None Of Their Business

by LDLRaine

Summary:

Megan never expected the invite; she didn't think she would ever be at a place like that.

 

She hadn't wanted it. It was never something she had dreamed of. But there she is.

 

She's there because of Daniela. Maybe she underestimated how important she was to her. And Dani seems hellbent on showing her.

Notes:

I didn't feel like editing that much tonight, so ignore the mistakes!

Chapter 1

 

...

 

 

Megan hadn't expected the news, well part of it at least. Some of it wasn't a surprise to her at all, some of it made her rethink what she was doing with her life. Not in a bad way, just in a way that she needed to basically reinvent herself for an event like this.

 

 

 

She knows that probably means her self-identity is pretty filmsy. But it's quite the opposite, the exact opposite in fact. She's so confident in herself (or unconfident depending on who you ask), that she knows that she basically has to change a lot about herself.

 

 

 

Just for that night at least. Megan knows that she can't just show up however she wants. Things like this require thought out planning and things of the such. Which meant she needed time, something she had been graciously granted. But now that she thinks about it, certainly hadnt felt like enough.

 

 

 

She remembers the day when she was given the news, the same as everyone else. Sure, it was big, but Megan hadn't expected it to reach her, not to the magnitude that it had. Really, she wasnt expecting it. It doesnt seem like that was the case for Dani.

 

 

 

Well of course Dani was expecting the first part of the news; she was aware of her talent. Megan would be quite offended if she wasnt, especially when she's pretty sure she's Dani biggest supporter. At least in her personal circle; Megan was sure of that fact. How could she not be when she saw it every night she stepped on stage with Dani?

 

 

 

She remembers the first day she did, or maybe more accurately night. She thought she was already nervous enough seeing Dani practice, run routines hundreds of times in an attempt to get all the moves perfect. Megan had already been immensely nervous about failing or fucking up on her first performance and potentially making Dani look bad. 

 

 

 

She was surprised she hadn't, especially since she was ten times more nervous when she had actually had the opportunity to see Dani perform on a live stage. She was already wowed enough to see her in the practice studio, commanding an audience that wasnt even there, gaze sharp in the mirror like she was looking out a crowd. But that soon felt like nothing as Megan looked on from backstage for the first time.

 

 

So she thinks her fear of messing up motivated her to dance her hardest, just to make Dani's hard work pay off. Sh couldnt be the only one messing up. She guesses it paid off because everyone noticed; noticed how much she energy she approached the stage with, noticed how precise she was, hitting every mark. They noticed. And maybe Megan had wanted them too.

 

 

 

Dani noticed. So maybe Megan shouldn't have been surprised with the news Dani broke. Well not really news since it was private. More private than it should've felt between a back up dancer and a rising pop star. Megan should've known then.

 

 

 

It couldnt have even been that now that she looks back at it. In fact, she should've known that Dani had never wanted it to be just that. She just didnt let herself think that; that wasnt even a possibility for her. It could never be.

 

 

 

She thought that Dani had just kept her around for all these past two years because she was a good dancer, reliable and about to keep up with Dani, because she would get Dani where she wanted to be, because she elevated Dani's performance. Which she does, but she just thought that was all that there was to it.

 

 

 

She tried not to cling to the late nights in the studio with just the two of them. She tried not to think about all the pep talks and pick me ups Dani gave her before the show. She tried not to think about when Dani came to her for the same. She tried not to think about the late night calls she got from Dani. She tried not to think about all the pictures the laughs they shared. 

 

 

 

She couldn't think anything more of the duets on stage, preforming in front of hundreds, thousands of people even though it had only felt like them. She couldn't think about the times when it felt like Dani grabbed at her arm to pull away for a conversation like she was trying to mark her arm. She couldn't think about the soft whispers Dani had spoken into her ear while they were dancing. She couldn't think about her hands on Dani's skin; her waist, her arms, her hip. She couldnt think about Dani's on hers: her neck, her hand, her elbow, her thigh. It wasn't anything because it was dance, a routine, nothing else. 

 

 

 

She couldnt think about it because that's what happens when you get close to someone. They were friends; it was inevitable with how much they were around each other, with they way Dani had to trust her because of their work relationship. It wasnt anything but that to Megan because it couldn't be anything else. She couldn't be anything else to Dani. So those moments, she didnt allow herself to think too much into it, because there wasn't anything to think into.

 

 

 

Dani did this with everyone. Ok, maybe not now that she looks back. She was never as touchy with everyone. She didnt know as much about any of the other dancers. She never looked at them as much as she did with Megan. She didnt talk to them like she had talked to Megan. But that was natural; they didnt spend as much time with Dani as Megan did. That's the only reason they are the way they are. At least, that's what Megan thought. 

 

 

 

 

She should've known that Dani didnt just pick her because she was the most comfortable with her. She should've known that Dani didnt just pick her because she was always the one two steps behind Dani on stage, the one who always caught her. It had never felt that simple, and Dani had only proven that to her. Time and time again it seems. Megan had just ignored it. Until she couldnt anymore. Didn't stop her from trying that day.

 

 

She remembers it as well as much as she remembers anything else, maybe even more than other things. How could she not given with how big it was, for Dani, for everyone on her team and her side? How could Megan not remember when Dani had been so excited?

 

 

 

It surely didnt start out as a memorable day. Or maybe it did; Megan didnt remember a lot before that, not when the rest of the day was so crazy. It had started off like every work day did: just lounging around in the studio until the real work started.

 

 

 

 

"You know you guys dont have to go all out yet right?" Yoonchae questions rhetorically, referencing the sweat already sticking Megan's hair to her forehead.

 

 

 

"And I still dont know why the staff let you in here." Megan mutters under her breath,stretching out her legs.

 

 

 

 

"Because you're Dani's favorite; how many times do I have to say this? Privileges extend to me because she notices that I'm the best friend." Yoonchae points out, leaning against the wall.

 

 

 

"I am not, how many times do I have to say that?" Megan denies, the blush on her face definitely because of her warm up and not the reminder she keeps hearing.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah sure if you say so. I'm gonna go, looks like they have news for you guys." Yoonchae gestures, a nod to the door opening.

 

 

 

 

"How can you tell?" Is she bad at reading the room, because everything seems normal, especially Dani. She looks pretty today. Megan liked seeing her barefaced in the morning, all soft looking without her intense makeup that's she's made her staple. It feels more intimate, for all of them. Not just Megan. Is she getting off track; it feels like she's supposed to be talking about something else.

 

 

 

"You know, for how much you look at her, you would think you'd be able to tell." Yoonchae chuckles, glancing at Megan's obvious staring.

 

 

 

 

"Tell what?" All she can tell from here is that Dani looks as good as she always does.

 

 

 

"Tell me later." Yoonchae says before making her exit. Weird.

 

 

 

 

"Is there something going on today?" Megan leans over to ask another dancer who was warming up.

 

 

 

"Wouldn't you know?"

 

 

 

 

"Why would I?" Megan questions in confusion. Why does everyone think she knows so much?

 

 

 

 

"Dani tells you everything. Thought she'd tell you if something was going on." Does she really? Well, she does, but it isn't solely to Megan. And that certainly isnt the case now if something is happening

 

 

 

 

"No she-"

 

 

 

 

"Listen up everyone. Dani has some news for you all." Sophia, Dani's close friend and manager quickly gets the rooms to quiet down in their chatter. She sure knows how to command room. Everyone standing besides Dani does, just in different ways.

 

 

 

"Jeez, don't make it sound so daunting Soph." Lara besides her says.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah lighten up." Manon chuckles.

 

 

 

 

"Guys, you're spoiling it, let me talk." Dani laughs, rolling her eyes playfully 

 

 

 

 

"Alright, alright, floor is yours." Sophia says, gesturing for her to step forward.

 

 

 

 

 

"Ok, so this is something I've known for a little while and they're finally letting me tell you guys." Dani begins, the tension in the room now much higher with the wording of her announcement. Is it good, is it bad? Both?

 

 

 

"We haven't put a gag order on you, calm down." Sophia mutters exaggerating Dani's words.

 

 

 

"That's sure what it felt like. Anyway, let me just spit it out before I explode from excitement." Ok, that means it's good. Megan isnt stressing anymore.

 

 

 

"Pretty sure you've already done that." Manon says with a teasing smile on her face.

 

 

 

"Ok, maybe I have. But who wouldn't when you find out you're going to the VMA's." Well no wonder Yoonchae thought something was up; this is huge!! How had Megan not noticed? Does matter now; all that matters now is that the clap as loud as they can.

 

 

 

Megan doesnt really care that she's the loudest or the first. This is so big for Dani. It's nice that she's getting recognition like this, especially when Megan knows she's deserving of it. So yeah, she doesnt mind that her hands are a little red by the time they finish clapping.

 

 

 

"Thank you, thank you. I couldn't have done it without you guys though. Group hug!" Dani exclaims. This is the part Megan thinks she likes about Dani the most; how she really appreciates them, recognizing that they contribute to the success too.

 

 

 

So yeah, maybe Megan's cheeks feel tighter from all the smiling. She thinks she looks happier than Dani. Well, she did say she's had to hide it. She wonders how she did all of that without slipping up.

 

 

 

"For celebration I think we should have short rehearsals today! How does that sound?" Well, everyone certainly agrees and immediately lift their spirits again.

 

 

 

"And dinner. Definitely a dinner." Dani adds, chuckling at the happy murmers that spread around the room. A quiet hum of happiness floats through the room as Dani looks around at all her team members, looking immensely grateful for them.

 

 

 

Megan feels her cheeks pinch up once Dani looks at her. The smile feels like it's meant just for her. Like it means more to Dani that Megan is here along with them. For only a split second though; Megan lets the thought slip away from her grasp once she realizes how ridiculous it sounds.

 

 

 

"We'll start in ten. Dont over stretch." Dani says, announcement not sounding as draining as all the others that signal the start of rehearsals.

 

 

 

 

"Can you believe-" Megan doesnt mean to tune out the rest of the sentence of whoever was beside her, she just had more things to worry about. Once she looks at Dani again from across the room, the slight tilt of her head, gesturing for Megan to follow her out the door, makes her lose all sense of her surroundings.

 

 

 

She's pretty sure she excused herself. She hopes she did; that would've been a little rude if she just left without letting them know. Oh well, Dani needed her, something Megan has found herself wanting more often.

