Through the Eyes of Dantana
Chapter 2 - Green Eyed Monster
Santana popped her head up when there was a knock at the front door. But, she was too comfortable in Dani's arms on the sofa to be bothered with it. "Rachel, door!" She called out, causing the blonde to laugh at her.
"I am not your servant Santana, you are closer to the door than I am." Rachel responded from the bathroom. "Besides, all I have on is a towel, and I don't know who it is."
"Wanky." Santana smirked, only to get smacked by Dani. "What?"
"Go answer the door, lazy." To emphasize her point, she pushed on the darker girl's shoulders to get her to get up. "It won't kill you."
"It might." She stretched before standing up. "For all you know it could be some serial killer that goes around to everybody's apartments and feeds on their flesh."
Dani's brow furrowed as she just watched her girlfriend. "The things you say…" All she could do was shake her head as Santana walked toward the front door.
"I can't help I have a vivid imagination." She shrugged while unlocking the door then sliding it open. "Quinn?" She couldn't stop the squeal that escaped her lips as she pulled her close friend in for a tight hug. "Oh my god! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see everybody." Quinn allowed her hands to rest on Santana's hips once they pulled apart. "I just finished my mid-terms and have a few days off."
Dani popped her head up to get a better look at the door. She had never met Quinn before, but Santana had told her a lot about the girl. Even the fact that they had slept together, twice. She couldn't help the bit of jealousy that ran through her when she spotted slender fingers resting on her girlfriend's hips.
"Q, Rachel's in the shower right now, though I'm sure if I told her you were here she'd come running out naked." Santana paused to absorb her own words, "hold that thought, let's find out."
Before Santana could go toward the bathroom, Dani interrupted her. "I really don't want to see Rachel naked again." Quinn snorted out a bit of laughter.
"You get used to it, baby." She stopped and lightly smacked herself in the head. "Dani, this is my friend Quinn I told you about. Quinn, this is my girlfriend Dani, that I told you about. There, we're all friendly now, I'm going to get Rachel."
Dani watched her girlfriend retreat into the bathroom, once again showing no sense of privacy. "It's nice to meet you, Quinn." Dani stood up to approach Quinn. Even though her first impression hadn't been the best, Dani always gave everybody a try.
The taller gave Dani a look up and down before reaching out to shake the girl's hand. "Pleasure."
Something was unsettling in the way that Quinn was smirking at her. There was something in her voice that didn't sit well with Dani. Before Dani had a chance to say anything, the woman in front of her was attacked with a hug by a barely clothed Rachel. "Rachel, I do not want to see that." She turned away to cover her eyes.
"I will have you know Dani that I am quite proud of my body, therefore I am not ashamed of showing it off around people that I know and care about." Once she finished scolding Dani, she turned her attention back to Quinn. "I can't believe you're here. How long are you going to be here?"
"Just like two days."
Dani took a step back to allow the friends to have their catching up time together. It wasn't her place. The three women in front of her went to high school and have known each other for years. Plus, she didn't want to get caught by Santana looking at Rachel's body, again. She couldn't help herself, Rachel was a gorgeous woman, and she looked at gorgeous women. As silently as she could, she went over to the armchair and sat down, mostly to keep an eye on Quinn.
"We so have to go out tonight." Rachel bounced.
"That sounds like a good idea." Quinn smiled brightly at Santana, then at Rachel. It didn't go unnoticed by Dani though.
Santana, however, didn't seem bothered with Quinn and looked at her girlfriend, "you know you're coming too, right."
The shorter blonde glanced at the three of them, she could see Quinn roll her eyes some, but Rachel was smiling at her, "sure." A smile crossed her own face as she looked at the tallest of the women. It faltered some when Quinn's hand came to rest on the small of Santana's back. That night was going to be interesting.
XXXXXX
Dani continued playing with the neck of her beer bottle. It was her turn to sit at the table to keep an eye on their drinks, even though she was the only one old enough for alcohol. She wasn't about to sit through another one of Rachel's 'better safe than sorry' speeches. After taking a swig from her bottle, she was thankful when she saw Rachel approaching their table.
