Thursday 11pm

I'm tired, no I'm exhausted, and I'm cranky, and most importantly I'm horny as hell. It's been 2 weeks since our romantic and relaxing New Year's Eve getaway to the Evan's cabin. The dinner party I was supposed to cater on the 2nd got postponed, if not cancelled. Luckily, Brit has people pay a non-refundable deposit, which is 15% of the total fee. I asked Sam if he would mind if Brit and I stayed a few extra days, he didn't care as long as I made him cupcakes before he and Quinn headed back home. I made his favorite chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes and sent them on their way. So Brit and I extended our stay until January 4th, which was heaven on earth.

Brit and I talked more just about life and continued our conversation from New Year's Eve right before the ball dropped and of course, had even more mind blowing sex. We made more plans for our future, both personal and career wise, and most important to me….we talked about our relationship, how we want it grow and how fast we want it to keep progressing. I know we moved super fast, we met, dated, made love, declared our love, and moved in together all within like 4 months, but it just feels so right to me, and it feels right to Brit, so it's the perfect set up for us. We went to the local pharmacy and got arts and crafts supplies and made vision boards for the new year that listed our goals, I've never made a vision board before but I love mine, and I love that Brittany and I have a lot of the same goals. We played in the snow, both with Chef, and just with us two. We went sledding, had a huge snowball fight, made a snowman, well snow-woman, since Brit gave her boobs, which was hilarious, and we took a romantic stroll through while it snowed to which Brittany gave me a heart attack when she surprised me with a diamond bracelet and called me her 'snow queen'. We lived in our own winter wonderland, and I loved every single second. That trip was apparently the calm before the storm because once we got back to city, shit changed.

The moment we got back to the city was bombarded with orders for Aunty Snixx on top of going back to work at Molasses. Mike offered Brittany a more permanent teaching position, and gave her classes to lead 3x days a week in the morning, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, which meant she worked at the diner at nights now. We were both so busy that I haven't seen her, like really seen in her in almost 5 days, yes I'm counting. I mean, I feel her snuggle close to me in the middle of the night when I get home from the bar, or when she gets home from the diner; but it's not the same. I miss her. The last time we really hung out was when we took Ashley ice skating, which was so fun, but it's been all work since then.

Brit would wake up super early in the morning to go for a run to warm up her muscles before going to the studio to stretch and get ready for her classes. She now taught from 8am to noon, she would then head to Barnes and Noble for lunch and to do some writing on her blog, which was getting pretty popular, she would then end up going to work at the diner around 4pm and work until almost midnight most nights, of course the nights she was off, I ended up having to bartend both Happy Hour and my regular shift so I didn't see her. Brittany would be so tired that I would tell her to just stay home and get some rest; I didn't want our quality time to consist of her watching me bartend while she yawned and slammed Red Bull to try and stay awake and get me company.

I've been up since 7am today and working non stop. I purposely woke up early to see Brit off to work, I made her a quick breakfast and we were able to talk for almost 5 whole minutes without an interruption. I then had to bake 60 cookies, 48 cupcakes, and 2 pies all for one party tonight and deliver them by 3pm, before I had to work Happy Hour and then my usual shift until 3am. I barely had time to eat lunch, and dinner, what is it that? I don't even remember the last time I was able to sit down and eat dinner.

So here I am staring at this extremely drunk man, who I probably should have cut off 4 shots ago, while he stares my breasts and pretends he is looking at the drink menu.

"My eyes are up a little higher asshole." I snap at him. The only person I want starting at my goods is Brit, and she's at work right now, or maybe she's at home by now, I need to check my phone to see the time.

"I need 2 more shots." He slurs out. "One for me and one for you." He then winks at me and licks his lips.

"No thanks on the shot for me, and I'm thinking it's time I cut you off for the night." I tell him while crossing my arms over my chest and rolling my eyes.

"Bitch!" He then yells out and stumbles away.

That's how my night has been going. I flip the man off behind his back and pull my iPad back out and continue to plan out a menu for a dinner party next week.

