Chapter 20: Almost Mrs and Mrs Pierce
Brittany's POV
*Wednesday 13th October 2021*
Today was a bit of a mixed day for me because of everything going on. Santana had a dress fitting for the wedding this morning and I had some other wedding things to do today which were exciting and then we went into work. Since we didn't arrive into work until later then we had to ultimately stay late which wasn't ideal for Santana and I. She finished work before me again and was trying to prepare a romantic meal for us again but I ruined it because I was so late home. Things are definitely a lot happier again now that I'm home and finally with Santana.
"You'll have to move harder babe otherwise I'm not going to climax" Santana moans in my ear.
"I'm going as hard as I can but you know my back has been bothering me lately so I can't really move any harder than this" I point out as I continue to thrust into her.
"Why didn't you say that before we started then" she states while pulling me closer and then flipping us over. "I'll go on top and hopefully that makes a difference" she adds.
"I did warn you about my back before we started but I guess you were too busy trying to have sex to listen to what I was trying to say to you" I point out.
"Why are you trying to start an argument when we're having sex?" she questions.
"I'm not" I moan out as Santana sinks down on me. "You started it by telling me my performance wasn't good enough for you to be able to come" I add.
"I only said it to get you moving a bit more. When have I ever not been able to come?" she asks looking down at me.
"Ok" I smile while pulling her down for a searing kiss. After a few more minutes, we both eventually cum together. We let our orgasms ride out before both collapsing back on the bed next to each other.
"That certainly brightened up my hectic day today" Santana says with a smile as she turns her head to the side to look at me.
"I know what you mean" I say in agreement.
"Come here" Santana says while turning to lie on her side and opening up her arms. I turn as well and relax into her opened arms. "I am so glad we are finally together again today after our day apart" she says before leaning in to kiss me. I kiss back and we continue to kiss for a few moments.
"This has left us a little bit messy so what do you say we jump in the shower and have some fun?" I suggest. The warm water should help my back as well so it shouldn't be any problem for me to continue.
"I think that's a great idea" she smirks at me as we remove our arms from one another.
"Good" I smirk back while pulling her towards the bathroom. We waste no more time and get in the shower together. After having fun in the shower and eventually actually getting freshened up, we get out and dried off. We then put on our pyjamas and start our usual nightly routine. We are currently sharing the bathroom sink as we brush our teeth together in front of the mirror.
"What?" Santana asks as she looks at me through the mirror.
"I never said anything" I reply with a shrug.
"You keep staring at me so I'm wondering why. I can see you through the mirror" she smiles.
"I'm just staring at you because I can't take my eyes off of you and I'm also really happy. It might sound stupid but I like just doing simple tasks like this with you" I say. I know we're only brushing our teeth but it's nice to have someone to do these boring things with. It makes me realise how lucky I am to have Santana and I'm not depressingly single anymore.
"I don't think it's stupid. I like it" Santana smiles.
"Ok" I smile back. We finish up in the bathroom before making our way into the bedroom.
"Come on, let's get into bed" Santana says as she pulls me towards the bed. We then get under the covers and settled in one another's arms.
"Tonight has been really fun and it's really took all that wedding planning stress away" I smile.
"Yeah it has been a good night in the end" Santana states. "It wasn't the best day to begin with you working late and then me burning dinner once again this week but it's definitely took a nice turn" she smiles.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 16th October 2021*
Santana and I are having a joint bachelorette party which is going to be fun. We have most of the same friends and we didn't really want to be apart so we decided a joint party was better than one each. It's maybe not the most traditional bachelorette party since we are together but we don't care. We just want to have a fun night with our friends and family celebrating the last of our engagement before we become a married couple. We're just at home right now getting ready for the party. Santana is just changing and I've just finished in the shower.
"This is our last chance at freedom so is there any drunken hook-ups you want to get out of the way tonight before we're married?" I ask as I leave the bathroom and enter the bedroom.
"No way, I'm settled" Santana smiles at me. "You better not think about that either because as far as I'm concerned, I'm more than enough for you" she adds.
