Selena's POV
The rest of the morning was lovely. We went on the bumper cars and Alyssa and I pushed Lucy on the swings. We all went on the bouncy castle together and then we went into café at around one o'clock. Lucy got the ice-cream she was promised and Alyssa and I got coffee's. Lucy wanted to try it but she was hyper enough so Alyssa told her that if she caught her drinking coffee she would take her ice-cream off her.
At half one, we decided to leave. I gave Lucy a piggy back to the car because she kept trying to run back to the swings, but the poor girl was too tired to play anymore, anyone could see that.
Once we were all in the car I started driving down the road to get Alyssa and Lucy home. After about five minutes in the car Lucy was fast asleep after speaking rapidly about how much she loved Jeremy the Donkey and needed a pet donkey for her birthday.
"Are you ready to go and face the music?" I asked Alyssa who took in a shaky breath after we pulled up outside her house. She leant back against the seat and closed her eyes, shaking her head to tell me she wasn't ready.
"She's going to freaking kill me." Alyssa muttered quietly. I smiled sadly at her although I knew she couldn't see me and took her hand in mine. I stroked the back of her hand with my thumb and lifted it up to kiss her knuckles softly.
"You'll be okay, and if it gets to bad then text me and I'll come pick you both up." I told her with a smile as I looked in the back at Lucy who was still sound asleep. Alyssa opened her eyes and looked into mine with a smile.
"I will do. Thank you for an amazing time. I'll text you about tomorrow morning later on today." She said with a small smile that said she was happy but still frightened. I smiled back at her and leant forward to capture her lips in between mine. It was short and quick, but it made Alyssa seem less stiff and worried.
"Okay then. I'll see you later." I told her as I unlocked the doors and she hopped out. She went to the back and lifted Lucy out of her seat, making sure that the sleeping child didn't wake up. "Do you want to take the seat?" I asked her.
"Nah, I'll leave it. I'll put it back in our car when you bring me home on Monday or tomorrow or something." She whispered so that she didn't wake Lucy up. "I'll see you later baby." She said as she looked me in the eyes. I smiled and nodded once.
"Yeah, I'll text you tonight or something." I replied. Alyssa looked at her house then back at me. "Goodbye." I said with a smile as I pressed the button to make the doors close and watched as Alyssa walked up the small drive and into the house with one last wave through the window once she was inside. I started the car engine again and drove down the road to go back home.
Once I got home my mom greeted me with a hug and a smile then led me into the living room. We sat and watched TV for a while before she spoke to me.
"So I didn't know that Alyssa had a daughter?" She asked questioningly.
"Yeah, Lucy's three. She's really adorable. We went to the park, she went on the donkeys, we played on the bumper cars and things, then I gave her a piggy-back to the car and she fell asleep. She's really sweet." I told her with a smile. My mom shook her head and looked down at the mug of coffee in her hands.
"That's sweet. Gosh, Alyssa must have been really young when she had her." My mom said with a half-smile, half-frown on her face.
"Yeah, I think she was about fourteen. She was an accident obviously but I think it's sweet that she kept her because most teenagers in her situation would have just gotten rid." I told her with a shrug of my shoulders.
"Absolutely. You know, if you ever end up in that sort of predicament at whatever age, I will support you no matter what." My mom assured me before she took a sip of her drink.
"Mom, I'm gay. I don't think I'll be sleeping with a boy any time soon or ever, funnily enough." I told her sarcastically. My mom chuckled and shook her head. "Oh, Miss. Lovato invited us to her house for dinner tomorrow. Can we go?" I asked.
"Of course we can if you want too, when did you see her?" She asked confusedly.
"Oh she was in the park." I told her as I pulled my iPhone out and quickly tapped in a text to Miss. Lovato telling her we could come. She texted back after a few moments saying great, and I put my phone back in my pocket.
The next day.
Alyssa came over at eleven AM. She brought Lucy with her but she was napping when they arrived so Alyssa put her upstairs in the guest room and came back downstairs with my blanket. She flung it over both of us and we cuddled up watching Jennifer's body. Just as the movie was finishing my phone buzzed in my pocket with a text from Miss. Lovato.
1 new message: Demi. :]
Dinner will be ready for around five, so do you and your mom want to come round at about half four? xx
I smiled. It was weird, getting two kisses on a text from a teacher. Heck, it was weird getting a text from a teacher in the first place but one with two kisses? Oh well, I just brushed it off and texted back.
