That Saturday afternoon couldn't be worst. No dancing, no notices from Sam, nothing good at the television, and when I thought about going out for a walk, it started raining...but it was still so damn hot.
So that was me, laid on the couch, zapping without looking at the television. Thinking, in what could I do for not die there.
Knock Knock
Someone was knocking on my door? Oh my good, I freaked out, none knew that I lived in there, anyone...what if it was...? I couldn't open the door, I was so scared to do that so I thought in a different plan. I opened the window and went out of the house for it. I turned the corner to see who was the person who knocked my door. But I only saw the back of a medium-height man or woman with a black hoodie covering her or his head . What if he or she was a burglar? I didn't control myself and I actuated without thinking. I ran and I just jumped over that person. Both fell into the ground.
-''DAMN IT! ARE YOU CRAZY?''.-Santana shouted still under me. Oh my god, I hadn't thought in her at all! Of course she knew where I lived! But I'd never imagined her to come to see me!
-''Oh...Oh...I'm so sorry''.-I moved to let her strand up. She was really wet.
-''Are you always like that? Normal people open the door and invite to come into! Please, tell me that it wasn't a London tradition''.-She said laughing and giving me her hand to stand up too. I thought it would be worst, she is normally in a bad mood.
-''No! Sorry, I was alone at home and I thought that you were a thief or something''
-''Ohhhh, and instead of calling the police you just attack?''-She said with a smirk.-''You're a badass''.
I smiled at her, and she looked at me right in the eyes. Wow, her's were so dark.
-''Come in''.-I said opening the door and making a bow. She laughed-''To what do I owe this honor?''
-''Well, I came her to ask you for a date''.-She said with smirking. I automatically blushed and open my eyes as much as possible. She waited two more seconds-''You know...Breadstix, we had a dinner for two...for killing it at Berry's party''
-''Ohhhh! I forgot it! Well...if you want you can go with your boyfriend...''-I said kindly. I didn't mind it and if she wanted to go with him it wasn't a problem. What are we going to talk after all?.
-''Boyfriend?''.-She said shocked.-''Oh! Do you mean Puck? He's not my boyfriend he is just...a friend with benefits...''-She looked at the floor.-''And I don't want to go with him, he's a little bit angry since all the shit of the glee club...''
-''Okay then! I'll be your date.''-Now it was Santana who blushed and looked me shocked.-''Joking''.-And she laugh with her beautiful smile.
-''When do you want to go?''
-''mmmmm...Today?''.-She didn't expect my answer. She closed her eyes to think and I waited in silence.
-''Yes, I why not? I haven't got something better to do''.-She smiled, and then doubted, like she wanted to say something but she didn't know how.-''mmm...Brittany, I came here for another reason too...''
-''Soooo? Oh, sorry, do you want something warm? You're really wet, Don't you know something called umbrella?''.-I automatically ran to the kitchen to make some coffee. I had plenty of them, my boss gave it like a present but it was just because it was left over.
-''Of course, but when I left my house, it wasn't raining''.-She followed me while she took off her hoodie. Why wasn't she frozen? She was only wearing a red t-shirt. She sat down in one chair, looking at her nails. And I waited patiently until she was ready to talk.
-''I came here to apologize for what happened in the glee club. I feel really guilty''.-She was still looking at her nails. I couldn't believe it, Santana Lopez apologizing without being drunk! She might have felt so bad...
-''Don't worry Santana, but it's not me who you should say sorry to''.-I said looking for her look.
-''Yeah I know, but I just can't say that to him, he would laugh at me or maybe he also gets more angry...he's going to think that is not a real sorry...could you, could you just tell him? He'll listen to you, and I won't be so ashamed...''.-She looked me right in the eyes impatient for my answer. I took my time to think...well, she should learn how to apologize...but I couldn't say no to her...
-''Okay, fine, I'll tell him''-I turned around to take two cups of coffee and served she one. She jumped of his seat and started giggling, she was as happy as me when she got me a new audition.
-''Thank you so much''.-She said sitting again and catching her cup.-''Are you still alone at home? Didn't your parents arrive?''.-She drank a sip of coffee and smiled.