"You are more than enough" I smile. "You keep me on my toes so there's no way I want anyone else" I assure her.
"Good answer" she smiles back. "Anyway, you should get dressed babe because I'm almost ready to go. I've got your clothes all laid out for you" she tells me.
"How did you know what I was going to wear tonight?" I ask with a chuckle.
"Well I don't know what you planned on wearing but I know what you should wear" she shrugs at me.
"Ok" I laugh. I then get myself dressed and ready for tonight and Santana finishes getting herself ready.
"You look amazing babe" Santana smiles at me as she walks over and kisses my cheek.
"I have to say the same to you. I'm even thinking of asking you if you want to just stay home and forget about the others so we can just appreciate each other" I smirk.
"That does sound good but I want to go to this party and have fun tonight" she tells me. "When we get home though, we can do whatever you want to do" she smiles.
"Ok" I smile back.
Once we're both ready, we leave and head outside to get a cab. Santana and I arrived a little early to the place where we're meeting our friends so we decided we would grab a drink while we wait. I'm just at the bathroom just now while Santana is ordering us a drink at the bar. As soon as I finish in the bathroom, I head back out and make my way over to the bar. Just as I'm walking over, I notice a man approach Santana and then begins to talk to her. I'm not going to lie; I don't like it because I don't know this guy and tonight is supposed to be about Santana and I enjoying ourselves before the wedding. Tonight is not about random guys talking to my future wife.
"Is this seat taken?" I hear the man ask.
"It very much is" Santana states with a glare.
"Really, because there doesn't look like anyone sitting here" he smiles at her.
"Trust me it's taken so why don't you just go and sit somewhere else" Santana replies. "My fiancée will be here any second to occupy the chair so move along" she adds unamused.
"I thought…"
"I don't care what you thought now move" Santana says unamused but the man doesn't leave. "Fucking move" she adds angrily.
"Wow, feisty" the man smirks at me fiancée. I'm literally two seconds away from beating the crap out of him and I'm not a violent person.
"If you don't leave me alone right now then I'm going to do some damage. Firstly, I'll be wiping that smug smirk off your face with my fist and then I'll kick you so hard between the legs that you'll never be able to have sex again" Santana replies.
"What the fuck is going on here?" I ask as I approach them.
"Nothing. This smug bastard was just leaving" Santana shrugs as she stands up and puts her arm around me.
"Oh, you're the fiancée" he says while smirking at me.
"Yes, I am her fiancée so I'd like you to leave now before I get you thrown out of here" I state seriously. "Otherwise, my fiancée will crack your nuts, won't you babe" I smile at Santana.
"I most certainly will" Santana smirks while taking a step closer to the man.
"Ok fine, I'll go" the man says while holding his hands in the air in surrender. He then leaves and Santana and I turn back around to the bar to get our drinks.
"What an absolute ass" I say while shaking my head.
"I know, right" Santana says annoyed. "Anyway, tonight is about us so let's toast to us" she says as she raises her glass in the air.
"To us" I smile. We clink our glasses together before taking a drink.
We hang out at the bar for a while juts talking to one another. Once our friends and family arrive, we then get a table together. There's not a great big group of people, just our best friends Tina, Mercedes and Quinn and then my sisters Grace and Haley and Santana's sister Carly as well as her brother's girlfriend Laura. We did ask our moms if they wanted to come but they said they would do something else special with us and let us have fun with the younger people in our lives.
"We're going to play a game now where we each ask you a question and you write down the answer. If you're really meant to be getting married then your answers should match" Tina explains while giving Santana and I a pen and a piece of paper each. "Ok, let's start this thing off" she says excitedly.
"Yes, so what is Brittany's go to song?" Mercedes asks us.
"Go to?" Santana questions. "What do you mean by that?" she asks.
"A song that she likes that she would listen to a lot. It could be like a karaoke song or a song that means something so in times of sadness or happiness she might listen to it to cheer her up or relax her a little" Mercedes replies. "Or maybe just her favourite song that means something" she adds.
"Brittany usually just likes whichever songs are current so it changes all the time depending on what's popular at the time" Santana states.
