A/N: sorry about the problems with the this chapter, its all fixed now though :)
Chapter 10
It was Sunday evening and Brittany and Santana were sat in some kind of burger restaurant and had both just received their food. Brittany had a classic cheeseburger with a salad and diet coke, and Santana went for a bacon double cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce and a bbq sauce, with onion rings and salad and a water.
"So, what do you think of this new case?" Santana asked
"Really? You want to talk about the case now?"
"Sorry, it was just the first thing that came to my head." Santana apologized taking a bite of her burger.
"It's okay, It's just been a busy week you know"
"Yeah, tell me about it. And now we have some little kids graffiting all our marked cars, it's just so petty." Santana moaned.
"It's not even good though, I wouldn't be as bothered if it was actually good tagging" Brittany told Santana.
"Oh yeah? What would your tag be then?" Santana asked the blonde, who was taking a sip of her drink.
"Erm, I dunno something like an eye, something simple and recognizable, but id put a small twist on it."
"Interesting. You sure it's not you running around with a spray can?" Santana teased her
"How did you guess?" Brittany gasped sarcastically.
"I'm just a natural" Santana winked at her.
Santana and Brittany had both finished their meals and were sat sharing a bottle of wine together at the restaurant.
"So do you have any brothers or sisters?" Santana asked Brittany.
"I have one older sister Heather, she's 26 and two little sisters, Maisy, 15 and Jessica who's 8. What about you?"
"Well that's quite impressive, but I only have a brother Marcus, he's 25, but he has 2 kids Lucas and Lily both 4 years old."
"So you're an auntie then" Brittany observed
"Yep, I spoil them more than I should as well, Marcus doesn't always appreciate it" Santana smiles thinking about her little nephew and niece.
"So my turn, how did you end up getting your mustang?" Brittany leaned on her elbows asking Santana.
"Well an old friend of mine was looking for a new car and he was trying to get the car off his hands, but he couldn't find anyone who lived in the area with that kind of money and nobody would travel to him, so I saw it and instantly fell in love, he let me pay it off in separate bits and then eventually him and my dad paid the rest and called it a Christmas present. You should of heard me scream when I saw it parked on the drive." Santana told her.
"I can imagine, well I can't say my cars to amazing, it was my dad's car before he got his company car."
"But I saw a motorbike helmet when I was at your place?" Santana questioned her.
"Oh yeah" Brittany looked down "It's in a lock up about 5 minutes away from here."
"How come it's locked up?"
"Oh, it had some work done and I've never had anyone to take me to get it"
"Well I've only had one glass of wine, so how about I go and take you?" Santana offered trying to cheer Brittany up a little.
"Okay I've got a helmet in the lockup, let's get the bill and go" Brittany smiled hiding her nerves and fear.
"Okay, but I'm going to be paying, this was my idea." Santana told Brittany.
"But-"
"nope, you can pay next time" Santana said as she got her jacket on and put the money onto the table.
"Just this one on your right" Brittany pointed at the small garage, as santana pulled over next to the entrance.
Brittany went and unlocked the door as Santana followed her into the dark, cold room. Brittany found the light switch and turned it on to reveal a sheet covered motorcycle.
"You gonna show me?" Santana asked excitedly
"Yeah sure" Brittany walked over and slowly pulled the old sheet off her bike.
"Wow!" She said as she looked at the black and red bike "What type is it?"
"It's a Suzuki GSX-R600"
"It's amazing, like really cool." Santana said as she admired the bike in front of her.
"thanks, erm I just need to go and make a call okay." Brittany excused herself as she went outside.
She quickly pulled her phone out when she was on the road and rang Quinn.
"Hey Quinn"
"Hey Britt, what's up?"
"Well I'm kinda stuck"
"stuck? What do you mean?"
"I'm at my bike lockup"
"Wait why? Do you want me to come get you?"
"I'm with Santana, she said she take me to pick my bike up, I can't do it Quinn."
"Just go and speak to Santana, I'm sure she will take you home. You said you wanted to tell her about it, and I think it's best she knows."
"Okay, I'm going to go speak to her now"
"Bye Britt"
Brittany went back into the lock up and saw Santana checking out all the different parts on the bike. "Hey Britt, you okay?"
"Erm not really, I need to tell you something okay?"
"Sure" santana said taking a seat on the small sofa in the corner.
"I can't ride my bike home" Brittany started out.
