So my house's cable and internet got shut off yesterday and It was just turned back on an hour ago. Sorry about that. For being so awesome and reviewing, I'm going to write another chapter right after uploading this and hopefully it will be done by tonight or tomorrow.
"So then she just left?" Rachel Berry asked. Santana had called her and Kurt over soon after Dani had left with Butler. She was retelling the fight they had.
"Yes!" Santana exclaimed. She was sitting on the couch and stroking Lily's head. Usually the dogs weren't allowed on the furniture, but Santana really needed the comfort at the moment. "Well actually, I told her to leave. But it's not like I meant it," she defended.
"You want to know what I think?" Kurt asked from the other side of the room where he was playing fetch with Charlie.
"Not really Lady Hummel" Santana said.
Kurt raised his eyebrow, "Then why am I here exactly?" he asked.
"Hell if I know, I only called Rachel. God knows why she brought you along," she responded. Santana and Kurt both looked at Rachel who was avoiding their stares.
"I thought I needed back-up, okay!" she cried and looked at Santana "All you said was 'Dani and I had a fight and I'm 'bout to go all Lima Heights.'" she said using her best imitation of the Latina. "I thought I would have to break you and Dani up, so I brought Kurt."
Santana looked at her appalled. "God Rachel, I wouldn't lay a hand on my girlfriend, no matter how pissed I am. Servant boy however..."she seethed.
"Ah ha", Kurt spoke up. "That right there is why Dani got so mad in the first place."
"What do you mean?" Santana asked.
"He's Dani's best friend you idiot. Calling him names and yelling about not liking him to her face is obviously going to make her mad. And lets not forget you told Dani, Butler liked her.
"But it's true, we all know it" Santana said defiantly.
"Yeah. But you told her right before Butler showed up. To Dani, it probably seemed like a last ditch effort you made up to make her stay with you." Kurt responded. At this point he stood up and walked over to the couch to sit next to Santana, a hyperactive Charlie following right behind him.
Santana thought about what Kurt was saying and decided he had a point. "I hate it when you're right Hummel."
"So what are you going to do now?" Rachel asked.
"The only thing I can do is wait for Dani to come home."
Kurt and Rachel left soon after that and Santana went to bed. It was only 11:30 but she was really tired and didn't want to wait up for Dani, who she figured would wander in around 1 am,drunk off her ass. A few hours later however, Santana woke up to use the bathroom and saw that Dani wasn't in bed with her. She looked at the time on her phone and it was 3:21am. Slightly panicking, Santana ran to the living room to see if Dani had fallen asleep on the couch, something both of them tend to do. But Dani wasn't there either. Now Santana was really panicking. She called Dani once, twice, and a third time, but the phone just kept ringing. Not sure what else to do, she called Rachel.
"Santana do you have any idea what time it is?" Rachel said in a groggy voice over the phone.
"Is Dani over there?" Santana asked, getting right to the point.
"Uhh, no. Why would she be?"
"Because she hasn't come home Rachel. She isn't answering her phone and I don't know where she is" Santana was doing her best to breathe normally but with every second Dani wasn't home, the more panicked she became. She told Rachel what had happened in the last 10 minutes since she woke up and Rachel agreed that she would stay at her place in case Dani came there. When they hung up, Santana called Dani again, but got no answer.
The next morning
"Fuck, Fuck , Fuck, Fuck" Dani chanted under her breathe as she made her way to the apartment door.
"I am in so much trouble" she thought to herself. She texted Santana saying she was alright this morning and that she was coming home right away, but she knew her girlfriend would still be pissed. When she got to the door, she took a deep breath, preparing herself, and then opened it.
The first thing she saw was Kurt and Rachel sitting on the couch, watching the morning news. Santana was sitting at the kitchen table in her pajamas, a tank top and shorts, and drinking coffee, with Charlie and Lily laying at her feet. All pairs of eyes were on her when she walked in the door, but Dani was only looking at Santana's. She could almost hear that sigh of relief come out of her girlfriend.
"Oww!" Dani cried out, suddenly feeling pain in her right arm. Rachel, now standing next to her, was seething mad.
"Okay, I guess I deserved that." Dani winced.
"You deserve a lot more than that," Rachel yelled. "Do you have any idea how worried we were about you?"
"Yes I do and I'm sorry"she said, rubbing her arm.
"Sorry isn't going to cut it, Dani" Rachel continued yelling. "We were up all night waiting for you. Kurt and I have work in a few hours and Santana, well Santana was freaking out the whole night. You did a very, very stupid thing and you-"
"Okay Rachel, that's enough," Kurt cut her off. He grabbed their stuff and started pushing Rachel towards the door. He looked at Dani. "What Rachel meant to say was, we're glad you're okay and we'll see you and Santana later after you guys make up." And then he left, dragging Rachel along with him, the tiny girl still reprimanding her as she went. Now it was just Dani and Santana.