"Ok maybe not a favourite song then but one you know she likes. There must be a song that she likes that she listens to more than once. She likes to dance; is there a song she likes to dance to or a song that maybe reflects her personality" Quinn asks.
"I think I have one" Santana replies.
"Ok, write it down then" Quinn tells my fiancée. "Brittany have you written down your answer too?" she turns to look at me.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Ok, what did you say Santana?" Tina asks.
"I said, Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody" Santana replies while turning over her piece of paper so we can all see what she wrote down.
"Ok, is that correct Brittany?" Tina asks me.
"100% correct" I smile while turning around my piece of paper to show everyone that it's a match.
"Ok, that's a match" Tina smiles. "Same question but about Santana, what's the song for her?" she asks. It takes me a second to have a think about it before I write down my answer. Santana doesn't need anytime to think though because she writes down her answer right away.
"I said, If I Can't Have You" I reply.
"Excellent babe" Santana says excitedly as she turns her paper over to reveal we have another match.
"Next one, what is Brittany's most prized possession?" Mercedes asks and then gives us a few seconds to write our answers down. "Ok, Santana what did you say?" she asks.
"I really wasn't sure because Brittany has a lot of things that mean a lot to her but I just put down her engagement ring" Santana replies while turning her piece of paper over.
"That is what I wrote down" I smile.
"Excellent" Tina smiles at us. "Ok, the same question but about Santana now" she adds. We take another few seconds to write our answers down.
"I wasn't really sure how to answer this because I feel the same as Santana did about me. She has quite a few things that could be the answer here. I was thinking about her engagement ring too but then I decided against it and went with me. I think I am Santana's most treasured possession" I state while turning over my piece of paper.
"A person isn't really a possession Britt" Tina points out to me. "Anyway, Santana what did you write down?" she asks as she turns to look at my fiancée.
"I said Brittany" Santana says triumphantly.
"Santana, you don't own Brittany. I think the question was directed at something you own" Carly tells her sister.
"We got the perfect match so it really doesn't matter" Santana shrugs.
"How did you know she was going to say you Brittany?" Mercedes asks me curiously.
"I just had a feeling that is how she would answer the question for herself even though she answered it differently for me" I say.
"The reason I didn't say I was your most prized possession is because I knew you wouldn't be thinking like that hence the reason I went with an object. I do know that I mean everything to you though and you would be lost without me" Santana smiles at me.
"That is very true" I smile. Of course, Santana is the best thing in my life but I don't own her so I wouldn't have answered the question in quite the same way as Santana.
"It's really sickening just how good you two are" Santana's sister says while rolling her eyes at us after we get another few matches correct. "Anyway, the next question which is for Brittany. What is Santana's biggest achievement?" she asks.
"Oh, that's easy" I smile. We both quickly write down our answers and then turn to each other. "I said her business" I smile while showing everyone my piece of paper.
"Ok Santana, what did you say?" Grace asks.
"I said Brittany" Santana mumbles embarrassingly.
"Your biggest achievement is Brittany?" Quinn asks.
"Yes, it is. Of course, I'm proud of the business I've built up so yes it's an achievement but the biggest accomplishment was being with Brittany" Santana smiles.
"Because it's such a trial to actually be with me so you managed to power through and do it?" I ask.
"Absolutely not" Santana shakes her head at me. "We all know what kind of person I am but somehow I managed to get you to fall for me and I managed to keep you" she smiles.
"That is super cute" I smile while leaning over to kiss her.
"That wasn't a match, ladies" Tina tells us.
"I know but I don't care because Santana's answer was better than any other answer" I say happily.
"Ok, next one. What would you say your favourite part of Brittany is?" Quinn asks Santana.
"I don't really have favourites in anything because I like all different things" Santana states. "I mean how can I pick just one thing about Brittany when I love everything about her?" she adds.
"Ok, worst part about her then. You know like her worst habit or something" Tina asks.
"Oh, come on, that's not fair" I laugh.
"Brittany doesn't really have anything bad about her. I can't even think about one thing that annoys me because there isn't one" Santana shrugs. "I mean we do fight from time to time like every other couple but that's not because we have qualities we don't like about each other" she adds.
