15 Days (Bamon)

Day 8

Today was my dad's 50th birthday. I decided to not bring Damon with me just because we haven't been together for that long and plus my family is a little crazy and they could undoubtfilly scare him away. I had a fun time with Caroline though, we ate cake, sang the birthday song (badly might I add) and opened presents. Caroline and I brought him a new Bible (he's a religious man), a jewel incrusted back scratcher (mainly for laughs, but I have a feeling that he will actually use it), and new golf clubs (he's been talking about them for months and he doesn't even play, but we got it since we're the best).

Damon called me about an hour into the party just to check up. I told him everything was going good and he informed me that he was called into the office a few minutes after I left so it was a good thing that he wasn't expected to show up.

"I love you, I'll talk to you soon."

"Alright," It stung to not say it back, but I wasn't going to say anything that I didn't mean. I'm close to loving him but not yet. "I really, really like you." Damon laughed at me, "bye."

"Bye" Damon said with a giggle.

"Bonnie who you talking to making you smile like that?" My aunt Veronica sneaks up on me.

"Uh, my boyfriend"

"Boyfriend! I didn't know you had a boyfriend!" I smiled hoping that she would keep her voice down. "Tony! Tony, did you know Baby B has a boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend? Girl you are too young to have a boyfriend." My uncle Tony told me.

"I'm twenty-one and Auntie I would appreciate it if you don't call me 'Baby B'."

"Oh hush up girl, you're the baby of the family, you should be happy about that."

I discreetly rolled my eyes (something that I've mastered over the years) and made eye contact with Caroline so she could get me out of this situation.

"Bonnie I need your help with something."

"Caroline, did you know Bonnie had a boyfriend?" Tony questioned her.

"I did."

"Then how come you didn't tell anybody?"

"I don't know, I figured that Bonnie would tell everyone when she's ready."

Let's just say by the end of the party everyone knew about Damon. My father wanted to meet him but I convinced him to postpone until we've been together for at least two months.

After the party, I dropped Caroline off and headed straight to Damon's.

"Well don't you look sexy in your party dress." Damon greeted me when he walked in.

I was standing in the kitchen pouring me something to drink when Damon wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck.

"How was work?" I asked turning around to look at him.

He kissed me and sat me on the counter so we're eye level. "It was good, I go to court tomorrow."

"Anything serious?"

"No, not really, just a custody case."

"Ah, been there, done that."

"Your parents split?"

"Yeah, when I was ten. I couldn't choose so the judge told me to move in with my mother which was understandable you know, but then my mom got to drinking and had a string of horrible boyfriends so one day I called my dad and asked if I could move in with him. A few years later he remarried and I lost contact with my mom."

"Why?"

"She moved to California with her boyfriend and I haven't heard from her since. I tried calling but she switched phones."