"You're not gonna punch me too, are you?" Dani asked in a small voice, still rubbing her arm.
Santana allowed herself a small smile at that. "No. Rachel's was hard enough for the both of us." They both stood there for a moment, not knowing exactly what to say to each other. But then Dani opened her arms for a hug and Santana rushed right in and hugged her tight. When Dani heard soft sniffles coming from her girlfriend, she felt like the biggest asshole in the world.
"Shh it's okay San. I'm okay" she cooed while rubbing her hand up and down the other girl's back. Santana pulled back some, but she was still holding Dani tightly.
"Where were you?"she asked in a hoarse voice. Dani knew this wasn't the first time she cried in the last 24 hours.
"I spent the night with Butler." She regretted those words as soon as she said them. "That sounded so bad" she thought. Sure enough, Santana's demeanor went from relieved to pissed off in a matter of seconds.
"What do you mean you spent the night with Butler?"she said angrily, her arms still wrapped around Dani.
"No wait, I didn't mean it like that!" Dani said, getting flustered. "We didn't do anything. Well, I didn't do anything since I don't like guys. But then he kissed me, and then we talked-"
"He kissed you!?" Santana yelled. And just like that, she was pushing Dani away, putting on her sneakers, and opening the front door.
"Where are you going?"
"To teach Butler a lesson about kissing my girlfriend" Dani blinked, taking in Santana's appearance. "seriously?"she thought.
"Oh no you're not." Dani said.
"Are you going to stop me?" Santana challenged.
Dani chuckled. "Babe, you're in your pajamas, you don't know where Butler lives, and my car keys are on the kitchen table. So yeah, you're not going anywhere." Santana thought for a second, grunted, and slammed the door shut. Dani was right, she wasn't going anywhere.
"Look, I know I scared you last night, San," Dani said calmly, taking Santana's hand and leading them over to the table. "I was too upset to go to the concert, so we went to Butler's house instead. We were talking and he told me he liked me. Then he kissed me. But I pushed him away immediately and told him I would never feel the same way. He apologized for kissing me and we just hung out until we fell asleep. My phone was on silent which is why I missed all your calls."she explained. "I'm so sorry"
Santana was silent for a moment as she took in everything Dani was saying. "Well that's certainly better than what I kept imagining in my head all night"she finally said. Dani cringed at that. She knew Santana spent the night imagining every worse case scenario possible.
"Another thing, I know you're really tired, but I think we should talk about what happened last night too."
"I actually talked to Kurt about that and you're not the only one who needs to apologize." Santana sighed. "I should have talked to you about my issue with Serv-, er Butler beforehand. I know you like hanging out with him and it wasn't fair of me to blow up in your face like that." she said sincerely. Dani smiled
"Thank you for that. And as for me, I shouldn't have stormed off the way I did. You're my girlfriend and you come first, no matter what. I promise to stop blowing you off for Butler. He's nice and all, but I have more fun with you anyway." she said with a small smile, kissing Santana's knuckles.
"Speaking of Butler though, I was right about him liking you. I promise not to hurt him or anything, but I can't ignore the fact that he kissed you, Dani" Santana said seriously. Dani sighed. She was hoping the kiss would be forgotten.
"You're right. I won't stop you from talking, and possibly threatening him about it. Just don't scare him too bad, ok San." Dani said.
"I won't. But you know if he kisses you again, I'm forbidding you from ever seeing him again right?" she asked, only half joking.
"Whatever you say baby." Dani said, leaning over to kiss her lips for the first time since yesterday.
Santana dodged the kiss though. "Not so fast babe. I'm not kissing you until you wash off all the boy germs on those lips." Dani pouted but still went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower. When she was done, Santana was getting into bed. After being up most of the night, she was beyond sleepy.
"San, I'm going to go walk the dogs. I'll be back in a bit." she said, pulling on some sweats.
"Wait." Santana called out. "We're okay right? Like, you're not still angry about anything right?"
"I'm a little upset Rachel bruised my arm,but other than that, no. Are you still mad about something?"she asked.
"No, I'm perfect." Santana answered.
"Then yeah babe, we're okay." Dani giggled and went over to the bed and placed a kiss on the brunette's forehead.
Santana smiled back, cupped Dani's cheeks, and placed a firm kiss on her lips. "Lay with me until I fall asleep?" she asked, kissing Dani again for good measure.
"I guess the dogs can wait." she said slightly dazed. She got in the bed and spooned Santana from behind, one of her favorite things to do. Both girls were content.
"Hmm, I love you Santana," she said, kissing her exposed shoulder.
"I love you too Dani."
Review and tell me what the next chapter(a one shot) should be about.