"Ok, let's ask Brittany the same thing" Quinn says as everyone turns their attention to me.
"I kinda feel the same about my fiancée although if I really was to answer then I guess an annoying thing about Santana would be how amazing she looks without even trying. It takes me hours to look good and Santana just wakes up sexy" I say honestly.
"That is really cute" Santana smiles while kissing my cheek.
"It's also really true" I smile.

*Friday 22nd October 2021*
Santana and I are both working today but I'm finding it really hard to concentrate because the closer it gets to the wedding the more excited I get. The wedding stresses we had in the beginning are definitely over so everything is great again between Santana and I. We do still have the odd panicking moment if something regarding the wedding crops up but I think we're dealing with it a lot better now so we can be happy and look forward to the wedding. I'm just on my way right now to see Santana since I can't seem to concentrate on my work. I know I should be working but I do have a great team that works with me so it's all good.
"Hey, do you have a minute?" I ask as I walk into Santana's office.
"One second" she whispers while putting 1 finger in the air.
"Ok" I smile. It takes me a few seconds to realise she is on hold with someone on the phone, hence the silence and her not being able to talk. I take a seat across from her at the desk and just patiently wait until she's finished.
"Ok, what's up?" she asks with a smile as she hangs up the phone.
"Nothing" I shrug.
"You wanted to see me though about a work thing, right?" she replies confused.
"I did want to see you but it wasn't about work" I smile.
"Ok so is it about the wedding then?" she wonders as she turns to her computer and starts typing.
"No, I literally just wanted to see you. I didn't need to discuss anything" I shrug.
"I'm right in the middle of something babe" she says as she turns her head to look at me. "I've got a feeling you should be working too; do you not think so?" she adds.
"I just can't concentrate" I groan. "The wedding is almost upon us now and it's getting me really excited so I'm really struggling to focus on my work and do something productive" I tell her.
"I get that honey but we do need to work to make a living" she laughs.
"I know that so I suppose I will get back to work now" I say with a sigh. "I'm sorry that I just can't wait to marry you and get to call you my wife" I shrug.
"Believe me, I'm excited too babe" she smiles. "Actually, I had an idea for us to do something special for when we're married" Santana tells me.
"Ok, I'm listening" I smile while giving Santana my full attention.
"We shouldn't have sex at all before the wedding" she states.
"Uh…say that again" I say surprised. Did I really hear what Santana just said?
"You heard me" she tells me.
"I'm just shocked because Santana and sex are two things that go together so I don't know if you're going to be able to wait until after the wedding" I tease.
"I'm actually serious Brittany" Santana replies. "We already work together and live together so I want something special to look forward to that makes marriage different if that makes sense. I mean I know we've had sex many times before but not doing it for these next two weeks will make our first night of marriage special since it'll be something we haven't done recently" she adds.
"If it's something you want then I'm happy to do it" I smile. I think I see where Santana is coming from because we could get married today if we wanted to because nothing would be different from now until the wedding. However, if we keep something to mark the first day of marriage then it'll make it feel like another step in our future and not just another day with a big party if that makes sense.
"Thank you" she smiles back.
"Ok, I better get back to work now. I'll see you later" I say while standing up from the desk. I walk around it and lean down and kiss Santana when I reach her.
"See you later" she smiles. I then head back to my office.
I'm only working for about an hour before I get a text message from Santana telling me she has scheduled a meeting for the whole building so she wants to see everyone in the conference room in 10 minutes. I did text her back and ask if it was only SL Designs staff and if everyone from BP Sportswear were really needed since I had just gotten into my working groove again today after my lack of concentration. I got an abrupt and blunt reply that everyone who works in the building must attend, no absences would be tolerated. I decided that I'm not going to upset Santana two weeks before our wedding so I gathered my team and we headed to the conference room.
"Thank you all for coming to this last-minute meeting today. I know it was a real struggle for some of you though" Santana says while looking over at me. I just playfully roll my eyes at her because she knows deep down, I didn't mean any disrespect from the texts I sent her.
