Santana's POV:
I had about an hour left in my shift at the diner and all I could think about was my girlfriend. I hadn't really seen much of her for the past two weeks because she was either working or recording her music at home for the label. We talked a little on the phone, but I really missed seeing her in person everyday and I was just hoping that this crazy schedule of hers would lighten up soon. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and since the diner was unusually quiet, I took it out to see that I had a text from Dani.
From Dani: Hey babe I finally finished recording my music! And I know we had dinner plans tomorrow, but Ryan wants me to come in so we can possibly start recording. Is that okay?
I sighed at the text because the one day I was actually looking forward to this week was now cancelled.
To Dani: That's ok. But I miss you, I haven't seen you in forever :(
From Dani: I know baby, I'm sorry and I miss you too. I promise I'll make it up to you. ;)
To Dani: You promise?
From Dani: Yes babe I promise. But I have to go. I'm walking into the label now. I love you. See you soon! XOXO
I sighed knowing that "see you soon" probably meant days and went back to work. When I got back to my apartment, I immediately flopped down onto the couch.
"Hey San, I'm surprised you aren't with Dani. Speaking of which I haven't seen her in a while, is everything okay between you two?" Rachel asked sitting next to me on the couch.
"Yeah we're okay," I sighed before sitting up from the couch to give the brunette some more space.
"Okay?" she asked with a questioning look.
"I mean yes as far as feelings and everything we are good. We aren't fighting or anything but I haven't seen her in like two weeks, which for us is like two months. And I feel like this doesn't bother her. Like she doesn't even care that we don't see each other anymore and that she doesn't even miss me." I finally admitted to Rachel and myself.
"Santana, Dani loves you. Of course she's missing you too. She's just super busy with all of the work she's taken on. Don't worry so much you will see her soon, I'm sure of it," she said with a smile patting my leg.
"I hope so. What's up with you and that Carter guy?" I asked trying to change the topic.
"It's going great. He's really sweet and funny. I really want you guys to meet him, I think you guys will love him," she said with a bright smile.
"Sure, but I'll be the judge of whether he's good for you or not. And you better listen this time. We all know how the last guy turned out," I said seriously and she sighed.
"I know San. Trust me I'll definitely listen more to you about that stuff, but that doesn't mean that you can just decide who I'm going to be with so don't get crazy. I know you Santana and I know how crazy your expectations are. So please don't scare this one off because I really like him," she said her smile returning.
"Well if he can't handle me than he's not good enough for you," I said.
"Santana, I hate to break it to you, but most people can't handle you. Dani is a very special person when it comes to that and I don't quite understand it, but I'm not going to question it," she said with a chuckle and I couldn't really argue because it was true.
Rachel left a few minutes later to go to another audition and I was left sitting on the couch watching TV for the rest of the night because I had nothing better to do. This weekend was going to suck. I had Friday and Saturday off and I was supposed to at least spend one of those days with Dani, but now I was going to spend them both alone which seemed to be more and more typical lately. Pretty soon I grew tired from watching the TV screen and I felt myself slowly drift off, dreaming of the one thing I missed the most.
The next day I woke up and immediately regretted sleeping on the couch as my muscles were extremely soar. I got up and grabbed some coffee that Rachel left in the kitchen and started reading the paper. I was about halfway through the paper when my phone started ringing.
"Hello?" I asked not bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Hey baby guess what?" Dani said excitedly on the other end.
"What babe?" I said not really interested in guessing.
"So I brought my stuff in to Ryan yesterday and he loved it! So when I come in today he wants me to start recording already. He said we could have an EP of some of my original songs out within a few months!" she said practically screaming from how excited she was.
"That's awesome baby," I said excited for her, but still upset that I wasn't going to see her.
"But I know that we had plans tonight since we've both been too busy to spend time with each other, so I asked Ryan if it was okay for you to come with me and he said that it was okay. I really wanted you to be here for my first recording session. So you'll be here right?" she asked in a hopeful voice.
"Yeah baby. I wouldn't miss it," I said relieved that I would finally get to see my girlfriend again.
"Awesome I can't wait for you to get here! The address is 327 Thompson Ave. I love you San," she said even more excited than before.
"I love you too Dani. See you in a bit," I said finally matching her excitement before ending the call.
I got ready quickly, grabbing my purse from the counter before I left the apartment. I hailed a taxi and in about fifteen minutes I was at the recording studio. I gave the driver some money and walked into the building. I went up to the receptionist and signed in at the table.
