Once the file opened, I wait patiently for anything to happen. After an hour, the screen viewed a young man maybe at his 20's wearing a black jacket and white pants. His hair is dark brown and wears circular glasses. He's looking around and that caught my attention. I lean forward to get a closer look since the monitor was blurry and now he's pulling something out of his pocket. It's a plastic bag, but I don't know what's inside. He's still looking around and then it happens. I see Puckerman, walking by him until the stranger pokes him in the back. Puckerman's turning around and the guy starts talking.

Puckerman laughs and the man hands him over something. Puckerman is walking away while the other guy runs, disappearing from the camera's view. Then Puckerman's gone too and the video goes into a complete blur.

"That wont do…." I murmur.

It won't do at all. It didn't prove anything at all, except the fact that the guy gave Puckerman something but it doesn't prove the fact it was drugs. It was just a plastic bag that had no writings. I bite my lip so hard that I could taste blood inside my mouth. How can I save Puckerman now? There's no proof at all. Angry with myself, I slam my hands on the keyboard and start cursing. It might be the easiest job ever, but it's a bit hard to prove.

A light starts to shine through my eyes and I look to my left where a monitor starts playing something. Curious, I observed the video with deep concentration. It must have opened when I slammed my hands on the keyboard.

There was still nothing on, nothing's happening but all of a sudden there's this guy coming in view, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. He's wearing a hat that makes me wonder why. It wasn't raining on the video, so why was he wearing a hat?

My question was soon answered as he took off his hat to reveal a bald head. Holy shit, it's Stahn.

Why do I know that? Because on top of his bald head with bold writing were the words "SANTANA LOPEZ RULES". Just a month ago, I wrote that on his head at the airport because he pissed me off, the permanent marker worked well. The only thing is, what in the world was he doing outside a pet shop?

"Stahn, Stahn Stahn… what are you doing there"

That's when my jaw drops; walking towards Stahn was the stranger who gave Puckerman the drugs. He's approaching Stahn, who holds up a piece of paper and pen. The stranger takes it and goes by the wall, he's writing something down. I quickly press the pause button and clicked on the zoom icon. It zooms closer, and after making it a bit clearer I was able to read the piece of paper the stranger was holding.

DANGEROUS DRUGS COMPANY

I, Rubert Santiago has received poison drug 47 from Stahn Press on October 27, 2011. I swear to not tell anyone especially the police that this company exists, if I do, something crucial will happen to me and my family.

ADDRESS:

CONTACT NUMBER:

EMAIL:

SIGNATURE:

I take a moment to process all the information I just saw. Stahn, a police, is working for a company called Dangerous Drugs, which sells drugs that could kill people. Also, the police don't know this company exists, which means…. If I show them this video, not only will I get Stahn put to jail and save Puckerman from his depression, I'll get a raise. I'll be known by many lawyers and celebrities. I'll be a famous lawyer.

Maybe Puckerman's case wasn't so wasted at all, I should thank him later. So I took out my phone and was about to take a picture when I noticed that the one who called me wasn't Puckerman, it was Brittany.

I immediately felt bad for ignoring Brittany's call that I had to call her back. After two rings, she answers.

"Britt! I'm sorry, I was busy that I—"

I stopped talking when I heard a giggle on the phone.

"Britt, are you laughing?" I ask, dumbfounded.

"Mhmm, you ranting is very cute" she replies and I'm happy she can't see me, because my face is burning red right now.

"R-Right.. Anyways, why'd you call?" I asked, feeling my heart beat fast again. I was too caught up with the case that I forgot I was living with Brittany.

"Well, I was wondering what time will you be home"

"And why do wonder that…?"

"Because, tonight's Halloween, silly!"

"But, today's the 30th of October, Britt. Halloween's tomorrow"

"I know, but Kay and I have our own Halloween routine every year and we kind of wanted you to join if you want" she mumbles and I can tell she's playing with her fingers again. She's so adorable.

"You know what Britt, I'd love to join you. What time?" I ask, completely forgetting about my case just like how I forgot about Brittany.

"Tonight! We always watch a horror movie the day before the trick or treating and also bake chocolate cupcakes with orange icing on top for tomorrow"

I wanted to say yes, I really do. But I have a trial today, the last day. I can't just let Puckerman stay in jail for the rest of his life when I already have my proof. I would do anything to join them, but I'm not that selfish… even if I'm falling for Brittany.