"Tell me more about this Quinn person." Her eyes darted to Rachel for just a moment before looking onto the floor where Quinn had her arms around Santana's waist and Santana's arms were up and around Quinn's neck. "Actually, no, you don't need to." She held her hand up to stop Rachel from talking as she got up from the table to approach the pair on the floor.
She'd seen enough throughout the day, the lingering touch when she arrived. The flirty smiles that Santana didn't even notice. The way Quinn hooked her arm with Santana's when they walked into the club. Dani had bit her lip through everything. It was nice, yes, that Santana didn't even react to any of it, but, on the flip side of that, Santana didn't even try to stop it. What set Dani over the edge, was the way Quinn's hands moved down lower on Santana's back to rest on her very supple behind.
Taking a deep breath to calm her anger down enough so she wouldn't punch her girlfriend's friend. She made her way onto the dance floor and placed her hand on Santana's waist, drawing her attention away from Quinn. She was pleased when a mega-watt smile flashed across the darker girl's face and she turned to face her. Dani was going to let it go, until Quinn moved behind Santana and placed her hands on her hips. "Enough already." She pulled away from Santana to look right up at Quinn.
"Excuse me?"
"I've been biting my tongue ever since you got here. Santana may not have noticed what you were doing, but I did."
Quinn folded her arms over her chest, her eyes never breaking contact with the shorter woman. "What are you talking about?"
Even the tone in Quinn's voice was getting under her skin. Nobody could have that kind of a happy, breathy tone all of the time. "I know about your past with my girlfriend. She's told me everything. And from my understanding, you've had your opportunity."
"I still have an opportunity. Santana won't ever change from her old ways."
"What?" Santana went to go after her friend but Dani's arm shot out to hold her back.
"People do change. You were both drunk when you slept together, and from what Santana told me she was still feeling the effects the next morning. Can only imagine how much you two drank." She glanced at Santana who blushed. "She's not after being with someone who's only experimenting. She's not someone's science project."
Santana raised her eyebrows as she watched the exchange between her girlfriend and a former lover. She'd only seen Dani that angry once, even that one time she wondered if it rivaled the look she was seeing in the shorter girl's eyes at the moment.
"I'm not experimenting. I know who I am."
"So, you finally realized you were a lesbian so you came crawling back to her, even though you know she's with somebody?"
Quinn stepped into Dani's personal space, "I am not a lesbian…"
Dani didn't give her a chance to continue before she cut in. "A bi chick… that's even better." She snorted out a bit of laughter at the girl.
"That ship has sailed Quinn."
The taller blonde looked between the two women for a moment, all she could do was shake her head and walk back to the table where Rachel was seated. She grabbed her coat and the girls could see her talking to the diva, then shake the hand off of her wrist as she walked out of the club. Rachel turned to look directly at them with a shocked look on her face.
"I… I didn't even notice."
Dani shook her head at her girlfriend. "A woman has their hands all over you and you don't notice?"
"No, I didn't. Not at all." It was the truth, she didn't even pay any attention to anything beyond the words that had left her friend's mouth. "You though, your hands on me, I do notice."
"Oh, really?" Dani's anger started to fade away as she stepped up to her girlfriend and placed her hands on her hips. "I'm still mad at you."
"For what?"
"You didn't try to stop her from touching you."
Santana suddenly smirked. "You were jealous."
"I was not."
"You don't get like this when Rachel is touching me for one reason or another."
"Because you never slept with Rachel!"
"Honey, there's no reason to be jealous. It's exactly like you told Quinn, I'm not going to be anybody's science experiment anymore."
Dani grabbed her girlfriend's hand to pull her close and dance with her. "Good, but I wasn't jealous."
"Whatever you say." Santana laughed, placing her forehead against Dani's as their bodies moved together as one. To Santana, her body fit better with Dani's than with anybody else's. She would be an idiot to even dream of doing anything to screw up how things were with her wonderful girlfriend.
As always, let me know what you think :D
