When You're Bored Chapter 16: Third-Date (part 2), a glee fanfic

So I finally got this done. It took forevvveer to write. And I want to say thanks for the reviews! They really keep me motivated to write and I appreciate each one. So thank you! Without further adieu, here's chapter 16.

"So what are you wearing tonight?" Kurt asked Santana as she did her makeup in the bathroom mirror.

"Why do you care, Kurt?" she asked, trying to tune him out.

"Duh, next to performing, fashion is my passion. And as your friend, I demand you let me help you pick an outfit. Tonight is going to be special right?" he teased.

Santana groaned. "Didn't I tell you and Berry to stop with that third-date rule? It's stupid and was probably made up by some horny teenage boy."

"Well regardless, I want to help pick out your outfit."

Santana sighed, Kurt may be annoying at times, but he did know fashion. "Fine you can help."

"Fantastic," he said and then left the bathroom. He came back 2 minutes later with several articles of clothing, all belonging to Santana. "Okay, so is Dani an ass or boobs kind of gal?" he asked.

Santana quirked an eyebrow. "How the hell would I know?"

"Just pick."

"I don't know, both." she said.

"Hmm." Kurt thought. "Tight dress it is. They accentuate both very nicely." He discarded half the clothes but was still holding at least 8 different dresses.

Santana smirked. "You've been checking me out Lady Hummel?"

Kurt scoffed. "You wish. Now which color dress?"

"Definitely red. Accessories?"

"Depends on where you're going." he said.

"All she told me so far was that we're going out to eat. Nothing fancy."

"Okay, I'd say no necklace, 3 bracelet maximum, and studded earrings. Though the length is really up to you."

"Gotcha." Santana finished her make-up and walked into Rachel's room to get dressed.

It was minutes to seven when Santana walked into the living room, fully dressed and accessorized. Rachel was sitting on the couch watching the news while Kurt was in the kitchen making what smelled like tea.

"You look amazing Santana." Rachel said so excitedly, you'd swear she was the one going out tonight.

"I know," she said smiling brightly.

"I can't wait until Dani gets here. I have so many things to ask her, since you uncharacteristically decided to keep your private life, private." Rachel said pointedly.

"Oh no you won't. You two are not allowed to talk to her." Santana said.

"Why not?" Kurt frowned, coming into the living room.

"Because you guys are embarrassing?" she started like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Rachel sprang for it. Santana quickly picked up a pillow of the couch and chucked it at her. It hit Rachel square in the head.

"Oww!" she yelled out and turned away from the door to look at Santana. "What'd you do that for?" she asked astonished.

"Don't you dare open that door. You and Kurt go to your rooms. Now," she ordered, leaving no room for objection. She wanted this night to be as normal as possible, and that wouldn't happen with her roommates scaring Dani off. Kurt and Rachel pouted before walking off towards their respective curtains.

"Party Pooper" Kurt mumbled as he went.

"I heard that!"

There was a knock at the door again. Santana walked quickly towards it, fussing over her hair and dress. She wanted to look perfect.

When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was a single red rose shoved in her face. "Hi, San" Dani said with a wide grin.

Santana took the rose with a smile "Hey yourself, thanks" she said looking Dani up and down. As expected, Dani was wearing her favorite leather jacket, tight ripped jeans, and high heeled boots.

"You look great. As always." Santana says.

"Thanks. You look...hot!" she said while unashamedly looking from Santana's long tan legs to her exposed cleavage. "Did I ever tell you how much I love your dresses? Cause I do."

Santana smirked at the somewhat lustful look on her face. "You been perving on me?"

"More like admiring."Dani said. Then she reached up and gave Santana a soft kiss, which was easily returned.

"Mmm, as much as I'd like to spend all night doing this, we should probably get going," Dani said, pulling out of the kiss.

"Yeah, you're right" Santana said. She went to put the rose down on the table and grabbed her own leather jacket. "Okay I'm ready."

"Great." Just as they were leaving, Dani called out "Bye Rachel, Bye Kurt!." Santana looked at her curiously, wondering how she knew they were there.

Dani smiled at her and said, "I heard you yelling at them." Rachel and Kurt poked their heads out from their curtains.

"Bye guys" Rachel said.

"Use Protection" Kurt teased. He smirked when he saw Santana face palm.

Dani furrowed her eyebrow. She didn't know what Kurt meant by that. "What?" she asked.

"Nothing! Let's go." Santana said. She grabbed Dani's hand and pulled her out the door before her friends could do anything else.

"I still cannot believe you found a Breadstix!" Santana exclaimed. It'd been months since she's been inside a Breadstix. She was beyond happy to be back in her favorite restaurant, eating her favorite food. What made it better was that Dani had found this place for her.

"Yeah, I remember you saying how much you like this place,so I looked it up. You can find just about anything in New York, it wasn't hard." she said it like it wasn't a big deal, but on the inside, she was giving herself a mental high-five. She was glad this date was starting off well.

