The week is just about finally over and Dani had just finished her final exam. She had gotten all As and is in the mood to celebrate doing what she loved best... riding.
"Can I come?" Santana asks softly watching Dani tack up Skye. It is the last night before they head to the airport.
"Of course. Do you want to learn to ride?" Dani smiles.
"Not right now. Do I have to?"
"No, you can ride with me. Let me finish tacking him up then I'll help you up."
Santana is excited and nervous about her first horseback riding experience with Dani.
Getting help up, Santana wraps her arms around Dani's waist before they slowly move.
"Any destination in mind?" Santana wonders.
"I know the perfect place." Dani grins, "Do you mind if we went faster?" Dani asks a couple of minutes later.
"Uhm," Santana starts.
"If not, it's okay."
"No. Go ahead." Santana reassures nervously. Feeling Skye go faster, it's a slow gallop. Finding that Dani hasn't made Skye go that much faster, Santana relaxes. Looking back, Santana can't see the house as Dani gets them to enter a small little forest on the property.
Turning back to face Dani's back, Dani is slowly Skye down.
"Here we are." Dani speaks once Skye has stopped a little while later. They are in a small clearing with a stream and you can see the forming sunset.
"Does, uhm," Santana stutters.
"Jesse nor my parents know about this place. Marco doesn't even know." Dani reassures her as she climbs down. Placing her hands on Santana's waist when the Latina slowly turns to her, Dani helps Santana slide off.
Stumbling into Dani, Santana blushes holding onto her crush.
"You're okay. I got you." Dani whispers. Unable to help herself, Santana leans into Dani and kisses her lips. Just about to pull back, Santana feels Dani kiss her back. Smiling, the two of them continue to kiss slowly, gently and passionately.
The week went by faster than expected but Santana is excited to finally be able to create some space between her and Jesse.
Being at the airport is hard but she stays close to Dani and Dani takes care of her. Before they left, Dani took Santana out riding on Skye, alone. They went to the river and just watched the sunset. That was last night. Miley is sending them to Dani's grandparents' place before she and Travis arrives in two weeks.
Faster than expected they arrived at the airport and Dani began searching for her cousins who were picking her up. Santana stayed close in her side.
"Are you okay?" Dani asked.
"Just a lot of people." She said softly.
"It's okay. Just hang on a little longer and then we will be out of here. I just need to find my cous… AMY, TY OVER HERE!"
Santana jumped when she screamed.
"Sorry." Dani whispered.
"It's okay."
Two people walked over to Dani and Santana.
"Amy, Ty, this is my best friend Santana. Santana this is my cousin Amy and her husband Ty."
"Nice to meet you." Santana nods politely. She jumps as Ty put his hand out to shake.
She hides her face in Dani's shoulder.
"She's really shy. Give her time to warm up to you." Dani speaks softly.
"No worries. It's nice to meet you. Come on, let's get out of here." Amy says in a rush. She is very outgoing, but she will always be a country gal.
Santana follows Dani and the other two out of the airport. She is happy to finally get out of there. She is really excited to finally be back in the city again.
In the back of the up-to-date car, as Dani calls it to only get a quiet laugh out of Santana, Dani holds Santana's hand. Lacing their fingers together, Santana looks to Dani to see her looking back at her.
"You two look cozy." Ty teases looking quickly in the rear-view mirror seeing the almost kiss that they were about to share.
"Shut up." Dani whines blushing.
