Eight
Tuesday went by in a blur with Santana being alone in more classes than she had hoped for yet again. Spanish class had been fun, though that had more to do with the fact that Santana had made jokes about Dani and Mr Martinez, which had only been brought on by the blonde's confession about the Spanish teacher the night before. To credit, Dani had taken everything in her stride and no matter how far Santana had taken the jokes- and she was taking them quite far- Dani had played along with everything that the darker haired girl had said.
Santana had also been happy that day when Dani had shown up in her gym and science class. Yet again, they had been paired up as lab partners by their teacher, Mr. Edwards. But still, the day had been an undoubtedly boring one. They day had finally ended with the first glee rehearsal of the year. Mr Schuester has spent the majority of the lesson talking about how it was 'so great to be back', and how this year was 'definitely the year of The New Directions'.
Their first glee assignment was a fairly easy one, just to get the new school year started. All they had to do was pick and perform a song by someone who they idolised in the music industry. Upon hearing those words Rachel had gone into a frenzy about how she couldn't possibly narrow it down to just one of her idols. Though, everyone knew in the end that she would choose Barbra Streisand.
Santana on the other hand had absolutely no idea what song she was going to pick, or even what avenue she was going to go down with picking her artist- there were a lot of people that Santana would say she idolised within music- but, she wasn't worried, she had until Friday to figure that one out.
Wednesday morning was dull and grey. It was clear to see that Autumn was setting in. Long gone were Santana's short skirts and dresses from the summer. They had been replaced by her collection of skinny jeans and thin sweaters.
That day she had left her house a little later than she usually would, telling herself that it was all Dani's fault; the pair had been up half of the night texting each other once again about nothingness. The conversation had started because of the episode of Dexter that Santana had been watching where the 'Ice Truck Killer' is revealed. Because of her late night she had slept through her alarm for the first time in her life.
She climbed into her car and slammed the door shut. Santana turned her key in her ignition only to be met with the sound of her engine struggling to start. She turned the engine off and tried again and then a third time, having no luck at all. She took a deep breath before she started to hammer her hands on the wheel in frustration, all the while spewing a string of profanities, insulting her car. She heard a light tapping sound on the window beside her, she turned her head slowly, to be greeted by the sight of Dani watching her with a bemused smile on her face and her eyebrow quirked.
Santana felt a slight blush creep up her cheeks at the fact that she had been caught acting like that, especially by Dani. She wound the window down slowly. "Hey, are you okay in there?" Dani said trying her best not to laugh at the other girl, and to her credit, doing rather well.
"Yeah." Santana said, "I'm fine." She was still slight breathless from her recent actions.
"Hmm mmm," Dani said nodding her head, "You seem it." She said sarcastically.
Santana rolled her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, "I can't get my car to start and I am already setting off later than I would have liked to." Santana continued, "Thanks to you keeping me up half the night with you're nonsense."
"You know, you don't actually have to talk to me." Dani said chuckling. No, but I want to, Santana thought. Dani sighed slightly, she grabbed her bottom lip between her teeth and tilted her head to the side while she thought for a moment. That stupid expression again! Santana thought as she watched Dani, "Do you want me to drive you to school?" She asked. "I mean, I'm already going that way, it's not like it's going to be a huge problem." She said shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"You'd do that?" She asked, Dani nodded her head, "Do you mind?"
Dani sighed and rolled her eyes, "Of course I mind." She deadpanned, she shook her head and said, "No. Look, if I ever offer to do anything for you or if I ever offer you anything, take it that I don't mind. Okay?" Dani asked.
Santana nodded her head and climbed out of her car. "Thank you." She said.
"How are you feeling today?" Dani asked.
Santana nodded her head, "Pretty good." Santana said honestly, "What about you?"
"Good." Dani said smiling, "I'm great." Dani said.
"You look nice today." Santana said as she looked Dani up and down. The shorter girl had her hair in it's usual style of loose curls, she had a red beanie hat on her head, a white t-shirt with the name 'Bowie' written across it in black, her leather jacket, ripped, black skinny jeans and red Converse.
"Nice as in...?" Dani said trailing off, she wasn't used to getting compliments from Santana, she planned on milking it for everything that it was worth.
"Pretty." Santana admitted.
"Well, thanks." Dani shrugged, "So do you."
