Chapter 14: Roommates
"I'm moving in" Brittany shrugs before sneaking past Santana at the door while dragging her suitcases behind her.
"I'm sorry, what?" Santana asks. She was in shock before but this is on another level now. She did not expect Brittany to say something like that.
"You asked me weeks ago so finally here I am" Brittany states before quickly making herself at home by taking her things to Santana's empty room and then heading to the kitchen to make herself some coffee. Santana just stands there watching Brittany in shock because she has no idea what all of this means. Yes, she did ask Brittany to move in since her roommate moved out but that was before they broke up so is Brittany just a roommate now or are they friends or does Brittany even want to try again, Santana has no idea.
"I don't understand any of this Brittany" Santana states.
"Look, you have a spare room and need the rent and I'm a grown woman who needs to leave her parents house and get on with her life. Plus, I need somewhere to start my business and my parent's house is too busy. At least here you'll be at work most of the day so I'll have the kitchen to myself" Brittany replies.
"I get that but we've just broke up Brittany so why would you choose to live with me and not Mercedes or another friend that has a spare room" Santana asks.
"Because you asked me to move in so why bother asking anyone else when I already know I can come here" Brittany shrugs.
"We're not together Brittany so it's different" Santana sighs.
"Do you need the rent?" Brittany asks.
"That's not the point" Santana states.
"Yes or no?" Brittany asks.
"Yes" Santana nods.
"Ok and I have rent now to pay you. Your gran gave me the money to start my business but she didn't say I couldn't use it to rent an apartment while building my dream" Brittany shrugs.
"Hold on, my grandma gave you money?" Santana asks shocked.
"Sure did" Brittany smiles.
"Why is she giving you money and not me?" Santana asks offended. Brittany then goes on to tell her the story about how she's not the only one to get a cheque and the reason why Santana doesn't have one. "Wow, I knew she was pissed at me for hurting you but this is harsh."
"You just need to show her that you are willing to put yourself out there career wise" Brittany says.
"I don't want her stupid money; I just want to be treated equally as my brother. Just because my life is a mess doesn't mean I don't deserve whatever he gets" Santana sighs.
"She's just doing it to motivate you to look for a better job because let's be honest, you haven't applied for anything in months. If you don't work for something it won't happen. A job won't just turn up unless you look for openings and apply" Brittany states.
"Who the hell wants to hire me" Santana says deflated.
"I had that same attitude but I'm hoping things are turning around for me now so the same will happen with you Santana. One thing I know for sure is that you're extremely talented at whatever you do so there's something out there for you" Brittany says honestly.
"I suppose" Santana nods. They're silent for a second before Santana quickly remembers what they were previously talking about. Her career doesn't matter right now, Brittany moving in is the important point here. "Look let's circle back to you moving in. It just doesn't make sense why you would want to" she states.
"Yes, we're not together anymore and it might take some getting used to but you have a room and I need someplace to stay so this all works out" Brittany replies. There's no way she would be comfortable renting a room from someone she doesn't know so this seems better than that.
"We're not in a good place Brittany so if we ever want to have any future together whether it's being together or just friends, we don't want this to mess things up" Santana points out.
"We also can't go on hating each other so let's try this because we both could benefit from this. Like you say even if we can't ever be together again, at least I'm out of my parents house and you're getting to split your rent" Brittany reasons.
"Ok, fine" Santana sighs. It doesn't seem like the best idea to her but she's getting to live with Brittany so that's a positive because she really misses her. Brittany wouldn't admit it aloud but she is happier being around Santana in some way than not seeing or speaking to her at all.
It's some days later and it's the weekend so Brittany and Mercedes are hanging out at Mercedes's place. Brittany has finished her work for the day and Mercedes is off tomorrow so they figured they would have a glass of wine and a catch up. Mercedes is especially looking forward to it to see what the hell is going on with Brittany because she knows she couldn't live with an ex no matter the time frame since they broke up.
"Why did you really move in with her Brittany?" Mercedes wonders. She likes Santana and wants her and Brittany back together but it doesn't mean it doesn't concern her after everything that happened. She doesn't want them to rush back together.
"Because I needed to move out of my parents' house if I wanted to at least make something of this cake business and Santana needed a roommate" Brittany shrugs.
"Is that all it is?" Mercedes asks.
