Chapter 8: A Second First Date
When Selena woke up early the next morning and found herself in Demi's warm embrace it took a few seconds for her to remember what had gone on the previous night. Their talk on the beach came back to her along with the walk back to the hotel which was filled with a comfortable silence until they reached their hotel room where they crawled into bed and after stealing a few kisses they fell asleep in each other's arms. It was like all her hopes, prayers and dreams from the last year had been answered all at once and there was literally nothing that could even make her remotely upset or bring her down in any way. She had Demi again, and that was all that really mattered at the moment. After a few minutes of watching the girl sleep(Quite adorably so as little snores came from the younger girl and her mouth moved as though she was talking in her sleep) Selena decided to try and get up to take a quick shower. As she began shifting around to get out of Demi's embrace she didn't notice Demi had woken up and as Selena attempted to get up she felt herself being pulled back into Demi's arms.
"nuh-uh." She heard Demi mumble, her eyes still shut hoping she could get a few more minutes of sleep while holding Selena in her arms.
"Stay here."
Selena couldn't help but let a small giggle escape her lips as she turned to face Demi.
"But I have go shower." Selena told her.
"I won't be that long I promise."
With a slight pout Demi let Selena out of her grasp and the older girl headed into the bathroom while Demi lay in bed, she too thinking about the events of the previous night. She still couldn't believe that Selena had agreed to give her a second chance. After everything that had happened between them she was sure that it would take a lot more to convince Selena but after everything was finally put on the table and they were honest with each other about their feelings everything just fell into place. Just after Selena had turned the shower on a few of Selena's words from the previous night had come back to her.
"But just so you know, that doesn't give you permission to not take me on a proper first date"
A light bulb went off in Demi's head and she rolled over to grab the phone and called the restaurant downstairs, making a reservation for later that night. As she hung up the phone the bathroom door opened revealing Selena in one of the hotel's complimentary bath robes.
"Better?" Demi asked.
"Yep." Selena replied making herself comfortable beside Demi on the bed, eventually lying beside her and giving Demi a peck on the lips.
"Good morning." Selena said with a smile once she broke the kiss.
"Good morning." Demi replied.
"You sleep okay?"
"Pretty good considering someone was snoring in my ear and mumbling in their sleep." Selena replied with a giggle.
"How about you?"
"Good...wait, what was I mumbling about?" Demi asked worriedly. Though it rarely happened, she knew she had let a few embarrassing things slip when she mumbled in her sleep, and sometimes it happened while others were around and awake to hear her.
"Don't worry; nothing too embarrassing." Selena replied with a smirk. A look of panic quickly spread across Demi's face, making Selena giggle.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." Selena assured her.
"You're mean, you know that?" Demi said with a pout.
"But you love me." Selena informed her with a coy smile, and before Demi could say anything Selena connected their lips in a kiss. As the girls quickly lost track of the real world they failed to hear a tiny knock at the door. The door opened revealing the hotel maid who was (needless to say) caught off guard by the two girls. Selena was the first one to notice the flustered maid and she quickly tried to save her and Demi from their current embarrassment.
"uhh.. we um..." Selena tried to come up an excuse for their current position but came up short. She was still trying to stammer out her excuse when the maid decided to just back out of the room and close the door behind her before anyone could say a word.
"Scarring the maid...that wasn't exactly on the agenda." Demi said, trying her best not to laugh. But that was all forgotten a few moments later when both girls burst into hysterics.
"Okay, Okay, I need to hop into the shower if we're going to get some sight-seeing done before tonight." Demi said rolling to the side of the bed and standing up to head into the shower.
"What's happening tonight?" Selena asked.
"Our second first date; wear something sexy!" Demi called out closing the bathroom door behind her. Selena could only roll her eyes with an amused smirk on her face as she heard the shower start up. While Demi was in the shower Selena phoned room service and ordered breakfast for them, a stack of chocolate chip pancakes along with scrambled eggs and bacon.
"So where did you want to go today?" Demi asked as she and Selena sat down for breakfast. While planning out their trip Demi knew it was important to at least have a day or two to just let them choose what they wanted to do, and not have the day scheduled where they had to be somewhere at a specific time.
"We haven't done much shopping since we got here so maybe we could do that. I really wanna stop by that one little shop across from the grocery store." Selena replied.
"Okay, wanna head out after breakfast?" Demi asked.
"Sure, I want to get a new dress and maybe some shoes for tonight." Selena replied.
"Since I didn't really bring anything that would be date appropriate with me."
After the girls finished breakfast they headed out towards the nearby grocery store, where there were little shops and boutiques just across the road. When they had filmed Princess Protection Program Demi and Selena had spent a lot of time looking around and shopping at the store and even got to know the owner and clerks by name. As they entered the store they went straight towards the dress racks and started flipping through the dresses. After pulling a few dresses from the rack Selena and Demi went to the change rooms so Selena could try on dresses and Demi could help her choose one. The first dress she picked was a simple white dress, it was somewhat similar to her dress she wore at the 2009 teen choice awards but it definitely had a more casual vibe to it.
