No, this isn't the end of the story just the chapters of For You. Don't fret readers! I hope you enjoy.
The sun has set and the stars painted across the dark blue sky. Being in a secluded area, the Milky Way can be actually seen. Santana and Brittany settled in a fairly sized tent that has no electricity, just few gas lamps and flashlights, no bathroom near them and no bed. There were only a few couples around them, and by a couple they mean three other couples and that was it.
Santana and Brittany sat in front of a campfire making smores and listening to the elephants cry and the lions roar. The fire ablaze set before them burned brightly in the embers of orange and red. The warmth is comforting for it was not too hot. It is perfect.
"I'm sorry I couldn't afford the better tent with the electricity and the bed…" Santana felt embarrassed.
"San," Brittany put an arm around Santana's shoulder and scoots closer to her girlfriend, creating a perfect mold of them. "I really, really, really love this. It has been the best present ever."
Santana looks up and literally sees stars in Brittany's eyes. It was mesmerizing and more beautiful than the night sky. She knows Brittany is being honest with her. She rests her head on Brittany's shoulders.
"Hi, I'm Jenna and this is my fiancé, Tom." "Hello!" A couple with British accents approaches them from behind and greets them.
"Hi, I'm Brittany and this is my girlfriend, Santana." They both stand up and shake hands with the couple.
"Nice to meet both of you!" The British girl hugs Santana and Brittany. "I was wondering, would you two like to accompany us to the backdoor tours and possibly have dinner after?" Jenna looks at her boyfriend and smiles back at Santana and Brittany.
Santana shrugs her shoulders. "I don't see why not. Shall we, my lady?" She bows and offers her hand to Brittany.
Brittany curtsies and takes the offered hand before her and receives a light kiss on the hand from Santana.
The two pairs stroll along the pathway in the faux desert quietly at first.
"I am assuming you are a couple, correct?" Tom asks politely.
Santana turns around and glares at the black haired, blue eyed, pale boy. "Yeah, you got a problem with that…?" Her voice is threatening.
"I didn't mean to pry, miss…" He recoils and hides behind his fiancé.
"His sister was a lesbian and they were not much close with one another." Jenna said kindly. "He's always known but she's never admitted to him."
"Santana took a while." Brittany pokes Santana's arms she's hanging onto. "Not everyone will agree."
"My parents disowned me when I was seventeen." Santana admits and she doesn't know why. "It's funny how your parents are supposed to love you through everything but they end up neglecting you the most…" She smiles weakly. "Funny…" She feels a strong hand place on her shoulder.
"I understand where you are coming from, Santana." Tom squeezes Santana's shoulder. "My sister committed suicide for loving a woman. Our parents and the society judge too much and are close minded."
"We're very sorry to hear that..." Brittany says sadly.
Tom goes back and holds Jenna's hand firmly. "An open mind is an open heart."
"An open mind is an open heart…" Santana whispers to herself and smiles.
"I just see my sister so much looking at you two. I miss her and I truly hope she knew that I loved her. I still do." He smiles. "I know she thought I hated her too. Whenever I tried talking to her, she would run away thinking I was going to be an adversary."
"I'm sure she was afraid as hell, but she must know that you did love her. If not then, now." Santana said lovingly and she smiles at the guy who lost his sister tragically.
"Elephants!" Brittany and Jenna scream out from the top of their lungs! Both girls look at each other and race towards the bathing elephants.
"Your girl is like that too, huh?" Santana smiles as she walks slowly next to Tom. "Does she ever get annoying?" She looks at Tom through her peripherals.
"Yes, she is always so enthusiastic." He looks at Santana and smiles. "And as for the second question, NEVER! You know the answer to this one." He winks.
"Never. They just get more adorable and more beautiful and amazing and-" Santana caught herself praising the girl she is madly in love with. She blushes through her tan skin.
"Hey! Don't be ashamed." Tom smiles widely. "I'm in love as much as you." He looks at Santana happily. "I can tell you love Brittany. She is very lucky to have you." Tom signals for Santana to take his arm and go to the elated girl fangirling over the elephants.
For the first time in her life, Santana actually likes a guy. She likes the British accented gentleman named Tom.
The pair of couples went all around the animal park and went behind the scenes. They were able to feed the elephants up close, pet the cheetahs, have a tiny, horny monkey hump Santana's head, Brittany cuddle with the lion named Simba and basically do everything they wouldn't be able to do during the day time. After, the group went to an oriental restaurant in the park and had huge bowls pho for dinner since neither Jenna or Tom ever ate pho before. Now, they are heading back to the campsite to have dessert.
"San! That was so awesome!" Brittany runs behind Santana and gets a piggy back ride.
Santana almost falls forward but balances herself out. She smiles and starts running towards their tent. "Hold on, Britt Britt." Although Brittany is clearly taller than Santana, she is able to carry her easily.
Tom and Jenna smile at one another and follow behind Santana and Brittany.
"We made it first!" Brittany jumps off of Santana's back and scoops Santana into her arms. "I hope you two don't mind, but I want to alone with Santana." She winks at Jenna and Tom and carries Santana inside their tent.