Puck comes up to me and leans on the bar. "You can head home San." He tells me.

I glance at my watch and see it's only 1am. "Are you sure?"

Puck nods. "Yeah, take the rest of the night off." He tells me with a smile.

"Thanks!" I say way too excitedly as I start to cash out the drawer and hand it to him. I'm off tomorrow with absolutely no plans, I don't even need to bake or cook anything, well aside from the romantic dinner I'll be making for Brit to surprise her with when she gets off work, I'm pretty sure she works until 7 tomorrow night.

I run to the back and grab my coat and my purse and head out to my car. As I let the car warm up a bit, since it is like 5 degrees out, I send Brittany a text and hope she's home and still awake. It's not too late, well not for us, and I'm hoping we can cuddle and watch a movie.

TO BRIT BRIT: Hey baby, I got off work early, are you still awake? I'm headed home now.

I turn up the heat in the car and close my eyes and sigh while I wait for a response. My phone chimes and I feel my heart skip a beat.

FROM BRIT BRIT: Yeah, I just got home, I was going to hop in the shower, should I wait for you?

I feel arousal shoot through my body instantly. Hell yeah I want her to wait for me, I just wanted us to cuddle and hang out, but I definitely wont turn down a shower with her.

TO BRIT BRIT: Please do! Are you hungry? I can stop and get grab something.

I start to pull off when Brittany texts me back right away.

FROM BRIT BRIT: Can you get some chicken nuggets from McDonalds?

TO BRIT BRIT: Sure, love you

FROM BRIT BRIT: Love you more XO

I smile the whole way to McDonalds and order us nuggets, a large fry to share, and 2 sweet teas. I walk in the apartment quietly since all I the lights are out. If Brit fell asleep I just may have a melt down of some sort. I see Chef and Lord Tubs are both asleep. Chef, of course, isn't in his cage, his new favorite place to sleep is under the couch with his head poking out. He opens his eyes and I can tell he is wagging his tail at me.

"Hey you." I wink at him. "Go back to sleep." I then add as I head to the bedroom, which I see is dark as well.

I sigh since I feel so defeated right now, I decide to just change in my pajamas quickly and eat a little before heading to bed.

"I thought we were showering together?" I hear Brittany ask quietly.

I quickly turn my head and see her standing naked in the doorway to the bathroom.

I smile so hard it starts to hurt. "I thought you fell asleep?"

She walks over to me slowly and sits down on the bed. "No, I planned to wait up for you tonight, I took off work tomorrow, and I know you don't work tomorrow, so I want to take advantage of our 24 hours together." She smiles while grabbing the McDonalds bag out of my hand. "Get naked." She then adds with a wink.

I shed my clothes in record time as Brittany hands me a nugget and starts to eat in a silence.

"I miss you." I blurt out suddenly. "I miss seeing you more than just at night when we go to sleep."

Brittany swallows the food in her mouth and I see her eyes soften. "I miss you, too." She says quietly. "We have to spend more time together."

I nod quickly. "I don't want work to consume us to the point where it's all we have energy and time for."

Brittany takes a sip of her sweet tea and nods. "I agree. Well, how about tomorrow we hang out together, all day." Brittany says while holding up a fry to my mouth. "No cooking, no baking, no dancing, no tenants, no writing, no Quinn, no Cedes, just us two." She says while holding out her pinky finger. I remember the first time she did that to me in Barnes and Noble, when we kind of promised to be best friends. I smile and quickly link our pinkies.

We finish our nuggets and fries in silence, I keep staring at her naked body, and I could feel Brittany staring at mine. I toss the garbage in the bag and set it on the chest next to my bed. I then lean over and gently kiss Brittany on the lips.

She lifts her hand and cups my face as she deepens the kiss and leans me back on the bed. I fell her crawl on me and start to kiss me more passionately. I hug her tightly and run my hands up and down her back as I start to crave her body even more than I ever have.

