My Hero: A Dimon Story

Chapter Five

Demi's POV:

"So what happens next?" I asked Max nervously.

"Javier will be put on trial, and you get to go back to doing x-factor. Bad news though, you can't go back to your apartment until the trial is over as the police have still deemed it as a crime scene until the trial is over" Max explained to me and left Simon and I alone in the room.

I wasn't that disappointed by Max's news though; I get to hopefully spend more time with Simon; that is if he still is ok with me staying here. I mean, we did almost kiss, and I don't want to make him uncomfortable. I am dreading that conversation because a man like Simon probably thinks I'm a big joke. I want him to take me and the idea of us seriously, but I can never read him and tell how he feels. If there were ever a time for me to develop a super power, now would be the perfect time to become a mind reader.

"I'm so glad that they caught your stalker" Simon told me.

"Yeah, me too. I can get out of your hair now and stay at a hotel-" I began to say before Simon cut me off.

"Nonsense. All your stuff is here already and you are already my guest. There is no reason to leave, unless I uh made you uncomfortable earlier."

I was shocked and confused by that and gasped, "What? No, why would I be uncomfortable?"

"Because a man much older than you tried to kiss you earlier today. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I leaned in and I wanted to kiss you. I uh actually thought that I had made you uncomfortable" I nervously told him.

"No, of course not. So, you like me huh?" Simon asked cheekily.

I lightly slapped his arm.

"You like me too, it seems!"

"Yeah, I do actually. Demi, I don't think I have ever felt this way before in all honesty. You challenge me, you call me out and bring out the best in me"

My heart fluttered at that.

"I don't think I knew what real love was until I met you. The way you never have any ulterior motives, and respected me while I slept over in your room. It's not often I get treated properly by a guy, I guess I don't have the best track record. So, where do we go from here?"

"Well, I think we should go on some proper dates, and build a strong foundation for our relationship. I want this to be a strong relationship because when I look at you, I see a future with you"

"Then, that is what we will do. Simon, does that mean I'm your girlfriend?" I asked with a huge smile on my face.

"Yes, Demi. And I am your boyfriend."

"Great! The only thing is though, how are we supposed to act in public? Do you want to keep our relationship private for a while to see if we even last or-"

"Well, someone is pessimistic. Demi, give love a chance. If you would prefer to keep the relationship private, then that is what we can do. I have strong feelings for you and would love to scream it to the world that you are my girlfriend, but if you aren't ready for that, then we can keep it private. I respect you and the decisions you make."

I smiled at that. Why is he so perfect sometimes? I'm so used to wanting to keep my relationships private because when there is a break up, it feels so violating, as I am a celebrity. Everyone speculates and follows you around hoping to get the inside scoop, vultures are what I call them, but the official term is paparazzi. 

"I think we should keep it private for right now, and when it feels right, we can go public. It's ok if our close friends and family know though. Thank you for being so understanding."

"Anytime, now I have to make some calls so that we are able to continue our x-factor judge's cuts soon."

A few days later at the X Factor set:
Simon's POV:

"Hi darling" I said to Demi as I gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Hi baby"

"Ooooh, Demi and Simon finally got together. Paulina and I had a bet going on the side, now who made the first move?" Kelly asked us smiling.

"Yeah, tell us" Paulina chimed in.

"Well, technically we both did. So who wins your bet now?" Demi asked.

"Well, I guess no one. My bet was Simon and Paulina bet that you would make the first move" Kelly replied.

"So, I guess the reward should go to us then" I suggested with a smirk.

Kelly faked a sigh and said, "I guess, I'm sure you could use the money Simon."

Demi, Kelly and Paulina all cracked up at that as I do have a substantial amount of money.

"Ok, lovebirds. Let's go and cut some acts," Kelly said getting up from her chair after the production assistant kept pointing at his watch to let us know we were due on stage right now.
