a/n (1): Congratulations j for passing the exam! i never doubted you. :)


BRITTANY'S POV

"Aren't you going on a trip today? What are you still doing here?" Nick asked as he was descending from the stairs near our kitchen while he looked for something to eat for breakfast. I was sitting unmoving at the table for the past 30 minutes or so, having an inner debate with myself. I can already feel my legs numbing for the lack of movement.

"Where are your bags?" He asked again looking around the small kitchen. I didn't answer him. The truth is I haven't packed anything at all. "Hey sis! Are you even paying attention to me?" He irritatably asked when I still ignored him. He let out a loud sigh and sat beside me.

"Can you please tell me what your problem is?" I looked at him with sad eyes and I guess he understood it because he asked me the right question. "Is this about… her?"

I nodded slowly, still spaced out from all the thinking I've done the whole night. He sighed loudly again as he grabbed my hands to get my full attention.

"Sis, I know how you feel about her." My eyes widened with shock. He smiled knowingly and continued. "Don't worry, I didn't tell Quinn and I won't tell." I sighed with relief. "And do you think she'll allow you to go in this trip if she knew?"

I shook my head and whispered lowly, "I'm scared."

"Of what?" I gave him a you-should-know-why look. I saw a change in his facial features as he shifted on his seat. "I know you're having a hard time right now and I also know how much you love Quinn. All our lives, we always try to please her and make her happy. Especially you. I see how you struggle and try so hard just so she can be proud of you that it's not really healthy anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love Quinn too as much as you do but…"

Tears are threatening to fall from my eyes. I can't believe Nick is giving me this lecture but I'm thankful. "This time I want you to follow your heart. Just this once. Do the thing that makes you happy not because you want Quinn to be happy but because of yourself." He rubbed my hands on his own. "Don't be stupid sis. Again, I know you love Quinn but I also love you. I want nothing more to see you happy as well."

My tears were now flowing freely from my eyes. I gave Nick a huge hug and hen reciprocated it. "I feel like I'm betraying her." I muttered to his shoulders while we were still holding each other.

He chuckled a bit and said, "Don't you think you're also betraying yourself?" It was my turn to laugh when what he said sunk in. We let go of each other and I booped him on his nose playfully. "You are one hell of a brother."

I stood up and kissed him hastily on the cheek. "Thanks Nick!" He wiped his cheeks in a hurry with disgust. I laughed as I rushed towards my room to get my stuff packed. I don't have much time.

Then, Nick yelled, "Want some help?"

"Yeah!" I shouted back. I'm gonna make the most of this trip.


SANTANA'S POV

I watched Kurt pace back and forth impatiently, my arms crossed on my chest. We were outside our office building waiting for Brittany to arrive. Kurt's pacing and the thought of Britt not coming made me feel super annoyed and pissed at this whole thing so I couldn't help but be a bitch to everyone.

"Could you please settle down? And can we just go now? Seriously. I don't think she's coming." I almost yelled. He glared at me for adding more stress to him and he looked at Sam who was trying to call a certain blonde for the last hour.

"Just give her 15 minutes more." Sam said calmly, trying to avoid a fight. "She'll be here."

"15 more minutes? She's been late for an hour! If this was a case, it would go to shit! And what makes you say she's gonna come huh?" I countered.

"Look, this is not related to law so stop comparing. Besides, she owes me." Sam said confidently which made me madder. When did he talk back like this? And what does he mean Brittany owes him? Is that supposed to mean she's coming in this trip because of this trouty mouth? Ugh! Now I'm wishing she doesn't show up if ever that's the reason.

I scoffed loudly to show my irritation and disagreement. "This trip sucks. Who planned this thing anyway? No one told me about this! And I can't remember I approved!"

Kurt's glare became scarier with all my complaining. "I did Santana. Remember that day we were in the café and I was talking about to you about something but you weren't listening to me? You just kept staring at your phone like an idiot and you just nodded your like a bobbing figurine!" He didn't try to hide his annoyance in his voice. I scowled at him but didn't say anything more.

Oh yeah, I remember that day. That was when I was waiting a reply from Brittany the whole day but she didn't send me one. The memory made my mood worse. So I decided to get inside the van to ignore these stupid people outside.

Just as when I was boarding the vehicle, I heard Kurt squeal and said, "She's here! I told you she's coming!" I looked around for the person I was most anxious to see. And there she was, her blonde hair glowing in the sunlight, wearing thick sunglasses that almost covered her face and sporting the sexiest beach outfit I ever seen. Damn her. Why does she have to be this attractive?

She was flustered and out of breath, obvious that she hurried her way here. "I'm so sorry guys! I thought you already left." I heard her breathe out. She was so hot like that, all stressed and tired. Okay… Focus Santana! She went here for Sam remember?

I saw her greeting Sam cheerfully, and the guy was doing the same. I turned my head away from them and put my sunglasses on. I shook my head in disgust and glared at them through the side mirrors of the van.

Everyone hopped on the vehicle and we all set out to our 3-day company trip in a beach resort somewhere south. Meaning, far away from everything.


