July flew by. Joshua had contacted Dani, telling her that he was finishing up the last details of getting her album recording deal set up, and to say she was excited would be an understatement. Dani almost felt bad, though, since Santana still hadn't gotten a deal for a single.
The Latina insisted though, that she did not resent the blonde for it. Her time would come, she said, and right now it was just Dani's turn.
One of the many reasons that Dani loved her girlfriend. She was just so... perfect.
Dani had also asked Joshua if Santana could feature in some of Dani's songs, and he had agreed with a wholehearted yes! Santana was ecstatic, and she was hoping that Joshua would see her talent and possibly sign her on as well. Of course, she wasn't getting her hopes up too high.
At the end of July, Kurt announced that he and Blaine had set a sure date for their wedding—the Saturday after Thanksgiving. He and Blaine figured it would be perfect since it was likely that everyone would meet in Lima. Blaine was actually moving to NY, Kurt had also announced, although he hadn't gotten into NYADA or NYU like he'd tried for. He was planning on trying again when the semester was over, and until then he at least had found a job performing at an Old Folk's home every week, which Santana had a bit of a laugh about.
Dani and Santana didn't have set plans for Thanksgiving, but they knew they would have to go the weekend after at least, for Kurt's wedding. Unfortunately, Dani had to tell Santana that she didn't have the money for another trip anywhere already.
Santana, being the amazing girlfriend she was, offered to pay for the ticket. She said they could take the freaking long train trip so that it wouldn't be as much money, and that she'd cover it. Apparently, she had a pretty full savings account, since she wasn't paying for college and her parents hadn't had any financial problems since her dad had gotten a job as a doctor in the hospital in Lima.
Dani really didn't want to take Santana's money, but the Latina's argument had literally been, "Dani, we live together. We share the same bed, the same food, everything, right? Neither of us are ready to start combining our bank accounts or something like that, but let's face it, all that shit is going to happen eventually. So really, me paying for your ticket is really us paying for your ticket."
That had been logical enough to the blonde, who had agreed.
At the beginning of August, two weeks before their weekend in Florida, Dani decided that she needed to do something about her hair. After much contemplation, she had decided to keep it blonde. She liked it better than brown, it felt more... her. Even her mother had agreed that it did. Santana loved her no matter what, so Dani shamelessly got it dyed again.
Getting her hair dyed reminded Dani that she and Quinn had made up completely, and that she'd gotten the other blonde's cell number. Honestly, Dani was happy about it. Quinn was funny, she could be nice if she wanted, and she was still Santana's friend. Dani had felt so included with all the people she'd met in Lima, even Quinn.
She decided maybe she'd start to talk to the other blonde. She knew that Santana did sometimes, and Rachel, too. Plus, Quinn lived in a city where none of her old friends lived, and she would probably like to talk to more of them, even if Dani wasn't really an "old friend".
It felt good to be finalizing the amends between her and Quinn.
Some amends had yet to be made, however. Dani still hadn't spoken to her parents in quite a while, and while she would be very, very happy about it, she couldn't help but remember how her mom said she genuinely wanted to be part of her life again.
To believe it, or not to believe it?
Dani thought about contacting them through Ri, but she didn't want to be the one to rekindle their relationship. Her parents were the ones who screwed up, and Dani still had no regrets about her past. If they wanted to fix it, they could start the kick off.
Also, despite the older Latina's contribution toward Santana's birthday present, Santana's Abuela had not yet tried to speak to her granddaughter, or rekindle their relationship. Santana wasn't taking that too well, but Dani kept reassuring her that the idea for the present was the start of something that would likely get much better.
Yet another relationship problem... Brittany. Brittany had texted Santana a few times since her last phone call with Santana. Dani had seen them, and they were short things like "Hope you're doing well" or "Classes are getting easier". Dani knew that Santana appreciated that Brittany was keeping her updated, but she also saw how the texts hurt the Latina.
Santana was still trying to process how she hurt one person who she hadn't ever intended to hurt. Dani had spent a few conversations with Santana telling her how everything would end up okay. Luckily, there hadn't been any near-fighting incidents like the first time.
Despite all of the drama that was continuing through the girls' lives, all of it seemed to drop off of their shoulders as they got to the airport very early on a chilly Friday morning, with the intention of being in Florida in less than four more hours.
They each had only a purse and a carryon, so there was no need to check any bags. Not that they were paying for this anyway. They went through security and grabbed a bite to eat from a small Starbucks that was clumped with the lines of small shops and cafes on the way to the gates.
They got to their gate just before the passengers were to board the plane, and as they looked down at their tickets, they realized for the first time that they were First Class.
"Yes!" Santana exclaimed as they walked through the tunnel to the plane with the other First Class fliers. "We get the cushy seats!"
Dani smiled, because Santana was just so cute. "It's just three hours."
"Yes, and during those three hours, my butt will be adequately cushioned rather than being flattened by the stiff seats of the normal chairs," Santana insisted. Dani rolled her eyes with a smirk, and as Santana filed in front of her to step on the plane, Dani couldn't help but give her girlfriend a light slap on her ass.
Santana turned her head to look at the blonde, and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Dani returned the look with a wink, and she Santana flush a little. They continued onto the plane and took their seats in the First Class part of the plane, which was separated from the main seating area by blue curtains.
The seats here were four to a row, divided into two columns, rather than the three to a row in two columns in the main area. That meant that Dani and Santana weren't going to be awkwardly sitting right next to some random person. Although, there was a kindly looking older couple sitting across the aisle in the other column.
