Chapter 7 - Can't stop thinking about you
After their kiss they both put some distance between each other and sit one on each side of Brittany's bed with their backs to each other.
"This didn't happen." Brittany says nervously referring to their kiss.
"You think?" Santana says in a small voice.
"It couldn't have happened." Brittany says with panic visible on her voice.
"Why?" Santana looks at Brittany's back.
"Because…because it just couldn't." Brittany turns around and looks directly into Santana's eyes.
"Let's talk about this." Santana says hopefully.
"No. No I can't." Brittany stands up and walks towards the door.
"Brittany where are you going?" Santana says a little sad. She stands up ready to follow Brittany but she turns around and puts a hand in the air.
"Don't even think about it." Brittany says in a small voice and walks out of the room leaving a hurt Santana behind.
Later that day Santana is sitting at the table eating dinner with her 'parents', well if you consider moving your food back and forward on your plate eating then yeah she's eating.
"We should see that movie." Santana's mom says to her husband.
"Do you want to rent it for tomorrow night?" Brittany's dad asks.
"Yes. Do you want to see it too Santana?" Maribel asks her daughter. After not receiving a reply from her daughter she glances at her worriedly. "Santana?"
"Uh? Sorry mom." Santana says not knowing what they were talking about.
"Don't tell me you're also sick like Brittany." Santana's mom says worried.
"Uh? What is wrong with Brittany?" Santana asks worried about the blonde that's been tormenting her thoughts.
"She's sick. That's why she's not eating with us." Santana gives a small nod to her mom.
"Maybe it was something that you ate in school." Daniel Pierce, Brittany's dad, says.
"Yeah. It probably was." Santana shrugs. "Can I go to my room?"
"You can't eat anything else?" Maribel asks her daughter. Santana shakes her head no. "Okay. You can go." Santana gets up and goes to her room with a sad look on her face. "I don't like when we don't eat all together." Maribel sighs.
Later that night Brittany is twisting and turning in her bed trying to fall asleep, which obviously doesn't work because of a certain Latina on her mind. She keeps replaying their kiss over and over again. Finally she decides to get out of bed, goes to the kitchen and fills a glass with milk. She sits on the arm of the arm chair and drinks her milk. Suddenly she hears a door opening and sees Santana coming out of her room and walking towards her own. She sees her stop right in front of the door to her room and Brittany smiles to herself. After Santana can see her there she hides behind the armchair she was sitting on. She sees Santana going to the kitchen, drinking a glass of water and then going to her room after one last glance towards the living room. Brittany stands up from her hiding spot and sighs in relief. She decides to go to her room and try to get some sleep, which is very unlikely.
In the morning of the following day Santana is in her room doing some push-ups to relieve the stress when someone knocks on the door.
"Come in." Santana says while standing up from the floor and sees her mother entering the room.
"I'm making toasts. Do you want some?" Maribel asks smiling.
"Yes, mom. Thanks." Santana forces a smile.
"Are you alright?" Her mother asks worried. "You seem tired."
"Ah yes. I was doing exercise."
"You didn't sleep well did you?" Her mother points out.
"Not really." Santana confesses.
"That is really strange because you always sleep like an angel."
"Yeah well I have the right to have my insomnias too." Santana says with a forced smile.
"Are you better?" Maribel asks her daughter.
"Of what?" Santana asks confused.
"Yesterday. You were sick."
"Ah yes. Yes, I'm better." Santana lies.
Maribel smiles and then remembers "The toasts!" and rushes out the room.
Later that morning Brittany comes out of her room and sees her 'parents' eating breakfast and no Santana.
"Good morning sweety." Her father greets her.
"Good morning." Brittany sits down and pours some milk to her glass.
"Eat some of the toasts that Maribel made, they're really good." Her father says smiling.
"It smells really good too." Brittany adds. "Where's Santana?"
"She left early." Santana's mom replies. "Are you better?"
