Here's what you've missed on this story…
Brittany is pursuing law where she met Santana, a famous lawyer who is also her sister Quinn's ex girlfriend. She planned for revenge but she fell in love with Santana and now they are thinking of telling Quinn about their relationship.
BRITTANY'S POV
"A-are you sure?" Santana asked disbelievingly, mouth slightly hanging open. I bobbed my head slowly while pursing my lips. Although I haven't got the slightest clue on how to tell Quinn or what to say to her, these past three days made me feel confident and sure about how I felt. All I want is Santana to be with me, not only here in this paradise, hidden from everyone else, but also in the real world.
"Okay." Santana accepted. She's seemed to be skeptical but I know she feels nervous and excited at the same time. "Just remember, I will always be here for you. Whenever you're ready to tell Quinn, I'll be there. With you." She tilted her head, took my hand, and placed a soft loving kiss on it. "I'll fight for you."
As much as I wanted for her to, I'm seriously hoping that there won't be a need for fighting. But knowing Quinn, I doubt it.
"Remember Britt, if you're not ready yet, don't force yourself okay?" She said softly, trying to soothe me. It worked so I said, "Yeah. We'll wait for the right moment." She gave me a tight-lipped smile, nodded her head and said, "I'm willing to wait."
After that, I stayed quiet the entire ride back home. I was sitting in front of the van now with Santana and her hands never left mine. She cuddled with me in the little space we have and I can't help but feel all tingly inside. After awhile, she drifted to sleep and she leaned on my shoulder, making it her pillow. I smiled at the action and the feeling of fear I felt vanished momentarily. The thought of facing reality was too much for me but with Santana being all cute and mushy like this, I had the urge to also fight for her no matter what happens.
I'd do anything to be able to do this every single day.
"Hey I'm home!" I said as I emerged from the front door. The atmosphere was quite tense. Quinn was standing near the sofa while Nick was beside her, and beside him was…
"Oh hey Britt!" Quinn said cheerfully but clearly nervous. "Hey sis!" Nick also greeted. I scrunched up my eyebrows and I dropped my things unceremoniously. "Welcome back!" Quinn managed a quivering smile. The other person in the room also smiled at me, warmly, like she had known me for a very long time.
"Thanks?" I said unsure, staring back at the person. Before the thickening air of awkwardness blew up, Quinn finally said, "Uhh Britt, this is uhm… Rachel, my uhh… friend."
A petite woman held out her hand for me to take. She's no taller than Quinn, and she gave off this bossy aura which I found kinda annoying. There's something about her that made me feel irksome even though she hasn't said a word to me. She's somehow pretty, in her own way, but not prettier than Quinn, especially not as hot as Santana.
I stepped forward cautiously, weirded out by Quinn's tone and actions. I shook the woman's hand. "Hi. I'm Brittany."
"As I've been told. I'm Rachel Berry. Nice to finally meet you." She raved. I was surprised by her enthusiasm and high-pitched voice. I tried to offer her the best smile I could, despite my confusion. "Quinn's right. You look really pretty in person."
"Thank you." I said politely. "You don't look bad yourself." She thanked me back and I gave Quinn a questioning look. She just waved me off and gave me a smile, a beautiful one I might add. The one I haven't seen for a very long time. Not ever since Santana.
There was the awkward silence once again so Quinn decided to break it. "Right… I think we should go now." She grabbed her purse and headed towards the door, Rachel followed suit. "Dinner's on the table. Just heat in the microwave if you guys get hungry." Quinn hurriedly said as she reached for the keys and added, "I'm gonna be late so don't wait up for me. Take care of Nick Britt! See you guys!" And with that, they both disappeared out the door.
There was stillness in the room. My gaze shifted to Nick whose eyebrows were raised and has a goofy expression on his face. "Okaaay~ what was that?" I asked, grabbing my bag from the floor.
"What do you think sis?" Nick asked, somewhat challengingly.
I started arranging my stuff from the trip. "About what? The girl?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I dunno. Should I dwell on it?" I asked while my hands were busy sorting out my clothes, and souvenirs from the trip. "It's kinda weird for me though. Quinn never brought a friend home. And it they were really dressed up as if they were..." I trailed off while handing a shirt I bought for Nick. He looked at me as if I just solved a mystery which didn't need to be solved.
"Are you saying that…?" I asked and Nick seemed to understand coz he nodded. My eyes widened at the realization. "No way!" I said disbelievingly but my voice sounded too excited. "She's going on a date with that girl?"
"Uhuh!" Nick proudly agreed. "I never thought that this day would come!" He said as happily as I am.
