Selena thought about the possibility of having a crush on Demi, the more the idea turned in her head the more unlikely it seemed.
I've only known her a week, I can't possibly like her. It's probably just relief I'm feeling, I mean she did just tell me about her crazy uncle so I'm probably relieved that she's okay as long as she's away from him.
She dismissed the thoughts swarming within her and turned to make sure Demi was following, when she didn't see her she went back outside to find Demi standing where she left her, looking down at her shoes.
"You can come in you know?" Demi looked up and smiled, stepping over the threshold and into Selena's house.
"You have a nice house." Demi complimented.
"Thanks," Selena turned away from the blonde and walked further into her house. "Mom! I'm home, and Demi's here!"
"I'm in here bug." Selena heard from the laundry room. She followed her moms voice, Demi close behind. "Back already? You were out only an hour, so that's one day. Oh, hi." Mandy waved at the blonde standing behind Selena, Demi waved back, confused about the one hour thing, having not heard their earlier conversation.
"Can she stay over tonight?" Selena scratched the back of her neck, worried her mom may not like Demi from the lasting impression she made.
"Of course she can, do you really think I'd deprive you of a social life?"
Selena laughed. "Thanks mom, one last thing." Mandy raised her eyebrow. "Can we order pizza?"
"Go for it." she shook her head, laughing at her daughter and her seemingly endless appetite.
An hour later the food arrived and the girls sat at the table, Demi and Selena socializing with Selena's mom.
"I know I said it before," Demi started, trying to vocalize her apologies. "but I'm really sorry about Monday, I don't know what's gotten into me. It really wasn't Selena's fault."
"Forget about it." the older of the three said. "Everyone has their rough days. I've already talked about it with Selena, so we're good."
Demi felt relieved, her first impressions seemed to be getting worse and worse. She'd have to be more careful.
"What I do want to know though," the older woman continued. "is what the whole fornication thing was about?"
"Mom!" Selena's face was bright red and Demi busted out laughing at her.
"That was just a misunderstanding." she said through her laughter. "Selena tried to beat me up because I was making her run."
"Oh yeah, Selena has a problem with any sort of physical activity." Selena's mom said in understanding.
"I was actually really surprised when I saw that she had ridden a bike." Demi shared making Selena's mom laugh.
"I'm right here you know?"
"I was surprised that you two made it in one piece." the two started laughing and eventually Selena caved, joining in on their laughter.

"I'm hungry." Selena voiced, already in bed and both girls changed, she was laying on her bed with her head hanging towards the floor and her feet in the air.
"Seriously?" Demi looked at her incredulously "We just ate."
"Yeah, so? That doesn't change the fact that my tummy is growling." she rolled off the bed landing on the her feet, Demi followed right behind her landing on the floor with a thud. "Try not to hurt yourself."
