DANI'S POV

After I received the text message from Santana, I could not get the smile off my face. I am excited that she wants to get to know me. I really like that she seems so unfazed by my fame. I have never known anyone like her before. I cannot wait to get to New York.

I walk into the kitchen and pour myself a glass of wine. I move over to my couch and take a seat and flick on the television. I grab my laptop off the table and start looking for apartments in New York.

About an hour later I hear a knock on my door. I take my blanket off and start to slowly shuffle towards the door, "Coming!" I open the door and see Jason staring back at me.

"Jace, you have a key, why didn't you just let yourself in?"

He just shrugs, "I left it at my place."

I walk back over to the couch and make myself comfortable again. Jason pours himself a glass of wine and joins me on the couch.

Jason has been a good friend of mine since I was 14. We met our first year of high school. We became fast friends. He has been my rock through it all. He has been there for me in my darkest times, and honestly, if it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would have made it out.

I glance over at him, "Jace, I gotta talk to you about something, as my manager, but also as my friend." He gives me a look telling me to continue. "Well, I guess I will just throw it out there…I am going to move to New York."

Jason turns to face me, "Dan, what brought this on?"

I slide my legs under myself and curl into the blanket. "I just hate it here Jace. It was my dream to live in LA and sell my music, but I feel like I am losing myself again." He nods, showing me that he is following. "I just can't go back to where I was a few years ago. I need a change. Besides, I am taking time off to write and record, and I can do that anywhere."

"I understand Dani. I really do. But, answer me honestly, does this have anything to do with the chick who has been writing you for the last year?"

We sit in silence for a minute. "Maybe. I don't really know." He goes to say something, but before he can I cut him off. "I know, I know. I barely know this girl. But, Jace, there is something about her. I just can't ignore it. I want to move there for myself, but I also want to see where this…thing with Santana could possibly lead. She is different than anyone else I have ever met."

He pulls me over to him and give me a hug. "Dan, I support you. If this is what you think is best for you I am behind you 100%." He gives me a kiss on the forehead. "Want some help apartment hunting?" He smirks at me.

"Hell yeah I do! I expect you to move there, too. I don't know what I would do if you weren't there."

He laughs. "We'll see, Dan. We'll see."

SANTANA'S POV

You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though

That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco

Remember when he used to be a rascal?

I groan and roll over to find my phone and shut the alarm off. It's too early. I hate having to be up this early, but if I want to be home in time to talk to Dani it's what I have to do. I slowly make my way out of my bed and into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. Once I start the pot of coffee I head over to the bathroom to start my morning routine.

By the time I am dressed and getting ready to head out the door Rachel appears from her room.

"Hey San. Early class?"

"No. I've gotta get an early start. I am supposed to talk with Dani tonight and I want to make sure I am home in time for that."

Rachel squeals loudly and rapidly claps her hands. "Ugh, it's way to early for this. I've gotta go, Rach."

I walk out the door before she can say anything else to me. As I am shutting the door I can hear her loudly talking to Quinn and telling her about my "phone date" with Dani tonight. I just roll my eyes and head for the subway.

Thirty minutes later I make it to school and head straight to the library. I have so much work to get done today. I don't have class until 1 p.m., so I have 5 hours to get my assignments for tomorrow completed. I look around the library and see that there are only a few other students in the library this early. I pop my headphones in and turn on my study playlist.

I don't know how long I've been working but I am interrupted from my work by the loud buzzing of my phone.

From Dani: Hope you are having a good day! Looking forward to tonight! :D

I inwardly smile to myself. I look at the time stamp on the text. 12:47. Shit! I quickly pack my stuff and run down to the classroom. I arrive three minutes early to class. I unpack my things and quickly send Dani a text.

To Dani: You have impeccable timing. I was almost late for class. lol Can't wait! :)

The rest of the day runs by smoothly. I get done at school around 7:30 and I hop on the subway to head home. When I walk in the door I see Rachel and Quinn on the couch watching a movie. As soon as I close the door the both look over at me.

"Hey Santana. How was your day?" Rachel questions.