"I know it's going to be hard but I can't live without her anymore. I'm still hurt so I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship with her again right now and I mean she probably doesn't want that either but at least this way I'm still getting to see her" Brittany admits.
"Isn't that hard though?" Mercedes worries.
"It's hard but not as hard as the thought of never seeing her again. This gives me an excuse to be around her and I like that. If I'm ever lucky enough for her to want me back then maybe it'll happen" Brittany replies.
"Santana wants you back as much as you want her back" Mercedes assures Brittany.
"Even if that's true we couldn't just get back together without sorting through things" Brittany reasons. "Do you really believe that though that we both want to be together again?" she asks.
"I do and Quinn thinks so too so we just need to get you and Santana on the right path and things will work out" Mercedes states.
"Do you and Quinn talk a lot?" Brittany asks curiously.
"Since our best friends ditched us to make out all the time then Quinn and I have become friendly. Certainly not as friendly as you and Santana were when you first met but we're good friends now" Mercedes replies.
"So, you two talk a lot about Santana and me?" Brittany wonders.
"Not a lot but it does come up from time to time" Mercedes says. "We both practically hear the same thing from you both and think you two are meant to be together. I know you need space to work things out but Santana didn't mean what she did, surely you have to know that" she adds.
"I've got a rough idea why she did it but I didn't realise at the time what she really meant so I thought she literally wanted me to pick between her and a career" Brittany says. Any other time it would have been a no brainer but there was a lot at stake when Santana gave her the ultimatum.
"She loves you Brittany and you love her so tread carefully. Don't do anything either of the two of you will regret" Mercedes tells Brittany.
"I won't but I also can't deny how frustrated I am with the situation we're in" Brittany sighs. Santana hasn't fully explained to Brittany why she did what she did so it annoys Brittany that she won't talk. Also though, Brittany doesn't feel ready to talk to Santana about her feelings yet so she's frustrated with herself.
"Why don't you stay here tonight to give yourself some time to think about things?" Mercedes suggests. Neither of them is working tomorrow plus it might give her some to think about whether moving in with Santana really is right for the moment.
"I'd rather stay at Santana's place" Brittany admits. Sleeping with a bedroom wall separating them is so much better than sleeping in different places.
"You're making this harder for yourself to comprehend if you spent so much time with Santana. I mean you're free to do what you want but always being around her won't give you time to process things" Mercedes points out.
"It'll make it better actually because if we're meant to be then it'll make me want to continue to stay there which means I'll want to work things out with her so we can be together. If I don't want us to be together then it'll become apparent the more we spend time together" Brittany reasons.
"Ok, fine" Mercedes nods. She isn't in a position to tell Brittany what to do but she doesn't want either Brittany or Santana to get even more hurt so she just hopes this doesn't make things worse.
The first few weeks of living together for them is a little weird. Not only aren't they together at the moment so things are weird but they've also never experienced living together at all so it's taking some time to get used to. They've stayed the night with each other many times in the relationship but living together and spending that much time together is different for them. Things especially get weird when Brittany walks into the bathroom to brush her teeth only to find Santana stark naked in the shower. She perhaps stayed in there a little longer than she meant to which Santana wasn't thrilled about but at the same time, it did give Santana some confidence that Brittany still found her attractive.
The next three weeks after that were weird but for a different reason this time. They were sort of accustomed to living together by the second week but Santana's shift pattern changed so they saw very little of one another. She started working later shifts so she would be home when Brittany was already in bed and would wake up late in the morning because of how tired she was and Brittany would be already away out to do what she had to for her new catering venture. Even though they won't admit to one another, they really have missed each other. Being broke up and living together was better than being broke up and never seeing each other again so it was a sort of comfort for them for the first few weeks but now it's tough. The only thing keeping Santana optimistic about things is that her shift pattern will return to normal next week since it was just a temporary thing while the building she was working in was being renovated.
Santana is currently hanging out with Quinn on their break at work. "How are things with Brittany at the moment?" Quinn wonders.
"They're ok I guess" Santana shrugs. "I made the worst mistake of my life breaking up with her but I can't change that now so I just need to look to the future" she says.
"Do you want to get back together?" Quinn asks.
"I really do because I know what I did was wrong but I'm worried she won't trust me anymore" Santana admits. There hasn't been a day that's gone by that she hasn't wished they were still together.
"I think eventually she'll trust you" Quinn smiles. "You just need to make sure she knows why you did what you did and that you didn't mean for things to spiral out of control."