"You're seriously the best." Santana said while popping another piece of bread stick in her mouth. "Mmm, so fucking good,"she moaned.

Dani watched her, totally amused as she poked at her spaghetti and meatballs. "You're adorable"

"I'm not adorable, I'm badass," Santana said with her mouth still full, causing Dani to laugh.

"Sure you are." She looked around the restaurant and couldn't really tell why Santana liked it so much. Yeah the food was okay, but place itself wasn't extraordinary.

"Is there a reason you like this place so much?" she asked curiously. Santana looked up from her basket of bread sticks and looked at her. She actually didn't even order anything to eat, which Dani found odd, but didn't comment on.

"I guess I have a lot of memories in this place. Well, the one in Lima obviously. Me and Brit- my friend used to come here all the time."she corrected herself and hoped Dani didn't hear her slip up. She did.

"You can say her name, Santana. I'm not going to run for the hills or anything." She had an idea who this "friend" was, but she wasn't sure.

Santana hesitated for a moment. She wasn't sure if they should be discussing her ex on a date."Her name is Brittany."she said.

Dani nodded "And she was more than a friend." It wasn't a question, Dani could tell by Santana's hesitance that she was.

"Remember that ex-girlfriend I told you about? Yeah, that was Britt." she said. She saw a flash of insecurity flash behind Dani's eyes, but the blonde quickly composed herself.

"Oh" was all she could say. "Great job Dani. Now she's going to be thinking about 'Brittany' the whole time," she berated herself.

Santana sighed. She knew something like this would happen if she mentioned Brittany. The last thing she wanted to do was make Dani feel awkward and that was exactly what was happening.

"You know the great thing about memories?" she asked Dani who shook her head no. Santana reached across the table and grabbed Dani's hand in hers. Her mind flashed back to 2 years ago when Brittany had done the same thing with her. "The great thing about memories, is that we can make new ones."

"And that's what we're doing now. Brittany was my past, but you're my present." she said honestly while giving Dani a genuine smile. "And who knows, maybe you'll be my future."

Dani's eyes seemed to light up at that. "Really? You mean that?" in a shy voice that Santana found really cute.

"Absolutely," she said, bringing Dani's hand to hers and giving it a kiss. Things went back to normal after that and they both relaxed. They talked about everything and anything for the next hour until they were ready to go. By that time, Santana had downed two baskets of bread sticks.

"Hey, it's still early. Do you wanna go back to my place?" Dani asked.

Santana tensed up. Dani's place? Where Dani's bed was? "Uh..your place?"

"Yeah." Dani smiled. "I've got something special planned for you. That is, if you want it?"

Santana's mouth ran dry.

"Sure."

Once they got to Dani's place, Dani poured them both a glass of wine and disappeared into her room to get something. That left Santana alone in the small, yet cozy living room.

"Alright, Santana. Don't freak out. You don't have to do anything you don't want to." She thought to herself.

Dani coming back into the room snapped her out of her thoughts. Santana was surprised to see her carrying her guitar. Dani gave her a shaky smile.

"What's with the guitar?" Santana asked curiously.

"Um well, I wanted to play you a song. To sorta express my feelings." Dani said nervously. "That's not weird right?"

If Dani wasn't so worried, Santana would have laughed. "Trust me, that's the most normal thing you could do around me."

Dani didn't know what she meant by that, but she didn't question it. "Alright good." she said. They made their way over to the couch and got comfortable. Dani began strumming on her guitar and soon she was singing.

"Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me when you say goodbye

Keep it sweet, keep it slow
Let the future pass and don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon into this beautiful moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me...

See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you

Run far away so I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
I can't set my hopes too high
'Cause every "Hello" ends with a "Goodbye"

Santana sat there shocked. "That was..that was...beautiful Dani. Did you write that?" Santana asked, completely blown away.

Dani blushed, ducked her head, and nodded. "It's not even finished yet."

Santana shook her head and made the blonde look at her. "Doesn't matter. That was the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Can you tell me what it means?"

Dani took a deep breath.

"It means I want us to be official," she said with all the confidence she could muster while looking Santana in the eyes. "A part of me is terrified that this won't work out and that one of us will end up getting hurt, but I don't care. You make me really happy Santana and it would mean the world to me if I could call you mine."

When Dani finished, Santana moved the guitar out of the way and rested it against the couch. Then she pulled Dani to her and placed a firm, yet gentle kiss on her lips. "Yes," she said.

"Yes?"

Santana shook her head "Yes," she confirmed.

Dani was beaming. "You're my girlfriend now." she stated, still smiling. They were so close, Santana could feel her breath on her face.

"I'm your girlfriend now." she confirmed.

They crashed their lips together again, more deep and passionate this time. This kiss was different and they both knew it. There lips moved together in sync as they got more heated. Dani took Santana's bottom lip between hers and sucked on it hard, causing a whimper to escape the girl's mouth. Then Dani swiped her tongue across Santana's bottom lip asking for entrance, which Santana gave her. Both girls moaned loudly when their tongues connected and started fighting for dominance.