"What you think?" Selena asked stepping out of the dressing room in the first dress.
"Which opinion do you want? The best friend's version or the girlfriend's?" Demi replied.
"Both." Selena decided, hoping that she would get an idea of how the dress looked by the combination of opinions.
"Well from your best friend's point of view, you look amazing, from your girlfriend's point of view...wow."
Selena giggled and thanked Demi before heading back into the dressing room to try on another dress. As predicted Demi said the same thing about the next few dresses (because in Demi's opinion Selena could wear a burlap sack and still look sexy as hell.) but Selena still couldn't decide which dress she wanted to wear. So after choosing two of the dresses to buy she started looking at the tops and jeans. First, she pulled out a pair of skinny jeans along with a white V- neck shirt and a black vest. As she looked at herself in the mirror she had to admit she looked hot. With that Selena quickly changed back into her old clothes so Demi didn't see her outfit until they left later that night. As they continued to look around Selena found the perfect pair of suede boots to go with her outfit and Demi had also found quite a few things she could choose from to wear that night. After picking their final things the girls paid for their stuff and headed back to the hotel to drop off their stuff so they could walk around town for a little bit and do a bit more sight-seeing. As they walked around San Juan they pointed out old buildings that they had remembered from filming, stores and restaurants they frequented (some to the point of the owners saving them their own table) and of course places that held special "had to be there" moments for them.
"We should probably head back now; by the time we get back we'll probably have just enough time to get ready." Demi said after nearly two hours of walking around and the girls made their way back to the hotel. Twenty minutes later Selena was locked in the bathroom, fixing her hair and make-up to look just perfect for the night ahead. She opted to keep her hair down but curled her hair a bit more than usual to give it a little extra bounce, then put on some darker eye shadow and eye liner, and the perfect red lipstick that made her lips pop.
"Selll." Selena heard Demi whine from the other side of the door.
"Are you almost done?"
"Just a few more minutes miss whiney." Selena replied as she put the finishing touches to her outfit together. After giving herself the once over to make sure she was done, Selena opened the bathroom door.
"Final..." Demi was almost at a loss for words at the sight before her. Selena had gone with an almost rocker look with dark skinny jeans, a white V-Neck shirt and mini vest (which made her chest all that more noticeable) paired with brown suede boots and her hair and make-up suited her look extremely well. Needless to say she looked absolutely stunning.
"You like?" Selena asked somewhat seductively, her girlfriends gawking eyes not once leaving her.
"You could say that." Was all Demi could say.
"Well you don't clean up so bad yourself." Selena replied. Demi had decided to go with her favourite Helmut Lang Sugar Dress (the one from her Milan M&G) and opted to pair it off with one of her favourite pairs of Laboutin heels. Her hair, like Selena's, was left down in its natural curl but none the less looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Thanks. So shall we go?" Demi asked offering her arm out for Selena to take.
"Yes, we shall." Selena replied with the biggest smile her face would allow. With arms linked together the girls made their way down to the lobby and into the restaurant where they were quickly met by the waiter who showed them to their table. Thankfully the waiter had seated them somewhere fairly private where no one would be able to bother them and they were left by themselves to figure out what to order.
"So how do you think our parents are gunna take it?" Demi asked as she and Selena scanned their menus.
"Us being back together, I mean."
"I think they'll be happy. I mean they saw it coming the first time they probably knew something was up this time too." Selena replied. The first time the girls had tried dating, breaking it to their parents was the most nerve wracking part. But they were both relieved when both parents told them that they were 100% supportive of their relationship, and even admitted they had seen it coming for a while.
"That's true. I bet Dallas and Maddie probably had a bet going on or something about us getting back together. I wouldn't put it past them." Demi said with a slight eye roll.
"Are you girls ready to order?" the waiter came and asked. Demi gave her order to the waiter but Selena seemed to still be indecisive. She continued to scan the menu and Demi only watched her girlfriend in amusement as she tried to decide what to have, biting her lip in a way that Demi found absolutely adorable as she tried to make up her mind. Finally she decided on what she wanted and gave the waiter her order before he left to grab them their drinks. While they waited the girls talked about what their next step was as far as going public with their relationship. Demi knew very well that that was what had caused their downfall three years earlier (along with a few other things) and she didn't want to push Selena into going public too soon like she had tried to before.
"I think when the time is right we can go public. But I think for now we should just enjoy the fact it's something between us and not a million other people." Selena replied. She knew how bad it got when she and Justin went public before and it had put some strain on their relationship, and she didn't want that with her and Demi, especially with it being their second chance.
"I agree. Besides it'll be a nice little challenge to see how long it'll take for the press to find out." Demi added. After their drinks and food had arrived the girls spent the rest of their night talking and laughing (and playing footsie under the table). Almost too quickly the girls were finished dinner and the waiter had stopped by to take the girls plates and cups.
"Would you like to take a look at our dessert menu?" the waiter asked as he began to clear the girls table off.
"No, that's fine." Selena was quick to answer. Demi gave Selena a questioning look but Selena only looked at Demi with a suggestive look in her eyes.
"I think we have dessert figured out."
