Demi thought there was just something so beautiful about this morning. The sun's brightness nearly blinded her, yet she didn't put her shades on. She beamed at how weird it was to have no worries for the next two weeks. Between X-Factor and planning for her tour, she was completely fatigued.

So when her vacation began, she completely locked herself in her apartment and watched Netflix, ate Haagen-Dazs rum raisin ice cream and ate all the junk food she desired. It was mostly Haagen-Dazs. Never would Demi imagine that she would miss her hectic schedule. Changing from having only 4-5 hours a week to having a whole day to herself was too much. She could barely find enough things to do. She already rewatched Game of Thrones and finished what aired of the walking dead. She barely had anything to do.

That was before Selena walked back into her life. True, she never truly left her side, but there was a wall between them that both knew was there. Neither girls wanted to acknowledge how distant they had grown, so made an unspoken agreement to be around each other less. Selena would always bring Taylor or anyone else along when Demi invited her out. The younger brunette got the clue and adjusted. She decided she would just make friends with Taylor or whoever Selena brought along. Selena had tried so much to be there for Demi and support her that the least that Demi could do was try just as hard now that Selena seemed a bit…distrusting.

After five days, Demi decided to get her butt out of her apartment and get some snacks. She would surprise Selena at her home and would bring her the fanciest fucking pickles at Publix and chips and Key lime pie (Selena's favorite) and so much Mountain Dew. She decided this amount of items were enough as she didn't want to carry that many—

I almost forgot my Rum raisin icecream.

The brunette made a beeline for the only open register and made her way so her friend's house. All before 11 am.

When Selena heard her buzzer go off, she ignored it. She was sure it was her mother who surely lost the keys to her apartment again. She wondered why she gave it to her mother in the first place. She barely remembered where she kept it, anyway. Selena decided to give up on her slumber when her phone started ringing a tune that was now her least favorite.

Some vacation this is..

As soon as she answered her phone she recognized the voice on the other hand. It was an excited Demi who wanted to spend the day together. She wanted the earth to swallow her whole. First of all, she was sleepy as fuck and her hair was a mess. Second of all…well, the girl couldn't come up with a second reason because she could hear the excitement in Demi's voice about all of the snacks that she had brought over and, quite frankly, Selena had nothing in her fridge.

Plus, that warmth she felt when Demi hugged her knocked her right back a few year. Just like that, her mind decided that just for today, she would be sixteen again. She was happy. Because at sixteen, everything was easier. At sixteen, she remembered bashfully reaching for Demi's hand while they were walking on the beach. Even though Demi didn't see anything special about two friends holding hands, Selena's notion of "friends" became foggier as the days passed.

Demi was in her house. They were, for the first time in four years, alone. However, Selena decided to push her worries out of her mind and ate the best pickles she's ever had, Doritos, and that ice cream that Demi loved so much. The girl even fed it to her.

Demi decided that Selena was no friend of hers if she hadn't watched Game of Thrones, so she got Selena hooked on the show just by showing her the pilot. It was hands, down the best show Selena had seen. Selena had heard so much about the show, and, in her opinion, it was quite underrated. It was that good.

After watching five episodes of the show, Selena decided to give Demi a surprise of her own and brought the girl's old guitar. It had been in Selena's possession for about five years. She never had the courage to give it back to Demi and was honestly lucky that she either forgot to ask her for it, or just didn't want to ask Selena for it. The toothy smile Demi gave her when Selena brought the instrument, reminded Selena that she loved having the guitar because she remember the way the girl just became different when she played. She became one with her music. Staring at the musician strumming her guitar on Selena's floor, she got goosebumps at how beautiful Demi's voice sounded. She had listened to some of her performances on Youtube and had even gone to some of her concerts, with Taylor, of course. Yet, having the girl singing in her room gave her peace.

So, Selena finds herself more relaxed than she's ever been and stretches on her bed. She feels drowsiness beginning to spread over her body. The girl rests for a few minutes.

She's spooked when she feels a hand over her stomach and jerks up. She smacks her forehead on Demi's and falls back down.

"Ow!"

She can tell that Demi is trying to keep her voice down. As if Selena could possibly go back to sleep after this.

"I was trying to reach for my purse."

"Are you—" An inopportune yawn stopped the girl's question. Demi chuckled and this time retrieved her purse.

"I bet you're tired, so—" She gestures towards the door.

But Selena was gone the moment her eyes locked with Demi and, she wasn't sure if it was just the darkness of the room but Demi looked at her the way she when she was fifteen. Except that this Demi was different. She was sweet and caring, and Selena didn't feel like she had to try and get secrets out of her. She didn't feel like she had to try to keep the girl from falling apart.

So Selena reaches for Demi's hand and asks her to stay. Even for a couple of minutes. She's not sure if Demi finds the way Selena strokes her way odd. She's not sure if this still falls in the friendly range, so when Demi lies next to her she lifts her hands to caress the younger girl's face. Her face is so silky that Selena has to bite her tongue so that she won't ask what makes her face so soft.

That definitely falls in the friends range.

"You know, I sometimes wonder if you have any idea how beautiful you really are." Selena's heart speeds once she says this because this surely doesn't fall in the friendly category. And Demi props herself on one arm and places a kiss on Selena's cheek, as if to test the waters. But, Selena freezes under her.

Heck, there's no coming back from this anyway

Demi kisses her. Selena's sense are heightened, because, even though she's been kissed before, the way Demi's lips brush hers drives mad. And, when she presses those pouty lips against Selena's she can feel the warmth emitting from Demi's mouth. Oh, that makes her shamelessly wet. But, what makes her moan is when Demi pulls away and their lips make a low smacking noise that she is sure Demi hasn't heard because the brunette's tongue is begging Selena for entrance to her mouth, either by running her tongue across the bottom or just nibbling on it.

Yeah, there was no coming back.
