-So I wasn't gonna put this chapter up until tomorrow but I'm feeling generous. It's probably my favorite chapter thus far. Enjoy.
Chapter 6 - Date Night
When I walk in the spot, this is what I see, ok.
Everybody stops and they staring at me.
Santana buried her head further into her pillow.
I got a passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it, show it, show it, show it.
"Ugh who the hell is calling me?" Santana groaned.
I'm sexy and I know it.
"Shut up stupid phone. Just let me sleep." Rolling over further away from where her phone sat on the nightstand. Why do I have that song as my ringtone anyway. Its super annoying. Oh yeah stupid Puckerman did it. I'll make sure to change it later.
I'm sexy and I know it.
"Fine. Hold your horses." She rolled over and grabbed the phone off the nightstand and answered it.
"What?" She growled.
"Santana. Is that you?"
"Yeah it's me. Who the hell is this?" Santana threatened.
"Brittany."
"Oh sorry. I didn't recognize your voice." Wiping the sleep out of her eyes.
"Is this a bad time? You sound kind of angry. If it is I can call you back another time."
"Uh no its not a bad time. Wait what time is it?"
"12:07. Why?" Brittany questioned.
"Um I was sleeping."
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I never even thought that you might be sleeping. It is past noon afterall. Sorry I will let you get back to sleep then. Bye."
"No Brittany wait." Santana practically shouted into the phone.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you call?" Then Santana remember the date. "About the date right?"
"Yeah but I can talk to you about that later. You should go back to sleep. Sorry I interrupted." Brittany explained.
"No just tell me about the date. I'm up now. Besides I should have been getting up soon anyway."
"Ok so does Sunday late-afternoon work for you?"
Sunday. Sunday. What day is today? Santana tried to figure out.
"You mean Sunday as in tomorrow?"
"Yeah oh I guess that is tomorrow. Does it work?"
"Yep sure does. So what do you have planned?"
Brittany thought carefully before responding not wanting to reveal to much. "Well I can't tell you silly. It's a secret." She said in a playful voice. "But what I will tell you is- meet me outside the bar at 4pm. Ok?"
"That's it?" the brunette asked curiously. "Ok."
"Ok great. It's a date then. I gotta go. See you tomorrow at 4. Bye." With that Brittany ended the call.
Santana threw the phone on the bed somewhere. She rolled back over and covered her head with a pillow. What in the world does Blondie have planned? I hope she isn't some sort of lunatic who thinks it's fun to go bungee jumping on a date. Wait can you even do that in NYC? Nevermind that what are we gonna do? Are we going somewhere to eat? Do I have to dress nice? Shit I don't have very many nice clothes? What have I gotten myself into? Don't worry about it now Santana just go back to sleep.
Santana looks around and then looks at her watch. 4:01 She's late. She had been standing outside of NP's for 5 minutes now. No sign of Brittany anywhere. Maybe she's standing me up. Maybe she realized that I was bad news. Maybe she couldn't-
"Hi Santana sorry I'm running a little late. I had to finish up a few things before heading over." Brittany said with an apologetic smile. She looked Santana up and down taking in her appearance. Santana was wear black jeans and a leather jacket with a simply gray t-shirt. Santana noticed this and began to worry that she was underdressed.
"What am I underdressed? Are we going somewhere fancy? I could run home quick and change if we are?" Santana began to panic.
Brittany laughed lightly and put her hand on Santana's elbow. "No it's fine. I like what you're wearing actually. And no we are not going anywhere fancy. Just relax."
"Ok sorry I wasn't sure what to wear. Actually I'm not sure what I'm doing really. I'm not exactly a pro at dating or anything. I mean I don't have a whole lot of experience. I'm actually kinda nervous." Santana explained.
"That's ok. No pressure. Just relax it will be fine. I promise. Plus I'm not a pro at dating either. I'm not an escort." Brittany smirked.
Santana laughed at Brittany's little joke. "You're funny. So what are we doing tonight?"
"Nuh-uh don't think you're gonna get it out of me that easily." Brittany teased.
