Santana sighs tiredly as she walks into her apartment after bringing her son to school and sits down in the kitchen after grabbing her laptop out of the living room, she turns her laptop on placing it on the table and quickly makes a cup of tea for herself.
She walks back to her laptop placing her cup beside it and sits down tapping the email that pops up notification that the one of the newspapers she follows on Instagram uploaded something, she looks at the article and quickly taps it the second she sees Brittany's name.
Hey all our new favorite sports reporter Brittany just published article about the game last Saturday, go and read it I am sure you all will love it! - Kelly
She leans back in her seat as the article loads and takes a sip of her tea, she glances down at the shirt she wears smiling slightly as she runs her finger over the paint spatters covering Brittany's shirt she left at her apartment and chuckles softly as she thinks to their early Sunday Morning craziness with her son surprise attacking Brittany with a paintbrush after they all decided to paint together.
She looks up at her laptop as she sees the screen brighten and leans forward as she sees the caption of the article.
The Rams beat 49ers and enter the play-offs
She scrolls through the article smiling slightly as she notices just how professional Brittany's writing seems feeling like she is really at the game right in that second and takes a sip of her tea, she scrolls down the article eyes skimming over the rest of the article and freezes as she sees a noticeable change in Brittany's writing.
Alright now that we are slowly nearing the end I have to be honest with all of you, I did visit the game but really writing about what I saw was not possible because I got quite distracted and I am definitely not sorry for that.
She tilts her head placing her cup down and raises an eyebrow reading the rest of the article.
I had the honor to accompany an adorable little boy and his mom to his or well their very first game and making sure he understood what happened while his favorite team showed off what they got right in front of us on the field was way more important to me.
My focus was solely on them the whole evening but that makes watching the game a few more times the past few days to write a proper review still worth it, I could go on and on about how his little smile hit me right in the feels the whole evening but I am sure the people who watched the big screen saw it and the pictures coursing through the internet about me explaining the game in sign to an adorable little boy already graced many of your news feeds.
Even though I didn't really watch the game live I still hope you all appreciate this review, next one will be about the dodgers definitely securing their semi finals spot!
Until next time guys!
Brittany Pierce La Times Sports editor
Santana smiles lovingly liking the post and the article and reaches into her pocket to take out her phone, she scrolls down her contacts tapping Brittany's name and bites her lip hovering her thumb over the message button.
She shakes her head at herself as she feels her hand tremble and scoffs softly. ''I am an idiot.'' She whispers rolling her eyes quickly tapping the button, she types out an message and hits send before she can hesitate again.
Hey Britt-Britt, are you home?
She smiles as she immediately reads her message and bites her lip as she replies back telling her that she is currently hanging out with Puck and Quinn after she picked them up from the airport.
She taps the reply button and leans back in her seat.
Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?
She jumps as Brittany's immediate reply makes her phone buzz in her hand and smiles as she reads her answer, she exits the chat after telling her to come over around six and scrolls down her contact tapping Holly's name.
Hey Holly, could you maybe take D for a few hours tonight?
She places her phone down reaching behind her to grab her notepad to write a grocery list and moves the cursor of her mouse as she sees that the screen blackened, she opens the search bar and types in the dinner she wants to make tonight.
She glances at her phone as she feels the table vibrate and grabs it as she sees that Holly replied, she smiles as she tells her that she would love to spend some time with D and taps the reply button as she asks her if she should pick him up from school.
That would be great I am sure he would love that, thank you so much Holly.
She laughs as she immediately replies too and shakes her head a light blush covering her cheeks as she reads her answer.
Oh sweet cheeks you know you don't have to thank me, I am just glad to see how happy and smitten you make B and that the both of you will be going on a date tonight. Have fun and don't worry too much! Love ya.
She just sends her an emoji dropping her phone back on the table after writing her sons teacher that Holly would pick him up from school and glances at the notepad making sure she wrote everything down, she turns her laptop off as she sees what time it is knowing Brittany would arrive around five and jumps up as she sees that she has two hours to prepare everything.
Two hours later
Santana sighs stepping away from the table after setting it and lights up the candles she placed around it, she wipes her hands on the apron she wears slowly nodding her head feeling happy with the result of her afternoon filled with cooking and drops the lighter into the drawer beside the stove.
She takes her apron off with a slight smile as a bright red light blinks three times announcing that the doorbell rings and hangs the apron up beside the kitchen door as she walks out to open it, she runs a hand through her hair glancing in the mirror as she stops in front of the front door and swings it open after making sure she didn't stain her shirt.
She smiles brightly as she locks eyes with Brittany the second she opens the door completely and steps aside biting her lip as she sees a beautiful bouquet of flowers in her right hand, she watches her kick off her shoes and tilts her head as she turns to her smiling sheepishly.
Hey you.
She chuckles softly leaning against the door after closing it and glances at the flowers. Nice bouquet of She pinches her fingers together touching both of her cheeks right beside her nose and smiles slightly. Flowers you got there B.
Brittany smiles shyly and holds them out for her while pulling her other hand from behind her back showing her the bottle of wine. I didn't know what you prefer so I hope you like red wine and a mix of wildflowers.