Brittany uses her knee and pries my legs open and settles between them. She rolls her tongue in my mouth and I instantly roll my hips into her while moaning.

She then starts to kiss a trail down my body; she stops on my breasts and pays extra special attention to them. She's sucking and placing wet kisses on them and it's driving me wild, like I can't even see straight anymore right now, or think straight for that matter.

Brittany then slowly kisses a trail down my stomach, licking my abs, before she hovers over my core. She pauses and looks up at me briefly before she starts licking me slowly.

"Shit….." I moan out as she starts to do that same tongue thing she did in the hotel upstate. I grip the sheets and bend my legs over Brittany's shoulders as I feel her bury her face deeper in me.

"You taste super sweet today." Brittany mumbles into me.

"Dammit, I'm close." I moan out as Brittany inserts two fingers in me and starts pumping in addition to flicking her tongue over my clit. My legs tense and I shake like crazy as I climax, Brittany keeps licking me until I ride out my orgasm before she crawls back up my body and begins to rock on my thigh.

I hold her tightly around the waist and crash our lips together in a heated kiss while I run my fingers through her hair and flex my thigh muscle into her. Brittany begins to rock faster and I feel her nails sink deeper in my skin and start to shake so I know she's close. She then hides her face in my neck and whimpers softly as she rocks even faster before her body stiffens and I feel her arousal sliding my leg. I pepper kisses to her forehead and rub her back as she calms down before she lifts her head and kisses me again.

"I love you Sanny." She says while looking deep in my eyes.

"I love you too, Brittany, so much." I reply before kissing her softly again.

We both let out a sigh of contentment before we fall asleep in each other's arms.


8am

I wake up to the incessant ringing from my work phone. I groan and open my eyes slightly.

"Let it ring." Brittany rasps out while wiggling closer to me and hiding her face in my neck as she pulls me closer by the waist. "No work today, remember?"

"Mmmmmm." I manage to respond as she kisses my neck softly and I hear her breathing even back out.

I might be slightly obsessed with Aunty Snixx right now. While I want to spend the day with Brittany, I want to keep filling orders; I don't want to get a bad reputation. I have an internal debate on whether to head to the living room and check my phone when I feel Brittany slowly move her hand from my waist to my breast and cup it. I glance over at her and see she's still asleep. I laugh to myself and close my eyes again.

I lay and enjoy feeling Brittany breathe against my neck, one of my simple joys in life. I decide to make Brit a big breakfast so I kiss her softly until she loosens her grip on me. I then slide out of bed. I grab my iPod and throw some clothes. I take Chef out for a morning walk down to the store on the corner to grab Brit some flowers, which was super cold, so I instantly made a cup of coffee when I got back home to thaw out. I first feed Chef and Lords Tubbs and give them fresh water before I start to cook breakfast.

I bought a waffle iron the other day so I decide to put it to good use finally, so I pull out ingredients to make brown sugar and cinnamon waffles. I plug my iPod in and start listening to an instrumental track that I bought a few years ago. I planned to write a song to it, but couldn't find the right lyrics.

As I'm cooking and thinking of Brittany the lyrics start to come to me so as the waffles cook I pull out the notes app on my phone and start typing the lyrics down. Brittany is my inspiration for everything it seems like lately. I smile as I start to make eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, and the biscuit recipe I snagged from Mercedes.

Once everything is done I look over the lyrics of the song and sing it straight through and smile in accomplishment. I just wrote a hell of a song. I fix Brittany a plate and grab the bouquet of flowers and set them on the table after giving Chef a bone, to ensure he wont jump on the table and eat her food.

I then go to the bedroom and lie in bed again and kiss Brittany awake.

"Mmmmmm." She moans out as her eyes open slowly.

"Good morning, honeybee." I say with a smile. "I made you breakfast, come eat with me." I tell her as I stand up and leave the room.

A few minutes later Brittany comes out in a pair of small shorts and a sweatshirt. She sits super close to me on the couch and turns my head to kiss me.

