Thank you all so much for the amazing reviews! I enjoy reading all of them and I am glad you like this story.
Slowly but surely Brittana will start finding their way to each other.
''Alright Snixx, what is going on with you?'' Quinn asks frowning as she glances at her best friend the both of them sitting in Santana's trailer waiting for the crew to prepare the set two months after their movie night at Brittany's house and celebrating Beth's birthday with their family, Brittany only managing to come by in the morning to drop off a gift before leaving to play a match.
''Nothing.'' Santana breaths out in confusion, she turns to look at her and raises an eyebrow noticing the worry in her eyes. ''Why?''
''Ever since Brittany walked into our lives, you are acting strange.'' Quinn breaths out frowning. ''Do you get a strange vibe from her?'' She asks in concern knowing Santana is the best in reading people.
Santana immediately shakes her head and smiles. ''No, no bad vibes.'' She reassures quickly, she sighs as Quinn just raises an eyebrow and shrugs. ''It's nothing bad alright, I am fine Q.''
''You are far from fine.'' Quinn breaths out frowning. ''You look like you didn't get a good night sleep since weeks, walk around with your mind entirely occupied with something else and.'' She nods her head to her fidgeting hands. ''You are fidgeting which means that you want me to drop it.''
''Please.'' Santana breaths out.
''Nope.'' Quinn tells her reaching out to still her hands. ''What is going on Santana?'' She scoots closer as she feels her hands tremble and frowns. ''Really no dream?''
''Not that dream.'' Santana exhales shakily. ''But another one causing me to wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to go back to sleep.''
''Talk to me Santana.'' Quinn begs softly knowing her best friend likes to ignore her feelings until she explodes.
Santana drops her head and shrugs. ''Ever since Brittany entered our lives I have dreams about her.'' She whispers softly. ''I shoot awake from them and my feelings are all over the place, after calming down I glance at Marcus's picture trying to fall back asleep.''
''But it feels like I only drift off into half sleep and his voice enters my dream telling me to open up and allow it, I have no fucking idea what he means.''
''What are those dreams about?'' Quinn asks curiously, she raises an eyebrow as she notices a red tint creep up to her cheeks and tilts her head. ''San?'' She asks softly.
''I won't tell you what kind of dream Quinn.'' Santana whispers in embarrassment, Quinn just looks at her and sucks in her lips.
''The kind of dreams I had about Puck before we started dating?'' She chuckles as Santana covers her face with a soft groan and quickly pulls her in her arms before she can flee. ''Nope, no fleeing.'' She murmurs. ''No need to be embarrassed San.''
''I never had these kind of dreams before Quinn.'' Santana groans out. ''Why the hell now and why the fuck do I dream of Puck's best friend?''
Quinn bites her lip slowly pulling back and cups her cheeks, she tilts her head up gazing into troubled brown orbs and smiles sadly. ''What did you say, what Marcus tells you in your dream?''
''Open up and allow it.'' Santana whispers. ''Every damn day, since those dreams started a week after we met Brittany.''
''What do you think he means Santana?'' Quinn asks as she runs her thumbs over her cheekbones, she smiles sadly as she shrugs noticing the confusion in her eyes and sighs. ''He is telling you to open up your heart and allow her in babe.''
''Wha..''
''You clearly like her.'' Quinn continues before Santana can interrupt. ''But you closed yourself off and you don't allow yourself to think of any kind of love since Marcus passed away, he appears in your dream to tell you to allow it, to be happy and to give your feelings a chance.''
''I never fell for a woman before.'' Santana whispers frowning. ''I am not gay, Quinn.''
''Just because you like her, doesn't mean that you are Santana.'' Quinn breaths out. ''Maybe bi, but to steal Brittany's words, why label yourself? If she is the reason behind you opening up and allowing that kind of affection again, go for it and be happy.''
''But Marcus..''
''Babe, Marcus passed away three years ago.'' Quinn tells her sadly. ''He will always be your first real love, but he wouldn't want you to close yourself off and only function for Nic.'' She gently wipes the tear trickling down her cheek away and gulps thickly. ''I think you hear his voice in your dreams for a reason Santana, he always told you that he wants you to be happy and that is exactly what he would want now too.''
''It's just so hard.'' Santana breaths out sniffling. ''I just need him here with us Q, Nic needs his papi and I need him too.''
''I know babe.'' Quinn breath out with a sad sigh as she pulls her in a hug, she kisses her forehead and just cups the back of her neck as she breaths out a soft sob. ''I would have loved to have him here with us too, but he is looking down on us and he is hella proud of you and of Nic, San.''
She sighs as a knock on the trailer door makes the both of them jump and clears her throat. ''Give us a minute!''
''Go straight to the make-up!'' They hear one of the assistants yell through the door, Quinn turns back to Santana after telling him that they will and kisses her forehead.
''It's your decision what you want to do Santana, but I would love to see my best friend love struck.'' She smiles slightly as she chuckles tearfully and squeezes her hand. ''Freshen up, I will go to the girls and tell them you will join us in a few.''
