"I heard you, you know. The little sex show you two put on earlier for the entire hotel"

Candi gazes at Shawn with a look that could kill and he simply lifts his glass to his lips and takes a sip. Water from our mini bar is all he will drink, refusing everything the restaurant has to offer

"So what? You shouldn't have booked the room next to us if you didn't want to hear us fuck, I mean look how hot this girl is, what else am I supposed to do with her?" he speaks harshly but he doesn't lift his head to meet her gaze and I'm once again reminded of the shadow of himself he becomes in her presence

"Well I didn't expect you to bring the little girl with you did I, as far as I knew this was a work weekend not a 'bring your latest fling to work' weekend" She swishes her red hair over her shoulder and then gulps down her champagne and I see Shawns jaw tense

We have been at dinner with Candi for just 15 minutes and already the atmosphere is thick with animosity

Shawn is rigid in his seat, saying very little and looking like this is the last place on Earth he wants to be whilst Candi is taking every opportunity to insult me and put me down and prove to me all the reasons that I don't belong here and don't belong with someone like Shawn but I know some of the history between them and that makes my chest burn with a unexpected protective fire

I need to be be stronger than I usually am, I need to be the girlfriend that Shawn needs in his weakest moments not just the body he needs in his most lust filled ones

"He's so romantic" I say looking across at Candi who still has her gaze trained solely on Shawn "a surprise trip to New York is what most girls my age can only dream about" I take a sip of my wine and then reach for Shawns hand over the table. He gives me a small smile and then squeezes my fingers and I know he's thanking me so I decide to carry on this way, to take the lead and to protect him as much as I can from the woman who is causing such a visceral reaction in him

"Yeah well women have different dreams and needs to those of little girls and Shawn knows all about the needs of a women Isn't that right Shawn?"

He sips his water again but doesn't speak so I slip my hand under the table and slide my hand up and down his thigh, the way he smirks at me tells me he's taking it as something more than just comfort and that causes Candi to glare at us and down the rest of her champagne before clicking her fingers at the waiter and demanding a replacement

"Are you okay baby?" I ask Shawn quietly whilst stroking his cheek and he just shakes his head "want me to get us out of here?" My heart begins to thump hard in case he says yes and I actually have to act but his head snaps to face me

"Please" his eyes are begging me and his fingers grip me tighter.

If I was his real girlfriend and I would do anything for him, I would get him out of a situation like this if he begged me to so I heave in a breath and then begin to formulate a plan

Clutching my stomach I lean forward a little and grimace

"You okay?" Shawn asks and for a second it sounds as though he's genuinely concerned that I'm ill so I wink up at him

"I have a stomachache"

"One sip of wine and the child has a stomachache" Candi rolls her eyes "pathetic! Why don't you just head back to the hotel and leave the adults to enjoy the evening?!" She drains her second glass of champagne and once again blazes a gaze into Shawn

"I am nearly 20 you know!" I argue, pissed off at how she keeps trying to strip me of my woman-ness just to make herself more appealing to Shawn "You do remember that far back don't you?"