-''mmm yeah, they're still out, they left me alone for a while...''-I don't like lying at all, I felt really uncomfortable and I couldn't stop looking at the floor. She nod her head.
-''What time do you want to have dinner?''- I breath in relief, thanks god I didn't have to lie more.
-''Oh...I don't mind at all...half past nine?''
-''Fine''.-She strand up and took her hoodie from the chair next to her.-''I'll come here for you, but only if you promise not to attack me again from my back''.-She laughed so hard, and I blushed remembering the scene.
-''Promise''.-I said opening the door for her.-''Oh, and here you are''-I gave her my umbrella, after all, I wasn't going to leave the house in the whole afternoon.
-''Thank you''-She winked-''Bye blondie''
I waited in the door until I couldn't see her anymore. Then I came into and breath deeply. Alone once again.
It was worst than my first date with Sam. I had no idea about what should I wear, and I didn't know why, but I was more nervous than when I went to the cinema with him. In one hand, it was clear that it wasn't a date, but in the other what if she wore one of her astonishing dresses and I just an old jumper.
It was quarter past nine and I was still dressing up. I decided a simple red dress and black heels shoes, I only prayed for not being too much. I was making me up when Santana knocked the door. Shit, she was earlier. I brushed my hair so fast and tried to run with that heels, but it was pretty hard, even after my lesion.
I opened the door, and I smiled, all my preoccupations went away when I saw the tan girl wearing a tight black dress and her usual pair of boots, as breathtaking as always. She gasp when she saw me, cool, I just hit it.
-''Wow, are you going to some party or something?''.-She still had her mouth open and a smirk appeared in my face.-''You look great!''
-''Thank you, you too. I'll take my things and we can go''-I ran to my bedroom with a little bit of difficult.
-''Are you sure this heels will be fine to you ankle?''.-She shouted from the living room
-''Don't worry, I can handle it''.-I shouted back.
I took my handbag and closed the door carefully, I didn't want Santana to see the empty room. She would figured out that I was a liar and she won't be my friend anymore. Wow, it sounded so weird...Santana Lopez, the Mckinley badass, my friend. I smiled thinking on it.
-''What? Why are you so happy?''.-Her face couldn't be more funny, she looked so confused.
-''Nothing, I'm happy for having a plan, I was really bored alone at home''.-I didn't know if I should have said that...she might think that I had no friends.
-''Fine, so glad to be your distraction''.-She said opening the door and smirking.
-''Is breadstix far from here?''.-I was worried for my feet, I needed be fine to my audition, maybe it was a stupid idea.
-''No, is really near...hey, I have a surprise for you, but later, after the dinner''
-''Are you going to ask me to marry you?''.-Fuck, I shouldn't say that. It was the first stupid thing I said...and I guessed that it wasn't going to be the last. I just closed my eyes and waited for her reaction. Two things could happen. One, she might find it funny, so everything would be cool, or she might think that I'm stupid, what it was the most probably option. Then I heard a laugh. Yes! She was laughing. I breath slowly. Thanks god.
-''No, but it's even better''.-She said still laughing.
-''You should have known that I'm a really curious person, now I need to know it...''.-I put the saddest face I knew. Maybe she felt bad and told me.
-''No way. You may be curious but I'm really stubborn''.-Once again, that smirk in her face, I was starting to get used to it.
-''Okay, I give up, but you should know that If I die because I choke trying to eat quickly to know the surprise it will be your fault''-I watched at her and she just smiled. Sooo, she wasn't going to tell me it, it didn't matter how hard I tried it, I would have to wait.
She wasn't lying. The place was really near my house, and it was very beautiful, the tables were red as the walls and there were a candle in every table. I loved candles, they were so peaceful and pretty. We sat down in a table near a window. Santana took the menu from my hand when I tried to read it.
-''Do you trust on me?''-Well...It was pretty early to trust on her, and less when everybody told me not to, but weirdly I do, I really trusted on her.
-''Yes''-She show me a sweet smile, I'd never seen that kind of smile before.
She lifted her hand to call the waitress, and she pointed a lot of things in the menu. The waitress nodned her head and wrote the things in a piece of paper and then she left really quickly.