"Britt… I'm sorry, I… I have a case later and I cant miss it or else my client's gonna be sent to jail. The police and judge don't want to give me more days because they think he's a murderer. One of the teenagers was the child of the policemen, so he's pretty pissed. I only got today to prove his innocence. Im sorry Britt, you know I would love to come." I apologized

"oh, it's okay San. We'll um… good luck later, I hope you win" she replies with a sad tone. I was going to say something back but she already hung up.

Closing my phone, I slammed my head down on the table and whimpered in pain. I rub my head slowly as I use my other hand to take a picture of the evidence. Looking at the time, I grab my bag and left the shop but with one more glance at the blue-eyed orange cat.

I headed over to the City Hall.

Xoxoxo

"What is your proof? Where is it?" the judge, Brad asked.

I stood up straight and forced a smile on my lips. "Today, My proof is Police Officer, Stahn Press and college student Rubert Santiago" I said as two men enter one by one through the entrance door.

"Let Go of me! I am a police officer! I said let go of me you bastard!" I hear Stahn yell as he struggles away from the guard's grasp.

Brad looks curiously at them. "Your proof is Stahn Press, a loyal officer and Rubert Santiago, a top college student from my brother's college school?" he asks with a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, so you know them? Saves me time to introduce them to you, and yes. They are my proof but I also have another one" I said, walking forward to stand in front of Stahn, giving him a death glare then handing over my phone to Brad with a smile.

"That picture was taken outside Noah Puckerman's pet shop by his security camera. If you think it's a fake, I can also give you a video clip with them meeting up and Mister Rubert Santiago signing that paper"

"What piece of paper?" Stahn growls behind my back. I wanted to kick him so hard; it seems my punishment from last month didn't scare him at all. But knowing he would rot in jail after this, I just gave him a wink.

"You know what that paper is don't worry" I said with a chuckle and look towards Puckerman who's trembling in his seat. Why wouldn't he be scared? If I don't succeed (but I'm pretty sure I will) he's gonna be sentenced to life in jail

Brad clears his throat and stands up, giving my phone back. "Miss Santana Lopez, thank you very much" he says, holding up his hand to signal some guards, who unlocks Puckerman's hand cuffs.

"Excuse me?" Stahn shouted. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT OLD MAN?" he added with a menacing voice.

Brad rotates his head to Stahn then back at me. "You see, Miss Lopez… we already knew that company existed, the only problem is… we don't know who works in it. For three years we've been looking for them, and we thought Mister Noah Puckerman was the guy. But, we went to his apartment and didn't see any drugs at all, so every day we interrogate him to tell us about Dangerous Drugs Company" he said, and I saw Stahn flinch when Brad said the company's name.

"and… he always answered us with a 'no'. We thought he was lying, that he was hiding the truth, but now that we see this, the picture on your phone. You have led us to one of them" he finishes while pointing to a now pale Stahn and Rubert.

"It shocks me really, but I will handle it for now. You and Noah Puckerman may go. He is innocent" he finalizes, while striking his gavel down, which means the trial is done.

Xoxoxo

"Oh my god, Lopez! I love you!" Puckerman exclaimed with both hands on the air, feeling freedom.

"Actually I have to thank you. You actually raised my career, lots of people will be asking us about this. You don't catch a secret poisoning drug company everyday" I said with a weak smile.

"Wait, you mean we're going to be popular?"

I shrug my shoulders in response. "Who Knows?"

Then out of nowhere he's hugging me, almost cutting off my air. "AHH! I Love you dude! If you need anything at all, I'm here okay?"

He lets go and punches me lightly on the arm. I roll my eyes at him as we approach my car.

"Actually, there is something I need from you" I said, thinking of blue eyes and orange fur.

"Anything"

Xoxoxo

I enter the Pierce residence with a bit struggle since I was holding Cupcake in my other hand. Puckerman gave me the orange cat for free, and since I missed the Halloween cupcake baking I thought I'd give the cat as an apology and naming it Cupcake too. Once I enter the house, I notice the kitchen door open and the lights turned on. Curious to why it was on, I slowly walked towards it, Cupcake still in my hands.

I take a deep breath and peek through the door, when something suddenly hit me right on the face. I hear giggles and whispering.

"Heheh, good one mommy!" I hear Kazey say and Brittany giggling again.