"Good morning." She smiles when the kiss breaks. "Whoa….this is looks so good, Sanny." She adds while picking up her plate. "The food looks good too." She teases as she kisses me on the cheek.

I laugh and eat a forkful of eggs while I simply stare at Brittany. "You are so beautiful Brit." I say softly as she stuffs probably half the waffle in her mouth. "You literally just woke up and you are glowing."

Brittany blushes. "You're gorgeous too, cupcake." She says with a smile before leaning over and kissing me with a mouth full of syrup.

I lip my licks and smirk. "How are the waffles?" I ask her. "I used the new waffle iron I bought."

"I saw the box that you bought it." Brittany smiles. "I love them." She adds before taking another huge bite. "So what are we doing today?" She then asks while picking up my glass of juice and taking a sip.

"Ummm, I thought we could go to the mall and walk around for a little bit, maybe grab lunch there, then come home and take a nap, then I have something planned for us at 6pm." I tell her as I set my plate after taking the last bite of my hash browns.

"Breakfast was amazing as always, baby, thank you." Brittany smiles while setting her plate down.

I lean on the arm of the couch as Brittany lays her head on my chest and wraps her arms around my waist. "So how is your writing coming along?" I ask her while stroking her head.

"Good." She smiles. "I love interacting with my the people that follow my blog, and I've gotten some more great ideas for my book."

"Yeah?" I ask her with a smile. I love that Brittany is buckling down with her writing. She's so amazing at it, and definitely has a way with words. She's been so instrumental in helping with Aunty Snixx that she put her dreams to the side, so I want to make sure she reigns them in and stays focused.

"Yeah, people have been asking me for advice and everything. My email is full of questions." She beams proudly.

"I'm so proud of you Brit." I tell her while hugging her tightly. "So, so proud of you."

Brittany lifts her head and kisses me. "I'm proud of you and Aunty Snixx too, you're a really big deal in New York right now." She says while looking in my eyes. "This is so incredible."

I nod and smile. "It's a little nerve wrecking too." I admit. "I'm so scared I'm going to mess up on one of these dinner parties."

"That won't happen." Brittany smiles. "Ready to get dressed and hang out?"

"I'm ready for something else first." I say while licking my lips at her.


Noon

Brit and I finally got dressed and headed to the mall. We're walking hand in hand through the mall doing some window shopping, even though I have the money to buy myself as much as I want now, I'm still pretty sketchy on spending my money. Brit and I go to a shoe store and start browsing around.

"I think I want a new pair of Uggs." I say to Brit as I head to that section.

"What color?" Brit asks me while walking up beside me and resting her hand on my lower back and rubbing slowly.

I shrug. "Maybe some black ones?" I state while picking up a pair.

"Black would be a good choice." She smiles while picking up a pair of pink sequins ones. "I think I'm going to get these, do you want some?" She asks quietly.

"You don't have to buy me boots, baby." I tell her.

"I know I don't have too." She smiles. "But I want too." She shrugs.

I smile and kiss her on the cheek. "Yeah I like the pink ones too." I finally admit.

"Cool, so we are getting the black ones and the pink sequins one." Brittany smiles while she flags down one of the workers. "Can we get these in an 8 and a 8.5." She says sweetly. "One of each, thanks."

I grab her hand and kiss it softly. "Thank you."

"Thank yourself." Brittany smiles. "I saw the money you put in the joint account, you're basically paying for them." She teases. "So thank you."

I laugh and lean into her embrace as the worker comes back. "Would you ladies like to try these on?" He asks.

"No, we don't need to try them on." I tell him.

"Great, they'll be at the counter for you when you're ready."

"Thanks." Brittany smiles while grabbing my hand as we start to looking around at more shoes.

My mouth drops when I see a pair of Louboutin sneakers. I'm not big on sneakers really, I'll wear them when I'm out running errands or just headed to Quinn's house, but I'm in love with these for some reason. I walk over to them and pick them and see the price tag.

"Whoa….no way." I say while setting them back down.

"Those are pretty awesome." Brittany says while picking up the black shoe, that's adorned with glitter and patent leather.