Santana smiles slowly taking them from her as she steps forward and leans up on her tiptoes to kiss her cheek. I do like red and I love the flowers, thank you Britt-Britt. She tells her as she steps back, she keeps a hold of both items with her right hand and holds out her left for her to take. ''Ready for dinner Miss Pierce?''
Brittany chuckles slowly nodding her head as she takes her hand and smiles. It smells She makes a pinching emotion near her bottom lip with her pointer finger and thumb while keeping their eyes locked. Delicious in here San.
Santana just shoots her a smile and leads her into the kitchen stepping aside so she can look around, she turns to the sink grabbing the vase in the cupboard above it and fills it with water. She places the flowers in the vase and reaches up in the same cupboard grabbing two wine glasses, she walks over to the table as she notices Brittany still looking around in amazement and places them on the table filling both glasses with wine.
She bites her lip jumping a bit as slender arms wrap around her waist from behind but quickly relaxes slowly shaking her head as she sees Brittany sign Sorry, She turns her head to look at her and bites her lip.
No it's okay don't apologize, I just need a bit of time to get used to the hugging from behind part. She tells her honestly as she leads her over to one of the chairs, she pulls it out for her and smiles shyly. Ready for dinner?
Brittany nods her head slowly sitting down and tilts her head curiously. Is this a date San?
Santana chuckles turning to the stove and takes out the Parmesan crusted chicken, steamed vegetables and roasted herb potatoes she made for them. She turns back around placing it on the table and turns to Brittany shrugging with a shy smile. It can be whatever you want it to be Britt-Britt. She tells her teasingly copying what she told her three days ago, she mentions her hand to the flowers and chuckles softly. But I think the flowers and the wine you bought already cleared that question.
Well yeah. Brittany replies smiling shyly as she stands up, she unzips the windbreaker she wears and walks out of the kitchen quickly hanging it up knowing Santana hates things not belonging to Diego laying around, she walks back into the kitchen adjusting the blue top she wears and smiles shyly. Just didn't know if I should drop my jacket or not.
Santana eyes her up and down biting her lip as she sees the skin tight black skinny jeans she wears and looks back up at her swallowing thickly as she sees the blue color of the top highlighting Brittany's eyes even more. Please drop it every time you enter the apartment Britt-Britt. She tells her smiling softly as she stands up, she walks around the table and gently tugs on the top she wears. You look gorgeous and the color of your top really brings out your eyes. She compliments with a shy smile.
Brittany smiles lovingly reaching out to pull her on her lap and laughs as she hears the soft squeak escaping Santana's lips before she can stop herself, her eyebrows raise in surprise as Santana hits her shoulder softly and looks at her smirking. ''Did you just hit me?''
Santana shakes her head smiling innocently and wraps her arms around Brittany's strong shoulders. ''Nooo.'' She murmurs hoping it sounds innocent, Brittany just chuckles softly and tightens her hold around Santana's waist.
''Do you know what happens to people who hit me?'' She asks slowly smiling teasingly, she smirks as Santana tilts her head in confusion and quickly slides her hands up her sides digging her fingers into her ribs.
''No Britt!'' Santana exclaims as bursts of laughter escape her lips, she tries to get away from her tickling fingers and shakes her head laughing louder as Brittany just wraps one arm around her waist to prevent her from fleeing. ''No! Stop, dios mio!'' She exclaims laughing.
Brittany chuckles stilling her fingers as Santana almost slides off of her lap and wraps her arms back around her waist, Santana rolls her eyes as she sees the amusement spark brightly in bright blue orbs and hits her shoulder once again. ''Ass!''
Brittany licks her lips a smirk still playing on them and tilts her head. ''Excuse me, what?''
Santana quickly grabs her hands still chuckling softly and shrugs. ''Ass.'' She repeats, Brittany just smirks feeling a bit bold and gently taps her fingers on Santana's ass.
''Yea you sure got a nice one San.'' She laughs as she sees a deep red blush creeping up onto Santana's cheeks and leans back in her seat smiling innocently as she just looks at her in shock. ''Just saying.'' She murmurs keeping the movement of her lips noticeable.
''You checked my ass out?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised trying to throw her off, Brittany just smiles and shrugs.
''Well yeah, I can't help it that you like to walk in front of me and it would be a shame to not observe your beauty.''
''Now who drank some flirt juice B?'' Santana asks blushing bright red, Brittany laughs and shakes her head.
''Nope just stating the obvious San.'' She leans forward keeping her arm wrapped around Santana's waist and reaches out grabbing her plate, she places it beside her own and smiles slightly as she looks at her in confusion. ''I'm way to comfortable at the moment, let's eat dinner like this before it gets cold.''
''Isn't this hurting your back?'' Santana asks softly, Brittany shakes her head and smiles reassuringly.
''No not at all.'' She tells her honestly. ''I had a check up at the hospital today, it won't be hurting at all today.''
Santana's eyebrows raise in surprise and she quickly turns to sit sideways on her leg after taking a bite of her chicken, she places her fork down and tilts her head. Hospital?