"So, do you think we get to our resort you're up for getting it on, like, on the beach?" Santana asked in a quiet voice, quirking an eyebrow.
"You don't ever stop thinking about sex, do you?" Dani asked with a chuckle. "Sex on the sand? That sounds like... painful... Sex on a towel in the sand? Sure."
Santana grinned. "I'm so excited!"
"For the beach sex?" Dani asked with a laugh.
Santana huffed, and explained, "I'm excited for all of it. A weekend away from the rest of the world with you... that's like the best gift ever. I mean, of course all of our sex is going to be amazing, but that's not all I'm excited about."
Dani gave her girlfriend a wide smile. "I know, babe," she agreed, leaning forward and pressing a sweet kiss onto the Latina's lips.
An announcer voice came over the intercom of the plane. "Passengers, please be sure your seatbelts are buckled and the overhead bins are closed. We are now preparing for flight."
As the plane started driving toward its runway, the older woman sitting across the aisle from the younger girls leaned toward them. "Are you two going off on your honey moon?"
Dani, who was sitting by the aisle, felt herself blush as she turned to look at the older woman, who was holding hands with her husband who had fallen asleep in the few minutes he'd been on the plane. "No, just vacation. We're not married," Dani told her, glancing over at her girlfriend with a small smile.
"Engaged?" the woman asked, smiling at them.
Santana spoke next, "No, we're not." She paused, and then added, "yet." Dani felt her cheeks turn a shade of red. She hoped it wasn't too dark.
"How long have you two been together?"
"Just four months," Dani told her honestly.
The woman waved her hand. "Bah, time doesn't even matter. What matters is that you are in love, and just by looking at you two, I can see the true love sparking."
Dani bit her lip to hold back a grin, and Santana took her hand and squeezed it.
"You girls really look like a lovely couple," the woman added. "I love seeing couples that aren't afraid to show who they are and who they're with to the world. Society is so horrible these days, it's nice to know so many people are finally embracing themselves."
Santana replied with a smile, "Yes, it really is."
"And you two are still young," the woman said with a smile. "You will get to see the world and the people around you grow and change. I'm proud to have seen it this far, and hopefully I'll see it some more for the next few years."
"Are you going on vacation with your husband?" Dani asked curiously.
"Sort of," the woman said with a smile. "We're visiting our daughter and son-in-law, and our grandkids."
They talked for a while longer, before the woman's husband woke up and she began to talk to him. Dani and Santana didn't really mind; they just shifted their attention toward one another. "How much longer until paradise?" Santana asked tiredly, leaning her head onto Dani's shoulder.
"Two hours, I think," Dani replied, leaning her head on Santana's.
"Ugh, why can't we just be there already?" she groaned. Dani chuckled and began to run her fingers through Santana's dark, silky hair.
"Because the world isn't that advanced yet," Dani explained.
"Why not?" Santana whined out. Dani let out a light laugh and relaxed in the soft chair, her fingers still running through her girlfriend's perfect hair.
They were quiet for a little bit, but then Dani felt a question itching its way to her lips. She quietly said, "Santana..."
"Mm, yes, mi amor?" Santana answered softly, sweetly.
"You'd want to marry me eventually, right?" Dani asked in a small voice. Deep down, she knew what Santana's answer would be, but she was nervous to hear it nonetheless.
Santana lifted her head from Dani's shoulder, and the blonde turned to lock her eyes with Santana's. The Latina lifted a hand and ran it softly down the side of Dani's face. The blonde leaned into the touch and closed her eyes. "Babe," Santana started, "one day, we are going to get engaged. And we're going to do all of the freaking cheesy wedding planning. We'll look through magazines, and shop for dresses and make cute little invitations. And then, I am going to marry the hell out of you."
Dani let out a chuckle at that.
"And then, we're going to go on an amazing honeymoon, and it won't matter where because we'll spend the entire time holed up in whatever hotel we're staying in, continuously making love," Santana finished. Dani opened her eyes and smiled. "Does that answer your question?"
"Mm, definitely," Dani replied, leaning forward and kissing Santana on the lips lovingly. She didn't let it heat up, though, since they were still on the plane. "Santana, you are seriously the most perfect person ever."
"I try," Santana admitted with a wink. Dani shook her head and laughed, leaning her head against Santana's shoulder. Santana absentmindedly played with her hair for the rest of the plane ride, even though Dani was sure she drifted off at some point.
As the plane finally started to glide downward, the announcer said, "Welcome to Florida, folks!"
Dani sat up and gave Santana a wide grin. Their amazing weekend started now.
Ahh okay I reread this like normal and I'm fangirling over Dantana even though I'm the one that wrote this... is that normal? "I'm gonna marry the hell out of you" hehe.
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Please let me know in a review, or a PM, or find me on Twitter at BrittzandTana !
Been getting some guest reviews saying that Dantana's sexy times end kind of quickly... yes, I know. If you read all of my A/N's and especially if you read any of my other fics, you'll know that I am not one for writing smut, and that this story is actually the only one that goes as detailed as it does, and I don't intend to get much more detailed. Sorry, I'm just not that kind of writer.
Did y'all watch Glee? I loved it, but can't wait until the next episode cuz Dantana! :D ALSO... did you guys see the Neon Lights Music Video?! HASHTAG PERFECTION! OHH and guess what! I got Demi's book today! ^.^ Life is good.
I'm almost on Thanksgiving break from school, so hopefully next week you will get updates faster (yeah, that's saying something considering I'm updating everyday...)
Love you (Dreamers?! :P)
Goodnight! :D
