I just stare at her for a minute because she finally has told me everything that I want to hear. I feel like I am dreaming since I was 6 all I have ever wanted was to get to know her, then I did, and I could not stop thinking about her. She wants to be with me. Before I can even reply my body acts on its own. I lunge at her, tackling her to the bed. My lips attach to hers and I feel her hands running smoothly on my hips. It is like I can't control myself. My tongue runs across her lips asking for permission as she opens up to me with no hesitation. I press my body into her as I deepen the kiss. My lungs are begging for breath as I finally pull back taking in all that is Santana. Her eyes are closed as I watch her as her eyelashes finally flutter open. I can tell she is struggling to take in her breath as she finally gets her eyes open and deep brown look up at me. I watch as the most beautiful smile spreads across her face. She is laying under me on the bed, and I cannot believe that I am here right now.
"S-so is that a yes?" She finally gets out breathy.
I hold up my hand to give me a minute and I discreetly reach down and pinch my leg.
"Ouch." I say startled.
Santana is looking up at me with an eyebrow raise and a cheeky grin that shows off her adorable dimples.
"What was that?" She asked.
"I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming."
She leans up and gives me a quick kiss to my lips.
"Nope not dreaming."
I nod my head and smile. "I will go out with you, but when will you break up with Sam?"
She pats my leg getting me to scoot over and off of her. She holds up her finger and whips out her phone sending a quick text.
"Done." She smiles at me.
"Santana! You did not just send your long-term boyfriend a break-up text."
She reaches over caressing my cheek and shrugs her shoulders. "With the way he acted today he kind of deserves it."
She leans over closing the distance and starts to kiss me again. We deepen the kiss until our lungs burn again forcing us to separate. There is a sparkle in Santana's eyes when we pull away and I can guarantee it is a mirror image to the sparkles in my eyes as well.
"Well, where do we go from here?"
She smiles at me and reaches over to run her fingers along my wrist. "Now we finally give this whole soulmate thing a shot."
She is so beautiful especially when her dimples are on full display.

The party was really rowdy after Santana, and I had our talk. Some football player busted into the room breaking up our moment. We found Sugar making out with a guy by the wall in the living room and surprisingly Mike was sober and dancing. He ended up giving us all a ride home safely.
The rest of the night when I went to bed I could not stop thinking about Santana and how it finally felt like the beginning of us.
Saturday
I was in Sugar's mansion like house freaking out. Right now, we are at her indoor pool relaxing on the swim chairs.
"I told you we should have gone to my house Sugar. I need to figure out what I am even going to wear."
Santana works fast. This morning I received a text letting me know our date was tonight and that she would come to my house to pick me up at 5 pm. It was noon and Sugar was not helping.
"Let's be honest Britt you will look gorgeous in anything, so I don't know why you are freaking out. Santana is already your soulmate so you don't even really need to impress her because it should all just be like natural right? Besides I had you come over to relax because I know you and you would have been freaking out all day at your house no matter what, so I figured why not freak out with me." She gave me a big smile and patted my shoulder then jumped in the pool.
"Common get your mind off of everything and get in here it is really warm."
The chime went off on my phone.
From Santana: I can't wait for tonight!
I smile and feel those butterflies.
To Santana: Me either I am so excited to see you : *
From Santana: Not nearly as excited as me : * What are you doing right now?
To Santana: At Sugars about to go swimming.
From Santana: Britt it is like 48 degrees outside we are almost in winter.
I laugh before replying.
To Santana: She has an indoor pool that is heated, so we are good.
Just to be a little cheeky I hold my phone out and take a photo of me lounging on the chair in my blue two-piece swimsuit. I sent it to Santana.
She takes a little bit to text back and at this point I am biting my nails nervously. Maybe that was too much too fast.
"Come on Britt get your ass in here!" Sugar yells from the pool.
"Yeah, just give me a sec." I am staring at my phone when I finally get a reply.
From Santana: Fuck Britt! Give me a heart attack, why don't you! Damn it, now I need a cold shower! Why does Sugar get to enjoy that view? It isn't fair! : (
I snort a laugh.
To Santana: Have fun taking one ; ) I will see you later San : *
From Santana: Yeah yeah, haha I will see you later beautiful oh and wear something casual : *
I get up after setting my phone down and jump in the pool making sure to splash Sugar just for fun.
"Bitch." She splashed me back which of course turned into a water fight. When we finally calm down, we go to the shallow end and sit on the steps.
