I woke up from a loud bang outside. I shot up out of Brittany's embrace and looked towards the window. I looked over and saw Brittany start to shuffle.
"Mmm…San?" she peeked her eyes open at me. I looked down at her.
"Hey, sorry I woke you up. Go back to sleep." I said quietly
"Is everything ok?" she asked more awake now.
"Yeah, I just hear—" I was interrupted by another loud bang and a flash of lightening.
I immediately heard Brittany shriek and felt her arms come around my waist.
"It's just a storm, nothing to be worried about." I said trying to calm her down.
"I really hate storms." She said with a shaky voice.
"Well it's a good thing I'm here with you isn't it?" I asked lying back down and bringing my arms around her body.
"Yeah." she snuggled into my body tighter.
As we lie there the storm kept getting worse. Trees were hitting the window and the thunder got louder.
"It's getting worse." She said
"It'll pass, don't worry." I leaned closer and gave her a reassuring kiss. We both pulled away when we heard something.
The bedroom door swung open dramatically. Rachel was standing there wide eyed.
"You guys! You have to get up!" She yelled
"We are up..." I said annoyed
"Well do you hear the storm outside?!" She sounded frantic
"Well duhh that's why we're up." Brittany said
"I turned on the news and this storm is really bad. Like really bad. School is closed and they shut down the subway." She said seriously
"What? It's just a storm it'll pass..." I said
"It's not just a storm Santana, it's a hurricane!" She said
"Then how come we weren't notified of this 'hurricane'?" I said annoyed
"None of us have really turned on the news recently..." She said
"Ok...so what do you expect us to do about it?" I said sarcastically.
"Santana I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry that I yelled at you when I didn't really know what was going on. None of us can leave this apartment until the hurricane passes." She pleaded
"Apology accepted and how long is this supposed to last?" I asked curious
"I'm not sure. I think the worst of it will be today and go through tomorrow night." She said
"My apartment isn't that far, I could run over there real quick and grab some things." I pulled the covers over me and started getting out of bed but a hand grabbed my arm.
"You're kidding right? You are not going anywhere. We have plenty of stuff here, it's dangerous out there Santana." Brittany was still holding onto my arm.
"I'm just going to get some supplies I'll be fine. The worst of it isn't going to happen until later so the sooner I leave the better." I tried to pull my arm away. She let go and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I'm not letting you leave. I don't need you going out there and getting supplies when you know Rachel is fully stocked up for situations like this...I just got you back, I'm not losing you again." Brittany had tearing forming in her eyes. Rachel took that as her queue to leave and walked out to the living room.
"I'm sorry. Don't cry please, I won't go ok? I'm not going anywhere." I said looking her straight in the eyes. She sniffled before speaking.
"I shouldn't have to beg you not to leave." She said and got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom and went into the bathroom shutting the door, I followed.
"Brittany..." I knocked on the door.
"Brittany please come out. I was thinking selfishly, Brittany please open the door." I begged. I looked over and Rachel wasn't on the couch, she must have gone back to bed. I heard the handle moving and stepped away for her to open the door. She opened the door and looked at me for a few seconds before yanking me in the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.
"Wh-" I was cut off.
"Don't do that again." She said in a serious tone. I nodded. Before I knew it she crashed her lips on mine and pressed me against the door. I place my hands on her hips and pull her closer. I forgot we were just wearing our underwear when I felt Brittany unhook my bra. My eyes widened and I pulled away.
"Um..." I didn't want to question her but I had to.
"Are you going to just stand there or are you going to get me naked?" She smirked. After our talk last night I was really confused. She said she wasn't ready so why is she getting me naked?
"I thought you weren't ready...?" I questioned.
"We aren't having sex San." She said
"Ok...then why are we getting naked?" I asked
"Who knows how long we have before the power goes out, we are going to take a nice warm shower." She said before leaning in and kissing me hard again. I brought my hands around her back and unhooked her bra taking it off her shoulders.
"That's more like it." She said before hooking her fingers in the side of my underwear and pushing them down slowly. I was getting embarrassingly turned on. She knew it too. When they reached my ankles I broke the kiss stepping out and kicked them to the side. I did the same and pushed her underwear down her legs. It was taking a lot of self-control not to touch her right now. It has been three years too long since I've seen her naked. She was definitely checking me out, running her eyes up and down my body. LA definitely did her good. Her body looked even better than before. I put my hands on her lower back and pulled her into me so our chests were touching. She gasped bringing her hands to the top on my bare butt and leaning in to kiss me again.