Yeah sure, see you then. :]] xx
I figured using two texts back wouldn't make it obvious that I liked her really, because she put two to me. I sent the text and smiled when she texted back a few moments later.
That's great. See you later xx
I put my phone back in my pocket and looked at Alyssa who was asleep; she must have fallen asleep during the movie. She was lying with her head in my lap and her feet on the couch, and I was holding her hand and stroking her hair with my free hand. I felt really comfortable like that, I love being close with girls.
"Alyssa? Alyssa honey, wake up." I whispered shaking her slightly. She stirred a little but didn't wake. I shook her harder until her eyes fluttered open and she yawned before sitting up.
"Huh? What?" She asked as she sat up quickly.
"The movie finished so I figured I'd wake you up." I told her with a shrug of my shoulders. Alyssa rubbed her eyes tiredly and smiled at me before pecking my lips. I stretched my body because it was slightly stiff from sitting still for an hour and three quarters.
"Thanks. That was a really comfy sleep you know." She stated with a grin. I leant into her and captured her lips softly between mine. Seconds later, whilst we were still kissing, a sweet voice was heard from the doorway singing tiredly.
"Mommy and 'Lena sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-… I forgotted the rest of the spelling." She said sweetly complete with a blush. Alyssa pulled away from me and chuckled before I got up and ran over to Lucy. I tickled her stomach and she giggled uncontrollably, rolling around on the floor trying everything in her power to stop me from tickling her. Alyssa chuckled and after about two minutes Lucy gasped out, "'Lena… Stop…"
"Haha, you're awake now then are you, you cheeky little madam." I told her as I picked her up and walked back to the couch before sitting down with Lucy on my lap and changing the TV channel to a kid's channel.
"Yeah. Mommy, I'm hungry." She whined as she crawled off of my lap and onto Alyssa's.
"Okay then baby, I'll take you home and feed you. Why don't you go and put your shoes on then we can go?" Alyssa asked with a small smile. Lucy nodded and jumped off her mom's lap down onto the floor. I looked at Alyssa sadly and moved so that I was sitting on her lap, straddling her waist.
"You have to go?" I muttered to her with my lips just centimetres from hers. I could feel her breath on my lips as she nodded slowly. I closed my eyes and crashed my lips into hers. Her hands rested on my hips whilst I wrapped my arms around her neck. A small cough pulled us apart and caused us to both look at the doorway where Lucy was standing with her Nike trainers on and half-done-up, and a pink Hannah Montana jacket on that covered her red t-shirt and blue denim shorts.
"I'll see you tomorrow baby, I'll pick you up at the normal time and I'll text you when I get back from Miss. Lovato's house." I told her before I quickly pecked her lips one last time and climbed off of her lap so she could get up.
"Okay then, I'll speak to you later." She said with a small smile as she got up and took Lucy's small hand in hers. I went over to Lucy and crouched down in front of her so that I was the same height as her.
"Right kiddo. Behave for your mommy and I'll see you probably tomorrow morning." I said as I looked up to Alyssa for confirmation.
"Can you take me to nursery?" She asked sweetly. I looked to Alyssa again to silently ask permission. She nodded and I looked back to Lucy.
"I don't think I can take you sweetie because we'll be at school, but I can pick you up after?" I offered after I realised that she was usually still at home when I picked Alyssa up for school.
"Yah." She said excitedly. I smiled and ruffled her hair before getting up back to normal height. I hugged Alyssa tightly and kissed her neck.
"See you." I whispered. "Bye Luce." I said with a wave. They both said goodbye and left. I closed the door behind them then went to find my mom who was in the games room on the xbox 360 elite playing rock band. Child.
"Hey mom?" I asked.
"Yeah sweetie?" She asked without taking her eyes off the screen to see which colour drum she had to hit next.
"Miss. Lovato wants us to go around for about half four today so can you be ready for quarter past?" I asked. She paused the game and turned to look at me.
"Honey I'm sorry, something's come up, I have to go to a meeting with your dad's and my bank to see if I can open another account because we've reached the maximum amount we can put in there, I can't make it tonight, but you can still go if you want." She said with an apologetic smile. I could tell she felt guilty but she had no reason too, it's not like she was always changing our plans. Actually, I think this was the first time she'd done it. Ever.
"Its okay mom, I'll check if its okay for me to go on my own and I'll go if it is. Don't worry about it." I told her with a smile to assure her that I wasn't upset.