"What is it about?" Jack asks in a whisper to me.
"I'm not really sure" I shrug.
"Ok everyone, this will be the last weekly meeting for a few weeks" Santana tells everyone.
"Yes, Ms Lopez and I will be here for the next two weeks but then we're taking some time off so it's going to be a while before we pick up the weekly meetings again" I add, realising why we're having a meeting. Santana and I were discussing this the other night so we were going to stop the weekly meetings at some point for a little while before we get back from our time off. I didn't know that today's meeting was meant to be that meeting though.
"We're still very much working here for the next two weeks like Pierce said so if you have any problems then there's still someone here to help. Just don't come to me though, go to her" my fiancée says while pointing at me.
"Uh…Ms Lopez, I don't think that's appropriate because I don't work with SL Designs anymore" I say. "If anyone has any problems who work for me in BP Sportswear then by all means speak to me but if you have a problem with SL Designs then you will have to answer them Ms Lopez" I say as I turn to Santana.
"If you have problems, just speak to Jade" Santana sighs. "Anyway, let's get started on the important points of the meeting because the sooner we do that then the sooner we can all finish for the day and head home" she states.
"I agree" I nod. Santana then starts the meeting and talks about some important points for SL Designs and then she hands over to me and I make a few important points about BP Sportswear. We then come together and make a few points about the whole company in general.
"Ok, that is our last meeting for a few weeks now so you're all free to leave. Just remember, any problems in the next two weeks then come to us and once we leave, Jack and Jade are your go to people to talk to" I tell everyone.
"It's quite late in the day now so you might as well all go home" Santana adds. "I want to see everyone here bright and early on Monday morning though" she warns.
"That goes for BP Sportswear staff as well" I say to clarify that everyone can go home and not just Santana's team. Everyone then gets their things and makes their way out of the room before heading home for the weekend.
"Even though I've sent everyone home for the weekend, I think I'm still going to come into work tomorrow and get a few more things sorted before we take some time off" Santana tells me.
"I have a few things outside of work that I need to do tomorrow but I might work for a few hours in the morning" I point out.
"What kind of outside of work things do you need to do" Santana asks me curiously.
"I need to go to the grocery store to get some things and then I'm going to my sister's place because she wants me to help her with a few things. She has some accounting issues at work that she wants me to discuss with her since I do still have a degree in accounting" I smile.
"Ok" Santana nods. "We should probably take two cars to work then because I'll likely still be there working when you have to leave tomorrow" she adds.
"Yeah, that's fine. I can sort dinner as well tomorrow so all you need to do when you finish work is come straight home" I smile.
"Sounds good" Santana smiles back. "Anyway, let's wrap up for the day and go home" she says while pecking my lips.
Santana's POV
*Sunday 24th October 2021*
I'm just at home having a relaxing day away from work. I've been working the last 6 days so since it's Sunday, I figured I would take the day off. Brittany is out at the moment running errands as far as I'm aware. I'm not sure if they are actually errands or if she's up to something because she got most of the things she needed to do done yesterday. Anyway, I am having some time to myself right now and like I say, not working. I'll be back at work tomorrow and will work most days right up until the wedding. I'm just relaxing on the couch wrapped in a blanket watching some rubbish TV when I hear the front door bang.
"Honey I'm home" I hear Brittany say from the hallway.
"I'm in the living room" I reply and two seconds later, Brittany appears in the room.
"Can you come to the garage with me for a second?" Brittany asks.
"Uh…sure" I say confused as I throw the blanket off and stand up. Why would she need me in the garage right now?
"I need to show you something" she says as she grabs my hand and pulls me to the garage. When we get there, she lets go of my hand and quickly removes a sheet from covering a large item in front of us. "Surprise" she smiles at me.
"You've bought a motorbike?" I ask surprised.
"It's an early wedding present" she smiles at me again.
"But I don't want a motorbike" I point out. I have a great car already and I'm quite fond of Brittany's car too so why would we need a motorbike.
"Good because it's not yours" she shrugs. "It's mine and you don't need to use it if you don't want to" she adds.
