I press the buzzer for your upstairs neighbor adjusting the bag on my shoulder. He buzzes me in when I let him know I forgot my key. Of course I'm lying, but he's seen me around enough to know that I'm dating you. I'm nervous, the butterflies in my stomach partying. Jade and I left our tour a night early, choosing to fly back on the red eye instead of party with everyone after our last performance. I haven't told you, wanting to see the surprise on your face.

Baby, I can't wait to see you.

I take a deep breath and roll my luggage quietly down the hall. It's still kind of early, and I know you'll be home, probably sleeping. I set my things down next to your door and knock softly. I wait for a few seconds, listening hard. I don't hear any movement inside. I knock a little bit louder and wait, still not hearing anything, silently cursing myself for not calling ahead to make sure you were awake or home.

My phone buzzes in my pocket before I get the chance to knock again. I see your beautiful face light up my screen and answer with a smile. "Hey, baby."

"Hi Britt. I just wanted to catch you before you boarded the plane, wish you a safe flight."

"You're sweet."

"Only for you." Your words a slightly drowned out by what sounds like a bus.

"Babe, where are you?"

"I couldn't sleep because I was so excited so I got up early and grabbed some coffee. I was trying to write a bit but it was too crowded. Why?"

"Oh, it's noisy."

"Sorry, B." you pause, "So, you're landing at 3:45 right?"

I can see you from the hall window as you approach the building and don't answer. Instead I turn to face the door with a smile on my face, waiting for you. You step up to the front door and put your key in the lock, not looking further than that, your phone between your ear and your shoulder. "Britt? You there?" You open the door and take a step in.

"Yeah, I'm here."

You see me and stop in shock, before squealing and placing your coffee and phone on the little table for mail, and leap into my arms. "Britt!? Oh my god, you're here, you're here!" You squeeze my neck with your arms as you nuzzle into me, your legs wrapped tightly around my waist.

And, oh how I've missed the feeling of you in my arms.

"I'm here!"

You pull away to look at me, your hands on my cheeks, studying me with those gorgeous eyes. Your focus is drawn to my lips and you crash into me, kissing me with everything you've been saving for the past month. My legs start to swoon with your kiss and I back us up, spinning and pushing you against the door for support, kissing you fiercely.

Oh, baby, how I've missed the feeling of your mouth on mine.

Your scent overwhelms me, your lips overwhelm me, the little hum you let out overwhelms me and I have to break away from you to gasp in some air. I set you down on the floor and pull you into a bear hug, your whole body against mine.

And, oh, how I have missed the feeling of your body against mine.

When we part I stare at you again, overcome with your beauty. You are so beautiful, baby, it takes my breath away. Your eyes are sparkling, your face flushed, your lips already red from our kisses. We stand like that for a moment, letting it all sink in. I brush some hair off your face, tucking it behind your ear and caress your cheek. You lean into my touch and I can see pure joy radiate off of you.

"Hi."

"Hi." Your voice is raspy with lust, and I immediately want to drag you inside and kiss every inch of your skin. But, I wait. This moment, these seconds between us, make me feel like the world has stopped around us, this is perfect.

I join our lips again, it's sweeter than before, but just as powerful. You hum against me again and it sets my body on fire. Our spark lighting me up like it always does. Like it always will.

Your hands on my waist tug me closer to you and I know what you want. I deepen the kiss as I feel your fingers sneak under my shirt, lightly scratching my stomach. I tangle one hand in your hair, tugging lightly and move my lips down your exposed neck, while the other gropes your ass, pulling you into me.

I don't know how long we stand there, making out in the hall against your door, but it's long enough for things to get intense. We both know we need to go inside, and I pull my lips off yours with a pop and a smile, backing away from you to pick up my carryon bag from the floor, and grab the handle of my suitcase. You smile at me and grab your coffee, phone and keys off the table and unlock your door quickly. I set my things down inside and rip off my shoes, while you place your coffee on the table. You grab my hand and lead me to your bedroom, looking over your shoulder at me with a coy smile.

Once inside you sit on the bed and smirk up at me, your eyes hooded and dark, dark, dark. You slowly unbutton and unzip my jeans, sliding them down my body. Your eyes sweep over me and my stomach falls to my knees. I need your hands on me. You stand and strip my shirt off, slowly taking in every inch of exposed skin, still not touching. I watch as your eyes land on my new bra, I bought it just for this occasion, and I can see them spark before you finally place your hands on me, enjoying the feel of the lace on my skin before you slide it off.

You run your hands all over me, my stomach, my arms, my chest, my back, like you're remembering the way my skin feels, refreshing the memories you were left with. Your eyes are still dark, but I see a depth there that wasn't there before. I let you feel me, touch me, caress me, loving every second.

And then it's too much and I need to touch you, too.

My hands quickly remove your shirt, letting it fall softly to the floor beneath us. Your pants are next, and I slide them down your legs along with your underwear, not wasting any time. I almost rip your bra in my haste to remove it, but all I can think about is you, naked, in front of me.

I've missed this so much, baby.

We stand there staring at each other breathing heavily, the air thick around us, for an entire moment before we both act at the same time and crash our lips together. I grab your face and pull you to my lips, and you grasp my back pulling me into your body. We both gasp and then groan at the skin on skin contact.

You spin us sideways and we fall to the bed, our lips never disconnecting. I flip you over and slide you further up the bed, attacking your neck, collarbone, breasts. Your wrap your legs around me and pull me onto you, and the moan I let out is almost animalistic. And then I'm on my back and you're straddling me, a devious smirk on your face. You bend down and graze your teeth over the sensitive spot on my neck and kiss, suck, bite, marking me again as yours.

The feeling of you against me, your breasts, stomach, legs, is almost too much.

