Miss Lovato, my teacher

Chapter twenty two

"Daddy!" Sierra said, as she entered the living room and ran to him.

"Hi pumpkin. How are you?"

"I got new friends!" she said, excitingly.

"Really? Who are they?"

"Soph and Sam" she said.
I smiled at her. I didn't know she considered me her friend, too.

"I Sophia" Sophia said to him.
It was cute how she just talked to him. I was usually very shy around new people at her age, but she wasn't at all.

"So you're Sierra's new friend?" he asked her.
She nodded.

"And that Sam" Sierra said and pointed at me.
I smiled at her, again.

"Is she your friend, too?" he asked.

"Yeah, she take me and Soph to park and play with us. She Soph and me big sister" she said.

"Is she your big sister?" He asked.

"Yeah, she call me princess"

"That's cause you are a princess"

"She call Soph princess, too"

"That's cause she's also a princess"

"She no call mommy princess, but mommy princess, too"

"Yeah, mommy's a princess too, but you don't call mommies princesses, they just are"

"But Sam princess too and she no mommy, but no one call her princess"

"That's cause she's already a big girl"

They continued talking, but I followed Demi into the kitchen. We started making lunch.

"So, that's Sierra's dad" she said.

"I figured"

"Yeah, I thought so"

"What's his name?" I asked.

"Wilmer Valderrama"

"He still loves you"

"How do you know?"

"I can see it in him"

"Do you have special powers, or something? What more do you see in people?"

"No I don't, but it's just obvious. You love him and he loves you"

"Who loves who?" I heard a man voice say.

We turned around and Wilmer was standing there.
Demi turned beet red, but I smiled.

"This is Samantha, or Sam" Demi introduced me, to change the subject "I'm good friends with her mom and she's staying here for two and a half weeks"

"Hi Samantha, I'm Wilmer Valderrama. Sierra's dad" he said, as we shook hands.

"I know" I said.
He smiled at me.

"So, what were you girls talking about?"

"Nothing" Demi replied, way too fast.
I started laughing.

"Looks like something funny. Can I join the fun?" he asked.

"Sure, we were just talking abou-" I started.

"Don't you dare, miss Johnson" Demi said.

"Oh, you did not just go there, miss Lovato" I said, turning to her.

"But I did" she said.

Wilmer stared at us, not knowing what was going on, but we both started laughing.

"God, this is unhealthy" Demi said "I can't breathe"

"Me neither" I laughed, holding my stomach.
It wasn't even that funny.
We were just lame.

"I sometimes really don't get girls, but I'm glad you're having fun" he said.

After we calmed down, we went back to the food.

"I'm sorry, Wilmer, but some things are meant to be kept private" Demi said.
Wilmer faked a pouting face.

"I would've told you if she didn't go down the miss Johnson road" I said.

"What's wrong with miss Johnson? What does she have to do with anything? Who is she?" he asked.

"I'm miss Johnson, you idiot"

"Oh" he said "that still doesn't explain it"

"I don't like when people call me miss Johnson. And she just did, which means she's really mad"

"Why?"

"Cause she only calls me that when I do something wrong, like not paying attention in class, or stuff like that" I said, smiling at Demi.

"I don't get it, but whatever. It looks to me like you have a pretty good relationship for a student and a teacher" he said.

"Don't even go there"

"What do you mean?"

"She's not, and I repeat, not my teacher"

"What? Now I'm confused"

"She's my teacher in school, but outside of school, and especially in her home, she's not my teacher. If she was, I wouldn't even be in the same room as her and I would not joke around with her. So don't call her my teacher, cause it's gonna ruin everything" I said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to"

"That's fine. I'm just warning you. Now, move your lazy ass and help us set the table. We're having lunch" I said.
Demi started laughing and he looked at me in disbelief.

"You're a bossy one, aren't you?" he smiled.

"I just like being in control" I admitted.

"I like you" he said.

"Don't you think I'm a little too young for you?" I joked.
He turned red and Demi burst out laughing, again.

"I didn't mean it that way" he said.

"I knew that. I just wanted to make you uncomfortable"

"You're a sneaky one, too" he said.

"Oh believe me, she's a lot of things" Demi laughed.

"How do you put up with this?" he asked her.

"That's a secret. If you figure it out, we could go a long way" I answered, for her.

"What do you mean, a long way?"

"Oh, we can have fun together, you know. I can joke around with you, pull a prank on you, or with you, we can hang out and stuff like that. Believe me, you'll be surprised by how much fun I can be. Demi didn't even see all of that yet"

"You're so full of yourself, aren't you?" he asked me.

"How could I not? I'm just so amazing. You would be full of me too, if you were me. But you're not"

We all burst out laughing. I was really enjoying this. It was fun to joke around like that and have fun. They were really fun people.
If they get married again, I can come over a lot and hang out with them. I should really start arranging their wedding. They're so in love, you can see it in the way they look at each other. I just have to convince them to tell each other. And I know I'm gonna do that.
