Beating Heart (Delena Fantasy/Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Her mind was blank

Selena's POV:

2nd April

I hadn't heard anything of my shadows for a few weeks. That's the longest time since they made me kill my parents. I was scared something terrible was going to happen, but there was nothing bad that could possibly happen now. We were heading off to Spain. According to the time, we were about to arrive in de middle of the night. If there is anyone who is sensitive for jetlags than it's me.
We stepped into the plane and sat down next to each other. Demi was highly excited about flying and smiled the whole time. The bundle of joy kept looking around and kissing my cheek and it made me laugh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to inform you that we will have some weather difficulties during the flight. We will make a small stop if it storms too much. Have a nice flight!" The pilot said through the speakers. Great. The plane lifted up and indeed, after a few hours it started to storm outside. I looked at the dark clouds we were passing. I was able to see some small lightning strikes from afar. It made me nervous. Demi watched the fascinating bombs of light with me. I grabbed her arm and rested my head on her shoulder while my eyes were still pointed at the round window. A big one stroke near us and I hold on tighter in a reflex while my heart skipped a beat.

"Scared of thunder?" Demi softly asked. I nodded and dug my nose in her neck. I heard a smirk coming from her. Yeah, go on. Be amused, I thought sarcastically.

"You're scared of my motorcycle so shut up." I smiled. She laughed harder now and nodded to confess my statement.

I let myself fall on the double bed inside our hotel. It was beautiful in the room. Demi opened the curtains.

"Look at this..." She said. I got up to see the view. We could see the beautiful beach with some mountains behind it. The night was dark. one lighthouse emitted light and spread it around the beach. Demi closed the curtains again and claimed a side of the bed.

"This side is mine. It has the remote control holder." She said fast. I laughed and lied down on the other side.

"Let's pack out tomorrow." I said while twisting my hair. Demi got up, walked to her suitcase to grab her pajamas and walked over to the bathroom. It was the cutest thing ever because I knew she wouldn't mind to dress down in front of me. She just gave me privacy to dress down myself. She walked back into the room after we both prepared to sleep. She lied down next to me. I looked at her, at her face and her beautiful new hair.

"Will you be my little spoon?" I said with a childish voice. She grinned and turned her back to me. I snuggled up to her from behind and she rested her head on my arm.

"I think my shadows are making contact with other shadows, you know?" I said with my eyes closed.

"Are they able to do that?" She asked. I shrug my shoulders.

"They haven't spoken in weeks. I'm afraid something's wrong."

"Maybe this vacation is good for them. They could be tired just like you."

"They were the ones who made me tired." I said. She smirked. I replaced my arm under hers. She turned her head to see my face.

"Don't worry." She said.

"I'm still standing with both feet on this earth because of my worries." I replied. I kissed her cheek. She stared into nothing, thinking. She then turned around and kissed me. Her head was still on my arm and it stayed that way. We lied while kissing, and it felt very relaxing. She danced with her tongue against mine while her hand moved over my hip. I placed my hand on her cheek, with her ear between my fore and middle finger. We pulled away, but our foreheads stayed attached together. I saw her beautiful eyes looking at me. She had no make-up on. Her fresh face was beautiful. Her nose and cheeks were covered with freckles. I smiled when I noticed them. It was so cute, it highly amused me. She kissed my forehead and turned back around, allowing me to snuggle up to her again. We fell asleep that way.
