Chapter 77: Summer Vibes
Santana's POV
*Saturday 5th July 2025*
My family and I are having a quiet Saturday so far. Brittany and I aren't working this weekend so we've been spending some quality time with our children. All three children are having their afternoon nap at the moment so I'm just on my way to find my wife and see what she's up to. After checking a few rooms, I haven't a clue where she is. It's not until I look outside, I see Brittany sitting on our driveway.
"What is going on?" I mumble to myself as I open the front door. "What the fuck are you doing out here?" I ask my wife as I walk towards her.
"Ok, 1 – no need to swear and 2 – I am out here because one of our neighbor's cats was sitting on our front lawn. It's now moved to the driveway so I'm just petting it" Brittany smiles at me.
"Instead of stroking its fur, let's just get it out of here where it doesn't belong. I don't want my yard covered in cat shit" I state.
"Cats are very polite; they don't leave their mess around. It's usually hidden in the soil or something" Brittany tells me with a shrug.
"I don't care where it is, I don't want it in my garden so get that little fucker out of here" I say seriously.
"I don't know why but I always find it so endearing that you're scared of cats" Brittany says amused.
"For the hundredth time, I am not scared of them. I just don't like cats because they're kinda bitchy. If I was scared then I wouldn't be standing here. There is a different between being scared and just not liking something" I point out.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"Now come on, get it out of here and come back inside" I tell Brittany.
"Your wish is my command, my love" Brittany smiles at me before standing up and reaching down to pick up the cat.
"God, don't pick it up" I state. "You don't know where it's been."
"Yes, I do, it's been in our garden so don't look so freaked out when this is your own garden" Brittany laughs.
"I meant you don't know where else it has been so put it down. Just entice it out by using words or something. Don't touch the fucker" I say.
"Honey, stop calling it a fucker. It's a cat and it has a name" Brittany says amused as she puts the cat down on the ground again.
"Britt, I don't know half of our neighbor's names so I highly doubt I know any of the cats' names" I laugh.
"Fair enough" Brittany chuckles. "Although I am pretty sure this cat is called Grayson" she shrugs.
"Why would anyone call a cat Grayson?" I ask.
"Perhaps it's because it has gray fur?" Brittany suggests.
"Right, yeah" I laugh.
"Anyway, I will get the cat out of here and meet you back inside" Brittany smiles at me as she leans towards me but I pull away.
"I love you but you just touched a cat so I don't want you to kiss me until you've cleaned up" I say.
"Yeah, I picked up the cat in my hands but my lips didn't touch it" Brittany laughs.
"I know that but I still don't want you to kiss me until you've washed your hands" I shrug.
"Ok, fine" Brittany laughs again.
"Don't be long" I say before heading back inside to leave Brittany to do what she needs to do to get rid of the cat.
"I'm going to wash my hands now and then I'm all yours" Brittany says as she walks inside.
"Ok" I nod. After a minute or so, Brittany returns.
"My hands are all clean so may I kiss you now" Brittany says as she walks closer to me.
"Yeah, I don't see why not" I smirk.
"Good" Brittany smirks back as she leans in to kiss me.

Brittany was just checking the kids were all settled for the night while I was getting myself organised for bed. I've just finished brushing my teeth so I'm now pulling back the bedsheets for us to get into bed. I'm just about to lay down when Brittany walks in the door and closes it behind her. It's when she turns around to look at me that I realise she's not in her pajamas but instead, wearing some sexy lingerie.
"Are you ready for me?" Brittany asks seductively.
"Ready for what?" I ask surprised.
"For me to show you how much you really mean to me" Brittany smiles as she walks towards me.
"I'm not ready because I can't say I was expecting this but I'll get ready" I say excitedly as I place my hands at the bottom of my shirt to take it off.
"Nah-ah, I'll do that" Brittany smirks as she places her hands on top of mine.
"Can I just say, you look so hot right now" I point out as Brittany slowly moves my pajama shirt before discarding it.
"You can say that and I would also like to say the same to you" Brittany says as she places her hands on the waistband of my pajama shorts.
"If you take my shorts off, I'll be naked" I smirk.
"That's the idea" Brittany smirks back at me as she removes them.
"As much as you're sexy like that, I don't want to be naked if you're not" I tell her.
"How about you get comfortable in bed and I'll undress" Brittany suggests.
