Chapter 11
The rest of the week went by and everyone went on their respective dates.
Brittany and Santana went on their 'date' with Finn at Breadsticks, only to find out that he wasn't man enough to handle the two of them together. They pretty much made him realize that he still had feelings for Rachel and that he wasn't going to give up on her that easily.
After the date, Brittany ended up going to Santana's place to hang out.
"B, why do you look so…uncomfortable?" Santana raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing, I just haven't been here in a while…I guess. It's been like 3 weeks. I used to come here every day."
"Come here…it's also been a while since I've kissed those lips of yours…" Santana said seductively.
"But Finn isn't here…I thought we were doing that for Finn?" Brittany replied.
"We never needed Finn before…and he can't handle the two of us. That date was pretty much a train wreck."
"Yeah…" Brittany shrugged before Santana leaned in to slowly kiss her lips.
"Shhh…less talking, more this." Santana said in between kisses.
Brittany stopped Santana from making any more advances by turning her head and grabbing the Latina's hands that were making their way up her top and skirt.
"S…it's late and I'm not feeling too well. I'll call you later." Brittany said knowing where exactly the two would be heading to if Brittany didn't stop.
"Britt…come on…it's only 10 and we haven't…" Santana started disappointed.
"Drive me home?" Brittany said and added a quick peck to Santana's lips.
"Yeah, sure…" Santana sighed giving up.
Santana drove Brittany home. Once the two parked in front of Brittany's, they sat there in silence for a few minutes.
"Um, well I guess…I'll see you later, S." Brittany broke the silence.
"B, wait…" Santana said placing her hand on Brittany's leg.
"What's going on between…you and Quinn?" Santana acknowledged.
"Oh…um…we're friends? Like you and I…" Brittany answered, not really knowing what to say.
"Like friends with benefits?" Santana hesitated to ask.
"Not really…" Brittany shrugged.
"So you two haven't…" Santana avoided eye contact.
"S…" Brittany sighed.
"Sorry B…I'll let you go inside. Good night baby girl, I love you." Santana said before kissing Brittany's hand softly.
Brittany smiled half heartedly and responded back, "I love you too S. Call you tomorrow."
Before getting out of the car, Brittany leaned over to hug Santana. Before letting go, Santana kissed Brittany one last time for night. It was slow and sweet, but Brittany pulled away feeling a bit guilty for kissing the Latina when Quinn was inside the house. Santana was left in her car thinking about why Brittany had been so reluctant lately and what Quinn had to with it all.
"Oh hey Quinn, why aren't you upstairs, sleeping?" Brittany asked surprised that an innocent looking Quinn was sitting on the living room couch.
"Oh, no reason… Just wasn't tired, so I thought I'd watch some TV down here." Quinn quickly responded.
The truth was that Quinn was waiting up for Brittany. She wanted to see how late Brittany was going to come home from her date with Finn and Santana, if she was going to come home at all. She wanted to be reassured that Brittany would be there by her side that night.
"You know Quinn, I know it may be kind of early, but you need your sleep. Sleep is one of the things that make the baby healthy. I don't want you tired or stressed…"Brittany exclaimed seriously as they made their way up to Brittany's room.
"So…ummm…how was your date?" Quinn asked ignoring the previous statement Brittany made due to her curiosity.
"Could've been better. I think Finn totally hates S and me…"
"Yeah? Why would you say that?" Quinn asked watching Brittany change into PJs.
"Santana wasn't really paying much attention to him, and he's still totally into Rachel." Brittany said before pulling her pajama top over her head.
"I'm sure it wasn't that bad…it seemed like it lasted about 3 hours. Finn wouldn't go that long on a date he wasn't enjoying."
"Yeah, well he only really lasted an hour. He left us at Breadsticks…so we just stayed there for a while talking then went back to Santana's place…"
"Oh…" Quinn said disappointed as she thought about Brittany and Santana together again.
"Yeah. Um, I'm going downstairs. I'm gonna make a call. I'll be back in a few." Brittany said a little awkwardly before rushing out with her phone in hand.
Brittany was gone before Quinn could respond. She was left there for the nth time wondering what she was getting herself into.
"I think I'm gonna have to back off a bit. Lack of sleep isn't stressing me out…these mixed signals are stressing me out."Quinn groaned to herself before cuddling with a pillow that had Brittany's scent on it, waiting for the real thing.
Quinn woke up differently than the past few days: without the warmth of Brittany's body. It was just like the night before the first day back from winter break.
She couldn't help but feel jealous again due to the fact that Brittany was acting strange last night and there was no sign of Brittany ever coming back upstairs to sleep.
