Demi Lovato Imagines

Kenya

I can't believe it. I'm going to Kenya with my best friends Demi, Sirah and Matthew. We have all just left school and joined a programme that allows us to travel the world and work with animals that have been captured for extinction purposes. This is our first trip and since joining the programme last year, I knew that I wanted to visit Africa and who better to do that with than my best friends?!

In Kenya, we are going to be camping out under the stars during the night and working with the lions and elephants during the day! We have been given our information packs on the sanctuary, our roles and responsibilities and a schedule of when we can have our own time.

We're all currently sat on the plane and reading through our packs. There's Demi and me on one side of the plane and Matthew and Sirah on the other side of the aisle. "Are you guys excited?! Our first placement in the programme and we're all together!!' Sirah asks us all, clearly things have just settled in for her since she's super excited. We all excitedly nod at her with big smiles on our faces and agree with her in response.

As the plane comes into land, I feel a warm, soft hand grab mine. I looked in the direction of it to see Demi scared to death and grabbing my hand like her life depended on it. I go close to her ear and whisper "it's okay Dems, we're landing and we're safe okay? It's all okay" while rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb to calm her down. She relaxed a little bit in the seat and loosened her grip on my hand a little bit but stil keeping hold of it.

We arrive in the airport and collect our luggage and all of that boring airport stuff. I stick close to Demi as we walk around to find the taxi, a little afraid of the new surroundings. We get outside to find our taxi which we shortly found out was running late so we sat down on a bench with our cases at our feet. Demi's arm falls around my shoulders in comfort. I'm guessing she could still sense that I'm out of my depth in the new country.

Demi was used to travelling to new countries and even though planes still scared her a bit, she could make anywhere feel like home. I overhear everyone talking about the sleeping arrangements for the tent and Demi must have suggested I stay with her because of my uneasiness which the others were fine with. It ended up being:
- Me and Demi in bedroom 1
- Sirah in bedroom 2 by herself
- Matthew in bedroom 3 by himself since he wouldn't appreciate seeing Sirah get ready in the small space with him, every morning.

"Hey guys, fancy a game of never have I ever but with a small twist?" Demi announces in our tent, causing everyone to come out of their "bedrooms". "Well dude, you gonna tell us the twist so we can say if we wanna play it or not?" Matthew says with a lot of sass. Demi looks at him and pretends to be shocked and offended that he was so sassy towards her.

"Okay, so because this is normally a drinking game and we dont have any drink other than water, the twist is gonna be: if you haven't done something, you need to do it" Demi announces. Oh god, this won't end well, I already know it. Matthew and Sirah have agreed to play it so I might as well agree too... nobody likes a spoil sport right?

"Okay, I'll start" Matthew says "Never have I ever slept with a guy that wasn't good in bed." Typical Matthew. We all take a drink. I don't really know what would've happened if someone hadn't drank though since there aren't any "guys that aren't good in bed", in the middle of Kenya. Demi looks at me with a strange look on her face. She looked hurt but jealous at the same time so I grabbed her hand and held it in mine to cheer her up.

As the game progressed, we slowly but surely got to the bottom of our water bottles. I was 1 drink away from finishing my bottle and I was pretty confident it'd be gone within the next round. "Never have I ever made out with a girl" Sirah says while smirking at Demi. Everyone but me drinks, causing me to blush. "You haven't made out with a girl before?" They all ask me. I shake my head and look down in disappointment.

The next thing took me by surprise, I feel a soft hand under my chin, guiding it upwards to see who it belonged to. Demi. I give her a small, nervous smile which she returned then placed her hand on the side of my face and caressed my cheek with her thumb. I place my hand over hers and hold it there, enjoying her touch maybe a bit too much for her being my best friend. "Alright you two, enough falling in love and more making out please" we here Matthew say, making us all laugh.

I look back at Demi, looking at her beautiful brown eyes and then her soft lips and back up to her eyes. I see her bite her lip as she leans in to kiss me. I slowly lean in too and connect our lips in a soft kiss. She kisses me back gently and with love. None of it felt awkward, as a matter of fact, it felt like the best kiss I'd ever had. Our lips moving in sync, hands holding eachother in a tight embrace, scared to let go. As the kiss came to an end, we kept leaning back in for little pecks. I didn't want to stop kissing her now I had felt it.

AN// Okay so this is 2 ideas combined and I'm thinking of writing a part 2 of it but let me know what you guys think! Stay strong my little stars 💛