"Which bank account did you take the money from to pay for this thing?" I ask.
"What?" she asks me surprised.
"I'm sorry Brittany but if you paid for that in our shared account then I want you to transfer the money from your personal account and pay the money back into our shared account. I really don't want a motorbike so I don't want half of my earnings being used to pay for it" I say seriously.
"I used my own account, don't worry" she assures me. "Why are you so against a motorbike anyway because it's meant to be fun and I want us to ride on it together" she adds with a smile.
"I just think the money could be used elsewhere. I mean when we have children, my car is not appropriate for car seats and strollers so we'll need to buy a bigger one so couldn't the money be used for that" I suggest. Our plan was to keep the two cars we have and buy a third. Brittany's car and the third are more than ok for a child and my sports car is just used for having fun.
"If you get to have a regular family car and a sports car then I get to have a regular car and a motorbike" she shrugs. I guess that is a fair point because I will eventually have two cars.
"Do you even have a licence?" I ask.
"Yeah but I don't really need one anyways since I already drive" she nods.
"Wait seriously?" I say surprised. "How did I never know you had a motorcycle licence?"
"It's not as hard as you think because I was driving first like I say" she shrugs. "You can drive a motorbike if you wanted to" she tells me.
"I don't want to" I state.
"I find this all very amusing because you love fast cars but you don't like motorbikes" she laughs.
"I just don't like them that much because there's not much room in them to carry anything and not really that much room either for a passenger" I state. Why would I want to travel around on my own when I could have Brittany sitting next to me in the car.
"Look the bottom line is that I bought this myself for myself as an early wedding treat so I'm keeping the bike babe" she tells me. "You buy yourself expensive things all the time. I mean you bought a coffee machine just the other day for your office at work because you were tired of having to walk to the staff room to make yourself a coffee" she adds.
"That's fine, you can keep the bike but just make sure all expenses for it are paid by you and only you. I don't want any part in the motorbike so you have to pay for everything yourself and not from our joint account" I state.
"I heard you loud and clear a second ago so don't worry, I will take care of everything myself" Brittany assures me.
"Good" I nod.
"I think you will grow to love the motorbike though and you'll want to ride on it with me" she smiles.
"I doubt it" I shrug. Honestly, I see no appeal in a motorbike. I mean at a stretch there might be some appeal in the thought of squeezing through busy traffic and getting to where you want quicker but other than that, I don't really see the positives of a motorbike.
"Wait until you see me in a helmet and leather pants, you'll not be able to resist me so you'll be thankful for that bike" she smirks at me.
"I will admit it will be hard but I will resist you because we are waiting until marriage" I smile. "Although, that's not because of the bike, that's just because you're sexy" I add.
"Anyway, you've seen the bike now and I'm guessing you don't want a spin on it just now so let's head back inside" Brittany says while pulling me back into the house and closing the garage door behind us.
"Have you got a few minutes to run over some wedding things?" I ask as we get sat down in the living room on the couch next to each other.
"I do" Brittany replies with a wink. "Pun intended by the way" she smirks.
"Ok" I laugh. "I just wanted to go over a few details on the days before the wedding" I add.
"Ok, so we've decided we'll each stay at our parent's houses the night before the wedding and get ready there before meeting at the ceremony" Brittany asks to clarify.
"Yes" I smile. "We'll travel with our dads each in a wedding car and meet there. The bridesmaids will be in another two cars and Quinn and Carly will get ready with me, and Grace, Haley, Mercedes and Tina will all get ready with you" I say.
"Sounds good" Brittany smiles back.
"Since we get married on the Saturday then I think we should finish up at work on the Thursday and that leaves the Friday to sort out any last-minute things" I suggest.
"Yeah that sounds like a plan. We can spend the morning together before we head off to our parent's houses to spend the night" she replies.
"Exactly" I nod. "Next weekend we have a meeting with the venue to make sure we're happy with the way things are going to be set up for the ceremony" I add.
"I know" Brittany smiles. "Everything seems to be coming together well" she adds.
"It really does and I'm so excited to get married to you" I say happily.
