I stood there in the center of the kitchen as Dianna was getting some stuff ready for tonight, they were cooking out, Eddie was currently outside getting the grill read.
"Is this spicy?" Dianna told me as she basically poured a spoonful of sauce in my mouth unexpectedly.
"It's- it's great Dianna" But really that sauce was spicy as heck, my mouth was burning, I needed something to drink or I'll probably die of hotness. I opened the fridge trying to act casual and grabbed a water bottle and basically chugged it down.
"Well you're a thirsty one" I smiled at Demi's mom. My phone rang unexpectedly making me excuse myself from Demi's mom briefly
"Hello" I said as I arrived in the living room which was empty
"Naya where are you?" My sister said, she sounded a little tired
"Um sis...I'm with my girlfriend I told you and mom" I heard her clear her throat
"Oh yeah that's right. I forgot, sorry, how is it being there" I looked up only to find Demi standing a couple of feet away from me
"It's great, especially since I get to wake up next to my girlfriend everyday" I told my sister, I heard a soft aww through the phone making me smile
"Well take care sis, hope you have a wonderful New Years, love you, bye" I hung up and looked at Demi who was playing with the puppy on top of the couch, I went up to them pausing slightly in front of Demi who was sitting on the couch
"No invite?" I said playfully
"Me and Buddy are having a wonderful time, isn't that right Buddy?" He just positioned himself in front of Demi and started to sleep on her lap
"His name is not Buddy, it's Ash"
"Buddy sounds more cuter and adorable" I shrugged
"Ash sounds cuter"
"Does not!"
"Does too!" Demi crossed her arms
"I'm kidding babe, you known your name sounds perfect too but apparently Ash sounds better" I said making her hit me in the arm
"Whatever floats your boat."
The day went by incredibly fast, around 6 is when Demi and I started getting ready. Dianna said guest were supposed to arrive at 7 or 8
"How do I look?" Demi told me, since it was going to be cold outside she was wearing a coat and a scarf around and just some regular skinnies
"You look great Dems" She pecked my lips before grabbing a beanie and throwing it at me "Thanks" I put it on as we both made our way to the backyard. There was Eddie cooking, and basically the whole family outside positioned around the bonfire that Eddie had made. I looked through inside the house seeing that just then the guest had arrived. Once they passed through the slide doors I got a clear look of all 3 of the people that where there, and it wasn't hard to gather which one was Ruby. I kinda knew which one was her, I was right, she was the one that gave me a look when I was running outside. What was her problem?
"Ah the Benevides are here" Dianna and Eddie went on to greet them as I stayed next to Demi the whole time. They all sat on the other side of the bonfire
"Do you guys want to eat?" Dianna asked them, they all said yes except for Ruby
"No I already ate but thank you Mrs.Lovato" They all went inside leaving only Marissa and Ruby here, and of course me and Demi. Marissa started a conversation of how she has a theory that fishes have legs, I stopped paying attention and my eyes went straight to Rubys direction, she happened to be staring at my girlfriend, then her eyes moved from her to me and she only smirked before looking at Marissa. It wasn't hard to catch Ruby staring at Demi every time, it made me uneasy about it that at one point I had pulled Demi into me by putting my arm around her shoulder as she leaned her head against my chest