"Do you know where your going?" the young receptionist asked.
"Um no. I'm looking for Dani Rhodes? She told me to come by for her recording session," I said before noticing the smile that spread across the girl's face at the mention of Dani's name.
"Oh Dani? Yeah she should be in Ryan's office, which is the door on the right all the way at the end of that hallway over there. She's pretty awesome. How did you say you knew her again?" she asked clearly crushing on my girlfriend.
"I didn't say, but if you must know she's my girlfriend," I said simply sending the girl a glare, which she returned. I walked away without letting her say anything else and knocked on Ryan's door. Dani immediately opened it and gave me a hug. I smiled at the contact that I had been missing for what seemed like an eternity.
"Hey baby," she said leaning in for a quick kiss.
"Hey," I said with a huge smile on my face as we broke away from the kiss.
"Well hello there, you must be Santana," Ryan said walking into his office. "I think I saw you at the coffee shop with Dani the first time I met her. I'm Ryan," he said extending his hand.
"Yup that's me," I said shaking his hand. "It's nice to officially meet you."
"You too, I've heard nothing but good things. Now, since you are both here we can head down to the studio and get started," he said motioning towards the door.
Dani and I followed him past the front desk and I couldn't help but notice the way the girl from the front desk eyed her up and down when we were passing.
"Good luck Dani. I'm sure you'll do amazing," she said as we passed by. She flashed Dani a smile and quickly glared at me when Dani walked past her. I had to fight back my emotions before I ripped this girl's head off so I simply gave her a look that could kill, which seemed to work for now, and continued following Ryan and Dani to the studio.
When we got into the studio Dani immediately went into the booth leaving Ryan and I in front of the soundboard. They worked on recording one song for about four hours and while I enjoyed seeing Dani and hearing her sing, I was growing impatient because I wanted to actually be with my girlfriend instead of just sitting in the back watching her and Ryan have a great time. They decided to take a quick break at around seven and Dani came over and sat next to me clearly excited.
"What do you think?" she asked taking a sip from her water.
"It's nice," I said simply, trying not to ruin her time.
"That's it? Baby aren't you excited for me?" she asked picking up on the feelings I was trying to cover up.
"Yes Dani. I'm excited for you and all the success you are having. But I'm sorry if I don't exactly love sitting in the corner for four hours without saying more than five words to you. It's not exactly how I pictured our Friday night date," I said unable to hide my disappointment.
"I know baby, but you knew this was going to happen. It comes with the job and I did ask you about how you felt about this so I don't understand why you are so upset with me now," she said her smile fading.
"I didn't know that you were going to keep breaking plans and blowing me off," I said bitterly. She was about to respond when the girl from the front desk walked into the studio.
"Hey Dani, how's the session going?" she asked taking Ryan's seat. I glared at the girl and she smirked back at me.
"It's good Jess. Can you leave me and Santana alone for a minute please," she responded with a smile.
"Sure thing sweetie, you know where to find me if you need me. For anything," she added with a wink before exiting the studio.
"What the hell was that about?" I seethed not able to contain my anger anymore.
"What are you talking about Santana?" she asked turning to me, confusion in her eyes.
"Don't play stupid. That girl has been flirting with you ever since I got here," I spat.
"So? Let her flirt. I don't care about her. I only care about you. You have to know that," she said seriously.
"Dani, I don't know anything anymore," I sighed.
"What is that supposed to mean?" she asked her voice starting to break.
"Dani do you even know how much I've missed you these past couple of weeks? We have barely spoken and every time I get excited about seeing you, you break our plans and I'm left alone and disappointed every single time. And I understand that you are busy with all of this stuff, but the thing that crushes me is that you don't even seem to care. I've missed you so much and it seems like you don't miss me at all," I sighed trying to hold back the tears.
"San of course I miss you," she said softly her eyes starting to tear up. "But I can't really help it…"
"See that's the thing Dani," I interrupted. "There shouldn't be any excuses. It shouldn't be this hard to spend time with the one you love," I said getting up from the chair and heading for the door. I stopped at the sound of her voice.
"What does this mean San?" she asked in a shaky voice.
I wanted to turn around and hold her and tell her that everything was okay, to make her feel better and take away the hurt, but I couldn't.
"I don't know Dani," I said softly before leaving the studio.