 

 

 

So much so that she didnt even bother to make sure her exit from the main stuido room didnt look too suspicious. Maybe that's why everyone thinks Dani tells her everything. Well she does tell her things that she doesnt tell her anyone else.

 

 

Like the little dressing room bathroom no one knows where they meet it. She gets it; Dani wants a space to herself for once. It isnt weird that Megan is the only one who knows about it. Dani just uses it when she wants to get away for a little; of course, management knows about it, but not the other dancers.

 

 

 

Which is why Megan should've paid more attention to the studio's door slamming behind her; she knows Dani treats the space like it's sacred. But she doesnt want to keep her waiting.

 

 

So she forgets all about it as she opens the door handle into the small private room. Dani is already there, leaning against the small sink turned towards the door like she knew Megan would come running. Which she does because they always come here; when Dani needs a breather, or Megan, or at the end of the day when they're just too tired to move.

 

 

 

"Hey." Megan says a smile on her face as she closes the door behind her. She tries not to squirm as Dani eyes her walking in. Her gaze looks smug for some reason; looking at her like she's proud that Megan came without her even asking.

 

 

 

Dani doesnt say anything back, not that she needs to. Megan knows what the look in her eyes means. Plus, the way Dani pushes her hair out of her face is greeting enough for Megan.

 

 

"Where are your glasses?" Well, not what she expected as a greeting but she'll take it if it means she gets to stand this close to Dani. She tries not to focus on the graze of Dani's fingers on her abdomen when she reaches out to pull Megan closer by the hem of her sweatpants.

 

 

She certainly doesnt mind the subtle scolding as soon as she steps into the bathroom if it means that Dani will pull her closer with her hand grabbing at her chin, examining Megan's face as if something was missing. 

 

 

It's normal; Dani is just used to seeing her a certain way and she doesnt this morning. Megan doesnt take it as anything but that. Her body doesnt though; it never does when Dani does that when they're alone. She always tries to tell her stupid stomach to stop reacting as if Dani will pull her in and kiss her or something. She definitely wouldn't do that.

 

 

 

"Uh, I just didnt wear them today. I dont really need them, so I dont wanna accidently break them." Megan gulps, trying not to twitch at the fact that Dani's nails dig into her chin.

 

 

 

"You know I'll just get you another pair if you do." Dani hums, rubbing the tips of her fingers into Megan skin, making her bite the inside of her cheek.

 

 

 

"You-you dont have to do that. I really dont-" She hates stuttering around Dani, but she doesnt exactly make it easy.

 

 

 

"I know, I'm just telling you I would. You understand?' Megan's clothes feel like they stick even more to her skin at Dani's tone of voice.

 

 

 

"Yeah, I do." Megan nods, looking into her eyes. She feels as though she'll faint. Did the room suddenly get smaller?

 

 

 

"Good, just wear them next time, yeah?" Dani hums out as she releases Megan's chin.

 

 

 

"Yeah, ok. I will." Megan mutters, palms feeling sweaty.

 

 

 

 

"Hmm, I know you will." Dani says knowingly, leaning against the sink.

 

 

 

"So... can I congratulate you now? You know on the vma invite?!" Megan suddenly remembers, the moment of tension passing between them and her excitement spiking back up.

 

 

 

"Of course, why'd you think I called you in here?" Dani chuckles, bringing her arms up to wrap around Megan's neck.

 

 

 

"I'm so proud of you. That's crazy, can you believe it. I'm so exited for you." Megan murmers out as she pulls Dani into a hug.

 

 

 

"Yeah I can tell. But seriously no, it's insane." Dani chuckles, the sound vibrating against Megan's skin.

 

 

 

"Insanely deserved." Megan adds on, squeezing Dani before she pulls away from her..

 

 

 

"I couldn't have done it without you, you know." Dani says softly, arms still hung around Megan's neck.

 

 

 

"Yeah, I think you could've." She seriously believe so, that's just how much she thinks of Dani.

 

 

 

"Well I'm glad you think so." Dani chuckles, backing away from Megan 

 

 

 

"You could've just hugged me out there you know." Megan doesnt know why she had to pull her in here to do that.

 

 

 

"I didnt want to. I wanted to do it in here." Dani says firmly, in a way that Megan knows that she isnt supposed to ask more questions. Did she say something wrong?

 

 

 

"Ok, is that it?" She didnt mean to ask. It's not like she wants to leave; she'd stay in here with Dani the whole day if she could. But this certainly isnt helping the Megan is the favorite agenda. And Megan would rather not add fuel to that; she likes to be as professional as possible.

 

 

 

"You running away or something?" Dani asks with a raise of her eyebrow.

 

 

 

"No, no. Just..." Megan cuts herself off once she feels Dani reach for her hand. The warmth on top of her own makes her lose her train of thought.

 

 

 

"Good cause I wasnt going to let you." Why did she have to say it like that? And look at Megan like that when she said it? That really doesnt help the delusional thoughts she's already having.

 

 

 

"Sorry?" She doesnt know what she's supposed to say; she kinda malfunctioned.

 

 

 

"I know. Dont scare me like that though." Dani says with a frown on her face. Megan doesnt understand; did she do something wrong. She didnt mean-

 

 

 

 

"I didnt mean to-"

 

 

 

"I know. I was being dramatic. You know I just dont know if I could do this without you, or if I want to." Megan tries not collapse after Dani's sincere declaration. Dani's hand clapsed around hers certainly helps. Megan gulps and glances at the thumb Dani uses to caress Megan's hand with. She cant speak, she doesnt know what she can say after that.

 

 

 

"Actually there is something I wanted to ask you too." Dani says, glancing back up at Megan

 

 

 

"Yeah what is it?" She'll probably say yes, especially after if seems that she had upset Dani; she needs to fix it.

 

 

 

"I want you to come with me." 

 

 

 

"Come where?" Megan is lost, missing a couple of points. What's she talking about?

 

 

 

"To the VMA's. I can bring a plus one. And I want you to be my plus one." Oh, oh. That's why she wanted her to come in here?

 

 

 

 

"Oh. Uh I dont know." She knows she performs for a living, but this is different. Cameras to catch fifty different angles of you just talking. Paparazzi, other celebrities; Megan never really thought of herself being in that kind of environment.

 

 

 

"You'll be with me the whole time." She could've worded it the other way around, but maybe Dani knew just as much as Megan that it sounded better that way. Megan with Dani, sat next to her, holding her hand the whole night. It made her rethink it just for a second.

 

 

 

"I dont think I... It's not my scene." Megan stutters

 

 

 

 

 "Ok, ok. Then... just come to the after party with me. I want you with me on my big night." She really is insistent on Megan going; she wonders why. Especially since she can just take someone else; Megan is just the back up dancer.

 

 

 

"Uh, you could just take someone else. People will-"

 

 

 

 

"You care about that?" Dani cuts her off, voice cutting through Megan's without her even yelling. It feels like she's doing everything wrong.

 

 

 

"Uh, no. No, I just, you know people will make shit out if nowhere. And I dont know if you want that with... me." Well the way she worded it made it sound like they were dating it something. She didnt mean it like that. She just didnt want Dani to get attention for something she didnt want attention on, when there was nothing going on.

 

 

 

"It's none of their business. I dont care what they have to say, unless you do. Do you?" It sounds like Dani wants a specific answer and that she's confident she'll get it. Well, Megan cant let her down can she?

 

 

 

"No, no. I dont. Just looking out for you." Megan responds softly, avoiding Dani's gaze.

 

 

 

"I know. But I got it." Dani hums, running her hand up Megan's arm. She wonders if Dani can feel the goosebumps raising on her arm.

 

 

 

"I-I know." Megan tries not to lean into the touch of her nails on her arm, but she cant not. She only leans closer to Dani.

 

 

 

"Then come for me yeah?" For Dani? Well when she puts it like that, how can she say no? Actually she doesn't say no to Dani a lot. No point in starting now.

 

 

 

"Yeah, yeah. I'll go. To the after party or whatever." Megan nods quickly. She didnt even think about saying no after that, no way.

 

 

 

"Good, thanks. I really want you there." Dani smiles victoriously before leaning up to kiss Megan on her cheek. That's normal too; Dani is affectionate. Especially to her friends. So Megan tries not to hold onto the fact that Dani reaches a hand up to cradle the other side of Megan's face, her other hand on Megan's shoulder. Megan tries not to make a big deal of the fact that her hand naturally goes to the small of Dani's back. It's normal.

 

 

 

 

"Well I wouldnt miss out then." Megan mumbles, trying to ignore the blush on her cheek. She wonders if Dani is wearing any lipstick and if it left a stain. She's just curious as to what it would look like. 

 

 

 

"No you wouldn't. See you out there." Dani bids a farewell, her hand trailing along Megan's shoulder as she walks out.

 

 

 

Well, what is she going to wear?

 

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

"Wait, wait. Run that by me again; you got invited to the VMA after party and you're just telling me now!" Yoonchae exclaims, almost pushing herself off of Megan's couch.

 

 

 

Ok, she actually has a good reason for that. One, she didnt know if Dani wanted to change her mind or something. Two, what if Megan wanted to back out herself? This wasnt something she did often, what if she couldnt? She didnt want Dani to be disappointed or anything, but she's sure she could just ask someone else if she really wanted company. Plus, what if Megan couldn't find anything to wear?

 

 

 

So yes, the one week that she hadnt told Yoonchae didn't seem that dramatic to her. But she guesses it's the real deal now since Dani hasn't indicated that she would be changing her mind any time soon.

 

 

 

"It wasnt really a big deal." Megan mumbles the lie under her breath, tossing another box of clothes that didnt seem appropriate for the occasion.

 

 

 

"Yeah ok, that's a lie. Dani invited you when she could've invited anyone else." Yoonchae points out.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah ok, but it's probably because of what she got nominated for; it's literally the performance we did the duet in. It makes sense." Megan rationalize. There's no other reason Dani had invited her.

 

 

 

"Yeah but what doesnt make sense is you going. You dont go anywhere that you dont know more than two people." Yoonchae says

 

 

 

"Ok whatever. Was I supposed to say no?" Literally, what was the solution?

 

 

 

"Um yeah. That's actually exactly what you were supposed to do." Yoonchae chuckles at the fact that Megan feels like that's not even a possibility.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah no." Megan scoffs

 

 

 

"Yeah because you cant say no to her. You just follow her like a dog on a leash." Yoonchae teases.

 

 

 

"No I do not." What was she supposed to say; yes. Yeah I do and she pets me too. Well Dani doesn't, Megan doesn't expect her to. That's because Megan definitely does not follow her around.