"Better?" Brittany asks confused.
"Yes. Weren't you sick yesterday?"
"Ah yes. I'm all better now. Thanks." Brittany lies.
"I don't know what happened with you and Santana to make you both sick at the same time." Maribel says.
"It must have been the school food." Daniel reasons.
"Yeah. It must have been." Brittany says quietly.
Meanwhile Santana is at Puck's house kicking a ball back and forward while waiting for Puck. After awhile Puck comes out and walks towards Santana.
"You woke up early today." Puck points out.
"I hardly slept." Santana confesses.
"Do you wanna tell me why?" Santana shakes her head no. "Did you eat breakfast already?"
"I'm not hungry." Santana shrugs. "Do you wanna a lift for school?"
"I already told Quinn that I would meet her and then I would go with her to school." Puck says apologetically.
"It's cool. I'm gonna go for a spin before school. See you later Puck." Santana gets up and walks towards her bike.
"She's not well." Puck says to himself while seeing his best friend speeding off.
Later that day Santana is sitting with Puck at a table in the cafeteria while stealing glances from Brittany that is sitting with Quinn two tables in front of her. Brittany is unusually quiet and Quinn notices it.
"Don't tell me you two argued again." Quinn says suspiciously.
"Who?" Brittany asks confused adverting her eyes from Santana to look at Quinn.
"You and my neighbor." Quinn says sarcastically. "Who do you think?! You and Santana of course."
"Santana? I don't care about her. I don't even remember she exists okay?" Brittany says rapidly. Quinn stares at her dumbfounded.
Meanwhile two tables down from them Santana is glancing at Brittany who's glancing back at her. She's snapped out of her staring by Puck's voice.
"You've been really strange all day. It's a girl isn't it?" Puck smirks.
"It's nothing! Just forget it." Santana says while glancing at Brittany and as she does so Brittany is exiting the cafeteria. Santana stands up and runs after her without saying anything to Puck who's left with a confused look on his face. Brittany is at her locker when she sees Santana. She closes her locker and walks away quickly.
"Brittany!" Santana calls after her. Brittany stops and turns around. "It's gonna be like this now?"
"Like what?" Brittany asks trying to act irritated but failing miserably.
"You're gonna run away from me every time you see me?" Santana asks a little hurt.
"I don't know. Maybe." Brittany says nervously.
"We can't stay like this just because of what happened."
"Sssh! Nothing happened, did you hear me?! Nothing happened!" Brittany walks away leaving a hurt Santana behind.
When Santana arrives home she walks straight to Brittany's room. She closes the door behind her, locks it and puts the key in her pocket. Brittany jumps at the sudden intrusion.
"What do you think you're doing?" Brittany asks irritated while standing up from the bed.
"We need to talk." Santana says seriously.
"No we don't. Give me the key Santana!"
"No. We're going to talk." Santana says not giving up.
"I don't want to!"
"But I want to Brittany! I'm going crazy here." Santana says desperately.
"You just have to forget what happened Santana and move on." Brittany says quietly.
"What if I can't?" Santana points out.
"You have to. Because what happened can't happen again."
"Why? What was so wrong with it?" Santana asks looking directly into Brittany's bright blue eyes.
"We're sisters." Brittany replies avoiding eye contact with Santana's beautiful brown eyes.
"We're not sisters and you know it!" Santana says defensively.
"I…I-" Brittany is interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Brittany? Are you in there?" Maribel asks behind the closed door.
"Yes Maribel. Do you need anything?" Brittany asks kindly.
"Can you help me with the groceries dear?"
"Sure. I'll be right out." Brittany replies and listens to Santana's mom walking towards the front door. "This is why nothing can happen between us ever again." Brittany says with pain visible in her voice, takes the key from Santana's pocket and walks out the door. After a few minutes Santana walks out as well and goes to her room to try and distract herself from her thoughts and feelings towards a certain blue eyed blonde beauty.
