The alarm that Demi had set woke me up again. I didn't mind at all because she was going to Australia for two weeks so I won't get to see her everyday. I stretch and open my eyes as Demi slides out of bed and heads to the bathroom. I get up, grab my phone, leave the room and head to the family bathroom. Once down, I make my way downstairs to the kitchen and make a fresh pot of coffee. As I'm waiting for the coffee, I pull out all the ingredients I need to make a quick and simple breakfast for Demi so she can have something to eat before she has to leave.

I place everything I need out on one of the counter tops but as I was about to pull out a pan, I hear some noises coming from the living room. I quickly make my way over and to find Barry and Luna are scratching at the patio door so I cross the room and open the door for them. I re-enter the kitchen moments later and pick up where I left off, grabbing the utensals I needed.

When I get about halfway through making her breakfast, Demi enters the kitchen. "You should still be asleep." She says as she walks up behind me, wrapping her arms around my waist and resting her chin on my shoulder. I chuckle, "I know but I wanted to make sure you ate before you left. Also, this will be the only time I get to see you before you leave." I reply. I finish making her food and plate everything up before handing it to her with a knife and fork. As she sits at the table, I make her a cup of coffee just how she likes it and place it down infront of her; receiving and smile in return.

Once she finishes, I collect all the dirty dishes and wash them up as she goes back upstairs to get ready. I leave the now clean dishes on the draining rack and head upstairs myself with the dogs following close behind. I enter the bedroom and see Demi all dressed and ready, sitting on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands. I gently sit down next to her, "Talk to me, what's going on?" I softly ask. She takes a deep breathe and looks at me, "I don't know. I mean, are you sure it's okay to leave the dogs here with you." she asks. I look her in the eye and say, "Yes Dems, of course it is. I wouldn't have offered if it wasn't. Now, have you got everything ready to go." she nods in response. We sit and talk for a while as she says goodbye to Barry and Luna before I help her take her bags and suitcase downstairs and put them down next to the front door.

It was now time for Demi to leave and I would be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss her because I was, greatly. But she needed to visit her parents and get away from Orlando for a while. I helped her pack her luggage in the trunk of her car before offering to drive her but she declined. She was about to jump in the drives seat when I stopped her, "Demi, wait a sec." I called and she turned around to look at me. I didn't say anything, I just walked up to her and pulled her into one of the most passionate kisses we have ever shared.

She wrapped her arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around her neck. The kiss sent sparks through my whole body. The kiss made butterflies swarm in my stomach. The kiss made my heart flutter and skip a beat. But the most important thing was that the kiss, just felt right. Being wrapped in her arms, just felt right. Laying next to her every night, just felt right. And now, she was leaving the country for two whole weeks and I for one was sure going to miss that.

We pulled apart for air but stayed close, leaning our foreheads together as we are still trying to catch our breath; gazing into each others eyes. "I'm gunna miss you so much." I whisper, "I'm gunna miss you too P." she whispers back as she holds me closer. "And we are definitely gunna talk about that kiss when I get back." She adds while chuckling and I join in, nodding in agreement. 

Demi places one last loving kiss on my lips before we separate and she jumps in her car, starting it and pulling out of my driveway. She gave me one last look and a small wave before she drove off and I returned it until I couldn't she her anymore. I walked back into the house and shut the door quietly behind me before heading back into the kitchen.
