Devina was feeling a little bit sick, staying in the room for five days, was never her intention. And today, she went to have a bath, dressed up nicely, and put the previous things behind her.
At least she thought she did.
-Morning, love!- Ruby was smiling, and happy to see Devina all dressed up, and looking gorgeous, as she looked horrible the last week.
-Hey, you ok?
-Yes, we will have our breakfast outside.
-Aha, i will be there.
-I can see that, feeling better?- Devina didn't even answer, when Cassey burst in.
-He proposed!- she was happy, the happiest Ruby and Devina had seen her in a long time.
-Nathan?- Cassey nodded,- im gonna kill him!
Ruby went out of the room and Cassey ran after her.
-Mom, no! I agreed to do this! Mom, this is my fault!
After a few minutes the voices were gone, and Devina looked one more time in the mirror, before going downstairs.
The doors to the gardens was opened, and Devina walked towards the round table. Everyone was seated, and the only chair free to sit was next to Demos.
She swollowed. Dang.
Devina sat down, and everyone greeted her. Except for him. And she didn't even greet him back or look at him.
It was Demos fault after all, and Devina wasn't ready to forgive him, not now, not ever.
Ruby was throwing daggers with her eyes towards Nathan, who held Casseys hand and caressed it every five seconds.
Even though they were just five people at the table and everyone was talking, Devinas thoughts were far away.
-What about another ball, things have changed now,- Nathan explained, and Devina returned to Earth, hearing about the ball.
-We could make your relationship official, if you'd like,- Demos agreed.
-Im still not ok with this, just so you know.
-Mom, i will be fine,- Cassey smiled and tried to calm her mom down a bit.
-It means everyone will have to be there,- Demos stated, and Devina felt his gaze on her.
-What if i don't want to,- she finally spoke, still not looking at Demos.
-I said everyone.
-I don't care what you said,- Demos looked at her and Devina finally looked at him.
-What did you just say?- Demos asked her.
-What you heard.
-Would you like to have another round?- Demos asked, and Devina understood what was he talking about.
-I would love to have another round only in different circumstances.
-What type of circumstances?
-You don't wanna know.
-Uhm, i guess, Devina, we should have a walk,- Ruby sort of saved her, and Devina immediatly stood up and followed, but Demos grabbed her hand.
-This is not over,- was all he said.
-What were you thinking?!- Ruby almost shouted.
-What? He does not deserve a normal answer!
-Oh, c'mon, don't be like this, if you don't want to get in trouble again.
-To be honest, i don't care, but if i do, i won't be the one crying this time.
Devina walked off, and she found herself heading for the water fall. She sat on one of the big stones next to it.
She didn't want any company, but she heard someone approaching her. She assumed it was Ruby.
-I already said i don't want to talk about it.
-Im not here to talk,- she saw Demos instead.
-What do you want?
-It seems...- he paused,- it feels like you need another round of spanking.
-And it seems like it has been a long time since someone hit you properly.
Devina didn't know where she got the courage to say that. She always was the type of girl who shuts her mouth, but now she just couldn't.
Demos bit his lower lip, and tried to stay calm, and not to throw this girl over his knee again.
-Why do you make this so difficult for me?
Devina stood up and came closer.
-You want easy? I give you easy!- and with that she slapped Demos across his cheek again. When he turned his head back, not saying a word, Devina wanted to slap him again.
And when she tried, Demos caught her wrist.
-No, no, no,- he talked slowly, almost with a sinister grin on his face,- little girl.
Devina was forced to look into his eyes, it felt like she didn't have a choice to look away, not even for a second.
Demos grabbed her other wrist as well, and put them together, holding them with one of his hands, behind her back.
-Now that you are calm, i will show you something.