"Oh does it need gas or still need fixing?"
"No. It's fine, I just can't ride it. Im scared." Brittany told her.
"Scared of what Britt?" Santana asked trying to understand.
"About 3 years ago, just before I joined the team, I was in an accident, on the bike." Brittany told Santana staring into her eyes.
"Britt" Santana whispered out grabbing both her hands, squeezing them, then rubbing them gently.
"Yeah I Broke left leg in 3 places and broke my collarbone and wrist, they thought I was going to be paralyzed." Brittany took a deep breath remembering the accident and sitting in the hospital bed after she woke up. "My back got better with therapy, and my collarbone and wrist naturally healed in time, but my leg, I never felt the same."
"I'm so sorry, if I knew, I wouldn't of brought you here." Santana said looking at the bike and imaging Brittany falling off it.
"You did nothing wrong, I haven't actually been here since it got fixed, but I feel safe with you." Brittany smiled reassuringly at Santana "But my leg, its been a risk ever since, I never thought anything of the small pains I got in it, until I pretty much collapsed on a jog at night, luckily Quinn was with me and took me to the hospital. That was about a year and a half ago, nothing serious has ever happened since then just small things." Brittany said sliding closer to Santana.
"Thank you for telling me Britt, but should you be out in the field running the risk of putting a strain on it, or worse damaging it and not be able to walk or something" Santana rambled on.
"I'll be fine, I get it regularly checked, and I promise you if it ever starts to hurt or become a problem I will tell you straight away" Brittany said pulling up Santana's hands and laying a kiss on them.
"You promise me yeah?" Santana double checks.
"I pinky promise" Brittany said rapping her little finger around santanas tightly.
"Okay" Santana said smiling.
"Uhhhh" Santana moaned as her alarm was blaring out at her.
"Shh" Brittany grumbled as she rolled over on the bed the two were sharing.
It took a second for Santana to register who was in her bed, until she saw the pool of blonde hair facing her.
"We gotta get up for work Britt, and we can stop by yours on the way, get you some clean clothes." Santana said as she played with Brittany's hair.
"Okay, what time is it?"
"5am"
Brittany groaned again, eventually facing Santana as she rubbed her eyes. Santana smiled when she saw Brittanys scrunched up face as she opened her eyes to the light that was beaming in through the open window in Santana's bedroom.
"Well, I wish I could say good morning, but I'm gonna have to go with morning" Santana joked with a very tired Brittany.
"I'll be fine once I've had a shower, and freshened up" Brittany said as she yawned and took a big stretch.
"Okay well you take your time and use my shower if you like, ill quickly jump in the spare one, and then cook us some breakfast." Santana said removing the covers from her and turning her alarm on her phone off and placing it back on the side, she noticed that Brittany's phone was about to die and placed it on charge as Brittany went to get in the shower.
Brittany had just finished in the shower and was starting to towel dry her hair, and her a phone ringing in Santana's bedroom, she went in a could only see one phone, and assumed it was hers. She quickly answered it, not bothering to look at the name as she was about to miss the call entirely.
"Hello?"
"Yo Lopez"
"Lopez?" Brittany asked without thinking.
"Brittany?"
"Shit" Brittany whispered looking at the lock screen and realising the phone wasn't hers, it was Santana's.
"hello, why are you on Santana's phone Brittany?" She could hear Puck asking as she put the phone on loudspeaker, and walked to the kitchen to find Santana.
"Erm, it's, well" Brittany stuttered as Santana looked at her confused.
"Puck" Brittany mouthed to Santana who had finally caught onto what had happened.
"Hey Puck, what do you want?" Santana asked taking the phone from Brittany.
"Well I was about to ask what coffee you wanted, because I was thinking about trying a new shop, but I have better questions now"
"Go"
"Whys Brittany answering your phone, at nearly six in the morning?"
"She got locked out her apartment and the landlord couldn't get her a new set of keys until this morning, so I invited her to stay at mine, is that okay with you or would you rather me make Brittany sleep on the street?" Santana asked him back in a sarcastic tone.
"No of course not, it just took me by surprise, sorry."
"Don't worry, and I'm fine for coffee thanks, think were gonna stop by Starbucks anyway" Santana told him looking over to Brittany who nodded at the idea.
"Okay well, see you at work" Puck said as he put the phone down.
"Right then we best get ready" Santana said as she placed the plates of food on the table.