"Ok fine." Santana gave in.
Brittany held out her left hand. "If I may?" Asking for Santana hand. Santana looked down at Brittany's hand hesitating momentarily before reaching out her right hand. "Ok now come with me." Brittany instructed leading them down the sidewalk.
"So first we are going to get something to eat." She said looking over at Santana as they walked.
"Ok so where are we eating?" Santana questioned.
"Um I can never remember the name of the place but it's my favorite place to eat at." Brittany smiled at Santana. "They serve breakfast all day. And I love their waffles. They're great." Santana smiled back at Brittany's enthusiasm.
They got to the restaurant and went in to get a booth. The waitress came up to get their drink order and then left to get their drinks.
Brittany set her menu down looking over at Santana. "So what are you going to have?"
"I don't know yet. What's good?" she asked Brittany.
"The waffles duh." Smiling a toothy grin at Santana.
"Ok I know that but what else?"
"It's all pretty good. I really like there burgers." Pausing for a second. "So what do you think about this place?"
Santana looked around the restaurant. "It's nice. Quiet. Not to many people in here. I like it."
"Ok good."
The waitress came back and took their order. They sat there and talked while they waited for their food to arrive. The food came and they each ate their meals. Brittany order waffles and Santana did also seeing as they came so highly recommended. They finished their meals and Brittany paid. They walked out of the diner back onto the NYC streets.
"So how were your waffles?" Brittany leaned in towards Santana.
"You are right they have great waffles. I will definitely be going back there in the future for more." She said with a chuckle.
"Good I'm glad you liked them. Now I can call part one of our date a success." She gave Santana a wink. "Come on follow me." Walking away from the restaurant.
"Where are we going now?"
"Um- can't tell you- secret."
They walked down the street a few block before coming across a park. They walked around the park for a while before finally coming to rest on a park bench.
"This is nice." Santana commented once they sat down. "It's so peaceful and calming. Even in the middle of NYC."
"Yeah I know. I come here when I need a break from the hectic nature of the city or when I need to clear my head."
They sat there in comfortable silence for a while just letting the peacefulness overtake them. Brittany eventually broke the silence. "So how about we head on to the next part of our date." She said standing up. Holding out her hand once again. This time Santana took it immediately. They walked slowing hand in hand out of the park.
Santana looked up at Brittany as they walked out of the park. "Brittany how do you know about this little park?"
"I only live two blocks from here. I stumbled across it the day after I moved in. I was stressed out from moving so I went for a walk and 'ta da' there was this park."
Santana smiled at the way Brittany said 'ta da'. "So where to now?"
"Um my apartment." Brittany said with a sly grin on her face. Santana stopped dead in her tracks. Brittany stopped and looked down at the brunette to see that she had a shocked look on her face. "Don't worry I'm not going to try to take advantage of you on the first date." With that Santana took a step forward to continue walking. "I'll save that for the second date." Santana stopped again. Brittany laughed. "I'm just kidding silly." Looking for Santana reactions. A small smile appeared. Brittany continued. "Lets go."
They reached Brittany's building and got in the elevator. Brittany pushed the button that was labeled roof. "We're going to the roof?" Santana wondered.
"Yep I have a little something planned up there. I think you'll like it. Well I hope you will."
Santana gave her a questioning look. Like what do you have up your sleeve. They reached the roof and the doors opened to the night sky. In one corner of the roof were two patio lounge chairs. In between the chairs was a small table. On the table was a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. There was a second table set slightly behind the table and chairs. There was a fondue pot filled with chocolate on it. Sitting next to the pot was a container of strawberries.
"Holy shit Brittany." Santana blurted out looking around at what was set up in front of them. They walked over to the chairs and Santana took a seat.
"So would you like a glass of wine?" the blonde asked.
"Yes please that sounds nice."
"Coming right up." Brittany pulled the cork out of the bottle of wine. "So as you can see we have wine." Holding up the bottle. "And back there" Nodding towards the second table. "We have chocolate fondue and strawberries for dipping." Brittany handing Santana a glass of wine. "I thought that we could sit out here under the stars for a while." Pouring herself a glass. "And have a little snack maybe." She said with a little giggle.
