A/N: I write in first person, will switch POV's periodically. More than likely I'll switch POV's every other chapter, but occasionally you will see both Dani and Santana POV in a single chapter. I will post the first chapter or two and then update every Thursday.
Please review, favorite, and follow!

Chapter One
Santana POV
I was so glad that my work day was almost said and done. I'd been working myself a little too hard lately but it kept me busy at least. Besides Rachel and Kurt were starting to drive me a little insane. There was one good thing going for me right now though, I had met a wonderful girl; Dani. She had started as the new girl and I had taken an immediate liking to her. I still relived that first day we worked together and talked. Her kissing me goodbye had been the highlight of my day and I still remembered the feeling of her lips on mine. I felt my face grow hot with blush as I thought about that kiss. I felt eyes on me and turned my head to see Dani was staring at me causing me to blush even more. I quickly looked back to the counter I was wiping down.
"You know I think you've wiped that same spot about twenty times." Dani's voice came right by my ear making me jump.
"Have I?" I questioned trying to play it off that I hadn't realized it.
Dani put her hand on top of mine. "Stop."
Every time she was in close proximity to me I couldn't help but blush. Then there were the times where contact was made and I had to try to calm myself down. I had a hard time concentrating when she was around.
I moved my hand and walked along the counter wiping more of it down. "I can't stop. I'm almost done."
Dani walked away and finished wiping down the counter. As soon as I was done wiping down the counters I was free. I hurried along now because I just wanted to get out of here and I knew Dani was off at the same time as me. I finally finished and quickly punched myself out. Dani punched out right after me and followed me out the door.
"Hey, are you okay?" Dani asked from behind me.
"Yea, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I retorted turning to face her.
The curvy blonde stared back at me. "You were just acting strange."
I couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. "It's hard to concentrate when you're constantly staring at me."
"I don't stare!" Dani retorted with a smile.
I took a step closer to Dani. "And then I keep thinking about that kiss the other day."
Dani's cheeks began to redden in just the slightest way. "Oh yea?" Dani raised her eyebrows at me with a smile.
"Could you remind me again how that went?" I asked only vaguely aware of the fact that we were still standing right outside of our work.
"Here? Now?" Dani clarified looking at me.
I swallowed hard and nodded my head because I really didn't care where we were. I just wanted to feel her lips on mine again. Dani closed the gap between us and her lips were on mine for the second time since we'd known each other. I immediately kissed back letting my eyes close and feeling my heartbeat pick up. The kiss was over almost as soon as it had begun and I was slightly disappointed, we would have to work on it.
"Yea, that was about right." I exclaimed as I came out of my revere. "Do you wanna come over to my place? I could use someone else besides Kurt and Rachel to hang out with."
Dani smiled. "I'd love to but I don't have a change of clothes with me."
"Trying to impress me?" I asked giving her another smile.
Dani let out a little chuckle. "I just wanna get out of this work drab."
"Naw, you look beautiful in it." I found myself saying.
Dani's cheeks grew red again and she smiled widely. "My place is only a few blocks away."
"Alright." I finally agreed. "Lead the way."
We walked together down the street to Dani's place talking the whole time. I couldn't help but smile and was relieved to know that she was going to come keep me company. I wasn't even sure if Rachel or Kurt would be around but even so it could get lonely. It didn't take us long to get to Dani's and I waited outside for her. She came back out about ten minutes later dressed in a pair of tight fitting blue jeans and a white v-necked tank top with a guitar swung over her shoulders. I smiled at her taking in how beautiful she was.
"Now who's staring?" Dani asked breaking me out of my trance.
I couldn't help but blush just a little bit after being caught. "Can you blame me?"
Dani chuckled. "I'm not sure why you think I'm so beautiful."
I shook my head. "Oh please!" I took a step towards her. "You are gorgeous Dani."
"If you say so." Dani replied smiling at me.
I realized then how close I had gotten to her and for some reason backed off. I didn't know what it was about this girl but I always wanted to be near her. "Well shall we?"
"I'm following you this time." Dani answered giving me a smile.
Together we made our way back to my place. I couldn't help but admire the way she poised herself and was looking forward to hearing her play that guitar.
"Why'd you bring your guitar with?" I asked turning my head to look at her.
Dani shrugged. "I dunno, I guess I thought we could have a little fun with it."
"What do you have in mind?" I asked looking straight ahead again.
"Something simple and cheery." Dani answered giggling.
We came up outside of my place and made our way up to the apartment. I pulled open the door and was grateful when I realized that neither Rachel or Kurt were home.
I turned to face Dani. "Make yourself at home, I'm going to go change quick."
Dani smiled and I watched her plop down on the couch pulling her guitar in her lap. I walked into my room and quickly changed pulling on a dark blue and black striped short dress. I walked into the bathroom and ran a brush through my hair before coming back out to where Dani was sitting. Her eyes traveled the length of my body and I couldn't help but start to blush a little.
"So this is your abode?" Dani asked looking around.
"Pretty much." I answered walking over to the couch and sitting down next to her.
Dani started to strum some chords on her guitar and I just sat there watching her. She continued to mess around for a bit before she started to play a familiar tune. I couldn't help but start to sing along to the familiar song.
Ah, now I don't hardly know her
But I think I can love her
Crimson and clover
After I sang the first part of the song Dani started in on the next part of the song. I was so enthralled by her and her voice was amazing. I never took my eyes off her hands as she strummed away on the guitar. Ah, now when she comes walkin' over
Now I've been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over
Dani was watching me almost as closely as I was her. She had to look down a few times to make sure she was playing the right chords but that was about it. After she sang the second part we continued the song together. Yeah, if I'm not such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feelin'
Crimson and clover
Over and over
I was amazed at how much our voices meshed together in a perfect harmony. We got to the end of the song and took turns singing 'Crimson and clover, over and over.' Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
We finished the song and I looked over at Dani. She played the last few chords as I leaned over and pressed my lips to hers. I didn't want this to be a quick kiss like the first too I wanted to feel more than that. After a minute I pulled away and smiled at her.
"I think we should do this more often." I exclaimed as my thoughts came back to my mind. I didn't know what it was but whenever we kissed everything just left me.
"Singing?" Dani asked before leaning over to kiss me . "Or that?"
I giggled. "Both."
Dani pulled her guitar off her body and set it against the couch. We both leaned in at the same time for another kiss and our hands found one anothers. This time we got a little more into it but were broken from our revere when the door slid open. Both of us jumped back as Rachel walked into the loft.