 

 

 

"You so do. You're just too blind to see it." Yoonchae hums

 

 

 

 

"I do n- Hold on that's Dani." Megan cuts herself off and reaches for her buzzing phone in her pocket.

 

 

 

"And I'm supposed to believe that you're not?" Yoonchae questions as she raises her eyebrows.

 

 

 

"Shut up." Megan mutters, walking into her room so she can get away from Yoonchae, before answering the phone.

 

 

 

 

"Hello?" Megan speaks into her phone as she closes her bedroom door.

 

 

 

"Hey, you didnt pick up on the second ring; I didnt interrupt right?" Does she usually answer the phone for Dani on the second ring? She hadnt noticed.

 

 

 

"No, just trying to get away from Yoonchae." Megan says with a shake of her head even though Dani can't see her.

 

 

 

 

"Hmm, you busy?" 

 

 

 

 

"No." Well she was, she had been for hours. She had been trying to find something for this after party she had agreed to go to. It might be helpful if she asked Dani the dress code or something, but she didn't want to come off as thinking to much about it. So yeah, safe to say that she was struggling. 

 

 

 

But she was never too busy for Dani. This could wait.

 

 

 

"Cool, I'm outside." Dani says like Megan is supposed to fill in the dots after that.

 

 

 

"Ok... do you want me to come outside?" What is Dani here for anyway?

 

 

 

 

"Duh, what else would I call for Meg?" Dani says with a chuckle

 

 

 

 

"Right, ok. Just give me a couple of-"

 

 

 

 

"I can just go. If you're too busy." Megan hates when she does this because she knows where this will end. She hates when Dani acts all dejected like Megan will say no and she knows she won't. Maybe Dani just likes the reminder that Megan won't say no.

 

 

 

"No, no that's not. Just gotta put some clothes on. I'll be down in like two minutes." Megan rushes out

 

 

 

"Alright, I'll see you then." Dani says before hanging up.

 

 

 

"See... you." Maybe Yoonchae is a little correct about following her like she's on a leash, because she definitely wouldn't be leaving her living room a mess.

 

 

 

"Where are you going?" Yoonchae asks after Megan emerges out of her room after putting some clothes on.

 

 

 

"Dani's outside." Megan says as if that's an adequate answer to her question (which it is in Megan's head)

 

 

 

 

"Right, not a dog on a leash." Yoonchae says smugly

 

 

 

" Shut up. I'll be back... whenever. You can stay over." Megan says, grabbing her house keys off the counter before heading to the door. She has no long they'll be or even where they're going, so she grabs her keys just in case.

 

 

 

 

"I hope you're not expecting me to clean all of this up." Yoonchae says as she raises her voice.

 

 

 

"Of course not. But it would be nice." Megan jokes before she closes the door behind her.

 

 

 

She tries to refrain from running down the steps of the apartment building, but she hates keeping people (Dani specifically) waiting. So she has to catch her breath a little as she sees Dani outside, sitting in her car.

 

 

 

"Hey." Megan greets as she pulls open the passenger door. It's easy to settle into the passenger seat next to Dani; Megan has been in it more times than she can count. Not like that; Dani just likes to be spontaneous and brings Megan along when she does. So it's not awkward at all when Megan turns her body towards Dani as she sits dowm.

 

 

 

Instead of greeting her with a reply back, Dani reaches across the console to wrap her arms around Megan. She squeezes her as if she hadnt seen her just two days ago.

 

 

 

"Well I missed you too." Megan jokes, arms reaching down to wrap around Dani's waist.

 

 

 

"Shut up. What were you doing?" Dani asks, her hand slipping up to scratch Megan's scalp. She loves when Dani does that.

 

 

 

 

"Nothing much. Just... getting rid of some old clothes." Which wasnt entirely false. She just would rather not have Dani know that she was freaking out about this thing.

 

 

 

 

"All your clothes look good on you, you shouldn't." Dani hums, rubbing her fingers against Megan's neck, making her hands clasp down on Dani's waist. Which is bare, Megan notices. Dani really doesn't wear shirts that cover her whole torso.

 

 

 

"You haven't seen me in all my clothes." Megan mutters, her face nudged in Dani's neck

 

 

 

"I've seen enough. Keep them, or give them to me." The second option sounds appealing, really appealing. Dani in one of her shirts or-

 

 

 

 

"Ok, I will." That's all it takes for Megan to say yes.

 

 

 

 

"Good, I expect a haul of clothes delivered at the next rehearsal." Dani jokes, at least Megan thinks so, as she pulls away from Dani.

 

 

 

 

"Delivery coming up. So, what were you doing around here?" It hits her that Dani had just happened to be over here.

 

 

 

"Just... driving by. Then I passed by and wanted to see you." Megan doesn't know why her heart leaps the admission.

 

 

 

"So, what are we going to do?" Megan asks, head turned towards her mirror so Dani couldn't see the blush on her face.

 

 

 

 

 

"Right, so I had the big grand idea to get you something styled, you know to wear. Lara is doing it for me, so I thought why not get you something too." The gesture seems way to grand for her to accept. She knows she should; Dani probably knows how to dress to these things better than she does, but still it doesnt feel right.

 

 

 

"Oh you really dont have to do that. I'm sure I can just-"

 

 

 

"Come on Meg. Let me." Dani says with that pout on her face that Megan cant say no to. Plus, it doesnt help that Dani puts her hand on Megan's thigh.

 

 

 

"Alright fine. Only because I trust your fashion taste." Megan mumbles, eyes glued to Dani's manicured hand on her clothed leg.

 

 

 

"Great, you're gonna love some of the things I picked out. Promise." Megan is glad she accepted no that she can see the huge smile on Dani's face.

 

 

 

"You exicted?" Megan asks, hoping the smile on Dani's face brighten at the question 

 

 

 

"You have no idea. You love how to party; I cant wait to-"

 

 

 

"I meant the award show itself Dani." Megan chuckles at the misunderstanding 

 

 

 

"Oh, yeah that too. I'm excited for that." 

 

 

 

"I am flattered that you thought of me first though." Megan teases, tapping on Dani's leg playfully

 

 

 

"Well of course I thought of you first." Dani says like obvious. She's got to stop saying things like that.

 

 

 

"Careful, I'm gonna think you have favorites." Megan means it as a joke; of course she does. She's been hearing about it ever since she and Dani got closer.

 

 

 

"Maybe I do." She's gonna pretend she didnt hear that. She's gonna pretend that Dani didnt lean over to whisper that in her ear. 

 

 

 

 

"I'd ask you to watch if I was performing. You're so lucky we dont; they'd have us doing choreo until our legs fell off." Dani says, finally putting the car in drive.

 

 

 

"I'm watching anyway, just in case you get flashed across the screen for like two seonds." Megan says playfully 

 

 

 

 

"I dont know why I thought you wouldn't. You dont have to though. Just the interviews." Dani chuckles

 

 

 

"I always do." Megan says softly

 

 

 

"Always what?" Dani sounds hopeful, as if Megan will say what she's been waiting for her to hear. What does she want her to say; Megan will say it if she wants her to.

 

 

 

"Watch you. It's hard not to." She doesnt mean to say it like that, it just comes out.

 

 

 

 

"Good to know." What does that mean?

 

 

 

Whatever, Megan tries not to think about it the rest of the ride to wherever they're going. She isn't sure if it's Dani's place or something. That wouldn't make much sense to her since they're like, styling her.

 

 

 

But whatever, she'll go where Dani takes her. It doesnt take much to stop thinking about it. It's so easy to be with Dani. As friends. Because that's all they are of course.

 

 

 

It's easy to forget that Dani probably doesnt do this with anyone else: take them to their house, or out for dinner or something. It's easy because it doesnt feel like more. 

 

 

 

And maybe that's the part that trips Megan up. Because it feels like it should be the fact that Dani chose to invite her, hangs out with her like this. It feels like it should mean more than it does.

 

 

 

The way Dani keeps her hand on her thigh the whole ride to their destination. The way she talks to her so easily. The way she holds her hand as they take the elevator up. It feels it's supposes to-

 

 

 

 

"Why are you acting like you havent been here before? Relax, it's just my place." Dani can see that Megan's head is somewhere else. She guesses that should be quite easy to tell by now.

 

 

 

"Right, sorry." Megan mutters, the ding of the elevator signaling to her that she doesnt have any time to back out of this.

 

 

 

"It'll just be like... dress to impress." 

 

 

 

"Who am I impressing?" Megan chuckles at the way Dani tries to calm her down

 

 

 

"Me duh. I mean Lara will be there too, but mostly me." Dani says, digging for her apartment keys.

 

 

 

"Well, that should be easy; I impress you with anything." Megan says jokingly

 

 

 

"Hard for you not to." Dani mumbles under her breath after she drops her hand from Megan's, opening her door. Before Megan has the chance to ask her what she said, Lara's voice breaks them out of their little bubble.

 

 

 

"Welcome back my client. And my guest client. You are late." Lara says cheerfully, pulling Megan into a hug

 

 

 

"No need to rush Lara. I've got you booked all day." Dani jokes, tossing her purse on the couch

 

 

 

 

"Yeah for your all so special dancer. I wonder how you got an invite before me." Lara jokes, nudging Megan by her shoulder

 

 

 

"Come on Lara, don't take it like that. Of course Meg has to come with me; there's no way I would've gotten nominated by myself." Dani chuckles. She gives Megan a wink, letting her know that the underlying reason for her invite wasnt that. Which Megan thought it clearly was. Now with that, she's starting to wonder why Megan was her first pick.

 

 

 

"Dont listen to that; I'm pretty sure she would." Megan assures.

 

 

 

"At least you guys have certified hype men. Which I will be adding to. We are going to make you look fabulous." Lara assures, pointing to the rack of clothes she somehow hauled into Dani's place.

 

 

 

"So is this like a casual thing? Because I was totally struggling with figuring that out." Megan asks, setting her self on the couch next to Dani.

 

 

 

"Definitely more towards casual. But definitely something that people would wanna wear on the street because of you." Well, Lara is certainly in work mode; she's already perusing the rack of clothes, looking for she thinks would fit Megan.

 

 

 

"Good thing you swooped in and saved the day right?" Megan jokes, but soon deflated once she sees the look on Dani's face.

 

 

 

"Why didnt you ask me if you needed help?" She certainly doesnt look happy.

