15 Days (Bamon)

Day 9

Well this is awkward.. I forgot to write about our dinner, I was so caught up that it slipped my mind and since nothing all that exciting happened today I'll write some more about yesterday.

So Damon takes me to this fancy place and to be honest I'm tried of getting all dressed up to go to dinner. What's so wrong with a drive thru? Anyway, we get seated and I could tell that Damon knew that I knew that something was up. I think somehow he figured out that I had a peep in on his conversation because he wasn't his normal confidant self. He frequently changed the subject, blabbed about practically nothing before he just grew quiet.

"Are you okay?" I decided to ask.

"Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind s'all."

"Anything that I could help with?"

He smiled. "That's sweet of you, but no."

We stared at each other before he decided to look away.

"How about we take this food to go?" Before he had a chance to protest or to say anything I flagged down the waiter and asked for the check. I pay for the meal, hell it was expensive, but I know how to save.

"Bonnie, please let me pay you back."

"For the hundredth time, Damon, no. You bought me a dress so the least I could do is pay for dinner."

He smiled like he was proud of me or something and kissed me.

I stripped down to my underwear once were at his place and slide on one of his shirts. He opened his arms out to me and I crawled between them.

"Good night, love."

"Good night."

Although I say 'good night' I didn't plan on sleeping anytime soon. Once I heard Damon's low snores, I got out of bed and started snooping. Now before you/I/who ever is reading this (lord I hope that it's not my future children) get all judgmental, I have my suspicions so it's okay. I'm a pro at this and it's not because I have snooped on every boyfriend I had, it's because when I was younger I used to snoop around all the time. The trick is to put everything back exactly how you found it as soon as you're done looking at/through it. If you wait until your investigation is over, you have no idea if the magazines were upside down or right side up. I had no idea what I was looking for but I knew he was hiding something—anything! I was tempted to check his computer but if he so happened to wake up that would've been a hard excuse to come up with and I was sure that it was password protected—who's isn't? Anyway a search later I come up empty and I started to feel really bad. I couldn't believe that I just invaded his privacy like that, I know that I wouldn't have appreciated it if he did that to me. Slightly depressed, I got back into bed.

This morning when I woke up, Damon wasn't there. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. I guess that's what I get for snooping too late. But in place of Damon there's a note:

Good morning sleepyhead,

I had I go into the office for a few hours but when I get back we can go to the airport for our flight. Your car is in the garage, just press the grey button to open it and don't worry about closing it because it does it automatically after a few minutes. I have to swing back here after work for my bags so I should be at your place around one.

See you soon,

Damon

I only had little less than an hour to get ready for a trip across state and I don't even know how long we were going to be staying there. Quickly, I rushed to my car and got home as quickly as I could. I literally took all my clothes in my closet and just dumped it all in my suitcase. Not all of it really fit so when I realized that I had some time to spare I took out a few things. And since I've always seemed to forget something anytime I travel, I prepared a pre-made packing list and run through every time I take a trip to make sure that I have everything that I need. By the time I was finished, I heard the door bell sound and I went to answer it. To my surprise it was my bestie Caroline.

"Hey, we missed you last night."

"Last night?"

"Yeah, remember..." I thought back but I came up with nothing. "Ugh, the sleepover? Remember the one that you promised to go to?"

"Shit, I'm such an ass."

"No kidding. That's okay though because you can make it up today." Caroline smiled.

"Ugh, actually I can't. I'm going to California."

"What?"

"I told Damon about my mom and he said that he had to take a business trip there so he asked me to tag along."

"Why am I just hearing about this now?"

"Because I'm a horrible friend?"

"Its fine." Caroline said instead of denying my confession. "When are you leaving and for how long?"

"Today and I don't know."

Before Caroline got a word out, the doorbell rung.

"Hey," Damon kissed me, "ready to go?"

"Yeah let me just grab my bag."

"Hello, Caroline." I heard Damon say.

By the time I did one last look over and head back to the living room, Damon and Caroline were laughing at something.

"What's so funny?"

Their heads popped up like I just caught them doing something inappropriate.

"Nothing." Caroline says with a smile.

I looked at them suspiciously and just when I was gonna push on, Damon stood up and grabbed my bags.

"I'll see you later, Care."

"Bye, Bon"

Sadly, our flight was delayed by an hour but that only led to us making out in the corner of the airport. Don't worry the place was like a graveyard so no one really saw. At least I don't think.

I'll skip the flight but the thing I will say that it was really cool departing in the evening then arriving in California when the sun was still shingling so bright. The time difference was hard to adjust at first, but I got good at it eventually.

Our hotel is amazing. One bed—king sized, one bathroom, double sink and glass shower, two TVs -one in the bedroom and the other in the living room. I called for the closet so Damon took the drawers.

For the rest of the day we just relaxed and watched a movie while eating something from room service. It was nice. Damon and I never really just relaxed, we were always on the move and even though it was just for a few hours I really enjoyed it.

However you sign a journal,
