Saturday
Santanas POV-
When I woke up the next morning I immediately clutched my head from the pain. "I really need to stop drinking so much," I said to myself as I walked into the kitchen to grab some coffee.
"You know you say that every Saturday and yet you still go out every Friday night," Rachel said shaking her head.
I was about to comment back when I was interrupted by the sounds of someone throwing up in the bathroom. A minute later Kurt came out looking pale and sat at the kitchen table.
"What's wrong with you Lady Lips. Did you finally realize who you were dating?" I replied while flipping through the newspaper.
"No Santana I'm just not feeling very well. I think I have the flu," Kurt said ending with a sneeze.
"Well don't come any closer to me Hummel I don't want to catch your nasty germs," I said moving into the living room and flipping on the TV.
"Can one of you guys cover my shift tonight I can't come into work like this," Kurt said looking at Rachel with a hopeful look.
"Sorry Kurt I have to work until 10 tonight so I can't take your shift," Rachel said putting her dishes in the sink.
"How about you Satan. Have you come across your heart today or is it still MIA," Kurt said turning his attention to the latina.
"Nope still haven't found it," I replied finally settling on a channel.
"Oh come on Santana I need you to cover my shift and I know you don't have any plans seeing as how you aren't working, you don't have a girlfriend, and you never go out on Saturday nights," Kurt said in a pleading voice.
"How do you know I don't have any plans tonight maybe I met someone at Lava last night," I said losing interest in the conversation.
"Because if you did you wouldn't be up right now and there would be another bitch in the kitchen trying to steel my fruit loops," Kurt said becoming more annoyed by the second.
"Alright chill Lady Hummel I'll take your shift but only this once so don't get crazy and ask me for a favor again," I said getting up to get another cup of coffee.
"Oh I would never dream of such a thing. Thanks Santana," Kurt said as he grabbed a box of tissues and began heading towards his bedroom.
"As long as we have an understanding," I yelled sipping my coffee and walking back into the living room."
The rest of the day went by agonizingly slow and was spent watching TV and surfing the web. Eventually 9 o'clock came and I got up to get ready for my shift at the diner. I had only worked the graveyard shift once before and it was during my first week on the job and I had refused to work it again. Much to my dismay I grabbed my stuff and headed out to start my 10pm shift. It was so painfully boring working the graveyard shift and at around 5am I found myself dumping out the saltshakers just so I could refill them again. I was on my third time refilling the saltshakers when I heard the door open and a short blonde came strolling in. I recognized her immediately and my heart started to beat a little faster as the girl sat down at a booth. I grabbed my pen and paper and walked over to the blonde without a second thought.
"Hey, I'm Santana and I'll be your server can I get you anything?" I said trying to hide my nervousness.
"Um that's ok I just came in to sit down," the gorgeous girl replied with a smile.
"Well I can't say that I mind that but I don't know if my manager will appreciate that," I replied with a wink.
"Don't worry Gunther doesn't mind. He knows I come in every once in a while," she replied her smile never wavering.
"Well no offence but why would you want to come into this dump at 5 in the morning just to sit," I asked out of curiosity.
"I used to come in here to get out of the cold and now I just come here to watch the sunrise. I guess it just reminds me of where I've been and where I am now. It's peaceful," she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"What do they not turn the heat up high enough at Lava?" I replied instantly.
"How did you know I work at Lava?" she said tilting her head at me.
"Um I saw you there last night at the bar," I said starting to panic as I couldn't control the blush that was creeping over my face.
"Yeah I just started working there," she admitted.
"Are all the bartenders there lesbians?" I replied immediately regretting it.
"Oh, I'm not a lesbian," she said her smile fading with a serious look replacing it.
"Oh I just. You wear so much eye liner I thought…"
"I'm just kidding I'm totally into lady parts," she said her smile returning. "I'm Dani by the way. So does the Spotlight Diner only hire Sapphic goddesses or did they just make an exception for you?" she asked with a smirk.
"Um no I'm the only goddess here," I said the blush returning.
"Well I don't find that very hard to believe. So have you ever watched the sunrise here?"
"No I don't usually work this shift."
"Well I can see you are swamped with customers," she said motioning to the empty tables around the diner, "but if you want you can watch it with me," she said motioning to the space next to her in the booth.
"Uh yeah sure that sounds good. Let me just go finish some stuff up in the back. I'll be right back," I said unable to hide how nervous I was.
"Okay but don't be too long you don't want to miss it," she said with a wink.