"So you haven't really talked to me much about what is going on with you." Sugar states as she looks across the pool.
"Oh, you know, finally being with my soulmate and all that." I feel my whole face light up just mentioning it.
"Yeah, what happened there? Last I knew last night you guys were all over each other on the dance floor then you were gone. Then when you guys finally came back you were both just so chill it was weird, and you were holding each other's hands the whole time. And then this morning you text me telling me you and Santana were going on a date today. Like what? where did that come from?"
I splash the water a little, getting my thoughts down before I speak. "Yeah, it was kind of a shock to me too. We were dancing then she took off her bracelet to show off her mark and told me she can't hide her feelings anymore. Trust me I am just as confused by everything as you are. We had a moment the room where we decided to go talk."
"Oh, is that what you call it now a day?" Sugar wiggles her eyebrows at me.
I splash her with water and giggle. "Whatever." I roll my eyes. "She said she just wants to be with me, and I asked when she would break up with Sam and she broke up with him on the spot for me and asked me on a date." I shrug. "She said she couldn't keep pretending and she was being so nervous and cute Sugar I had to say yes." I am beaming now, and my heart has definitely picked up just by talking about Santana.
"Well, I am happy for you girl but be careful okay you have been wanting this since I met you, I just don't want you to get hurt." I nod my head and give Sugar a quick hug.
She stands up and pats her legs. "Alright let's get you looking sexy for you date." She is up and dashing out of the pool room.
"She said dress casual!" I yell after her.
Sugar turns around and puts her hand to her chest and mock offense. "Well, that is bullshit! I am still going to make you look sexy even in 'casual' clothes."
I roll my eyes here we go.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I look at the time and I feel my palms are sweating. I am so nervous I have been on dates before, but this one feels like the real deal. Like Sugar has said earlier I have been waiting for this day since I was 6 years old. I have no idea where we are going because Santana refused to give me a hint no matter how many times I asked. Sugar left a little bit ago and Santana should be here any second. I check myself over in the mirror one more time. I am wearing a crop sweater and high waisted jeans that show off how long my legs are. They also hug my butt perfectly. My eyes are smokey and highlight the blue perfectly. I decided to pull my hair up into a classy high ponytail. I definitely kept it casual after arguing with Sugar over again about how a short strapless dress was not only not appropriate in this weather but was too dressy to be considered casual.
"Brittany! Do you have a date or something? A girl is here to get you!" I hear my dad yell at me. "Oh, wait, your mom just told me it was just Santana!"
I roll my eyes. He can be so embarrassing. I grab my purse and race out my room and down the stairs only to about trip as my eyes land on Santana waiting nervously at the door.
She turns around and I smile as her jaw drops. She is so beautiful with her leather jacket on and a red top under. She has her jacket unzipped a little where I can see a peek of the top of her breast. She is also wearing some tight skinny jeans that show off her perfect assets. Her hair is down in soft waves. Her big beautiful brown eyes are roving over me.
"Here umm these are for you." A blush forms on her cheeks as she produces lilies from behind her back.
I giggle at her nervousness as I take the flowers. "Thank you, San." I lean over and kiss her red cheeks. "I'll be right back."
I rush over to the kitchen and collide with my parents. I can tell they were eavesdropping on what was going on. I quickly push them back into the kitchen with me. My dad is practically bouncing like a giddy girl.
"Well?" My mom asks.
"Nope im not doing this right now I will talk after our date." I wink at her as I quickly fill a vase and put the flowers in.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" She calls after me as I leave the kitchen.
"But Suzan you would do a lot!" I heard my dad say afterwards.
Now I am red, and I hope Santana didn't hear any of that. I look up to see her waiting patiently by the door.
"Ready?" She asks.
"You bet!" I smile and she reaches out to take my hand.
As we got to the car, she opened the door for me, and I slid in. I turn to look at her as she gets into the driver seat.
"So?" I question looking at her with big eyes. "Are you going to tell me where we are going yet?"
She doesn't take her eyes off the road as she starts to drive. "Nope." She says simply popping the p at the end.
"Please!"
"Nope it is a surprise Britt stop asking."
I look out the window and after a couple of minutes we are leaving town.
"So, it's not in town?" I ask, trying to figure it out.
"Nope." Is all she gives me, but I see her smiling knowing she is killing me with suspense.
"If I guess it, will you tell me?"
