So this story is pretty much written in my head, got it all planned out. I now just need to find time to get it all written down.
3 months of sitting in a car together and Brittany still knew very little about her new driver. All the information she did know was that see was beautiful, had stunning eyes she could get lost in and that she was in love with her.
How could she love someone she barely knew? She had tried to talk to Santana on many an occasion but either a badly timed phone call from her managers would come through or Santana just gave her the most limited of words back.
Talking was always one of Brittany's strong points. She loved to talk, to get to know people. People always interested her but sadly most of the people she met wanted to know about her. Why she never knew, they could just pick up a magazine or ask Google and they could find out anything they wanted about her.
But Santana was different. She never asked anything of Brittany. She was a absolute professional. She drove Brittany to all her appointments. Was never late and always polite to everybody she met. She never asked what Brittany had done during her day. Never asked about interviews or parties or photo shoots. All she ever asked was if she had a good day, or if everything went ok. Even with these little questions Brittany tried to use it to start up a conversation but Santana would always manage to avoid talking.
This was frustrating and intriguing to Brittany. She wanted to know everything about the dark haired beauty, all she needed was to find the right conversation starter and she was sure the could talk picking out the information she so desperately wanted to know.
"Kurt?"
"Yes B?"
"Ummmm….. You know when you go to a club or a bar or, you know wherever it is you go to meet boys?"
"Please B, it's men I meet. Very much not boys! But yes, go on." Kurt was intrigued as to where this slightly random conversation was leading.
"Well, when you meet them how to do start talking to them? Like how to you start a conversation with them to try and find out about them?"
"Ok I will answer you question but first why are you asking it? I mean you never have any problem talking to people. In fact its harder to get you to shut up then to get you talking."
Brittany smiled. Most people walked on eggshells around her, not wanting to upset the star. But Kurt never cared. He was always honest with her about what he thought. "Well its not like I can't talk to someone it's just they wont talk to me."
"What do you mean? Everyone talks to you given half the chance!"
"Well yeah, I know, but not always. I mean sometimes people are shy around me I guess. Usually I don't care, I've got enough people to talk to so a few less is not really a problem. Well not like I don't want lots of people to talk to, people are interesting and I like getting to know them and I shouldn't complain and start sounding like a diva. I swore I would never be a diva. You don't think I'm a diva do you?"
"No, but I do think you have gotten of subject a bit there B."
"Right, sorry. So there is one person who I see….." Brittany didn't want to give too much away "occasionally. And, anyway, this person never really says much to me. I really want to get to know them, you know so we can chat and stuff. But as much as I try to start up a conversation I don't get anything back. So that's why I ask. How can I start a conversation with someone to get them to open up?"
"Ok, so let me get this straight. There is a person out there who won't talk to you but you want them to. So you want some advice on how to get them to open up?"
"Yeah, exactly."
Kurt thought for a bit. " Well to be honest B the way guys usually start chatting to me is cause they got a few drinks in them. Can't shut them up then."
"That's not really an option Kurt."
"Ok, well then as far as I can see it you have two options. Option one, you stay patient. Just keep trying to get little snippets of info out of them and try and find some common ground. Then you got your conversation starter. Or your second option is take them out and get them drunk."
Brittany just sighed. She really wanted some more advice than that. But Kurt was right. Not so much about taking Santana out and getting her drunk, but about being patient. Santana was working, being a professional so she wasn't about to be too chatty. This was going to be a challenge. That thought made Brittany smile. She liked a challenge, especially when the reward could be so fantastic.
"So ,you going to tell me who this mystery person is?" Kurt asked.
"Nope."
"Ah come on B. Don't leave me hanging that's not fair."
"Not yet Kurt. I know this sounds silly but I want to keep this for myself for now."
"You really are a mystery sometimes B. I think I know all there is to know about you then you go all cryptic on me."
"What would life be without a little bit of mystery? Thanks Kurt. I think patience is the way to go. Lets be honest here, no one can really resist the charms of Brittany S Pierce."
"Damn straight B, damn straight."
"Good morning Santana. Did you have a nice weekend?"
"Morning Brittany. Yes thanks. You?"
"I had a wonderful weekend thanks for asking. Had a lazy day infront of the tv yesterday. I hardly even get those so you can imaging how wonderful it was for me."
Santana gave Brittany a shy smile as she shut the back door of the car and walked around to the driver side. She buckled herself in and glanced into the rear view mirror at her passenger. "You ready?" She asked.
"Ready!" Brittany smiled back. Let the challenge begin.
Ok I'm not a fan of this chapter, its kind of a filler and kind of an insight into Brittanys thoughts about how she is going to get to know Santana.
Beg pardon for slight delay in update. Been engrossed in the small event that is going on in London right now. Go Team GB!
