Episode Twenty-Six
Normal POV
Demi sighed and moved slightly before opening her eyes as she looked at Joe and arched her eyebrows, she sat up on the couch and looked around seeing the empty wine bottle and the two glasses sitting on the coffee table. She ran her hand down her face and sighed as she looked around trying to remember something.
“We fell asleep,” Joe mumbled as Demi looked at him as he rubbed his eyes and looked at her. “What,” he asked as she shook her head.
“I wasn’t drunk…when did we fall asleep,” she asked as he shrugged.
“I don’t know…somewhere in between talking about your problems and me not getting any,” he said as she shook her head. “Soooo…breakfast,” he said as Demi shook her head and laughed slightly.
“Actually it would be lunch but okay…I’m just going to go get dressed,” she said as she got off the couch.
“Well then I guess I’ll watch,” he said as she shook her head and pushed him back onto the couch before she walked off upstairs as he chuckled and waited for her downstairs. He brought the empty wine glasses to the kitchen and set them in the sink and then grabbed the empty bottle of wine and set it on the counter, Demi walked in and sighed and she tied her hair up. “So…why do you always wear your glasses,” he asked leaning his arms on the counter as she shook her head.
“Because I can,” she said as he chuckled.
“Come on seriously…you have like these amazing brown eyes and you hide them behind these lame ass glasses,” he said as she looked at him.
“Amazing brown eyes,” she said as he nodded his head.
“I am allowed to compliment people,” he said as she shook her head. “Come on to lunch we go cause I’m starving,” he said as she shook her head and walked out locking the door behind her and driving with Joe to a diner. They took a booth by the window and ordered their meals as Demi sighed, “I’m not that bad company.”
“No…no it’s not you it’s just…everything I said last night about my father and me being vulnerable and not wanting my family to know everything and about me losing the store and how I may lose my house…I just…I need to know that you’ll keep that to yourself…my family may know about the eating problems I had but they didn’t know that I hurt myself sometimes or had thought about killing myself…and they definitely do not need to know about me calling my father,” she said as Joe nodded his head.
“Your secrets safe with me Demi,” he said as she nodded her head. “Besides telling them wouldn’t do anything but cause more problems and why would I do that,” he said as she shook her head.
“Right…cause you don’t like causing problems,” she said as he chuckled and leaned back as there food was set in front of them. “You really are a nice guy aren’t you,” she said as he chuckled again and ate a piece of a French fry.
“I try…doesn’t always come through though,” he said as she nodded her head.
“I’m still not dating you,” she said as he shrugged.
“Didn’t think you would…but this whole friendship thing can now start instead of me just being…convenient,” he said as Demi shook her head.
“I was just mad when I said that Joe…your not convenient…well actually you were the night of my brothers wedding but that’s a different story,” she said as he chuckled. “You’re…a really good guy and I’d be stupid if I told you that you weren’t my friend,” she said as he chuckled and nodded his head before eating another French fry.
