Santana's POV
I walked into the diner the next day with Berry for our graveyard shift when I noticed Dani sitting over in the corner of the diner filling up the ketchup bottles.
"Go talk to her" Rachel said while nudging me in the arm.
"No are you crazy, I can't just waltz up to her and start talking to her."
"Sure you can you are Santana Lopez, you always are confident around everyone. I can't believe you are nervous, you are so whipped and you haven't even officially met her yet! This is so exicting and cute!"
"Shut it Berry, fine I'll go just shut up!" Then a stormed off to the direction of Dani, once I got close I stopped and tried to clam myself down.
"Hey" I said and Dani looked up at me and smiled. God this going to harder than I thought. "Do you need any help."
"That would be great thank you Santana."
"How do you know my name?" Does she read minds?
"Um, You have a name tag." Duh, what is going on with me?! "And also Rachel told me about you."
"Oh really, well I dig your name. Did your parents like knew you were going to grow to be a lesbian giving you a boy name."
Then I noticed her smile suddenly drop.
"I'm not a lesbian." Oh Shit, Shit, Shit!
"Oh, Uh. You just wear so much eyeliner. I don't..."
My heart is going 100 miles an hour right now.
"No I'm totally kidding, I love lady parts." THANK GOD! Wait did I hear that right.
"Dani is short for Danielle and no I don't think they knew." I smiled, she is quite funny actually.
"My parents are actually kind of d-bags, they caught me making out with a girl in the basement and all hell broke loose. So I grabbed my guitar and never looked back. What about you."
Shit do I mention Brittany or my abulea. I don't know.
"My parents were pretty cool, grandma not so much. I had a girlfriend and she was bi."
"Any chance of you guys getting back together." Oh shit, she looks so good with her head resting on her fist. But more importantly, is she trying to get with me. I really hope so really. I want to move on from Brittany, sure she was my first real love but I'm in New York and maybe been here with Dani is my future. So after making up my mind, I respond:
"I love her, but that's over."
"I mean it's proberbly for the best." Maybe it is. "I think you need a 100% sapphic goddess."
Oh my god her smile, her eyes, just everything. I have really lost it now, she is so perfect but I'm still so scared. After a pause I finally respond (or at least attempt to)
"Um, I think I gonna get the salt, the salt sh-shakers."
I look down at my hand and notice how sweaty it is before running off to the counter to find Rachel poucing towards me whispering so only I would hear.
"Oh My God, I am sensing some serious energy exchanges happening over there."
"No No, help me okay." Then I look over at Dani, she gives me a small wave which I'm suprised didn't make me melt into a puddle. Then looking back at Rachel I tell her the one thing that makes me even more scared.
"I'm getting that stinky panic sweat under my boobs."
"Why she's cute, she's sweet, she's gay ask her out"
"I've never been with an actual lesbain, it's been all bisexuals like Brittany or college girls trying to experiment." Importantly not telling her about that one night stand with Quinn, or would count that as twice? I don't know back to the point.
"You're scared." Oh Great. "I've never seen you scared before, IT'S SO CUTE!"
"You tell no one of this seriously" I'll warn her in a serious tone. "I think I might like her and it's terrifying!"
Then Rachel grabs my arms and whispers "Listen, she seems like a very smart girl and if she's a smart girl then she is not going to miss out on the oppurtunity to be with someone as amazing as you."
She is right but I still need more convincing I am so scared that she will reject me even though she is the one who was flirting at every chance she had.
"You're right, she's smart." I hate admitting she's right.
"Okay go clean up." Rachel said as she walked past and hit on the side of my waist to try and get me to move. I look at Dani and she is still filling up the ketchup bottles, I just shake my head and walk off to the back to start filling up the salt shakers. When I get out I notice Rachel talking to Dani, oh boy she better not be talking about me. I tried to avoid both of them till the last few minutes of our graveyard shift. I walked up to the counter where Rachel was reading something.
"Mazel Berry, Looks like you're gonna make it through your first graveyard shift without collasping. What's that?"
"The latest edition of Backstage, hot off the presses."
"Hot off the presses? What does that mean?"
"I'm over my fear of rejection." Oh Boy here she goes. "And I'm no longer afraid of failing, I'm auditioning for everything I'm remotely right for. Including but not limited to the role of Bottom at the Cape Cod Players production of Midsummer, and also Annie Sullivan's land lady in the Miracle Worker now casting at the New Jersey Theatre for the deaf." Then she picks up her magazine and walks towards the exit of the counter.
"Where do you think you're going? You still have 10 minutes and two dozen sugar caddies to caddy."
Then she leans over the counter and whispers right next to my face.
"See, I thought that was something that you and Dani could do alone." She smiles then starts to walk off to the back room. Who does she think she is?
"Okay, no, come on. You are not playing Yente the lesbian matchmaker.
"I'm so tired. I have to go home." she fans her magazine as she walks past, I try and say something but she has already walked past then I heard the voice that I tried to avoid since the beginning of this shift.
"Bye Rachel, see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye Dani"
Then I look down and see Dani smiling at me, God I love that smile. She then looked outside towards the sun.
"Aren't you heading out too?"
"No, not yet. I like to watch the sunrise over that building. I just love how the diner goes from quiet and dark to suddenly just...glowing."
"I've never seen it."
"Well stick around, we'll watch it together." That lip bite pretty much just killed me.
"Okay."
She started to play the opening chords to the Beatles 'Here Comes The Sun.' then I swore I heard the voice of an angel.
Dani: Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right, mmm...
Santana: Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
I feel as though she is the light that is pulling me out of this lonely place I have been for the past few months.
Dani's POV: (first time, weird)
Santana's voice is perfect, I mean she can really sing. I just hope that I can be her girlfriend, she is so cute and seems so sweet. I really want to be her's and her to be mine.
Dani and Santana: Here comes the sun doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun, ([Santana:] and I say)
It's all right
Dani:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ([Santana:] Aaah)
Dani and Santana:
Ahhh
Little darling
Dani:
The smiles returning to their faces
Dani and Santana:
Little darling
Dani:

