Chapter 13
Santana was thinking of ways to castrate Jerry without getting indicted, she even tried googling ways to torture your enemy and delighted herself with thoughts of Jerry tied to a barrel full of TNT. The dick dumped work on her that would last until the next millennium probably because her project got the praise of the powers that be while his project was already delayed and getting negative attention from everyone. His ego took a beating when their bosses decided that Santana will help Jerry get the project back on track. The asshole dumped everything on her and went home at 5. On top of that she has a meeting at 10 pm later with their offshore office. She knew she was cutting it close but she needs to leave in 10 minutes if she has any hope of making it to Brittany's Broadway debut. She looked at the clock and started shoving things in her bag. She has exactly 30 minutes before curtain call and then she has to go back to the office immediately after the show to take the conference call.
She was on her way to the subway when she saw a flower shop along the way. She knew she wouldn't be able to wait for Brittany after the show since she has to go back to her office so she bought a bouquet of flowers for Brittany. She doesn't really care for flowers so she settled for lilies since they don't make her cringe like roses.
On the subway ride Santana let her thoughts wander to the events last Saturday night editing out the Jackie parts of course. She instead focused on the how beautiful Brittany is that night and that kiss.
The kiss that made all coherent thoughts fly out of Santana's brain. When she kissed Brittany her motives were part jealousy at hearing Jackie make a play for Brittany and part wanting to kiss her period. When she asked Brittany if they were on a date she was absolutely mortified at what came out of her mouth. She has been convincing herself that it wasn't a date and then she goes and blurts it out. It was crazy feeling this way after a long time, she felt vulnerable, awkward and unsure, she felt like a fucking sixteen year old. It didn't help that after their non date she found out that one of her pillows still has that lingering strawberry scent of Brittany, needless to say she spent the better part of her night with her head buried on the said pillow. Then like the ass that she was, she spent her whole Sunday holed up in bed, staring (again) at Miss Waddles, Santana's secret name for the stuffed duck that Brittany gave her replaying the kiss over and over in her head instead of actually thinking of a plan on where to take Brittany once she actually asks her out.
She met with Quinn and Rachel outside the theater. Quinn looked at the flowers in Santana's hand and was about to say something when Rachel beat her to it.
"How sweet of you Santana, I must say that Broadway performers are always thrilled when they get flowers ." Rachel said to Santana who looks uncomfortable knowing that both Quinn and Rachel knew who the flowers are for.
Santana mentally counted how many times she has called Rachel names this month and knew that if she spewed out another one Quinn will make her clean the apartment for a month so she just settled for "Shut it Berry, let's go inside it's cold."
Once they were settled in the theater Santana turned to the two girls who are now snuggling with each other and said "Look I have to get back to the office after, I probably won't be able to hang around to wait for her so can you do me a favor and give these flowers to her."
Rachel looked absolutely giddy at the romantic gesture while Quinn had this huge grin on her face and Santana just rolled her eyes at the two of them. Thankfully the show started and Santana couldn't care less with the story, she was too busy looking at Brittany. Seeing Brittany dance was like a religious experience, clearly she was meant to dance judging by the way she moves on stage. She made a mental note to drop by her studio sometime to see her dance. The 3 girls all joined the standing ovation when the show was over. Glancing at her watch Santana cursed to herself and knew she needs to haul ass back to her office.
