My eyes slowly opened to reveal a brightly lit room. As my pupils adjusted and a yawn escaped my mouth I saw her. Her flawless skin, even with the scars she was still stunning. I moved a piece of hair from her face and placed it behind her ear. This is what made her so different. I didn't feel the need to run or put walls up. I wanted nothing more than to hold her as close as possible all night. Dani somehow got me to want to be better. Not just for myself but for her. It felt natural to love her.

"Is there something on my face?" Her voice was quiet as she spoke.

"No baby, your face is perfect. I was simply admiring it." My answer made her smile as she opened her eyes. "God, you are so beautiful. I wish I could do this everyday."

"We could." Her words made my heart flutter. I want nothing more than to wake up next to her every morning.

"That would be a dream come true." I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and she cuddled into my chest.

"I have to get up though. As perfect as this is, I still have to work." Dani kissed my lips and sprung out of bed. She grabbed one of my shirts and made her way to the pool house.

I spent the afternoon making calls and doing paperwork when the doorbell rang. I left my office and opened the front door to reveal Amy.

"For fuck sake, I thought I told you to leave me alone." I ran my fingers through my hair and stared at her.

"I know and I will. I just want to know what happened. I thought you were happy." A tinge of sadness crossed her face. "Can I come in so we can talk?"

"No you can stand right there. You made an ass of me in front of Dani last night so all I really want is for you to get lost and go fuck whoever it is this time." I could feel my skin getting hot and I clenched my teeth.

"I'm sorry San, I just miss you and want you back." Her eyes brimmed with tears and her voice was shaky. Was I being to hard on her? I did love her at one point, but that was a long time ago.

"Listen because this is the last time I will speak to you without my lawyer present. You hurt me. Not once, not twice but so many times that I stopped caring. You didn't care about how I felt then and you don't now." I stepped out onto the porch and she stepped back a step. "You are going to leave and never return. I do not miss you nor do I want you back or in my life at all." Amy was crying now and as mad as I was I still felt an urge to comfort her. "You broke my heart. No, you demolished my heart. So just please go and leave Dani and I alone."

She gave me a confused look. "Since when did you let people in so easily? She must really be something. It's a shame that you're gonna hurt her."

With that I slapped her. She stood there for a moment to take in what had happened. "I know I'm not perfect and I have made mistakes but I will never hurt Dani. I couldn't if I tried." I turned around and went back inside slamming the door behind me. I hadn't noticed that I was crying so I quickly fixed my make up and called Rachel.

"No I didn't let her in... I told her to fuck off and... Regardless, she cheated on me... What about her? ... Well I want to ask her to move inside with me but I don't know how... Mmhm... Okay... You know, you're a really good friend Rach... you too. Bye." That little imp was right, I just need to ask her and not make a spectacle of it.

I had four hours until Dani's shift was done so I decided to clean out a few drawers and make some space in my closet. I didn't realize I had so many clothes until I started to sort through them, maybe Dani would want some. I scratched that idea and decided we could both use a shopping spree since I managed to get rid of more clothes than I had originally planned on.

I heard a tap on my door not expecting it to be Dani. I must've lost track of time while cleaning my room. "Hey gorgeous." Her voice sent a shiver through my body.

"Hello to you too." I stood up and made my way towards her, opening my arms to hug her. "I missed you today."

"I missed you too." She kissed my cheek and looked behind me. "What is all of this?"

I let go of her and took her hand, leading her into the room. "You don't have to say yes but I really hope you do. Now I've cleared some space because I was hoping you would fill it with your stuff." She looked at me slighty confused. "What I'm trying to say is will you move in with me? I've cleared out a few drawers and space in the closet, even the bathroom has space for you." I turned around to look at her and she was crying. "If it's too much you can say no." I wrapped her in my arms again.

"No Santana it's great. Of course I'll move in." She nestled in closer to my chest.

"Then why are you crying?" I asked while rubbing her back to sooth her.

"No one has cleared out their stuff and made space for me before. It's just a bit of a shock." She stepped back and smiled at me. "It means a lot, thank you."

"Here's the thing, I've always had space. Waiting for someone to fill it. Then I find you on the side of the road and as I get to know you that space is filling. Dani, there is more than enough room for you here." I bit my lip in nervousness at my confession. It was true though, Dani was the missing piece. She has already filled the gaps that were left broken from others. Now I just needed to show her that.
