Chapter 11: Trinity

After cheerleader practice Santana had convinced Brittany to come with her. In fact, not much persuasion was needed. Brittany had immediately approved. Both were just happy to have each other again. On the way home Brittany didn't link pinkies with Santana as usual, but took her hand. Santana didn't bother.

Santana was so happy, that Brittany was finally at her home again. She thought about telling her, but she decided that she had shown enough feelings today in the shower cubicle. After all, she was still Santana badass Lopez.

"Mom I'm home", Santana yelled as she entered the house, still holding Brittany's hands, as if she was afraid of losing her again, "Brittz with me", she added with a bit of proud.

"Mom?", Santana asked, when she got no answer.

The two girls went in the kitchen. A note and money was lying on the table.

"We'll come home late. You can order some pizza", it said.

"Pizza again..", Santana grumbled and looked at Brittany, "My parents come home not until night at the moment. I eat almost only pizza", she explained and her eyes had a almost unnoticeable sad gleam.

"We could cook", Brittany suggested with a smile and opened the fridge, "Well...maybe we can't", she corrected herself after she saw, that it was nearly empty.

"We could make pancakes. The ingredients for that are always in the house", Santana looked at Brittany questioning.

"Sounds good", she agreed.

"Britt can I asked you something", Santana asked shyly.

"Sure", Brittany said and licked the half-finished dough off her finger.

Santana avoided her eyes and struck a egg against the bowl rim. "Why did you cancel your date with Darren?"

Brittany shrugged her shoulders. "You liked him..."

"But you were mad at me? Why would you do that for me?", now Santana turned towards her and looked confused.

"Well...it wasn't that important for me..and I knew I couldn't be with you for a while, because I was so sad...but I didn't want you to be alone..", Brittany explained

Santana needed a moment to process these words. She didn't know what to say. "Brittany..that's..", she rambled.

"But...I was jealous..", Brittany interrupted her and giggled slightly.

"I'm sorry", Santana said truthfully, "But well you can have him now I think. He broke up with me", she added as she remembered what happened before the reunion with Brittany. She had almost forgotten about that.

Brittany's smile disappeared. "What? Why? When?", she took a step closer to Santana and looked at her empathetic.

"Today. I don't know. I guess..", she stopped. Somehow she couldn't tell the truth. The truth that while she was in this relationship, all she could think about was Brittany and Darren wasn't amused by that. She was too embarrassed, "Whatever", she shook her head slightly, "It's okay"

"Are you sure?", Brittany asked concerned.

"Yeah", Santana nodded, "I guess I wasn't that into him, anyways"

"Okay", Brittany seemed relieved and smiled, "But I didn't mean that I was jealous of you..."

"What do you mean?"

Brittany looked at her still smiling but a bit shy. "I was jealous of him. He could spend time with you...and he kissed you. I always wonder how it feels to kiss you, because your lips looks so soft...like a field of pillows."

Santana dropped the egg in her hand. She could feel instantly that her head glowed and her heart beat twice as fast. Her mouth became dry. What was happening? Did Brittany just said that she wanted to kiss her?

"What..no..wh...stop saying such bull crap", she rambled and stared at Brittany, still holding her hand in the air as if the egg were still in it.

Brittany giggled. "Sorry", she said with a grin, picked up the egg on the floor and continued to cook like nothing happened.

Santana needed a moment to regain her body function. She cleared her throat and then turned back to the pancakes, too.

"Field of pillows", she repeated and shook her head and both started to laugh.

The rest of the school year went smoothly. Santana and Brittany were best friends again and somehow the fight had brought them even closer together.

In addition, Santana had spoken with Darren. She hadn't told him the truth, why she was so distant, but at least she had apologized. Since they were friends.

Santana, Brittany and Quinn spent their free time now with the football players from time to time. A few of the guys were nice. Above all, Finn. He was a bit stupid and talked too much but overall he was okay.

Quinn had never mention again the strange situation in the shower cubicle. Santana knew, Quinn could have easily destroy Santana's bad girl reputation with this knowledge, but she didn't. Since that day, Santana thought different about Quinn and they were kind of friends now.

It was a weird friendship. They both liked each other and had a lot of fun together, but on the other hand they were still rivals. Santana wanted to be captain of the cheerleaders and Quinn knew that and she would do everything to prevent that.

But most of the time they didn't think about that and just enjoy their reputation. The Trinity. Brittany, Santana and Quinn, best cheerleaders, hottest girls at the school and best friends.