I bring my hand up to my face as I remove … cream? They threw cream at my face? That's a classic. I got rid of all the cream with my free hand and look forward to see Brittany and Kazey smiling to each other, another bunch of cream on their hands. Out of habit, I threw my head back as they threw more cream which lands on the floor instead of my face.

"Come on San! Fight back!" Brittany yells out and I smirk playfully.

With the cream on my free hand, I place Cupcake down as she begins to walk inside the kitchen. I hear Kazey gasp and run towards it. Once I heard a thump on the floor, I know she's kneeling down to pet it, so I walk back in the kitchen and threw the cream on Kazey's face, earning a scream from the little girl.

"Ha, thought you could beat me?" I teased.

"San! Over here!" Brittany says not too far away. I rotate my head to the left, only receiving another handful of cream on my face. As I take a deep breath, I shake my head to remove the cream and playfully smirk at Brittany who begins to run away to the living room.

"You're not going anywhere!" I shout, chasing Brittany with all my might.

She jumps over the sofa and I run over to the other side, making her stop abruptly and run away again. I tackled her once I knew I was close enough, and we both fall down on the floor, me on top of her. She giggles non-stop and suddenly, I place my forehead against hers, nuzzling it so that some cream would fall on her face. I don't regret doing it though, even if it was weird to do so because I could feel her breath against my lips, our noses touching and our bodies so close to each other that it felt so good.

I slowly open my eyes, only to meet her blue ones. Our eyes were only an inch apart since my fore head was on hers. We stare at each other and I love the way her eyes shine against the night.

Brittany brings both her arms over my shoulders and smiles brightly at me. She pulls up only a bit, since we were so close already and whispers something to my ears. "Your eyes are really pretty"

I shiver once I felt her breath on my ear, sending chills all over my body. "Y-Yours are prettier" I corrected and she playfully licks off some cream from my ear, making me gulp hard.

"Thanks." She huskily says, resting her head back on the floor. "Wanna get up from me?" she asks and I quickly got up, reaching my hand out to her.

Kazey comes rushing by our side as I pull Brittany up, Cupcake on her arms. "What's her name, Auntie San?" she giggles, playing with Cupcake's paws.

I bend down and gave Kazey a coy smile. "Cupcake. Her name is Cupcake, since I missed you and Britt's Halloween routine I thought that maybe giving you an orange cat would make you forgive me" I explain, rubbing Cupcake's head as well.

"Happy Halloween, Kaze… Britt" I add, giving them both a smile.

"Is it mine, Auntie San?"

"That's right, Kaze. She's yours to keep" I agreed, earning a big hug from Kazey who lets go of Cupcake and lands perfectly on the floor.

"Thanks so much Auntie San!" she said with a very happy tone.

I let go of Kazey and Brittany walks beside me, clutching a dvd case close to her chest. "Now that San's here, Let's watch that horror movie!"

Kazey beams once Brittany said that, and quickly runs to the sofa with Cupcake. I turn to Brittany with a curious expression.

"Is Kazey going to watch a horror movie…? She's just 6 right?" I ask.

Brittany looks down and fidgets with her fingers shyly. "Well, uhmm… actually… Kazey's isn't afraid of watching them… I am" she confesses.

I look down at her hands then back up to her face that had some cream. I walk closer to Brittany, placing my hand to her cheek which makes her look up to me.

"It's okay, I'm pretty scared of horror movies too, I'll comfort you alright? Let's just wash our faces first okay?" I lied. I'm not afraid of horror movies, but I wanted Brittany to feel safe.

Okay, maybe watching a horror movie wasn't such a great idea at all. Why? Because throughout the whole movie I received Brittany's bone crushing hugs, when I mummy comes out of nowhere, she jumps on top of me. Not that I didn't mind it, no… I didn't mind it all, it's the contact that bothers me. Every time she tackles me, my chest keeps pounding because she's so close to me. Brittany would hold my hands too, and that made my tummy do flips.

I turned my head around to ask Kazey for some popcorn when Brittany screams again, turning her body to me but instead of hugging, she accidentally crashes her lips to mine. We stay there for few seconds, our lips touching each others, her eyes looking deep into mine.

I shouldn't have turned my head to Kazey, because if I didn't, I'd rather be hugged than kissed.

My heart was pounding so fast, that I thought it was going to explode. She doesn't move either, but I'm turning into a lobster, seriously, my cheeks are so damn flushed and red.

So I do the most embarrassing thing ever, and I don't even know why… but I fainted.