"Sounds good" I smile as I get into bed. "I would ask you to put on a show for me as you undress but I'm too desperate to get you into bed next to me" I smirk.
The minute Brittany gets into bed, I pull her close to me and we kiss. We don't waste any more time and the intensity increases. I'm getting more and more turned on by the second. It's not until Brittany is slowly leaving a trail of kisses down my body getting closer and closer to where I need her most, that I almost lose it.
"Oh god…oh god, keep going please" I moan.
"I will" Brittany smirks at me as she pushes her tongue straight into me.
"Oh…fuck" I moan.
"I love the sound of your moans" Brittany says smugly as she momentarily takes a breath. Just as she is about to dive back in, I reach out for her to take another second.
"What's wrong?" she asks.
"What about you?" I ask breathlessly as my wife looks painfully hard right now.
"Tonight is about you" Brittany shrugs.
"Ok" I smile.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Monday 7th July 2025*
It's been a busy day so far for my family and I. Brittany and I were working for a good part of the day and the children were in daycare. We then all came home and had dinner together and got a chance to spend some time together. The children have finally all gone to sleep now so I'm hoping my wife and I can have a little bit of time to relax before we need to go to bed and do everything all over again tomorrow.
"Hey" I say as I walk into the living room where Brittany is.
"Hi" Brittany smiles at me as she pauses what's playing on the TV.
"What are you watching?" I ask my wife as I sit down beside her.
"I've recently been binge watching all of the seasons I can get of Love Island so I was just catching up on another episode" Brittany states.
"Oh" I say rolling my eyes. Love Island does not appeal to me at all.
"Did you know they have a Love Island in Sweden?" Brittany asks.
"Nope, I didn't" I say uninterested.
"They have one in France too" she tells me.
"Ok" I shrug.
"Do you want to watch this next episode with me?" Brittany asks me.
"Not really" I shake my head. "I mean I want to spend time with you but I don't particularly want to watch Love Island" I add.
"That's fine, we can watch something else on TV if you want and I can catch up with this at another point" Brittany shrugs.
"Sounds like a plan" I say as I swing my legs up and rest them on Brittany's lap.
"What do you want to watch?" Brittany asks me curiously.
"We could watch a movie" I shrug.
"Have you got the patience to watch a movie because sometimes you haven't" Brittany teases me.
"That is true but I can't think of anything else we could watch right now because I don't want to start something new and not get to a good place in the plot" I say.
"Ok, a movie it is then" Brittany nods.
"Will I choose?" I ask as I take the TV remote.
"Yeah" Brittany smiles.
"Ok" I smile back.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 12th July 2025*
"Are you watching Love Island again?" I ask my wife with a sigh.
"Yeah" Brittany nods.
"Why?" I ask.
"I'm watching it because I enjoy it. I mean why else?" Brittany laughs.
"I don't know" I shrug.
"Why do you dislike it so much?" Brittany asks me amused.
"I don't know what it is, it's just not something that interests me very much" I admit.
"I wasn't sure how much I would like it but I'm hooked now. I'm obsessed with it really" Brittany chuckles.
"If you really want to keep watching then I'll try and watch it with you now" I say.
"I'm quite a few episodes in so I'll catch you up as we go instead of starting from the start again" Brittany tells me.
"Ok" I nod.
We get sat down together and begin watching the episode Brittany had started. She catches me up on all of the islanders and who are all in couples so far. I'm going to be honest though, I don't think I'm going to be able to remember all of their names and it'll certainly take me some time to remember who likes who. People like multiple people and multiple people like them so there's many triangles and whatever.
"Who do you find the hottest person?" I ask my wife curiously.
"The hottest islander?" she asks.
"Yeah" I nod.
"From the season I'm watching or from the whole franchise in general?" Brittany queries.
"The whole thing" I reply.
"Well, I haven't seen all of the seasons that's been completed" Brittany says.
"Just from the ones you have seen then, who's the hottest person?" I ask.
"I feel like this is a trick question" Brittany replies.
"It's not, it's just a general question" I shrug.
"If I say someone is hot then you're going to get pissed that I find someone hot but at the same time, me saying that is also going to get you pissed because you're going to assume I do find someone hot" Brittany explains.
"Well, do you think any of them are hot?" I ask curiously.
"I mean they're all hot in their own way but not one of them has anything on you" Brittany smirks at me.