Santana just hums watching her walk out of their trailer and grabs her purse, she takes her phone out checking her features with the front camera and carefully runs her thumb under her left eye to wipe away a bit of smudged mascara.
She raises an eyebrow as her phone buzzes in her hand and taps her mom's name as a text appears.
From Mami: Mija can your papi and I pick Nic up this weekend? Abi and Liv will bring Sophia over for the weekend, I am sure he will love to play the whole weekend with her and you can enjoy LA's nightlife. I also offered Q and Puck to take Beth.
To Mami: Of course you can, will you pick him up from school?
From Mami: Si and Puck will meet me there with a bag packed for him and Beth, they both just replied that we can take Beth for the weekend and Q told me that will decide for you and say yes.
Santana laughs softly as she notices a message from Quinn in their group chat knowing Brittany is in it too and taps it.
From Q in The Fantastic Four: Sup Bitches & Babe, we have a child free weekend, clubbing?
She shakes her head with a soft laugh and just sends a thumbs up into the group, she returns back to her mami's chat and types out a message.
To Mami: We will pick them up Sunday and bring lunch.
From Mami: Tell Puck to bring Brittany too, we want to meet the girl he never shuts up about.
To Mami: I will tell him to ask her, gotta go mami I am still on set, te amo.
She walks out of her trailer tapping the group chat as she sees two messages waiting and chuckles as she sees that Puck just replied with a string of heart eyes emojis, she scrolls down reading Brittany's reply and laughs softly as she reads Quinn and Puck's replies.
From Brittany in The Fantastic Four: I have a gig tonight and match tomorrow night, but I can score some V.I.P tickets for you.
From Puck: Yes please! Good event and music or bad music?
From Brittany: I am the one in the booth, there is no bad music when I am there you idiot.
From Quinn: Well we don't know that yet, maybe you suck too.
From Brittany: Fuck you kindly
She walks into the make-up trailer after knocking on the door and locks eyes with Quinn laughing as she notices her smirk. ''You just have to tease her huh?''
''Oh come on she is so easy to tease.'' Quinn breaths out laughing. ''And she still tries to soften her curses around us, I just want her to drop the kindness.''
They both look down at their phones as they buzz and Santana snickers as she reads Puck's reply.
From Puck: Maybe she likes it rough?
From Quinn: Babe!
From Brittany: I don't want to know what kind of crazy gorilla fuck the both of you act out on, that's just too much asshole.
''Crazy gorilla fuck.'' Santana breaths out laughing. ''What the fuck?''
''I don't want to know.'' Quinn breaths out laughing as the make-up artists just turn to Santana in surprise. ''She just read a text we received from a friend out loud.'' She tells them. ''No crazy porn ideas.''
''Well judging Britt's mind, you and Puck are the crazy gorilla's.'' Santana breaths out laughing, she leans back in her seat as she feels her hairstylist gently tug her back and glances at Quinn. ''So Avalon or Exchange tonight?''
''Yep and I don't know which one but both V.I.P booths are normally packed with celebrities.'' Quinn turns to look at her and smiles as she notices her leaning back with her eyes closed so the artists can do their magic. ''I heard Abi and Liv have a child free weekend too, want to invite them?''
''You can try, ask Brittany beforehand to make sure we have tickets.'' Santana breaths out. ''Just ask her if she can buy them and I will give her the money tonight.''
''Lopez, you're up!'' Santana stands up after the hairstylist tapped her shoulder silently telling her that she is done and thanks her softly.
''Coming.'' She calls out, she turns to Quinn and winks. ''Time to kick ass.''
Later that day.
''There they are!'' Puck breaths out pointing to Santana's sister Abigail and her girlfriend Olivia waiting for them near the side entrance of the club.
Santana whistles lowly as soon as they near them and laughs as their heads snap up from their conversation. ''Looking hot Hermana's.'' She compliments grinning.
''Damn Santanita.'' Abigail breaths out after hugging her. ''You look stunning.''
''You look gorgeous San.'' Olivia compliments with a grin as they both eye the red off the shoulder body con dress Santana wears, she turns to the two standing behind her future sister in law and smiles. ''The both of you look amazing together.''
''And very matching.'' Abigail laughs out as they both hug Quinn and Puck. ''Q had a say in what you wear?''
Puck chuckles tugging on his black dress shirt and shakes his head. ''Santana had.'' he smiles as Santana and Quinn both hook their arms through his the second he offers it and locks eyes with the two girls standing in front of them. ''Ready to go in?''
''Yeah let's go.''
Santana clears her throat as they both try to walk to the main entrance and shakes her head knowing on the side entrance three times, she turns to them and smiles. ''We have tickets, we can't stand in line without people recognizing me or Quinn.''
''Since when do you get tickets on short notice?'' Olivia asks in surprise as the door opens, Puck shows the bouncer his phone with the five tickets and steps in as soon as he nods his head.
''Puck's best friend works here.'' Quinn explains loudly over the music as they walk towards the stairs leading up to the V.I.P section.
