Iris' pov
"What's wrong?" He asks as I nuzzle into his shoulder. "He had to leave early. It feels like abandonment." I say trying to kick off the blanket. I finally kick it off and I wrap my arms around Damon.
"I know how you feel. My dads in the Air Force. Sometimes he wouldn't even say goodbye." Damon said. I started to cry. "I've n-never r-really cried in front of s-someone." I said which was a lie but to an extent. I've only cried in front of my parents and grandparents occasionally. And now Damon. To be honest it's uncomfortable crying in front of him. My family is stuck with me but Damon kinda chose to be with me.
My thoughts consume me to the point I barely hear Damon say, "I never cry in front of girls." I smile up at him. "Liar face. I bet you've cried in front of your ex." He laughed. "That chick. Nah. She was lucky to have even met this." He said motioning to his body. "Well haven't you cried in front of your mom?" I say still laughing. "But that's my mom everyone cries in front of there mom. If you say you haven't you're a liar." He says with a laugh.
I just shake my head. "Damon you're something." I say. We lie in my bed for a while longer until my stomach growls. "I'm hungry. What about you?" I ask him. "It's cuz you spit out my vegan cake." He said seriously. I smile and get out of my bed. He follows me out to the street. I had grabbed my penny board from the garage and heard Damon sigh.
"Go get yours." I say sitting on the curb. He smiles and runs into his house. He returned in less than 5 minutes with his board and a camera. He's already started vlogging then I started to sing Stitches by Shawn Mendes. "Damn you're good." Damon said pointing the camera at me. "No stop." I complain. He laughs and turns off the camera. I start going down the street and Damon follows me. We reach the best restaurant ever. Pizza Hut.
"We could've just ordered over the phone." Damon whined. "No. Do you have money?" I asked knowing he didn't bring any and neither did I. "No. Crap. I'll go back. I don't want you to pay." He said starting to walk out the door when I grabbed his arm. "It's fine. The guy right there always gives me two free pizzas because my dad is in the army." I whisper not wanting his boss to know. It's our little secret. He sees me and Damon and smiles. "Pepperoni?" He asks. Damon makes a face. "One vegan cheese please. Yeah and a pepperoni." I laugh at Damon.
He sneaks us the pizza and we penny board to the park. Well Damon follows me. I stop at the liquor market on the corner of the park. I run in and my best friend Alex is working the cash register. "I need two peace teas." I say. She shrugs and I 'pay' for them. I walk out and find Damon sitting under a tree staring up into the sky. I smile and snap a picture with my phone. I jog over to him and hand him the peace tea smiling.
"Let's eat shall we?" I ask as he laughs. "We shall." He said handing me the box with the pepperoni. We open the boxes and smile. I eat two pieces and Damon has two as well. "We're never getting two whole pizzas again." Damon laughs. "Ugh I'm gonna have pizza for like a week." I say as I stand up. I already finished my tea so I threw it away. Damon still has his though. "Let's go home." I say grabbing my penny board and helping Damon up.
"Sure." He says picking up his drink and the boxes. I take the boxes and start my way back home with Damon following. I get home and take my stuff to my house. "I'll go over in a minute." I tell Damon. I walk to my room and put my board down. I put the pizza in a ziplock and into the fridge. "Iris is that you?" My mom called from the living room. "Yeah. I got pizza. I'm going to my friends I'll be back later." I said.
I ran to Damon's because I didn't want to walk but I told him I'd go over. I knock on the door and then walk in. Damon isn't in the kitchen or living room. I figure he's in his room. I lay on the couch and start flipping through the tv channels. Damon walks out from his room and smiles at me. "It's so dark. Wanna go with me to explore?" He asked plopping down on the couch. "Do you even know where things are around here?" I ask him. He laughs. "I know how to get to where I wanna go. Hurry up and say yes so we can get there before it closes." He whined.
I laughed and stood up turning off the tv. He quickly pecked my lips. "Let's go!" He said running to his door. "I call dibs on putting music on." I say. He laughs and locks the door. He runs over to his car and opens my door. "Fancy." I say sitting. He shakes his head and runs around to the drivers side. He gets in and starts up the car.
"Where are we going to?" I ask putting his pandora on. "To a place." He says. "Well no shit, Sherlock." I say clicking Fall Out Boy radio station. He laughs as we turn the corner. I hum along to Thanks For The Memories as he turns on the freeway. He drives along for a while. Just as A Trophy Fathers Trophy Son starts up we pull off the freeway. Now we are there... Disneyland...