"Right" I nod.
"If you're wondering if I find any of them attractive then no, I'm not attracted to anyone but you" Brittany assures me.
"Good to know" I say.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Monday 14th July 2025*
Brittany, the kids and me are all going on vacation today with our friends and their children. Mercedes, Sam and their daughter Brooke are going as are Mike, Tina, their son Mike Jr and Quinn, James and their daughter Lucy. We're all currently hanging about at the airport together waiting on boarding our plane.
"I've got a question for you guys, which is correct; Santana and Brittany or Brittany and Santana?" I ask. "Like I'm thinking about how you write our names on greetings cards or when you mention our names in general. What do you think is the right way round?"
"I think we normally say Brittany and Santana" Quinn replies.
"To me it's Santana and Brittany all day long" I shrug.
"Why because you're more important so must come first?" Quinn laughs.
"No, I think it just sounds better on the tongue" I shrug.
"Well, I think it should be Brittany and Santana because it's more grammatically correct in the sense it's alphabetical" Brittany says.
"That does make sense" Mercedes states.
"I say Brittany and Santana not the other way around" Tina shrugs.
"Actually, you're right Santana, it should be Santana and Brittany" Brittany nods.
"Exactly" I nod back.
"Age before beauty as they say" Brittany smirks.
"My name isn't first because I'm older thank you very much" I state.
"No, it's first because you're more important" Brittany smiles.
"I can be down with that" I smirk.
XXX
We're all finally at our destination and in the villa we'll be spending the week at. All of the kids are now in bed so us adults are hanging out in the living room together. We're just catching up and having a glass of wine, relaxing on our first night of the vacation.
"I was thinking since we're all together then we could make things fun and play a game" Brittany suggests.
"I can be down with playing a game" Quinn smiles.
"Me too" Tina nods.
"What kind of game are we talking?" I ask.
"You know how I am kinda obsessed with Love Island at the moment?" Brittany says excitedly.
"Uh-huh" Tina nods.
"Well, I thought we could play some of the games they do on the show" Brittany smiles.
"I guess we could but which game?" Mercedes asks.
"It's like a question game" Brittany says.
"You've already made-up questions for us to ask, haven't you?" I laugh.
"Sort of. I have got them from the show but I haven't actually looked at them. There was this website where you can get questions for a game like this so I downloaded it onto my tablet" Brittany smiles.
"Ok, let's play it then" Quinn says.
"The one we're going to play just now is called Mr and Mrs, or in mine and Santana's case Mrs and Mrs" Brittany explains.
"Ok, how do we play?" Mike asks.
"What we're going to do is split into two sides and take turns asking the questions" Brittany says. "Boys can sit on this side of the room with me and the other girls can sit on that side of the room" she adds.
"Ok" I nod.
"Ok so one person reads a question out. For example, I read out a question so that means me and the boys have to guess based on you girls. Say the question was favorite TV show which means me and the boys would have to guess what your favorite show would be. You all would need to write your answers down as well. If it's a match then you get 5 points for your couple" Brittany explains.
"I'm guessing then we'll read a question and guess based on you all" I say.
"Exactly and we'll just go back and forth then whichever couple has the most points wins" Brittany smiles.
"Seems simple enough so let's do it" Quinn nods.
"Who wants to start?" Brittany asks.
"I'll go" I reply.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"What is your partner's worst habit?" I say, reading the question aloud. We all take a few minutes to write our answers down.
"What did you say Santana?" Quinn asks me.
"I said Brittany's worst habit is not reading the room. Like her jokes sometimes aren't timed well at all" I reply.
"Ok, Brittany?" Quinn asks looking at my wife.
"I said my worst habit is not reading the room" Brittany smiles as she turns around her board.
"That is a match so 5 points for you two" Quinn says. "Ok Tina, what is Mike's worst habit?" she asks looking at her.
"I said he gets distracted easily, like sometimes we'll be talking and a song he likes comes on so he'll start dancing and forget what we're talking about" Tina replies.
"Ok, Mike. What did you say?" Quinn asks.
"I said my worst habit is I dance too much" Mike replies.
"I'm not sure if that's a match" I point out.
"I think it is because they both mentioned dancing" Brittany says.
"Ok fine, 5 points to Tina and Mike" I nod.
"Ok Mercedes, what are you saying is Sam's worst habit?" Quinn asks.