"Don't I always?" Santana asked winking at Dani. The shorter girl rolled her eyes as they started walking over to her car. As soon as Dani had started her engine, she turned the heating on. It was unseasonably cold that morning.
The chill leaving goose pimples running up and down your bare skin and leaving clouds of breath as you spoke. Dani plugged her iPod into the wire hanging out of the stereo of her car and put on her play list of 'Car Music' putting it on shuffle and pulling out of her driveway.
oOoOo
Dani could feel herself getting increasingly bored with what the science teacher was saying to the class, she had never cared much for science. Usually she just winged her way through the lesson while leaving all of the harder work to her lab partner. She knew that working with Santana didn't work that way. She had learned that in freshman year.
She could other people around her and Santana making notes on what Mr. Edwards was saying, Dani rolled her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, she glanced to the clock, she had another 45 minutes of the lesson to endure.
Santana was looking blankly ahead, feigning interest in what the teacher had to say. Dani looked down at their table, taking note of all of the different piece of equipment needed for their first experiment of the year. She realised Santana was paying no attention to her, saw and opportunity and took it. She dipped her index and middle finger into the beaker full of of cold water and moved them slightly. She removed them from the water and flicked them in Santana's direction, splashing her face with water. She saw the girl's jaw tense slightly as she turned her head slowly in the direction of the short girl.
Dani sent Santana a cheeky, beaming smile, which she tried to play off as innocent. The taller girl let out a breathy laugh before repeating Dani's action, splashing the blonde with a small amount of water. Hitting her in the eye more than anywhere else.
Dani shook her head and splashed more water at Santana. That's all it had taken for them to start their mini water fight during the lesson. They only stopped giggling when the sound of Mr. Edwards's voice rang out through the room. "Danielle Mitchell!" He yelled. Of course it had been Dani that had been the one who had gotten caught, it was just her luck.
"Wha... I..."
"Cool it, or get out." He warned pointing between the shorter girl and the door to the classroom.
"Yeah. God Danielle, just cool it." Santana said shaking her head slightly, while sending Dani a look of mock disapproval.
"I hate you." Dani mumbled quietly.
oOoOo
To Daniellaaar
I am so sorry. I totally forgot that I have a glee thing today.
Santana sent the text as quickly as she could, hoping that Dani would receive it sooner rather than later.
From Daniellaaar
Don't worry about it, Sandbags... Do you have a way to get home or do you want me to wait around for you?
Santana furrowed her eyebrows slightly, she was surprised that the girl was willing to wait around for an hour longer than she actually needed to just for the sake of her.
To Daniellaaar
No that's fine, I'll get a ride with Quinn... Thank you though. And thank you for this morning!
Santana's reply came almost instantly.
From Daniellaaar
Oh, okay then... It's okay don't worry about it. Talk later?
To Daniellaaar
Or we could talk to each other right now? I'm not singing today.
No sooner had Santana put her phone back in her pocket when it was buzzing again. She pulled it out of her pocket quickly.
From Daniellaaar
No it will have to be later... I'm just getting in me car so I'm gonna be driving... I'd rather not crash my car.
Santana rolled her eyes, before writing another text to the shorter girl.
To Daniellaaar
Fine... Text me when you get home?
From Daniellaaar
I will... No leave me alone, you're a danger to society making me text while driving.
Santana smiled slightly as she walked into the choir room. She took a seat in the far corner of the room, sitting down next to Quinn. She just hoped the the hour would be over quickly. She didn't want to sit through three performances that were totally predictable. She knew the artists that Puck, Mercedes and Kurt would pick. She assumed that everyone did.
oOoOo
"Soooo." Quinn said prolonging the word slightly as she and Santana climbed into her car. "Where you texting Brittany just then?" She asked smiling weakly at the other girl.
As soon as Dani had gotten home she had text Santana, starting yet another one of their nonsense filled conversations.
Santana shook her head. "No. We have been texting, obviously. But not too much. I did text her this morning though to see how she was and how she was settling into Washington, she seemed fine."
"Oh..." Quinn said, "Who was it then?"
"Dani." Santana said quietly.
"Dani?" Quinn asked quirking her eyebrow.
"Yeah, that's what I said." Santana replied.
"Wait not Dani as in Danielle Mitchell?" Santana nodded her head. "But you hate her."
Santana rolled her eyes at how many people believed she and Dani had a true hatred for each other. "I don't hate her." She said, "But yeah her. She was the one who comforted me the weekend that Britt broke up with me." She admitted, "She seemed to understand what I was going through. She didn't force me to talk about it. But it was an option... Still is I think."