''The best friend?'' Abigail asks loudly, Santana nods her head thanking the bouncer standing in front of the V.I.P section as he lets them in after Puck showed their tickets once again and smiles as the bass softens but the music still reaches them.
''The best friend.'' She tells her sister talking just a bit louder.
''Who is she?'' Olivia asks curiously as she looks around with her girlfriend, Puck laughs as he notices them trying to look for a waitress and nudges them.
''DJ booth.'' He just tells them while nodding her head to it, he winks as Brittany waves at them as soon as they lock eyes and brings a hand up to his mouth making a drinking motion.
He turns to the girls as she nods her head and smiles. ''What do you want to drink?'' He asks as they find an empty table.''First round is on me.'' He adds winking.
''We will take Mojito, to start.'' Olivia tells him mentioning her hand to herself and Abigail, Quinn chuckles as he turns to her with an eyebrow raised and nods her head.
''A tequila sunrise please.''
''Snixx?'' Puck asks turning to Santana. ''Margarita?''
Santana nods her head watching him walk off to the bar upstairs and turns to her sister as she nudges her. ''Blue diamond is Puck's bestie?'' Abigail asks in surprise. ''She is the hottest DJ around LA at the moment, everyone is bummed she only plays for Avalon and Exchanged.''
''She is.'' Santana confirms. ''She only works twice a month so she can't take more gigs, she still has to concentrate on her primary job and restaurant so she only works whenever it fits in her schedule.''
''But doesn't Angel FC play tomorrow?'' Olivia asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Tomorrow night yes.'' Quinn confirms chuckling. ''So she has enough time to sleep before she needs to be at the stadium.''
''Here you go.'' Puck exclaims placing three glasses in front of them, he winks as they thank him and nods his head to the dance floor. ''I asked the waitress to bring Britt's drink up with a note requesting a song, so grab your glasses and join me!''
''What song?!'' They all ask in unison after taking a sip.
''Alright guys this song was a request from my best friend, I am sure you all will like it so let's get this party started!''
''Damn her voice is pure porn.'' Abigail breaths out, Santana turns to her sister in surprise laughing as Puck covers his mouth to avoid showering Quinn with beer and shakes her head pushing her softly.
''You are such an idiot.'' She breaths out as Olivia just laughs. ''Move your asses, I want to get my dance on!'' She exclaims as Danza Kuduro blasts through the speakers, she keeps a hold on her glass as Olivia grabs her free hand and follows her and Abigail to the dance floor knowing Puck and Quinn will follow.
''Damn this mix is awesome.'' Abigail breaths out as Olivia turns Santana on the beat, she slides closer feeling her sisters free arm wrap around her shoulder and curls her arm around her waist intertwining her hands with her girlfriend's on Santana's hip as the three of them roll their hips.
''Drop it Lopez's and future Lopez!'' Quinn cheers laughing as Santana, Abigail and Olivia drop down and move their hips back up to the beat, Santana snickers noticing the loving grin on Olivia's face the second Q calls her future Lopez and glances at her sister winking as she sees the happiness in her brown orbs.
She turns on the beat facing Abigail and smiles as she feels Olivia immediately slide closer with her front against her back, she feels their hands intertwine on her hips as she keeps her free arm wrapped around her sisters neck and takes a sip of her cocktail as she sways her hips easily keeping up to their dance.
''Snixx!'' Quinn yells over the music the second is smoothly switches to Gasolina, Santana laughs twirling from between her sister and Olivia and dances over to Quinn handing Puck her drink as she moves past him smiling as he just slaps her ass with a cheeky grin.
She jumps on the beat grinning as Quinn takes her hand as soon as she lands in front of her and moves into her with a body roll, she wraps her arms around her shoulders, locking her hands just above her shoulder blades and moves her hips to the beat smirking as Quinn easily keeps up and several cat calls sound around them.
She turns on her heels as she feels eyes on her, the bass around them intensifying as the song picks up and looks at the DJ booth. She licks her lips as piercing blue orbs partly hidden beneath the mask lock on her own and winks, she smiles as she notices her move to the music she creates and turns her head to look at Quinn as she feels her squeeze her hips softly.
''Looks like you made a decision.'' Quinn states more than asks.
''Not at all.'' Santana breaths out turning on her heels once again to face her. ''I would need a moment alone with her to pin point my feelings exactly, but our conversation this afternoon made me think.''
''And?'' Quinn asks curiously as they still move to the music.
''You are right.'' Santana breaths out leaning closer so they don't have to yell over the music. ''Marcus always wanted me to be happy and I think I shut enough people out, it's time to face forward.''
''He will always be my first love and will always have a special place in my heart but.'' She continues with a sad smile eyes locking on hazel orbs and bites her lip. ''He wouldn't want me to stay alone forever and if someone makes not only me but also Nic happy, he will be happy too.''
Quinn nods her head in agreement and kisses her temple. ''He sure will be Santana.'' She whispers in her ear. ''Your happiness was his first priority and as long as you are happy, he will be too.''
''Love you Q.'' Santana just breaths out as she hugs her tightly as soon as the beat slows down.
''Love you too San.''