 

 

 

 

"It wasnt that big of a deal. I would've-"

 

 

 

 

"What'd I'd tell you about that?" That makes her shut up. And Lara to glance their direction.

 

 

 

 

"To not do it. Sorry." Megan says, blush of embarrassment on her face 

 

 

 

"I know, just come to me next time. You can lean on me too." Dani says softly, hand laying on top of Megan's 

 

 

 

 "Alright." 

 

 

 

 

"I'm gonna get something to drink. Want anything?" Dani directs more towards Megan but Lara replies instead 

 

 

 

"Water, I need to get in the zone." Lara replies, back turned to them

 

 

 

"Uh, whatever you have is fine." Megan answers lowly

 

 

 

"Pick something Meg." Is she trying to humiliate her, because it certainly feels like it. Megan can feel by the way it makes her squeeze her thighs together.

 

 

 

"Punch is fine." Megan murmers, refraining from rolling her eyes.

 

 

 

"Drinks coming up." She thought she would feel a little bit better now that Dani was put of the room. But she feels Lara's gaze and knows that's not the case.

 

 

 

"So... what was that?" Lara hums

 

 

 

 

"What was what?" Megan asks cluelessly

 

 

 

"Uh, babe. Unless I missed a chapter, that doesnt look like you're just her backup dancer." Lara insinuates, glancing back at Megan.

 

 

 

 

"I mean I guess. We're friends." Megan says with a nod of her head.

 

 

 

"Right... friends." Lara remarks with an amused smirk on her face. What was that supposed to mean?

 

 

 

"And drinks are served. So, what's the first outfit on the menu?" Dani says plopping down on the seat next to Megan after setting the drinks on the coffee table

 

 

 

"I think it'll be a hit. Such a big one that I can leave after this. No, I'm not being cocky. I'm just that good." Lara says, grabbing two hangers

 

 

 

"Well, I have faith in you. Let's try it." Megan says, sitting up from the couch and getting ready to lift her hoodie off.

 

 

 

 

"What are you doing?" Dani asks, voice gritting a little, making Megan stop

 

 

 

"Uh, trying it on." Megan asks, tilting her head in confusion 

 

 

 

 

 

"Just come to my room. It has... a mirror. You gotta see it in the mirror first." Dani pauses, glancing at Lara.

 

 

 

 

"Right, the mirror." Lara mutter with a smirk.

 

 

 

 

"Ok, yeah, you're right." Megan nods, completely oblivious to the other two making eye contact.

 

 

 

 

Megan doesn't think much of it, she doesnt even acknowledge it really. It isnt a big deal; Dani is right anyway. The mirror is always the best to look first. 

 

 

 

 

So she grabs the clothes and walks down the hall to Dani's room. Of course, she's been here so much she knows where that is.

 

 

 

She was about to shut the door behind her when she notices Dani is behind her.

 

 

 

 

"Oh, hi." Megan chuckles, looking down at Dani's foot in the door.

 

 

 

"Hi, let me in." Dani says, not waiting for permission anyway. Well it is her room.

 

 

 

 

"I thought I came back here for some privacy." Megan jokes tossing the hangers on Dani's bed.

 

 

 

"This is private. And dress to impress remember. I have to approve." Dani says before sitting down on her bed. Is it really privacy if Dani is in here? Whatever, she doesn't mind.

 

 

 

"Oh right. I think you'll like it." Megan says with a smile

 

 

 

 

"Let's see then." Dani nods. Right now, with Dani in here? Well it wouldn't be that weird. They had to dress in front of each other many times; the various outfit changes that Lara had for performances made sure of that. So Megan wasnt that fazed.

 

 

 

"You dont have any confidence I can pull it off?" Megan teases, slipping her arms out of her sleeves. She tries not to glance in the body mirror Dani has. She knows she'll see Dani looking at her; she doesnt think she'll be able to handle that.

 

 

 

"Of course I do. I just wanna see it." Dani hums lowly, head following Megan's body.

 

 

 

"No need to inflate my ego." Megan mutters with a blush on her face.

 

 

 

 

"I think I need to." 

 

 

 

 

"I like it." Megan says more to herself, seeing how the top fit on her. Seems like Dani likes it too. Megan can see after a glance through the mirror that she stares at her. 

 

 

 

 

It makes her feel like the top squeezes her tighter than it is. And it's pretty tight. Maybe that's why Dani is staring so hard; maybe she thinks it's too tight. Or maybe she doesnt like the color, or the material. Or the size. Ok, maybe she should just ask her since she's worrying so much.

 

 

 

"Do you like it?" Megan makes the mistake of turning to look back at Dani. It makes her choke on her breathe, how intensely Dani is looking at her.

 

 

 

"Put the pants on." Dani directs. Well Megan was going to anyway, she wasnt just it because it felt like Dani was going to shoot daggers with her eyes at her.

 

 

 

"What are you gonna wear?" Megan has ro break the silence somehow. The air seems too think not to.

 

 

 

"It's a surprise." Dani says with a smirk

 

 

 

 

"Will I like it?" She shouldn't have asked. But it's only fair because Dani has to approve of hers; she should be able to do that back.

 

 

 

"I'll make sure you do." Yeah she shouldn't have asked in the first place. Not if she knew that Dani was going to say it like.

 

 

 

 

It feels more intimate than it should be. It feels like Dani shouldnt be in here, or maybe it does. Maybe Megan likes the feeling of Dani's eyes on her as she slips slides her own pants off of her hips.

 

 

 

It makes the room feel smaller than it actually is. It makes it feel like Dani could touch her from where she's sitting. Maybe she is, in the ways that matter.

 

 

 

"Better?" Megan turns around, back to the mirror now. Sure the mirror was the best thing to tell if it was a good fit, but Dani is definitely a better measuring stick right now. Megan can tell if this is the one or not by the way Dani looks at her.

 

 

 

Megan walks closer to Dani, she can tell she wants her to. Maybe she shouldnt. Maybe that'll just blur all the lines Megan was trying not to cross. The lines she knows she shouldnt. But she has to, especially with Dani looking at her like that.

 

 

 

"Yeah, this is it." Megan feels her knees buckle when Dani pulls her even closer by the loops of her belts. That was hot, unnecessarily so. Even hotter than the way Dani is looking at her right now.

 

 

 

"You-" A knock on the door stops Megan from what she was going to say. She's kinda thankful for it; she probably would've said something she shouldn't even thought about.

 

 

 

 

"Did I eat?" Megan would definitely say so judging by the look on Dani's face.

 

 

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

And Megan hasnt been able to eat, not tonight at least; she can never eat too much when she's nervous. She has nervous for two weeks about tonight. She thought the time would help her calm down. But no, as she paces the hotel room, she isnt any calmer.

 

 

It certainly didnt help that she had no idea when Dani was gonna be here. Yeah she knows she should have ask more questions. She just didnt want to stress herself out more.

 

 

 

Which was unavoidable at this point. She doesnt think she could get more stressed. Ok, that's a lie; she really jumpy when she hears the knock on the door.

 

 

She thought she'd be a little calmer. Yoonchae had told her she doesnt know how many times over the two weeks that it's just a party. That she should be focused having and enjoying herself. Well Megan's brain didnt let her rest.

 

 

 

No all she had been thinking about whether be backing up, if it was too late to be doing so. She could just tell Dani she was sick or that she didnt thinks the clothes on her dont look right anymore (she couldn't do that; Dani would think she did something wrong).

 

 

 

She doesnt know why she's doesnt know why she's so stressed; like Yoonchae said, it's just a party. With other celebrities, cameras, Dani's peers. And she remembers why she was nervous.

 

 

 

She feels like she's going to throw up. Which she cannot do because she had already put her outfit on, which looks even better than it did when she tried it on. Lara really did her thing, which is another reason why Megan had to go. She couldn't let this go to waste.

 

 

 

Ok, this will be over soon. This feeling of anxiousness. She's doing this for Dani. Dani. Thinking of Dani had managed to calm her down while she waited. She's going out with Dani; it'll be just like hanging out with her. No need to worry.

 

 

 

She has been thinking of Dani to calm herself down, thinking of that when her head start to spiral. And she's been hovering over her phone, refreshing every platform. She doesnt think she ever refreshed her phone that much. It was totally worth it. Really worth-

 

 

 

 

"Megan, you ready to party?" Dani's voice outside the hotel door breaks her thoughts.

 

 

 

Finally, Megan thinks if she walked anymore around the room, she would've worn a hole in the floor. Or not finally; she didnt know if she should be happy the night is unofficially starting or dreading it.

 

 

 

Well she'll find out soon. As she opens the door, she can definitely say that she's grateful for the night starting. Really grateful now that she is looking at Dani.

 

 

 

Just when she didn't Dani couldn't look any better tonight, she proved her wrong. Megan had thought Dani saved her looks for the main event. Which she did; Megan was really proud of herself for not drooling all over her phone when she say Dani. And maybe she did indulge herself a little by replaying all the interviews of Dani she could find.

 

 

You cant blame her. She looked good, like insanely good. Megan was really relieved that she had managed to talk herself out of attending that with Dani. She would've been so screwed if she saw Dani like that in person.

 

 

 

Like she is now. She feels like she's about to faint as she takes Dani from her door frame. She knew that Dani was going to look no matter what she wore; casual, formal, a trash bag, she knew Dani was going to look good. But now that she's looking at her now, she was was sure she was going to faint. 

 

 

 

Dani is matching with her. They were matching. Like the same colors, together. Dani's jeans skirt barely her mid thigh and Megan tried to avoid letting gaze travel to the muscles there. Her own top was about as tight as Megan's and she suddenly understands Dani's intense staring.

 

 

Yeah she should definitely stay here. In the room, locked away from Dani. Away from her where she doesnt have the urge to rip-

 

 

 

"Aww, you guys are matching." A voice that Megan matches with Manon since she can't see her.

 

 

 

"Yeah it was planned." Dani says with a smirk, eyes trailing Megan's body in a way that makes it feel like Manon isn't even here.

 

 

 

"It was?" Megan doesn't remember Dani mentioning anything of the sort. Maybe this was the surprise, a pleasant one.

 

 

 

 

"Good strategy for making sure you both don't get lost." Sophia's voice cuts through the conversation, Megan seeing her walk up behind the other two girls.

 

 

 

 

"Are you guys coming too?" Megan ask, hopeful that they say yes. The more the merrier.

 

 

 

"No they just wouldn't let me go without an escort." Dani replies with a roll of her eyes. Just her and Dani, good. Great even, maybe. 

