A/N: Just a filler chapter, I'm in the mood for some fluff so here ya go

Chapter 20 – Santana's POV

The next night, I had to work at the bar for a little bit, so I didn't get home until about 9 o'clock. When I walked in the door, I called out to Brittany to tell her that I was home, but there was no reply. I glanced in the kitchen and the living room, and when I didn't see her there, I started to make my way back towards her bedroom. The sound of music coming from her bedroom told me that she was most likely in there. I peeked my head in the door, and sure enough, there she was on her bed reading. She glanced up when she heard me walk all the way into her room. "Hey baby," she smiled at me.

I grinned at her and crawled onto the bed beside her, "Well, hello gorgeous!" I softly pecked her on the lips, she responded to this by wrapping her arms around me and pulling me beside her.

"How was work?" she asked me as she kissed the top of my head.

"Eh," I mumbled, "work was work. Whatcha doin?" I asked her as she took the book that was in her lap and marked her page, then set the book on the bedside table.

I cuddled into her and kissed her cheek. "Just reading and thinking," she smiled at me. I tapped her forehead, "What's going on up there?" I asked.

Brittany kissed my nose, "I just wanted you to know that you make everyday worth getting up for," she smiled, somewhat bashfully. "You're like the chocolate sauce to my ice cream," she smiled really big and I couldn't help but to kiss her softly.

"I'm not nearly as good as chocolate," I mumbled with a grin. Brittany then tilted her head down a little and placed little kisses on my neck, barely letting the tip of her tongue stick out and touch my skin. I couldn't help but to sigh. She had no clue how good that felt.

"Much better than chocolate," she mumbled and pulled back and smiled at me.

I couldn't help but to pout, "Why'd you stop?" I asked her.

"Because I'm not done with what I have to say," she grinned and kissed my nose. "I just honestly was worried that telling each other that we love one another would change us, and at least from my end, I think that it's been so much better. It's weird because it feels like we've been talking forever and it hasn't even been that long," she finished with a peck on my lips.

I rested my chin on her chest and looked up at her. "I know exactly what you mean baby. And yeah, it feels like a long time, but then again, it seems like just yesterday that I met you. I don't get it. But, I do get one thing," I mumbled and softly kissed her, "I love you."

Brittany smiled her best crooked smile and slowly kissed me back, mumbling an I love you at some point. I swear I could lay like that with Brittany for the rest of my life and I'd be good. When the two of us kissed, there was no rush. It was like we had all the time in the world to spend together, and we planned on doing just that. Brittany grinned as I pulled her bottom lip back with my teeth, then placed a light kiss on her bottom lip, then her top, then both of them. I cuddled back up to Brittany and she grabbed her book off of the table and resumed reading it.

Seeing her with a look of concentration on her face just made me want to be with her even more. She truly was beautiful, in every sense of the word. She wrapped her other arm around me, and just barely ran her fingertips up and down my back underneath my shirt. I could tell that it wasn't something that she was even realizing she was doing, which was another thing that I loved about Brittany. Constantly, she was doing things for people without even thinking twice about it. She wasn't afraid to put everyone before herself. Whether it was making me a blueberry muffin to take to work in the morning, or just scratching my back like she was now, she always took care of me. It wasn't that she tried, it just came naturally to her. Finally I had enough, and I leaned over and laid my head on top of her book, staring up at her.

Brittany grinned as she looked down at me, "Baby I need to read," she told me, referring to the textbook under my head. I knew that in all honestly she didn't want to be reading, so I simply shrugged. "Read my lips," I told her and mouthed 'I love you'.

"Much better reading," she once again smiled at me and leaned down to peck my lips. As she pulled back, I mouthed 'You're beautiful' to her.

"That's an interesting read because from what I'm reading you're the beautiful one," she told me with that cute little smirk of hers. I shook my head a little, then mouthed 'Brittany's beautiful'. Brittany couldn't hold back the smile now, and leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"You're amazing," she whispered.

"Baby, that'd be you," I told her, but when I was met with a stern look, I quickly shut my mouth. I was just waiting for her to tell me to not argue. Instead, she ran her hand through my hair, and smiled at me with what seemed like a content look. If I knew anything, it was that I wanted to be with this girl. Really, officially, be with her, be able to call her my girlfriend, no longer worry about 'friendship' lines that I might be crossing. I wanted her for myself, and I was bound and determined to make that happen. The only question was, would I be able to gather the courage to ask? I honestly didn't have the answer to that. After Kitty I've been far to scared to let anyone get that close to me again but Brittany was special.
