Chapter 32 - New Year's Eve Shenanigans

"I don't want to." Santana whined.

"But we have to."

"But why can't we just stay up here and have our own little New Year's Eve party."

"But I have to go and socialize. It's all my family and friends down there." Brittany reasoned.

"Whhhhy?" Santana whined again.

"Beeeecauuuusse." Brittany whined back. "I have to."

Brittany patted Santana, who was curled up on the bed, on the knee. Santana wiggled around so she could look at Brittany's face. "Hey."

"What?" The brunette pouted.

"You want some cheese with that whine. Cuz I know there is some downstairs." Brittany chuckled.

The blonde held out her hand. "Come on let's go downstairs. It will be alright. Don't worry everyone will love you."

Santana took Brittany's hand and the blonde pulled her up into a sitting position. "How did you know?"

"That you were worried about what people would think of you. Come on Santana give me some credit. It's been your biggest worry since- since well forever."

"Yeah. You're right. I need to quit doing that." She squeezed Brittany's hand that was still holding hers.

"Yeah. You should quit worrying. It's stressful. And it's not good for you." Brittany agreed.

"Ok. Ok. Lets go downstairs." Santana said standing from the bed. She tugged on Brittany's hand for her to follow. The blonde stood up but didn't take a step. Santana watched her closely. "What?" She said when Brittany didn't move.

The blonde pulled Santana into her body wrapping her arms around the brunette's back. She leaned into Santana connecting their lips together. The kiss was slow and gentle. After several moment Brittany pulled away. Santana's eyes flickered open. "Wow." She gasped out searching for breathe. The blonde brought her right hand around running her thumb under Santana's bottom lip.

Brittany nodded. "Yep. Ready?" She wrapped her hand in Santana's as they moved towards the bedroom door.


"Hey." Liz said as she walked up to Santana. The brunette was sitting on a folding chair in the corner of the room.

Santana spit the mouthful of soda she had in her mouth back into her red plastic cup. "Hey." She sputtered and coughed to clear her throat.

Liz chuckled at Santana. "Did I startle you?" Santana covered her mouth and nodded unsure of her voice. "Okay. Well what are you doing sitting over her all by yourself?"

Santana shrugged and looked down at the floor. "I don't know anyone here. It's a little awkward. I talked to a few people but- I don't know."

"Okay. Do you mind if I sit with you? This party is lame."

"Sure. Whatever." Liz took a seat next to Santana and took a sip of her drink. Santana watched the blonde next to her with curiosity. "What are you drinking?"

"Just Mountain Dew. Mom and Dad said I'm not allowed to have any alcohol. Making this party even lamer." Liz said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"You?"

"Captian and Coke. The usual I guess."

"Oh. So where's Brittany?" Liz asked. She figured that her sister would have been attached to Santana's hip all night. They were hardly ever apart since they had arrived. She found in strange that Brittany wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Don't know." Santana said blankly. "Haven't seen her in about 15 minutes." She took another drink of her beverage.

"So your just sitting here all by yourself?" Liz asked.

"Yeah." Santana's brow scrunched together. "What is this 20 questions?"

"No. Sorry. I was just curious." She gave Santana an apologetic smile. "I can go find her for you. She probably just got caught up talking to somebody. You know how she is. She's friends with everyone and has to stop and talk to them all."

"No that's okay. I will just sit here and wait. I don't mind."

Liz looked at her curiously trying to figure out what to do or say next. "Okay suit yourself. I'm going to find my friend Sara she said she was going to come tonight. Maybe it will be a little less lame then." Liz stood up and walked across the room. She turned her head and threw Santana a smile before disappearing out of her sight.


"Brittany." Liz called as she finally spotted her sister.

"Brittany." She yelled as she approached the taller blonde.

Brittany turned in the direction of where she heard someone calling her name. She saw her sister walking in her direction. "Brittany." Liz said once more when she was within five feet of Brittany.

Brittany furrowed her brow at her sister. "What?" She asked wondered why her sister was taking this opportunity to bother her. Liz stepped up next to Brittany. "I'm talking to someone. What do you want now?" Brittany snapped.

Liz took a step back and shook her head back and forth once. "Woah. Calm down sis. No need to get bitchy at me." She paused trying to think of a way to say what she wanted to say.

"Well?" Brittany said impatiently. She had all the patience in the world except when it came to her little sister.

"Uh- how long have you been in here? In the kitchen?" Liz asked.

Brittany shrugged and thought for a second. "A little while. 10-15 minutes maybe. Why?"

"I was just in the other room. I was talking to somebody. They were sitting all alone in the corner of the room sipping on their drink. They looked kind of sad or bummed. They looked like they weren't have a very good time. They looked like they could use some company. Some cheering up."

"So." Brittany said totally not catching on to what her sister was saying.

