Chapter 17

A/N Hey guys. Natxtk helped me with this chapter. You should really check out her stories. I'm in the middle of one now and it's REALLY good. Enjoy the chapter!

Brittany's POV

"Alright, guys good job today!" I said as I turned off the music, "You can just do your cool down stretches and then go," I told everyone.

I only watched as they began their stretches, I wanted to stay back for a bit and just dance by myself for a bit. I needed a distraction; I hadn't really seen Santana in the last few days. She's called and texted about wanting too see me but I managed to come up with an excuse each time, I think I just needed a little space for a few days.

When all the students had left I turned on the music again. It was loud and I was glad for it, it helped block out the world. But even in then part of my mind was still on Santana.

After about half an hour I decided I had danced enough for the day. I started to pack up my things when I heard a voice behind me.

"You're really good at dancing," I knew that voice.

"Marley?" I asked turning around and sure enough she was standing there.

"Hey, Brittany right?" she asked smiling at me.

"Yeah, what are you doing here?"

"I just started classes with Mike a week ago, I didn't know you had lessons here too"

"I'm actually a teacher," I told her.

"Wow, even more sexy," she flirted as she walked closer. I back up a little.

"Um thanks. Is there something you wanted?" Brittany asked.

"Actually, I'm having trouble with one of the steps that Mike was teaching me. I was wondering if you could help me?" she asked, a pleading look on her face.

"I guess I could help," I nodded, "Why don't you show me the step"

"Okay," she agreed.

Marley walked to the middle of the room, she did a few steps and then she did one that she stumbled on. She caught herself and look up with an embarrassed look on her face.

"See I can't do it," she shrugged.

"No, I'm sure you can if you practice it. I think I know what you did wrong anyway, let me show you"

I went and stood next to Marley, I copied the steps I just saw her do and then completed the move that I thought she had been trying to do.

"You're such a talented dancer," Marley complimented as I saw her eyes scanned my body. I just nodded; it was slightly uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Uhh, why don't you just try again? But this time instead of stepping like this," I showed her what she had done, "You step like this," I showed her the proper way to do the step.

"I think I can do that"

Marley started to dance again; I watched her legs to make sure that she was doing it right. I saw her step slightly wrong; I reached out just in time to catch her so she didn't fall. She clutched my arms breath hard from the fright of almost falling.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I am because of you. Thanks for catching me," Marley husked.

"Its-"

"Brittany?" I heard Santana's voice by the door. My head snapped in that direction, I saw her standing there with flowers in her hand, "What's going on here?"

I looked at Marley and realised what this must have looked like. I quickly let go of my hold on Marley.

"Nothing!" I exclaimed.

"It doesn't look like it," she snapped at me and I flinched.

"Nothing was happening I swear on my life," Santana ignored me, instead she marched into the room pointing at Marley.

"Look you little puta! That is my girlfriend you're flirting with, so back off!"

"Well obviously you're not doing a very good job, I can tell Brittany likes me more than you!" Marley retorted.

"Not likely," Santana scoffed.

"Who was just in her arms a second ago?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

A loud slap echoed through the room. Marley stood there clutching her cheek.

"Pay backs a bitch isn't it," Santana smirked.

"You little!" Marley launched herself at Santana pulling at her hair.

Brittany decided it was her time to intervene. She grabbed Santana around the waist and pushed Marley off of her.

"Let go of me Brittany!"

"No, we're going now," I said as I picked up my bag and carried her out the room.

"Bye Brittany!" I heard Marley shout from behind me, I didn't bother to answer.

We got halfway down the block when Santana's struggling got too much for me. I put her down on the ground.

"So she's what's been keeping you so busy over these last few days," Santana snapped, walking away from me. I followed.

"No, she just appeared there today, she has classes with Mike and she wanted my help with a move"

"Why couldn't she ask Mike for help then?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask" I said reaching out to grab her hand, but she jerked away from me.

"Because you wanted to hold her so badly!" Santana shouted.

"That's not what happened! She fell and I caught her!" I pleaded trying to get her to understand.

"You know how she treated me when we were at Breadstix and she flirted with you and you knew I didn't like it, yet you still help her!"

"She just asked and I said yes! I didn't realise it would be such a big deal, you're over reacting!"

"I am not over reacting, you, my girlfriend, were just holding another girl in your arms that wasn't me!"

"I was teaching her to dance!"

"You know what, if you can't see what you've done wrong here I'm going. And these were for you," she shoved the crumbled flowers at my chest before walking past me.

"No Santana wait-" I started to follow her again.

"Don't follow me," she snapped. I listened to her; I knew going after her would most likely make things worse. So I just stood there and watched her walk away, not being able to do anything about it.

Brittany's Pov

I've called santana at least a dozen times, but she still hasn't answered. It's been a whole two days since the fight. If you ask me I'm not really sure what I did wrong. I was simply helping a student, who just so happened to be marley. It's not like I slept with her. All we did was dance. Nothing wrong with that right? I'm standing in front of santana's apartment door. I know she told me to leave her alone, but I want answers. I knocked on the door and waited for a while before she opened the door.

She looked like she hadn't slept in days. She took one look at me and started to close the door, but I put my foot in the way before she could. "Santana, wait." I said pushing the door open, so I could fit some of my body in. "Don't just shut me out. I deserve to know what I did so wrong." I said pleading.

She looked at me with no expression in her face. "You have one minute." She said opening the door so I could walk in.

If someone happen to walk in the would most likely be suffocated by the tension. I took a deep breath preparing my self for this conversation. "I just wanna know what I did wrong, san." I said sitting down on the couch.

She sat down on the couch next to me. "What do you mean you don't know what you did wrong?! You were dancing my someone else, who also happens to be marley who has a crush on you!" She said standing up flailing her arms.

"I get that san, but I was only teaching her a dance move. There's no law against that!" I said starting to get frustrated.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's not about dancing. It's the fact that you helped her when you've seen how she's treated me." She said looking hurt. "I wanted to tell you something very important yesterday, and she ruined it." She said.

I could see the tears forming in her eyes. I stepped closer to her putting my hand on her forearm. "What did you want to tell me san?" I whispered.

She looked up at me and a tear escaped her eye and started to roll down her cheek. I was quick to wipe it away, not liking that I caused her to hurt like this. She shook her head, "It doesn't matter anymore." She said sitting down on the couch.

I sat down next to her putting my hand on her knee. "Sna, you can tell me anything. Just tell me." I said really anxious to her what she had to tell me.

She looked up at me with a scared expression. I nodded telling her it was ok. I..B-britt...I..um..lo..um-" She sighed before looking down taking deep breaths.

"It's ok san." I said squeezing her knee.

"I..love..you." She whispered.

My head snapped up when she said that. She loves me? "You love me?" I said in a whisper. She nodded her head. "You love me." I said a little louder. "Can you maybe say it?" I asked.

She let out a small chuckle." I love you Brittany Susan Pierce." She said.

I leaned in kissing her on the lips. "I love you too Santana Isabelle Lopez." I said kissing her once more. I pulled away only for her to whine with annoyance. "Are we ok now?" I asked.

"I would think so. I mean, I just told you that I loved you, and you said it back, so yeah. We're good." She said kissing me once more.

I pulled away with one of the biggest smiles. "We're more than good. We're perfect." I said resting my head in the crook of her neck. "I love you." I said once more time. I lifted my head so I could see her face.

"I love you too." She said leaning in for a passionate kiss. That was the first night that we made love. It was everything I could ever imagine and more.