Dani and Santana:

Here comes the sun, ([Dani:] and I say)
It's all right
Dani:

Dani and Santana:
Yeah yeah yeah
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (Dani: mmm...)
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (Dani:]Oh!)
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (Dani: Oh!)
(Santana: Oh!) (Dani: Ohh) (Santana: Oh!) (Dani: Ohhhh)
Oh!
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear (Dani: Yeah!)
But here comes the sun doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun, (Santana: and I say)
It's all right
Dani:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo (Santana: Oh!)
Dani and Santana:

Dani and Santana:

Dani:
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo (Santana: Bom, bom, bom, bom)
Dani and Santana:
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
I stopped Santana at my place, if all goes well I may get a kiss from a certain Latina before I enter my apartment. I really hope so.
Santana's POV.
Dani stops walking and turns around and smiles at me.
"Well this is where I get off."
"I guess that's goodbye?" I really hope not.
"For now" Then she leans up and kisses me. On the lips. I don't care if it was a peck, I swear I felt sparks for the 2 seconds her lips were on mine. This girl is driving me crazy.
"See you around" then she walks off to her apartment. I then decide after 2 minutes of thinking about that kiss we just shared that it was a good idea to walk home. On the way back to the loft I had realised I didn't have her number. Damn! I'll have to get it off her next time we have a shift together.
When I get to the loft, I don't even get a chance to put one foot in the loft because Rachel has ran over to me.
"Where have you been? Why are you so happy? OMG WHAT HAPPENED WITH DANI?!"
"Something." was the only word I said, then I walked into my room, laid on my bed and sighed. Maybe the graveyard shift isn't so bad.
I know that was long but I hoped you liked it :) Please comment on what songs you would like any of the characters to sing. And leave any feedback. :)