"Oh you know. The usual." I start to rummage through the kitchen for something to eat. I haven't eaten all day, and I need to make it quick because Dani will be calling soon.

"There's some left over pasta in the fridge if you want it" I hear Quinn yell from the couch. I pull it out and quickly heat it up and make my way into my room. About half way through my meal when Rachel comes into my room.

"So when are you talking to Dani?" Rachel asks excitedly. I glance down at my watch, and as soon as I do I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out and quickly read the text.

From Dani; Hey! I should be home in about 10 minutes. Would you like to FaceTime or Skype? Or would that be too weird? Just let me know.

I look up at Rachel who sees the smile forming on my face, "She'll be calling in about 10 to 15 minutes. So stay out of my room, Yentl."

She laughs and wishes me well and walks back out to Quinn. I text Dani back telling her FactTiming is fine. I pull out my laptop and start to pull up my email and assignments to pass the time. Before I know it I see the FaceTime app popping up on my screen. I quickly hit upset and try to hide my smile. I see Dani's face appear – damn she looks good.

"Hey Santana," she smiles "how are you?"

"I'm good thanks. You look really nice." I hear her contagious laughter on the other end.

"You've gotta be kidding. I look and feel disgusting. I have been running around all day."

I smile lightly. This silence is awkward. I glance down and start picking at my nails when Dani's voice brings my attention back to her.

"So you're nervous?" I chuckle. "I thought so. Don't worry, I am, too. I perform in front of thousands of people, but for some reason, being one on one with you makes me more nervous then I have ever been." She pauses for a minute. "So, Santana, tell me about yourself."

"Well, I am from Lima, Ohio. I currently live in New York and am studying pre-law at NYU. I am set to graduate in the spring. I am applying for law schools, hoping to get in." I pause awkwardly, "That's about it."

I look up at the screen and she is looking directly at me hanging on to every word that I am saying, she says, "So do you have a boyfriend in your life?"

"Nah, no. I…I am not into that type of thing, you know like…" I am struggling with my words, "male body parts or whatever."

She laughs, god, her laugh, I love it. She stops and says, "so does that mean you are gay?"

I nod my head bracing myself for her response, "well that's cool, I am, too."

I breathe a sigh of relief. And then I think back to what she says. She is gay. So I may have a chance. I realize that I am getting ahead of myself.

I awkwardly say, "Soooo what is your favorite color?"

She laughs at my question. "Blue. What about you?"

"Red." Another awkward silence.

"Why don't we play a game?" She suggests, "Twenty questions?"

"Yeah. Sure." I smile at her, "You start."

The rest of the conversation goes rather well. I find out that she is moving to New York next week. She is still keeping her apartment in LA in case she has to head back there for a while. We part ways after a couple hours of talking. We really go to know each other, even if it is on a basic level. I feel like we could really have a connection. We make promises to text one another tomorrow.

I get up and walk out of my room and into the living room. I see Rachel sitting on the couch with Quinn's head resting on her lap and she is fast asleep. Rachel sees me and places a pillow where she was sitting and heads toward the kitchen. I follow her in there.

"So how was it?" She asks quickly.

"It went really well. It was slightly awkward at first. But, it was nice. She is actually moving here next week."

Rachel gasps and jumps up and down and pulls me into a hug. "Santana! That's great! Are you going to meet her?!"

I nod my head slowly, "She told me she wants to take me out when she gets settled in."

Rachel squeals and quickly covers her mouth remembering Quinn is sleeping on the couch. "Santana, that's wonderful! I am so happy for you!"

We talk a little longer about the conversation. I told Rachel that I am heading to bed and she wakes up Quinn to see if she wants to go home. I see Quinn and Rachel head towards her bedroom. I shut off the lights in the living room and head into the bathroom. I then make my way into my bedroom and pick up my phone to see a text from Dani.

From Dani: Thanks for talking to me tonight. I had a great time. Goodnight. Xx

I shut the light off and make my way into bed. I hold my phone up to re-read the text again. I quickly type back a response.

To Dani: :D Goodnight xx

I slowly slip into my dreams with a smile on my face. This can only get better from here.
