So I'm done with the whole"When You..." chapter titles. It's gotten harder to think of them. So some of you wanted Santana to confront Butler so here you go. It's not that long. Disclaimer: I don't own glee.
edit-I keep making changes to this chapter, so don't freak out if it changes every other minute.
Where are you going?" Dani asked Santana.
"Uhh, dance class." Santana lied, not looking at Dani.
"Today's Thursday, you don't have class today." she stated skeptically.
"I know that, but Taylor's been having trouble so I promised to meet her at the studio and help her with the routine." It wasn't a complete lie. Santana's new friend Taylor was in her dance class and Santana had promised to help her. She was just going to do it another day.
"So I have to go over to Rachel's by myself?" Dani whined. It had been a week since she stayed over at Butler's place and had her friends stay up all night worried sick about her. To make it up to them, Dani did each of them a favor. For Kurt, she wrote Pamela Lansbury's first original song. For Santana, all she did was take off work and have an all day sex marathon. Dani considered that favor a win/win. But for Rachel, Dani had to help her videotape "A day in the Life of Rachel Barbra Berry."
"Why does Rachel need a video like that anyway?" Santana asked, even though she could guess why.
"She wants her 'fans' to see it and get inspired or something. I don't know." Dani groaned. She loved Rachel, but there were a million things she'd rather do than help her with this video.
"Well good luck with that." Santana said, pulling on her jacket and grabbing her purse.
"You need a ride to Nyada?" Dani asked. She was in no rush to get to Rachel's and wouldn't mind driving Santana.
"Uhh, n-no" Santana stuttered. Where she was actually going was the in the opposite direction of Nyada, but of course Dani didn't know that. "I'm just going to take the bus. Ya know, so I can...walk more." she said lamely.
Dani wasn't buying whatever it was her girlfriend was trying to pull, but she didn't say anything. "Okay then, have fun" she gave Santana a quick kiss and then ushered her out the door.
"Love ya" Santana called from the hallway.
"Love you more." Dani shouted back. Then she shut the door and groaned. She had to be at Rachel's in 10 minutes.
Santana ended up going to a coffee shop about 25 minutes away from the apartment. The reason she didn't tell Dani was because she was meeting Butler there and she didn't want Dani censoring what she was going to say. When she got to the shop, she saw him sitting at one of the tables in the corner.
"Hello Butler" she said, already angry from thinking of his lips on Dani's.
"Um, hi Santana. Look, I'm really sorry-"
"Okay, stop right there." she said, going into full "bitch" mode. "For the next couple minutes, I'm going to talk and you're going to listen. Nod so I know you understand" Butler nodded.
"Good. Now let's get to the point. I don't like you, and I don't give a damn if you don't like me. Because the fact of the matter is that you kissed my girlfriend, which is not okay. And right now, all I want to to do is dangle you from the top of the Empire State Building by that disgusting lip ring you have. Like, my God, do you kiss your grandmother with that thing? I honestly have no clue what Dani sees in you. Nod so I know you understand that I hate you." Butler nodded and Santana continued.
"Unfortunately for me, my girl likes having you around, so I'm not going to end you. But if you touch her inappropriately, look at her inappropriately, or kiss her ever again, I swear I'll shove that lip ring up your ass with your head still attached to it. Nod so I know you understand."
Butler nodded and physically cringed at that. He knew Santana was going to be mad at him when he agreed to meet her, but he didn't know she'd be this pissed. He knew he had to own up to his mistake though, especially if it meant he could stay friends with Dani. When it looked like Santana was done, he tried speaking up again.
"I get that you don't trust me..or like me, Santana. And I've given you no reason to but, I hope one day you'll see I'm not that bad a guy. I won't ever make a pass at Dani ever again." Butler said genuinely. Santana was still looking at him like she wanted to shoot him though. He decided to try something else.
"For what it's worth...every time we hang out, you're all she talks about," he said, chancing a smile at her. "Dani always has the biggest smile on her face too. It's like just your name or the sound of your voice lights up her entire world. She really loves you." Butler said. He looked up at Santana and saw the tiniest smile tugging at her lips, but her pride was getting in the way. He chose to be smart and not tease her about it.
"Are you finished, because I am." Santana sneered. She was trying to maintain her HBIC look, but it was faltering after what he just said.
Butler ducked his head and nodded "Yeah, I'm done."
"Good I'm leaving. Remember what I said to you" And with that, Santana got up and walked out of the coffee shop without a second glance at Butler. She pulled out her phone and called Dani, suddenly feeling the need to be with her.
"Hey babe," Dani greeted over the phone. She was glad to have a distraction from Rachel and her annoying video.
"Hey Dan. You still need help dealing with Berry?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes! That'd be great, but what about Taylor? You guys can't be done already." Dani asked, going into Kurt's room to get some privacy from Rachel. Santana decided to tell her the truth since she was already done dealing with Butler.
"I lied, I didn't meet up with Taylor. I actually went to talk with Butler. I just didn't tell you because I knew you would make me be nicer than I was." she confessed. She expected Dani be a little upset, but to her surprise, her girlfriend just laughed.
"I already knew you were lying, San." she giggled.
"What? How?" Santana asked.
"One, you were stuttering. Two, you'd never choose paying for the bus and walking, over a free car ride with me. Unless you were up to something, which you were." Dani explained.
"Well now I know what not to do next time." she joked, getting on a bus and heading to Rachel and Kurt's place.
"I'll still be able to tell if you're lying." Dani joked back. "Now what did Butler say? You didn't scare him right?" she asked.
"I'll tell you all about it when I get there babe"she said. "Oh, but he did tell me that you talk about me a lot when you guys hang out. And that just the sound of my voice or my name can light up your world and make you smile." she said, recalling what Butler said. "Is that true?" she teased.
"Well yeah."Dani said with a shy smile on her face. "It's because I love you so much," she said honestly. Santana's heart swelled at that. The mood changed and Santana didn't feel like joking or teasing anymore. She just wanted to be with Dani, holding her and kissing her at that very moment. Too bad she was still 10 minutes away.
"I love you too, Dani."
Oh gosh, I feel so sappy now. Review please. They keep me motivated. BTW, Next chapter will be about Dani's parents.