"I'm currently living with her but I miss her so much Quinn, what do I do?" Santana asks. She wants to explain what happened to Brittany but she also wants to move on and make Brittany aware that she still loves her and wants to be with her.
"You just need to talk to her and tell her what happened and what you want to happen from now on" Quinn replies.
"I don't want to scare her away though, I've only just somewhat got her back in my life" Santana says.
"You need to talk about what happened before you can move on. For both of your sakes Santana so please at least talk to her" Quinn says.
"Do I tell her I want to get back together with her?" Santana asks.
"You can but you can't be surprised if she isn't ready yet. You just need to make sure she knows you're serious about her and willing to do what it takes to make things right" Quinn points out.
"Ok" Santana nods.
"Do remember though that this isn't all on you. Brittany did make a few mistakes too so it can't be all one sided. It is acceptable for you to tell her what you need from her too to make things work if she wants to" Quinn tells Santana.
"I think I made the bigger mistake though" Santana sighs.
"The bottom line here is that nothing can move forward without you both talking so do that. Once these nightmare shifts finish and we get back into a normal pattern, have a sit down with her and both of you explain what you want from here on in" Quinn states.
"Ok, I can do that" Santana nods.
"In the meantime though, we need to get back to work" Quinn points out.
"Yeah" Santana agrees. They both then go back to their desks and get back to work. Santana is slightly clearer on how to handle things but it still doesn't help her nerves. She's still quite nervous that talking could lead to an argument and totally ruin things for them completely.
It's been two months now that Brittany and Santana have been living together and things are beginning to be ok. They're not where both of them want them to be but they're ok for the situation they're in. Brittany wants to get back together but she's really struggling personally to work things out and Santana just wants to give Brittany space because she knows if she has a chance then she needs to respect Brittany more.
Brittany is currently baking a wedding cake in the kitchen when Santana walks in. She's got the day off from work so she's just wearing some sweatpants and having a relaxing day. She goes over to the kettle and makes herself some coffee.
"Do you want some coffee?" Santana asks Brittany.
"No thanks" Brittany smiles.
"What about some lunch, I'm quite hungry" Santana says.
"No, I don't have time to sit down and eat anything right now. I'm on a deadline" Brittany states.
"Ok" Santana replies sadly. She was hoping to spend some time together having lunch. They don't really hang out even though they live together so Santana tries to get them to at least eat together. Things really aren't how they were before they started dating so they don't spend time together but they take comfort being somewhat close to each other, even if that's in separate rooms.
"Maybe we could have dinner together if I get this finished on time" Brittany smiles.
"I'd like that" Santana smiles back.
"I'm just really busy right now, sorry" Brittany states.
"It's fine" Santana shrugs. She's not going to get too hung up on this at the moment because they aren't in a place to be fully comfortable around each other yet.
"I love what I've been doing these last couple of months and it's working out so far but I just wish I had more money so I could actually hire people to help me" Brittany sighs. The catering thing is working out and she's definitely making more money than before but it's still not enough to hire anyone and be able to pay them.
"Maybe you need to find someone to help you that doesn't need to be paid" Santana states.
"I know but who is going to have time. My family all work and my friends are rather busy too so I don't know anyone else that would be willing to work unpaid" Brittany replies. Another pair of hands would be really good though, especially now since the wedding cake needs to be done by tomorrow.
"Do you know Santana Lopez?" Santana asks with a smirk.
"What?" Brittany asks with a confused chuckle.
"Do you want some help?" Santana asks with a smile.
"Sure" Brittany shrugs.
"Ok" Santana says surprised. She did offer her help but she didn't think Brittany would accept so quickly considering the way things are with each other. They like being close but not being that close if that makes sense.
"If you could make a start on the fondant then that would be good" Brittany tells Santana.
"And I would do that how?" Santana asks. She's really not much of a baker so even though she's offered Brittany help, she doesn't really know what she's doing.
"Man, you're so cute sometimes" Brittany says before quickly regretting it. "Uh…anyway" she says while clearing her throat before showing Santana what to do.
"It looks great so far so I want to apologise in advance if I mess it up for you" Santana states.
"I'm sure it'll be ok. If I think things aren't working out then I'll relegate you to washing the dishes for me while I finish the cake" Brittany smiles.
"Ok, deal" Santana laughs.