"Oh." Quinn said.
"She's actually really nice." Santana informed her.
"I told you she was nice years ago." Quinn said, "She's been in my English class since Freshman year, I talk to her a lot." Quinn chuckled, "It was only you out of me, Britt and you, that didn't like her." Santana rolled her eyes, "So what was she saying, anything interesting?"
Santana shook her head, "No. I was just saying that I had glee so I'd have to get a ride with you and not her. She got me to school today after my car wouldn't start."
"So why were you smiling so much at that?" Quinn asked.
"I wasn't smil..."
"Oh please, you were grinning like the Chesher Cat."
For the majority of the car ride Santana staid silent, she'd check her phone every now and again to see if Dani had messaged her, even though she knew she would have felt it buzz had the blonde tried to contact her. Quinn kept watching her from the corner of her eyes and smiling whenever Santana sighed and out her phone away.
When the two girls pulled up outside of Santana's house they saw Dani sitting on the front porch of her house with one of her guitars. Santana couldn't stop the smile that made it's way on to her face when she saw Dani.
Dani turned her head in the direction of the car and smiled when she saw the two girls.
"Hey." She said brightly, she was wearing her red beanie hat again from that morning, Santana couldn't help but think how cute the other girl looked wearing it.
"Hi." Santana said quietly.
Quinn waved once in Dani's direction before saying, "I won't lie, I only got out of the car to ask Dani what chapters we need to read of Animal Farm for tomorrow." She said.
"Chapters one to three." Dani said. "I've already done that." She admitted.
"You're such a nerd." Santana scoffed. Dani smiled slightly looking up at Santana.
Quinn looked between the two girls before saying, "Okay well thank you. I'll make sure to get that done as soon as I get in." She said before saying a quick goodbye to Santana and getting in her car heading back to the private estate in Lima where she lived.
Santana walked over to where Dani was and sat down beside her on the porch. "So, how was glee?" Dani asked, strumming her guitar lightly.
"It was okay." Santana said, "Mercedes sang a Whitney Huston song, Puck sang a Billy Joel song, and Kurt sang a Bette Middler song." She said.
"Oh which ones?" Dai asked.
"Mercedes sang, One Moment In Time, Puck sang My Life and Kurt sang Wind Beneath My Wings. Obviously." Santana said.
Dani chuckled, "Well that sounds extremely exciting." She replied sarcastically.
"It was." Santana smiled at her, she watched the girl for a moment, as she played a few chords on her guitar. "Are you not cold?" She asked, Dani shook her head slightly as she continued to strum her guitar, only mildly annoying Santana, "How?" She asked.
"Well, I've got my hat on, and my jacket, oh and I have a cup of coffee next to me." She explained.
"Nice." Santana smiled, "So what are you singing, anything good?" She asked.
"Well, I guess that depends on if you like Velvet Underground." Dani said. Santana quirked her eyebrow at the other girl, "The band?" Dani said. Santana shook her head slowly, "Well anyway, I heard a Strawberry Switchblade cover of one of their songs and fell in love with the song even more, so I decided to learn it." Dani explained.
"What's a Strawberry Switchblade?"
"A Duo from the eighties, they're pretty good. A find of mine from just clicking on the recommenced video links at the side of the YouTube page."
"Oh...Well, let's hear it then." Santana said, Dani turned her mouth down slightly, "Oh, come on Dani." Santana said. "I know you like to sing, I've heard you mumbling in the car...I want to know if there is a hidden Christina Aguilera in there."
Dani chuckled, "I assure you, there isn't." She said.
"Daniellaaar, sing!." Santana said smiling slightly. The shorter girl rolled her eyes and started to play the latest song she had decide to learn.
"Sunday mornin', praise the dawnin'
It's just a restless feelin', by my side
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's just the wasted years so close behind"
Santana felt her eyes widen slightly as Dani started to sing. It was obvious that she was musical, just by the amount of instruments that the girl owned, but Santana would have never expected her to sound like this when singing.
"Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all"
Dani made singing seem effortless, Santana couldn't help but wonder why she wasn't showing off her talents by taking part in the glee club, or even any of the musicals that the school put on.
