Friday 1st of October

"So we will be back Saturday evening" Maribel told her daughter. Santana's parents were going away to a conference that weekend for work. They were leaving Santana home alone.

"Okay Ma. See you Saturday" Santana said as she said goodbye to her mother.

"Goodbye sweetheart" Raphael said to his daughter.

"Bye Pa" she replied.

Santana hugged her parents and watched them drive away. She then grabbed her phone and called her favourite blonde.

"Hey Britt Britt" she greeted.

"Hi San. What's up?"

"Well my parents have just left for some work thing and won't be back until tomorrow evening. So... do you want to stay over tonight?" Santana asked.

"And sleep there?" Brittany asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, if you want."

"Okay. Sounds good" Brittany answered.

"Perfect!" Santana said with enthusiasm. "How about you come round at 6 tonight"

"6 works. See you then" Brittany said.

"Bye!" Santana said as she hung up the phone.

Santana started cleaning up and preparing for her guest's arrival.

"Hey babe" Santana greeted her blonde as she opened the door. She leant in for a quick kiss before stepping aside and letting her girlfriend into the house.

Brittany took off her shoes and dropped her bag in the hallway. When she made her way into the kitchen and dining area and she was greeted with a familiar smell. She turned and saw the table was set for two with placemats and napkins so it looked fancy. Candle sticks were lit and created a romantic atmosphere.

"What's all this?" Brittany asked as she turned around and smiled at the shorter girl.

"Well I cooked for us and I tried to make it look romantic." Santana stated.

"Aww Sanny! It's perfect!" Brittany walked over and brought Santana in for a kiss.

"So what's on the menu?" The blonde asked.

"Spaghetti Bolognese and Chocolate Mousse for dessert" Santana answered.

"Mmm my favourite" Brittany said with a smile. She licked her lips. Santana really cared for her and wanted to cook her favourite food.

Santana walked over to the stove and served out two portions. She brought them over to the table where Brittany was waiting. She poured them some water and sat down to start eating.

"Thank you for this. It's delicious." Brittany started. "You're a really good cook."

"My mum taught me from a young age. Every weekend we would cook dinner together." Santana told her.

Brittany smiled. She never really enjoyed cooking, she found recipes confusing.

The girls continued to chat over dinner. They spoke about their families and traditions. The chocolate mousse was delicious too. Brittany really enjoyed her dinner. It was her favourite food made by her favourite person.
