Santana woke to the vast glow of streetlights outside Dani's window, they had managed to sleep all day but it didn't really matter, they had no plans and had booked the next few days off work so that they could spend more time together.
With a deep breath Santana rolled over and wrapped her arm around Dani cuddling in close to her. She loved how the girl smelt her fruity shampoo and the strong vapor of her perfume. She felt Dani stir beneath her arm, she didn't speak in case she wasn't awake although Dani was awake and had been for a while. She turned to see Santana lying beside her still half sleeping, Dani on the other hand looked completely awake and fresh faced, bar the massive bruise still on her cheek and under her eye "well gorgeous, did you have a good sleep" Santana couldn't reply with words so a nod of her head and a sufficient grunt was enough. "Good, I'm gonna go make some coffee and something to eat, do you want anything?" Dani had started to get out of bed and was putting on a t-shirt as Santana grabbed her and pulled her back into bed "yeah I want you to lay here a little longer" Dani laughed and kissed Santana "no, I have to get up we have wasted a full day lying there, plus if I don't get up and brush my teeth my breath will soon smell like yours" Dani exited the room and Santana sat up and shouted out to the kitchen "just for that comment I refuse to leave bed today" Dani came and stood at the bedroom door with her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth "well that's your choice, I for one was planning a movie day with my girlfriend, but if she doesn't move her ass out of my bed I'm gonna not only throw a jug of water over her il have to brush her teeth for her cause there is no hope I'm kissing her until she does!" Santana jumped up out of bed and ran after Dani "your seriously slating me for bad breath, that night you stead at mine I thought you had eaten a full bulb of garlic never mind a clove!" Dani stood laughing "thank god that wasn't just me felt that way!" Santana jumped over the couch and pinned Dani to the ground "oh is that right" Santana leant down and just as she was about to kiss Dani, she turned her head "there's no hope lopez!, go brush your teeth first, I have coffee and some food cooking so don't take to long, but then again you might need that extra time!"
Santana jumped up and helped Dani to her feet "I told you before about your sarcasm!" Santana went into the bathroom and got washed and brushed her teeth, just as she was coming out of the bathroom Dani shouted over to her "foods ready, hope you're hungry" Santana walked into the kitchen expecting some toast and a bit of bacon but instead was shocked to see a full fried breakfast "what's all this for, I would have been happy with a bit of toast" Dani shrugged her shoulders "I just wanted to make you something special, you've been amazing this past few days I can't tell you how much it means to me" Santana walked closer to Dani and pulled her in for a hug "There's no need for all of this, but thanks for the effort it looks so good, thank you" Santana leaned in an kissed Dani "Mmm that's much better" Santana tapped her on the arm and they both sat down to eat.
The rest of the night was spent watching a movie. "Santana that's the first movie we have watched together that you haven't cried at" Santana hit Dani with the pillow "gosh you absolutely hilarious, you should be a comedian!" Dani laughed and turned all serious "I had considered that career path but my family didn't think id amount to much, I've always been far too sarcastic for my own good, I supposed it's a defence mechanism or maybe I just like winding people up, I have to say it's a talent of mine" Santana laughed "yeah I'm just as bad but the guys I used to know back in high school described me as more of a bitch than highly sarcastic" Dani frowned "I can't see you being the school bitch" Santana nodded taking a drink from her glass "oh yeah big time, I used to be such a bully, even to Rachel and Kurt, I don't see how they put up with me most of the time, I suppose being head cheerleader I also took up the position of head bully, I never really like it I suppose it was a way to hide my sexuality, I didn't really come to terms with it for a few years" Dani looked at Santana and grabbed her arm "im sure you've changed now though, you're not like that anymore?" Santana shook her head "no, well at least I try not to be, I would call Rachel and Kurt names but it would be harmless fun and they know it. But back in high school I used to be the super bitch everyone heated me" Dani had put her head on Santana's shoulder and had started to fall asleep. They decided to go back to bed Dani still felt a little tired, Santana of course wasn't but cuddled up next to Dani until she fell asleep, by this point it was about half 11, Santana decided to ring Rachel to see what had went on today, Santana had promised to check in every so often with Rachel.
Hey Santana, what's been going on today? is Dani feeling any better?
Hey, It's been a quiet day we didn't wake up 'til after 5pm, she seemed a bit better her shoulder was sore last night but I think it's better today she didn't take any more pain killers
Well it's good that she's sleeping, is she eating alright?
Yeah I'm making sure of it, keeping her hydrated as well the swelling on her cheek has went down but the bruise is still there
Well at least it's beginning to heal, a bruise takes a week or two to go any way
Yeah I suppose, Rachel I'm gonna have to go I think I can hear her waking up
Okay Santana call me in the morning and let me know what's going on maybe the two of you could come over and join Kurt and I for lunch
Yeah sounds great I'll let you know in the morning
Santana put her phone back on the charger, and then she heard a faint voice calling her. She rushed into the room and Dani was sitting on the bed still half sleeping "Santana where did you go I thought you'd left" Santana sat beside Dani and pulled her into an embrace "it's okay I was just on the phone, I'm not going anywhere, let get back into bed" both girls climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Santana prepared herself for the days ahead, she had to figure out what to do to get Dani to try and forget the confrontation with her dad, and maybe if she was kept busy it would just slip her mind. Santana was going to try her best even if it meant having to spend every waking moment with Dani.
