Come Back To Me ~ Jemi

18.

DEMI P.O.V.: I sighed loudly as I made my way into the living room with two burgers that I bought to a delivery and two sodas.

What I'm supposed to feel? Probably nothing.

I sat in front of Joe in a couch and watched him play with Mason's hands as he smiled slightly.

Demi: he likes you

Joe: you think? (He asked me without looking at me)

Demi: yea...he's very outgoing actually, well...once he meets someone he is. He can be shy sometimes too

Joe: (he smiled at me and nodded) he looks very happy Dems

Demi: I like to think that he is very happy. I've done everything to keep that smile on his face

Joe: it worked

Demi: (I shrugged bitting my lip) Nick helps...a lot

Joe: of course he does, he's incredible (I nodded and we started eating while Mason was playing with his toys on the sofa next to Joe)

Demi: what are you working on?

Joe: I've been making music...a lot

Demi: that's good

Joe: what about you?

Demi: Scooter wants to make a new documentary about how I write my next album. The process, you know (he nodded smiling slightly)

Joe: I'm happy to know that you continued with your work

Demi: yea, I needed it to...forget about you (I whispered and he looked deep into my eyes)

I could feel him trying to say something, I saw something in his eyes that he wanted to say.

Joe: Demi...

Demi: oh-umm...I think I should change Mason (he sighed and nodded picking him up)

Joe: can I go with you?

Demi: sure (I picked Mason in my arms and went upstairs to change his diaper)

I was doing my job when Joe sighed.

Joe: I don't think I'll ever be able to do it as good as you do it

Demi: oh believe me...it's easier than what it looks (we laughed and I chocked on my breath whenbi realized what he said) wait...do you pretend to keep seeing him?

Joe: I live in London, you know but...I'm gonna rent an apartment here so I can spend time with him

Demi: I thought you didn't want to know about us (I watched him as he tried to talk with his eyes again)

Joe: Demi...it's complicated

Demi: yea, sure it is (I rolled my eyes) anyways, I hope you continue seeing him. He likes you and it's nice to meet his real dad even tho I'm sure he's happy with Nick too

Joe: I...I really should go now. My plane leaves in an hour so it's time to go

Demi: yes, we'll take you to the door (he picked Mason up and we walked downstairs in silence. Once there, I opened the door and saw him kissing Mason's neck as the baby laughed slightly)

Joe: I'll see you soon baby, I promise. Dad won't forget about you (I swallowed hard the lump on my throat when he said that and he looked at me after giving Mason to me) hey, are you okay?

Demi: yes, I'm fine (I said nodding but I think he didn't believe me at all)

Joe: I'll see you guys later, send my greets to Nick.

Demi: okay, I will...same for Sophie

Joe: sure (he kissed my check) bye, be safe

Demi: yea, you too (he kissed Mason's forehead and left without looking back at us)

Watching him leave like that, I felt the lump growing in my throat again. I tried to swallow it again but this time, I couldn't. I just kept watching the empty street while some tears fell down my cheeks.

I was fucked up, mostly if he's gonna stay in Mason's life.