"Sunday mornin' and I'm fallin'
I've got a feelin', I don't want to know
Early dawnin', Sunday mornin'
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago"
Santana couldn't keep her eyes off of Dani while she was singing. The girl had talent to spare. She watched the way that Dani's hands moved easily on the guitar.
"Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all
Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you, who will call
It's nothin' at all"
"Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'
Sunday mornin'"
When Dani had finished her song, she gave a weak smile and a shrug, "That's it. It's still a little messy because I've just learned it but..." She said trailing off.
"Dani you can sing!" Santana said.
She nodded her head slightly, "Erm, I already know but thank you all the same."
"You know?" Santana said, Dani nodded her head again, "What do you mean you know?" She asked chuckling slightly.
"Yes, I know that I can sing." Dani said, "I've recorded myself singing in the past a couple of times and I've listened to it back, people have told me numerous times that I have a good voice and I can actually hear myself when I'm singing." Dani explained, "I mean, I know I'm not the best but..."
"I think I'd disagree with you on the last bit." Santana admitted. "You're like, ridiculously talented."
"Now that is something new to hear." Dani said smiling, "So thank you very much for that one."
"So, how come you don't sing around people very often then? Is it a nervous thing?"
Dani shook her head, "No." She said, "Not really. Obviously I get nervous before I sing in front of people, I think that's a natural thing, but that's not why I don't. I just don't want to annoy people. Some people have said the constant singing and playing can get annoying. That's why I only do it around friends or when I'm alone."
"So, I'm a friend now?" Santana asked, Santana had started to consider Dani a friend, she just hadn't expected the blonde to feel the same.
Dani nodded her head slowly, "Yeah. I'd say so... Wouldn't you?"
Santana nodded her head, "Yeah definitely."
Dani saw a Santana shiver slightly, "Do you want to come inside for a cup of coffee? You look a little cold."
Santana nodded her head slowly, "Yes please." She said, the two girls stood up slowly and made their way into Dani's house.
As Dani and Santana walked past the living room, Dani's dad's voice rang out, "DJ, is that you?"
"Yeah." Dani said walking into the living room, with Santana following silently behind her. Santana looked between Dani and her dad. If she didn't know any better she would have sworn that Dani was no relation to him at all.
They were opposites, Dani had big, brown eyes while her dad had almond shaped icy blue eyes, his hair was short and very blonde, almost white, naturally Dani had darker hair. His sharp features made him look slightly intimidating. While Dani's soft features always made her appear friendly and approachable.
Even though he was sitting down, Santana could tell that he was a tall man, broad too, again the exact opposite of his short daughter.
All told, Dani and her father looked about as alike as a nettle and a rose.
"Erm... I've got a friend with me, that's okay right?" Dani asked.
"Yeah, that's fine... Who is it?" He asked.
"It's Santana Lopez, from next door." She said pointing to the girl standing beside her. Santana gave an awkward wave to the man.
"Oh." he said, he looked between the two girls, before saying, "Have fun then."
Dani nodded her head, "Yeah we will..." She paused before saying, "Where's mom?"
"She's in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll see you a little later. " Dani said smiling slightly, her dad paid no more attention to his daughter, turning his head to focus back onto the TV. before leaving the living room. Dani rolled her eyes at her dad before she and Santana left the living room and headed down the hallway towards the kitchen.
"So... DJ?" Santana asked, Dani nodded her head.
"Yeah... DJ, it's what my dad calls me sometimes." She explained.
"Why?" She said.
"First name, Danielle, Middle name, Jennifer." She shrugged, "DJ."
"You are literally one of the first people I have ever met who didn't shy away from telling me their middle name." Santana said.
"It's only a name." She said, "Besides, I don't really mind it all that much."
Dani pushed the door open and allowed Santana to walk into the kitchen beside her, though the taller girl stopped in her tracks when she noticed a brunette woman sitting at the kitchen island with a piece of paper laid out in front of her.
"Hey momma!" Dani greeted her mom happily as the two girls walked into the kitchen, Dani's mom beamed at the two girls, Santana had thought that they looked alike on picture, but the resemblance was even more striking in person.
"Hey, sweetie." Her mom said, "I thought you'd be outside longer than that." She said.
"I planned on it, but I ran into a friend." Dani said pointing at Santana who stood behind her shyly. "This is Santana."
"Maribel's daughter, right?" Dani's mom asked pointing at the brunette, Santana nodded her head slowly. "You can tell, hi." She said.