"Hey Q, I made breakfast in bed for you." Brittany entered the room with a tray full of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and OJ on the side.
Quinn stared at the food and decided that she wasn't going to turn the other blonde away. She just gave Brittany a small smile before digging in. As Quinn ate, Brittany turned the tv on to see what Saturday morning cartoons were on and decided on Spongebob Squarepants.
"So Quinnie the Pooh, what time should I be ready tonight?"
"I don't know. I'm not really feeling too well. I don't know if I'm up for it." Quinn said hesitantly.
She lied, but she couldn't get the thought of Brittany and Santana spending hours together and talking on the phone for hours the night before. Quinn loved Brittany, but she wondered why she was both clueless and nonchalant about the situation between the two of them. She just needed to stop having expectations from Brittany; she needed to face the fact that they weren't together yet.
"Oh…"
"Maybe you should go out with Santana or something?" Quinn said testing Brittany's limits.
Brittany just sat there looking confused, before replying, "I don't want to go out with Santana, tonight?"
"If you're not feeling too well, I'd rather just stay here and take care of you." Brittany continued as Quinn sat there finishing up her breakfast.
"Brittany, stop that." Quinn shook her head.
"What?"
"Nevermind…" Quinn sighed. "Did you even come back up to sleep last night?"
"Oh, um, no. Sorry Quinnie the Pooh. I fell asleep talking to…"
"What do you & Santana talk about for so long? Brittany, I like you…a lot, more than you know. But I feel like I can never compete with Santana. I know you two are best friends and 'friends with benefits', but I can't keep doing this with you, if I'm not even going to have a chance." Quinn confessed, letting her emotions and feelings for Brittany get to her.
"…Kurt" Brittany said as if she didn't hear a word Quinn said.
"B, what does Kurt have anything to do with this? Did you not hear anything I just said? You can't just keep playing games with people. You can't just kiss someone out of the blue. You can't just do things like make me breakfast in bed & say sweet things like 'I'd rather stay here and take care of you', and expect me to forget you were with Santana last night." Quinn said frustrated, while Brittany sat there taking it all in.
"But Q, I love you…you're my best friend and…"Brittany didn't know what else to say.
"Exactly...Is that all I'm ever going to be to you? I know it's only been a few weeks, but I don't know. I don't need this extra stress. I'm pregnant."Quinn continued, letting her feelings out.
"You know what…you're one to talk, telling me that I can't keep playing games with people. What about you? You're pregnant, and you let everyone think that Finn was the father. How's that not playing games?" Brittany stood up for herself.
"And you know what? I wasn't on the phone with Santana last night; I was talking to Kurt, asking him questions about being gay or whatever. I told him that I really liked my best friend and that I want to be with her exclusively. But I don't know how to go about it, considering the fact that I've never had an actual relationship." Brittany continued with a softer voice and avoided eye contact.
"What?" Quinn replied, not really expecting to hear what she just heard.
Both blondes started to calm down. It wasn't the biggest argument, but there were a lot of emotions and feelings being revealed. Brittany took a deep breath.
"Look Quinnie the Pooh, you've been one of my best friends for 3 years. You've lived in this house for almost 3 months. It's been different between the two of us for weeks and it's a good different. I guess what I'm trying to say is…I like you, like more than a friend, more than a friend with benefits. We don't have to tell the every one, if you don't want to, but all I know is that I want to try this 'exclusive' relationship with you…if you want."
Brittany was nervous, spilling her feelings out like that. The last time she did that with someone, her feelings were pushed aside and it became physical with her best friend. All Brittany knew was that at this moment with Quinn, she was willing to give up all the boys and girls, particularly Santana, to try an actual exclusive relationship.
Quinn didn't know what to say. She was happy to say the least, but the thought of Brittany and Santana was still at the back of her mind, because she knew Santana wouldn't approve and would probably do all she could to keep Quinn & Brittany apart. At the same time she didn't really know what Brittany was asking her.
"Uhhh, what are you saying?" Quinn asked
Brittany smiled to herself. She thought that she was the slow one.
"I want to date you; just you. I kind of feel like we've been dating for a while, even if we've only been on one date. What I'm trying to ask you is…um, Quinnie the Pooh, will you be my boyfriend?"
"I'm not a boy, so no?"
"I mean girlfriend! Will you be my girlfriend!"
"I…yes Baby B." Quinn couldn't stop smiling.
"I was going to ask you tonight but…"
"It doesn't matter…you just asked what I've wanted to ask you for quite a while. Come here." Quinn said before pulling Brittany in for a kiss.
And at that moment, it was that easy. The two were together, but neither of them knew how a real relationship worked, and the two would find out soon enough.