She turns to me and gives me a quick look, but I see the smirk and already know the answer. "Nope."
"Ughhhhh!"
I start bouncing my leg after a little while I mess with the music.
"Stop fidgeting Britt we will be their soon." She reaches over and puts her hand on my leg that is bouncing instantly calming me down. I am so distracted by the feeling of her thumb rubbing against my leg and wishing I had worn shorts so I could feel her hand on bare skin that I didn't feel the car slow down or come to a complete stop.
"We are here." She informs me and I hear the smile in her voice.
I look up and squeal the Aquarium! She brought me to the freakin aquarium. I love coming here and this just makes it so much better that I am here with her.
"San!" I squeal again and reach over, giving her a tight hug.
She has a big smile. "I am glad you like the date idea." Her cheeks are tinted red.
"I love it!" I jumped out of the car excited to get into the aquarium.
I am bouncing on my feet in the parking lot waiting for you. She steps out of the car, and I see a little pout on her lips. I walk closer to her.
"Hey what is wrong San?" I question.
She is rubbing her toe on the ground and is looking all shy and cute. "I wanted to be a gentlewoman and open the door for you."
And she is just too much. I feel my heart flutter. I had no idea Santana could be like this; it is like I am seeing another side to her. She is normally so confident and daring, but today she is so soft and shy it is adorable.
I lean over and give her a kiss on the cheek.
"You are adorable." I tell her before grabbing her and racing to the front entrance.
Santana pays for us to enter then we start to explore. We walked through the river species where there was also a crocodile and through the deep ocean which was dark, and I cuddled closer to Santana who let go of my hand and wrapped her arm around my waist to pull me closer to her.
What surprised me the most was that she was always touching me. I figured we would have to act more like friends being out in public, but she surprised me. What I also noticed was that she did not have her bracelet on to cover her wrist. It was like she was proud to show it off. I couldn't help but let my thumb brush it every once in a while, which caused her to shiver. I love pulling those reactions from her.
"So where to now Britt-Britt?" She looked at me and her eyelashes fluttered, and my breath caught. I had to jump start my brain again.
"S-sting rays?"
She turns fully to look at me after hearing me stutter. Releasing my waist. She reaches over and tucks a strand of hair behind my ears.
"Why are you so nervous?" She questions me, smiling.
"I just didn't know I could feel like this on a date."
She raises her eyebrow as if asking me to continue.
"Like the butterflies and feeling incredibly happy to be around the other person. I have been on dates before, but I never was like super excited and none of them gave me the butterflies that are swarming my stomach." I am red from embarrassment. I should have just kept quiet.
Santana steps close to me putting her hands on my waist drawing me in close.
"Me either." She says quietly before closing the distance and placing a sweet soft kiss on my lips. Her lips are so plump like pillows. It is just short, but I swear my brain short circuited again. I really have a problem with that when I am around her. She pulls back and it takes me a little bit of time before my brain starts to work again.
"I am so happy to be here with you." She says.
"I wouldn't want to be here with anyone else." I tell her honestly.
"Now let's get you to those stingrays." She takes my hands in hers and leads the way.
Santana navigated us quickly to the sting rays and just by how confident she was I was sure she had been here a few times. We made it to the pool where you are able to reach out to touch the stingrays. They swam so smoothly, and I have never touched one before, so I was a little nervous. Santana easily reached out and touched one as it passed. After she did, she looked over and smiled at me. She could see I was nervous, so she pulled my hand that had hers still tightly gripped up to the tank. She let go of my hand and I pouted a little causing her to giggle. She placed her hand on top of mine and guided it to the water. I let it rest there on the top with her hand soothing me on top of mine. We watched as a stingray swam under our hands and I felt Santana put pressure on my hand pushing it down the water. I gasped out as I felt the smooth soft wing of the stingray. It was such a cool feeling, and I was beaming. I turned to look at Santana and she had such an appreciating look in her eyes and my heart started beating so fast. I pulled our hands out of the water and turned around to face her completely and pulled her into a hug.
"Thank you, San." I whisper in her ear.
"Anything for you Britt." I pulled back to see the sincerity in her eyes.
Of course, our moment was ruined by my stomach rumbling. Santana had a big smile on her face.
"Food court?" She asked.
"Yes please."
She reached for my hand, and I appreciated how it feels so natural to just hold her hand.
Once again, she knows how to get there so quickly, and we wait in line at one of the food venders. As we approach the front, I notice the worker is a handsome guy with short brown hair and tan skin. The moment he sees Santana his smile grows.