"I know!" I said hugging him in excitement. He looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I may seem overreacting but I haven't felt this happy for Quinn ever since she found a job. She resented the idea of having a relationship with anyone after Santana. She firmly stated that she wouldn't enter in a relationship or even date for that matter, unless I have a stable job, while Nick is off to college. It's also not hard to imagine that she would set a standard for just about anyone who would have the guts to woo her. That Rachel Berry must be one heck of a woman to make Quinn change her mind.
"So?" Nick began, trying to fit the shirt I gave him on. "It doesn't bother you that she's dating a girl, again?"
"Of course not!" I said too quickly. Nick sported a smug smile and tonelessly said, "Right, coz you're also dating a girl."
I slapped him in his arm. "Ow! Sis! What was that for?" He cried out. "It's obvious that Santana also got lucky judging from your demeanor right now."
I hurriedly stood in front of our mirror near the living room. "What are you talking about?"
"Do you really want me to say that aside from that awesome tan you got, you have this glow in you and a sort of happiness in your eyes that wasn't there before you left?" I stared at my eyes for the longest time trying to see what Nick was talking about. Of course I didn't find anything unusual or different. So I retaliated innocently with, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Suddenly, I heard my phone ring and I hurriedly reached for it from my pockets but it wasn't there. I forgot that I left it on the table where Nick was currently sitting. He dove for it before I did and he took a glimpse of the person calling.
"Well, I think you're about to know what I'm talking about." He said with a smug look on his face which I returned with a scowl. He held out my phone and I snatched it hard from his hands. The frown on my face was rapidly replaced with a smile so wide it probably reached my ears.
"Hey baby."
"Hey." Just when I thought my smile couldn't get any wider, it did. Nick snickered and I threw him a warning glare. He walked away but I was careful for him not to hear what I'm saying.
"You home already?" Santana said from the other line.
"Yeah. How about you?" I asked.
"I just got home. I still went by the office to get some things."
"Oh okay!" I paused and mumbled shyly, "I miss you."
Even though I couldn't see it, I can feel Santana smiling at the other end. "I miss you more." I felt butterflies in my stomach, hearing those words coming from her lips. The raspiness of her voice didn't help either. "God, I wish you're here." She said. I giggled and said, "Me too."
"So…"
"So?" I repeated.
"Nothing... It's really funny coz I'm not used to doing things like this." She said quite shyly. I started going upstairs to my room after I finished arranging the stuff I used for the last three days, not forgetting to keep the sea shell Santana gave me instead of a promise ring. I like to think of it that way.
"Really? Not even to your other ladies?" I asked, intrigued. She scoffed in the other line, "Ew. No." I laughed at how she said it.
"You seem really happy today." She pointed out.
"Of course. I am. How about you?"
"I can't remember the last time I felt this happy." She said dreamily. I chuckled and then something in my mind clicked.
"Speaking of happy, I might have some news that could possibly add to your happiness."
I can feel her get excited. "Yeah? What is it?"
"Quinn just went out on a date." I told her. There was a pause. I waited for it to sink in. "And…?" She asked when I didn't continue. "I don't get it."
I rolled my eyes playfully and said, "I thought you're intelligent?" I didn't get a reply so I added, "I was thinking… Maybe it would be easier to tell Quinn about us if she's also in a relationship." There was another pause so explained myself further. "Meaning, if she's happy, she may understand our situation and she might actually consider us. What do you think?" I waited for her reaction to my idea.
"I don't know Britt…" I pouted at her words even though I know she couldn't see me. "But you have a point there. I just don't want you to get disappointed." When I didn't reply she said, "Still, I trust your judgment. Quinn is your sister and you know her better than I do. So… if that's your plan then, I'm for it."
The smile was back on my face and I think Santana felt relieved. "Thanks baby." I said timidly, the endearment still foreign on my tongue but it felt good to say it.
"Alright, I think you should rest. It's been a long day. See you tomorrow."
"See you San. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight. I love you Britt."
"I love you too."
SANTANA'S POV
I couldn't remember the last time I woke up feeling these positive vibes inside me. It's like I was reborn, a different person from whom I was before. Every thing seemed so perfect, every thing feels right. I see the world through a different perspective, like nothing could go wrong. It never felt so good to be alive. I don't even feel like I'm the cruel and heartless Attorney Santana Lopez anymore. Is this really what love does to a person?
I checked my phone after I brushed my teeth and found a message from the love of my life.
Good morning Atty. Lopez! Have a great day! :)
~Britt
Oh I will have a great day.
I felt a smile tug on my lips. I never smile in the morning! But because of a certain blonde girl, Well… Things change, people change, and I'm so glad I'm starting to… for the better.