Before long, Santana had Dani pushed back on the couch with their lips still attached, her hands inching underneath the girl's shirt. Dani, who was completely lost in all things Santana, moved her hands to her girlfriend's thighs and slowly started lifting up her dress. Santana let out a moan which only stirred Dani on. It wasn't until they broke apart to breathe, that they realized how out of control they had gotten. Santana's hands were so far up Dani's shirt, she was touching the edge of her bra. And Dani had both her hands on firmly placed on Santana's ass.

Dani's face was flushed, her hair messy, her lips swollen, and her breathing was trying to get back to normal. Santana thought she never looked sexier. She didn't know Dani was thinking the same thing about her.

"That was...Wow" she said breathlessly as she slid her hands out of Dani's shirt.

"Yeah..wow" Dani agreed and moved her hands off of the girl's ass. "Hey Santana?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you let me up?" She was still laying on top of her.

"Oh yeah, my bad." Santana said while sitting up. They sat there for a moment, thinking about what happened. And what almost happened.

"To think I said I would be in control" Dani muttered lowly with a small smile.

"What?" Santana said, not hearing what she said.

"Oh gosh, this is going to make me sound like a prude, which I'm not." she reached down and picked up her glass of wine and took a sip. Then she took a big breath. "It's not that I don't want to do anything with you. 'Cause I totally do. I mean look at you, you're super sexy. Which is both awesome and frustrating, mostly frustrating right now because I'm really turned on and want to rip your clothes off. But I can't because I really like you Santana and I don't want to rush anything. So can we maybe, take it slow?"she said as she finished rambling.

To Dani's surprise, Santana started laughing. "Oh great, she thinks I'm a loser"she thought. "What's so funny?"she said with a pout.

"Haha, you, me, this whole situation," she said while coming down from her high. Dani looked confused. "Let me explain. Everything you just said, is basically how I feel too. I was freaking out since yesterday because my dumb ass friends got that ridiculous third-date rule in my head."

"The third-date rule? Wow, I haven't thought about that in forever."

Santana quirked an eyebrow. "You followed it?"

"No no. I've heard about it though and I think it's stupid. There's no set time to give yourself to someone. It should be when you're both ready." Dani said simply.

"That's what I said. God, I'm so glad we're on the same page. Otherwise this conversation would have been really awkward." Santana said, relieved. Dani nodded, agreeing with her.

"So we're taking it slow." Dani said

"Yup, slow."

"Snails pace."

"Woah, let's not get crazy." Santana said. But Dani laughed so she knew it was a joke.

They spent the rest of the night talking, singing along to songs on their phones, and telling stories. Dani played her song again and even tried to teach Santana a few chords, but she insisted she wasn't musically inclined. It was a little past 1am when Santana decided it was time to go home.

"I don't want you to go yet." Dani pouted, wrapping her arms around Santana's waist and resting her head on her shoulder.

"I don't want to go yet either," she said, kissing Dani's head. They were both quiet for a moment, just reveling in the feeling of being close together.

"You know...you could just spend the night here." Dani said trying to be nonchalant about the offer, but secretly hoping Santana would stay.

"You sure?"

"Yes" she said immediately. "I mean, it's late and I'm tired. It'll be better for you to stay here and I can take you home in the morning." she reasoned. "Plus I really want to spend the night with my new girlfriend." she said sweetly.

"Well when you put it like that, sure." Santana said and gave Dani a kiss.

They got up and made their way to the bedroom. Dani pulled out two pairs of over sized t-shirts and sleep shorts for them while Santana sent a quick text to Rachel, letting her know she wasn't coming home.

"I can change in the bathroom if..you..." Dani's words died in her throat when she turned around saw Santana standing half naked in front of her. Her eyes instinctively roamed over her girlfriend's body and stopping on her abs. "Damn." Her face flushed more than it had earlier.

Santana smirked when she saw it. "Nah, I'm pretty confident about all this," she said gesturing to her body and then walked up to take the clothes from Dani's hand. She gave her a peck on the lips, just because she could.

Dani gulped. "You should be." They got dressed and got into bed, and cuddled up to each other. Even though Dani was shorter, Santana ended up being the little spoon which worked just fine for them.

"I'm really happy right now." Santana said.

"Me too." Dani agreed as she tightened her hold on her girlfriend and buried her face in the crook of Santana's neck. They were silent for about ten minutes and almost asleep, when Dani spoke up again. She had something she wanted to say and she hoped it didn't freak the other girl out.

"Santana?" Dani asked, her lips humming over the girl's neck before giving it a kiss.

"Hmm?" she said sleepily.

"I think I'm falling for you."Dani said. Santana smiled. She knew that was Dani's way of saying 'I love you', without actually saying it.

"I think I'm falling for you too."

Well that was a lot wasn't it? I really hope you guys review and tell me what you think. Did anyone catch the pitch perfect quote? I threw that part in at the last second lol. Oh and what did you think about the song part? I was hesitant about that part so I hope you guys like it. Review! ^_^
