Thank you guys so much for the feedback on this chapter! Especially all those who left a review :D And here's chapter two, Happy 2nd of December!
"These please." Said Santana, handing a collection of movies out to the cashier at the ridiculously named 'Come- on- in! Rent- a- motion- picture!'. It was 7am on December 2nd and she'd woken up early to find all the traditional Christmas films that her girlfriend had been missing out on. She handed over the money and took her bag before bracing herself for the cold and stepping outside.
It was -3 degrees Celsius and the wind was icy around the streets as she yawned and quickened her step. She was never good at waking up early, especially not in the cold, and so just wanted to get back and cuddle up as quickly as possible.
"Dani?"She called, opening up the apartment. Kurt and Rachel had already left for college so they had the day all to themselves. The other girl padded out of their bedroom in bare feet, a pair of pyjama shorts and a too big Rolling Stones shirt. "God! Look at you, you must be freezing!" Santana exclaimed. "Why are you wearing shorts?!"
Dani rubbed her eyes and smiled before replying.
"Well I was a bit hot in bed but, if you don't want me to wear shorts, I can always go and put some sweatpants on…" She teased, turning and walking back to the bedroom.
Santana, smirking at her girlfriend, followed her and hugged her from behind.
"Oh don't change on my account." She whispered as she kissed Dani's collarbone, causing the shorter girl to smile. "I mean I'm loving the view but I don't want you to get cold. Let's go get the duvet and cuddle on the sofa. I got movies!"
"Sure." Dani agreed, pulling away and taking the black starry duvet off their bed. She loved it when it was just the two of them; there was no distractions and, as much as she loved her new friends, nothing was better than "Dantana time". She smiled as she walked into the living area where Santana had pulled off her coat, revealing the pink pyjamas decorated with yellow ducks she'd kept on underneath, and was inserting the first film into their player.
Dani couldn't quite explain it but there was something about Santana, something that made her feel fuzzy inside. With just a few words, she made her feel like the most beautiful girl in the world; a few months ago she wouldn't let herself see herself in shorts, let alone anyone else. She was insecure and in a bad place but when she was with Santana, she just felt so much better. She climbed onto the couch and curled up before pulling the blanket on top of her and motioning for her girlfriend to join her.
A few minutes later, they were settled: Dani resting her head on Santana's shoulder and Santana resting hers on top of Dani's, both of them wearing delighted smiles that they were trying so hard to hide. It wasn't long before the opening music started for "Elf" and the film had begun. About ten minutes in, Dani turned to Santana.
"Wait, so why is Will Ferrell in the North Pole?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Because he climbed into Santa's sack when he was a baby." Santana explained with unusual patience. "Haven't you been watching?"
"I was." Dani argued. "But then I caught sight of that picture of you on top of the TV wearing that gorgeous cheerleading outfit and I got a bit distracted…
Santana chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Oh yeah excuses, excuses. Back to the movie." She replied, biting back a smile at their flirting. "Save the flattery for later."
After a few hours, the loved up pair had gotten through "Elf", "It's A Wonderful Life" and the first "Home Alone". They were watching the sequel, and clearly enjoying it, when Santana shifted her position. She lay down on the sofa and Dani quickly took advantage of this and lay down in front of her, without averting her eyes from the screen. Santana, pleased at how riveted Dani was, started braiding the girl's blue hair and stroking it gently before moving it out of the way and planting a kiss on her neck.
Dani's newfound love for this film was evident; when Kevin started throwing the bricks off the building her infectious laughter filled the room and it was impossible for Santana not to join in. This happened whenever something even mildly amusing happened and Santana was proud at having come up with the idea of a Christmas movie marathon because after all, what better way to spend time with the one you love during Winter?!
When the film ended, Dani flipped herself over so she was looking her girlfriend in the eyes and she smiled at her.
"That one's been my favourite so far, and we have to go see that Christmas tree, please San!" She pleaded with hopeful eyes.
Santana, weakened by the puppy dog look and her secret desire to see the tree too, nodded.
"Okay, why not?" she said, hauling herself up. "I'll just get us some drinks and put the next movie on now though; it's too late to go see it today."
"Yay!" Dani clapped, watching her girlfriend get up. "Can't wait!"
Santana had just made them both coffee and put "Christmas Cupid" into their DVD player when Rachel entered, shivering.
"Hey guys!" She greeted. "Kurt's just downstairs swapping fashion tips with some intern at a modelling agency so I thought I'd better come in to get out of the cold. Have you two had a good day?"
Santana sat up and took a sip of coffee before answering her friend.
"We have actually, but Dani here was a Home Alone virgin just a few hours ago, weren't you babe?" Dani giggled at the term and turned to the newcomer.
"I was yes, but Santana helped me pop that cherry, just like the other one a few weeks ago." She grinned and turned back to her girlfriend who let out a laugh and kissed her cheek.
"And I enjoyed helping you with this first time almost as much as that time!" She murmured.
"Ew guys!" exclaimed Rachel, unbuttoning her coat and walking to the kitchen. "Too much information."
"Still not as bad as your gigolo walking around naked for weeks, Berry." Santana shouted over her shoulder, still keeping her eyes locked with Dani's. "And at least my girlfriend's actually hot. More than you can say for him."
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed it :D Please leave feedback :) And is anyone else really annoyed that Dani didn't get a puppet?! I know I am :') Sorry this chapter isn't very long! Tomorrow's will be but I've been off school with the flu so I have to go do some catching up :L