"Anyway, are you ok with what you need to do right now?" Brittany asks.
"I am" Santana nods and then gets to work. Brittany meanwhile goes back to what she was doing.
After finishing the cake together, Santana made them something to eat. It was a sort of a late lunch/early dinner for them. They then cleared up together before going to the living room and watching some TV together. Brittany promised Santana that after she had a little rest, she'd make her a nice dessert to thank her for helping her today. That's sort of the reason they hung out together instead of retreating to their bedrooms like they usually do. Usually after eating together they go and do their own thing but with Brittany promising to make them something else to eat then it meant the night wasn't over so they didn't need to head to their rooms.
"Do you want some wine?" Santana asks as Brittany is preparing them some dessert.
"I would love some" Brittany nods. Santana has another day off tomorrow and Brittany hasn't got anything planned so they both figured a little glass of wine wouldn't hurt.
"I won a bottle of red in a raffle at work the other day, shall we try that?" Santana suggests.
"Sounds good, I can drink any kind of wine" Brittany smiles.
"Ok" Santana nods. She then pours them both some wine and takes the glasses through to the living room while Brittany finishes up the dessert and takes the bowls through with some spoons.
"Ok, dessert isn't that exciting since anything really good would need to at least set and take some time but I do remember you used to like my sponge cake with the chocolate that oozes out of the middle so I got us some of that with ice cream" Brittany says. She made the dessert the other day and then didn't need it for the party she was catering so she figured she and Santana could eat it now.
"I like all sweet things so I'm good with anything, especially anything involving chocolate" Santana smiles.
"Ok good" Brittany smiles back. They then sit down together and begin eating. Once they finish the dessert, Santana washes up their dishes and joins Brittany back in the living room.
"I haven't finished my wine yet so I'm not going to go to bed just yet" Santana says while sitting down next to Brittany.
"Yeah I'm not finished either" Brittany replies. She's been deliberately drinking her wine slowly so it takes her longer to drink therefore allows her to spend a longer time with Santana.
The two of them sit in silence for 10 minutes as each of them drink their wine excruciatingly slowly to prolong their time together. Neither of them really knows what to say right now which is why things are so silent. They like having time together but at the same time neither of them wants to dampen it by talking about their issues.
"Maybe we should watch a movie or something together" Brittany suggests.
"Ok" Santana replies surprised.
"Neither of us are finished our wine yet so we might as well watch a movie as we drink. I've got almost half a glass of wine left so I've definitely got time to fit in a movie" Brittany says.
"I feel the same" Santana agrees. Brittany then puts on a movie and they sit quietly next to each other, watching the TV screen. Ever so slowly Brittany moves closer to Santana but not enough for Santana to fully realise it right away. It's only when their thighs brush against one another that Santana notices Brittany so close.
"Sorry" Brittany apologises while beginning to move away slightly. She meant to move closer to Santana but she meant to be more discrete about it and not let herself touch Santana.
"Don't" Santana stops Brittany as she takes her hand and pulls her back towards her. "I have really been avoiding talking about things tonight in case it made things worse but I miss you like crazy Brittany" she admits.
"Me too" Brittany says in relief. She wanted Santana to know but she didn't know how to say it so she's glad Santana has said something now. "I don't think we can just fall back into how we used to be without dealing with things first" she points out.
"I know and I totally agree" Santana nods.
"It has been really good to kind of forget about everything tonight and to just relax with a glass of wine and enjoy each other's company" Brittany says.
"It has and hopefully we'll get there again" Santana says optimistically.
"I hope so too" Brittany agrees. They fall into a silence for a moment as they just sit with each other, Santana still holding onto Brittany's hand and their legs still brushed together.
"I still love you" Santana admits, breaking the silence.
"I know you do" Brittany nods. She knows Santana well enough to know what they did have was genuine. She still loves Santana so she knows Santana isn't going to fall out of love that quickly when she knows they felt the same about one another.
"I never meant to hurt you" Santana adds. "I've mentioned it numerous times before that I'm insecure and for some reason it just flared up again in me even though I know I meant a lot to you."
"Deep down I think I know that but it is hard to get over and understand" Brittany admits.
"I get that and I want to explain things more so if you don't mind, I'd like us to talk now" Santana replies.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"I don't want a fight though so can we promise to hear each other out first before we get all high about the situation" Santana says.
"Yeah" Brittany nods again.
