I can only take comfort in knowing that my chapters aren't massive cliffhangers. Sorry! I've been in a funk the last few weeks and haven't been bothered with anything!

You are all amazing and I love reading every one of your reviews. Thank you! x

I was supposed to be at Santana's house an hour ago but I got stuck in traffic and my phone died. I knock on her door, hoping she's not too mad. She opens the door for me and walks away, barely looking at me.

"Hey I'm sorry I'm late, there was an accident due to the heavy snow near the studio and I got stuck until they cleared it" I walk in noticing Bailey playing with his toys underneath the Christmas Tree. We had spent the entire day together a few weeks ago setting up the apartment and I have to admit, I can't remember the last time I was so excited about Christmas. Santana's voice interrupts my thoughts.

"I was about to call Michelle to watch Bailey, I told you how important tonight is. I should've left thirty minutes ago."

"I know, my phone died I'm sorry" I move towards her trying to get her to look at me but she shrugs me off.

"I can take Bailey to Michelle's if you don't want to watch him. I know that as a celebrity you can pay people to be responsible so you don't have to, but that doesn't work when it comes to kids" I'm angry now.

"I said that I would Santana, I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to and you know it."

"Okay well, I need to leave. Bailey has already had dinner and a bath. He might want a snack because he ate dinner so early which is fine and he just needs to brush his teeth before bed. I should be back around 11." She says while grabbing her coat and heading to the door.

I'm stunned in to silence by the lack of emotion in her words.

"San" I say, trying to coerce her in to talking to me instead of at me but she's already out the door.

Great. Good to see she's not mad. I decide to just enjoy my night with Bailey. We haven't got to hang out for a few weeks because I've been so busy.

"Hey Mister, how you doing?" He grins at me.

"Good. You wanna play Den?" He asks, pointing at his Lego.

"Sure, bud."

Bailey and I played with his blocks for an hour or so before he had to get ready for bed. It was a good distraction but now that he's asleep, I'm stuck with my own thoughts, I can't stop thinking about the way Santana was with me and it ends up making me angry. She had a Christmas dinner with the heads of her company and it was important because one of them was retiring which meant it would open up a position for people to move up the ladder. Basically, Santana needs to continue to make a good impression and there's a good chance she could make junior partner. The problem is, the dinner wasn't until 730 and I got here at 6 so there was plenty of time for her to make it to the restaurant on time. It wasn't even my fault anyway. I must have fallen asleep on the couch because the next thing I know, the front door is opening.

I sit up and turn my head watching Santana put her bag on the side table and take off her coat. I'm still angry but soften slightly as I take in her beauty. She walks over towards the couch, not saying anything, so I decide I should just head home. I really don't want to fight right now.

I put my shoes back on and then grab my stuff from beside the couch before Santana speaks.

"Where are you going?" She asks, her face scrunched up in confusion.

"I'm going home?"

"Why?"

"Because you made it quite clear earlier what you think of me and I have no interest in continuing to fight with you tonight. Bailey went straight to sleep and he hasn't woken up so he should be fine for the rest of the night." I say heading towards the door.

"I'm sorry, I was so stressed out and you said you'd be here at 5 and I hadn't heard from you and I was angry at you for being late, then I started to worry something had happened to you and then when you got here it all just kind of spilled out in a bad way." She says pleading with me.

"I get that you were angry, but you were downright cold to me. Not to mention what you actually said. I can't do this anymore if you're going to throw me being famous in my face every time I do something wrong. "

"You want to break up?" She asks starting to tear up.

"I don't know" I sigh. I do know. It's the last thing I want, but she was so hurtful, I don't even think she realised what she was saying.

"Please don't go" She grabs my hand.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm tired and I really just want to go to sleep."

"Stay. Please. We can just go to bed." She begs, tears running down her face.

In this moment, I realise that even though she hurt me and I'm angry at her, I really don't want to go home and sleep in my bed without her tonight.

"Okay." I relent.

We get ready for bed without speaking; I climb in while she is still taking off her makeup in the bathroom and turn on my side away from her side of the bed. I feel her crawl in beside me and move as close as she can without touching me. I think she's scared, knowing that I'm still mad.

"I'm really sorry" She says before turning over.

I have no idea what's going to happen but I do know that I'm not going to get a lot of sleep tonight.

Santana POV

When I wake up in the morning, Dani is nowhere to be found. It's not unusual as lately she's been getting up early to run and hit the gym since they have to shoot for her album cover soon but it's Saturday. She's super paranoid about not looking good enough and she doesn't believe me when I tell her that her body is perfect the way it is. I send her a quick Good Morning message like I normally do. I'm hoping that she's not still too mad about last night. I know I was an asshole but I really didn't mean to say the things I did. When she hasn't come back or replied to me by midday, I try to call her but I get her voicemail. I realise that if I want to fix this, I'm going to have to do something big. She's the best thing to happen to me since Bailey and I can't risk losing her over me being an idiot. I send her another text, hoping she'll reply to this one.

To: Dani
I miss you. I know I screwed up and you're mad but will you please come over tonight and let me make it up to you? xo

It's about twenty minutes before I get a reply. I started to get worried that she wasn't going to talk to me at all but when I finally see her name on my screen, I get excited. Right up until I realise that she could be telling me she doesn't want to see me.