I rushed through my morning chores, clearly excited to go to work. I felt like a stupid high school student making excuses to go to school early just so I can see the person I'm in love with and maybe spend some time with them. Well you know what, I don't freaking care.
The ride to the office was a blur and I practically brisk walked to the elevator. I impatiently waited for the doors to open, and I immediately stepped out of the ride as it opened. I strode to my office and was oblivious to the persons greeting me a good morning. But since I was feeling high up in the clouds, I decided to throw a bone and greeted them as well.
I sat in my office chair, buzzed my secretary for coffee, and then proceeded with my work. Of course, I'm waiting for Brittany to arrive but when I passed her desk, she still wasn't there so I figured I should get an early start.
My office door opened and my head flung to its direction hoping to see the person I've been waiting for the whole morning. But to my disappointment it's not her. "Nice to see you too, Santana!" Kurt said sarcastically. "I'm sorry that I'm not the tall, blonde, and gorgeous law student you were waiting for." I scowled at him. It's too early for this. "And I'm also sorry to say that she's not coming in today."
I felt my eyebrows crease in my forehead. "What? Why? Where is she?"
Kurt rolled his eyes. "Calm down. She has to attend her class in the university. But she'll be back tomorrow so just relax okay?" Kurt said as he put down some papers on my desk.
"Why didn't she tell me?" I wondered out loud. I checked my phone again for any messages and there it was. I must've missed it since I've been keeping myself busy for the past hour.
Hey babe, sorry I can't come to the office today. Need to go to university. I'll see you tomorrow. Have fun at work! :P
~Britt 3
A small smile crept in my lips because of the endearment but I let out a loud sigh. That's what I get for getting my hopes up. I felt Kurt staring at me so I asked annoyed, "What?"
"Why don't you just pick her up at school? Seriously Santana. Try to be more romantic."
"Hey! I'm doing the best that I can." I said before thinking Kurt's suggestion through. "I got a better idea though."
BRITTANY'S POV
A familiar feeling rushed through me as I walk around the university after my 2 week absence. I had to attend my class to give updates on how our training was coming along. I'm proud to say that I've been doing well.
It kinda sucks though. I won't be able to see Santana today. Well, a break from each other wouldn't do any harm right? But I really freaking miss her. She hasn't even replied to my message yet.
I tried to ignore the longing feeling I felt for my girlfriend and started concentrating on the surroundings I've been walking through. I laughed to myself as I pass the corridors which were filled with memories of Santana and me. We were bickering here and there, chasing each other, shouting… I giggled out loud which earned me some weird looks from the students who I met along the way. I couldn't care less though.
As I was nearing my room, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
Hey Britt.
So sad you're not here. :(
I'm trying my best not to shout at Kurt for teasing me but I thought you would be mad at me so I stopped myself.
I miss you. I wanna see you so bad.
xo San
Aww..
I smiled at the ridiculously cute text from Santana. If somebody showed me this message before and said this was from Santana Lopez, I would not believe and I would probably laugh my ass off.
I didn't delete the message because it's too sweet to erase. I typed in my reply and went inside my classroom.
The day went by pretty quickly. After a bit of reporting and some reminders, our class was over. I went to Tina's first before heading home. I missed her a lot and apparently, she missed me too.
"Hey Britt~! Wow! You look good!" Tina said as she enveloped me into a hug. I had to crouch a little so that I would be able to adjust to her height. "I missed you!" She said while hugging me. She finally let go and I smiled at her. She seemed to scrutinize me before saying, "Do I have to ask who makes you this happy?"
I laughed at her and warningly quipped, "Tina, do I really look that happy?"
"Duh? You make clowns look sad." She rolled her eyes and I laughed at her again. "I take everything's going well?" She asked.
"Hmm… For now yeah…" I answered with a bit of a doubting tone in my voice.
"Well… Have you told your sister yet?" I wasn't shocked when Tina asked this question. Nothing gets past her. She's Tina after all.
"Course not. If I did, there's a high chance you're talking to my cold remains now."
"Really? It's that bad?"
"Serious." I placed my things on Tina's photocopy machine. "I miss Santana." Tina suddenly said. I beamed at Tina. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and the stupid smile on my face broaden more. "Well. Today is your lucky day. Cause she just texted me that she's going to pick me up. In fact, she's in the parking lot right now."
"Who's at the parking lot?" I heard a familiar voice ask from behind me. The smile on my face vanished as I turned around slowly, trying to convince myself that the voice was just an imagination.
Holy crap.
My eyes widened as I saw my sister standing in front of me.