Brittany nods her head and sighs. ''Yeah I had a check up appointment today, they numbed my whole back but it's healing nicely and I should keep up the rubbing in because it definitely speeds up the healing process.''
What did they do? Santana asks curiously, Brittany covers her mouth holding up a finger and quickly swallows the bite of food she just ate.
''I don't think this is a subject for dinner San.'' She tells her smiling slightly, she taps her stomach softly and shrugs. ''Definitely not a subject for a date.''
''I agree on the dinner part.'' Santana tells her smiling slightly. ''But not on the date part, talk after dinner?''
Brittany just nods her head knowing she wants to know what the doctors said and smiles slightly. ''Yeah after dinner sounds good, let's enjoy your delicious meal now though.''
It's nothing special. Santana tells her smiling shyly, Brittany just shakes her head and mentions her fork at her plate.
''It's delicious Santana, I never had Parmesan crusted chicken before and now I'm asking myself why.'' She taps her fingers on her stomach again as she sees her taking a bite of her own food and smiles slightly as she turns to look at her. ''Where is D?'' She asks curiously.
Santana smiles slightly and bites her lip. Holly picked him up from school and will spend the evening with him, I will pick him up later or she will bring him over.
Brittany smiles slightly and nods her head to the keys she placed on the kitchen counter beside her phone. We can pick him up later, I took her car again.
Santana nods her head and smiles. ''Sounds good, do you want dessert?'' She asks as she sees that she finished her plate, Brittany slowly shakes her head and smiles slightly.
''Not yet, you know that you didn't have to go all out right? I would have loved a pizza just as much too as long as I can call you my date.''
Santana chuckles and shrugs. I wanted to do something special and after brainstorming this morning I came up with this. She wraps her arms back around Brittany's shoulders completely facing her once again after pushing their plates to the middle of the table and smiles shyly. ''After our date this Saturday and what I read this morning before planning, I just wanted to do something to show you just how much I appreciate what you do for me and for D.''
Brittany tilts her head frowning in confusion and raises an eyebrow. What did you read? She asks signing with one hand keeping the other still wrapped around Santana's waist, Santana smiles slightly playing with a blonde lock of hair and locks eyes with her.
''Your last article.'' She tells her softly, she shakes her head as she sees a blush creep up on Brittany's cheeks and gently runs her fingers down the back of her neck. ''Don't be embarrassed, it's amazing to read you write something so amazing even though we disturbed you during work.''
Brittany slowly shakes her head and sighs, she runs her fingers over Santana's thigh and tilts her head contemplating what to say to her. She slowly looks up at her as she feels her run her fingers over her shoulders and smiles shyly. ''I can write reviews about sports whenever I want and if I have to watch the game once again I will, but Saturday was not about work at all it was about accompanying D to his first game and spending an amazing date with you.''
She gently runs her fingers over the small of Santana's back where her shirt has ridden up and smiles. ''It was about enjoying our first date while explaining the game to your adorable little boy, I don't mind watching the game twice or three times if that means that I visited the real game with you and with D.''
You are amazing you know that? Santana asks in amazement, Brittany smiles slightly and slides her right hand up her arm gently tapping her nose chuckling as she adorably scrunches it up.
''Just as amazing as you and D are Santana.'' She tells her honesty clear in her blue orbs. ''I requested Dave to not publish any of the pictures showing D's face but he did publish one where his back is facing the camera, he wants to write an article about it but I told him to put it off because I wanted to run it past you first because it's not my decision to take.''
What does he want to write? Santana asks in confusion, Brittany smiles shyly and chuckles.
''He wants to write what he witnessed, that a sports play is there to visit for everyone but that what I did is not something you see often or something.''
Santana slowly nods her head understanding what she is trying to explain and smiles. ''Tell him he can, but to not show D or my face in any of the pictures backs are okay though.''
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. ''I will tell him tomorrow.'' She tells her softly, she softly taps her leg and tilts her head. ''How was the rest of your day aside from reading the article and going grocery shopping and cooking?''
Santana smiles slightly taking a sip of her wine and shrugs. ''Boring, want to move to the living room?'' She asks softly as she notices her move trying to find a more comfortable sitting position, she stands up as she nods her head and holds out her hand pulling her up the second she takes it.
Brittany holds up her finger silently telling her to wait and quickly grabs their empty plates, she walks over to the dishwasher and loads it up also putting every dirty dish on the counter in it. Santana watches her shaking her head with a small smile and leans against the table with a soft chuckle. ''You don't have to do that B, I will do it later.''
Brittany turns to look at her and shakes her head, she grabs both of their glasses and holds them out for her. She taps her hand the second she takes them and winks. ''I want to do it, go sit down San you cooked so I will clean up.'' She shakes her head as she opens her mouth to object and just sticks her tongue out as she giggles. ''I want to so no objecting, move your butt into the living room.''
Santana laughs turning on her heels as Brittany points her finger to the door and carries both of their glasses into the living room, she drops down on the couch after placing them on the table and sighs shaking her head with a small grin. That woman is one of a kind.