"How about that shower?" I said breaking the kiss.
"Oh yeah...that was kind of an excuse to get you naked." She admitted leaning down and kissing me again. After a few seconds I pulled away.
"As much as I love this, I'm getting way too turned on right now so let's shower." I said pulling her toward the shower. She let out a giggle and followed me in the shower. I turned the water and stepped in. Brittany follows behind me wrapping her arms around my waist kissing my shoulder.
"Mmm...how are we going to get anything done?" I smiled felling her turn me around.
"I've missed taking showers with you, let's enjoy this before the power goes out." She said before lacing our fingers together and kissing me again.
After a not-so-innocent shower we wrapped ourselves in towels and walked out. Rachel was now on the couch watching the news. She heard us walking out of the bathroom and looked up.
"Please tell me you didn't defile my bathroom." She said seriously.
"We didn't defile your bathroom." Brittany said in monotone before grabbing my hand dragging me toward her bedroom. Brittany walked toward the window and looked out.
"It's getting a lot worse." She said worried. I walked over to her and grabbed her hand.
"We are going to be fine." I said.
"I know, but all I can think about right now is what would have happened if you went out in this. I mean look at that!" She pointed to all the flooding and abandoned streets. I squeezed her hand and made her face me.
"I was so over my head thinking I could go out there. Thank you for stopping me and you don't have to worry about anything because I'm right here." I placed my hand on her cheek and smiled at her.
"I know, but if I didn't stop you, you could have died. You can't die on me, you just can't!" She was crying a lot now.
"Hey," I wrapped her in a hug. "Where is this coming from?" I asked.
"I love you Santana. I'm in love with you. I have never stopped loving you and I don't want to lose the person that I love." She said quietly still buried in my chest. My heart swelled with emotion. I had no idea what to say back. I do love her but we just started dating again. I can honestly say I don't think I'm in love with her yet and I don't want to tell her I love her until I am in love with her.
"I-uh-" is all I could get out. She unwrapped her arms and stepped back.
"You don't have to say it back. I know we just got back together last night. I just wanted you to know how strongly I feel about you." She said grabbing my hands and lacing them together.
"Thank you." I said leaning in to kiss her.
"Mmm," she hummed, "I love you." She said again.
"You are going to say that everyday aren't you?" I questioned.
"Yes, I am." She said sweetly.
"Should we try to get some sleep? After all, we did just shower in the middle of the night." I suggested.
"Ok." She said dragging me toward the bed.
We crawled into bed and tangled our legs together. We were both facing each other.
"So I didn't really get to plan our date because this week was sorta crazy..." She admitted.
"That's ok; we wouldn't have been able to go out anyways." I said referring to the hurricane.
"That's true." She said before buzzing her face in my neck.
"Santana?" She asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I'm not tired." She said.
"Oh...ok do you want to watch TV or something?" I asked.
"Nope." She said leaning in and kissing my firm on the lips. I knew exactly what she was up to. She pushed me on my back and took her towel off. Great. My naked girlfriend is on top of me, how am I not supposed to touch her?
"You didn't think we would sleep in our towels did you?" She asked and raised her eyebrow.
"Uhh-no. No I didn't." I said looking straight at her chest. She unwrapped my towel and threw it on the ground. I can feel her core against my chest.
"Brittany-," I could hardly speak I was so turned on. All I wanted to do was flip us over and touch every part of her body; there she was sitting on top of me. Naked. It would be so easy to take control.
"What do you expect me to do here?" I asked.
"Kiss me." She said.
I leaned up grabbing her neck with both my hands pulling her down until her lips touch mine. I feel her hands going from my stomach up to my boobs. Her hands are so gentle, not like all the guys I slept with in high school. As her tongue slips in my mouth she nibbles on my lower lip. I want to put my hands everywhere but I don't want to make her uncomfortable so I just stick to placing my hands on her hips.
"I love you." She murmurs against my lips. It catches me off guard. Telling her when we are clothed and telling me when we are naked are so different for me. I pull back before I do something stupid.
"We should really get some sleep." I suggest. I can't believe my girlfriend is naked on top of me and I'm suggesting we go to sleep.
She pouts at me, "I like this, no sleeping." She leans in again but I pull back before her lips touch mine.
"What's wrong?" She asks hurt.
"We are naked. Our track record shows that when we are naked in bed together we are either about to have sex, having sex, or just finished having sex," I state while she is still sitting on me naked. "I can feel how turned on you are...but I know you're not ready for this." She blushed embarrassed and slides off me.
