stormy temper

Demi

"Are you fucking kidding me Wilmer?! Seriously? Another picture of you with some random slut at a bar?" I yell while throwing my leather jacket across our bedroom, pacing around the room. 

"Demi it's not - -" 

"It's not what Wilmer? Don't feed me the 'it's not what you think' bullshit!" I interrupt as Wilmer stands quietly. 

"Demi, baby please just listen to me" Wilmer pleads, worried about my temper. 

"Okay let's here it 'baby'" I mimic as he stares at the floor with his hands in his pockets. 

Suddenly, there's a crack of thunder before rain starts to pelt off our bedroom window, startling both of us for a second before Wilmer finds the balls to speak.

"Demi, she came onto me. I swear on my life I didn't do anything. She was just looking for attention and knew there were cameras everywhere. Baby please believe me" Wilmer begs as I run my fingers through my hair, letting out a laugh. 

"And you expect me to believe that crap?" I chuckle as I walk up to Wilmer. 

"It's the truth Demi" Wilmer says in a raised voice, obvioisly becoming frustrated at the fact I don't believe him. 

"You know what Wilmer, I'm done" I shout, causing Wilmer to look at me in confusion. 

"You're done? You mean with us?" he asks hesitantly. 

"Done with this relationship. Until you tell me the truth, I'm gone" I say angrily as I turn around, storming out of our bedroom.

"No no no, I can't lose you" Wilmer panics, watching me grab my car keys, heading for the door. "Demi wait!" he yells out as he runs through the hallway, catching up to me as I open the front door and storm towards my car in the pouring rain. "Demi, can you fucking stop just for a second!" Wilmer yells above the thunder and rain, causing me to stop in my tracks as I turn to face him.

My white t-shirt's now drenched with water, revealing the black bra I'm wearing beneath it. My hair's fallen onto my face, with strands laying across my cheek as I stand, panting out of anger.

Wilmer stares back into my eyes. As he slowly walks towards me, he runs his hands over his face in an attempt to wipe the rain from his face. It's pointless, the downpour's too heavy and he's already soaked through his clothes, just like I am.

"Demi, I'm telling you the truth" Wilmer says as he places his hands on my shoulders. I look down at the ground, the rain disguising my tears that run down my cheeks. Wilmer reaches for my chin, lifting my head up. "Demi, look at me" he whispers as I flick my eyelids up, looking into his's eyes while trying to hold in my tears that keep falling. 

"You are my only person, my beautiful girl. I love you more than anything in my life, I swear to you, I promise to you that I did not cheat on you. Demi you're my everything" Wilmer cries as my chin begins to tremble, my body shaking from the cold wind hitting my soaked skin. 

"But the pictures- -" I cry as I sniffle, dropping my head back down to the ground. 

"Mean nothing. You know what paparazzi are like, they try and make a story out of anything" Wilmer replies, pulling me into his embrace.

The rain starts to fall harder as a flash of lightning appears, startling us.

"Baby please - - -"

Before Wilmer can finish his sentence, I cut him off with a kiss. The kiss slowly intensifies as I through my arms around his neck, while he holds my  tightly against his body.

The sound of thunder surrounds us as we continued to kiss, our tongues now pleading for entrance. Wilmer slowly runs his fingers through my wet hair as I move my hands from Wilmer's neck, down to his shoulders and arms. Another flash of lightning hit the ground, this time much closer. Wilmer breaks away from the kiss and decides to lift me up into his arms, carrying me back into our apartment.

The rain water from our clothes drip down onto the laminate flooring of the hallway as Wilmer kicks the door shut with his foot, still carrying me in his arms. Neither of us seem to care about the water trail following us as Wilmer walks into our bedroom, placing me onto our bed.

I look up at Wilmer, who's currently stripping down into his underwear to change into some dry clothes.

"I'm sorry" I sigh as tears start to build up in my eyes once more, "I overreacted, and I'm just really sorry" I admit, looking up at Wilmer who's now staring at me with a sad expression on his face.

"You had every right to be mad Demi, my past is no secret" Wilmer says softly as he sits down next to me in just his underwear, "I love you sweetheart" he whispers as his hand runs across my lower back. I look up at Wilmer, staring into his eyes.

"I love you too" I reply, kissing Wilmer softly on the lips.