"Sometimes he spends too much time in the mirror" Mercedes replies.
"Is that correct Sam?" Quinn asks looking at Sam.
"Yeah, that's what I said" Sam smiles as he shows us his answer.
"Five points to you two then" Quinn says.
"Over to you now Quinn, what did you say was James's worst habit?" I ask.
"I think my husband's worst habit is that he's too indecisive at times" Quinn replies.
"Ok, what have you said James?" I ask.
"I said I'm too indecisive" James smiles.
"That is a match so 5 points for your couple" I say.
"That concludes round 1 and all couples are on 5 points so let's move on" Brittany says. "Mike, do you want to go next?" she asks.
"Sure" he nods. "Ok, what would your partner say is their best asset?" Mike reads out for the boys and Brittany to answer.
"Oh, now we're talking" Brittany smirks.
"Asset could be anything Britt, not just talking body parts here" Quinn laughs.
"Ok" Brittany laughs.
"Are we all ready to answer?" I ask after a minute or so.
"Yeah, so let's go" Tina says.
"Ok, James you go first" I say.
"I think my wife would say her best asset is her brain because she's like super smart" James smiles at Quinn.
"Ok, what is the answer, Quinn?" I ask.
"I said my brain" Quinn smiles.
"That's a match then, another 5 points to you two" I say. "Ok Sam, what did you think Mercedes would say?" I ask.
"I thought she would say her best asset was her voice because she's extremely talented at singing" Sam replies.
"Mercedes, what's the answer?" I ask.
"I said my singing ability" Mercedes nods.
"Close enough so that's a match and 5 points to you two" I say. "Ok, Mike what would Tina say is her best asset?" I ask.
"Like James, I also said my wife's brain is her best asset because she's intelligent" Mike replies.
"Ok Tina, what did you say?" I ask.
"I said my intelligence is my best asset" Tina replies.
"That's a match for you two and 5 points" I say.
"Ok, Brittany what did Santana think was her best asset?" Quinn asks.
"I said my wife would say her best asset is her money" Brittany shrugs.
"I really thought Brittany was going to say something like breasts" Quinn bursts out laughing.
"Me too" Mercedes laughs uncontrollably.
"It was such a sensible answer, we didn't see it coming" Tina laughs.
"What is the answer, Santana?" Quinn asks.
"I said my best asset was my business" I reply.
"That's not a match guys" Quinn shakes her head.
"Oh well" Brittany shrugs.
"Ok, I'll go next" Mercedes says as she looks at the next question. "What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to your partner?"
"Oh, this should be interesting to hear from everyone" I laugh as we all write our answers down.
"Tina, do you want to go first?" Quinn asks.
"Ok" Tina nods. "I said the most embarrassing thing to happen to Mike was when he fell down the stairs on our first date. He ended up hitting his head and he needed stitches so we spend our first date in the hospital" she explains.
"Do you agree Mike?" I ask.
"That is what I said" Mike smiles.
"That's a match and 5 points for you both" Quinn says.
"Quinn, do you want to answer next?" Mercedes says.
"Sure" Quinn replies. "Ok, I thought James's most embarrassing thing to happen to him was in the doctor's office. It was when I was pregnant and we were at a scan and the doctor left the room for a second so James started looking around. He then started playing with the instruments just as the doctor walked back into the room, who did not look amused" she says.
"Is that the answer?" Mercedes asks James.
"Yeah" James laughs.
"Ok Santana, what did you say was Brittany's most embarrassing thing?" Mercedes asks.
"There were a couple but I went with the time Brittany got food poisoning not long after she started working for me and we didn't really know each other that well so it was uncomfortable for her" I say.
"Do you agree Brittany?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah, that is what I wrote down" Brittany laughs. "It doesn't seem that embarrassing now because these things happen but it was super embarrassing for me because I didn't know Santana and I was using her bathroom. We weren't comfortable around one another yet and she was making me feel nervous around her especially when I had to keep using the bathroom" she adds.
"Ok, just Mercedes and Sam left to answer this question so what was the most embarrassing thing for Sam?" I ask.
"I said the time during high school when he was playing in the final of a football game when a cheerleader accidentally tripped him up on the sideline so he had to sit out the rest of the game and ice his ankle" Mercedes says.
"Is that correct Sam?" I ask.
