Santana's POV

It's been two days since I've last seen or spoken to Brittany. It's mostly my fault because she has been calling but I can't deal with her right now, its one thing to mess around while she's single but if she's dating somebody then I just can't do it. The feelings I have for Brittany are stronger than any feelings I've ever had for anyone else but until she gets her shit together I can't let myself get dragged around like a rag doll. That's just not how Santana Lopez gets around. I'm walking through Lopez Entertainment hoping to get to my office before anybody stops me; I'm not really in the mood for small talk. Just as I'm about to make a right down a hall of which my office is located I hear someone call my name.

"Santana! I'm so glad I caught you girl," I hear Mercedes say from behind me. I sigh to myself as I turn to approach her, if this was anybody else I would be annoyed but Mercedes is cool so I'm not tripping.

"What's the problem?" I ask getting straight to the point. I can tell she looks a little nervous which has me apprehensive on what she's been meaning to talk to me about. I hope she's not planning on leaving the company because that would be bad for business.

"Do you mind if we talk in your office, you know there are ears everywhere," she says as she looks around in a weary manner.

"Yea, come on," I say as I lead her to my office. As soon as I step in something feels off. I can't tell what it is but it just feels off. It's that feeling you get when you know somebody has come into your house or room unwanted or unexpected. "So what's up?" I ask Mercedes as I get settled behind my desk.

"Ok, you know how much I love working here but whenever I mention to Shuester about adding my own flavor to the new songs, he shuts me down right away. When you came to me you promised that I would be able to be me and so far that hasn't happened Santana," Mercedes says with a slight attitude. I can't help but sigh because this isn't the first time Will Schuesters name has come up about him being stubborn. Dont get it twisted Shuester is great at what he does, but he's so old school. He's been working with my dad for so long that there's no way I can fire him. I just need to find him some old school artist to work with.

"You're right, that's exactly what I said and that's exactly what's going to happen starting today. Do you have any of the songs you wrote with you?" I ask. I did promise that she'll be able to make her own music but we all know that in the beginning you have to start off as a puppet but Mercedes is way past that. She's been on the top Billboards for the past year and all her concerts have been sold out so I definitely think it's time for her to step into who she really is.

"Of course", she says with a huge smile on her face. "I have them all written on my IPad." She says looking at me with wide eyes that basically says what's next. I would start a session with her here in my office but I keep hearing these weird sounds coming from my bathroom, probably Brittany, so Ill cut this short for now.

"Cool, so lets meet in Studio H at about 3. We'll go over your songs, add a few beats and melodies then see where it goes from there", I say with a huge smile on my face. I'm actually really excited to get in the studio because lately all I've been doing is official work but now it's time for me to play.

"Great, thank you so much Santana!" Mercedes says with so much gratitude as she gets up leave my office. "I'll see you at three and I promise you won't be disappointed", she says as she closes my door.

"You can come out now," I yell out to Brittany from my chair. I guess she figured if I wasn't going to answer her calls she would show up unannounced. I'm just glad she didn't show up at my house, I would think she's crazy then. I see her slowly come out my bathroom with a sheepish look on her face.

"Thank goodness, I thought all were going to be forever," she sighs out as she walks my way. You would think she would sit on the many chairs my office has to offer but instead she decides to plop herself on my lap. We look at each other for a few seconds trying to read one another until she leans down to peck my lips a few times before pulling away. "Have you been ok? I've been trying to get in touch with you," Brittany says in a quiet tone. That's one thing I like about Brittany, she isn't angry or accusatory of why I haven't been answering her. But of course I have to screw it up with my next question.

"When's the last time you talk to Jose?" I ask looking right into her eyes knowing I'll be able to tell if she's telling the truth or not. I feel her tense but her eyes never falter.

"I didn't come here to talk about him, and what you have on me he never will," she says with so much seriousness that I almost a shed fucking tear. I do not cry. Ever. The only time I have cried was when my mother passed away or when my dad made me feel like complete shit as a kid.

"Dump him." I say simply but my eyes hold so much emotion that I think it scares her.

"I. I don't know if I can do that Santana," Brittany says as she pulls back slightly. I can see the wheels turning in her head. "I already told my parents that I was bringing Jose home with me for 4th of July," She says while giving me a weary look as if she's afraid I might get mad.

"Take me instead, we're both Mexican so it's not like it's a big deal anyway," I say giving her my puppy dog eyes. I know she isn't going to change her mind but it doesn't hurt to try. She laughs and shakes her head at my joke; her pale hand reaches up to caress my tan face as we look into each other eyes. I can't believe I'm even asking to meet her parents but let's be real; I think Brittany and could have something truly special.

"I wish it were that easy Santana. I'm just so scared how my parents will react if I told them I was dating a girl. They already don't approve of my dancing, I don't know how I would feel if they felt like this was another reason to dislike me," Brittany says in a sad voice. I can understand where she's coming from because I dealt with the disapproval of my dad and Abuela for a long time but that doesn't mean she has to use Jose. I won't pressure her though, what's meant to be will be. At least that's what my mother use to tell me.

"It's cool Britt, just have fun with your family," I say as I peck her lips. "Isn't your audition today?" I ask looking at her with a curious look.

"Yea, it is. At 4," she whispers as she reaches down to tenderly kiss my lips. "I'm a little nervous though, I was hoping you could help me gain some confidence," she says while teasingly caressing my lips with her tongue. As much as I want to give in to Brittany's advances, it's way too many people that's mostly likely going to be looking for me all day.

"You have all the confidence you need Britt and you know it. What song did you choose to dance to?" I ask hoping to change the mood without having to really say it.

"Fall for You by Leela James," She says looking into my eyes trying to read my reaction. I can't help but smile at her. I must admit I am surprised by her song choice because it's such an emotional piece. I wish I could find a way to see her audition but I know how Beyoncé auditions are extremely private.

"Interesting choice", I say with trying to hide the smile growing on my face. I lean up to kiss her softly which then grows into us passionately kissing. My hands are all over her thighs while her hands are grabbing at my hair as our kisses get more intense. I know I said I wouldn't do anything with her right now but a quickie wouldn't hurt. "Let's go to my bathroom," I suggest to Brittany who eagerly gets up with a bright smile on her face.

"I knew you couldn't resist me," she says with a smug look as she grabs my hand and drags me to the bathroom.

What do you all think?
