Short short short short short Chapter! I just like this fic sooooo much and I want to get it done. So let's see what happens here?
So it turned out that Quin's date was going to be held at her house and that Dani had to "be else where" for the time being. Dani decided to not "be else where", but to play the grand piano in the second living room that was full of instruments. Dani placed her song book down in front of her on the piano stand and cracked her fingers before she hovered them above the keys. She then began to play some scraps of music from her memory that was hidden far in her head. It was nice until Dani was interrupted by her phone buzzing in her back pocket. She grunted and pulled it out to read the text.
From Rachel- I love that song!
Dani then turned around to see a beaming Rachel at the entry way to the living room. Dani scooted over on the piano bench a little, then patting the space next to her, signalling for Rachel to sit with her. Rachel quickly got to the bench and looked at Dani smiling.
"So, I saw Santana outside. Did you finally get some lady-balls and ask her out?" Dani smiled at Rachel.
"She's here for Quin Rach. She wouldn't go for a girl like me and I don't want to be led on." Rachel frowned. Rachel rubbed Dani's back and put her head on Dani's shoulder. "She would be lucky to have you Dan and if she can't see that, then she is as blind as Quin." Dani laughed at the inside joke. Long story short, Quin crashed into a very obvious tree driving Dani and Rachel to a concert.
"So, let's play a song huh?" Dani said after a little bit of silence. Rachel clapped her hands and then they started to play Heart and Soul. But then, the two girls made it really complicated by adding extra stuff to the simple song. Rachel then decided to go get some take-out from the bestie's favorite place down the street. Dani still sat on the piano bench though, just thinking about everything so deeply, she didn't notice she was playing a really old song she wrote. She then found herself singing the words.
When she stopped, she didn't really know why she started in the first place. She wrote the song during a time which she really doesn't like bringing up at all. Dani just made a "Huh..." sound, and span around on the piano bench, noticing Santana in the entry way. Dani stood up quickly and grabbed her book from behind her. Dani nervously smiled, revealing her nervous dimples again, and awkwardly waved at the latina. Santana then quickly glimpsed at the book in Dani's hand. Santana's eyes went wide.
"Are you okay San? You look... puzzled." Santana shook her head.
"Is that yours?" Dani then looked at her hand as if she didn't know what was in it.
"Ye-" Quin then came in and noticed the book in Dani's hands. She then grabbed it from Dani.
"There's my book!" Quin then made a face so that Dani would go along with what she was saying. "...Oh right, I found it again. You always misplace it when you come in here and play the piano." Dani then gave a very convincing smile towards the girls. Santana's puzzled face then went away. Dani handed the book back to Quin and nodded.
"I heard piano playing, you play the piano too?" Santana asked looking at Dani. Dani looked at Quin who was furiously shaking her head no. Dani still went along with it.
"No, not really. Sometimes I play for Quin's singing but she plays all by ear. A talent not many have." Dani then on out, was a wing girl. It pained her a little, in her stomach. Dani brushed it off though. The best way to make these feelings go away is to ignore them and push them down, right?