"I mean that was embarrassing but I didn't say that. I said the most embarrassing thing to happen to me was my first meeting with Mercedes's dad. I tried so hard to get him to like me but it just didn't go well" Sam explains.
"I know how you feel, I'm still not sure if Tina's dad likes me" Mike laughs.
"Ok, onto the next round" I say. "James it's your turn to read out a question" I add.
"Ok, what is your partner's favorite sex position?" James reads out.
"Absolutely not" Quinn says in disgust.
"Yeah, no way are we answering that" Mercedes says shaking her head.
"That's too intimate and should be left for each couple to know and only know amongst themselves" Tina agrees.
"Just read the next question James" Sam shrugs.
"Ok" James nods. "What is your partner's best personality trait?"
"That's a nice question" I say as we all write our answers down. Sam answers first then James and then Mike with all 3 couples getting 5 points.
"Brittany, what is Santana's best personality trait?" James asks.
"I said how kind and caring she is. She doesn't always welcome people in but the people she loves the most like her friends and family, she would take a bullet for" Brittany says.
"Do you agree Santana?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah, I said my caring side" I smile.
"That is a match for everyone this round, well done. Ok onto the next" Tina says.
"It's my turn so let's see what we have" Quinn says as she looks at the question. "What is your best physical feature?" she reads.
"That's interesting" Brittany nods. "So, what do you think Quinn?" she asks.
"I would say my best physical feature is my eyes" Quinn replies.
"Do you say the same James?" Brittany asks.
"I said my wife's eyes" James smiles.
"Well done, that's a match. Ok Mercedes, what do you think?" Brittany asks. Mercedes then answers and Sam matches it. We then moved onto Tina's answer and Mike matched it so they also got 5 points.
"Ok, Santana what do you think?" Mercedes asks.
"I would say my best physical feature is…my body?" I say unsure.
"Oh yeah" Brittany smirks at me.
"Is that what you wrote down?" Quinn asks Brittany.
"Actually, no" Brittany laughs causing everyone else to laugh.
"What have you said then?" Quinn asks.
"I was being quite specific because I thought Santana would be so I said her best physical feature was her lips" Brittany replies.
"My lips?" I question confused.
"Yeah, because I could just kiss them all day" Brittany smirks at me.
"Ok" I laugh.
"Well, I'm sorry but it's not a match ladies" Quinn says.
"Oh well, onto the next question then" Brittany shrugs.
"I think it's my turn now" Sam says as he begins reading out the question. "What is one thing you'd change about yourself?"
"That's a tricky one" James says as everyone takes a minute and begins thinking about it.
"Ok, are we ready?" Tina asks.
"I think we are" Mike says and then everyone begins to answer. Mike and Tina's answers match as do Mercedes and Sam, and Quinn and James.
"Ok Santana, what did you say you think Brittany would change about herself?" Tina asks.
"I said nothing. I don't think she would have said she would change anything and nor should she" I smile.
"Do you agree Brittany?" Mercedes asks.
"I said I'd change my personality" Brittany replies.
"Wait…why?" I ask surprised. "You've got a great personality babe. You're kind and funny, like what's not to like?"
"I feel like I'm too much sometimes, I can be annoying" Brittany shrugs.
"I don't think that at all" I say honestly.
"Ok" Brittany smiles at me.
"Unfortunately, that wasn't a match for you both" Quinn says. "Ok Tina, it's your turn" she says moving on.
"What is your partner's biggest turn on?" Tina reads the next question.
"Oh Jesus Brittany, what is with these questions?" Quinn sighs. "Are they almost all sexual?"
"I don't think so, like I say I didn't read them beforehand" Brittany shrugs.
"She did get them from Love Island so they are expected to be like this" James states.
"Let's move onto another question because we're not answering this one either" Mercedes says as Tina moves on.
"What is your partner's parents' names?" Tina reads.
"This should be easy for everyone otherwise we've got some problems" Brittany laughs.
"Yeah, this is an easy question for everyone" Quinn says and then we all go around and answer it, with everyone getting 5 points.
"Ok the last question is down to you my love" I smile at Brittany.
"Ok" Brittany smiles back. "What is your partner's worst personality trait?" she reads out.
"Haven't we answered this?" Sam asks confused.
"No, the worst question we had was worst habit and the personality question was best personality trait" Mercedes explains.
"Oh, ok" Sam nods. We all then take a minute and write down our answers.
