Shawn's hand was entangled around your waist, as you were still slightly shaking from the incident that took place earlier.

As soon as you step outside the house, the cold wind hits your whole body. Your knee felt like jelly. Seeing you hard to walk properly, he keeps his arms safely around you. You, however, were looking around everywhere but him. You were so single-handedly embarrassed and wanted nothing more to just run away.

Shawn, on the other hand, was having a blast. He presses his lips together trying his best to not to burst out laughing at your adorable reaction. He even spotted the redness around your cheek which was making his heart melt. When was the last time he felt like that?

"Oh this way," He guides you to the right. You leave a random cough slightly which allows him to take your hand.

Unable to control any further, he mistakenly leaves a broken laugh but  ends it the second later. Your neck snaps to him instantly with an angered frown on your face, Shawn slaps his mouth and freezes.

You were so frustrated to the point that you could kill him at this instant. You wanted to strangle him for making fun of you like that.

Part of your heart was also feeling sad, thinking that how he probably didn't even mean anything like that. He was simply messing with you and probably got caught at the heat of the moment.

"Shawn!" You shout.

He bursts at last, no longer able to control his bubbling laughter.

"Stop laughing! This is not funny!" You urge. "I actually feel like pushing you off the cliff!"

"Relax it was a joke." He chuckles, cracking your emotions to pieces.

A fist formed immediately. This is not right, he cannot simply toy with your feelings like this. As Shawnie, you allowed him but not anymore.

"A joke?" You question, "So my feelings are just a game for you?"

Seeing you visibly upset and eyes threatening to tear up, Shawn softens. "Wait,"

"No!"

"Wait, you-Your feelings? W- that? what do you mean by that-"

"Forget everything. You are just plain stupid. You don't care about anything other than yourself! Now, where is the god damn car! These heels are killing me!" You burst unexpectedly as fear of confessing your feelings like that was bothering you. You desperately wanted to change the topic.

Shawn was speechless though. His tongue gets cut at the words. He was confused about the whole thing.

Getting in the car, you both settle down, when an awkward silence takes over the atmosphere. He drives off to the destination when you nervously play with your fingers on the spot. Shawn keeps on sparing a glance once in a while through his car mirror. Urging himself to ask you about your feelings but at the same time getting scared of your response. You were mad, and it was most likely that you wouldn't tell the truth.

As the car stops at a certain spot, you angryly stomp to get off the car and immediately lose balance over your heels. Shawn was on his way to run to you and help you, but you send a palm to him. "Don't!"

He shrugs and with a huff, you remove your hair from your face. Reasonably pissed at him, you stand yourself up and you don't even dart your eyes around to know where you were. So busy being mad at him, you even forgot that you were excited to finally breathe outside, which isn't his empty mansion.

"If you are done being mad, then look to the front and see what your surprise is!" He smiles teasingly.

You click your tongue before fixing yourself and finally view what was waiting for you.
