MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Here's a new chapter for all of you. I really struggled with this chapter so I'm not sure if I like how it turned out but I hope you guys like it. Please leave me a review with your thoughts. :D

Can you guess the movie Brittany refers to at the very end of the chapter?

Italics is thoughts

The day passed by so incredibly slow for Brittany. She just wanted Santana to be there with her. At least before the sun went down because Santana had informed her that if the sun went down that she probably wouldn't see her until tomorrow. So she wished for a miracle in hopes that she would make it. Brittany even made sure that she had finished all her homework before Santana arrived.

She actually did it the right way this time though. Last year she usually spent her time doodling or writing stories within her homework. That way when Santana asked her "Did you finish your homework?" She could answer yes without feeling guilty because in her mind she had, just not the right way. This time around she was determined to get the best grades she could. Actually prove to not only herself but others too, that she was smart. That she wasn't that word that everyone seemed to label her as. She was smart. Just in her own way. Santana always seemed to see it but she wanted to actually see it herself.

However as time went by the sun slowly fell down behind the houses leaving the sky as dark as it could be with the moon gleaming down. By this point Brittany had given up hope that Santana was going to get there in time so she got ready for bed and just laid there in bed hoping that the next day would begin in no time. All she wanted to do was see her again. Feel her against her skin. Kiss her. Love her. She wouldn't even need words; just too look upon that beautiful face would suffice.

Before she knew it, her eyes began to droop and she drifted off into a deep sleep. Her mind immediately took her to the movie she had watched earlier and she found herself standing in the middle of Antarctica.

XXXXXXXXX

By the time Santana had arrived in Lima, Ohio, the sun had already gone down and the only light came from her headlights and the street lights as she drove down a very familiar street. One she often drove down every day since she got her drivers at sixteen. Usually a bubbly blonde would have been in the passenger's seat excited to find out where they would be going that day. They often hung out at one of their houses every day, practically attached at the hip. She pulled up to a house she once called home and parked her car in the driveway next to a blue SUV.

After she was sure she had gathered everything from inside her car, she walked to the back of her car and pulled out her duffle bag full of her clothes and such for this trip. She made her way up the brick steps to the front door, looked in her bag and realized something, "Crap! I left my keys in Louisville." She looked around feeling like an idiot. In her rush to get out of her dorm room she must have left them there since her dorm keys weren't attached to her house keys. "I hope someone is still awake." She mumbled to herself as she knocked on the door while she looked at her phone. It's only 9 o'clock, I'm sure someone's still awake.

Just then the door slowly opened and broke Santana from her haze. A tall woman peered out. Santana could see the light flick on inside her mind as the door flew open, "Why hello, Santana. How's it been?" The tall woman with short blonde hair asked.

"Um, good. School's been going as well as expected but being that it's thanksgiving weekend I thought I'd come home and spend time with Brittany." She explained to the mother of her girlfriend. "Is Britt here?" Her question almost had a sense of worry in it that maybe Brittany wasn't home just because Brittany always answered the door especially if she knew Santana was coming over. So it was odd to see Britt's mom at the door instead.

"Oh yes, of course she is. Come in." She motioned for Santana to walk into the house. "I am curious to know why it is that you are here. Especially since Brittany had made it seem earlier that you weren't going to come over if it were dark." Her face scrunched up confused.

Santana shrugged, "That's true but I only said that just in case it was way too late for me to come over. Since it's only nine I thought I could come over and possibly stay over?" Her eyes gave it away fully that she had that thought in mind from the moment the door opened but she wanted to make sure Brittany's mom was going to be fine with it.

"Well… being that you're only here for a few days I'll allow it just as long as you two don't get too loud." Brittany's mom looked at Santana sternly about the noise. She of course was referring to talking loud but it was clear that Santana had another thing on her mind. "By the way, where are your keys? You usually just come in." She asked curious. It made sense that she not have any keys because Santana and her daughter had broken up for some time but Brittany had told her that Santana kept them. So she should have them yet she knocked on the door.

"Yeah, I seemed to have left them in my dorm room. I honestly have no idea how I forgot them." She smiled bashfully. "Oh well, at least you were still awake."

Brittany's mom nodded, "Yes, well Tori and my husband and I are watching a movie in the basement. I just came up for something to drink. So you're lucky that I was up here because I don't think anyone would have heard the door otherwise."

Santana looked at her confused, "If Britt isn't downstairs watching with you guys, where is she? I didn't know it were possible for her to say no to a movie."

"I think she may be asleep. Last I checked she was getting ready for bed. However if you two feel like watching Avatar, feel free to come down and watch." She suggested.

Santana smiled, "Okay Mrs. Pierce. I'll make sure to ask Britt once I get up there."

With that the blonde walked back toward the kitchen and Santana made her way up the stairs carrying her duffle bag.

