-Date or no Date Chapter Seven-
Today is the day that Brit and I are going on our date. I am so excited I straighten my hair did my makeup light, threw on a purple tank top and matched it with a pair of black skinny pants and I wore cute little black flats. After I am doing getting ready I head over to Susan's bar as I walked in I was greeted by James the other bartender
"What do you say I take off the apron sell the bar and we go where ever you want to go babe?"
"Stop joking around and give me a beer I have a date with a friend"
"I'll get you a beer, my best ham, and a house on the beach if you want"
I laugh him off, I know he is playing with me but I do get that a lot from guys, it's like the fact that I am a lesbian never crosses there mind.
"Come on give me the beer before I leave" I joke
He slides the beer to me.
On the other side of town at the precinct Brittany is getting ready for the date. She's in the shower room doing her hair talking with Tina.
"You look really pretty" Tina says
"I am going out for dinner… Do I look too done up?"
"Of course not you look beautiful… He's going to rip that shirt off in less than two minutes… Watch you'll be telling me all about it tomorrow… He's going to go crazy… Is he one of those strong guys that can lift you in his arms?"
Britt is feeling really uncomfortable and doesn't know how to respond
"Um…Yea"
"You're very lucky I never found a man like that…Tell you something I should do what you do maybe if I had that kinda of underwear"
Tina smiles at Britt but she's already feeling so uncomfortable because she's not going out with a him but rather a her and she doesn't know if she is ready just yet to tell people.
Back at the bar I am on my third beer I have sat down at one of the tables she's an hour later already but maybe work just is holding her up. After another thirty minutes I try calling her but no answer so I wait, I wait until the bar closes and no Britt. Maybe shes just not ready yet I can understand that I mean we know who her father is but I can't get over the hold that she has on me and I know she feels the same way.
It's just that every time we are together it's like we are in our own little mini world almost like time is standing still. We our eyes meet chills run down my spine and when she smiles at me oh god when she smiles I feel my heart race like I am sitting on the top of a rollercoaster that is about to plummet to the ground. When our skin touches I feel electricity flow through my body down to my core. I know she feels all those things to so I am going to be patient cause she's so worth the wait.
I stand up and tell James that I am going to head out
"Santana there no hurry I still have to clean up and I will be here a while maybe she will still show up"
"It's ok I will see you tomorrow but thanks"
Next day back at the office I am in the elevator on my way to my office when Brittany walks in she's looking down at a folder and doesn't notice me but notices a person so she greets me
"Hi"
"Hi"
When she notices that the person there is me she smiles and looks really nervous
"Second floor?" I ask
"Yes please"
We are both silent while waiting to reach our destination but we keep sending each other smiles and flirtatious looks
I should have answered the phone, what should I say now? Should I make an excuse or tell her the truth? That I was afraid! Brittany thought to herself
I came on too strong, I am incapable of having a female friend because as soon as we get along I think there is something more. Santana was thinking at the same time.
Brittany's folder falls out of her hand and all the papers fall all over the floor
"Oh man this kinda stuff always happens to me"
But with her there is something more I have to tell her Santana's thoughts continue
As they are bent down on the floor picking up the papers
Come on tell her Brittany thinks
All of a sudden the elevator shakes as it is coming to a stop and throws Britt off balance causing her to have to lean into me making our faces coming millimeters from each other.
Tell her Britt Brittany thinks Tell her now
"Santana"
We stand up in unison
"Last night I didn't go to dinner because…. Do I tell her the truth? …. I had to do an autopsy and I didn't have my cell I am sorry" lie
I gave her the hugest smile
"Don't worry about it… I waited for a little bit then I called my friend Quinn and we went for a drink we were out all night" I lied
"Well that's good… Well we should go out another time then"
"Yea that would be great this is your floor"
"Oh yeah" she laughed
"Whenever you want Blondie"
"Ok... See you later"
"Bye"
With that she was gone I continued on my way to my office when I ran into my brother along the way
"Sister I need a person favor…"
I place my hands on his shoulder and pull him in
"Ok"
"It's Sara… I think she has a boyfriend Santana"
"Are you asking me to spy on her?"
"No, no, no of course not it's not about that it's a manner of being subtle you know drawing it out of her right? Easing it out of her. Santana it's killing me that I don't know. I don't want to know names or anything. I just want to know if my little girl is ok that she's not mixed up in anything that could be bad for her"
"Ok fine"
"Yes… I mean thanks"
"Then tonight you stay at my house and sleep in her room and you can prey it out of her"
That night I stay over at my brother's house. We get into our PJ"S and watch movies we just talk about nothing really. Having a girl's night in. Around midnight Sara and I decide we want ice cream so we head to the kitchen. In the living room on the pull out couch is Mr. Pierce I look at him and he is out like a rock. I give Sara that look like I am going to fuck with him and walk to the side of the couch.
"Santana, Santana, you wake him and I am going to kill you"
I end up just covering him
"Auntie"
"So he won't be cold, you know how hard he works to stay healthy it would be a shame for him to get sick"
"Hey there only a tiny bit left"
"Yeah it's all over me"
I take the bit in to my mouth before she can stop me
"My aunt the pig"
We walk back to her room and sit on her bed. It's now or never
"So, you and Sam huh?
"Noooo"
"I don't believe that"
"But no"
"Not even a little fling… a date? Anything?"
"I said no I am not with him"
"I use to like Artie but I am over it, and you?"
"Me?"
"Do you like anyone?"
Damn she turned this around on me she's a smart one
"Well I tend to confuse friendship with attraction sometimes"
"Yeah I noticed" she laughs "When did you first realize you were a lesbian?"
"And there it is"
"Where did it cine from?"
"I don't know… Curiosity"
"Come on tell me"
"Sure make little faces"
"Come on tell me"
"ok let's see… when I was your age I went out with boys… my friends told me I was supposed to like boys… so I date guy after guy… it never worked out with them, then this one day I got to know this girl and I kiss that girl… and I loved it, it was different I realized that I really liked the tenderness.
In the morning I talk to my brother I tell him what Sara told me and I believe her. She might like him but I don't think that they are in a relationship or are doing anything either just a simple crush right now. My brother heads off for work and I clean up the kitchen. Sara and Mr. Pierce are still here somewhere and then I hear the door. Sara runs to open it and Mr. Pierce comes out of the living room. It's Brittany.
"Hi, hi my love" Mr. Pierce says
"Hi" Britt responds
I look over at her and see she is staring at me with a smile plastered to her face
"How are you honey? I am glad you are here" He says
Sara walks off to go back to her room and Mr. Pierce grabs her by the arm
"Your aunt is an expert on the street parties around here she's going to show it to you" He tells Sara
"No thank you I don't want to kill me feet" Britt says
"Let's go all three of us" Sara says looking between me and Britt
Sara grabs Britt and pulls her closer to me we smile at each other.
"The three of us can be like Charlie's Angels… we can go dancing please" Sara pleads
We just continue to smile at each other not saying a word
