CHAPTER 28- Beach
Demi's POV
We'd been on the beach for awhile now, everyone was exhausted and just sitting by the fire talking quietly. There were some guys father down the beach sitting around so Mike invited them to join us. To my surprise, it was Wilmer and a familiar bunch of his friends.
"Hola Hermosa." He murmured, and sat next to me a safe distance away. I gave him a small smile, we kept quiet for a while until we were eventually coaxed out of our shells by our loud friends and joined in the laughter and sang along with them. At some point in the night, I felt a hand on my back and Wilmer kissed my cheek, although he pulled away abruptly.
"I'm sorry."
I just shrugged, "It's fine Will."
He smiled, and leaned back against the log, "Remember Mexico?"
I couldn't fight the smile that grew across my face as I watched my friends throw each other in the water, "Of course I remember Mexico, it was so much fun." He smiled and I asked the question that had been on my mind all night. "So don't take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing in Brazil?"
He chuckled, "Vacationing actually, I have some family here from Venezuela."
I nodded, "I didn't know you had family here."
Wilmer shrugged, "there's probably a lot you don't know about me."
I snorted, "Obviously."
It got awkward then, with the tension until Wilmer spoke.
"You know I;m sorry right? For everything."
I shrugged, "Honestly Wilmer? I don't really know. You manipulated me into abandoning my daughter."
Wilmer sighed, "But I love you, and I know there's a part of you that loves me too."
I shook my head, "Wilmer I love Nick."
He nodded, "That may be true, but you can love more than one person at the same time. I know you love me, so I'm not gonna quit."
Then, he was kissing me, his touch sending a jolt through me as I kissed back automatically. His tongue pushed against my lips and I shoved him away.
"Oh my God Wilmer! What the fuck?!"
He threw his hands into the air, "I'm so sorry Demi, it was just a reflex. I'm so-"
"I don't want to hear it Wilmer."
He raised an eyebrow, "Then why did you kiss back?"
"I-I didn't." I defended.
"Yes you did Dems, and you know it. I'm sorry but I'm not going to stop until I'm sure you don't have any feelings for me."
I stood up, "Well you might as well give up now. I love Nick and Im going to marry him."
Wilmer barked out a laugh that made me want to punch him in the face, "You're so naive Demi. A guy like Nick has his whole life ahead of him. You need someone like me, who can settle down with you."
I shook my head, "Fuck you Wilmer. You don't get to do this, fuck up my mind even more than you did when we were together. You're manipulative, and a liar. Do I still care about you? Of course. You were a huge part of my life for so long. But do I love you? And do I see myself spending the rest of my life with you? No. I'm sorry but I don't. At a time, there was no doubt in my mind you would be the one I married, but that part of my life is over. I think all of those things and more about Nick. Wilmer you didn't support Mac, but Nick adores her. He puts her in front of even our relationship. You wouldn't do that. I can see NIck and I having kids. You and me? Not so much."
Wilmer sighed and stood in front of me, "You can deny it all you want, but I make you second guess yourself. You'd go back to me. I know you would. You'll see."
I glared at him as he turned on his heel and walked away, fighting the urge to scream and hit him. Instead, I too turned around and walked back to my hotel room, and called Nick. I needed to hear his voice.
"Hey Dems!" Just hearing his happy tone made me burst into tears. "Demi?! What's wrong?!" Nick was panicking as I cried into the phone.
"W-Wilmer." I choked out, and Nick's tone became angry.
"What? Why is he there? What did he say? What did he do?.. Oh God Demi, what did you do?!"
I shook my head even though he couldn't see me, "He kissed me, and basically told me he'd never leave me alone until I admitted that I was in love with him."
Nick inhaled deeply, "Well...?"
"What what?"
He hesitated, "Are you?"
"No!" I nearly shouted, "I mean.. I don't know there's feelings there but and I' confused but they're so minuscule to my feelings to you because I am completely in love with you they're insignificant. I promise."
Nick was quiet for a few seconds, "Okay."
I whimpered a bit, "Don't be mad at me."
He sighed, "I'm not mad at you Demi, I'm pissed at him. But why did you even talk to him? Wouldn't it have been more logical to just walk away from him?"
I ran a hand through my hair, "I don't know I was in shock of him even being in South America."
"I don't know Demi."
I felt my breath catch, "What do you mean you don't know, you don't know about what?"
"Us? Wilmer? I just don't know Dems."
I buried my face into my hands and my voice was muffled, "Please don't leave me. Anything you want Nick. I'll quiet the tour, I'll never speak to Wilmer again, I'll marry you. Just please don't leave me."
Nick sighed, "I don't know Dems. I need time to think. I'll call you."
With that, he hung up and I let out a sob, throwing my phone against the wall and collapsing to my knees. Natalie came rushing in and grabbed me.
"Demi?! What's wrong?!"
I tried my best to calm myself down enough to sleep, "When is the next show?"
She furrowed her brow, "We have a bit of a break, three days, why?"
I took a deep breath, "I need you to book me a flight to Los Angeles."