 

 

 

"We're just being safe. Dont worry, we're just walking you to the car and you guys can have fun to your hearts content." Manon assures

 

 

 

"Not too much though." Sophia interjects 

 

 

 

"Yes mom. So, you ready?" Dani asks, turning back towards Megan. Is she; she doesnt really know. She doesn't have a choice.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah, let's go." With that, Dani takes initiative and grabs hold of Megan hand and pulls her out the hotel room. 

 

 

 

"Remember girls, please stick together." Sophia says authoritative and protective.

 

 

 

"You're so lucky that Soph is even letting this happen." Manon chuckles, sliding into the elevator next to the two girls.

 

 

 

 

"What do you mean? I thought-" Megan was going to say she thought Dani was automatically granted a plus one, because well, that's what she had told her. But with the way Manon had worded it, it sounded like that wasnt the case, almost as if Dani had pulled some strings to make it happen.

 

 

 

That's what her curious brain was going to ask anyway, before Dani stopped her. She didnt have to say anything; Megan could feel by the grip on her hand and the look Dani shoots her, she doesnt want Megan asking questions. Fine, it wasnt like it was a big deal anyway. Maybe Dani just wanted some company and the other girls were busy or something.

 

 

 

"We'll stick together. Gotta make sure no one else steals my dancer." Dani says, winking playfully at Megan. It doesnt feel playful, maybe because she pays way too much attention to Dani. But it feels like she means it when she says my, like Megan belongs to her.

 

 

 

Of course Megan knows she doesnt mean it like that. She just values Megan's talent and doesnt want that to slip away. Not that Megan would ever consider doing that. She cant imagine dancing for anyone besides Dani.

 

 

 

"Just... dont do anything crazy." Sophia says with a sigh as the cool air hits them. The car waits for ghe out front. Megan hadn't expected a car, but really, what else should she have expected.

 

 

 

"No promises." Dani jokes

 

 

 

 

"Daniela." Sophia says sternly

 

 

 

"Ok, fine. We'll be good." Dani sighs with a roll of her eyes. Doesn't really sound like she's means it, she definitely doesn't have her heart in the promise. Megan can tell by the way she opens the car door and slides in the seat, a smirk on her face before the car door closes behind her.

 

 

 

"Keep an eye on her for us?" Manon asks, turning to Megan

 

 

 

"Definitely, that's basically my job." Megan chuckles

 

 

 

"I can see why you're the favorite. Go on before Dani drags you in there." Manon hums, a look at Megan that makes her think she meant more to her statement than Megan had first thought.

 

 

 

"I'm not-"

 

 

 

"Go." Sophia nods.

 

 

 

 

Fine, she was getting a little nervous under their gazes anyway. She feels like she's going crazy; everyone over the past few weeks has been saying she's the favorite way more often. And they looked weirdly at Megan when they said it.

 

 

 

 

Sure that thought of what that could possibly mean to Megan made her nervous. Just not as nervous as what she's walking into now. Settling into the seat of the car makes it more real, more real to Megan that it's too late to back out. 

 

 

 

The leather under her thigh feels rough against the pants she's wearing. It feels like she can still feel it as she bounces her leg nervously. She thought she would calm down after coming to the realization that this isnt that serious. She thought she would feel a little better as the destination gets closer, but Megan only feels her hands getting more clammy as she feels the wheels of the car start rolling on the pavement.

 

 

 

 

"Hey, why are you sitting so far away? Come closer." Dani's voice sounds closer than it does as she pats her hand against the seat next to her. 

 

 

 

Megan hadnt meant to sit so far away. Or maybe she did. Maybe once she had to force her eyes away from the skirt riding up on Dani's hips, she decided the better option would be to sit further away from her. She knows she's going to be all on her, well next to her, for the majority of the night. She doesn't need to add that on her plate.

 

 

 

But she cant just tell Dani no. That'll just make it seem like there's something going on (which there is), which Megan would rather not Dani find out. So she scoots over towards Dani, closer but still some space between them. Enough space that Megan can still see the leather seat under them.

 

 

 

Not for long though. Dani takes it upon herself and decides that Megan isnt closer enough and shifts closer to Megan. Their legs now touch; Dani's bare thigh touching her leathered leg. It feels like Megan's leg is bare itself, even though its not; she can feel the heat off of Dani's skin slipping through the material that covers her skin.

 

 

 

"You're in your head." Dani hums, her hand slidding on top of Megan's leg naturally. As if that's the only place where it belongs.

 

 

 

"Well I'd hope so." Megan tries to deflect the conversation but it unfortunately doesnt work.

 

 

 

 

"You know what I meant. You're nervous." It wasnt a question; Dani could just tell. Megan wanted to sink into herself over the fact that Dani could so easily.

 

 

 

 

"I'm never not. It's fine." It really is in fact not fine. She just hopes Dani buys it for now.

 

 

 

"It doesnt matter what happens. Not what anyone else thinks. Just me." Dani says it like she frustrated that Megan doesnt know.

 

 

 

"Just me, worry about me." 

 

 

 

"Ok, just you." Megan knows Dani will feel better if she repeats it back to her, so she does. Her theory is proven when she sees Dani give her a smile.

 

 

 

"So relax then. We'll have fun and that's all that matters." Dani's squeezes her thigh as she utters more reassurance to Megan.

 

 

 

"Yeah." Megan answers spacing out over the fact that it feels like Dani is trying to claw her nails through her pants.

 

 

 

"Good, so did you watch? You liked my outfit?" Great, just a question she was hoping that Dani would'nt ask. Like is an understatement; she could barely focus on Dani's answers to the questions that she was being asked. So, safe to say she was a bit distracted by how good she looked.

 

 

 

"Yeah, you looked great." There, a neutral statement. One that Dani wont take the wrong way.

 

 

 

"I wish you could've seen it in person. It was amazing." Dani says with a smile

 

 

 

"I'm sure it was. Lara always knows what you look great it."

 

 

 

 

"Do you wanna see it in person; I want you to." Well she definitely wasnt expecting that. She really shouldn't; that wouldn't be very smart

 

 

 

"Well, it was probably difficult to put on, so you dont-" She was trying to find a way out. But Dani wont let her have that either.

 

 

 

"I will. For you, just say the word. It would really suck if I only wore it once." Dani's voice is low as she looks onto Megan's eyes as runs her fingers down Megan's leg.

 

 

 

Yeah she definitely needs a way out. Like really fast. And maybe she should learn to be careful what she wishes for. Because it does come fast, maybe a little too fast.

 

 

 

Instead of feeling better now that Megan had a little space from Dani (not a lot though since Dani had decided that tonight was the night that she would hold Megan's hand like it was her own), but she feels the exacr opposite now as they roll in front of the entrance of the venture.

 

 

 

There are a lot more cameras than she expected. Cameras that would capture the fact that they were matching. Cameras that would capture the right grip on Megan's hand.

 

 

 

The thought thrill her. She wanted to see Dani guiding her through the crowd of cameras, interlacing their fingers. But then she feels a little guilty for liking the idea once she realizes it isnt like that.

 

 

Sophia said to look out for each other. This isnt about whatever Megan was conjuring up in her mind. Dani was just making sure she wasn't overwhelmed. She was just being a good friend, a protective one. 

 

 

 

Not claiming or territorial. Not that Megan had wanted her to be like (or at least that's what she wss trying to convince herself was the case.) Dani wasnt like that because their friendship wasnt like that. 

 

 

 

Which was getting really hard to convince herself of the fact as they strayed further away from the looming presence of the paparazzi cameras. As soon as they walk past the entrance, Megan tries not to jump at the feeling of Dani's palm on her back.

 

 

 

It's nothing, it's nothing. Megan tries to tell herself Dani smiles up at her. She's just making sure Megan is going in the same direction as her, that's all. There's nothing-

 

 

 

"Come on, they always want pictures. Let's get those out of the way so we can have a little alone time." Curse Megan's brain and it's spiraling. Dani means alone time as in time to enjoy the drinks together, to enjoy the finger food they have out for them. Not anything else.

 

 

 

"Relax, you look good. I approved didnt I?" Dani leans in to whisper in her ear.

 

 

 

"Yeah you did." Megan gulps, trying not freak out over the fact that she just felt Dani's lips graze her ear.

 

 

 

"Then you're gonna look great. And we're gonna look even better together." Megan really hopes Dani would stop her measures of reassurance because she is so taking the wrong way.

 

 

Is that-

 

 

 

 

"Is that Daniela Avanzini?!"

 

 

 

"Yes yes. In the flesh. I figured this would be a perfect way to end an amazing night." 

 

 

 

Megan tried not to freak out at the face in front of her. Which is easier than expected given who the face is. But her body is busy focusing on other things.

 

 

 

She is freaking out more than she should about Dani's hand snaking around her waist. Dani does this all the time, well Megan does this all the time with her. A hand on her waist shouldn't be making her palms feel this slick or her heart beating this much out of her chest.

 

 

 

But Megan had never done this with Dani. It had always been on stage, required. Dani doing it to her feels like seconds nature, like it's just something she wants to do. For herself, not for the sake of looking out for Megan.

 

 

 

It definitely couldn't be that with how hard Dani's grip feels against her naked skin, her shirt not reaching the hem of her pants (signature Dani look she borrowed for tonight). This didnt feel like that with the fact that Megan can feel her jewelry on her skin. This certainly doesnt feel like that when Dani's thumb slips into her pants. 

 

 

 

This feels like so much more and she likes it. A little too much.

 

 

 

"A special guest huh?" Oh great, now the attention is on her.

 

 

 

"Yes, my Megan." Her Megan; she thinks her knees buckle as she hears Dani's voice. She didnt mean it like that, she didn't-

 

 

 

"Uh, the backup dancer." Yeah she didnt mean if like that so Megan corrects her politely.

 

 

 

"Yes, the famous one." Megan? Famous?

 

 

 

 

"My partner." Dani asserts, pulling Megan closer to her. Why did that feel-

 

 

 

The rest of the conversation is a blur for her. Just like most of the night. When she wss supposed to be having a good time with Dani, Megan was too stuck in her head about what Dani said.

 

 

 

 

My Megan.

 

 

 

 

She just meant my friend Megan, surely. She just slipped up; Dani did that when she was tipsy. And she was certainly acting tipsy on the way here. She was more touchy than usual on the way here.

 

 

 

So Megan tries to push that down the rest of the night. Unsuccessfully she might add. All because of Dani. Ok well maybe this is her fault because she's making things more than they are. But Dani certainly hasnt helped the whole night.