Santana blushes and looks at Jenna and Tom who make cat calls at them both.
"Have a fun night you two! We'll have our own fun!" To yells out.
"Tom!" Jenna laughs and runs to their tent five tents away from Santana and Brittany's. Their flirtatious laughter disperses into the starry night and cool air outside.
Brittany gingerly places Santana in the center of the tent. "Wait here while I set everything up for us." Brittany turns on her flashlight and turns on the portable lamp and lantern that cozily lights up the tent. She brings out the two futons and places them adjacent and close to one another. Then Brittany unravels her and Santana's sleeping bags close to one another again and unzips them open. She places the pillow in the head area and puts a thick and fluffy comforter on top to finish everything off.
Santana just watches Brittany and smiles. She really picked the right girl to spend the rest of her life with. Brittany is her life.
"Come on, let's change." Brittany looks at Santana and offers her hand. "No funny business, promise! I just want to get cozy with you."
Santana happily takes Brittany's hand and goes with her to adjust into sleeping attire in the faux Safari.
They get changed into tank tops, girl boxers, booty shorts and light jackets. Santana and Brittany go outside hand in hand underneath the star painted heavens and in front of the almost dying bonfire.
"Oh, I forgot the stuff for the smores! I'll be back." Brittany let's go of Santana's hand abruptly and hurries back inside the tent.
Santana follows suit. "Let me help you, Brittany."
"NO!" Brittany yells out from inside the tent.
Santana jumps back and recoils. "Okay, I'll be here if you need me then."
"Yeah, I got this. I promise!" Brittany's voice is shaky.
Santana raises her eyebrows and sits on the log, pondering. Brittany seems jumpy at the moment. She just shrugs her shoulders and looks up at the beautiful stars and Milky Way. Everything is clearer when you are away from the city. Plus, she's with Brittany, what can possibly be better? She smiles beautifully.
"I'm back!" Brittany carries a box of graham crackers, a bag of extra large marshmallows, a barbeque stick, a bag of fun sized Hershey chocolate bars, a thermostat full of coffee, and two water bottles. Everything can fall out of Brittany's arms any moment.
"You need help?" Santana stands up and reaches for some of the things.
Brittany pulls back and smiles nervously. "Just sit down, San. I got this."
Santana sits back down on the log and eyes Brittany carefully as she drops everything on the ground clumsily. "What's up with you right now?"
"I just want to do everything for you tonight since you gave me the best gift ever! Is there anything wrong with that?" Brittany's voice is two octaves higher and it seems like there are beads of sweat forming in her forehead. "This is a thank you." She smiles nervously. "This is for you."
Santana's heart makes a somersault and she smiles hugely. "Britt, this whole day is for you too. This is for your birthday. I want you happy." She grabs the pale hands and pulls it to have Brittany sit next to her. Santana captures the pink, perfect lips with her own as the blonde sits and they share a passionate kiss. Santana is the one to break it and she looks into the blue eyes she adores so much. "I love you."
Brittany's nerves disappear and she smiles lovingly back to Santana. "I love you more." She pecks little kisses on Santana's face and she receives giggles of approvals. "Shall we have smores, my lady?"
"May I have three please?" Santana smiles as Brittany stands up to make the smores for her.
Brittany grabs crackers, three fun sized Hershey's, the bag of marshmallows, and the barbeque stick from the clumsy pile she threw on the ground. Brittany looks back at Santana. "San, can you sing my favorite song, please?"
"Of course, anything for you." Santana smiles and opens her mouth.
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart beat with mine
Brittany goes by the bonfire and kneels on the ground. She stabs three extra large marshmallows with the barbeque stick. She places three crackers on her lap and puts the unwrapped Hershey bars on top of them. Then she places the marshmallows in the fire.
Santana is singing Brittany's favorite song with heart. She may be singing it, but she is saying it to her as well. Santana means all the words she is vocalizing in the air for Brittany.
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?
Brittany removes the marshmallows from the fire because they're perfectly melty and toasted. She places each marshmallow on top of the cracker and chocolate combination and places another cracker to top off each sweet sandwich, all but one. "San, I ran out of graham crackers, may you get another one, please?"
Santana looks at Brittany lovingly and stands up without breaking a note to get more crackers for her.
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
She crouches down and grabs the box of graham crackers. She reaches inside and feels a velvety cube. Santana furrows her eyebrows and takes out the mystery item. She can't make out what it is because she shielded it with her shadow instead of exposing it to the campfire light.
And here you are by my side.
Santana turns around towards the light to have a good look at the dark velvety cube. Her hands tremble and her voice cracks. She is literally fighting tears.
So... now I come… to you…
With… open arms…
Santana starts bawling and crying a waterfall of tears.
"San!" Brittany drops everything she's doing and cradles Santana in her arms. "You aren't supposed to cry!" Brittany kisses the tan forehead. "Please say 'Yes…'" She wipes away the tears from Santana's face. "Santana Lopez, will you marry me?
