Chapter 6:

It was a little chilly outside, but luckily not too chilly for the two girls that were casually walking through the illuminated streets of New York.

"I didn't know you spoke Spanish," Santana remarked after a while of them just walking in silence.

"Yeah, my dad's from Puerto Rico," Dani smiled sadly.

"That's cool, both my mamì and papì are from Mexico," she smiled, hoping to lighten the mood.

"So you understood what I was singing?" Dani asked hesitantly, her eyes on the ground.

"Yes, it was beautiful and I know that you can continue to be a skyscraper, I believe in you," she told her, hoping Dani wouldn't get uncomfortable.

"Thank you," she said, squeezing Santana's hand.

"You're welcome, so did you always dream of living in New York?" she replied.

Dani surprised herself by actually enjoying answering Santana's questions; usually whenever somebody would start asking her too many questions she would distance herself. Answering questions meant setting yourself up to expectations and judgment from your counterpart. And Dani had had enough judgment in her life, so she would usually avoid situations like the one she was currently in.

"Uhm I didn't live far away from New York, so it was the smartest decision to move into the city, I guess," she shrugged "You?"

"I first came here because I didn't like what I was doing at university and I'd loved NYC the times I'd been there, so I followed Rachel and Kurt," Santana said.

"So you must have known them for a while?" Dani asked.

"Yeah, we went to the same high-school in Ohio," she replied "I hope I'm not pushing too far, but after hearing your song, I kinda wonder even more what the tattoos on your wrists stand for," she asked carefully. But no matter how careful she had been, Dani stiffened and seemed to become a little distant.

"They mean exactly what they say," she quipped, but seeing Santana's hurt expression made her realize she was being mean "I'm sorry, it's just...my past isn't something I like to talk about, I'm not ready to open up about it," she apologized. "...but one day, I'd like you to be the person I open up to," she added shyly.

Santana smiled "You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, there's no pressure. But I'd like to be that person too," she rubbed her thumb across Dani's hand that had magically reappeared in hers.

"Ugh, my feet are killing me!" Dani suddenly exclaimed, making Santana burst into laughter.

"That was so random," she chuckled.

"Yep, but it's true. I love these shoes but they're not made for long walks," she giggled.

"Well are we near your place? Cause mine is nowhere near," Santana asked.

"Oh so you'd take me home?" Dani asked in a flirtatious way. "And yes we should be there in about five minutes," she added.

"Why wouldn't I? Besides aren't you the one taking me home?" Santana winked.

"Touché," she laughed.

Dani was really enjoying spending time with Santana. She loved the silly banter they could have and still be able to talk on a more serious level. She knew that she was deeply attracted to the Latina not only physically, but also mentally. When they reached her apartment complex later, Dani found herself trying very hard to resist the urge to kiss Santana. She opened the door and Santana followed her inside the hallway.

"So I guess this is goodbye?" Santana asked, slightly disappointed that their walk was coming to an end. She was surprised when Dani suddenly pulled her close and whispered "For now."

Her mind went blank as soon as Dani's lips touched hers. Her taste was intoxicating; she couldn't stop kissing her.

Dani was in heaven; Santana had accepted her kiss and was responding just as passionately as she had hoped. Her hands intertwined in Santana's long black hair, pulling her even closer into the kiss. She nibbled on the taller girl's lower lip, causing her to let out a small moan and thereby granting her entrance. Their tongues were soon fighting for dominance and Dani felt Santana's hands move down her waist and squeezing her butt through her dress, making her squeak slightly in surprise.

Santana couldn't believe it, the girl she'd been wanting since she had first seen her was now kissing her. Dani was turning her on so much, she knew just the right ways to make Santana squirm. She never wanted to stop kissing Dani, so she decided in her head that she would make Dani hers.

Without warning a door opened and someone walked down the stairs, but Dani and Santana were too preoccupied to notice or care.

"Oh! What do I spy here?" asked Jake, nudging Alex who hadn't spotted his bandmate yet.

"Whoo! Go Dani! Get your mack on!" Alex whooped loudly upon seeing the passionate embrace that his friend was currently in. Dani, however, didn't make any move to stop kissing Santana. She simply lifted the hand that was placed on the Latina's waist to flip her friends off. They snickered, but continued their way to the front door, but not before shouting in unison "Be safe, kids!".

Dani slowly pulled away from Santana, both girls breathing heavily.

"That...was an extremely long and hot goodbye," Santana said, still out of breath.

"Agreed," she smiled widely. "Now I only need to find a way to get back at those two morons," she muttered. "I'll call you later," she then said sweetly and pecked her lips, completely changing her attitude, making Santana chuckle.

"I'll be waiting for that call," she winked, before walking out the door.