"They are pretty expensive too." I tell her while shaking my head.

Brittany flips the shoe over and looks at the $500 price tag and shrugs. "Do you like them?" She asks.

"Brittany…."

"Yes or no, Santana?" She asks while looking in my eyes.

"Yeah, I do." I tell her.

"Well, then we'll get them."

"Brittany, that's way too much for sneakers." I tell her while trying to grab the shoe out of her hand.

Brittany holds the shoe high over her head. "If you can reach the shoe to put it back, then we won't get them."

I roll my eyes quickly. "You know I can't reach up there."

Brittany laughs softly. "Try."

I look around to make sure no one is paying attention to us before I start to jump and try to reach Brittany's hand. I get super close but then Brittany starts jumping too so the shoe is higher.

"You're cheating." I laugh out.

"No, I'm not." She replies.

We are both jumping and laughing when the worker comes back over and clears his throat. "Did you two need help with something else?"

Brit and I both stop and look at him. I clear my throat and shake my head.

"Yes, we need these in an 8 as well." Brittany smiles as she puts the shoe back down.

"I have money Brit, you don't always have to pay." I tell her when the worker leaves.

"I know you do, but you refuse to buy yourself things." Brittany says softly.

"Your card is staying in your wallet the rest of the day." I tell her sternly.

Brittany nods and winks at me as she heads to the counter and pays for our shoes.

"Thanks Brit." I tell her as we leave the store.

"You're welcome, baby." She replies while leaning down and kissing me on the forehead. "Where to next?"

I look around. "Ummm, let's go to Macy's." I suggest.

Brittany nods and we head towards the escalator. Brittany stands close behind me and I feel her grab my butt and rub it and giggle. I turn around quickly and smile at her. "Keep your hands to yourself Miss Pierce." I tease her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She winks at me.

We walk in Macy's and of course, I go straight to the housewares department.

"Hey, Sanny, wait." Brittany says while stopping. I turn around and walk back over towards her. "Do you want to get a new comforter for the bedroom?"

"We can." I tell her while looking at the pink floral set she has her hand on. "Do you like that one?" I ask her.

She nods. "It's on sale too." She states while pointing the sign.

I look over the set and see it's a bed in a bag. "That's a good price for that thread count." I tell her. "Let's get it." I tell her. She smiles happily and picks it up as we continue our journey to the housewares section.

"Do you need more appliances?" She asks as I walk through and look around.

"I'm just thinking of the penthouse, I want to make sure everything matches in the kitchen." I tell her.

"That's taken care of already." Brittany states.

I look up at her. "What do you mean?" I ask quickly.

"I already bought matching appliances that match the color of the mixer. The blender, Keurig, toaster, everything is already set."

"What about the stuff at my apartment?" I ask her.

"I was going to donate it to Ashley's foster group home." Brittany says softly. "Is that ok?"

"Of course it is." I say with a big smile before I lean up and kiss her. "We should go visit Ash next weekend, she started school this week, and I want to see how she is adjusting." I tell her.

"That's a great idea, we can maybe take her to a movie." Brittany suggests.

"Sounds good." I reply while nodding. "Do you want to walk around Macy's a little more or are you ready to go?"

"Let's pay for the comforter set, then maybe just browse the mall again?" Brittany suggests.

We go to check out and I quickly pull out my card to my personal account and pay for the comforter before Brittany can object or try to use hers. We walk aimlessly down the mall and bump into Mercedes and a tall handsome guy.

"Hey ladies." She smiles as she hugs us both.

"Hey Cedes, who's your friend?" I ask her while raising an eyebrow.

"This is Jason." She smiles. "He works with Quinn and me, this is Brittany and Santana."

"Nice to meet you." Brittany says with a big smile.

"Same here." Jason smiles. "I've heard a lot about you two."

"All good I hope." I tease while laughing.

"Of course." Mercedes smiles. "We are going to the movies, but we were thinking of grabbing drinks at the jazz spot by our apartments tonight, care to join?"

