Not So Little Secrets

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Something Old, Something New... Questions & Games Pt. 3

Two Days Later...

Brittany's POV:

FINALLY!!!!!! Those were the longest two days of my life... I can't even begin to explain how happy I am that they're finally over.

The last two days have been absolute hell and have taken a lifetime to pass. I mean, who the hell knew it would take fifty fucking years to get through 48 hours.

It definitely doesn't help when you feel guilty as shit through out all of it.

Seeing Santana lounge around the house with a guilty look of her own, especially while knowing what SHE thinks that I THINK... It only makes everything hurt alot more.

But luckily... Today is the day.

Today is the day that I get to see that frown turn upside down...

Stop Britt, that was super corny... 'Frown upside down', really.

Anywaaaayy....

The point is... I can finally stop making Santana cry herself to sleep each night.

So today I'm going to propose to Santana... It's not gonna be anything extravagant, just her, myself, my question and her answer.

Back in highschool when Santana and I were together... She mentioned not really wanting a crazy proposal. Her exact words were...

'I just want something simple, but meaningful to the relationship that I have with that person... But I would definitely want a huge ass wedding.'

So here I am... Making my way to her studio and I'm just gonna sit there and hope that she shows up.

Her studio is where she usually goes when she wants to clear her head. So hopefully she shows up.

So until then... That's where I'll be.

Santana's POV:

Over the past couple of days, I've stopped trying to get Britt to speak to me. I figure if she's upset then I'm just gonna have to wait it out.

I've said what I had to say, I've apologized, I've explained my reasons... And none of it works. So the only thing left to do is to just give her time and hope she comes around sooner or later.

Preferably sooner, as this whole situation is getting on my nerves.

As I walk Bryce to his classroom, with a yank of my hand he stops me from opening his class door.

Moving us to the side, we sit on the bench in the hallway...

"What's wrong mijo?"

"It's just..." He says as he hangs his head.

"You just what mijo... Is someone in your class bothering you?"

"No..." He paused before looking up at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen.

"Is there something wrong with you and mama?" He asked as tears well up in his eyes.

Talk about a heart clenching moment.

I can't really tell him the truth about what's going on between Britt and I. The only thing left to do is to kind of lie... And I can tell him the good news.

"No mijo... Why do you think that?"

"You and mama looking really sad?" He said as his tears fall.

"Come here mijo..." I say as I pull him close to me wrapping my arm around his arm.

"Mama and I are perfectly fine, we are really happy... When mama is with you she's smiling right?" I say as he nods.