 

 

 

It hasnt helped that the whole night Dani's hand has been on her. If not both. Both on her skin somehow. Hand guiding her by the waist through the venue, hand on her arm, hand in her hand. It feels like Dani hasnt stopped touching her the whole night.

 

 

It hasn't helped the whole night that Dani has barely given her any space. She's used to it of course; they're always close to each other on stage. But this isnt the stage. Behind her, hovering. Next to her, hip knocking hers. Shoulders bumping. Dani hasnt left her side it feels.

 

 

 

It hasnt helped that any time Dani speaks to her (which was quite frequently tonight), she leans in so Megan can hear her. Too close that every time Megan can feel her lips grazing her ear. Can feel her breath fanning her skin. It's too much and not enough.

 

 

 

But it definitely felt like Dani meant what she said by My Megan.

 

 

 

So yeah, safe to say it was ringing through Megan's head the whole night. It surely is ringing through her head now.

 

 

 

Now that she had gotten over her nerves a little, she actually could bring herself to socialize. Not a lot of course and not too much. Not too much because the gaze Dani has on her, sharp and tracking, makes her feel like she's doing something wrong.

 

 

 

Like she isnt supposed to be talking to anyone else other than Dani. So she doesnt feel that crazy when Dani nods her to walk towards the bathroom. (Seems like Dani likes bathrooms)

 

 

 

"Having fun?" The question sounds sincere at first, like Dani is actually curious as to whether Megan is enjoying herself. At least it felt that way until Megan turns around after closing the door behind her. Now that she looking at Dani, she almost seens... a little mad at the idea if Megan having fun. Isnt that what she wanted?

 

 

 

"Yeah, surprisingly. It's not as stomach turning as I thought it would be." Megan needs to busy herself with something (Dani's gaze feels too intense), so she steps over to the sink to wash her hands.

 

 

 

"And why'd you think it'd be that way; you're here with me." Why does it feel like Megan is choosing the wrong option every time she speaks?

 

 

 

"Oh you know, just all the people. Watching, looking at you-"

 

 

 

"I thought you said you didnt care about that? Were you lying?" Dani steps closer to her, arm brushing hers like it had been the whole night. But it feels different now.

 

 

 

"No, no, just-"

 

 

 

"I wish you wouldnt worry about anyone else. You dont when we're on stage." Dani cuts her off, hand reaching for Megan's arm

 

 

 

"I try not to. It's just... loud that's all." Megan hopes that's an adequate enough answer for Dani.

 

 

 

"I'll be louder then." No, no. She didnt mean it like that. She didnt mean it like-

 

 

 

"Did you like my surprise?" Dani asks, noticing Megan's silence.

 

 

 

"What surprise?"

 

 

 

"Matching." Dani answers blunty, her voice cutting through the air like the pull of paper towel

 

 

 

"Oh yeah. You look nice; I wonder where Lara got that from for you." Megan nods with a soft smile, drying her hands

 

 

 

"I asked her. Wanted everyone to know you were with me." Megan hopes that Dani doesnt notice the bob of Megan's throat after she says that. She really shouldnt say that while reaching up to the back of Megan's neck like that.

 

 

 

"Well, the point got across." Megan says with an awkward chuckle, trying not to freak out about the way Dani caresses her hand against her neck

 

 

 

"That was the goal. Thanks for coming with me tonight." Dani hums, fingers grazing Megan's hair

 

 

 

"I cant really say no." Megan chuckles

 

 

 

"Did you want to?" Well with the way she was looking at her she couldn't answer with yes if she wanted to. And she didnt know if she wanted to.

 

 

 

"N-no." Megan tripped over her words as Dani guided her head toward her to look at her. That's dangerous.

 

 

 

"Thought so." Dani says smugly.

 

 

 

Dani leans tilts her head up to press her lips on Megan's cheek. There's force behind it almost as if she wants to-

 

 

 

Megan has to resist the urge to bring her fingers up to the mark of lips now on her cheek. The mark of Dani's lips. It looks good on her skin. Too good. She really doesnt want to wipe it off.

 

 

 

"Looks good right?" Dani hums, reaching down to grip Megan's chin to turn her cheek to the mirror so she can see the mark of lipstick

 

 

 

"It's... a nice color." Cut her a break, she was nervous. Like a lot. Maybe that's what made the dumb decision (she found that out after she made it) to reach to rub the mark off.

 

 

 

She was about to reach for a napkins to wet it and take the rest if the makeup off. But then she's stopped by Dani's hand.

 

 

 

"Did I tell you to wipe it off?" Great, it sounds like she's in trouble now.

 

 

 

"No I just thought-"

 

 

 

"Doesnt matter. I put it there cause I wanted to see it there." Oh, she did? 

 

 

 

"Ok, I'm sorry. Just uh... do another." She wants to fix it, she had to.

 

 

 

"That was the plan. There." Dani says, a pleased look on her face after she plants another kiss on Megan's cheek.

 

 

 

"Come on, our ride is outside." That's all Dani says to her before she walks out of the bathroom.

 

 

 

Now the bathroom feels to quiet. The smell of Dani's perfume clinging to her skin just like the make of her lips and the smear of her makeup. 

 

 

 

A mark of Dani on her.

 

 

...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Megan tries to tell herself the mark on her cheek isnt a big deal. But it certainly doesnt feel like it. It feels like it changes things, between her and Dani. Maybe she's looking into it. Dani hadnt acted that much different. Maybe.

 

 

 

She doesn't know. It feels different. But maybe it shouldn't. Dani was just clinging closer tonight because it was unfamiliar place. She was just pulling her closer because she knew she was nervous. That certainly didnt feel like the case now.

 

 

 

It certainly didnt feel like it now that they were alone. Alone in the back of the car. Dani felt even closer than she was on the way here. It certainly wasnt helping the feeling that was running through Megan now.

 

 

 

 

"You're quiet. You alright?" Dani's voice cuts through the low hum of the music and the breeze of the air 

 

 

 

"Yeah I'm good." Megan reassures, giving her a smile

 

 

 

"You sure, that wasn't too much for you right? I wanted you to come, but if it was too much, I wont-"

 

 

 

 

"It's fine, I'm glad I came. Really. I met more people than I thought I would." Megan says with a chuckle. Really she was surprised with the way Dani had clung to her the whole night.

 

 

 

"Yeah I can see that." Did that hit a nerve? Was she not supposed to mention it?

 

 

 

 

"Is that, uh, did you not like that?" Megan is a little timid to ask, but the curiosity was eating at her. 

 

 

 

"It's fine. I guess. Just want you to know that I'm the only one who knows you, no else." 

 

 

 

 

"I know. You know me best." Megan tried not to hold onto that, but it makes her leg bounce at what Dani might've meant.

 

 

 

 

"You're still tense. I thought you'd loosen up by now." Dani's voice startles her along with the hand on her thigh (again)

 

 

 

"Huh, no. Just tired." She hopes it doesn't sound too much of a lie

 

 

 

 

"You're tense like this on stage too. I can always feel it. Right here." Dani reaches up for her shoulders, massaging her there. She hopes the blush on her face isnt too visible. 

 

 

 

 

"I dont try to be. I just, dont wanna drop you or something." Megan says, awkwardly shifting her hips, trying not to focus on the way Dani's hand trails up with it.

 

 

 

"You won't. I know you wouldn't." 

 

 

 

"You trust me that much?" Megan asks

 

 

 

 

"Of course I do. You hold me so... you won't drop me. Like this, let me see." Dani prompts, grabbing Megan's hands to put them on her waist. Dani's hands look so much smaller than hers as she grabs them. Her waist is so much smaller under Megan's hands than she thought. You'd think she would notice with how much she holds Dani. But this feels different. Better.

 

 

 

 

"Well, uh, I like to be reliable." Did she mean to be that close?Megan feels like she needs to hold her breath.

 

 

 

 

"You are. Like tonight. I knew you'd come." Well yeah, I couldn't not. Not when you looked at me like that.

 

 

 

"Of course, gotta celebrate your big night." Megan hums, almost sighing a breath of relief when Dani moves her hands off of her shoulders.

 

 

 

"Celebrate you say? Hmm, I think I should get another gift then." Dani says with a smirk on her face

 

 

 

Why does she feel like this is going a place where she feels like they haven't been before. A place where Megan is curious to go. One where she will if Dani wants her to.

 

 

 

 

"Ok." She shouldnt have given in so easily. She really shouldn't have. But she cant say no. She doesnt want to.

 

 

 

"Alright, that'll be arranged." What did she get herself into?

 

 

 

 

It was probably just a joke. Yeah a joke. Dani probably meant nothing by it. Nothing at all.

 

 

 

 

Megan certainly couldnt deny it for long though. Not when they stepped out of the car, Dani's hands still not leaving her. The wind brushing her cheek, reminding her of the mark Dani had left there. It didnt feel like it meant nothing as they rode up the hotel elevator.

 

 

 

The silence felt louder than it should've been. It felt louder as they walked down the hall. Past Megan's room.

 

 

 

 

"Where are we going?" Megan asks nervously, letting hersef be pulled by Dani.

 

 

 

"To my room." 

 

 

 

"Oh." Megan feels her heart beat faster at the information. Those three words shouldnt make the grip on Dani's hand tighten.

 

 

 

 

"Is that ok with you? You dont wanna be alone with me?" Dani questions, turning around to look at Megan.

 

 

 

 

"No that's not-"

 

 

 

 

"Cause I do with you. It hasnt been that way all night." Dani hums lowly, her hand reaching up to cup Megan's face. Without realizing it, Megan thinks Dani had already pulled her into her room. That's all it took, a single touch. And Dani knows it.

 

 

 

"I'll stay. I want to." Does that give Dani what she wants? That's all Megan wants to know. She wants her to tell her.

 

 

 

"Ok, come on then. Get comfy then. You can stay over tonight." Dani seems pleased and Megan feels a wave of relief wash over her as she hears the door lock behind her. Good, Dani is happy with her now.

 

 

 

"What will I-"

 

 

 

"Dont worry about that. I'll take care of it." Dani assures, guiding her to the bed and gesturing for her to sit.

 

 

 

"Ok, so what are we going to do?" This is something she's familiar with: just hanging out with Dani. She can do this. This can make her forget all of the other thoughts she was having about tonight. It's just her and Dani, this is normal.