"I was thinking that maybe you know them and that you could be the one to give them some company and probably cheer them up." Liz went on.

Brittany looked at her sister inquisitively. "Well who is it?"

"Um- let me see. This person is short." She chuckled.

"Do you find this little game funny cuz I don't." Brittany said annoyed.

"Okay. Okay. Brunette. Almost a sleek black sometimes. Big brown eyes." Brittany squinted at her sister trying to picture the description of this mystery person. "Dark uh- caramel colored skin. She-"

"Shit Santana. I completely forgot. I'm such a terrible girlfriend." Brittany panicked. She went to step around Liz to go find Santana. "Where is she?"

Liz grabbed her by the arm and looked her straight in the eyes. "We didn't have this conversation. Understood?" Brittany nodded and Liz let go of her sister's arm. "She's in the family room. Like I said- in the corner."

Brittany moved through the crowd of people standing about the kitchen. Bumping into some of them in her hurried state. She didn't seem to care though. All she cared about at that moment was finding Santana and apologizing to her for stranding her for so long.

Originally Brittany had been in the family room with Santana. They were talking and have a good time. But an old friend caught Brittany's attention. She told Santana that she was going to go say hi to her friend and that she would be back in a minute. Brittany went over to her friend and got lost in their conversation and somehow ended up in the kitchen.

Brittany entered the family room and scanned the room for any sign of her girlfriend. But there were way to many people in the room. There was no way she could see through them all. She began making her way through the room. Liz said the corner of the room, right? Halfway across the room she called out Santana's name. She still couldn't see the brunette. She couldn't hear much for that matter either. The room was filled was music. And everybody talking over said music.

"Santana." Brittany shouted.

Santana sat up straighter in her chair. She had thought she heard someone calling her name but she couldn't be sure because of the noise in the room. She slumped back down in her chair taking a drink from her cup. Seeing there wasn't much left she tilted her head and the cup back emptying the last of her drink into her mouth. She brought the cup back down and sighed audibly. "What a fun night." She said under her breath.

"Santana." Brittany said once she moved through enough people to see the Latina sitting on a folder chair. The brunette didn't hear Brittany and she didn't see her approaching either as she was staring contently down at the floor in front of her.

Brittany sat down in the chair next to Santana. The same chair Liz had been sitting in not 15 minutes before. She reached out her hand and placed it gently on Santana's thigh. She gave it a squeeze. Santana's eyes moved from the floor to her leg where Brittany's hand was. Then up Brittany's arm to shoulder before reaching her face. Santana's stared at her waiting for Brittany to say something. She didn't have much to say to Brittany so she wasn't going to say anything at all. She understood that Brittany probably knew everyone in the room and wanted to spend time with them and talk to them and catch up with them. Santana wasn't going to interrupt that.

"Hey babe." Brittany started. "Are you having fun?" She tried knowing that Santana wasn't. The brunette shook her head. "I'm sorry."

Santana shook her head again. "No. Don't be."

"What no I am sorry. I left you all alone while I went off and talked to all of my friends. That's not right. At the very least I could have brought you along and introduced you to everyone. I feel like such a terrible girlfriend. What was I thinking?" She finished more directed to herself than anything.

"You weren't." Santana stated.

Brittany shook her head. "You're right. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking. And that's the problem. I should have thought about you. I should have thought about the fact that you don't know anyone here with the exception of my sister and parents. I should have been with you. I should have introduced you to everyone that I know. I should have-"

"Stop." Santana interrupted her. "Stop beating yourself up about it. I'm fine with it. I understand. I do. I get it. You were all excited to catch up with everyone you know. Look Brittany." She turned so she was facing the blonde. "I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself."

"Then why do you look so sad?" Brittany asked.

"I was just kinda bored and I wasn't sure where you were. I mean I could have gotten up to find you but I didn't want to intrude."

"I'm sorry." Brittany said again.

"Hey." Santana brought her hands up and cupped Brittany's cheeks. She ran her thumbs softly over the blondes cheek bones. "No more apologizing. Let's just enjoy the rest of the night." She leaned in and pressed her lips to Brittany's. Brittany hummed into the kiss in agreement.

When Brittany pulled away from the kiss she stood up abruptly and held out her hand for Santana to take. Santana looked up at Brittany quizzically and then back down at the hand in front of her. "What are you doing?" Santana asked.

"May I have this dance, Ms. Lopez?" Brittany said politely. A playful smile on her face.

Santana smiled and giggled at Brittany's silliness. "Ah there's that beautiful smile. Much better. So may I?" She asked again.

Santana rolled her eyes and took Brittany's hand. The blonde pulled Santana to her feet. Brittany twirled Santana's around eliciting a little squeal from the Latina. "Britt." Santana chastised once she was spun around to face Brittany again.