She approached Brittany's unusually quiet room and noticed there was no light coming out from under her door. Could she be asleep already just as Mrs. Pierce had said? Santana pondered to herself as she pushed the door careful not to make too much noise if Brittany was in fact asleep on the other side. As the room was filled with light from the hallway, it was very clear that Brittany had gone to sleep. She was curled up under her comforter with that cute little grin she always had on her face when she was having some kind of cute dream. Santana neared the bed placing her duffle bag and purse on the ground off to the side before she sat down on the edge of the bed and just stared at the girl of her dreams. The one she let slip from her fingertips. She vowed that that was not going to happen again.

She couldn't help but to brush a stray hair away from Brittany's face. Just then the blonde mumbled, "We have to teach the penguins to dance…" Santana smiled. She must have watched Happy Feet recently.

"Britt," her voice could be barely heard. She didn't want to startle the girl awake so she spoke quietly. "Wake up." Not getting any response from the girl, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on the blonde's forehead. When she pulled back she watched as the girl in front of her slowly opened her eyes.

Brittany blinked a couple of times trying to determine who it was that just woke her up from her happy penguin dream. That didn't work to get the sleep from her eyes so she rubbed her eyes with her hands. Finally when she was sure she was awake she realized who was in front of her, "Santana…?" It came out as more of a question because she wasn't sure if her eyes were betraying her or not. They had before so she needed to make sure that this was in fact Santana.

"Hey Britt, sorry for waking you up but I couldn't wait until tomorrow," She smiled as she couldn't help but lace her fingers with Brittany's. She needed that contact. It had been so long since she had touched Brittany. She was going to get as much contact as possible over her visit because she didn't know how long it would be before she could come back to Lima.

Brittany couldn't contain the smile that spread across her face, "You're really here, but I thought you said you wouldn't come over if it was dark?" She asked rather confused.

"I know Britt but I didn't know what the traffic was going to be like so I didn't want to say I would be here and then not show up." She couldn't help but play with Brittany's fingers within her grasp.

"Well I'm glad you're here." All sign of sleep was gone from her being. Unlacing her fingers, Brittany finally sat up from her position on the bed, pulled her legs from under the comforter and scooted closer to Santana. Her legs falling around Santana so she was right up close to her. As if Santana got the hint, Brittany didn't even need to ask before Santana's lips were on her own. The taste of her berry lip Chap Stick on Santana's red lips was a feeling she remembered all too well. Their entire relationship came rushing back in a storm as they remembered what each other enjoyed. It was as though they weren't broken up for that month and a half at all.

Brittany's left hand landed on Santana's thigh as her right hand was up around Santana's neck pulling her as close as possible. She wanted Santana to feel how much she missed her. Santana pulled back ever so slightly to suck on Brittany's lower lip causing a moan to escape the blonde making Santana grin in the process. Going back to her lips, their tongues battled it out for dominance. Santana wanted nothing more than to just drop everything and be with her right here in this moment, but she didn't want to rush it so she pulled back reluctantly.

"Wow…" was all Santana could get out. "Missed me hey?"

All Brittany could do was nod.

"I missed you too Britt," she said fanning herself feeling like the temperature in the room had increased since the moment she entered it earlier.

Trying to distract herself from the tingling feeling she was feeling from the closeness, Brittany spoke up and said, "So are you staying the night or what?"

Santana stood up to grab some stuff from her duffle bag, "Yes I am actually. So why don't you let me go get changed and then we can chat for a bit before bed. I know you have school tomorrow so I wouldn't want you staying up too late." She said as she pulled out some PJs.

She headed for the door before Brittany asked, "Where are you going? You can change in here. We've seen each other naked on numerous occasions." The grin on her face was not very well hidden.

Santana could see the mischievous look on Brittany's face, "You're right. However we haven't seen each other naked for a while and while I would love to get it on with you tonight, I don't want to rush it. So I will change in the bathroom and then we can just be together, okay?"

"Okay," Brittany wasn't sad or angry at Santana's suggestion, rather she was excited. As much as she too wanted to re-explore their sexual relationship, she wanted to re-get to know the girl she fell in love with.

With that Santana left the room with everything she needed to get ready.

XXXXXXXXX

When she came back into the room Brittany was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling. "What are you doing Britt?" She asked placing her clothes on her duffle bag.

Brittany leaned up on her elbows so she could look at Santana, "I'm just waiting for you." The blonde finally took in Santana's appearance and the temperature in the room began to increase again. Santana was wearing very normal pajama attire but for Brittany it was the fact that her black tank top was very tight fitted. It appeared as though Santana hadn't fully recovered from their kiss earlier as it looked like her nipples were showing through the fabric. Not to mention, the shorts she was wearing showed off her deliciously long caramel legs. Brittany was close to drooling, Santana looked so gorgeous.

"Could you keep it in your pants for like two seconds Britt?" Santana said pulling Brittany out of her lust-filled staring as she got under the covers with the blonde.

"What?" She snapped out of her trance and looked up at Santana's face. "I can't admire your incredible body?"

Santana was now under the covers lying not too far from Brittany. She propped up her head on her elbow as she looked over at Brittany, "Well you can but with that glint in your eye, I can tell you don't want to talk. You have other things on your mind Ms. Pierce."

