Why would Demi think so long of an answer? Is she ashamed of me or something? Did I do something wrong?

'She is Demi's friend, Janice', Jackie eventually said.

Ouch that hurts. 'Her friend', that didnt describe at all who I was to her.

'Nice to meet you Ashley', Janice said.

I smiled at her and made introduced myself to the rest of the family.

'You want a piece of cake dear?', Janice asked. I nodded so me and Janice walked to the kitchen.

When I sat down on an empty chair next to Demi, we said nothing. I just ate my cake and listened to the conversations in the room. I could feel Demi's eyes looking at me but I didnt want to look at her. She hurted me, she let Jackie said that and she did nothing about it.

2 Hours stroke by when Demi's other aunt spoke up. I suppose this was aunt Janette.

'Demi, how is it going with your lovelife? Still single?', Janette asked.

I looked at Demi and I noticed she was blushing a little bit. I kept a note to myself that if she said she was single, I would leave right now. I thought our relationship meant more to her.

'No not single anymore. Im really happy with this relationship', Demi replied.

'So whats he like?'

Why does it always have to be a guy. But now it makes sense, her family doesnt know she is gay. Why didnt she say anything? And why didnt she tell them?

'She is amazing. Beyond perfect. I couldnt ask for more.', Demi said and before I knew she planted her lips on mine to give me a kiss.

Nobody said anything. Demi pulled back and looked at them. Her family looked shocked except her parents.

Janice cleared her throat and said 'So not just a friend then?'

Demi smiled, ' No she is way more than that. She is my girlfriend actually'

'Good job Demi. Otherwise I would have hit on her. She is too pretty to be single', her cousin Nathan said. Nathan was that guy in the corner who was winking at me the entire time.

I felt awkward. Demi came out to her family but I didnt expect she would do it like this. The silence filled the room.

'Congratulations Demi', one of her uncles said. 'If that means you are happy, we are happy'

'Thank you that means a lot', Demi said while tearing up. Tears escaped from her eyes and fell down.

I hugged her and pulled her closer. 'Im so proud' was what I told her.

I looked up and everyone held their glass up. 'To Demi', her grandfather said and the rest cheered.

I was relieved they accepted Demi because I wouldnt know how awkward it would have been if they didnt.

'You have one of a new family member then, Jackie', Janette smiled.

'I know right. I think I liked her before Demi did'

Everyone laughed and I laughed too. It was hard to get Demi to like me or even love me but it worked. And it was worth it.

------------------------

Everyone left, which meant that Demi, her mother and dather and me were the ones who were still here.

'Im really proud of you Demi', I said again.

'We all are', her father smiled at me.

*Phone rings*

'Sorry I have to take this one. Be right back', I told them.

I looked at my phone and I saw it was my manager Shailene.

I picked up the phone and decided she would do the talking.

'Hi Ashley, how are you?'

'Good actually. You?'

'Cant complain. Look, I talked to your parents about this situation and they said it was up to you'

'If its up to me its obvious what I would do so why are you calling?'

'To make sure and Im calling because that isnt the only thing I had to tell you. If you chose for Demi, what seems most likely, you and her should do interviews or maybe little shoots together. Its not about the money but also about the image. The image of a young celebrity who can be free and who can be accepted as a lesbian.'

'I will talk about it with her.'

'Think about it. Not only the image but also the role model or example you could be for others. By the way you have an other shoot in 2 days.'

'Okay, Im glad you arent forcing me to date Kendall or an other model. You will see me then. Bye Shailene', I said and hung up. That phone call went better than I thought it would go.

My phone went back into my pocket and I walked back to the living room. Her parents watching TV while I sat next to Demi on the couch.

'What did she say?', Demi asked.

'I will tell you later', I said. 'Now isnt the good time', I whispered.

'We can go to your place, more privacy', she whispered in my ear.

'So I can tell you about the conversation?', I asked.

'That and other things', she whispered again.

I hold my breath for a couple seconds. I love it when she is acting naughty and sexy. It really turns me on.

'You still owe me a make out session from yesterday'

'I was thinking of something more or further than that', she whispered and kissed my earlobe.

'Is there something we arent allowed to know?', Demi's dad asked.

'No daddy. We are going to Ashley's', Demi said and stood up. She grabbed my hand and pulled me up from the couch.

'No funny business', her mom smirked and Demi just rolled her eyes.

'No mom, we just wanted to give you privacy because its your birthday', I nodded in agreement.

'Aw how sweet', Jackie commented.

We just rode with the car and were at my house.

'Ashley, what did she say?', Demi asked. Gosh, she is so curious. I cant keep anything from her.

'They decided its my own choice and my choice is obviously you', I told her and grabbed her hand and planted a gentle kiss on it.

'But we have to go to interview and stuff as a couple...'

'Thats not that hard right?', Demi tried to ask.

'No but if you dont want to I can'

She shut me up with kissing me. Without hesitation I kissed back and placed my hands on her well-shaped ass.

Demi didnt break the kiss when she pushed me on the couch. She putted me down and laid on top of me, still kissing me. I was still straddling her ass, loving how she would pull up for air sometimes. Her hands moved to the front, cupping my breasts. She was about to undo the buttons of my blouse when I pulled back and said 'No funny business' with a wink and smile.

Demi moved away and stood up. 'Jesus Ashley, it was about to get intense and you do that.'

She looked dissapointed.

'You can tell me if you dont want to go further but I thought we both thought that last night was amazing. More than amazing if thats possible'

'Im gonna make it more than amazing babe. I just had something else in mind'

'Really like what?', she didnt look dissapointed anymore but excited.

'Follow me to my room', I winked.

'Let me text my mom. I think Im staying over tonight', she winked back.

'Do you think I will let you go home after this? Not a chance', I said and crashed my lips on hers.
