Chapter 9: memories and diaries, and blush. Oh my!

Chapter:9
It was magical. He is unreal, like nothing I could have ever imagined. I'm afraid that at any moment I will wake up and this will all have been just some fantastic dream. We spent the night staring at the stars as I curled into his side, and he rubbed soothing circles into my back. We talked about everything, and yet nothing at all. Words of nonsense yet also meaningful conversations that contemplated the very meaning of life itself. He told me about all the places he has been to. He showed me the stars and there meaning in constellations. Spoke of story's and urban legends that he learned from different cultures. We spoke so effortlessly, as if we'd known each other since childhood, shared all our secrets and became one person. An inseparable duo destine in the stars.

I find my fear of this monster dissipating as a drastic rate. I rather find myself feeling more safe with him then with any other. I couldn't explain it, not in words at least. This man confuses me, yet I've never been able to see so clearly what is in front of me. I feel lost, yet when I'm with him, I know I am exactly where I am meant to be. Forever and always.

I close my journal and place it under my mattress and lay back letting out a sigh as I stair at the ceiling. Let's just I have I bit of a crush. Oh, who am I kidding I'm head over heals for that boy!

"Eekkkk!" I let out a girly squeal. Rolling over and burying my head in my pillow.

It's Sunday night now, we ended up sleeping under the stars. The next morning he took me home where I showered and changed, he came back and we went out for breakfast. Once I got home Cassy and I went shopping and got ice cream, she spent the night and we had a movie night. I'm really starting to like it here, I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. Me and Devon went the park and then to dinner, he seems off. I mean we talked and laughed like usual, but he had this distant look in his eye. I'm worried, I really don't want to upset him, he means everything to me and I hate seeing him upset.
I let out a yawn then turn my light off and craw under the covers.

I'll have to talk to him tomorrow morning and see what's up. It's Monday so he'll be picking me up for school.
My eyes grow heavy and slowly drift shut.

***Monday morning***

"Uurrgg" I groan as I slam my hand down on my alarm and stretch out my back. I slowly make my way to the bathroom. Once I shower and brush my teeth I head into my room and get dressed. I wear a navy blue dress with white stars all over it, black high heel platform boots, a silver choker and silver crescent moon necklace. I also grab my circle sunglasses and burnt orange colored sweeter in case I get cold. I decide to straiten my hair and grab my black hat. I take one last look in the mirror and smile to myself as the stars on my dress remind me of our date.

I throw on some lip gloss, grab my phone and head down stairs to find my little sister at the table eating what looks like cinnamon toast crunch.
" where's mom and dad?" I ask her. She just shrugs and continues eating. They must be getting ready to go to work and take Kendra to school, she's 9 so the elementary that she goes to starts an hour after my school does. Lucky her.

I go to the fridge and grab some strawberries, and grapes, and then turn to get down a bowl and fork. I clean the fruit and cut up the strawberries and throw them in the bowl with the grapes, I grab some milk and head to the table with my sister to eat. I wonder why Devon isn't hear yet? I check the time on my phone and almost choke as I see what time it is. I quickly drink the rest of my milk, put the rest of my fruit in the refrigerator and grab a banana and an Arizona green tea. I say a quick goodbye to Kendra kissing her on the head, grab my book bag and make my way to school. Looks like I'm walking.

***at school***

I pant as I make it through the school entryway, holding my hat in place so it doesn't fall off. This was not the day to where heals, I had to basically sprint the whole way here just to make it on time. I have about 5 minutes to get to my locker and to class. Still breathing heavily I make my way through the hall towards the direction of my locker.

I bump in to something. A.....warm.....locker ? Wait....
I turn around to be met with a chest and not a stomach. Yay, I should wear heals more often. I strain my neck looking up and a smile lights up my face once I meet his eyes. Damon.
"Hey" I say still slightly out of breath, as I stare into his icy orbs.
" why are you so out of breath sweetheart, what's wrong?" He looked down at me with his brows netted together in concern.
" I uh..(breath)ran all the way..(breath)here because Devon never..(breath)showed up." I say finally able to catch my breath. He pulled me against him and his arms coil around me, and I let out a content sigh and my arms too wrap around his waist.
" He should have told you or something darling. He can't just leave you like that. It's not right." He grits out angrily. I shiver as his voice lowers an octave.
" Maybe something came up..." I start, but Damon cuts in.
" and he doesn't even text or call you to let you know that he was leaving you to walk?" He said he's starting to seem upset.
" maybe he forgot..." I said.
" Well we're not gonna let that happen again, I'm picking you up from now on." He states, his voice sounding final.
" O-okay." I replied not wanting him to have to worry. I wouldn't mind him picking me up, I really do love being around him. But what about Devon, I wonder if something bad happened, I hope he's okay.

Damon finally releases me and I take the final steps towards my lock and start putting my stuff away. I feel Damon come up behind and wrap his arms across my stomach from behind and resting his chin on my head as he slumps down to reach. I gently rub circles on one of his arms that are across my stomach as I grab my math book and note book for class. He lets go as I lock my locker and turn around to face him. He smiles down at me as he takes my elbow and walk me to class wrapping his arm around my waist.

The halls are almost empty now as class should be starting in a minute or two.
"I had fun this weekend" he whispered to me as I neared math. I smiled, trying to be brave I say
" I did too, we should do it again sometime." Oh goodness I basically just asked him out.
" I would love to little Bambi." He replies smiling brightly, I love that he's been smiling more often.
" Bambi?" I ask, he's never called me that before.
" Your eyes and small frame remind me of Bambi therefor that's my name for you." He chuckled down at me.
"Oh." I say blushing and look down at my feet. He simply laughs and lifts my chin up to meet him.
" don't look away my sweet Bambi I love when you blush." He kisses my forehead and turns to head to class as I stand the watching him disappear around the corner. I sigh and walk into the class room and take my seat just on time. I look around for Devon but he is nowhere to be found.
