Thank you guys for the great reviews. Hope you like this chapter.
"What happened last night?" Artie said, sitting up in his bed.
Artie looked around his room, until he saw Brittany lay naked under his covers. He let out a small yell that startled Brittany.
"What's wrong?" Brittany asked, catching her breath as she sat up in the bed.
"Oh, nothing. Just forgot how beautiful you are." Artie said, covering himself up.
"Aw, Artie, you always were a sweetheart." Brittany said, kissing him on the cheek.
Brittany got out of the bed, exposing her naked body to him. Artie's mouth dropped as he put his pants on. Brittany's body has become sexier then the last time Artie has seen it.
"Did we? I don't remember." Artie said in his head, still trying to remember what happened.
Before he could say anything, Brittany kissed him passionately on the lips, got dressed and left. She told Artie that she'd call him later to catch up if he wanted. Happily agreeing, he closed the door behind her. Artie quickly finished getting dressed and went out to get some breakfast.
He went to the same diner he found Mr. Shuester at. Walking in and sitting down, he saw Tina and Mike talking on the other side of the restaurant. Avoiding eye contact, Artie ordered his breakfast.
Finally thinking he was in the clear, Artie looked over at them. He was wrong. Tina was looking directly at him, studying him, as if she knew him from somewhere. But was worse then that, she said something to Mike, who then turned towards Artie and also began studying him. Both their faces lit up when they realized who he was. Tina stood up first and started walking towards him, followed by Mike
"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap crap." Artie said in his head as they continued to approach. "Walk past, walk past, walk past, walk past." He said
"Hey Artie!" Tina said happily.
"Fuck!" He screamed in his head.
"Oh hey, you two! I haven't seen you guys in awhile. How have you been?" Artie said with a smile, as Tina and Mike said down across from him.
"We've been really good. Brittany and I flew in yesterday. Speaking of her, ever since you sent that email, Brittany's been talking all about you and how she can't wait to see you." Mike said with a laugh, as Tina shot him a look saying "Don't talk about another girl in front of me."
"Yeah, she came over last night unexpectedly." Artie said with a laugh.
"Damn, that was fast. We got in at like nine last night." Mike said.
"Yeah, it was weird. So tell me what it's like being a dancer for a celebrity." Artie said, not wanting to talk to Tina.
"Dude, it's great! Brittany and I are the lead dancers, doing all the main stuff, while everyone else is in the background." Mike said with a smile.
"That's great dude." Artie said with a smile, as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Oh look at the time, we have to go Mike." Tina said, standing up.
Watching the two walk away, Artie could hear Tina yelling at Mike for not letting her talk. Artie laughed, watching Mike's reaction as Tina slapped him.
"I guess those two need to go back to Asian Couple's Therapy." He said as he finished up his breakfast.
Artie paid his check and walked out of the diner. The summer morning felt refreshing as he strolled down the streets.
Walking towards one of the neighborhoods, he stumbled into another person.
"Oh excuse me miss." Artie said, apologizing for running into her.
"Watch where you're going." The woman said as she turned around. "Oh…Artie? Is that you?" She said.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. Who are you?" Artie said, not reliving who it was.
"It's me. Santana." She said as she hugged him.
"Santana? Man, you look so different. You look great." Artie said with a smile as he studied her.
"Well, one of the perks of dating a rich man is I get what I want, when I want." Santana said with a smile
After leaving high school, Santana went to USC where she met and dated Reggie Bush. Their relationship skyrocketed when he was signed by the New Orleans Saints. Once he got his first payment, Reggie Bush proposed to Santana, now giving her a large portion of his money.
"So how are you? I've missed you." Santana said with a smile.
"I've been good. Having the best week of my life." Artie said with a laugh.
"Aw well that's good. So I'm guessing either Brittany's back or you're rich." Santana said with a laugh.
"Well, what if I told you it was both?" Artie said with a smile.
"Aw Artie, I'm proud of you. But I have to go. I need to stop by at my parents for lunch. It was great seeing you again." Santana said as she walked towards her old house.
"It was great seeing you too." Artie said with a smile as he continued his walk.
He's never known Santana to be that nice to him before. Artie thought she always hated him for being with Brittany. He was surprised, but relieved that she became a better person, while still maintaining her love for the popular boys.
As the day went on, Artie started thinking about what happened between him and Brittany last night. He loved what happened, but still doesn't understand why. Artie called Brittany and asked to get some coffee. Happily agreeing, she met Artie at Starbucks next to William McKinley High. After ordering and sitting down, they started talking. At first, they reminisced about their relationship in high school and how cute everyone thought they were.
"Remember when we first started going out?" Brittany asked with a smile.
"Yeah, you thought I was a robot or something." Artie said with a laugh.
"Well I didn't know what to think, but you were so cute in your adorable sweaters. The way you sang, your smile, just…everything." Brittany said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Well you did take my…yeah. Anyways, remember Rachel's party? I'd have to say, you looked sexy in your outfit." Artie said with a grin.
"I think I left my bra there after we did it on the stage." Brittany said, trying to figure out what happened to her bra.
"You were always amazing when it came to sex." Artie said with a laugh.
"No! You were by far the best person I've ever slept with. At first, I didn't think you could. But after that, no one could compare to you." She said with a smile.
"How did we get to talking about sex? I remember how madly in love I was with you. You brought the best out of me and turned me into someone." Artie said with a smile while looking at the table.
"Aw Artie, I was so in love with you! You were all I could think about." Brittany said with a bigger smile.
"What if I told you I loved you now?" Artie asked, blushing.
Brittany didn't answer at first. She looked at him, jaw dropped, and eyes wide open. Finally, she looked at him and smiled.
"I love you." She said, reaching out and grabbing Artie's hand.
"I said what if I told her! I don't know how I feel about her yet." Artie said to himself as he held Brittany's hand.
The two continued to talk about their relationship when Santana walked in. Brittany jumped up and hugged Santana. After Santana ordered her coffee, she sat down with Brittany and Artie. The girls caught up, talking about their Cheerio days. Santana brought up how jealous she was of Artie and how cute Brittany and he were together. Then they talked about what they've been doing since high school. After an hour of talking, the three of them went to the park, where they continued to catch up. Leaving Brittany and Santana to talk some more, Artie left and went home.
"I'll call you later." Artie said to Brittany as he walked out of the park.