"Sorry I didn't realize how...yeah. I'm so stupid! Getting you all worked up for nothing." She sounded sad.
"It's ok. I mean don't get me wrong, I love having my girlfriend naked on top of me but it's hard not to touch you..." I admit.
"I feel like a jerk." She says turning away from me. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her close to me.
"Hey, don't call my girlfriend a jerk." I kiss her bare shoulder.
"Why not? I am one. I sit on you naked and expect you not to touch me." She says.
"Any way I can get you is fine with me, especially if you're naked, just not on top of me where I can feel…everything." I said smirking.
-
I woke up again but this time it was from the phone ringing. I couldn't have got more than a couple hours because it was still dark out.
"Hel—hello?" I was still half asleep. I looked over at Brittany to make sure she was still asleep.
"Santana!" She said
"Mom?" I asked
"Honey, are you ok? The news is crazy, people are dying!" She said.
"Yeah Britt and I are fine, don't worry." I reassured.
"Britt? As in Brittany? As in Brittany Pierce?" She sounded shocked.
"Ohh—uh yeah I forgot to tell you she's here in New York now." I said.
"Excuse me? Santana why haven't you told me any of this?" She asked.
"Sorry, she just came back last week and we sort of got back together..." I said biting my lip.
"What?! You can't be serious!" She yelled not mad but shocked.
"Yes. I'm serious. Mom I love her, what do you expect me to do?" I asked
"I know you love her and you missed her but don't you think it's a little soon for all that?" She asked.
"No, we kinda just fell back into place." I said.
"Ok, if you're happy then I'm happy." She said.
"Thank you mom, it means a lot." I said.
"So...having sleepovers already?" She asked.
"Mom! I'm here because she refused to let me go back to my place during this storm."
"Well good! I'll have to thank her when I come visit."
"Visit? When are you coming?" I asked curiously
"Next week..."
"What?! Mom you can't fly out here now, it's dangerous!" I yelled.
"It'll be fine by next week. I miss my baby plus I really want to see Brittany, you know how much I've always loved her."
"I know you love Brittany but I don't think it's a good idea right now—" my phone was snatched out of my hand.
"Hey Mrs. Lopez, we would totally love for you to come here next week." Brittany said.
"Brittany! I've missed you! Thank you for not letting my daughter leave your sight, I know how stubborn she can be." She said
"Oh yeah, don't worry about that, she isn't going anywhere."
"Good. Well sorry about calling in the middle of the night. I'm glad you girls are ok. Tell bye to Santana for me." She said
"Ok, bye Mrs. Lopez."
"Bye Brittany."
She hit end call and handed the phone back to me with a smile on her face.
"What the hell Britt?!" I laughed "I thought you were asleep!" I poked her bare stomach.
"I was asleep. Then I heard you yelling and woke up." She said.
"Oh...sorry." I said worried that she had heard me tell my mom I love her.
"That's ok, I love talking to your mom. I can't wait to see her next week!" She was giddy.
"What?! Brittany I do not need her coming next week." I pouted.
"Awww come on when was the last time you saw her?" She asked
"I don't know, a couple months?"
"Santana! That's too long!" She looked shocked.
"We talk enough I don't need to see her that often." I said.
"Obviously you don't talk enough or you would have told her about me..." Her face saddened.
"I'm sorry, this week has been crazy and the last thing I thought of was telling my mom about it. It's nothing personal." I explained.
"Ok. Can we actually get some sleep now?" She asked.
"Yes please." I said cuddling up to her again.
When I woke up it was actually light outside. I looked over at the clock but there was no time on it so I figured the power had finally gone out. I look back at Brittany and she is sound asleep lying on her stomach so her bareback was showing. I get up and grab an oversized t-shirt pulling it over my head. I don't even bother putting underwear on. I head my stomach start to grumble so I walk over to the kitchen. Rachel is already in there making coffee.
"Finally you're awake!" she yelled
"Shhh! Brittany is still asleep!" I half yelled back at her.
"Oh, sorry. Do you want any coffee? I made some before the power went out." she said.
"Sure." I walked toward her and grab a cup.
"Things seem to be going well with you and Brittany…" she trailed off.
"You're so nosy." I teased.
"Well I did walk in on you two about to get it on! What do you expect?" she asked
"Whatever. We haven't even had sex yet." I said
"Oh yeah right! You expect me to believe you? I caught you guys all over each other, in your underwear I might add." She said giving me look.