XXX
After having a long talk together and explaining to each other what happened, Brittany and Santana seem a little clearer on what went wrong. They both understand the other person's feelings and know why they each did what they did. It doesn't make it any easier to hear though because it just reminds them about how happy they were before things went sour. When they first got together, they thought they had been through a lot so nothing would ruin that again but it did so it frustrated them.
"What are we doing right now?" Santana asks. She's not really sure how things go from here.
"We're getting back on track by starting as friends again" Brittany replies. This is the first night there hasn't been any awkwardness around them so she wants to ease in slowly and do things properly. Jumping into a relationship right now would mess things up so it's friends and then slowly work back towards being together.
"But you are open to possibly getting back together with me?" Santana asks.
"That's always been the goal" Brittany smiles.
"Ok" Santana sighs in relief.
"We need to talk about things though if we feel we need to talk. We can't just bottle it up because we're scared it'll mean we won't get back together" Brittany points out.
"I understand that" Santana smiles.
"So, since we're friends now, we can start hanging out properly" Brittany says and Santana nods. "Let's start now and put this shit off the TV and watch something more fun."
"Good idea" Santana laughs. She didn't want to admit it but the movie was really boring her to tears.
It's another two months later and things have been going great for Brittany and Santana. They're not a couple yet but they've had a really good two months together. They've hung out lots together and even went to a few events together to keep each other company. Santana had a work party so Brittany accompanied her and Brittany got invited to a party for someone she did a few catering gigs for so Santana went with her. They also have breakfast together every morning and when Brittany doesn't have a lot going on, she makes Santana some lunch to take to work with her. Santana has also helped steer Brittany in the right line with her catering company regarding finances since she has a degree in finance.
"Hey honey" Brittany smiles as Santana walks into the apartment after a hard day of work.
"Hey" Santana smiles back. She has to admit; the pet name really made her tingle a little with warmth. It's been a while since they've been like that with one another.
"I'm just making some dinner right now for us" Brittany says as she walks to the kitchen with Santana following her. "I hope you haven't eaten yet" she adds as an afterthought.
"I haven't" Santana replies. Secretly she was hoping they could sit down to dinner together.
"Good" Brittany smiles again. "I have to admit, I do have an ulterior motive tonight as to why I'm making you dinner."
"Ok" Santana says excitedly. She really hopes this could finally be them getting back together.
"I know I've been taking up a lot of your time recently but I need some financial advice again" Brittany points out.
"Oh" Santana says, feeling a little less excited now.
"I know, I'm sorry. I will stop annoying you after tonight. I just need one last bit of help" Brittany says feeling bad for pestering Santana all the time.
"Don't apologise" Santana smiles. "I just thought you were going to say something else but it's ok, I'm happy to help you" she assures Brittany.
"Ok good" Brittany smiles back. Once dinner is ready, they sit down together in the kitchen and begin eating.
"I like when we sit down properly and eat instead of sitting in front of the TV with our plates on our laps" Santana says.
"Yeah, me too" Brittany agrees. She won't admit it aloud right now but she prefers eating at a table more because it's more date like than sitting slumped on the couch, spilling food everywhere.
After they finish eating, Santana insists on clearing up alone since Brittany made dinner. Brittany has been making them dinner a lot recently so Santana figured the least she could do was doing the washing up and tidying up. Brittany has been putting in the effort with regards them so she's going to do the same. They're now sitting in the living room together, just relaxing.
"Can I speak to you about that financial thing now?" Brittany asks.
"Sure, fire away" Santana smiles.
"Ok so I was dropping the birthday cake off for that party today and I was speaking to this lady and we got talking about careers and stuff and she said she knew of this job opening so I need your opinion on it because it's not for me" Brittany replies.
"Ok" Santana nods.
"From the point of view of someone with a financial degree, is this the kind of job someone like you would be looking for?" Brittany wonders as she shows Santana the advert on her phone. Santana studies the job advert for a moment working out what it is and all the qualifications they need. It's for the position of a financial adviser for a large banking agency.
"Definitely" Santana nods. "It's only a training position but with the hope of becoming a fully trained financial advisor so I would definitely say it's the right job. It's also a paid position so while they're being trained, they're being compensated and it has the potential to lead to a permanent job with a great salary and benefits" she adds.
"That's what I thought so fill your boots" Brittany smiles brightly at Santana.
"What?" Santana asks confused.