I flip us sideways again and you let out a delighted giggle. My hand slides down your body and finds your center and we both moan at the contact. I start working you up with practiced ease, loving the feel and sounds of your arousal. I feel your hand move slowly down my back, around my waist and under my thigh. We both adjust our legs and I gasp as you enter me.

We stay like that, locked together, rushing towards the edge together. I can tell you're close from the hazy look in your eyes and the little whimpers you're making and I kiss your lips quickly in between our panting. The feeling of you tightening around my fingers sends me over the edge with a groan that sounds like a cry, and you're right behind me, calling out my name. We ride out our waves of pleasure together until it's too much and I hold you panting against me with my free hand, feeling the aftershocks of your release around my fingers.

I bury my face in your sweaty neck, breathing you in and kissing the skin I find there, working up to your ear and your cheek. I've missed this smell so much. The t shirt you gave me to wear to bed could never compare. Your heavy breaths fall across my collarbone and I can feel your smile on my skin.

You pull your fingers from me and I would be embarrassed by the sound I make if I was with anyone but you. You grab my face and kiss me again and it's so sweet and passionate that it takes my breath away.

I wrap you up in my arms, not letting you break our kiss. It's sweet, how we lie there and make out like a couple of teenagers. Your kisses are so familiar to me, but just as warm and surprising as they were the first time. I don't think I'll ever get tired of them or the feelings they wake up inside of me.

You hum against my lips and I know you're just as happy as I am.

We finally break apart and your face is shining with happiness. "I missed this."

"Me too."

"I'm so glad you're back, Britt-Britt."

"I couldn't spend one more night away from you."

You blush, and hide your shy smile in my neck until I tickle you and you look me in the eyes again.

"I missed you so much, Santana."

"Ditto."

We sit there grinning at each other like a couple of kids until the jet lag and the exhaustion hit me all at once and I feel my eyes grow heavy. You kiss my nose and cuddle up in my arms and I slip off into sleep.

When I wake up you're still in my arms, watching me sleep. I giggle at you and you smile your biggest smile at me and kiss me, rubbing your hand on my stomach. We have sex again and it's longer than before but just as intense. It feels more passionate now, like there's something layered within every kiss and touch.

We don't talk until we're lying next to each other, spent. "Did you sleep at all?"

"I did. I could finally relax again with you here."

"Mmm, I'm glad."

"Are you hungry, baby?"

"Starving."

You kiss me, "I'm gonna," another kiss, "make us," kiss, "some pancakes."

"Sounds delicious."

You stand up and throw me that smirk again over your shoulder as I admire your back. I love watching how the muscles ripple under your skin. You bend over and pick up your shirt off the floor, throwing it on you before you walk towards the kitchen. You definitely know what you're doing when you put some extra sway in your hips, the bottom of your bottom peeking out from under your shirt.

Oh yes, you know exactly what you do to me.

I stand up and follow you, pulling my panties back on and my new bra. Two can play this game and I want you to fully enjoy the goodies. I'm well rewarded when I see your eyes turn lusty as I walk into the kitchen. Your jaw pops open a bit as you watch me bend over to grab some water from the fridge.

"I thought you were making us pancakes?" I smirk.

I hear you let out a heavy sigh, "Jesus, Britt."

I laugh and hand you a bowl and we sit and chat while you flip pancakes and we eat our breakfast together. It's so nice to be back together, holding hands while we eat and laugh. Just being able to look at you in person makes me so, so happy. I really did miss you so much, more than you will ever know.

You smile at me when we're finished cleaning up and tell me to wait here for a minute before coming back to the bedroom, "I have a surprise for you."

My mind immediately turns to dirty thoughts and I am more than willing to wait here for my surprise. I hear you sing my name from the bedroom a minute later and hop up to join you.

But when I find you you're not in bed, you're standing in front of your dresser with a shy look on your face.

"Babe…?"

"Wait, let me get this out." You take a deep breath, "I have a surprise for you, I've been thinking about it a lot while you've been gone." You hesitate and your hand flies through your hair, like it always does when you're nervous. "Ok, well…here it goes."

You step aside from the dresser and I see two gift ribbons on the bottom two drawers. And I melt.

"S…"

"I emptied out these drawers for you. I figured you should have some space here. You're here all the time and I think it's time you keep some clothes here. I mean, I know you wear mine and I love it when you do that, baby. But sometimes I know you miss not having stuff with you all the time and I just thought-"

I don't let you finish your thought before I grab you in a searing kiss. It's too much, I just have to kiss you.

"I love it when you get all nervous and ramble like that." My lips are still on yours, and I can feel your body relax into me.

You grab my wrists and take a step back to look at me in the eye. "You like it?"

"I do. Thank you so much, baby. You're right, it will be nice to have some space here."

"I made some room for you in the closet, too."

"Score." I kiss you again and I know. I know that I have to tell you. I know that this is the moment and I need to tell you. Everything inside of me feels like it's bursting, all my big feelings are clanging around against my bones, my skin.

When we break apart again I grab your hands in mine, bringing them up between us and kissing them. You look at me and you are so, so happy and I can see that new glint in your eyes again.

"I love you, Santana."

It comes out on my breath, like an exhale. I don't even say it; it just oozes out of me.

You gasp and you squeeze our hands together. "I love you, Brittany Pierce. So much." And that smile you give me nearly kills me. And I finally understand what that new look in your eyes is, it's shining out at me brighter than ever.

And I feel warm and alive and like everything in my body is buzzing and moving to make room for you. My heart feels like it's going to explode and the butterflies in my stomach whenever I'm around you feel like they've multiplied and I know.

I know I never want to leave your side like that again.

A/N: Again, thank you for all the love! I know so far my tumblr has really only been chapter updates but if anyone is interested or has any questions, I'd be willing to answer some about this fic, etc, on there as we go along.