"Yeah, I can't wait to become your wife" Brittany says as she leans in and kisses me.

*Saturday 30th October 2021*
I'm just finalising some wedding decisions right now with Quinn and my sister. Brittany isn't home right now; she's spending some time with her parents and siblings so I've got the house to myself to work on some wedding things. My sister does a lot of modelling so she's invited a top hair stylist to my place and we're trying out different designs for the wedding. This is the only wedding I plan on having so I want everything to be perfect, including my hair and all that stuff. I don't not want my wedding pictures to be an embarrassment with my hair flying all over the place. We're already taking a risk by having the wedding in the fall when the weather might not be as great as the summer would be.
"Neither of you can mention which hairstyle I've picked to Brittany because I want it to be a surprise, ok?" I warn my best friend and sister.
"Our lips are sealed" Quinn smiles.
"Good" I nod. We spend the next few hours doing different hair designs to see which ones I like best. There are some definite styles that I don't want and a few looks I really do like. It takes me some time to decide before I finally pick the one I want. "I really think this is the hairstyle ladies" I say happily. I did like all of the ideas that I had narrowed down but I think this hairstyle would suit my wedding dress the best.
"It looks great" my sister tells me.
"It really does and I think…" Quinn agrees but is cut off.
"Hi" Brittany smiles as she enters the room.
"Brittany, get out!" I scream as I pull Quinn closer to me in front me. I really don't want her to see my hair right now so I'm using Quinn as a shield.
"Fuck Santana" Brittany says taken aback while turning around and leaving the room quickly.
"Do you think she saw?" I ask worriedly.
"No, I don't think so, don't worry" Quinn assures me. "Carly and I were sort of in her eyesight so I don't think she noticed you or your hair really" she adds.
"I hope not" I sigh.
As soon as Quinn and Carly leave with the hair stylist, I make my way upstairs to find Brittany. I'm not 100% sure where she is but I'm guessing she'll be in the bathroom or the bedroom since she isn't anywhere downstairs. When I walk into the bedroom, Brittany is lying on top of the bed with her laptop on her lap. I notice she's changed into some BP Sportswear sweatpants and a shirt instead of the more formal clothes she was wearing when she got home.
"Hi" I say as I climb onto the bed next to her. She doesn't verbally reply, she just looks at me before sighing. "I missed you today" I tell her as I kiss her cheek.
"I just don't understand" she says as she sits her laptop down at the side and turns to face me.
"I'm really sorry about the way I reacted when you got home" I apologise.
"That was really rude" she tells me unamused.
"I'm so sorry, I panicked" I say feeling bad. "Quinn and Carly had invited this top hairdresser over to try out some looks for the wedding. I found a hairstyle that I really liked and then you walked in. I just didn't want you to see my hair before the wedding. I know it's different from the dress but I feel like it's still a superstition" I say.
"It's ok" she says, her face softening a little as she smiles at me.
"Believe me, I didn't mean to be so rude" I say honestly.
"I know that now so come here" she smiles while pulling me closer to her. We shuffle down the bed a bit and Brittany wraps her arms around me as she spoons me from behind. "Today was no fun without you" she says as she kisses the back of my head.
"I'm here now though" I say as I squeeze her hands in mine.
"That's true" Brittany replies. "Let's not spend a day apart now before the wedding. I want to enjoy you as my fiancée for the rest of the time before you become my wife" she adds.
"Sounds like a good plan to me so I'm onboard" I say as I relax into my fiancée.
"Good" she replies. We lie in a comfortable silence for the next little while. We're both a bit tired from our own activities today and it's nice just relaxing with each other in each other's arms. Actually, it was nice in the beginning but now it's really not so much.
"Brittany for the love of god will you stop pressing yourself against me, jeez" I say annoyed as I move away from her, closer to the edge of the bed.
"Why?" she asks teasingly as she moves closer and slowly drags her finger down my leg.
"Because you know it's going to turn me on and we can't have that. We said we would wait until we're married so we have to stick to that" I point out.
"I know but it's hard to keep so far away from you" she shrugs.
