I'm working a lot the next couple of days but hopefully should still get an update in somewhere :)

thanks again for the amazing reviews! You guys rock!

Dani POV

I had today off and I'd been going back and forward in my head all day about contacting Santana. After I got off the phone with her, I spent an hour or so with a bruised ego and then got over myself and realised that we barely knew each other. The problem is, I felt like such an idiot for overreacting that I couldn't bring myself to call and apologise. That's how I found myself in front of her door. Now I just needed to knock.

Before I had the chance, the door opened and I was greeted with a confused and somewhat sleepy looking Santana.

"Dani, hey, I heard someone near the door, I thought you were the delivery guy"

"Uh.. No. Unless you ordered an apology?" I muster up the dorkiest grin I've got hoping it will win her over.

She smiles at me and I'm thinking I haven't completely ruined our friendship. I hear the elevator doors open and turn to see the actual delivery guy exiting with what smells like Indian food. He hands Santana her food and leaves.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your dinner, I just wanted to chat about yesterday but I can totally come back later."

"Why don't you come in? I was feeling sorry for myself and ordered way too much food."

"Are you sure? I really don't wanna bother you."

"Just come in dork." She says pulling me in and shutting the door.

We head to the living room and Santana goes to grab some plates.

"Do you want some wine? Or a beer?"

"Wine is good. Thanks."

When she comes back we get right to eating. She's right, she definitely ordered a lot of food. It's silent and I feel like I'm the one that needs to break it.

"So about yesterday.."

She cuts me off.

"No, I'm really sorry. What I said was so uncalled for and I didn't even mean it the way it came out." When she apologises, I stop eating and give her my full attention.

"No, I completely understand. You're a mother and it's your job to protect Bailey and you barely know me."

She smiles at this which confuses me.

"Why don't we agree we're both sorry so that this doesn't go on all night." I relax at this and then she continues.

"I may not have known you for very long, Dani, but from what I can tell you're not the kind of person that would enjoy being on the cover of a tabloid magazine. And I don't think you would like it if Bailey was either. So my comment, while it may have been coming from a mama bear place, was a little harsh."

"You're right. I hate the tabloids and the paparazzi. That's a big part of why I moved to New York. I was hoping I could just continue to make music without everyone being concerned with what I was wearing on a daily basis or who I was hanging out with. I guess that's why I took what you said to heart. I would never intentionally put Bailey in any situation that would cause him harm. Or you for that matter. You're the first friend that I've made here that I don't feel like I have to pretend to be something I'm not with. That sounds a little silly but, it was refreshing that first day when you had no idea who I was."

She just stares at me after I'm done speaking. That got way too serious. She's clearly going to think I'm a freak. Awesome. Well done Dani. She then starts laughing.

"Sorry. I'm not laughing at what you said. I could just see the gears turning in your head after you finished speaking. You looked so freaked out." I'm relieved but I end up blushing so I push her shoulder to try and ease some of the tension that has coiled in my body.

"Don't laugh you jerk." She laughs harder then tries to control herself. I'm not sure how much wine she had before I got here, but I'm guessing this wasn't her first glass.

I change the subject to avoid further embarrassment.

"So where's Bailey? Bed already?" It was 7.

"No he's at my moms for the night. I had a migraine and needed some me time so I slept most of the afternoon and then decided to gorge myself on food" She gestures to the table.

"Fair enough. How's your case going? The one you were working on yesterday?" I ask while going back to my food.

"Ah, funnily enough, when I got off the phone with you, I was too distracted to get much work done and when I got Bailey back to the office with me, he got bored and decided to throw a tantrum. Let's just say, it was not a fun night."

I really wanted to make a quip about Bailey being bored at the office but I wasn't sure our friendship was at a point where we could joke about our mini fight. She answered my thoughts for me though.

"You can say 'I told you so' if you like, I know you want to" she said, pointing her fork at me.

"I'm choosing to plead the fifth" I retort, smiling goofily at her.

"Do you even know what that means?"

"Yes! I know some stuff!" I forgot I was talking to a lawyer.

"Relax, I'm kidding." She goes back to eating her food and I'm content to just sit with her doing the same.

Santana POV

I wasn't expecting to see Dani today. I had planned to call her tomorrow to apologise even if I had to leave a voicemail. We had finished eating and been chatting for the last few hours over a bottle of wine. She's so easy to talk to and it's not hard to forget that she's an internationally recognised singer. It's getting late and I know I should go to bed but it's been so long since I've felt this comfortable with anyone that I don't want the night to end.

"I should probably go and let you get some rest" she says and I can feel my disappointment radiating.

"Okay" I say and I'm pretty sure the wine has made me slightly pouty.

She smiles at me and promises to call me tomorrow when she gets a break in recording.

I walk her to the door and she's about to open it but for some reason she hesitates. She turns back to me and pulls me in to a hug. I feel like my insides are on fire and it's not from the alcohol.

She whispers a thank you in my ear and then she's out the door.

I move to my bedroom to try and get some sleep and as I lay there thinking over the past 24 hours, I realise that it was one of the best and worst days I've had in a while.