-''You'll like it, I'm sure''-How she could be so sure if she didn't even know me? It was impossible. I ate every kind of things, that was true, but she didn't know that and she also was so confident.
-''Now, tell me about you, I'm going to have dinner with a complete strange! The only two thing I know from you are where do you live and that you dance fucking beautifully ! Oh and you're from London too''.
-''Well, there's not too much...my life is kind of boring''.-I rolled my eyes. In fact, it was the opposite, my life was a chaos before coming here but if I told that to Santana, it would be too much.
-''Oh come on, it couldn't be so bad...how's with Sam?''-I raised my eyes, I didn't expect the question.
-''Fine...or that's what I think. We had a discursion after all the glee stuff... but now we are just fine''.-She smiled, but she didn't look me in the eyes, she just kept their eyes looking at the table. The waitress arrive with our food and Santana laughed so loud when she said my happy face. Pasta and lobster? I didn't like it, I loved it! It really looked like a real date.
-''Wow''.-I only could say that, because my hungry didn't let me said anything else.
-''I knew it''.-She just said, smirking.
We ate all while we talked about everything. She told me that she was in the cheerio's team last year but coach Sue expelled her, and this yearshe needed another captain and Sue called her...and she liked. She didn't want to tell me why she got spelled, but she wasn't ready yet. I figured out that red was her favorite color and she loved singing, she did it since two years old. She learned a few thing from me too, like I didn't use to have many friends in my old high school and that I've been dancing since six. I told her that I loved painting too, but I had to stop doing it because of my mum. She told me that their parents were like that too, they didn't like her to go to the glee club, but she love it. Thanks god for that, because she had an amazing voice.
-''Now now now, it's time''.-I jumped in my place dying of curiosity.
-''Oh...true, I almost forgot it...''.-She looked in her handbag and she put two pieces of paper in the table. I took them and read what was written with big and black letters in there.
DISCO PARTY AT NIGHT'S
I didn't know what was that, so I stayed looking at Santana letting her explaining to me.
-''This is a party today at the Night's disco here in town, everybody is going to be and a friend gave me this they were pretty hard to get, we can go now if you want to''.-She said smiling. A party? now? I didn't know what to say...it was a gift so...why not?
-''Yes! It sounds really good''-She called the waitress to pay the count with the two papers that Rachel gave us,and I followed Santana to that disco. It was being a really cool night.
That Night's disco was a little bit far from the restaurant, but I could handle it. My ankle didn't hurt anymore, but I didn't want to fell into the ground once again and couldn't be able to dance in the audition.
A very big man stopped us in the door and Santana showed him the two green papers she showed me few minutes ago, the man looked at them carefully and then she made a sign to let us pass inside.
-''Heeeere we go''.-Santana shouted opening a very big door. The music sounded really loud and thousand of people were dancing in the dance floor. The bar was crowded too, plenty of people fighting to get a drink.
-''Follow me''.-She took my hand and guided me to the bar. There the music was lower and I could hear her without shouting too much.
-''What do you want?''.-She asked me pointing at the bar. Alcohol? Shit I don't know, last time was Sam who prepared me that disgusting drink I pretended to like. I didn't want to look like an innocent girl who never drunk alcohol, so I thought in an intelligent answer.
-''Surprise me like before!''.-I winked and she smiled, she knew exactly what to order. She entered in the crow of people and I waited for her moving my body from side to side looking at the dance floor. I was dying to dance. When I looked more carefully at the dance floor I could see some familiar faces. Puckerman was dancing with his fist in the air,hitting invisible things, and Quinn was dancing next to him too. Oh god, it wasn't good...if Santana saw that she would get mad...but then I saw Blaine and Kurt too, dancing really close, and those were Mercedes and Tina?
-''Here you are''.-She brought me an orange glass.
-''Wow, really quickly. What's that?''
-''It's an ability''.-She winked.-''Sex on the beach, you'll like it,I'm totally sure...once again''
I sip and my face automatically illuminated, it tasted like strawberry and peach, I loved it.
-''How did you kno...''