"You're perfect for it so apply for the job babe" Brittany tells Santana.
"Did you just call me babe?" Santana asks taken aback. She certainly hasn't been called that by Brittany in a very long time.
"That's what you took from that" Brittany laughs. "I found you the perfect job and all you heard was me calling you babe" she says.
"Right, sorry" Santana says realising. "It does look like a great position for me but I graduated a long time ago so I don't think they'll want me. They'll want someone recently graduated who has fresh knowledge" she admits.
"I spoke to the lady and she is keen to hear from you so you could really be in with a shot here" Brittany replies. She pulled a few strings for this so Santana should at least be guaranteed an interview for the job.
"Thank you so much Brittany" Santana says while excitedly hugging her.
"You're smart so have some confidence about this" Brittany tells Santana.
"Will you come with me if I get the chance of an interview?" Santana asks.
"I'll do whatever you want to help you" Brittany says honestly. She wants Santana to get another job so bad because she really hates where she is working so she'll do whatever it takes to help.
"Thank you" Santana says gratefully. "I'll fill out the application tomorrow because I'm too tired tonight so I don't want to write something stupid" she adds.
"That's fair enough" Brittany smiles. "Hey, can I ask you something personal?" she asks after a moment or so.
"Sure" Santana shrugs.
"What did you think I wanted to talk about earlier?" she asks. She noticed Santana seemed a little down when she said it was something financial.
"I thought it was going to be about us and when I say us, I mean as in relationship wise" Santana clarifies.
"Oh" Brittany says surprised.
"I thought maybe you were going to tell me we could get back together" Santana admits.
"Is that something that you want?" Brittany asks.
"Of course I still want that but it's been a long time so do you still want that?" Santana asks.
"I definitely do" Brittany nods. "I just want us to tread carefully" she admits.
"I know but I don't want to hang on waiting on something that might not ever happen so I need to know you still want that" Santana says.
"I do" Brittany assures Santana.
"I got asked out on a date tonight" Santana admits quietly.
"That's nice" Brittany nods.
"I said no" Santana replies.
"You don't have to say no because of me" Brittany assures Santana.
"I do have to say no because I want to get back together with you. I know we can't right now but it doesn't mean I'm going to stray from you. You're who I want to be with and you're who I will be with as soon as you think it's appropriate" Santana states.
"I am serious about us, I just need some time" Brittany says. "I'm glad you said no to the date though" she smiles.
"I'm glad too" Santana smiles back. "Anyway, I'm a little tired so I might head to bed now" she says.
"Ok, talk to you in the morning" Brittany says while hugging Santana before she leaves.
Santana then changes for bed and brushes her teeth before settling in bed. She falls asleep almost instantly which isn't a surprise really since she's been so tired recently. She's just having a nice dream when she hears her name being called and her bed slightly dip behind her.
"Santana" Brittany whispers.
"Yeah?" Santana asks tiredly as she turns around to face Brittany. Brittany doesn't respond right away, instead she smiles at Santana for a moment before leaning in and kissing her. "Ok, I'm awake" she says, suddenly feeling as bright as button.
"Go on a date with me on Friday" Brittany states. She doesn't so much as ask Santana; she more so tells her.
"Uh…ok" Santana replies. She was never going to say no anyway. "Why have you changed your mind so suddenly. I thought you wanted some more space to think?" she asks confused.
"I thought about it the whole time you were in bed tonight and I realise now that maybe I have been ripping the piss out of things so let's go on a date. There's space and there's outer space and the time I have waited is more like the distance to outer space than giving someone space" Brittany replies.
"Ok" Santana smiles.
"The fact people are asking you out did also help because I don't want that happening again so I need to get things back on track and stat" Brittany states.
"That's cute" Santana smiles again. She gets it though because if anyone asks Brittany out then she'll be all over them and not in a good way. She doesn't share Brittany so she gets why Brittany doesn't want her with anyone else.
"Seriously though, let's get back to how we used to be because it's been too long" Brittany says.
"I agree" Santana nods. "Do you want to spend the night with me?" she asks while lifting the cover up so Brittany can get in.
"I don't want to rush things too much. Maybe we should date first and then…"
"I didn't mean for sex; I meant for comfort. I just really miss lying next to you" Santana replies, cutting Brittany off.
"Ok, I can do that then" Brittany smiles while quickly getting under the covers with Santana.
