Chapter 5

It was New Year's Eve and it had been two weeks since Brittany and Quinn shared their first kiss. Since then, they shared about 10 kisses under the mistletoe even a few days after Christmas, but it never went anywhere further. Neither of the two talked about it, which was somewhat relieving for Quinn. Every time Quinn tried to kiss Brittany without the mistletoe, something or someone interrupted them, always leaving Quinn embarrassed and even more nervous. Brittany was just all sorts of clueless about her best friend's love for her.

And Quinn still couldn't read Brittany; all she knew was that there had been a lack of Santana since their first kiss. She had no idea if the kisses meant as much to Brittany as it did to her, because Brittany still acted like the sweetest best friend that she was.

Tonight would be different Quinn thought. She had it all planned. She would take the plunge after all it was a new year and she couldn't keep living like this. She blamed the pregnancy hormones for wanting Brittany so badly, but something had to push her to reveal her feelings.

As the two sat close together in Brittany's room watching several New Year's specials and singing along to the different performances, Brittany kept checking her phone. Quinn wasn't sure why, but two thoughts came to her mind: Brittany was either waiting for a call (from Santana) or checking the time to see how close they were to the New Year. The first option discouraged Quinn, because she knew that Santana always was always the first to call Brittany every New Year.

Quinn did not want ANYTHING to interrupt her New Year moment with Brittany. Even though she loved Brittany's little sister, Hannah, she was so grateful that Hannah fell asleep before the New Year rolled in. Brittany's parents were in the living room downstairs, and Quinn probably didn't have to worry about them coming in, at least for a few minutes.

"Baby B, what's your New Year's resolution?" Quinn asked trying to distract Brittany from her phone.

"Oh, hmmm. I haven't thought about it. How about yours?" Brittany said with a furrowed brow, thinking about Quinn's question.

"Take more initiative." Quinn said simply.

"Don't you do that already?"

"With certain things I haven't." Quinn shrugged.

"Oh okay…" Brittany said with a small smile then excitingly jumped up, "Three more minutes Quinnie the Pooh! And you can take more initiative!"

And with that, Quinn hugged the girl sitting next to her. A few more minutes and she would take the initiative.

Santana's room

Santana laid on her bed thinking about what went down over a month ago and the day Brittany came over without Quinn two weeks ago.

"Sex is not dating," Santana asserted.

"If it were Santana and I would be dating" Brittany blurted out.

After the blonde cheerleader made the admission, most of the gleeks chose to ignore the statement completely, simply because Brittany only made sense 10% of the time. Plus the baby daddy drama and sectionals/regionals were more important to them.

She remembered watching Brittany follow Quinn out of the choir room. Although she couldn't hear the conversation going on between the two blondes, she saw how Quinn reacted to the words Brittany said and how her face lit up as Brittany grabbed her hand and walked her out of the school. Brittany could make anyone smile, but at that moment Santana wasn't smiling.

Santana felt Brittany was slipping away from her. Lately she regretted the 'sex is not dating' statement, because Brittany meant more than sex to her.

She needed to talk to Brittany; she missed her. She wanted to smile the way only Brittany made her smile. She and Brittany hadn't talked for days, so Santana got up from her sulking state and decided to head over to Brittany's to confront her, to apologize. Her New Year's Resolution was to cut down the bitchy and to be more truthful about herself and her feelings for Brittany, or at least try to.

Two weeks ago…(when Brittany went to drop off Santana's Christmas gift)

Brittany and Santana laid in bed after going at it for a few hours. Santana held Brittany in her arms as they cuddled. Santana missed the comfort she felt when Brittany was with her.

"S, um I have to go."

"Baby, just stay. You always stay the night. Plus it's still early, so we can keep going in a few minutes." Santana suggested as she caressed the blonde's arms.

"But Quinn's…"

"Who cares? One night without you, won't kill her." Santana interrupted, as she started to kiss the Brittany's neck.

"I've been here too long. I don't even have my phone on me, what if she called?" Brittany said as she lightly pushed Santana off and started reaching for her clothes.

"You know what B, just because she's pregnant, doesn't mean she's some weak, needy person. She's Quinn, remember? Plus, she's probably going to push you aside after she has that baby." Santana said feeling a bit jealous that Brittany kept thinking about taking care of Quinn.

"Actually, just go. I think I'll call Puck or something. He isn't all wrapped up in taking care of Quinn 24/7 and he's always up for some fun." Santana continued, not really thinking about what she was saying and how much it may have hurt Brittany.

Brittany stood there speechless.

"Bye B. Love you. Send Q my love, too" Santana said sarcastically as Brittany left.

Now it's four weeks later and here she was at Brittany's house trying to get her best friend & lover back.

Brittany's mom answered the door and told Santana that Brittany was in her room with Quinn.

As she climbed up the stairs, her heart began racing. The only time she ever felt this nervous was when she heard Brittany say the 3 words after their first time because she knew if she said it back, it was more than friend love. When you fall for Brittany, you fall fast and hard, she thought. She didn't know what to expect when she opened Brittany's door, and that's what scared her. Was her best friend still mad at her?

She could hear Brittany countdown to the New Year as she made her way up the stairs closer to Brittany's room. She didn't hear the countdown anymore, which was a sign that it was now the New Year. A few more steps and she reached for the door…

In Brittany's Room

Brittany sat there excited to watch the ball drop on the television, counting down loudly, while Quinn sat smiling amused at the sight in front of her.

"3…2…1!" Brittany jumped up to face Quinn, who took a deep breath and kissed her.

Quinn pulled Brittany's face closer to her own, and kissed her passionately, and she was happy that it was reciprocated by the other girl.

Pulling away to breathe, Quinn took the initiative again.

"Baby B, Happy New Year. It's time for me to work on my New Year's Resolution and take initiative. Go on a date with me tonight?" Quinn asked while nervousness coursed throughout her whole body and her heart raced.

Brittany just smiled and kissed her in reply, and Quinn took that as a yes. The two were in their own world, and didn't notice another presence in the room.
