The Way You Don't Look At Me

Chapter 7 - Big Spoon

I woke up the next day feeling pretty anxious. Demi was coming over tonight along with everyone else. I still had to get the food, and drinks and set up for the party.

As the hours go by, I drove to get the drinks and I made sure to set up that the food would get here by 7, which is when every one was supposed to be here. Demi would show up late, which is okay because it gives me time to pregame to gain some confidence.

I set up my lights, and all the speakers. I realized I only had an hour left, so I quickly showered and shaved and put on a black long sleeve tight crop top, and a a white skirt. I put my hair in a cute but messy bun, and did red eyeshadow look with black lipstick. I grabbed a pair of simple black heels and looked in the mirror. Very closely examining my body, turning to different positions to see how I look, I took a deep breath and nodded to myself.

"You look good today. You're okay." I told myself. Sometimes saying it out loud made me believe it. Right as I took another deep breath, I heard the knocking on my door. I quickly pressed play on my music and walked to the door. There I see Julie, Cindy, and a few friends that I met on set. As time went by, the food was delivered and I had taken about three shots so far. More people showed up, and I was all over the place talking to people, and dancing.

I checked the time. 8:36. Demi should've been here by now. I don't think she's coming. I sighed to myself and put my phone away. Going to my counter I took another shot and sat on my island counter top. A minute goes by, and I heard a knock on the door. I got off of the counter and went to the door. It was demi.

She was wearing a tight black dress that hugged her in all of the right places. She had on dark red lipstick, hoop earrings, and a gold necklace on.

I stood there for a second taking the view in. "Wow.. hi" I said. "You don't look bad yourself." She said and winked. I felt myself blush. We had been standing there for a minute, mostly because I'm currently losing my concept of time, and she just looked so beautiful.

"So are you going to let me in or is there a secret password?" Demi asked amused.

"Oh shit yeah sorry." I opened the door wider for her to let her in. I closed the door behind her, still not being able to take my eyes off of her.

"Your place is amazing." She said turning to me. "Thank you" I said nervously. We were both standing right outside of my door, almost awkwardly.

"Um, can I get you anything to drink? To eat? To sit?" I asked her. Demi chuckled. "A water is fine, and i ate before I came here." I nodded my head and grabbed a water out of the fridge. I went to hand it to her, and then pulled the water away. She looked at me confused but then raised her eyebrows when she saw me unscrewing the cap for her. "Here" I told her. "Wow you are.. scary polite" she said.

"I'm sorry." I told her. Did she not like that stuff? Demi shook her head and put her hand on my shoulder. "Don't be, it's charming."

I smiled at her and then led her to some of my friends. They all turned to me and Demi and cheered. "Hey guys this is Demi, Demi this is Julie who you met yesterday. And this is Cindy, Mark, derek, Alison, Miranda, And James." I told her gesturing to each of my friends. "Hi." Demi said politely. They all say hi to her and I saw they were all starting to make small talk, so I took this time to slip away to take another shot. Okay maybe one more. When I looked over I saw Demi sitting on one of the stools watching me, while also trying to maintain and conversation with my friends.

I grabbed myself a water, and walked by my friends. "So.. who wants to dance?" I asked giving a suggestive look to the group. They all cheered, except Demi who was still examining me. All of my friends dragged me to my living room where others were already dancing