"What? I can't help it." She grinned at Santana. Again Santana rolled her eyes and shook her head.

They danced around in slow circles for a while. Minutes passed and a few songs passed too. They didn't talk. They didn't need to. They just danced. A slower song came on and Brittany slowed down their movements to match the beat of the song. There were only a handful of other couples dancing but that didn't matter. Brittany and Santana were off in their only little world.

Brittany hands rested gently on Santana's lower back. She slowly rocked them back and forth to the music. Santana had her arms snaked up around Brittany's shoulders. Her hands clasped together on the back of the blondes neck. Santana leaned forward and rested her head on Brittany's shoulder facing her neck. She sighed out before moving inches and pressing her lips to the crook of Brittany's neck. She nuzzled into that spot staying there as they swayed back and forth.

Brittany breathed in sharply at the unexpected gesture. She craned her neck to look down at Santana. She wrapped her arms tighter around the brunette reveling in the closeness. She looked around the room as an idea came to her. "Hey." She said getting Santana's attention. The brunette lifted her head off of Brittany so she could look at her. Brittany smiled gently down at Santana before taking a step back away from her.

Santana brow furrowed together in confusion. Brittany's hands moved from Santana's back. And Santana had to let go of her hold around Brittany's neck. Brittany took one of the brunettes hands in hers and turned around pulling Santana behind her. She cut through the throngs of people. She led Santana threw the sea of people. Finally breaking out into the hallway that wasn't filled with guests.

She moved in the direction of the stairs still with Santana's hand in hers but not pulling her along anymore. Santana was next to her as they ascended the stairs. The brunette not sure what was happening but never questioning Brittany about it.

Once Brittany reached 'her room' she pushed the door open. She took a step back holding out her arm gesturing for Santana to enter first. The Latina smiled at Brittany before stepping into the room. Brittany followed directly behind her. She shut the door and spun around to lock it. She turned back to Santana with a specific look in her eyes. Santana smiled warmly at Brittany. "What are we doing up here? It's almost midnight. We're gonna miss the New Year." Santana asked curiously.

Brittany shook her head. She took a couple of step until she was directly in front of Santana. "I have a better idea." She said bringing her hand up and brushing the hair away from Santana's face. Her hand came back to cup Santana's cheek. She leaned in taking the brunette's lips with hers.

Brittany took a step into Santana. Then another forcing Santana to step backwards towards the bed. Brittany holding Santana's face in her hands never breaking their kiss.

When Santana's legs hit the side of the bed she stumbled backwards taking a seat on the bed. Effectively breaking their kiss. Brittany stood over Santana smirking down at the brunette. She bent over quietly and pecked Santana's lips before standing up straight and grabbing the hem of her shirt and pulling it up and over her head.

Santana watched in amazement. "Are you sure about this?" She said her voice lower than it had been previously. "I mean are you ready? Your ribs don't hurt anymore, right?" Brittany shook her head. "B-but what a-about everyone- downstairs?" Santana stuttered as Brittany unbuttoned her jeans. The blonde slid her pants down her legs before stepping out of them. She stepped up to the bed placing one knee on either side of Santana's hips. Basically sitting in the Latina's lap.

"Shut up and kiss me." Brittany husked and leaned in to connect their lips once again. Santana wasn't going to protest. How could she when Brittany was sitting in her lap nearly naked.

Their kissed grew heated. It wasn't long before Brittany was pulling Santana shirt over her head. She looked over Santana's torso before pushing her back. Santana fell against the bed with an 'oomph'. Her eyes grew wide at Brittany as the blonde loomed over her. Brittany pressed each of her hands to the bed on either side of Santana's head. She leaned down attacking Santana's neck with her lips. Santana let out a moan as Brittany somewhat aggressively bit nipped and sucked at Santana's neck.

The brunette's hand ran up and down the length of Brittany strong back. She stilled her hands on Brittany's hips. "Britt." She groaned. Brittany didn't even flinch. She just kept up her assault. "Brittany." Santana said with a little more urgency.

The blonde lifted her head away from Santana's neck to look into her eyes. "Hmm?" She raised an eyebrow in question.

Santana shook her head. "I'm not complaining but this-" She waved her hand around. "-it's just all so fast. I need a second, okay?" She took in a deep breath. Brittany nodded and sat up before rolling off of Santana.

Santana ran her hands through her hair letting out her breath with a loud huff. It had been a long time since they had done anything like this and Santana needed a minute to calm down and wrap her head around it. She closed her eyes and rubbed her face with her hands.

"We don't have to if you don't want to." Brittany whispered from next to her.

Santana opened her eyes and looked at Brittany. "No. No. I want to. I want to so bad. It's just a little overwhelming. We haven't had sex since before your accident. Before I told you that I loved you. So yeah. But its different now. Things are different. My emotions are different. It isn't just sex anymore. It means so much more than that. You understand what I'm saying?"