 

 

 

"What do you want to do?" Megan tries not to let her eyes stay glued to Dani's now bare arms, the leather jacket being tossed across the room.

 

 

 

"Anything in particular you wanna do?" Dani asks. The flip of her hair makes Megan's gaze drop to her neck. Ok, she's overthinking this. They're probably just watching a movie or something, nothing serious. She just needs to stop looking at all the tan skin Dani has on display.

 

 

 

 

"No, whatever you wanna do is cool." Megan says, a smile at Dani as she sits besides her.

 

 

 

 

"I have a couple things in mind." Dani hums, shuffling closer to her.

 

 

 

"Ok, what movies do you-"

 

 

 

 

"Shut up." Did she read this wrong. She thought Dani wanted her in here. Maybe she cant do this. Had she done something wrong?

 

 

 

"I'm sorry, did I-"

 

 

 

 

"I said be quiet Meg." There's no room for Megan to protest, not with the way Dani's voice sounds. It feels so harsh that it feels like Dani will bite her with her words.

 

 

 

So quiet she will be. Not that she minds. Dani's gaze on her will she stays silent makes her skin crawl in a good way. She's looking at her as if she hadn't appreciated looking at her enough earlier tonight (which Megan thinks she totally did). 

 

 

 

She likes it. She likes the feeling of having Dani's attention on her. Now that she thinks about it, Dani always looks at her like that. On stage, Dani makes sure her eyes are always on Megan's. Megan likes the fact that she can ground Dani. 

 

 

 

Maybe that's what was happening down. Maybe the hectic night that had happened and it had finally caught up to Dani. Maybe she just needed to have one of those moments where the silence with Megan to calm herself down.

 

 

 

Or maybe not. Maybe it wasn't like that where Dani needed her friend to just be here with her. Maybe it was more than that; it surely felt more than that with Dani touching her. This doesnt feel like normal when Dani cradles her hand, sits shoulder to shoulder with her.

 

 

 

It felt different the moment Dani shifts her leg over Megan's. Megan hopes her eyes dont bug out of her head noticeably as Dani's skirt shifts up her thighs. Her mouth feels like it was starting to water. It felt different the moment Dani brings her hand to caress the opposite side of Megan's neck, snaking around her shoulders to the other side of her face. It feels different as Megan lets her hands drape aound Dani's waist (it seems like thats what she wants) This certainly feels different.

 

 

 

"See, you know what to do." Dani hums under her breath, sliding her fingers to graze the edge of Megan's hairline. It feels so good, too good that it makes Megan sigh.

 

 

 

Too loud. She knows Dani hears it. Sh didn't mean to make it weird; it just felt nice. So nice that it makes her squeeze her hands around Dani, unconscious slipping down. 

 

 

 

"Yes, that's good. Wanted to get you alone all night." Dani murmers against her skin, nudging her face in Megan's neck. It makes her stiffen for a little, before pulling Dani closer to her, closer so her whole leg is almost in Megan's lap

 

 

 

"D-Dani, what are you doing?" Megan feels her voice break a little once she asks. The feeling of Dani's nails distracting her.

 

 

 

"You want me to stop?" 

 

 

 

 

"No." She definitely doesn't want that to happen. Not any time soon.

 

 

 

 

"Doesnt matter then, just let me." Not like she had planned to. She just wants to be sure about whatever this is; she isnt anymore because she's been denying herself for so long. It'd probably be better if she made sure if she and Dani were on the same page.

 

 

 

"I just dont wanna... uh read it wrong." She realizes how stupid the statement is right now, with Dani draped over her leg and her face in her neck. But clearly, being smart and reading signs havent been her strong suit thus far.

 

 

 

"Read it wrong?" Dani repeats as she back up. Megan almost grips at her from breaking the contact.

 

 

 

"What do you think is going on?" Dani asks, a raise of her eyebrows as she awaits Megan's answer

 

 

 

"I... dont know." Well she does know what she thought; she'd just rather not she voice that she was wrong. Because it's clear to her how wrong she was.

 

 

 

"You dont know? With everything I've been doing?" Megan shakes her head timidly, a little ashamed at how disappointed Dani seems.

 

 

 

"You know, I thought you were smarter than that Meg." Megan doesnt know whether to feel relieved at the fact that Dani's hand is back in her hair or daunted by her tone.

 

 

 

"I-"

 

 

 

"Hush. I guess I'll just have to tell you since showing you wasnt enough." Dani hums, her nail trailing along Megan's jaw.

 

 

 

"I thought it was pretty clear. But I guess I should've noticed you were being really dense. I dont know why you're so scared of the fact that I want you." She knows she should've expected to hear that since she should've been clued on that being the case. But still the claim still makes her knees buckle and she's sitting down. She cant believe Dani's voice, melodic and soft in her ear, is saying that to her. Something she never thought she would hear.

 

 

 

"Was that clear enough for you? I want you, you understand?" Dani says, voice firm and stern like the grasp on her chin (that should've been clued Megan in enough, which it did; Dani likes doing that far too much for them to be just friends)

 

 

 

"Say it." Dani demands, clearly Megan's nod not being enough for her.

 

 

 

"I understand." Megan feels heat rush to her cheeks with how easily she goes along with it. She likes it far too much; now she can stop finally pretend that she hadnt 

 

 

 

"Good, now that's outta the way, let me do what I wanted, yeah?" Dani seems eager, like Megan's sudden and really late revelation of the situation was a nuisance.

 

 

 

"What are you gonna do?" Megan wants to know as much as she wants it to be a surprise.

 

 

 

"You'll find out, now relax. And here, much better." Dani says as she places Megan's hands back on her hips

 

 

 

"This is how it was supposed to be the whole night, dont you get it? I wanted to be with you the whole night." Dani buries herself back into Megan's neck, her lips just grazing over her skin teasong her instead of pressing kisses on her skin like Megan had wanted. Not like she was going to start making requests now; that's not how things worked. She took what Dani gave her, never asked.

 

 

 

"I was. I thought-"

 

 

 

"Not enough. God, I was so bored without you Meg; you're so lucky you said no because they weren't going to let me take you. Said it looked comprising bring your back up dancer. You know that's not all you are to me right?" Well she certainly knows now if she hadnt before (she had a little bit of an idea that she would not let herself entertain). 

 

 

 

She definitely knows by the Dani is all the way on her lap now, both legs on the side of her hips. The weight of Dani on top of feeling different than did it ever had before. She definitely knows now that Dani had said it and continues to massage Megan's scalp, her lips finally pressing on her skin.

 

 

 

"I dont wanna hide you. You know that right; it's stupid if you ask me. Everyone should know you're with me. Like tonight." Tonight, when Dani had led her out of the place with a lipstick mark on her skin. They certainly knew know if they hadnt speculated before, knew before Megan.

 

 

 

"Did you seriously think it was something else when I did that in the bathroom?" Dani chuckles lowly, breathing making Megan's cheeks heat up.

 

 

 

"N-no guess not. Just didnt wanna get my hopes up I guess." It makes her laugh now at how purposely dense she had been. How long had Dani think they were something when Megan was trying to convince herself that it wad nothing?

 

 

 

"Well get them up now. I wanted to leave more you know; my lipstick looks good on you." Dani kisses her cheek again. Different before, slower, the press deeper than before. It makes her suck in a breath with how deeply she can feel Dani's lips on her cheek.

 

 

 

"Im so proud of you Meg." Megan doesnt think the praise had ever hit as hard as it had just now. She always held onto it more than she should've when Dani had said it to her before. After practice, whispers on stage, over the phone; all of the instances before eshe had slipped into a special part of her brain.

 

 

 

This one definitely takes the forefront with how close Dani's lips are to her ear. It hits harder now that Dani's takes space in her lap, hands around her neck, lips kissing under her eye like she wants to devote everything to her face. It definitely hits harder now that she had heard Dani say it, say that she wanted her.

 

 

 

"Yeah, what for?" She wants her to say it again, even if she's just saying it because she knows Megan likes it. She doesnt really care why she had said it. All she knows is that she needs to hear it again.

 

 

 

"The nomination, what else would I be talking about?" She doesnt understand; that's Dani's hard work. Why would Megan be taking any of the credit?

 

 

 

"That's not. That's your award. I didnt-" 

 

 

 

"I couldn't have done it without you. So it's yours too." Megan squirms once she feels Dani's tongue caressing along her jaw. She thinks her fingers pinch a little too hard on Dani's waist because she hears a hitch on her breath, one she enjoys way too much.

 

 

 

"What's mine is yours." The words along with Dani's tongue right below her ear make her shudders. A moan that she doesnt mean for it to slip out makes it's way out her mouth. The sound, high pitched and breathy, makes her reach her hand up to cover her up.

 

 

 

"And the other way around. That's mine too, and I wanna hear it. So don't cover it up." Dani swats her hand away, still kissing along her neck. Megan thinks she feels teeth; she knows Dani is trying to provoke her again.

 

 

 

Which she does quite successfully. Megan has to bit down on her lip to stop herself from being so loud. She couldnt; there are people next door. She wouldnt want them to-

 

 

 

"I've waited so long to get you to sound like that." The rasp of Dani's voice makes her finally realize how it she is. It feels like her pants cling to her too. Everything feels too tight, much to hot. She needs to take it off.

 

 

 

"Dani can I-"

 

 

 

"No, I'm busy. So stop moving." That certainly doesnt help the situation going on down there. It only makes it worse. It makes her feel dirty, in a good way. She feels coated with Dani. This is all for her isnt it; what's hers is Dani's.

 

 

 

She really shouldn't go there. She wonders if Dani feels the same under her clothes; itching to be touched there, skin all red and hot as if she was already getting touched thre. She wonders what Dani taste like. Just the thought makes her feel like she's one push from teetering over the edge.

 

 

 

"What's going on in that head of yours? I can never tell what's going on in there." Dani hums softly. Megan is sure teeth marks are etched in her skin by now. She's sure her skin has evidence of smeared, old makeup on it. 

 

 

 

"Nothing." Lie, a whole bunch of things. Like how Dani would feel against her fingers. How Dani's would feel against hers. And maybe if Dani's tongue was somewhere else. She wasnt gonna say that of course. She couldn't.

 

 

 

"Fucking liar. I know exactly what you look like right now. Bet you're thinking about touching me; you always have the same look when I hope you are." Megan feels her eyes flutter shut once she feels Dani's hand tug her head to the side, gripping at the sleeve of her shirt to pull it out of her way. 