Brit and I lock eyes and have one our silent conversations. "I'll call you." Brittany tells her.

"Cool, see you later." Mercedes replies as Jason grabs her hand.

"They're cute together." I smile as they walk away.

"Yeah they are." Brittany agrees.

After buying some more miscellaneous items from the mall, Brit and I finally head home. She insisted on cooking lunch, so she made us turkey burgers and fries, which was amazing, and we cuddle on the couch while we watch TV.

Brit is spooning me from behind and rubbing my side when I suddenly sit up.

"What's wrong?" She asks.

"Nothing." I tell her. "I want to sing you a song." I tell her softly.

Brittany sits up and smiles. "Really?"

I nod. "I bought a beat a few years ago from a local producer, I planned on using it for my first single and big break into the music industry but I can't find the right words for the beat." I explain. "This morning when I was making breakfast I thought about you, and how much I love you, and the words started to flow for me, so I want to sing you want I wrote."

"Wow." Brittany blushes. "I would love to hear it."

"Ok." I jump up and plug my iPod into the stereo so the music starts. I then clear my throat and start to sing.

Right there

In a middle of a conversation

Wasn't anything special you said

It was just there

Right then

I didn't have time even over think it

I looked at you and all of a sudden (haha) I was all in

It's like my knees are all weak and them butterflies

They were dancing taking all of my air

From that moment on it was very clear

That's when I knew I fell in love

That's when I knew you were the one

That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me

That's when I knew that I was sunk

That was the moment that I knew I was in love

That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew

I look over at Brit and see her eyes welling with tears and blush slightly. I grab her hand and start the next part of the song while looking down at my phone for the lyrics.

That day

I didn't know where we were going

Where the night would end

I didn't know there was somethin' brewing, and if it was

I didn't know how much I'd care

That touch

When you barely held my hand

I was overcome with feelings I don't understand

Not in a millions years I didn't think that we'd be here

It's like my knees are all weak and them butterflies

Got me dancing taking all of my air

From that moment on it was very very very very clear, ohhhh

That's when I knew I fell in love

That's when I knew you were the one

That's when I knew you stole my heart away from me

That's when I knew that I was sunk

That was the moment that I knew I was in love

That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew

Don't you know it, hey

That's when I knew... that's when I knew... that's when I knew, baby

"I love you, honeybee." I tell her while wiping the tears from her eyes with my thumb. "It really just hit me like that too." I tell her. "The day I took you to work, when we were talking in the car, it just clicked in my head, I drove straight to Quinn's house and told her because I was too nervous to you." I finally admitted.

"I'm glad you finally did tell me." She smiles before leaning forward and crashing our lips together.

"That song is beautiful."

"Thanks." I respond shyly. "I, uh, I'm going to record it so we can have it on disc."

"I want it on my iPod." Brittany smiles before kissing me again. "I love you too, cupcake." She mumbles against my lips.

After a surprisingly innocent make out session, we get ready to head to the second part of our day. As we pull up to the building I glance at Brittany to see her reaction. I see her bounce in her seat as her eyes twinkle.

"I saw your eyes light up when we were watching TV last week when they went to the pottery class in that movie, so I thought it would be fun if we went together." I tell her softly.

''ClayMakers ." Brittany breathes out while reading the sign. "This is going to be so much fun." She says happily.

I pay attention to everything Brittany says and does. I make mental notes when we are watching movies and TV shows, or even just listening to the radio when her eyes light up or twinkle. I toss them in the old memory bank in my brain so I can surprise her with little things that involve it later.

I jump out of the car and run around to her side to open the door for her. She hops out and quickly turns me around and kisses me deeply. "Thank you." She says softly.

"You're welcome." I reply with a small shrug.

We walk in and I instantly know that it's going to be beyond fun and romantic. I kind of want to reenact the pottery scene from Ghost and see if Brit catches on to it. We always quiz each other on movie stuff. I got us a private room at the pottery shop, luckily I called early enough in the day that we got the last room.

