Dani turned from her position at the desk when she heard Santana enter the room. Her eyes may have bulged out of her head too for there Santana stood with only a towel wrapped around her. It barely covered her breasts and stopped well above her knees. Taking in the girl's dishevelled wet hair and cheeky smirk Dani was beginning to lose her resolve. As if aware of the affect she had Santana flipped her hair as she bent down and let it fall back perfectly as she flicked it back upwards. All Dani could do was gulp.

"What are you doing on the net so early babe?" Santana enquired.

Looking at the computer and then back at Santana Dani looked sheepish in her reply.

"I...uhh...I was just seeing what people thought of my latest video clip."

"Dani! We talked about this!" Santana scolded the shorter Latina.

"I know but I couldn't help myself. And I didn't think you'd be out of the shower so soon," she mumbled over the last part.

Santana shook her head side to side and tisked her girlfriend for her behaviour. She knew looking up comments only put doubt into Dani's head; it wasn't good for the girl. It seemed that the only time people left their opinions is when they were mean or hurtful. Santana went to stand behind her girlfriend where she sat. There was still a chair between them, preventing their skin from making contact, but Santana rested her hands on Dani's shoulders in comfort.

"No matter how good you sound there are always going to be people out there who write stupid things just cause they can."

"They wouldn't find any faults if you were the one that got this break," Dani said quietly, knowing she sounded pathetic but not prepared to stop sulking.

"Are you kidding me?" Santana cried out. "Here look at this," she told Dani as she leant over the girl and started tapping at the keys.

Up on the screen came a still of three high school girls. About to ask what she was doing Dani watched intently as Santana hit the play button. Dani was unprepared for the vision of her girlfriend in such a tight cheerleading outfit, let alone when it changed to her dressed practically only in her underwear and grinding on a chair, that did things to a girl...

"Is that Quinn with longer hair? She looks different," Dani uttered out, trying to take her focus off how turned on a high school version of her girlfriend made her.

"Yeah and that's Brittany," Santana said pointing out her friend from trio, "they called us The Unholy Trinity."

"I can see why...damn girl," Dani said appreciatively as she continued to watch the stunning rendition of 'Toxic'.

"Thanks babe. But look," she said scrolling down and reading comments aloud, "tone deaf, try hards, go find some real talent, talentless whores...not exactly heart-warming stuff."

"So you're trying to tell me that no matter how good something may be there will always be someone trying to tear you down?" Dani concluded for herself.

"And that it doesn't mean you have to stop doing what you love. The right people appreciate your talent Dani, remember that."

"San...will you sing for me now? You sound really good in that video and I just want to hear it for myself," Dani pleaded, her face shining in anticipation.

"What's in it for me?" Santana knew she would end up doing this, her girlfriend always using her pout to get what she wanted, but she thought she'd at least try for something in return.

"What if I give you control of the next role-play night?"

"Well I did find my old cheerio's outfit in our cleanup the other day..." Santana mused.

"That's settled then!" Dani declared urgently before Santana could change her mind; this was a win-win situation for Dani after all.

Santana excused herself from the room, explaining to Dani she needed to swap her towel for an oversized t-shirt and some underwear. She also picked her iPod up off the dresser and brought it back to the lounge with her. Plugging it all in and taking a deep breath she felt ready for her moment. Dani may have asked for a song but she was going to get a show; Santana's sass never being in short supply.

As soon as the music began Dani smirked at the smug look on Santana's face; she knew instantly what song she had chosen to show off with. Prancing around in her baggy tee Santana came in perfectly in time with the music.

Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
"Baby" so sweet

Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can't help it baby

Santana continued to sway her hips and make quite a production out of the whole thing. Dani could only watch in awe; not just at her girl's body either; her voice was the perfect mix of rasp, sultry and huskiness. The end of the song came much too quickly for Dani's liking. Rather than end the song on the sour note it naturally did Santana returned to the first verse so that it suited the couple.

So be kind
And don't lose your mind
Just remember
That I'm your baby

"You are my baby," Dani nodded appreciatively as Santana straddled Dani where she sat on her chair. "And my baby has quite the voice."

"Thanks babe. I forgot how fun it was to perform, even if it was just for you."

"Well you can perform for me anytime," Dani drawled as she drew Santana into a fiercely passionate kiss. She'd been holding that in too long.

"I think I'm ready for a different kind of performance now," Santana hummed into the kiss. Dani was quick to agree, wanting to touch Santana all over and cherish the girl and her body that she loved so much. She raked her fingernails up Santana's slender thighs, relishing the hitch in Santana's breath it granted her.

"You forgot to put on underwear," Dani noticed as her fingers explored higher and higher up her girlfriend's thighs.

"Oh did I? Shame."
