âThereâs a first time for everything and a second time for some,â she said in a sing-song voice meant to annoy her. âOr maybe Iâm not as easy to please as your usual customers, Danielle.â Santana nodded her head towards the tip jar that was sitting on the counter. âCanât use your other bedside manner to fill that up.â Okay, so the jar wasnât overflowing with crinkled dollar bills and loose change but, hey, the day was still early. Plus, drunk people canât do math, thus, theyâre great tippers and thatâs a fact, Lima.
Her ears perked up at the implication that Dani thought she was hot. Sure, Santana was unapologetically aware of her looks â in fact, she relied on her good looks and feminine wiles to get by, but given their constant bickering, she was kinda surprised by the admission. Wait, did it count as an admission if it was only sort of implied? âYou think Iâm hot?â she shook her head, as if physically shaking the intrusive thoughts off. Â âExcuse you, no one here is getting dibs on the treats,â she waved a hand down her front in emphasis and simply acknowledged the apology with a twitch of a shoulder.
It wasnât that big of a deal and Santana was more than capable of defending herself against drunk wannabe frat bros. In fact, she was about to let Dani know exactly how much of a damsel in distress she truly wasnât when the familiar sound of the other girlâs voice pulled her from her thoughts. âWay harsh, Tai.â Reaching into her purse, she pulled out a $10 and a tube of lipstick. She slid the money across the counter and then proceeded to apply the bold color to her full pout with a smooth flick of her wrist. âEnjoy your Friday,â she trailed off, smacking her lips together with a wet pop. She propped herself up on her elbows and leaned forward, wiggling her eyebrows at Ricky, âSo, how âbout it, stud?â Santana gave an exaggerated wink, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. âActually, Iâm just gonna get some fries and a beer for my friend, uh⌠Jordan? at the back.â
Dani didnât absolutely hate it when Santana used her full name... Okay, yes, she did. The only people that called her Danielle were her grandparents and three out of the four of them were dead. Internally she cringed each and every time. But she couldnât let the other woman know, because just as she did - the other would use it against her. So, as far as she was concerned she was Danielle and she was completely fineÂ
âEven if I did call dibs, I know a couple of people - including a certain blonde - thatâd have rank over me.â She playfully rolled her eyes. After clocking out she looked back at the taller girl. âCome on!â She said as she dragged the other girl out of the bar. âI am not going to be held responsible for anything that may or may not come from this.â She motioned the length of the other girlâs body.Â
âLets go play some pool or something. Whatâre you doing here anyway? Donât you have homework to do - or a FWB to do. Something to keep the angry Latina at bay from the rest of us?â