After paying for our session I lead Brit to our room, I took a pottery class in high school so I'm pretty good at it, Brittany doesn't know, so I plan to surprise her by making a vase or something for her.

"Have you done this before?" I ask her as she takes her coat off.

"No, I've always wanted too, though." She smiles. "Have you?"

I nod shyly. "I took a pottery class in high school." I tell her as I motion for her to sit down first. I then pull up a chair behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. "I'll guide your hands." I say softly in her ear.

"Ok." She smiles. I kiss her on the neck as I wet both of our hands and place Brittany's on the spinning wheel before wrapping my hands around hers. "Keep moving up and down just like this, so we can form the vase." I tell her.

"This is so cool." Brittany breathes out as I move her hands and help her start to mold the vase. I start to plant soft kisses to her neck.

"You're doing good." I tell her.

"You have so many hidden talents." She says as she smiles and turns to glance at me. I blush and move her hands to form the top of the vase.

"I like to bring them out and surprise you." I laugh.

"I know and I love it." She says as she focuses back on the vase.

I rest my head on her back and start to sing softly.

Oh my love my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine

I need your love

I need your love

God speed your love to me

I feel Brittany's breathing pattern change and lift my head and rest it on her shoulder.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea

To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh wait for me wait for me

I'll be coming home wait for me

Brittany turns her head and smiles at me. "Ghost." She states before kissing me on the cheek. I nod and finish singing the song. "I love that movie."

Oh my love my darling

I've hungered hungered for your touch

A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine

I need your love

I need your love

God speed your love to me

"I love you, Brit." I tell her before she crashes our lips together and we completely forget about the vase as it topples over.

"Oh God!" Brittany says when she realizes what happened. "I'm sorry, Sanny."

"Don't worry about it." I smile. "Let's start over." I tell her as I start to mold the clay again for us.


10pm

After leaving the pottery place with our awesome new vase, Brit and I stop at a diner and have dinner. I love that one day Brit can take me to a five start restaurant and the next we can eat at a hole in the wall diner. She seriously has the best personality ever.

We are in the car when I get a call from a repeat customer that is wondering if I can make cupcakes for her luncheon tomorrow that is out of town and deliver them tonight, she's willing to pay triple.

I could tell Brit was little upset that I took the order since we agreed to just take a day to ourselves, but she helped me bake the 60 cupcakes anyways.

"Are you mad at me?" I ask her as we box up the cupcakes since she's been awkwardly quiet the entire time we've been in the kitchen.

"Honestly, a little." She replies quietly. "We were supposed to take the day for just us, we had all 3 meals together, we shopped, had a romantic trip to the pottery place." Brittany starts to list off. "Today was supposed to be us."

I sigh because Brittany was right but she knows this is my main source of income as well. Part of me feels bad for taking the order but a bigger part of me feels she is overreacting a little.

"It's only 10pm baby, we can still do something together." I tell her. "We can go hear music or get drinks if you want or just hang around here."

"Fine." She shrugs while stacking the boxes in the bag. She then picks up the receipt pad and scribbles out a receipt for me.

"Brit." I say softly as she hands me the bag.

"What Santana?" She asks as I see tears form in her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" I ask her quickly while setting the bag down.

"Because I'm angry." She says a little louder. "You sent me numerous texts all week about how I was working too much and we don't spend enough time together and everything, so I cleared my schedule for today. We both agreed it would just be us today and we just spent over 2 hours baking for a customer."

"That's my job, Brit." I tell her angrily. "You know that, you're the one that pushed me into this."

"I know I did, and you pushed me into writing, but have you seen me check my blog or email today?" She asks.

I shake my head. "You could have if you wanted to." I say with a shrug.

"I know I could have, but I didn't want to." Brittany says while wiping her face. "I wanted to spend the day with my girlfriend, who I've barely seen in days"

"Did we have plans tonight?" I ask her. "Why are you making a big deal about this babe?"

"Just forget it." Brittany says as she begins to clean up the kitchen.

