Chapter 14
Santana had a scowl on her face as she waited in line to buy tickets to the ferry that will take them to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Of course she was tasked to get the tickets while her mother and sister took pictures around Battery Park. Brittany on the other hand was currently looking at the freaking squirrels in the park. When Santana said that they were a close relative of the rat Brittany just pouted and she just sighed and proceeded to stand in line. It was a good thing that it was a weekday and there are less tourists waiting in line. She let her thoughts wander to the events earlier. She knew Brittany was nervous about meeting her mother and sister which is why she decided to give Mikaela her gift for Christmas to provide a little distraction. She could tell her Mom liked Brittany and now all that's left to do is to actually date the girl.
Brittany bought 4 bottled waters and walked towards Santana, she noticed the scowl on Santana's face and she smiled to herself. There's something about a grumpy Santana that is both adorable and hot, with her forehead all scrunched up and her lips extra pouty that makes Brittany want to kiss every line and nibble on those lips until her dimples show and then she'll kiss those too.
"Hey." Brittany said handing Santana a bottle of water
"Thanks." Santana said giving Brittany a grateful smile.
"So how's the rats?" Santana asked with a teasing tone on her voice after taking a gulp of water.
Brittany scrunched up her nose and said "They're not rats San and I love Chip and Dale."
Santana laughed and said "Whatever Britt, they're still rats."
Before Brittany can respond they were joined Maria and Mikaela who started showing Santana the pictures she took. Maria smiled at Brittany and linked her arms to the girl.
"So how did you like the New York City Ballet?" Maria asked
"it was wonderful Maria. Santana told me that I have you to thank for the tickets." Brittany answered giving the older woman a huge smile.
"It was nothing and just send me a message in Facebook if you want anymore shows, I'd be glad to call in a favor anytime to my friend and you can drag Santana along with you, God knows my daughter, your girlfriend, needs a little more culture." Maria said clearly teasing her middle child.
"Mom! I resent that! I am cultured! Tell her Britt I had fun at the ballet!" Santana said scowling at her mother.
"Oh wow real mature Santana, asking your girlfriend to defend you to Mom." Mikaela said joining in which earned her a glare from her older sister.
"Could have fooled me with that smart mouth of yours honey." Maria said jokingly at her daughter and proceeded to kiss her forehead.
After going through the security check, the 4 women made their way to the ferry and of course Santana's mother insisted that they stay on the top deck of the ferry even though the wind was freezing. Her sister has finally stopped taking pictures to preserve the battery for Liberty and Ellis Island trip. Santana smirked in satisfaction when she saw her Mom and sister huddled together trying to get warm against the chilly New York air. Ha! That's what they get for dragging her to this trip Santana thought to herself. She then looked around to look for Brittany and saw her leaning on the rails furiously rubbing her palms together to keep warm. She smiled at the sight and made her way towards Brittany.
Without thinking about it she tugged at Brittany's thin sweater and before the blonde can react Santana took her cold hands in between her own and rubbed them gently trying to transfer some warmth. The contact caused a warm fuzzy feeling to spread all over Brittany's body. She grinned at Santana and with her teeth still chattering managed to utter "Th-Thanks."