"Brittany, what are you going to do if you get hard?" I ask as I turn around to look at her. "I'm not taking care of it and no one else is most certainly going to do it so what will you do?" I add.
"I'll take care of it myself" she shrugs again at me.
"No way" I shake my head. "The deal is nothing sexual will happen before the wedding so not even you are allowed to take care of things" I tell her.
"Fine, let's just talk about something that will take my mind off things" she sighs.
"We could talk about work" I suggest.
"No that won't help" she shakes her head at me. "My boss you see is this sexy woman who I really like and I want to have sex with her really badly so it's just going to make things worse" she adds.
"Yeah, I have this particular employee where I work who is really hot so maybe work isn't the best topic to distract us" I smile, playing along with Brittany.
"Exactly" she smiles back.
"Can I ask you a question?" I say seriously.
"Always" Brittany smiles.
"Were we really just a boss and employee in the beginning who didn't actually have feelings when they hooked up?" I ask curiously.
"I mean that is what I thought we were so I wasn't lying at the time but I do think I must have fallen for you without realising it" she admits.
"I think I was the same" I say in agreement.
"You know me now and does a fling and just a sex arrangement seem like the kind of thing I would do?" she asks me. "I think if that had been anyone else, I wouldn't have been able to do that. Sure, I like sex but I don't think I could just have a friend with benefits thing with someone. It's really not me, do you not think?" she adds.
"Knowing you now and seeing the relationship we have now, it does actually surprise me that you were into that" I say honestly. I don't mean any disrespect to her but she isn't that type of person I don't think.
"I feel like I must have had some sort of feelings for you in the back of my mind to do that" she states. "Did you maybe have feelings for me too?" she asks nervously.
"I wasn't aware of them or what it meant but I must have. I've never acted the way I act around you with another employee before. There were plenty of employees I could have hooked up with or whatever but I never once did that except with you. Honestly, you were always different for me than anyone else. I think I might have been flirting with you sometimes but I pretended I wasn't because it was wrong. As your boss, I knew it wasn't appropriate but I couldn't help it" I say.
"I mean, the heart wants what the heart wants" she says teasingly.
"That is why I love you so much" I smile while pulling her in for a kiss.
"What?" she asks confused.
"You could see that was getting too much for me talking about feelings and shit so you made a joke to change the subject. You could have said something serious and deep back to me but you chose to make light of the situation" I state.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to make everything serious into a joke. It's just a habit I have sometimes and I can't help it because I like trying to be…"
"Baby, I said it's why I love you. It's a good thing" I smile.
"Honestly, does it get tiresome when I try to make everything serious into something funny?" she asks seriously.
"You don't do that all the time babe but when you do, I appreciate it because I'm still not a feeling type of girl so I don't want to be seriously deep all the time. You know the boundaries of when to do it and when not to so there's nothing to worry about" I smile.
"An ex broke up with me because I am kinda annoying in that way. I can be loud and make jokes all the time so it does play a little on my mind that I go too far" she admits.
"Brittany, I love you for you so don't dare change because of some stupid relationship that would never work out. You and I are meant to be together so that is why that ex is indeed an ex and not a current fixture in your life. You know what you mean to me so don't worry about the past" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany nods, smiling back at me.
"Ok, I have said I love you a couple of times now and never heard it back so stop being a bitch and admit you love me" I state playfully.
"I love you so much and I will prove it to you on our wedding. I would do it now but my fiancée has put a sex ban on us so I am to remain firmly to myself and not engage in sexual activity even though I want to make love to you so badly" she smiles.
"I won't lie, this is super hard for me" I admit.
"Harder than how hard I'm going to get if you don't remove your hand from my leg" Brittany says as she pushes my hand away from her thigh. It had slowly crept there after I kissed her moments ago.
"Sorry" I smile. "Hey, I have an idea" I say while sitting forward and turning around before swinging a leg over Brittany's waist to straddle her hips.
"What are you doing?" Brittany asks nervously.
"I am going to give you a massage but I promise to keep it clean" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles back.
The wedding will be next chapter so let me know what you think. Hopefully everyone is still liking the story.
