One Day
-One Year Later-
Brittany felt arms wrap protectively around her waist from behind her. "Isn't it beautiful?" a soft voice asked her. Brittany sighed a she let herself melt into Santana's arms. She looked out over the ocean at the sunset across from them. It was really beautiful.
"Yes," Brittany answered. She moved her hands down to where Santana's locked around her. She gently took Santana's hands from her stomach and turned around to face the girl, their fingers intertwined. "But you're more beautiful than any sunset."
Santana's cheeks flushed a bright red. Brittany could give Santana a billion compliments and the girl would always blush just as red every time. Brittany beamed at her girlfriend, and leaned in to kiss her. The two of them locked lips for a moment before Santana pulled away. Santana gave Brittany a reassuring smile as she unwrapped the towel from her body, revealing her bikini.
Brittany had seen Santana in her bikini not an hour earlier, but her breath caught seeing her exposed girlfriend. Santana smiled again. "Come swim with me, baby." Brittany let her towel fall into the sand as Santana led her to the ocean. As they made their way into the water, Brittany was glad to find that it was warm enough to bare.
The two girls sat down a few feet into the water. Santana looked a little nervous about something. Brittany took her girlfriend's hand. "What's wrong, babe?" Santana turned and locked eyes with her girlfriend. Brittany's blue eyes met Santana's brown eyes and she tried to figure out what was wrong.
"N-nothing's wrong," Santana stuttered. Brittany squeezed the hand that was entangled with hers. "I promise, Britt, nothing's wrong. It's just the opposite, actually... I... I love you so much and I just..."
Brittany tilted her head slightly. "Santana?" Santana, clutching Brittany's hand, stood up. Brittany stood up too, not really understanding, and followed Santana back out of the water and up to where their stuff was. She reached into her bag to retrieve a small object, but Brittany didn't get to see what it was.
"Brittany," Santana started, "I love you more than I've ever loved anything ever. I... you love me that much, too, right?"
"I love you more than I've loved anything else in this world," Brittany promised.
"O-okay, good," Santana muttered. She rose her voice. "You know I'm not good at talking about feelings, Britt, but I'm going to try for you, just like I've always tried. I love you so much, and I... I promised that you would always be my girlfriend, remember?"
"S-Santana...?" Brittany asked, confused.
"Brittany, I promised that, but I didn't know what it meant. I don't want to be your girlfriend forever," Santana told her. Brittany felt like she was going to die. And then, the words she'd dreamt of hearing forever came out of Santana's mouth. "I want to be more than that. I want you to be more than that to me. I... I want you to be... be my wife."
Santana dropped herself onto one knee, revealing a silver ring with a diamond on it, and Brittany didn't think that she would be able to breathe. The Latina looked up at the blonde and smiled easily. "E-Brittany... Will you... I mean... do me... err..."
Brittany couldn't help but smile.
"Marry me?" Santana finally just asked. Brittany didn't hesitate.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Brittany exclaimed. "I will! I will!"
Brittany eagerly extended her hand, and a beaming Santana slipped the engagement ring onto Brittany's ring finger. Then, standing, Santana grabbed her fiancé in a hug. Nothing desperate, just a soft, loving hug. Three simple words were exchanged. "I love you."
Those three words, exchanged so honestly, so many times, exchanged through rings and kisses and hugs and words, were truly the best exchanges that could ever be exchanged.
The end. (: Please review. Love you guys.