"Ok, let's kick things off" I say as everyone begins reading out their answers.
James and Quinn start but their answers don't match. Mercedes and Sam answer next and then Tina and Mike. None of the couples match their answers but I think that's just because the guys are all too polite and don't want to offend their wives.
"Ok Britt, what do you think my worst personality trait is?" I ask.
"I said that you're not always the most welcoming to people. I mean the people you care about you'd do anything for but for other people, you don't always make them comfortable around you" Brittany explains nervously.
"Ok" I nod.
"Am I correct?" Brittany asks me.
"I said I'm not always the nicest to people so I'd say you're correct" I smile.
"Yeah, I'd say it's a match" Brittany nods.
"Ok well that ends the game so let's see who has won" Quinn says as she looks at the scores. "In 4th place we have, Brittany and Santana" she says.
"Really?" I ask annoyed.
"Yeah" Quinn nods.
"That kinda sucks but it doesn't mean we don't know each other. We just have too many good qualities to pick from" Brittany smiles.
"I guess" I say smiling at my wife.
"Ok 3rd place is Mercedes and Sam" Quinn says. "And in 1st place we actually have a tie so both James and myself scored the same as Tina and Mike" she smiles.
"Well done guys" Brittany says congratulating everyone.
"Yeah, well done whatevs" I sigh as I roll my eyes.
"Excuse my wife, she's a sore loser" Brittany says amused.
"To be honest she's not the most gracious winner either whenever she wins something" Quinn teases me.
"I'm competitive and that's a good quality to have" I shrug.
"I like that you're competitive" Brittany smiles at me.
XXX
We're all in bed now and getting ready to go to sleep for the night. Brittany and I have just got settled in bed under the covers.
"I lied earlier" Brittany tells me.
"About what?" I ask confused.
"I didn't really think your best asset was your money. I was just trying to be polite since we were around everyone and also basing it on what I thought you would say, not what I thought myself" Brittany explains.
"Ok, what do you think my best asset is?" I ask curiously.
"It has to be your body" Brittany smirks at me as she wraps her arms around me.
"Any specific part of my body?" I smirk back.
"No, the whole make up. Your body is amazing, not only am I talking about you being insanely attractive but also the fact you've grew our three children inside of you. That is amazing" she tells me.
"I like that answer better than the ones we gave" I smile.
"Good" Brittany smiles back.
"Any other answers you wish were answered differently?" I ask.
"There were some we didn't answer that I would have liked answered. I mean just out of curiosity, what's your favorite sex position?" Brittany smirks at me.
"I wouldn't say I have an outright favorite but I am always partial to anything with you on top" I shrug.
"I can believe that" Brittany nods.
"What's yours?" I ask curiously.
"I'm kinda boring, I like anything just as long as I have you naked" Brittany smiles.
"What about your biggest turn on, what's that?" I ask curiously.
"Lots of things turn me on but that's only with you" Brittany says.
"Can I hear some examples?" I smirk.
"When you kiss me, it turns me on. I mean like a proper kiss not just a peck" Brittany replies.
"Ok, anything else" I smile.
"Sometimes it's as simple as a touch. I have to be in the right headspace at the time though because it's not like you touch my hand and suddenly, I can't control myself all the time" she chuckles.
"Ok" I smile.
"What about you?" Brittany asks me.
"I do quite like it when you kiss my neck" I smirk.
"Ok" Brittany nods with a smirk. "Something like this maybe?" she asks as she leans in closer and gently kisses my neck.
"Yeah, something like that" I say as Brittany continues kissing me.
"Is it working?" she asks.
"Yeah, it definitely is" I admit. After a few minutes, I reluctantly pull away. "Hold on" I say breathlessly.
"Are you ok?" Brittany asks concerned.
"Yeah, I just think this should be about you too. It's been about me a lot recently so I want to repay the favor" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles as she leans in and kisses my lips this time.

*Wednesday 16th July 2025*
We're all having a relaxing day on vacation today by hanging out at the villa by the pool and sunbathing. I'm just lying under the sun talking to some of my friends while Brittany is with the kids. Mercedes and I are in mid-conversation when I hear some commotion coming from my family. I look over and Brittany is chasing after Jaxon when she suddenly trips on one of the toys and slips, causing her to fall into the pool fully clothed.
"Jaxon!" Brittany shouts as she jumps up in the water and spits out a mouthful of water.