"Yep. Got it. But you do know that that makes it a billion times better, right?"

Santana nodded. "Yeah you're right." She scooted up so that she was lying on the bed properly. She looked over at Brittany. The blonde looked into Santana's eyes just waiting for her to be ready for her to make the first move.

She reached out her arm. "Get over here you goofball." She motioned with her fingers for Brittany to move closer to her.

Brittany smiled brightly at her before shifting across the bed to straddle Santana's hips. "Can I take these off now?" Brittany asked pointing down at Santana's pants. Santana giggled and nodded at the same time.

Brittany undid the button of the pants and then the zipper before look up to Santana silently telling her to lift her butt so she could pull the pants off. Brittany positioned herself between Santana's legs. She crawled up the brunettes body kissing her on the lips before moving downwards.

Brittany kissed along Santana's jaw until she reached her ear. Pausing their few a seconds sticking her tongue out and licking the shell of the Latina's ear. She blew a soft puff of air into Santana's ear making the brunette squirm beneath her. She then sucked on her earlobe causing a moan to escape Santana's lips.

Brittany smirked against the skin of Santana's neck just below her ear. She kissed her way down Santana neck making her way to her pulse point. Sucking on that spot hard before darting her tongue out of her mouth licking over the spot gently. Brittany moved down to Santana's collarbone kissing across to the middle of her chest. Then down the valley in between her breasts.

When Brittany reached her stomach she immediately glided her tongue around Santana's bellybutton. The brunette giggled. "Britt stop it. That tickles." Brittany smiled against her stomach before moving farther south. She kissed over Santana's underwear. Her hands running up and down the length of Santana's thighs.

She wrapped the index fingers of both of her hands under the band of Santana's underwear looking up at the brunette for permission. Santana nodded and Brittany removed the garment from Santana's body. Brittany took in the woman in front of her in awe. This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She thought as she crawled up the bed and kissed Santana fiercely before slinking back to where she wanted to be.

Brittany ran two fingers over Santana's folds. She bucked her hips searching for more friction. Brittany respond by running her thumb over that sensitive bundle of nerves. Santana took in a sharp gasp of air. When she slowly breathed it out the blonde continues with her motions. Running her fingers through Santana's soaking folds once more before entering her with two fingers. Santana gasped before rocking her hips up into Brittany's hand.

Brittany lowered her face to Santana darting her tongue out flicking it against her clit. Another moan escaping Santana mouth as she bucking hard up into Brittany's face. Brittany brought her free hand to Santana's stomach and pressed down against it holding the brunette still. She circled Santana's clit with her tongue. "Shit Britt." She whimpered. Brittany smiled pressing into Santana with her lips. Wrapping them around her clit and sucking on it.

Santana started squirming more underneath Brittany. A sign to Brittany that Santana was close. Brittany pumped her finger in and out of Santana with a steady rhythm. Santana rocking her hips trying to match that same rhythm her moans getting louder with each thrust.

With a few more pumps of Brittany's fingers Santana began to come undone. "Brittannnny." Santana moaned out as the blonde curled and stilled her fingers inside of Santana. With one more flick of Brittany's tongue Santana's orgasm hit her hard.

Brittany scooted up Santana's body until they were face to face. She kissed Santana once on the lips before peppering her face with light kisses. Her cheeks, her nose, her forehead before returning to her lips. She removed her fingers from inside Santana a shudder running through the brunettes body as she did so.

Brittany laid down next to Santana and rested her head on the girls chest with her ear to her heart. She wrapped her arm around Santana's stomach before turning her head and kissing the spot on her chest over her heart. She rested her head back down and listened as Santana's breathing returned to normal and her heart rate slowed.

Once Santana caught her breath she leaned her head down and kissed the top of Brittany's head. "I love you so much Britt." She murmured.

Brittany nodded into her chest. "I know. And I love you too." She looked over at the clock and smiled. "Santana."

"Yeah."

"It's 12:04. Happy New Year." She said and lifted her head to kiss Santana.

"Happy New Year babe." Santana said before kissing Brittany again. "That's the best way I've ever rung in the New Year." She said with a cheeky smile.

"I bet."

"Maybe we should make it a New Year's tradition." Santana suggested.

"I like the sound of that." Brittany said drawing little circles with her fingers on Santana's stomach.

"Hey do you think anyone realized that we were missing?"

Brittany shook her head. "I don't really care. This was the best way to ring in the New Year. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way."

"Agreed." Santana said with a smirk even though Brittany couldn't see it. "Nowwwww." She drew out.

"Now what?" Brittany asked.

"Now it's your turn." Santana said shifting around until she was on top of Brittany.

So that's another chapter. I really liked this one. It didn't turn out exactly how I had imagined but it's close. Hope everyone enjoyed.