"I don't care if you don't believe me. We haven't so please don't bring it up again." I said.
"Ok, I'll drop it…for now." she said and walked back to her bedroom.
I did the same thing and when I opened the door Brittany was wide awake and sitting up in bed.
"Hmm what if I had been Rachel? I would have gotten a nice look at your boobs." I said smirking at her.
"Well you aren't Rachel so come back to bed and cuddle with me." She said opening the covers exposing her naked body. I gladly took the invitation and crawling in next to her.
"The power it out so this is pretty much all we can do today." I smiled and kissed her.
"And that's bad because…?" she asked smiling at me.
"It's not bad. Expect all the food in the fridge will go bad soon so we will be living off of granola bars." I explained.
"That's ok we'll survive." She said.
"Hopefully…who knows how long this hurricane will take blow over." I teased.
"Don't say that! It's scary enough as it is," She pouted, "Although having you here 24/7 is pretty nice." She grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together.
"Yeah it is nice isn't it?" I said
"Mmhmm except it's probably going to get pretty boring around here soon."
"You do realize your naked right?" I asked snuggling her more.
"Yeah, so?" she said
"That pretty much means it's not going to get boring anytime soon." I said tilting my head to reach her lips softly.
"I don't want to get you all hot and bothered again."
"I can control myself." I said and pressed my lips harder against hers. She hummed in response and trailed her hands under my shirt. She pulls away.
"I've never felt so comfortable with you then I do right now." She said genuinely.
"Your sweet." I smiled at her.
"I'm serious," she poked me. "I thought after what happened I would never be able to be with anyone." She avoided eye contact like she had shared too much. I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her again.
"I'm so happy you're back." I said
"Me too, I think I should put some clothes on though." She bit her lip.
"Why? We can stay like this all day." I said leaning in but she turned her head at the last second so I caught her cheek.
"I don't want Rachel getting the wrong idea." She said getting up and grabbing clothes.
"Don't worry about her, I already told her we haven't done anything." I said getting up and walking over to her.
"Why would you do that?" she questioned looking betrayed.
"I'm sorry," I tried to take her hands but she pulled them away. "I didn't tell her anything else…she basically attacked me saying we go at it like rabbits and I told her we haven't don't anything yet, what's wrong with that?" I asked quirking my eyebrow.
"Sorry, I just assumed that if you told her we hadn't done anything then you told her about why…" she looked down at the floor.
"What! Brittany I would never do that to you. That isn't my story to tell." I stepped forward putting my hands around her waist.
"I know you would never do that. I don't know why I thought that." She looked down at my lips. I got the message and leaned in giving her a sweet kiss.
"What are we going to do all day with no power?" I asked
"I don't know…I bet Rachel has some ideas." She said
"Is the storm getting any better?" I asked looking toward the window.
"Doesn't look like it. And don't even think about going out there." she said looking down at the streets.
"I wasn't thinking about it! I meant it when I said I wasn't going anywhere." I said walking up behind her grabbing her waist and pulling her close to me.
"I just want this to pass so I can take you on our date." She said leaning into me.
"I can't wait." I said and kissed her cheek.
"There's seriously nothing to do here without power."
"How long do you think the power will be out?" I asked
"I'm not sure. I bet Rachel knows more information than we do." She said.
"Yeah, let's go ask her." I pulled away and grabbed her hand leading us toward the living room. Rachel was sitting on the couch with a blanket and a book. I walked toward the other couch sitting down and pulling Brittany down on my lap.
"Anything new on the hurricane?" I ask Rachel wrapping my arms around Brittany.
"All I know is the storm isn't letting up anytime today so we are kind of stuck here," She taking her eyes off her book to look at us. "You guys are so cute. I really need to get a boyfriend." She said looking back down at her book.
"Yeah, you do." I said bluntly.
"Sorry, not all of our high school sweethearts can come back and sweep us off our feet." She said playfully.
"Yeah yeah yeah whatever." I said squeezing Brittany. She turned and found my lips. I put my hand on the back on her neck deepening the kiss.
"Excuse me! If you're going to do that, go back in your bedroom." Rachel said.
"Come on Rachel, I just want to kiss my girlfriend." Brittany pouted. Rachel's eyes widened and she slammed her book shut.
"Girlfriend?!" She yelled excited.
"Yeah, I asked her last night!" Brittany yelled just as excited squeezing me hard.
