The New York Life

Compromising

I don’t own the song or lyrics

-Santana’s (POV)-

I walk to my and Dani’s room I see her laying on the bed I lay behind her and wrap my arms around her. She turns around and faces me.

Santana: I’m sorry.

Dani: So am I.

Santana: I have a song I want to sing to you it’s the only way I know how to tell you how a feel.

Dani: Okay.

Dani and I sit up I get up and grab her guitar she looks at me with a confused look. I smile and start to play it she smiles.

You were in college working part time waitin' tables

Left a small town, never looked back

I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'

Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?

As we're lying on the couch?"

The moment I could see it.

Yes, yes, I can see it now.

Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?

You put your arm around me for the first time.

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together,

And there's a drawer of my things at your place

You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,

You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.

But we got bills to pay

We got nothing figured out

When it was hard to take

Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.

Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?

You put your arm around me for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

You saw me start to believe for the first time

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fight

Two-thirty AM

When everything was slipping right out of our hands

I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the "Goodbye"

Cause that's all I've ever known

Then you took me by surprise

You said, "I'll never leave you alone."

You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water

And every time I look at you, it's like the first time

I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter

She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?

We're gonna make it now

And I can see it

I can see it now

When the song is over I have tears coming down my cheeks she does too I put the guitar down. I sit next to Dani she wipes my tears away.

Dani: Thank you.

Santana: It’s how I feel.

Dani: I still can’t believe that you know how to play the guitar.

I chuckle.

Santana: Well I don’t just dance at NYADA I also take a music class we got the choice to either learn the saxophone or the guitar. I picked guitar because you play guitar.

Dani: I also play piano.

Santana: About that I was thinking that maybe you could teach me how to play piano when I don’t have work or have to go to NYADA and you don’t have class.

Dani smiles and takes my hands.

Dani: I would love to teach you how to play piano.

Santana: I was also thinking that we could do lunch every now and then. I will also make a schedule of the days that Elizabeth and I will talk.

Dani: Thank you.

Santana: We are in this together Dani we are going to be getting married and we have to compromise sometimes.

Dani: Yeah. I love you so much.

Santana: I love you so much more.

Dani: That’s impossible.

Dani kisses me and the kiss gets heated. After we make love twice I jump in the shower and get ready for my class at NYADA. I’m looking at myself in the mirror and I see Dani in the reflection she is watching me I smile and turn around.

Santana: Enjoying yourself Miss Hendricks?

Dani: I sure am Miss Lopez.

I smile and she smiles back I sit on the bed and put my shoes on she wraps her arms around me and kisses my cheek.

Santana: Well I have to get going I’ll text you when I get there.

Dani: Okay. I love you and be safe.

Santana: I will be love you too.

I get up from the bed so does she. We kiss and I walk out of the loft.

Did you like this part? I was thinking about having something happen to either Santana or Dani I just don’t know what yet. What do you guys think? *Leave Comments*