"No, I want to talk about it." I say while turning her around at the sink. "Please?"

"I don't Santana." Brittany replies while turning back around. "I'll clean up the kitchen for you so you can deliver the cupcakes."

"I can't believe you're overreacting like this Brit." I say while picking up the bag.

Brittany doesn't reply she instead just begins to wash the dishes.

"Whatever." I breathe out and walk to get my coat. I slip my shoes on and open the door. "Bye Brit." I yell out. I wait for to say bye back, but I don't hear her say anything so I slam the door to the apartment and head to my car.

I know I'm not crazy and Brit is overreacting. I mean, no, I shouldn't have taken the order without asking her if she planned anything, but she could have told me if she planned something too. I go to my car and realize I don't have my car keys on me. I know Mrs. Tyler only lives a few blocks away so I decide to just walk. I call Quinn and get her opinion while I walk.

Hey San

Hey Q

What's wrong, you sound upset?

I just got in a fight with Brit

About what?

We haven't seen each other a lot this week because of work and stuff so we planned to hang out all day, which we did and after we went to dinner I got a call for a rush order and I took the order, and now she's mad,

Did you ask her if she minded if you took the order?

Why the hell would I ask her?

You just said you planned to hang out all day, maybe she planned something for tonight, Brit is always surprising you with stuff

Fuck….I didn't think of that. Why didn't she just say she didn't want me to do it

She shouldn't have to San, you should have thought about her feelings or whatever before you agreed to take the order.

I guess you're right

She's not going to tell you not to take the order when that's how you make your income for the most part, she's probably just upset you didn't take her feelings into account

Maybe

Did she still help you make them?

Yeah she did

See, its not about you working it's about you not even running it by her, you're in a committed relationship San, you have to take Brits feelings into consideration

How do I fix this with her?

I can't tell you that, you know what to do to fix this and apologize

Ok, well I'm delivering my order so I'll call you tomorrow.

I hang up and text Brittany before I ring the doorbell to Mrs. Tyler's apartment.

TO BRIT BRIT: I'm sorry Brit, please don't be mad at me. I love you and promise to make this up to you. XOXO

I slip my phone back in my pocket and ring the doorbell. Mrs. Tyler of course invites me in and we chat for a minute before she hands me the money to pay.

As I'm walking back down the street I pull out my phone to see if Brittany's texted me back when I feel something in my back. I stop walking and drop my phone when a hand covers my mouth.

"Do not scream." A raspy voice growls in my ear.

I nod quickly as he drags me to the side of a building. He then points a gun right in my face. "Empty your pockets now!"


BRITTANY POV

I knew as soon as Santana left that I was slightly overreacting. I didn't even say bye to her which made me feel awful inside. I was sitting on the couch when she texted and apologized. I instantly sent her a text message back.

TO SANNY: I'm sorry too. I know this is your dream. I'm not mad at you anymore and I hope you aren't mad at me. How about I take you out for drinks and a little dancing tonight? XOXO your honeybee

I start to watch TV and realize that I haven't heard from Santana in a while. I glance at the time and see it's midnight. I pick up my phone and check to see if she's called or texted, but nothing. I call Quinn and see if maybe she went over there.

Hey Brit

Hey Quinnie, is San over there?

No she isn't, she's not home?

No, she went to deliver an order around 10 but she hasn't come home yet

Sorry, babe, she isn't here, maybe she stopped at Molasses for a drink or something, she was a little upset when she called me.

Ok, thanks Quinnie.

If I hear from her I'll make sure she calls you

Thanks.

I hang up the phone and get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. So I jump up and get dressed and decide to go see if maybe she's in her car or something. I grab my keys off the table by the door and notice she doesn't have her car keys. Which means she walked to Mrs. Tyler's apartment. I rush outside and run down the street looking for her.

"Sanny!" I start to yell out while looking around for her. I stop in every diner, bar, and store along the way to Mrs. Tyler's apartment when I hear a faint whimper coming from an alley.
