FEGG - G8 - Cosmo - Chapter 5

 We still hung out, Demond and I. Even though we had to be sneaky.

 Some nights, he even came into my room and we could lay for hours and just chatting.

Today he even asked me out again. My parents were going away for a few hours.

 We took my green car, and drove to The Prosper Room.

 There were guards, but Demond talked to the guard and just a minute later, he let us go in.

 We ordered supper and ate on the balcony.

 It was really nice and we could even see our house from there!

 It was almost midnight when we sat in the hot tub. This time, we didn't just stare at eachothers, Demond actually laid his hand around my shoulder and I leaned closer to him.

 At least a while, until Demond started splashing around in the water.

Then I switched side.

 "I was thinking.." Demond said after a few minutes. "We can never be together as long as you live at your mother..."

 I looked at Demond. "I know.." I said. "But she'll never give me enough money so I can afford to buy my own house."

"That's weird. I thought she didn't want you in the house..."

I rolled my eyes. "She don't want me in the house, but she don't want to give me money either. Only reason why I have clothes, is because of my father. He gives me an amount of money each month."

 "Is that so?" Demond looked at me surprised. "I thought you hadn't met your father since you and your mom moved."

"I haven't. He's sending me the money. I don't even know where he lives, because he isn't in our old house. I've checked that."

 Demond nodded slowly as I changed back to the spot next to him.

"I'll just wait and see. If mom is going to be worse to me, I'm going to move."

 "Worse?" Demond snorted. "Like that is even possible."

I smiled sadly. "Maybe it is.."

Amanda

 It was so quiet in our house. I hadn't seen neither Cosmo or our butler, since before Tom and I left our home earlier this evening.

Now we both sat at the kitchen table, eating some cake.

"Do you know where my kid is? And our butler?" I asked Tom.

 He looked at me. "No... I haven't seen neither of them since before we left. You don't think they're out together, do you?"

"I'm afraid of that." I said. "But I don't think Cosmo would be so stupid. Neither would Demond, for that matter."

 "But who knows," I continued. "Maybe I'm wrong. If they're getting home at the same time, we know if they've been out together, right?"

 "What if he's only driving her to some place?" Tom said. 

 "We've seen them both together before! You don't seem that suspicious! I think you should be suspicious!"

 "I'm just saying that we need more proof."

 "Let's do like this, we're waiting for them at the door. If we're seeing anything suspiciously, we're going to teach them both a lesson." I said and Tom nodded.

Cosmo

 We were holding hands while walking into our house.

That was maybe the worst thing I had ever done. Or maybe the best. How you now should look at it.

Because, mom and Tom were waiting at the door.

 The first thing mom did was to start yelling and shouting at me. I did nothing but just stand there.

I didn't really listen, but she shouted something about kicking Demond out of the house.

 I could hear Tom yell at Demond on the outside, when mom slapped me in the face. I wasn't ready for that.

 I should've been used to being hitted now and again, but this time, I fell apart.

I just turned around and rushed through the door, and right into Demond's arms, where I started sobbing.

He patted me on my back and comforted me, while we walked to the garage.

I saw neither mom or Tom, while Demond drove away from my home. I didn't knew where he took me, but I didn't care either. As long as I got away from Bridgeport.

And now when I had my boyfriend from my dreams, everything was perfect, as long as I was with him.
