Author's Note: Another chapter up! Again, I apologize if the story is going slow.
So this chapter pretty much starts off where Chapter 9 ends. Lol.
Please review! Let me know what you think!
Chapter 10
"You're late, Brittany. Go run 5 laps around the gym." Santana said coldly when Brittany entered the gym as the cheerios were stretching and Brittany didn't question it.
2 hours went by and cheerios practice was over. Santana seemed to b e extra bitchy than usual, and of course Sue was impressed.
"S…are you okay?" Brittany asked the Latina as they packed up their stuff in the locker room. "You seem…I don't know."
"Don't be late again, Brittany. We have nationals coming up and we don't need people slacking or getting distracted." Santana said avoiding eye contact.
"Sorry S. You knew where I was…"
"B, it doesn't take that long to walk tubby to the library." Santana turned to face the blonde and grabbed one of her hands.
"Look, I don't want to be a bitch to you…you're my best friend, but Quinn isn't the queen bee anymore, and I'm so close. I don't want to risk this, okay?" the Latina continued.
Brittany just nodded in agreement.
After a few seconds, Brittany asked, "So are you asking Finn out tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I guess. Will you come with me? On the date, I mean. We're a package deal, remember? It's always more fun with you anyways…" Santana answered with a wink
"Yeah of course…I like free food." Brittany said getting up. "Call me tonight, so we can come up with a plan or something. I gotta go now and get Quinnie…I can't believe she stayed in the library for two hours."
"Yeah…" Santana said unenthusiastically.
"Love you Lopez." Brittany hugged Santana from behind before leaving her to sit alone in the locker room.
The next day of school went by and it was time for Glee once again. Like usual, Brittany and Santana strolled in last and ended up sitting together.
The night before, Brittany and Quinn spent hours making out, but the two didn't get any further than hands roaming around under each other's shirts. Brittany didn't tell Quinn anything about Santana and the cheerios. Brittany ended up leaving Quinn a bit frustrated when she stopped making out with her to answer Santana's phone call. However, Quinn couldn't complain especially when Brittany held her close and nuzzled her neck as they fell asleep.
Even if Santana was spending more time with Brittany at school, Quinn had sweet Brittany at home and that thought made her smile to herself while she and the rest of the glee kids waited for Mr. Schue to come to the choir room.
Finn fulfilled the 'Hello' assignment with his rendition of "Hello, I love you". Quinn felt awkward at times, when he was singing and staring right at her. She hurt Finn; she hurt one of the sweetest guys she's ever known, the one guy that she could have loved (after all he was sort of the guy version of Brittany…sweet, caring, tall, a little slow, and adorable minus sexy dancer and beautiful blonde with blue eyes)
"And that fellow glee clubbers, is how we say 'hello'." Rachel stood up clapping proudly.
But what really caught Quinn's attention was the fact that Santana and even Brittany seemed to be extremely amused by Finn. So when Santana and Brittany got up together and approached the tall boy, she was curious and a bit jealous. She wondered what was going on and why Finn was standing in front of the two cheerios looking like he just won the lottery.
A FEW HOURS LATER AT BRITTANY'S
"What was up with you, Santana, and Finn earlier in Glee club?" Quinn asked as her and Brittany settled on the bed after arriving home.
Quinn laid on her back staring at the ceiling, while Brittany sat cross legged next to her so they were facing each other.
"Oh, nothing really…why?" Brittany shrugged, starting to draw patterns on Quinn's stomach.
"I don't know. Finn looked …excited when the two of you approached him." Quinn said thinking back to a few hours before.
"Hmm, I guess…I mean I would be too. It's totally understandable."
"What do you mean?" Quinn questioned.
"Well, if I was Finn, and two hot Cheerios asked me out, I'd totally say yes." Brittany confessed.
"Oh…so you have a date with Finn?" Quinn inquired not really understanding why Brittany would go on a date with Finn.
"Yup and Santana."Brittany blurted out.
"Oh…"Quinn replied tensing up and turning to lay on her side.
"Don't worry Quinn…it doesn't really mean anything to me. I'm just doing it for Santana." Brittany said as she lie down to spoon and nuzzle Quinn from behind.
Quinn relaxed a bit, but the thought of Brittany "doing it for Santana" still made her feel insecure. Sure, they weren't exclusive like Brittany pointed out the day before, but Quinn was falling fell hard for Brittany and no matter what, Santana was still competition. Quinn wondered why Santana was going out on a date with Finn and why Brittany had to go too.
"Quinnie the Pooh…" Brittany whispered against Quinn's ear.
When Quinn didn't respond, Brittany continued, "You know, I'm still waiting for you to ask me out on a second date…you promised…"
Quinn cracked a smile even though Brittany couldn't see her face. Turning around in Brittany's arms to face her, Quinn brought a hand up to caress Brittany's cheek.
"Baby B, will you go out on a 2nd date with me Saturday night?"
"Oh, I don't know. I have to check my schedule…" Brittany smirked.
"Actually, let's reschedule that. I've already got a hot date that night…" Quinn retorted with a playful smile.
"Q, I was kidding!" Brittany narrowed her eyes & felt a pang of jealousy, wondering who this "hot date" Quinn was talking about.
"So was I…well not really. I do have a hot date…" Quinn snuggled closer to Brittany.
"Quinnie the Pooh…" Brittany whined.
"It's you Baby B…it's you…" Quinn said simply, not just reassuring Brittany that she was the hot date, but reassuring herself that it was Brittany; it always has been and always will be.
"Oh, hehe, that's embarrassing. Sorry…" Brittany giggled.
"Shhhh…I'm sleepy. Nap?" Quinn said trying to forget about the fact that Brittany was still going out on a date with Santana (she didn't find Finn to be much of a threat)
"Mhmmm…" Brittany mumbled holding Quinn tightly.
