A New Life

39.

(Brittanys POV)

"Good morning" Santana takes her time coming down the stairs, she looks exhausted. I am not surprised though after last night. She's still got her post sex hair in tact and she just simply looks gorgeous. "Hi" she says, her voice raspy, clearly not long woke up. "Coffee?" I ask, getting her mug ready as I already know her answer. "Coffee would be great." she says, placing herself on a barstool, her face wincing slightly, guessing she is a little sore? I pour her coffee and slide it across to her, she takes a thankful gulp. I lean forward just looking at her, appreciating her. "Hi" I say quietly, smiling lovingly into her eyes. "Hi" she says again, a small smile reaching her lips. 

"So...last night" I say, drawing circles on the countertop with the tip of my index finger. "Last night" she says through a large exhale. We are in our own little bubble, staring at one another, exchanging the odd smirk. "Shall we talk about it? What it means?" I suggest, trying to get the ball rolling. "Sure, I umm, I don't really know what to say, or how to feel." Santana admits. "Well did you enjoy it?" I ask her. "What do you think?" she says, giving me a devilish smirk. "I thought so." I smirk back. "So what does this mean?" I challenge. "Honestly? I don't know." Santana shrugs. "I do love Grace." that is no surprise, but it still made my heart sink a little.

"How about we do dinner? Can talk about it then? I should probably get back before Jax wakes up and you have work." I say. "Dinner sounds good." Santana agrees almost instantly. "Great, let's say tonight? 7:00pm?" I add. "7pm" she affirms with a nod. I walk around and land a gentle kiss just off her mouth, both of us lingering there for a few moments more than we should, before I pull away and leave. 

(Santana's POV)

"Earth to Santana..."

"Hey sorry, I am here!"

"Really because I have been talking to you for half an hour about limb reconstruction to help you with your presentation and you have looked away with the fairies for most of that."

"Sorry Arizona, I am listening I swear."

"Tell me what two elements I said were to be fused together to rebuild ligaments?"

"Uh...."

"Exactly! What's going on with you?"

"Nothing."

"Don't get defensive, tell me. I am your best friend."

I sit and think for a moment whether or not I should tell Arizona what happened. I do trust she wouldn't breathe a word, not even to Callie.

"I did something...and I don't know what to think or how to feel about it."

"Go on..."

"I slept with Britt last night."

I watch on screen as Arizona almost spits out her water in shock.

"What!?"

"Last night, she came round, we had some drinks. One thing led to another..."

"Oh my god...I-I.."

"I am a terrible person. I gave Britt this whole speech when she cheated, told her you don't cheat blah blah blah and then I did."

"Where was Grace?"

"She's at a hotel, we aren't exactly on great terms at the moment."

"Oh San...have you guys talked about it?"

"Not really, we are having dinner tonight. I just don't know what I am going to say."

"Do you love Britt?"
