Water and Desert

24-Mesmerising

Shawn put a frying pan on a stove and started whipping the egg yolk to make omelet. Living alone for years now, he definitely knew how to cook but he wasn't the best in it. Most of the times, he used to be busy and had to eat with friends or other people in restaurants. He couldn't make a lavish breakfast but definitely could make a delicious breakfast which you could enjoy in the morning. Flipping the omelet, he put it aside, as he heard someone on the door. He went to open it and found none other that Hailey standing there with huge smile on her face, wearing blue tight jeans with cuts on the knees, high heeled boots and a black laced strapped top. He wondered how she managed to look that fashionable in early morning.

"Hailey you? What you doing here..wait who told yo- Shit!! Zayn fuck you." He cursed on realising she would've known cause of Zayn.

"Shawn my dear, let me come in and then we'll talk." She moved forward to get in but Shawn stood in her way preventing her to move further due to his broad chest and tall height.

"No, you can't come in, just go Hailey I don't have time for you."

"Why?" She asked crossing her arms on her chest and then suddenly heard a delicate female voice calling his name. Her eyebrows pinched together as anger made it's way to her system. "There's a girl in your condo.." and without giving Shawn a chance to respond, she passed inside under his arm which was resting on a wall of doorway.  Shawn didn't get a time as she rushed towards his bedroom, he quickly slammed the door behind and ran towards her.

"You man whore, what the fuck you doing here." Hailey yelled hovering over Camila. "How you dare to put your hands on my man, slut!" She spat as she started slapping on her face and pulling her hair.

"Hailey!! I said leave her." Shawn yelled and pulled Hailey away from Camila. He helped Camila to get up from the floor as Hailey retreated from behind. "I will kill this bitch." Hailey spat trying to attack Camila again but this time Shawn hovered over her, protecting Camila in his embrace with his large body which caused Hailey to smack his back but his tough muscles were unaffected by her smacks while a tiny figure in white towel was clutched in his strong arms.

Camila was completely frozen in his embrace due to shock, as he moved her away from Hailey into the washroom while Hailey didn't stop smacking him on arms, back whichever spot she got to hit to find her way towards the girl. Shawn pulled Camila into washroom, locking the door behind. He picked her up and sat her on dressing table. She was quite, gripping the towel on her chest to stop it from falling down, as tears fell from her eyes and her damp hair sticking on her face. She was completely horrified and shocked.

"Wait for me here, I'll come back." He quickly told her while Hailey was beating the door, saying bad things about Camila. He opened the door again and Hailey was about to rush in when Shawn grabbed her from her elbow, pulling her outside his room.

"Leave me Shawn, how dare that bitc-"

"Shut up! Hailey." He shouted at her. "Just shut up! Leave my house now and don't you ever dare to put your hand on that girl again. You are psycho, go seek help." He spat, leaving her outside his door, he slammed it on her.

As soon as Hailey was out, Shawn took a sigh of relief and ran straight to the washroom where he left Camila. She was still sitting there in the same position with terrified look on her face. Shawn looked at her ashamed and moved closer. He lifted his hands to put it on her cheeks but the action made her flinch from her spot and she lost the grip on her towel. The material fell down around her hips, revealing her beautiful flawless bare skin. Shawn's breath hitched at the sight and Camila's heart started pounding as his eyes roomed from her breast to her tummy and then finally fell on her lips.

"You- are so beautiful." He said softly in a low seductive voice as his breath fell on Camila's lips. Slowly he leaned in and took in her soft lips in his mouth, tasting her tears. Camila gulped as he slowly made his way inside her mouth through his tongue, his hand moving from his face in the process, caressing her neck then breasts and finally her flat stomach. Her shivers died down, replaced by goosebumps as he moved his one hand to her bare back, pulling her closer while standing between her legs, caressing her spine up and down. She involuntarily started reciprocating the kiss tasting mint when his hand reached her damp hair cascading on her back. As soon as he did that, something hit his mind and he pulled away quickly.

They breathe heavily as their foreheads remained connected. He looked in her beautiful eyes which had so many questions in them.

"I'm sorry." He said softly caressing her cheeks and gave her a kiss on cheeks. Then moved towards his closet to pull out a T-shirt and shorts.

"Wear these and then come out for breakfast. I'll be waiting." He said giving her a reassuring look and left. She picked up the clothes and wear them over.

"How the hell he went back to Toronto without our knowledge." Louis said to Hannah in anger.

"Why are you angry at me, this was your responsibility to keep check on his activities." She spat.

"You're right..I didn't understand why the hell he had to take the girl with him, what if he really fell in love with that girl? But why the fuck he didn't show us any sign of it. I'm hella confused right now." He said in frustration.

"Calm down Louis, I think we need to go to him and ask him about all this mess."

"You think we can leave all this and go back..Did you loss your mind, We're in the middle of fuckin mission."

"Okay then you stay here..I'm going to Toronto but before I had to discuss all this with Brent."

"Alright as you wish but I think I already failed this mission cause you made us choose the wrong guy for the task." Louis complained. "You convinced us that he wasn't easy to get controlled by a girl but he did."

"He was the right guy at that time and I don't know why he did this but believe me I'm still stick to my words. He's tough to fall in love, there must be other reason for whatever he has done." She defended

"Let's see how right you are but do tell him that he is the part of all this and equally responsible for every shit cause he backed off without our knowledge."

Shawn took a bite with his gaze fixed on Camila who didn't speak a word since the Hailey's intervention. Wearing his blue T-shirt which was falling off her shoulder cause of it's big size, she was focused on her breakfast. Her eyes were swelled due to crying and her hair gathered in a loose ponytail. She didn't make any eye contact with him since she came in the kitchen. He wondered if it was their hot make out session responsible for this tension in the air. He looked at her and all he could think was how mesmerising she was. Now when he saw her half naked, he was sure he couldn't remove that image out of his mind. There was no way he wouldn't think about how her lips tasted and how her skin felt against his hand. But he couldn't do anything about it, he had to maintain his distance cause she didn't know the truth. His mission was to expose Galitzine not sleeping with that innocent girl with the help of lies.

"Why are you so quiet?" He finally asked trying to break the awkward tension between them. She didn't respond instead remained busy in what she was doing. "Look Camila I didn't intend to welcome you here like this..I'm so ashamed of whatever Hailey did to you and.." He stopped noticing she didn't look up for even a second but continued. "If you are feeling uncomfortable due to what happened in washroom..I'm extremely sorry about that, I just couldn't resist myself. But if you'd behave in that way then it would become difficult for us to live under the same roof." She still didn't look at him. "Did you understand what I mean." He asked sipping water from the glass.

"Was she your girlfriend?" She finally asked without lifting her head.

"No." He said putting glass back on the kitchen counter where they were sitting, facing each other. "Actually that girl is just crazy for me." He tried to find suitable words without even realising that first time in his life, he was trying not to offend a girl. "I mean she wants me to be with her but believe me I'm not interested in her at all." He explained which wasn't necessary.

"Didn't you want to date me?" She asked staring at her plate. "Then why you refused to take things further with me and felt sorry about our kiss." Finally she looked up and his breath caught in his chest. He felt his throat getting dried as he thought about how to answer this question. So now it was happening, she wanted answers. She wanted to know the truth.