"Uh, hey. Mrs Mitchell."
Dani's mom shook her head and smiled, "Please, call me Jennifer" She said. Santana smiled slightly.
"Okay. Hey, Jennifer."
"So what are you two girls planning on doing?" Dani's mom asked, as Santana sat herself at the kitchen island slowly, leaving a chair in between her and Jennifer, hoping Dani would soon sit there.
"I'm just gonna make some coffee and then...I'm not really sure... What do you wanna do?" She asked.
Santana shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not really that bothered, we can do whatever."
"Dani go sit with your friend, I'll make the coffee." Her mom said standing from where she was sat. She turned on the coffee marker before looking at Santana and smiling brightly, "How do you have your coffee, dear?"
"Two sugars, please." Santana said quietly. Dani quirked her eyebrow at Santana before looking at her mom and scoffing slightly, sitting down next to the other girl.
"Why are you pretending to be shy?" Dani asked in a low voice so only Santana could hear her. Santana shrugged her shoulders slightly, Dani chuckled and shook her head, Dani's mom looked between the two girls smiling slightly. Dani turned her attention back to the older woman, who quickly looked away from the two girls so they wouldn't know she had been watching them.
"So Santana how are your parents?" She asked as she laid out three cups.
"Oh, they're great thanks." Santana said, "My papi's been working hell of a lot more recently, mainly night shifts." She sighed "And my mami is fine, still working for the bank." She paused before asking, "How are you?"
"Oh, I'm fantastic thank you." She said, smiling the same bright smile as her daughter. "Just working out some financing." She said, "Got to get ready to leave for Columbus yet again on Friday morning." She rolled her eyes slightly.
Dan chuckled, "If you hate it so much just make dad go alone." Dani said, "I'm sure he could survive for a few days without you."
Jennifer rolled her eyes, "You don't know your father as well as you think you do." She sighed. "No. I don't mind going, makes more money, keeps a roof over our heads."
"Yeah but you always complain about having to go." Dani said.
"I know that but, Dani, sometimes in life you just have to do things you don't want to do." She said in soft voice. "If I could stay in Lima and do the same job and makes as much money, I would... I can't say the same for your father, he wants us to move to Columbus, but, there's no place I'd rather be than here with you and Will." She said smiling at her daughter.
Santana watched the interaction between Dani and her mom. It was easy to see where Dani got both her looks and her caring personality from.
oOoOo
The two girls had spent more time than expected with Dani's mom. Jennifer had shared a few stories about herself and Santana's mom from when they were roughly the same age as them.
It turned out that Maribel and Jennifer had met while they were both studying at Ohio State University. It was safe to say that they both had some stories to tell about each other, and not all good.
"Your mom's nice." Santana said as she dropped herself down onto Dani's bed.
"Yeah she is, she's really nice." Dani said, joining the taller girl. Dani set the tub of ice cream down on the bed, opening it up before handing Santana a spoon and tucking in to the caramel flavoured side of the ice cream.
"You're a lot like her." Santana smiled.
"You really think?" Dani asked, Santana nodded her head, "Well thank you." She said, feeling slightly proud to be like her mom.
"She's like, really pretty, too."
"Yeah, she's kind of beautiful."
"You do realise that you look exactly like her, right?"
"You really think?" Dani had always thought of her mom as being an extremely pretty woman, possibly more than just that. And in the past people had said how alike they were, it had never failed to bring a smile to her face.
"Definitely, I think you have softer features but, it's still there."
"Thank you very much." Dani said smiling.
"You are very welcome." There was a beat of silence before Santana said, "So, if you're named after your mom, is Will named after your dad?"
Dani shook her head, shoveling another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. "No." She said thought her mouthful, she swallowed and said, "Adriana is named after my dad." Dani explained, "Dad is called Adrian, and wanted the first born to be named after him, when they got a girl, they just added 'Ana' onto the end." Dani said. "So when my mom found out she was pregnant with me, it was a case of 'oh we'll name this one after you'." Dani said, "But mom didn't want me to have the same first name as her, so she suggested Danielle Jennifer and dad went for it." She said, "I don't know why Danielle, I think they both just liked it, but I'm not sure."
"I'd like to know what they would have done had you been a boy." Santana said chuckling, "I mean, Jennifer works for a girl but..."
"They'd have probably gone with her middle name," Dani said.
"Which is?" Santana asked before taking a chunk out of the vanilla flavoured ice cream on the side closest to her.
