Shorter but 2 chapters in one day. Thought it was important to establish the story a little more
Santana POV
Bailey woke up from his nap about 45 minutes after Dani left. We watched another movie and then spent the afternoon building a craft dinosaur that Bailey had seen on tv the week before. Thank god for my secretary, Gabby, because I have no idea where I would have got half the stuff from. Sundays are so different to all other days of the week, it's the one day I just get to be his Mami, instead of everything else I do during the week. I was thinking about the week ahead when I heard my phone chime indicating a new text message. I assume it's Gabby checking if I want coffee in the morning.
From: Unknown
This is my number. - Dani
I smiled and added her number to my contacts before replying.
To: Dani
I was wondering when I'd hear from you. How was lunch?
I hit send and threw my phone down before heading to refill my cup of tea. Bailey was on the floor playing with his blocks but he looked at me when my phone chimed again as I walked back in.
From: Dani
Boring. I love my friends but I don't need to spend 3 hours talking about why your boyfriend won't move in with you. I need a really long bath and a good book. What did you guys get up to?
To: Dani
We built a dinosaur. It was a pretty good one too until Bailey decided to go all Godzilla with it on his blocks and snapped it's legs off. The half an hour of crying that followed will make him think twice before doing that again. I'm about to put him to bed so I'm anticipating some more yelling and crying. It's one of our Sunday rituals.
From Dani:
I would probably let him stay up way too late if it was me. His face is impossible to say no to. I'm gonna let you go do that while I attempt to fall asleep in the bath.
To Dani:
It's hard but you get used to it! Enjoy :)
I had been in bed for the last hour going over my notes for court in the morning. My client was being sued for not making it clear enough on their packaging that their almond body wash contained nuts. The shit that makes it to trial in this country amazes me. My phone chimed with a message. It was 930 so it could only be a couple of people. I know who I hoped it was though.
From: Dani
How was world war 3?
To: Dani
Haha. One of the shorter battles I've had. I think he was still worn out from last night. How was your bath? Clearly you didn't drown.
From: Dani
Amazing. But nowhere near as long as it should have been. I'm not too great at sitting still. Sorry I just realised what time it was, hoping I didn't wake you or anything?
To: Dani
No, still awake. Preparing for tomorrow's case.
From: Dani
Wait, what?! You're a lawyer? How did I not know this already?
To: Dani
We were talking about how you're a superstar instead :P
From: Dani
Shut up! What kind of lawyer?
To: Dani
Corporate. The most boring! No criminal stuff here.
From: Dani
Still very cool though. You don't seem lawyery.
To: Dani
Lawyery? Is that a thing?
From: Dani
Yes :D
To Dani:
So what are your plans tomorrow superstar?
From: Dani
Ugh. Early morning radio interview and then straight to the studio. This was my last few relaxing days off for a while which is why I had to finish moving this weekend :(
To: Dani
Awww. You should try and get to sleep early then so you're all fresh for tomorrow. Moving is exhausting.
From: Dani
Such a mom thing to say! Okay, well I'll let you get back to your lawyery stuff :P Goodnight Santana.
To Dani:
Goodnight.
I can't remember the last time I had such a long conversation over text message. Britt and I used to do it, but that was mainly because we were making fun of other people in the room. It was kinda fun. I still can't tell if she's flirting with me or not. Something tells me that it might just be her personality.
I pull my glasses off and prepare to go to sleep. I drift off thinking of the last 24 hours.
