Santana sat in the lounge room not really knowing how to occupy her morning. Usually Dani, if she stayed the night, was up long before her and she never had to entertain herself. Today though Dani had been sleeping soundly when Santana had awoken. Looking over at the laundry basket she sighed to herself and picked it up. Maybe she'd be a good roommate and fold the laundry considering Quinn did it the other 99% of the time. Minutes in Santana actually found the repetitive action quite cathartic; there was something nice about the stillness and silence of the room where her thoughts could roam freely as her fingers fidgeted with the material.

When Santana took a quick trip to the kitchen, deciding chores needed coffee to make them go smoother, she heard Dani's muffled voice. She figured the girl was just having one of her intense adventure dreams. That was one unique thing about Dani; she loved watching dramatic crime shows before bed and as a result often found herself in these dreams where she was a hero of sorts. Of course it also meant Dani would often talk, shout, or struggle beneath the sheets but it was just one more thing that Santana enjoyed being the only one to know about her girlfriend.

Not long later Dani emerged from Santana's bedroom. Without hesitation she went straight to the couch where her girlfriend was at, sat herself down sideways on Santana's lap, looping her arms around her neck.

"You're up early. Did you sleep alright babe?" Dani asked.

"I did actually. I had this dream in which I was dating this incredible girl."

"Oh really?" Dani enquired. "Tell me about this girl."

"Well she was beautiful, kind, thoughtful, has this gorgeous raspy voice. She was a great kisser, oh yeah…" Santana said as she imagined it over again in her head and Dani chuckled as she waited for her to continue. "…and she was sexy as hell."

"Wow, what a shame you had to wake up from that dream."

"Oh I didn't have to," Santana said proudly, her grin threatening to take over her entire face.

"You're such a charmer Santana Lopez. A charmer…or maybe a goofball…" Dani mused.

Dani cried out as Santana pushed her off her lap and onto the couch. Santana wasted no time in climbing on top of her girlfriend and tickling her mercilessly. Even at her mercy, tangled hair, no make-up, desperately trying to catch her breath, Santana thought Dani was absolutely beautiful.

"Stop…Stop…ahh San…" Dani pleaded before changing tactics. "If you stop I'll tell you my big news."

"Hmm," Santana mused trying to assess the truth of Dani's statement and if she did in fact know something she didn't.

"I was on the phone to Greg this morning…"

That's when Santana knew that the voice she had heard that morning was in fact a real conversation, and not one of Dani's dreams as she had so quickly assumed.

"And what did ol' Greg have to call you for so early on a Saturday morning?"

"Well," Dani began as a smile played at her lips. "He was actually getting back to me on an idea I put forward that day at the company after you had left."

Dani knew she had Santana's full attention as Santana sat upright before offering Dani a hand up too. The two sat facing each other on the couch, the mood having dramatically changed in the last minute.

"You're killing me Dani, out with it!" Santana urged.

"Alright, alright don't get your knickers in a twist!"

"If I'm wearing any…" Santana uttered suggestively.

"Oh not again, stop distracting me with your sexiness."

"I'm sorry," Santana said feigning innocence. "Go on."

"Fine," Dani said huffing. "After you aired your perfectly reasonable concerns over me going on this tour alone I talked to Greg about you coming with me. Now he wasn't exactly thrilled at first, thinking you would be quite the distraction. I can't say I blamed him for that since you are downright irresistible." Santana laughed. "But after he heard you sing last night, and after waking up to all the Internet buzz, he relented."

"Greg wants me to go on tour…?" Santana asked as her hands fidgeted.

"No I want you to go on tour. Please say you'll come baby, it'll be amazing. You'll join me for a song or two each night. You'll get to live out your dream of sharing your voice with the world and I'll get to live out my dream of sharing my life with my girlfriend. I know it's a lot to give up; normal life, your job, Quinn…but it's only for a few months and it would mean everything to me if you said yes."

"Yes."

"Yes?" Dani questioned, surprised at how easy that had been.

"Of course Dani! This is the best news yet!" Santana said excitedly. She took Dani's face in her hands and pushed her lips eagerly to Dani's. Santana sucked at the girl's bottom lip, earning a delightful moan. Dani's hands threaded through Santana's hair as she snaked her tongue past Santana's teeth and deep into exploration of Santana's mouth. When Santana pulled back Dani playfully scowled.

"I've got to call Quinn!" Santana urged. "Surely she can sublet for a few months, or if not I can continue to pay my half...will I get paid for this…oh that doesn't matter….but what will I wear on stage, so many people will be seeing me…so many…oh god can I do this…"

Dani chuckled in response to the ramblings of her girlfriend. She intertwined her fingers with Santana's, pulling her hand to gain her attention. When Santana looked into her eyes Dani saw excitement, fear, joy, happiness….such a mix.

"You can do this. We can do this. It's going to be hard work but it's going to be fun. Santana and Dani's tour adventures 2014!"

"Now who's the goof?" Santana asked quirking her eyebrow.

"Me." Dani accepted. "I'm the goof that is over the moon because I get to take the girl of my dreams on tour with me. I'll get to stand on stage with her, hear her magnificent voice night after night. And I hear that the main act gets special privileges with their duet partner…"

"Oh is that so?" Santana teased. "Good thing this is your first tour then or Snix would be coming out right now to deal with the others. But since you mention it…I've got a few hours spare…ya know, if you need to audition my abilities for those nights of special privileges."

The suggestive tone of Santana's husky voice sent shivers through Dani's body. She gulped as she let thoughts of the rest of their day run wildly through her mind.

"Couldn't hurt…" Dani muttered, her voice strained with arousal.