"I'm happy for you guys. Now I really need a boyfriend." She sighed
"What about that Brody guy?" I asked
"Seriously? That was years ago, I have no idea what he's up to nowadays."
"Yeah right! Tell me right now you still don't have his number." I challenged.
"I…do." She deflated.
"I knew it! Call him! He is seriously hot." I said. Brittany gave me a questioning look.
"What? I may not be attracted to men but I still have an opinion on what they look like." I said kissing her cheek.
"Yeah Santana is right, he is really hot, way better then Finn." Brittany said. This time I was the one giving the questioning look. She just smirked and snuggled into me.
"Yes he is very attractive, but I don't even know if he is still in New York." She said
"That's why you pick up the phone and call him." I said bluntly.
"Fine, I'll call him…..after the hurricane passes."
"Ok, but I'm going to be there when you call, and it will be on speaker phone." I said
"What? No!" she looked surprised
"Um how else am I supposed to know you actually call?" I asked
"Well…..I guess you're right." She said pouting.
"Good, it's settled. Rachel Berry is going to get laid and lighten up a little bit." I joked.
"Hey! I am not uptight and I don't need to get laid! Plus, you're the one not getting laid." she yelled playfully. Brittany froze but then quickly got up and stormed to the bedroom. Rachel looked over at me confused.
"What did I-." I cut her off
"Rachel! Why would you say that? You said you would drop it!" I yelled before going to the bedroom to see if Brittany is ok. I opened the door slowly and saw her crying softly. I walked over crawling into bed behind her and pulling her close to me.
"She was out of line." I said putting my hands over hers.
"She was just joking around, she doesn't know any better. I should have told her about it…" She said with tears streaming down her face.
"Brittany, you don't need to tell her anything. None of this is any of her business." I said leaning over and kissing her cheek. She turned around to face me; I kept my arms around her.
"Thank you." She squeaked out. I wiped her tears away and kissed her gently.
"I don't like it when you cry." I admitted
"I don't like it when I cry either." She smiled
"Then it's settled, no more crying ok?" I asked.
"No more crying." She agreed.
"I should probably go talk to her though…" she said
"No, you don't have to talk to her yet. Let's stay here for a while." I said kissing her wet cheeks.
"Ok but when I do talk to her, can you be there with me?" She asked.
"Of course I'll be there. That's what a good girlfriend would do right?" I asked teasingly.
"A very good girlfriend would do that." She said leaning in a kissing me hard.
"Mmmm, Britt?" I asked pulling away.
"Yeah?"
"Let's take a nap." I suggested
"We haven't gotten enough sleep these past couple days?" she laughed
"Well, I want to spend as much time in bed with you before I have to go back to my place."
"Good point. Cuddle me more." She said snuggling into my chest. I pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. We both lay there for about thirty minutes before I speak up.
"I can't fall asleep." I said
"Me neither. Should we get something to eat?" she asked
"Sure." I said untangling our hands and getting out of bed.
We walk out to the kitchen and Rachel is still sitting on the couch reading her book. She looks up but quickly looks back to her book. I open up the cabinet and there isn't really anything to eat. I walk along the kitchen opening more cabinets but there isn't any food or drinks.
"What are we supposed to eat?" She asked
"I'm not sure. The storm doesn't look too bad now, we could go grab stuff down the street before it picks up again." I said while she looked over to the window.
"I guess you're right, but I'm coming with you." She said grabbing my hand.
"No, I don't need you coming and getting hurt." I said trying to let go of her hand but she squeezed tighter.
"This is not a negotiation. I'm coming with you or you're not going at all." She said
"Fine, let's go change first." I said pulling her toward the bedroom. We put on our winter clothes and rain boots before heading toward the front door.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Rachel yelled toward us.
"We are getting essentials." I said
"You shouldn't go out there." She said looking worried.
"We'll be fine." I said pulling Brittany with me.
When we got outside it was cold and windy. I linked our hands and put my arm around her waist pulling her close to me.
"Is anything even open?" she asked
"I hope so." I said as we kept walking down the street.
She pointed toward a gas station that looked open.
"Let's hurry up and get a few things, I don't want to stay here longer then we have to." I said before we walked in. She walked toward the drinks and grabbed three water bottles. I walked toward the food and got some cereal and bread. We met up and headed toward the register. After we paid for everything we made our way back. I got this eerie feeling like we were being followed so I turn around fast only to be met with a fist to my left cheek. Everything went black for a few seconds. My face was throbbing as I hit the ground.
