Not So Little Secrets

Chapter Twenty-One: One Big Step After Another

Santana's POV:

Brittany and I have been together for almost seven months now and I've been thinking about bringing up the idea of us getting a place together. She spends most of her time here anyway, so why not just get a place together.

"Mijo, ven aquí." I call Bryson into my room.

Brittany's on her way here from work, so I want to take this time to talk to Bryce about us all living together. I want to see what he thinks of us living together with Brittany before just asking her. I want to make sure he's okay with it, make sure it's something that he wants as well. I expect him to be okay with it based on how they are when they're together. But I still want to be sure and hear his opinion from his mouth.

I sit on the edge of my bed as I hear little footsteps padding across the hallway floor into my room.

"Yes mami?"

"Come sit next to me, I need to ask you something." I say as I pat the spot next to me.

"Am I in trouble?" He asked as he hopped up on my bed.

"No mijo. I just... Do you like having mama around a lot?"

"Yes. I love her being here all the time, we always have fun, and she bring me places and buy me stuff and watch cartoons with me and play games with me and we play fight and we-

"Okay mijo, slow down, slow down." I say laughing as I cut off his never ending sentence.

"So you like mama being here all the time?" I ask again as he nods.

"Okay, so what do you think about you, me and mama living together. Is that something you would like?"

"That mean she would be with us everyday?" He ask as his blue eyes become big blue eyes.

"Yup."

"YES! I LOVE IT." He says as he jumps on my bed.

"Okay buddy, get down." I say smiling at him.

"So when does mama move in with us." He ask as he plants his feet back on the floor.

"Well.... I have to ask her first mijo." I sigh as I follow him out of my room.

Brittany can be a bit unpredictable at times. That fact alone is what's making me nervous about asking her. From my stand point, things have been going great between us... But I just don't know.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Brittany got home I needed more time to build up the courage to ask her about us living together, so I told Bryce if he didn't say anything about it I would buy him the PS4 he's been asking me about.

After laying around with Brittany for about an hour, I had to head out to my meeting with Holly and Paul Anderson.

"Okay babe, I gotta go." I say placing a quick kiss on her lips before getting up off the couch.

"Where you going?"

"I gotta meet Holly and Quinn at the Interscope Headquarters for our meeting with Paul Anderson." I say as I head into Bryce room

"See you later Mijo, I love you." As I place a kiss on his cheek.

"Later mami, love you too." He says giving me a hug as I start to leave his room.

"Mami, don't forget my PS4" He says as he looks at me.

"Okay but.." I put my finger to my lips to signal him not to say anything as I walk back into the living room.
