My Heart Knows EDITING

Chapter 18

Dani

I sat at home on the sofa watching a rerun of How I Met Your Mother as I waited for Santana to get back from work, I was off today seeing as I had worked all last weekend. But I hated being home alone. It just made my thoughts wander, and sometimes they would flick between bad memories, which would never end well. I curled up into a ball and covered myself in my blanket, trying to put all my focus into the programme.

I was woken up by a loud banging on the door, I didn't even realise I had fallen asleep! I walked towards the door, rubbing sleep out of my eyes. Who would be knocking? Both San and Rachel have keys, obviously.. I mean, this is their apartment. I pulled open the door and my eyes widened at who I saw standing there, it was Santana, and she was holding the most adorable puppy I had ever seen in my life in her hands. The puppy was a golden colour, with ears that were half flopped over and it's eyes were full of so much excitement and curiosity. "San?" I asked, confused as to why she was holding this puppy. "This is for you" she stated, simply, holding the puppy out to me. I looked at her, astonished. "Are you being serious?" I asked, excitedly, she nodded, smiling. I gasped and took the puppy into my arms, it looked up at me and I immediately loved it. "Its a girl" she stated happily, smiling at me before quickly kissing me on the lips and walking off to get changed. She was acting like she hadn't just got me the most amazing present in the world! I looked down at the little golden ball of fur in my arms and grinned, now what do I name her?

I sat on the floor playing with the puppy for a couple if hours until Santana had gotten a shower, dressed and had eaten her tea. She walked over and sat beside me, "What are you going to call her?" She asked, grinning down at the puppy trying to attack it's own tail. "I'm not sure, I was thinking Skye or Ruby" I said, looking at her, she nodded, "I like them both, you go ahead and pick" she said, smiling. "I like Skye" I said, looking down at my puppy, "Hi, Skye" I said, giggling when she tried to climb up my front, "You're adorable, Skye" I said, watching her curl up in a ball on my knee, and quickly fall asleep.

Santana brought a load of dog stuff the day she got Skye so she brought all that in and put it in my room, since Skye would be in there. She has a blue dog bed, which matches her name. She has some toys, two bowls, loads of food and a lead to take her for a walk, considering Santana got her at an age where she had been vaccinated and so she was allowed outside. I walked over to her sat in the corner and picked her up, taking her into the kitchen and placing her in the big wire cage San bought for when we went anywhere so Skye wouldn't wreck the house. It was a big cage, taking up half the kitchen, and it was full of toys and food and water, so she wouldn't get bored or hungry. I had only had her a couple of days but I had gotten so attached to her! I placed her in the wire cage and walked off to find Santana.

No surprise that she was still sleeping. I slowly climbed onto her bed and straddled her waist, I leaned down and kissed her lips lightly, causing her to stir but not wake up, I placed a hand on her neck, feeling her skin heat below my touch, causing me to smile. I then leaned down again and placed another soft kiss on her lips, waking her up this time. "Good morning gorgeous" I said, inches away from her face. "Morning" she said, sleepily. "Aw baby, someone is tired" I said, smirking, "Mhm" she confirmed, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Do I need to wake you up, baby?" I asked slowly, causing her eyes to shoot open and stare at mine. "I think so" she said, not taking her eyes off mine. I slowly leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Are you awake yet?" I said, winking at her, she shook her head, laughing. I rolled my eyes and pinned her hands to the bed. I pressed my body against hers and kissed her lips hard, "How about now?" I asked after a minute, she nodded, her eyes wide. I smirked and hopped off the bed. "Get up, lazyass." I called over my shoulder as I walked back towards the kitchen.

Santana

"Dani" I called through the apartment, no answer. "Dani! Where are you?" I called a little louder, still no answer. "Danielle!!" I shouted, only to be answered with silence. I sighed loudly and threw my keys down on the counter and shrugged my jacket off, placing it on a chair. I pulled my boots off and threw them against the wall near the door to the apartment. Only to nearly hit my girlfriend in the process. "Woah, wha-" Dani said, stumbling backwards in shock, "sorry baby" I mumbled and walked off towards my room. I started to change and I heard Skye's cage click and footsteps come towards my room. She pulled back the curtain and made her way over to me, I was sorting my hair in the mirror. She grabbed my waist and spun me round to face her. "What's wrong?" She asked, concerned. "Nothing" I said plainly, turning back around. She huffed and folded her arms. I stared at her reflection in the mirror, her actions making me smile. "You're such a child" I said, chuckling, she glared at me, "just a bad day babe, nothing else" I promised, she nodded, wrapping her arms around my waist and  hugging me. She placed a light kiss on the back of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine and left my room.
I feel horrible for lying to her. But I can't tell her the truth yet. I pulled on a pair of shoes and a hoodie and switched off my bedroom light, I was about to leave when my phone rang, I cautiously picked it up and answered it. "Hello?" I asked, there was no answer, "hello??" I asked again and I got an answer, I knew immediately who it was with two words.
"Hello, Santana"