"It's ok, I have him" Quinn says as she scoops him up in her arms stopping him from running away further.
"Brittany, are you ok?" Tina asks in concern.
"Fine" Brittany says angrily as she leaves the pool soaking wet.
"Did you hurt yourself?" Mercedes asks as she and I walk towards Brittany.
"Just my pride" Brittany states as she wrings out her clothes and hair.
"Looking good there, sweet cheeks" I smirk at my wife.
"Don't. Just don't" Brittany growls at me.
"Not in the mood to be teased, I'm guessing?" I nod.
"Oh, what gave it away" Brittany says sarcastically.
"Alright, no need to get so testy" I tell my wife.
"A bit of support from you would have been good" Brittany states annoyed.
"I didn't know why you were chasing Jaxon; I thought it was a game you two were playing" I shrug.
"Really? I usually have a stern tone with my son when we're playing a game?" she asks me.
"What happened, why were you chasing him?" I ask.
"Because he was not doing as I asked. He wanted to go in the pool but he didn't have any sunblock on or his water wings on. I told him he couldn't be in the pool until he was ready to go in but he didn't want to listen and was running towards the water" Brittany explains.
"I see" I nod.
"I could have done with some help from you when he was running towards the water since he can't swim but you were too busy sunbathing" she says.
"You are honestly in one foul mood today" I chuckle.
"I'm glad one of us is amused" Brittany glares at me.

We've all not long finished dinner. Mercedes, Sam, Tina and Mike have taken all of the kids to a park nearby so Brittany, Quinn, James and myself are all still at the villa. Brittany was quiet the whole time during dinner and then excused herself once we were finished to go for a lie down. There is something odd going on with her today so I'm going to our bedroom to see her and talk to her to see what's wrong.
"Hi" I say as I walk into the room.
"If you have any more wisecracks then don't bother, I don't want to hear them" Brittany says seriously.
"I promise no smart remarks from me" I say.
"Good" Brittany nods.
"I do want to talk to you though" I point out.
"Ok" Brittany shrugs.
"What is going on with you today?" I ask concerned.
"Nothing" Brittany shrugs again.
"Come on, we're both smart enough to know something is going on" I state.
"Nothing is going on" Brittany shrugs.
"You've been quiet all day and you're not your usual cheerful self. I mean you even left dinner early when you usually like hanging out with everyone" I say.
"I just wanted to be on my own for a minute, it's no big deal" Brittany replies.
"It is a big deal when it's not like you. Honey what's going on with you?" I ask.
"I said it was nothing so it's nothing, just leave it" Brittany sighs.
"I'm not leaving it because this isn't like you" I state.
"So, you keep saying" she replies.
"Seriously, what's wrong?" I say while rolling my eyes. I know there is something so I don't know why she's not telling me what it is.
"Look, I ain't got time for this shit Santana" Brittany says shaking her head.
"Fine" I state throwing my arms in the air.
"Fine" Brittany repeats.
"I will leave you to your own company now because I don't want to be in it when you're like this" I say. "I'm going downstairs" I say before abruptly leaving the room. The minute I get downstairs; I go straight to the kitchen where Quinn is.
"Wine?" Quinn asks me.
"Yeah" I state as I take the bottle from her and take a drink.
"Uh…I was going to pour you a glass but sure, take the bottle" Quinn says surprised.
"Is it me, have I done something today that I don't realise I've done?" I ask.
"You're going to have to catch me up because I don't know what you're talking about" Quinn says looking at me confused.
"Brittany. She's been weird all day and I don't get it" I say.
"Yeah, she has been a bit out of sorts today" Quinn points out.
"She won't tell me what's wrong" I say frustrated.
"Maybe you don't need to talk, maybe she just needs you to be there for her" Quinn suggests.
"Do you think?" I ask.
"Yeah, I do. She might not want to talk but she'll want to know you're on her side no matter what is wrong" Quinn says.
"I'll go back upstairs and see her" I say.
"Ok" Quinn nods and then I leave, making my way back to my bedroom.
"Hey" Brittany says as I walk into the room.
"Hi" I reply softly.
"I know we should clear things up but I don't feel like talking right now" Brittany says.
"I'm not here to talk" I say as I crawl onto the bed.
"Ok, so why are you here because it's still early so I didn't think you'd want to go to sleep quite yet" Brittany replies.