"Well I must say that I never expected this. I had no idea what to expected really. I'm impressed."
"Why thank you. It took me a while to get all this stuff up here. That's why I was running late meeting you earlier. But I hope this makes up for that."
"It definitely does."
They had a couple glasses of wine and talked for a while. Eventually dipping into the chocolate and strawberries.
"Brittany?"
"Yeah?"
"Um- I just want to say- uh this is the best date I've even been on. Uh- usually I go out on a date and it's just dinner or dinner and a movie. Nothing special really. This is different then anything I've ever done on a date. Thank you." Santana said shyly.
"No need to thank me. I just put together a bunch of things that I enjoy and hoped you would enjoy too. Simply as that. I wanted you to see a few of my favorite places. The diner and the park. I wanted to share that with you." Brittany said with a bright smile.
"Well it was amazing. To be honest I was nervous about this whole date thing. Dates never go well for me. They usually end with never seeing or speaking to the other person again. I don't have a good track record." Santana stopped to take a drink of her wine. Brittany watched her waiting for her to continue. "I think my longest relationship was like five weeks. Anyway no ones ever done anything like this for me on a date. It's kinda romantic actually. I mean with the chairs on the roof and the fondue. I feel like I'm in a movie or dreaming or something."
"Not a dream. This is for realz." Brittany laughed. "And I am glad that you liked it. So does that mean I get a second date with you?" Brittany asked wiggling her eyebrow at Santana.
Santana laughed at Brittany's actions. "Hmmm. Let me think." Santana put a her index finger on her chin pretending to think. "Ok I guess."
"Yay." Brittany clapped and jumped out of her seat excited. She went over to the other chair and held out her hand for Santana to take. Once she took Brittany's hand she was pulled up out of the chair by the blonde. Brittany pulled her over to the wall at the edge of the building. They both looked over the side. "Pretty neat huh?" She looked over at Santana who was looking down at the ground. "The people look so tiny. They're like ants but they're not cause they're people."
Santana looked back at Brittany and just shook her head back and forth at her. They were now looking at each other. "Tonight was prefect Brittany."
"It was pretty darn good." the blonde stated leaning in towards Santana and kissing her. Santana was shocked. But after a beat she kissed back. It was a simply kiss really. Santana pulled away from Brittany. They looked a each other with shy smiles on their faces. Both blushing slightly. Brittany sensing the nervousness asked "was that ok? I didn't want to overstep my bounds. But I couldn't help it I just had to kiss you."
"No it's fine. I just didn't expect it. That's all." Santana looked down at the ground. "I had a great time tonight but I think I should get home."
"Oh- ok." Brittany thought. Crap. I shouldn't have kissed her. It was too soon. I hope I didn't scare her off by doing that. Crap.
"Let me walk you out." Santana glanced back up at Brittany and gave her a small smile before heading towards the roof door. They got in the elevator and headed down to the lobby. Neither one said anything during the ride down. Once the elevator got to the bottom floor they stepped out and walked towards the front door of the building. Stopping in front of the door Santana turned around to face Brittany.
"I'll call you about our second date. Ok?" She said to Brittany. Brittany smiled and nodded her head up and down. "Ok."
"Ok." She placed her right hand on the blondes shoulder stood up on her toes and kissed Brittany on the cheek. "Goodnight Britt." She turned around and pushed the door open and was gone.
Brittany stood there for a while after Santana walked out of sight. Holy crap. Guess I didn't blow it. Did she call me Britt? Holy crap. What a great night. She turned and got back in the elevator.
Santana walked home with a wide smile on her face thinking about the nights events. Wow. That date was perfect. No it was amazing. Shit Blondie is great. Shit did I just call her Britt. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. I don't know the last time I was this happy. Probably as a little kid on Christmas morning.
Let me know what you think.
Oh and I just finished writing chapter 11 so there's plenty more to come.