-''You're easy, that's all''.- Her wink was already in her face. The song changed suddenly. Oh god! my favorite song!I needed to go to dance.
-''Santana! let's dance!''
-''Oh no no, I don't dance''
-''Yes you do! I saw you! you danced with me.''
-That wasn't different...but go, I want to see you dance once again''
-''Are you sure?''-She nodned and I just ran to the dance floor.
I'm doing nothing,
Cause then at least I'm doing nothing wrong.
And I'm gonna stay here on my own
And turn off my telephone,
If nothings gained nothings won
I knew Santana was looking at me, so I tried to dance as good as I could, even whit that heels. But then, someone hugged me from my back. What the...?
-''What are you doing here alone blondie?''.-I looked right where Santana was first, and she was still in there, with a mix of sad and angry face. I turned around to see Sam's white Teeth. What he was doing in here?
-''Hey! I'm not alone! I came with Santana''.-I pointed her, but she had already left. Where she had gone now? Sam laughed.
-''With Santana? Babe...you should know that she's not a good friend for you...I don't want you to be hurt''.-He put his arms over my hips and I separated them. Was he drunk?
-''She's nice with me, and I'm older enough to decide who are my friends''.-I shouted. I was really angry. Why he didn't want me to be a friend of Santana? She wasn't as bad as they thought
-''Okaaaay...''-He shouted with his hands up.-''I'll let you alone, if you need me I'll be with the rest of the glee club''
I tried to look for Santana with my eyes without victory. Once again, someone put their hands in my hips...He was really tiring.
-''Sam I told you...''-But it wasn't Sam. The tan girl was behind me with that smirk in her face and furrowed her brow.
-''My mouth isn't big enough to be Sam''.-She said resting her hands in her hips. I laughed, right. She moved from side to side, spinning.
-''I thought you didn't dance''
-''And I don't...but the alcohol makes miracles''.-She took my hand and made me make a spin. Then she grabbed me against her chest and put her hand over my stomach. Oh god. When the other hand she moved my hair to a side and lifted a little. Was then when I realized that she was a little bit smaller than me.
-''I'm getting closer, closer. I'm moving in and yeah I think you know.''
She sang with his sweet and lovely voice. My heart started going fast for no reason.
-''Hey! look who is here!''-Someone shouted behind our back.
Santana let me go really quickly and she turned around to see Puckerman's and Rachel's face .
-''Hey guys!''-I said smiling. Santana didn't say anything.
-''What are you doing here alone? Come with us, we're having a really good time''.-Rachel shouted more as usual. I looked at Santana and she just shrank her shoulders. I didn't like the idea, I really wanted to spend the night with Santana like a few minutes ago...but It was rude saying no.
-''Why not?''.-Santana said.-''I'll go for more drinks, Britt?''
-''Yes please, the same''.-She smiled with my answer, and both knew why.
-''Wow, Santana Lopez smiling, are you high or something?''.-Puckerman said. I saw her smiling plenty of times in fact, It didn't look so weird to me.
-''Shut the fuck up Puckerman''- I saw her smiling plenty of time reciently, I didn't know why Puckerman said that...it wasn't weird.
Santana went to the bar and I followed the guys to where they were the first time I saw them. Sam wasn't already in there.
Santana hadn't stopped drinking in the whole night, If she continued like that, maybe I had to carry her to my home once again. I drank a lot too, but only because it tasted really good. I felt the effects of the alcohol really quickly at first, I couldn't speak or walk right, but now I was okay. When Santana offered me the fifth drink I said no, it was enough for a night, one should be fine to go home.