 

 

 

"Tell me the truth. Come on." Dani prompts before her head is angled further down to kiss along Megan's collar bone.

 

 

 

 

"I am. I am. Thinking about it. Or you touching me, either one." Megan chokes out a whimper once she feels Dani's hand alip under the rest of her shirt, her reward for not letting her voice shake at her admission.

 

 

 

"Well, too bad you arent getting either one yet." Dani says smugly, darting her tongue over her skin like she wants her saliva to stain her.

 

 

 

"No, thats not fair-"

 

 

 

"Shut up, I said let me do what I want." Yes Dani, whatever you want.

 

 

 

"Yes Dani." She doesnt mean to say it out loud. And if she did she certainly didn't want it to sound like that, like she wss submitting to something. She wanted it to be a sarcastic remark (well at least that's what she wanted Dani to think). 

 

 

 

But instead it sounds like she wants it (truthfully she knows she does). Like she's willing to put up with whatever Dani has in mind.

 

 

 

"That's more like it." Thats not good (or it is since this is what she wanted). Megan knows what the look means, at least the one she imagined Dani to have since she's still to busy kissing anywhere but Megan's lips and buried basically in Megan's chest that's still too covered for her liking. 

 

 

 

She knows whatever look Dani has on her face means shes gonna have her fun, a lot of it.

 

 

 

"I'm still mad that you didnt realize how into you I was. So I dont think you deserve me touching you." Megan doesnt know what she whines more at the loss of: Dani's lips as she sits up to look at her, or the confirmation that she wont feel Dani's hands where she needs them the most.

 

 

 

"Please that isnt-"

 

 

 

"I dont want to hear any begging Meg, that's gonna make me cave." Dani cooes as she puts a finger on her lips. She think this is a game. Megan can tell by the way her tone is playful. She thinks Megan is just some toy (well Megan gladly volunteered as tribute so she guesses she cant complain)

 

 

 

"That's ok though. I'm not cruel. You dont think I'm cruel right?" Maybe right now, but I like it. Thankfully Megan manages to keep it an inside thought.

 

 

 

"No, no I dont." Megan answers instead. The safer answer. Because if she had answered what she really felt, she might be denying herself even more.

 

 

 

"Good, cause I'll give you something. Just a little because I cant help myself. And you won't be able to either, not when I'm done." Megan is more thrilled at the prospect than she should be. And she knows Dani can see it in her eyes; the way her smile widens tells her all she needs to know.

 

 

 

Megan doesnt know what she expected. She expected it to be more torturous on her end (which she'd sure it will be very soon) but this feels good. Too good. She's ready to get on her knees and thank Dani for giving her this much.

 

 

 

She thinks she's rather appreciative enough (though she wouldn't mind doing as she mentioned) as she drops her head back as Dani nudges her knee towards her crotch. Megan feels heat shot through her once she feels Dani's skin.

 

 

 

Well she wishes she did; her pants are still unfortunately in the way. Pants that she knows Dani will not let her take off. So this has to be enough. The way Dani digs her knee into her has to be enough.

 

 

 

"Dani." Megan sighs, eyes fluttering and her hands sliding up Dani's torso to bring her closer.

 

 

 

"No, take what I give you. Take it." Dani scolds, retracting her knee once she feels Megan trying to guide her closer.

 

 

 

"Ok, ok. Just... Come back." Megan groans, hips rocking to chase her knee.

 

 

 

"Doesnt it feel good? Hmm, does it?" It would feel better if your clothes were off but sure. This will do. This will do because she can still feel the heat of Dani's skin through the fabric. She can still still feel Dani's nails on her neck. So yes, it's enough, for now anyway.

 

 

 

"I wanted to this to you in the back of the car; ride your knee. I wonder how it would feel with leather." She didnt mean to be so loud, but what had Dani expected her to do after she said that? That along with the fact that Dani only drives further into her, touching her in the ways she needed but not really. Just dangling the contact she desired in front of her, seeing if she was brave enough to take it.

 

 

 

"You wouldn't know how to be quiet. The driver would know. Everyone would know; dont you know I want them to?" Clearly, evidently so now. It's almost as if Dani is trying to make her be louder, her grip on Megan's chin to yank her mouth open.

 

 

 

"Dani s-stop." Does she really want her to? Or is she afraid of getting caught? Or worse, does she want to?

 

 

 

"I thought you were gonna let me do what I wanted? Isn't that what you agree do Meg?" Megan is sure her wetness is seeping through her pants; she hopes it is anyway. She wants Dani to be able to feel how she's making her feel.

 

 

 

"I did." 

 

 

 

"Then don't tell me what to do, especially if you dont mean it." Dani says with a kiss of her teeth.

 

 

 

 

"I'm sorry." Megan mumbles as she feels another forceful jut of Dani's knee towards her. One that makes her muscles flex, the same ones Megan cant resist the urge of palming as Dani's knee drives at her.

 

 

 

 

"I know. Just dont do it again. Or it'll be worse. Or better since you clearly are droolng about it." Dani hums, her thumb sweeping Megan's bottom lip that hangs because she's trying to catch her breath. 

 

 

 

Dani's pace has picked up; she can barely keep up. She cant rock her hips as fast as she wants so she can meet Dani halfway. Maybe she likes it that way. That way it feels like Dani is handling her. 

 

 

 

"You're making such a mess. You think they talk about this, since you're so concerned with everyone." She'd rather not think about what people speculate that Megan does on Dani's knee.

 

 

 

 

"I'm not." Megan whimpers, a pull of her hair not making it easier.

 

 

 

"Sure you arent. Sure seemed like it tonight. Felt like you were running away from me. That's why I did that in the bathroom; so even if you ran away, I would still be on you." She cant say things like that if she doesn't want Megan to combust. And she's sure that Dani doesn't want that, at least not yet. She wants to drag it out, make sure she's getting her times worth.

 

 

 

 

 

"You think they know; know that I marked up your neck? Or that you wish you could get permission to take your clothes off? You think they're thinking about how you sound? I hope not." She hopes not either. It's just for Dani, no one else.

 

 

 

 

"You know how good you looked tonight? Well, of course you did; you look good in everything." Megan can really hear much of what Dani is saying right now. Or rather she cant really focus too much. Her own panting is distracting her.

 

 

 

 

"Im so glad Lara already had your measurements. It would've looked weird if I just recited them off the top of my head. Do you think that's weird?" Weridly hot. Maybe she would change her mind later but she cant really think straight right now. Not with the way Dani herself sounds like she's getting out of breath, balancing herself so she can drive her knee upward into Megan properly.

 

 

 

"No, no. It's not." 

 

 

 

 

"Good, cause I think I know too much about you. I wanna know everything Megan." Who knew Megan had a thing for obsessive tendencies; you learn something new everyday.

 

 

 

"I wanted you to feel perfect, cause you look it every night. Did you feel like it?" Well she does know with the way Dani is talking to her.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah, cause of you." Megan mutters, eyes shut trying to force herself to feel through the fabric that is acting as a barrier to her and Dani.

 

 

 

 

"Good, that was the goal. It was meant for me, but she fixed it. Not one thing though; I told her to keep my initials." Her head swirls with images of Dani's initials being right on top of her skin the whole night. Over her shoulder, under her bra, below her thigh, caressing her- It was too much. Too much that Megan knows what the shake of her legs mean.

 

 

 

 

"You like that dont you? I do. I like it so much Meg." Megan thinks Dani losing herself in the image she has in her head, because her hands traveled somewhere they hadnt been all night. She can't tell Dani forgets herself a little as her hands cling to her thighs, eyes shut tight like she's trying to see something that isnt there.

 

 

 

 

Megan knows she shouldn't, but she takes advantage of it. She has to; this is the closer she'll get to what she needed. She reaches one of her hands to lay on top of Dani's. The sliver of contact is almost enough, until Dani yanks her hands away.

 

 

 

"I didn't give you that, you dont get to take it." A bite of her lip comes as Dani's voice dips as she scolds her.

 

 

 

 

"I need it." It doesnt feel like want anymore, way past that.

 

 

 

 

"And I needed you. But I didnt just fuck you in the bathroom did I?" The bathroom at the party? Was she considering it? Megan feels a new sense of arousal flow through her at the possibility.

 

 

 

"No, would you have?" She knows it's a dangerous ask with how close she is but she has to.

 

 

 

 

"Guess you'll never know. I'll give you something else though." Dani says like she's being generous. Which is when Megan should've known that whatever Dani was going to do would be the death of her.

 

 

 

"Yes, yes. I'll take it." Granted, she's a little desperate at this point. Maybe this time Dani will touch her, or let her touch.

 

 

 

Megan watches Dani's hands travel from down her...well she doesnt realy know where, she was a little preoccupied with looking into Dani's eyes. But she could guess as her gaze focuses on Dani's fingers as they travel up to her mouth. The glisten on them makes her pulse jump. Please tell her that's what she thinks it is.

 

 

 

 

"This is what you could've had if you didn't make me pissed off. Taste." Dani murmers as she shoves her two fingers past her lips.

 

 

 

 

 

The tastes finally makes Megan break, she can't hold it anymore. She hopes Dani won't be mad. But she couldnt have expected Megan not to react when she lays that on her tongue. It would feel better if Dani was touching her. In a way she is; she's in her mouth, she made her, so maybe Dani had touched her. Without touching her at all.

 

 

 

She can feel it dripping down her shaking leg, Dani's knee longer in between her. She needs to breath, cant her breath. Her mouth opens around Dani's fingers, just a little. Something Dani doesn't like too much.

 

 

 

"Dont waste it Megan. This is all you're getting." Megan gags a little when she feels Dani's fingers shoved deeper in her mouth. She thinks she can feel her eyes water as she sucks. 

 

 

 

She doesnt stop until Dani retracts her fingers, until she thinks it's enough. And even then, Megan doesnt think it is. But it doesnt matter because Dani said it was. 

 

 

 

 

Now she can catch her breath. She's sure her cheeks are flushed, her hair disheveled, her skin discolored, clothes ruined. She cant wait to see it all in a mirror.

 

 

 

 

"You get it now?" 

 

 

 

"I do." And she's heavily regretting waiting so long to.

 

 

 

 

"Bet you came and I didnt even have to touch you." Of course she knows; Megan wasn't exactly subtle about it. She's sure her hands reached up to grab at Dani. She's sure she was so loud that next door could hear too.

 

 

 

 

"Dont you wanna find out much better it'll be when I do?" Oh boy did she. Question was if Dani was going to.