"Hey what can I get you today?" I watch as he checks her out paying special attention to her breast. I can't really blame him because she does have very nice breast, but I still don't want anyone else but me looking at them. I reach over and put my hand in Santana's back packet possessively. The guy is so distracted he doesn't even notice the action.
I hear Santana take in a deep breath almost like a squeak and turn to look at me with a roll of her eyes and giggles but doesn't comment on it. She looks up at the guy finally and sees that he is just staring at her breast. She snaps his fingers in his face.
"Hey dude my eyes are up here." She says with her normal sass.
I smirked at the boy because she was giving him attitude, but that smirk was quickly washed off my face when I watched him bring his eyes up to her with a challenge in his eyes and a smirk on his face.
"I am just appreciating your beautiful figure. What's your name gorgeous?" He leans forward on his elbows just staring at her.
"None of your business, your job is to take my order, not whatever the hell you think you are doing." She moves a step closer to me as she gives him a hard look.
He stands up straighter as if shocked by her and it makes me laugh.
"Umm yeah s-sorry." He quickly gets to work taking our orders every once in a while trying to catch a glimpse of her.
"Come on babe, let's take a seat." She says as she grabs our tray with one hand and wraps her arm around me with the other.
I look over my shoulder at the guy and his mouth has dropped to the floor. I lean over and whisper in her ear. "I think you broke him."
She just giggles and shakes her head. "Boys are stupid."
We find a seat and sit across from each other.
"So, you have been here before?" I ask her.
She shrugs and looks up at me bashfully. "Maybe once or twice."
I smile at her for her cute behavior. "I have had a really good time." I say stealing one of her frys.
She tries to swat my hand away but I am too fast and I can see she is just being playful and not really offended.
"Fun enough where you will go on another date with me?" She questions raising her eyebrows.
"I would go on a hundred dates with you." I shoot back.
Here eyebrows shoot up. "I will hold you to that." She shoots back, making me laugh at her serious face.
"So..."I fold my hands under my chin "what is your favorite animal?" This causes her to laugh.
"Really Britt?"
"Yes, really it is a first date therefore we need the basic questions."
"Britt we have been getting to know each other since we met, we were friends and we are soulmates do we really need to restate the basics."
"Yes, Santana, yes we do." I smile cheesy at her.
She rolls her eyes. "Fine a lioness."
I raise my eyebrow at her now. "Why?"
"Because they are fierce like me." She flicks her hair and gives me a smoldering look causing me to laugh.
"Cute." I say simply.
"I'm not cute babe I am hot." There goes that pet name again and my heart skips a beat.
The rest of the meal we talk and joke and we are just as comfortable as we usually are together and it is so relaxing. On our way out Santana disappears for a minute saying she had to go to the bathroom and suspiciously comes back with a bag. When I question her she says it is nothing. We hold hands on our way out to the car and I notice that it has gotten dark out. She opens the door for me and we make the drive back home singing along to the radio. When she pulls up to the house I can tell again that she is nervous. It is so cute. She jumps out grabbing the bag and races around to my door to open it for me. She hides the bag behind her back as she takes my hand and walks me to the front door.
"Umm Britt I had a great night tonight it was the best date I have ever been on." I smile at her as I watch her bring the bag around to her front then push it out to me. "I got you something."
I reach in the bag and pull out a cute stuffed stingray. I squeal out and jump into her arms for a hug. I pull back so that we are still connected, but I can see her face.
"Thank you San, I love it and this has been the best date I have ever been on as well."
I lean up and give her a soft kiss, but it seems to escalate quickly because the next thing I know her hands are grabbing my but pulling our cores together and I have my hand that is not holding my stuff toy tangles in her hair. My tongue has slipped into her mouth and is chasing hers. I hear her moan and it finally brings me out of my Santana daze realizing we are on my front porch and we are kinda supposed to be a secret. I pull back and look at her eyes catching my breath. I watch her try to compose herself but she can't fight the smile that shows off her dimples. She reaches up one more time to brush my bangs out of my eyes.
"Goodnight Britt." She gives me one more quick kiss to the lips.
"Goodnight San."
I open the door and turn back to watch her get in the car and take off. I turn around and race up to my room, close the door and I can't contain it anymore. I squeal and do a happy dance. I flop on my bed on my back holding up my stuffed stingray.
"Best date ever!"