I needed to go to the bathroom so I crossed the dance floor to find it. There were more people than before, even when it looked impossible. When I finally arrived, the queue was huge and I had to wait at least fifteen minutes, but at the end I managed enter. In my way back, one thing caught my attention. On the dance floor, I saw someone who looked like Sam, but I only could see her back. He was dancing with someone. But it wasn't impossible, Puckerman told me that he had left hours ago to go home. I walked a little more, separating people of my way and looking right to that couple. Was then when I saw it. Quinn and Sam, dancing together,in the same position than Santana and I were dancing hours before. I couldn't believe it. Sam moved Quinn to see her in the eyes. And she lifted a little to kiss him. SHE WAS KISSING HIM! I couldn't believe it. Without any intention a tear rolled trough my cheek, and I ran out of the disco. How could he be so stupid? He cheated on me, he should tell me that he was still in love with Quinn, and I wouldn't mind. But he shouldn't have kissed me and then kissed another. I sat down in the pavement and breath deeply trying to think what to do know. It was for sure that Sam was history but it was supposed that I didn't see anything...someone walked difficultly after me and sat down next to me. Santana was there, trying to catch the straw of her glass with her tongue. She was kind of hilarious and I couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at me.
-''What?''
-''Nothing, nothing...''
Was then when I saw her hand. She was bleeding, but she was like anything was happening. Didn't she feel the pain or something?
-''Santana!''-I shouted and I scared her too much because she open her hand letting the glass broke into the ground.
-''Shit, see what you have done? What happen?''
I pointed her hand with my eyes wide. What happened? She was bleeding!
-''Ohhh...that. I hit Sam''
-''YOU DID WHAT?''.-I shouted even louder
-''I hit Sam. Trouty mouth hurt you, she was kissing that bitch''
Did she do that for me? I couldn't believe it.
-''Oh my god, but now you're hurt too''
-''That's nothing, I'm used to it''
I strand up to help her to do the same.
-''You didn't have to. Come on, let's go to my house, I couldn't let you appear like that in yours''
She strand up too
-''Yes, I had to. None hurt my friends.'' -We started walking, now she was good, she wasn't as drunk as in Rachel's. Suddenly she stopped.-''Oh! did you tell him that I was sorry for all what happened in the glee club?''
-''mmm nop. No yet''
-''Better. He's stupid, I'm not sorry''
She continued walking while I stayed for two seconds in my place smiling.
I didn't know if it was my problem or it was a problem of that stupid door but once again, I couldn't open the door.
-''You're druuuuuuuuunk''.-Santana sang behind me
-''No I'm not''
-''Let me try''.-She said smirking. And in her first try, she did it! And with her left hand which was the good one in that moment, because the other one was still bleeding-''You see? You're drunk, I'm fine''
-''No way, it was just luck''
We entered in the house and she sat down in the couch but I took her left hand and drove her to the bathroom, she needed some bandage and I'd got a few. I put her hand down the water and she made a horror sound.
-''Does it hurt?''.-I said worriedly
-''mmm no it stings a little, but it's okay''
When her hand was clean, I could see a little cut in her hand. Tomorrow it will be swollen, and it would be worst.I sat down on the floor and she too, I took her hand carefully and put it over my knees. And I started to put the bandage on it. She was smiling, even when I knew it hurt. She was so strong.
-''Britt...''.-She whispered.-''Thank you''
-''You don't have to say that, it's okay. You did it for me''
She smiled and let me end my job.
I let her the same clothes than the first time and then, we sat down in the couch to watch the TV. Everything in that was horrible, coops old movies and the news...they were always so sad. Then I turned the channel and a documentary appeared. Fine! Dogs and cats! They were really cute! Two seconds later, Santana was complaining.
-''No way, we're not going to see this''
-''Come on! Why not? They are adorable! Look at them!''
-''It's boring Britt! Change the channel''.-She pointed me, trying to accuse.
-''No way''
-''Britt...give me the remote''
-''No...''
She jumped over me trying to reach the remote, but I was faster than her and I hide it under my back.
-''Give it to me''
-''Nope, You'll have to find it''
She started touching my body trying to find where I hid the remote,until she arrived at my back. I knew she was going to find it so I started tickling. She fell over me laughing.
But then silence. She looked at me right in the eyes, smiling, she was so close. I didn't know why, but after that whole night I only wanted to kiss her. I'd never felt the same for a girl and I was freaked out. Why I wanted to kiss her? Of course I wouldn't do that, I didn't want to scare her too and lose a friend. She felt uncomfortable as me and she quickly moved on. And sat down again next to me.
-''Okay, fine, you win''
I turned off the TV, I didn't want to see the documentary if she wasn't happy.