I headed back to the kitchen and went into the employee bathroom. I turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face trying to cool myself down.
"Get yourself together Santana. No girl makes you nervous get your confidence back," I said to myself trying to shake away my nerves. I turned off the faucet and dried my face and headed back out to the booth Dani was sitting at.
"Welcome back. Did you get everything done?" she asked with a beaming smile.
"Yeah everything's all done," I said sitting next to her in the booth.
We sat for a while waiting for the sun to rise with some casual conversation. At 6:30 we got up and left the diner after I grabbed my stuff from the back. We started walking down random streets still in light conversation when I realized that she had stopped walking.
"Well this is my stop. So I guess I'll see you around?" She said with a mixture of disappointment and content.
"Yeah I'll see you around," I said with a smile.
She came in for a hug and then turned around and headed into her apartment complex. I turned around and hailed a Taxi. When we got to my apartment I reached into my jacket pocket to grab some money for the Taxi driver and I pulled out a piece of paper. I handed the driver some money and got out of the car. When I was finally inside of my apartment I opened the piece of paper. On it was a number and a note written by Dani.
I had a great time with you Santana. Call me anytime. ;)
-Dani
I smiled at the note and put the number into my phone. I guess this whole taking Kurt's shift paid off in the end.
"Why are you so happy this early in the morning," Kurt said from the couch still looking just as pale as when I had left earlier.
"No reason. I see you still look like shit," I said making my way to the couch.
"No really? And here I thought I looked good enough for a photo shoot," he replied sarcastically. "But seriously I don't know if you've forgotten but you took my shift so I know you got out at 6 and its…" he paused looking at the clock on the wall, "…7:30 so what did you get into," he asked with a knowing look. "Let me guess you served some sleazy chick and went back to her place to continue your service," He said rolling his eyes. "And to be honest I don't know if I'm disgusted by that or impressed that you didn't take them back to our apartment."
"No Casper I didn't pick up some random chick and stay at their apartment. Well not exactly. I did meet someone but I didn't go inside I just dropped her off at her apartment," I explained my smile returning as I thought about the gorgeous blonde.
"Wow I'm impressed. Has someone finally caught your eye? I have to meet her," he said sounding excited.
"Chill out Snow White I just met her. You know I never thought I would see the day when you were a shade paler than you already are. It's remarkable yet horrifying at the same time," I said getting up from the couch and heading towards my bedroom.
"Love you too Satan. And I will find out who she is eventually whether you like it or not."
"Yeah yeah, whatever you say. I'm going to bed," I said closing the curtain and crashing onto my bed.

Dani's POV-
When I opened the door to my apartment Alex was at the kitchen table reading the paper. She looked up when I came in and dropped the paper. "Where have you been missy, I've been up all night worried about you. Do you have any idea what time it is?" she said with a sarcastic smirk plastered on her face.
"I went to the diner," I replied with a grin on my face, "anyways what are you, my mother?" I said turning my attention to her.
"I might as well be. I did put a roof over your head. So you went to the diner and that's all you did? Nobody smiles that wide for a lousy diner," she said with an expecting look.
"When are you going to let that go. You know, I pay rent now too so you can't hang onto that forever. Anyways if you must know I met someone there and it's not a lousy diner. It's one of my favorite places in New York," I said glaring at her for making fun of one of my favorite places.
"Oh right I forgot that place is like your sanctuary, my bad. So you met a girl? What's her name, where does she live, how old is she, is she hot, and is she the type of person who I might have to kick her ass in the future," she said with a serious look on her face.
"Whoa calm down killer I just met her. Her name is Santana, I don't know where she lives, she's 22, she's gorgeous, and no I don't think you have to worry about her hurting me," I replied being used to this protective side of Alex.
"Well you clearly don't know her well enough to make that call so the next time you see her I'll just have to give her the talk," she said picking up her newspaper again and flipping through the pages. "So did you at least get her number?"
"No I didn't but she has mine," I said ending with a yawn.
"Wow am I really that boring to talk to? I'm sorry I'm not as interesting as this Santina or whatever her name is," she replied acting like I had hurt her feelings.
"Her name is Santana and I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna get a couple hours of sleep before I have to perform at the coffee shop," I said making my way to my bedroom.
"Yeah you do that Hotpants. I'll be here when you get back and we can have a lovely conversation about safe sex and birth control," she said with a light laugh.
"Very funny Alex but I don't think I'm gonna have a problem with that," I said rolling my eyes.
"Right good night lady lover," Alex said as I closed the door and crawled into bed.