"I'm here just to be with you" I smile as I wrap my arms around my wife and just hold her tightly. We lie silently together for a few minutes as I continue holding my wife.
"Santana, what are you doing?" Brittany asks.
"Hmm?" I mumble.
"I feel like you're trying to make a move on me" Brittany says.
"Maybe I am" I smirk as my hands slowly move down her body.
"Sex is not the answer here" she states seriously.
"Well, I am all out then because I don't know what the answer is" I sigh.
"Neither do I" Brittany sighs too.
"Honey, what's going on with you today. You're not acting like yourself" I say softly.
"I don't feel like myself" Brittany states.
"Why not?" I ask curiously.
"I'm just tired and I feel like such a crappy mom" Brittany admits sadly.
"Brittany, you're the best mom ever" I assure her.
"I'm being serious" Brittany states.
"I know and so I am. You are a really good mom" I say honestly.
"I just felt like I was really struggling today to keep the kids in line. Jaxon was a ball of energy for some reason and Xavier was teething again last night so he didn't sleep well and neither did I so we're both tired and grumpy. Then I felt bad because I barely spent any time with Olivia all day because I was trying to handle the boys" Brittany says.
"Parenting is all about ups and downs babe so don't be so hard on yourself. Some days will be not as good as others but it doesn't mean you're a crappy mom" I assure her.
"Ok" she nods.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you struggling today because if I did, I would have helped more. You should have just told me to get my ass into gear and help out more. You know what I'm like; I'm too wrapped up in myself sometimes" I say.
"No, you deserve to enjoy this vacation after everything recently. You've spent most of the last few years pregnant so I want you to let your hair down and have fun" Brittany says.
"I appreciate that but I don't want to do that if it means you're struggling. Just tell me when I'm not pulling my weight and I'll be better" I say honestly.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"Do you feel any better now?" I ask.
"Yeah, I do. Thank you" Brittany says as she leans in and hugs me.

*Friday 18th July 2025*
We're all in the villa right now, planning how we should spend the day. We've all had breakfast and had some time to hang out while we digested our food so it's now time to make some plans for the day.
"There's lots of sports facilities nearby where the kids could play or some of us could go to the gym" Sam suggests.
"Santana and I can't go to the gym together anymore" Brittany points out.
"Why not?" Quinn frowns in confusion.
"Because if I see Brittany in tight clothing working up a sweat then I'll just want to jump her bones and not be able to concentrate on working out" I explain.
"Very funny" Quinn says rolling her eyes at us.
"I know you think we're joking but we're not" Brittany shakes her head.
"Yeah, it's 100% the truth" I nod.
"We wouldn't all be able to go to the gym anyway because some of us need to look after the kids. I mean I'm not really a gym person anyway so I'll do something with the kids" Mercedes says.
"Yeah, the gym isn't really on my to do list today so I'll hang out with Mercedes and the children" Tina says.
"I'll stay with the kids too so you can go to the gym Santana" Brittany says.
"Just so no one is mistaken, it's not out of kindness Brittany is letting me go instead of her, it's because she thinks I need to lose some weight. I'm not attractive enough for her at the moment" I explain.
"Yeah, that's right" Brittany says sarcastically as she rolls her eyes. "That totally sounds like me" she adds.
"Yeah, I'm just kidding" I laugh. "Anyway, who else is up for the gym because no offence but Sam and I aren't going alone. I don't want people to mistake us for a couple" I say.
"We're all happily married here so what difference would it make to anyone because it's not like any of us would be suspicious" Brittany laughs.
"I just don't want people at the gym to think we're together" I shrug.
"Believe me they'll know we're not together because I'll be using whichever gym equipment is the furthest away from you" Sam states. "I get the feeling you'd probably embarrass me there anyway."
"How would I embarrass you?" I ask.
"I'm sure you could probably find a reason to start a fight with someone there. You have a unique way of handling things and rules don't always apply to you" Sam laughs.
"Whatever" I say rolling my eyes.
"Ok, let's get back on track. What is everyone else doing today?" Brittany asks.
"I feel like working out so I'll go to the gym" Mike states.
"Quinn and James, what are your plans?" I ask.
"We can look after Lucy if you both want to go to the gym" Brittany offers.
"Are you sure?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah, of course" Brittany smiles.
"Ok, that's what we'll do" Quinn nods.