From: Dani
Okay. What time?

I waste no time in replying. I have lots to do before tonight.

To: Dani
Come over at 7. x

I call my parents straight away to see if they can watch Bailey overnight and when they agree, I get him ready and drive him over there. After a million questions from them, I get out of there and head to the grocery store to get everything I need for tonight. By the time I get home it's already 3:30 so I end up rushing around preparing our dinner.

Once everything is pretty much ready to go, I set up candles and put on some music. It leaves me with just enough time to have a shower and get ready before I expect Dani to get here.

At 6:52 there's a knock at my door and I'm glad I lit the candles before getting myself ready.

I try to calm my nerves and open the door to reveal Dani standing there looking as beautiful as ever. She's wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a strappy tie dye singlet. She may be dressed slightly casual but I try not to get my hopes up at the fact that she seems to have made an effort. Her make-up and hair look amazing but maybe I'm just a tad biased.

"Hi" I'm so nervous, I feel like it's one of our first dates again.

"Hi"

I step back out of her way.

"Come in.." She walks in then stops when she notices the candles and music. She turns towards me with a small smile on her face.

"What's all this?"

"I told you, I'm going to make last night up to you. " I take her hand and lead her to the table which I've set up for us.

"You cooked? What is it? It smells amazing"

"Chicken and quinoa. I know that you're on a health kick so I didn't want to make anything too heavy. "

"Sounds great." She smiles at me again before taking a seat.

"So uhm.. this is kind of backwards but I got these for you as well." I say, handing her the flowers that I bought for her. It's a simple bouquet of pink oriental lilies and roses, but I knew that lilies were her favourite.

"They're beautiful, thank you." She takes them from me then pulls me down to kiss me softly. Most of the tension I was holding since I woke up without her this morning leaves my body. I know we still need to talk but I'm grateful that she seems receptive to what I'm trying to do and isn't here to break up with me. I hope.

When I pull back from the kiss, I take the flowers to put them on the side table while we eat.

"I have wine but I wasn't sure if you would want any. I also have sparkling water; just tell me what you want." Great, my nerves are back.

She smirks at me and I can tell she knows how nervous I am.

"Water is good." She says.

"Okay, give me a minute and I'll grab your water. Are you ready to eat? Or do you wanna wait?"

"I'm happy to do whatever you want."

"Okay, why don't I get your water then I can get our food ready. It should only be a few minutes."

"Okay" She smiles at me again.

About 10 minutes later, we're both sitting down and have started eating our meal quietly before Dani speaks.

"This is amazing, San."

"Thanks."

We both go quiet again. I wouldn't say it's an awkward silence, but it's definitely not our normal dinner date atmosphere.

"So, what did you get up to today? I tried to call you." I ask, trying to break the silence. I know this will lead to a discussion about last night, but it had to happen sometime.

"Uh.. I went for a run and then went to the gym. My phone was still dead from last night and I didn't really think to recharge it until I got home."

"I thought you were avoiding me." It's now or never.

"I was. I mean.. Not in a bad way. I just needed some time to think. But my phone really was dead."

"Okay" I say, trying not to be offended. It's completely fair for her to have wanted time alone.

"What did you get up to?"

"Not much actually. I took Bailey to my parents just after lunch and then got ready for tonight. I wanted everything to be perfect."

"It is" She grabs my hand and smiles at me. I turn her hand over and link our fingers then run my other hand up and down her forearm.

"I know I said this last night, but I am so sorry for the way that I behaved. There's no excuse at all, particularly for what I said to you."

"You were stressed and I understand that. I was late so I expected you to be mad but you threw something way out of left field at me. And then you walked out the door."

"I know." I say, still ashamed at the way I behaved.

"I want nothing more than for this to work, believe me, but I can't change the fact that I'm famous, as much as I wish I could sometimes. I also can't change the fact that I have money.. Well I guess I could but I don't really see the point in that." She smiles at me as she says this.

"I was completely out of line. And I know that you don't shy away from responsibility. You have been nothing short of amazing with Bailey, and with me since we met you. I like you for you and I wouldn't want you to change. I honestly don't know why I said what I did but if you give me the chance, I promise to continue to make it up to you. And I will work on all the stupid things I say." She laughs at this.

"You say smart things most of the time." We look at each other smiling until I jump up to get the main thing I wanted tonight to be about.

"So I was going to wait until we finished our dinner, but we didn't get that far.. I got something for you." I hand Dani the box and she looks at me curiously. She opens it and the look on her face is one of confusion.

"What's this?" She pulls it out and stares at it.

"A key. To my apartment. I want you to know how serious I am about us and I also need you to know that I trust you. I know my words may not show that but I definitely feel it." When she looks back up at me she is grinning and there are tears in her eyes.

"Really?"

"Really" I say and she grabs my hand and pulls me in to her lap. I sit there watching her playing with the key and its key chain.

"Bailey made that key chain at day care. I thought it was the perfect use for it." I explain.

"Agreed" She grins at me again then pulls me in to a kiss.

"So you forgive me?" I ask, certain that I know the answer.

"That depends, did you make dessert?"

I laugh at the unexpected response. Lucky for me I know my girlfriend well enough to know her health kick doesn't extend to dessert.