"Okay then sweetie. I'm sorry about this." She said with an apologetic smile as she hugged me briefly. I smiled back and left the room, hearing the music restart on Rock band.
I went into the living room and whipped my phone out of my pocket.
My mom can't make it today. Is it cool with you if I just come round? xx
I sent the text as I sat on the couch. I noticed the kids channels were still on and switched it over to MTV. Taylor Swift 'Mine' was playing and I smiled at the song. I loved Taylor Swift, I think every teenage girl could relate to her songs in one way or another.
My iPhone buzzed and I got it out to read the text.
1 new message: Demi. :]
Yeah that's fine. You can come round whenever you're ready. I live atThirty Two Android Road and just to let you know, it's not going to be formal like at yours, so don't bother dressing up all fancy xx
I nodded then realised she wouldn't know that I'd nodded so I quickly texted a reply.
Okay then, I'll come round in about an hour if that's okay with you? xx
My phone buzzed once again with a reply.
Okay, see you then xx
I didn't reply, instead I went upstairs and into my closet to decide on my outfit for the night. I decided on a black Kelly Clarkson shirt that was baggy, and dark blue boyfriend fit Henley's jeans. I got changed quickly, not bothering to shower because I already showered in the morning.
I straightened my hair and put on a small amount of foundation and eyeliner before grabbing my car keys and key pad from my nightstand. I put my phone in my pocket and went downstairs to quickly say goodbye to my mom. It had taken me forty five minutes to get ready and according to my satnav it would only take me ten minutes to get to Miss. Lovato's house.
The drive was long but short, it was a short drive but it took ages, perhaps because I was nervous about the night. The last time Miss. Lovato and I had dinner out of school we ended up kissing. I just hoped she wouldn't be drinking again tonight, but in another way, I really hoped she was. I just felt bad on Alyssa for thinking it.
I pulled up outside her house; it was about a tenth of the size of mine with no exaggeration. I looked through the window on the front of the semi-detached house and saw Miss. Lovato sitting on the couch with a laptop on her lap. She was wearing a red low-cut long-sleeved jumper but it wasn't thick. She also had grey sweats on which I loved on girls… and glasses which I didn't know she wore… oh god.
I locked my car and walked up to knock the door. She answered it and smiled at me before pulling me into a hug.
"Hey Selena, how're you?" She asked me with a small grin after releasing me from the hug.
"I'm good thanks. How're you?" I asked back with a matching smile.
"I'm great… come on in, make yourself comfortable. We're having fried chicken and fries for dinner, Demi style." She said proudly with a wink. I chuckled and followed her into the house through the small corridor and to the living room. It was small, about the size of my bathroom to be exact. There was one red couch, a coffee table and a TV on a stand with a DVD player and Nintendo Wii underneath it. There was a laptop on the coffee table and a picture of Miss. Lovato and a pretty woman with long blonde hair who I recognised as Kristen from the coffee shop.
"Sit down and make yourself at home. I need to finish cutting the fries and battering the chicken. Would you like a drink?" She asked as she pointed to the couch. I shook my head with a smile.
"No thank you, but I'll help you with the food if you'd like?" I offered politely, hoping to spend more time in the same room as her. Miss. Lovato, or Demi whilst not on school premises, smiled at me, a smile that reached her eyes.
"You don't have to help me cook, I invited you, remember?" She reminded me with that same eye-reaching smile on her face. I nodded.
"I know, I want to help though if you don't mind." I told her, matching her facial expression.
"Well in that case then, would you mind cutting the fries?" She asked as she led me into the kitchen. It was smaller than the living room. There were marble-look counters all around and a matching oven built into one of them. There was a black sink and refrigerator and white cupboards above the counters. There was raw chicken, some coated in bread crumbs, and some waiting to be coated, and a few potatoes waiting to be cut into fries.
"I absolutely would not mind. Do you want them thin or thick?" I asked her.
"The others are thin but do them however you want." She said with a smile. I nodded and started to cut the fries to match the others. After fifteen minutes of chatting about school I was finished cutting the fries and was surprised when I turned around and received a face full of flour.
"Hey! What was that for?" I asked slightly shocked that my teacher had just thrown a handful of flour in my face. Aren't teachers supposedly mature?
"I was done with the chicken and I had some flour left over… I thought it would look good on your face." She replied with a slight tint to her cheeks. She looked adorable when she blushed.
"Oh, it's on." I told her with a wink.
Ten reviews for an update, and the Demena will happen in either the next chapter or the one after. Sorry for the wait. :P
