So it's been awhile since I last posted this and I apologize for that. I've written a lot more now so I will get those up for you within a few days or so. I hope you enjoy this one though :)
~ On Saturday, Demi's P.O.V. ~
Breathe, breathe. It's only a date. Yeah. Just a date... with Selena Russo! Ahh! It's finally happening! I can't believe it! Okay, I need to calm down. Breathe, breathe. Okay, much better. I'm really hoping that tonight will be the night. And it's not what you're thinking you perves. I meant, tonight is the night that I'm going to ask Selena to be my girlfriend. I know, I know. You're probably all thinking, "Isn't that a bit too soon?" Well, it would be if I hadn't already like her for four years. Which I do. I'm really hoping that she will say yes. If she doesn't, I'd be heartbroken. Yup. Big, bad, player Demi Torres would be heartbroken if sweet, caring Selena said no. I know I shouldn't be thinking the negative but I really just can't help it. I really like -practically love- Selena and if she says no, I really just don't know what I'd do. But enough about that. I need to go and get ready for my date with Selena. My DATE with Selena! Oh my gosh! It just hit me again. Full force this time. Oh, god. I can't breathe. Ahh! Here we go again. Hey wait a minute. That could be a great title to a song. Hmm, Here We Go Again. I'll have to look into it later. I REALLY have to get ready right now for my you-know-what with you-know-who.
After I quickly showered, I ran into my room wearing only a towel and opened my closet in search of something to wear. Damn! Why hadn't I done this earlier? Me and my procrastination. I gotta work on that. Ooh! Perfect! I pulled out an orange, white, and green plaid shirt and some black skinny jeans. This would look great with my black closed-toed heels and my leather jacket. I quickly got changed and fixed my hair. No makeup for me because, well, I hate makeup. Anyways, after looking at myself in the mirror for the billionth time, I grabbed my phone and car keys and ran downstairs.
"Ooh! Where are you going little sis?" Dallas asked from the living room where she was seated on the couch with Madison watching TV
"Out." I replied as I walked towards the door.
"Demi's got a date! Demi's got a date!" I heard Madison chant as I walked out the door.
I rolled my eyes at my sisters before heading to my car. Selena only lives a few blocks away but we would need to get to the restaurant somehow. I got in my car and started it as soon as I put my seatbelt on. I slowly made my way over to Selena's house. Again, I only live a few blocks away from her. I am in no rush. After parking my car, I got out and walked up to the front door. Okay. This is it. All I have to do is ring the doorbell. Seems easy. So why am I not moving? Oh! There we go. I rang the doorbell. Good. So far so great. Hmm. That also sounds like it could be a good song title. I'll work on those later on when I get home. I just hope they come out good because I wouldn't-
"Can I help you?" I guess I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't hear the front door open. I gotta work on that as well.
I cleared my throat. "Uhm, yeah. I'm here to pick up Selena."
"Oh! You must be Demi. She smiled. "I'm Selena's mom. Come on in. Selena will be down in a minute.
I smiled before walking inside. "Thanks."
~ Selena's P.O.V. ~
"Selena! Demi's here!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs.
I glanced at the clock and noticed the time. Crap1 I quickly finished my makeup and grabbed my purse. I checked myself once more in the mirror to make sure I looked alright. Oh I looked cute. I was wearing a black dress with gold around the neck and some heels. Making my way downstairs, I noticed Demi sitting on the couch in my living room. Wow! I must say, she looks so hot in that outfit. As I reached the bottom of the stairs, Demi stood up and walked over to me.
"You look beautiful." Demi said quietly as she reached me.
I couldn't help but blush before I smiled. So do you."
Demi smiled. " So you ready to go?"
"Yeah. Let's go." I replied before waving to my mom.
"Don't be late hunny." My mom said as I rolled my eyes.
"I won't mom." Demi took my hand before leading us outside and to her car. She opened the passenger door for me, letting me get in as I smiled at me. She smiled back at me before closing the door and rounding to the other side and getting in herself.
"I have to say, you're going off on a pretty good start." I said jokingly.
"Oh am I?" Demi asked with a small smile.
"Yes you are." I replied with a smile of my own.