We've been travelling for about 2 hours now and everyone was fast asleep except for me and the driver. I was riding shotgun because I don't want anyone to invade my personal space. Well… except maybe for Brittany.

Speaking of Brittany, I can see her from the rear view mirror of the van, also in deep slumber. Her head was swaying from the movement of the vehicle together with the others. She was beside the car window and I'm afraid that she'll bump her head there. But she turned her head the other way and leaned it next to the person beside her, which thank God was Kurt. There will be bloodshed in here if Sam was sitting next to her.

Being in this 2 and a half hour journey was so boring that I would've whined the whole ride if Brittany wasn't here. Coz of course, though we're not seeing eye to eye right now, I still wanted to impress her. And being a whiny bitch in front of her is not really ideal. So I kept my mouth shut even though my ass really hurts from sitting for so long.

Everyone's awake now. The van was filled with laughter and music Kurt was singing along to. The song was a dance music I didn't know so I ignored it but Brittany was making it hard for me. She was dancing along to the song in a little way she can in the small space but I could tell she was letting herself drown in the beat.

I know all these because I'm giving her stolen glances from the mirror like earlier. She looked so much prettier when she's relaxed like this. But she was also pretty when she was stressed. So really. She looks beautiful all the time.

Brittany looked so happy like she doesn't have any problem in the world. I wish I could be like her. Who can still laugh despite all the pain and hardships I'm going through.

I tried my luck once more and threw another stolen glance at Brittany for the nth time. But this time, she caught me. We locked eyes for about three seconds before I looked away. Feeling embarrassed, I stirred myself to my seat and closed my eyes, letting myself envelop in a much needed sleep dreaming about those blue eyes I love so much.


"Santana wake up! We're here!" Kurt shook me awake as I felt the vehicle came to a stop. But I wanted more sleep so I moaned in frustration and mumbled, "Go away! I'm sleeping!" Kurt let go of my body, my shoulders to be exact, almost immediately. That would've been suspicious but at the moment because Kurt is stubborn as a kid could be but I didn't care. I need sleep and that's all that matters.

I felt relieved for a moment but suddenly, I felt another pair of hands touch me. They were unfamiliar and I can't help but be curious to who it belongs. It isn't Kurt or Sam because they were light and soft and I doubt my other subordinates would dare touch me especially when I'm in this state. So that leaves just one person.

My suspicions were cleared when I heard her say, "C'mon San, get up."

My eyes shot wide at the sound of her voice. Am I dreaming?

I struggled to get up from the cramped seat coz Brittany's face was so close to mine and I almost forgot how to breathe. Every feature in her face was so clear, especially those lips that I just want to grab her face to know how it feels like to get smitten by her.

"Let's go." She cheerfully said while taking a step back so I can get out.

I slid out of the van, not taking my eyes off her. Careful that's she's just a dream that would vanish if I moved too fast or even breathe too much. She's watching me amused. Maybe she's laughing at me inside because of my weird actions.

I can't help it. There's something about her that made me feel nervous and at ease at the same time. Maybe because it's her warm smile or how different she's looking at me right now.

After what it feels like an eternity of me standing there and staring at her (I didn't dare move because I'm afraid it will end), she stretched out her hand waiting for mine to take it.

I looked at her unsurely but she gave me an encouraging smile that my hand automatically reached out for hers. I grasped it lightly, cautious not to hurt her. I felt her grip tightened slightly, as he pulled me towards the direction of the beach. I let her guide me through the blazing sun which didn't exist for me at the moment because all I feel is the warmth of Brittany's hand intertwined with mine.

We reached the end of the ocean where I watched Brittany take off her sandals and ran towards the water. After a few seconds, she turned around and looked at me with (if I'm not mistaken and I'm not assuming) loving eyes.

It's all too much for me. If this is all true and really happening, I could die right here. If it's not, then this is pure torture. Why don't you all just kill me instead?

I gathered my courage, not thinking about if this was real or not, I called out her name. "Brittany!" She continued to stare at me with those blue eyes which make my heart melt while she returned to me, walking slowly. She stopped when our bodies were inches apart, still not breaking the eye contact.

"Brittany" I said once again.

"Brittany… I…"

"Sssh…" She exhaled while she placed her fingers lightly on my lips to stop me form talking. She slowly erased the gap between our faces and placed her forehead in mine. Her eyes were closed like she was savoring the moment while I felt her sweet breath on my face.

"Don't." She whispered softly. She lifted her and our met my gaze. "I want these three days to be perfect. I want us to forget everything for a while. Let's not think about our problems, the other people, and the whole world. Right now, you are the only person existing in my world and I want you to do the same."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Seriously, is this really happening? Please don't wake me up if ever I'm on a comma or just plain dead. Just pull the freaking plug and let me die. Coz this perfect. So freaking perfect.

I sighed and closed my eyes contentedly; soaking the feeling Brittany was giving me. Our hands were locked with each other as she pulled back from me. She stared intently and deeply to my eyes as she said, "I love you Santana Lopez."

"I love you too Brittany Pierce."