"Leigh." Dani replied.
"Oh... So, who's your brother named after then?" Santana asked.
"Will is named after our grandfather's."
"Both of them?"
Dani nodded her head, "Yeah weirdly, they're both called William."
"Wow... I think you got the best deal." Santana said. Dani smiled slightly. "No, I'm serious. I actually really like your name." Santana said.
Dani nodded her head, "I don't hate it." She admitted, "I think that Dani is just easier." She said, "Oh and I think Danielle sounds way too formal sometimes."
Santana smiled, "I didn't only mean the Danielle part, I meant all of it." She said, "And I disagree with you on it sounding too formal." She smiled, "I think that it suits you perfectly."
They sat smiling at each other for a brief moment before Dani said, "So what about you? Are you named after anybody?"
Santana nodded her head, "Yes, but, like with you, it's my middle name." She said, "I'm named after one of my aunts." She explained, "Carmen's middle name is Maribel, like our mom's name, and my middle name is Gabrielle."
Dani's eyes widened slightly, "Like the singer, with the eye patch?"
"Trust you to say that." Santana said before helping herself to a spoonful of of ice cream from Dani's side of the tub.
"Excuse me!" Dani said, faining shock and offense "You said you wanted the vanilla not the caramel."
"Maybe I changed my mind." Santana said through her mouthful. She looked at Dani and furrowed her eyebrows, only just realising that the shorter girl had her hat on still. "Why are you still wearing your hat?" Santana asked looking Dani.
"Oh, because it's comfy and it looks good on me."
That it does, Santana quickly shook the thoughts from her head not knowing where they came from. She knew Dani was pretty, she had always thought that, but still, there was no time or room for those thoughts.
"If you say so." She scoffed.
"Erm I know so."
oOoOo
"Shit, what time is it?" Santana asked, she hadn't realised how dark it had gotten until the screen on Dani's laptop went black as the credits at the end of the second movie they had watched that night started to roll.
Dani grabbed her phone from inside the drawer and unlocked the screen, squinting slightly at the brightness. "It's a little after ten-thirty." Dani said.
"Oh no." Santana said quietly.
"What's wrong?" Dani asked.
"Nothing, really..." Santana said the taller girl had made no effort to move from Dani's bed and instead pulled the pillow closer to herself. "It's just, my mami is going to go crazy she doesn't know where I am... But, I don't wanna move." She admitted. "You're bed is way too comfy."
"Comfiest bed in the whole house." Dani said with a shrug.
"Do you sat that to all of the girls to get them in your bed?"
"Hmm first time round I don't think I even had to say that to you." Dani chuckled, Santana rolled her eyes at the shorter girl. "Come on, I'll show you out." She said, she climbed out of her bed, pulling Santana along with her.
Dani laced their fingers together as they made their way to the front door. They walked together in a comfortable silence, Dani had started to swing their arms between them slightly.
The two girls stopped by Dani's front door. "Okay, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Santana said.
Dani nodded her head, "Yes. You will." She said, there was a beat of silence before Dani said, "Do you want another ride to school tomorrow?"
Santana contemplated Dani's offer before saying, "Erm, yeah sure... Well if I can't get my car started." Dani nodded her head slowly, "If I can get my car going, I'll give you a lift." She said.
"So what are we car pooling from now on?" Dani asked.
"Yeah. I don't see why not." Santana said, "It makes sense, it would save us a little bit of money on gas, I suppose and we could do alternative days so it's not like one of us is always driving the other around."
"Yeah. Okay." Dani said, she pulled Santana towards her and brought her in for a hug, that lasted a little longer than their others had. Dani let go of Santana and already, the taller girl missed the contact.
"Alright then. I'll see you tomorrow." Santana said.
Dani nodded, "You will... Sweet dreams, Sandbags." Dani smiled.
"You too, Daniellaaar." Santana replied as she walked across the garden to her own house, getting ready for the onslaught from her mother about why she was back home so late in the day.
Sorry foe the late update, life's getting pretty crazy. I was actually going to try and update yesterday, but had a pretty shit day, so you're getting the chapter now. Hope you like it. The song used in this chapter is Sunday Morning by Velvet Underground- though the Strawberry Switchblade version of the song is also amazing, you should listen to both versions
P.S: I am already in the process of writing the next two chapters, so hopefully they will be uploaded soon.