"Well that's good then. By the end of tonight, you'll be dying to go our with me again."
I rolled my eyes playfully. "Mhmm. We'll just see about that." I said as she chuckled. "Where are we going anyway?"
"It's this new Italian restaurant called Fantasia. It means fancy in Italian and the food there is supposed to be really good." Demi replied as she kept her eyes on the road.
"Well let's just hope so." I replied before gazing out the window.
~ When they arrive at the restaurant ~
"Reservation for Torres." Demi said to the hostess as they got inside the restaurant.
"Follow me." The hostess led them over to a table. "Your waiter will be with you shortly." She smiled politely before walking off.
Demi looked over at Selena and smiled. "So what do you think of the place so far?"
"It's really nice. I like it but it seems expensive. Are you sure you can afford this? I mean we can go somewhere else. I really don't mind." Selena suggested. She didn't want Demi to spend too much on her.
"Nah it's fine. You let me worry about that." Demi smiled gently at her.
Selena smiled back at her before picking up the menu to look through it.
"Hello. My name is Tim and I will be your waiter for this evening." The waiter said as he walked up to them. He then looked up from his notepad and noticed Demi. "Hey, Demi! I haven't seen you in awhile."
Demi looked up and smiled at him. "Oh hey Tim. I didn't know you worked here."
"Yeah I just started here a few days ago when they first opened this place up." Tim replied smiling. "Anyways, what would you guys like?" They told Tim what they wanted as he wrote it down on his notepad. "Alright. Your food will be ready in a little bit." He smiled and started to walk off before stopping and looking back. "Hey Demi," he called back. "Nice date. She's prettier than the rest of them." Tim winked before finally walking away.
"Do you bring all your dates here?" Selena asked, looking a bit hurt.
"N-no. It's just, I used to work here." Demi said quickly.
"And?" Selena asked getting a bit mad. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"W-well, a lot of girls w-would constantly visit me here and flirt with me and Tim would always tease me for it. That's why he said that." Demi answered, hoping that Selena would believe her.
"Oh...okay. I guess that makes sense." Selena sighed. "I'm sorry for freaking out."
"I-it's okay." Demi stuttered, quickly looking back down at the table. She was a bit relieved that Selena believed her.
After a little while, their food arrived. Selena took a bite of her food and hummed in response. "Mmm, this food is so good."
Demi took a bite of her food as well. "You're right. This is good."
Selena looked at her puzzled. "I thought you used to work here? Shouldn't you have already known that?"
Demi froze before slowly calming down. "Oh uhm, th-that's because I uhm, n-never tried the food. I only worked here."
"Well that's silly. I wouldn't be able to work at a restaurant and never once try the food." Selena said, going back to eating her food.
"Yeah, well..." Demi chuckled nervously before going back to eating her food as well.
As Selena was eating, she couldn't help but overhear a middle-aged couple talking at the table behind her.
"I just love this new restaurant Marty. Don't you?" The woman asked her husband.
"Why yes I do Margaret. I'm glad they finally opened this place up just last week." The man replied to his wife.
Selena suddenly stopped eating, thinking about the conversations she's had with Demi that night about the restaurant.
"Are you okay?" Demi asked thoughtfully, noticing that she had stopped eating.
Selena looked over at her and shook her head. "You lied to me." She whispered more to herself than to Demi.
"W-what are y-you talking about?" Demi gulped nervously.
"You told me that you used to work here but this restaurant just opened last week. You also said you used to work with Tim here but you didn't even know he worked here. And I bet that's not all you lied to me about." Selena said, more hurt than she ever has been in her life.
"I forgot?" Demi tried nervously.
Selena scoffed and shook her head. "You are unbelievable. Stop lying to me Demi! I already caught you in your big fat lie so you might as well stop."
Demi looked down. "I-I'm sorry Selena."
Selena only shook her head. "Whatever. I'm out of here. Don't bother calling me because I won't pick up." With that she got up from her seat and walked out of the restaurant, leaving Demi to sit there and sulk by herself.
Like it? hate it? Tell me why in a review! I'm about to post chapter 4 of Hidden Love in a few if you'd like to read that as well. :)