"Well I think you would too, if I was dressed like you. I'm not as attractive in my ducky pajamas." She lifted up the comforter for Santana to check out her yellow ducky pajama pants and the t-shirt with the big yellow duck.

"Oh I don't know, you are more attractive than you think there Britt," Santana smiled trying to make Brittany feel equal to her. She had known from the moment she met the blonde that Brittany just wanted to be seen as the same. Not the same, in that she wanted to blend but more of an equal. People had always looked upon her as the dumb one. Santana however saw her in a different light.

The smile that appeared on Brittany's face said it all. She was pleased that Santana looked at her wacky pajamas with the same type of hunger that she did for Santana's outfit. Then again, she was fairly sure that the reasoning behind it was because they hadn't been in this close proximity since Grease.

Santana couldn't help but notice everything from the fruity shampoo scent that Brittany always used, to the softness of her skin. There was a small part of her that wanted to just forget about her rule and jump right back into their relationship ten-fold. However the bigger part of her knew that sex could wait. She wanted to re-get to know this Brittany all over again.

"What are you thinking about?" Brittany asked noticing that Santana looked like she was in a distant land. She repositioned herself so her head was on the pillows looking up at Santana.

Santana figured out what Brittany was doing and repositioned herself as well to lay her head on the pillow and looked straight at Brittany. "I was thinking about you." It was as though her hand had a mind of its own as it lifted and cupped Brittany's cheek. This made Brittany's eyes close and relish in the feeling of having that hand on her again. "And how much I missed you."

Brittany's eyes opened once again as she felt the loss of contact but she didn't want to lose it so she reached out and couldn't help but run her fingers along Santana's right arm that was resting against the bed while her left was under her head. "I missed you too." She looked lovingly into Santana's eyes trying to convey just how much she missed the woman lying in front of her.

Santana couldn't take it anymore, looking into the glistening blue eyes that were just so captivating, she felt transfixed on one idea and one idea alone. She moved closer to Brittany, feeling the heat radiating off the girl as she leaned in and captured the blonde's lips once more. It started off slow, no movement of hands, just the feel of each other's lips. Then came Brittany's side of dominance, she leaned into Santana's body pushing her onto her back as she partially laid upon her, her lips never leaving the brunette's.

"Britt…" Santana tried to get in as Brittany moved onto her neck.

Brittany always did know the best places to suck and nip. Her lips kissed along Santana's jawline and down onto her neck toward her pulse point. That was the one place that she could, in a sense, control Santana because the moans of pleasure that came from sucking on that one point turned her to jelly and she knew it.

"Brittany!"

Brittany finally stopped her travel midway on the caramel neck. "Yeah?"

Once Santana had Brittany's full attention, her eyes looking right at hers, she spoke, "This is really amazing and I truly do want to re-discover every single area of your body…." Her mind faltered for a second as she thought about finding all those places on Brittany's naked body that would drive her crazy.

Brittany snapped her fingers in front of Santana, "You were saying…"

"Right," Her head jolted back up to Britt's face. "Sorry, Um… I was saying that I just want to be with you tonight. Just the love and the emotions, not the physical. Not to say that I don't want it. Man do I but I just think that we shouldn't jump right back into… you know us. Does that make sense?"

Brittany pulled back a little so she could lay her head back on the pillow, Santana's pillow, so their faces were practically right next to each other. "I guess so."

"Awe… come here," Santana opened her arms so that Brittany would get the hint and rest her head right above Santana's breast. "We'll be together for the entire weekend even tomorrow while you're at school."

Brittany's head shot up to look Santana in the eye, "You mean you're going to get up early and come to all my classes tomorrow? Just like old times." She asked excited that her best friend was going to go to school with her.

"Well I'm not sure if they will allow me in your classes but I'll definitely go to school with you for sure. We do have to tell everyone about us anyway." Santana pointed out as Brittany put her head back down. "I want to spend as much time as possible with you. Fight your battles, that kind of thing." That last bit seemed to affect Brittany and Santana could tell even if she couldn't see her eyes. "What is it Britt? Has someone been bullying you?"

Brittany tried her best to shake her head lying the way she was but she couldn't get it across very well, "No… well I don't think so but there is this one girl, you know her, her names Kitty."

"What about Kitty?" Santana asked already fuming at the thought of this bitch bullying her girlfriend. I always knew that bitch was evil.

"Well, I don't think she means to do it but she does say things that make me feel horrible sometimes." Brittany confessed.

Santana shook her head as she ran her fingers along Brittany's back. "Well don't think about it right now. We'll talk about it tomorrow. For now, why don't you just sleep?" She pulled the covers farther up their bodies and Brittany snuggled more into Santana's side. Her left leg and arm draped over Santana's body.

"I love you Santana," Brittany said as she could feel her eyes beginning to lose the battle to stay awake.

Santana smiled at Brittany's attempt to stay awake, "I love you too." She said in a whisper as she could feel the girl on top of her slowly fall asleep. She too closed her eyes and began to drift off just as she heard.

"Genie, we need more camels over there…"

Santana couldn't help but smile at how adorable Brittany's dreams really can be.
