Forever yours

Ch. 16 Love Is In The Air

We road up into my garage and I parked it. Shawn hoped off and undid his helmet "by the way how did you find my house?" I want to know if he'l say jess told him. "Jess" good. We threw our helmets on top of my moped and started to walk into my house but Shawn pulled me to a stop. "Shelbi can we promise not to keep any secrets from each other? No lieing... Nothing" I nodded "I promise" I knew it was going to be hard for him to fully trust me again. But Im making a promise to myself, I will work my ass off to regain his trust.

We walked into my house "Shelbi!" We crossed around the kitchen "hey mom" she saw shawn and smiled. "Hello Shawn" she stucked her hand out for him to shake. "My name is Niki" he shook her hand "nice to meet you officaly" he looked my way but I rolled my eyes. "Okay well I'll let you to do whatever... Cherie wanted some help painting her kitchen so I'll be off" she walked out the door and left.

"Well she was nice" I nodded "how about a tour of my house?" He nodded. "Welll this is the living room, and that's the kitchen" I pulled him over to the laundry room and he's already seen the garage. "And that's my moms bedroom, but she doesn't like anyone in there" he nodded and I pulled him up stairs. "This is my bathroom, and that's the hallway closet... And this is my room"

I pushed open the door and let him in, thank god I put away the posters. "I was expecting posters hah, silly me" oh my god. I walked over to my closet and started to close it, I didn't want him to see them. "Why are you closing your closet?" He had a smirk growing on his face. "No reason at all" he ran over and picked me up in the air "No shawn!" He threw my down on my bed and started to tickle my sides.

"No.. Sha... Shawn!!!.... Th... That!!!.... Tick.... Tickles!!!..." His laughter started to go throughout the room. "Then let me see what's in your closet" I tried to shake my head but he kept tickling me. "Fine!.. Fine!.." He let go and kissed my forhead "good" his pushed him off me "I hate you" he chuckled "you love me and you know it" I stuck my tounge out at him "you wish" he nodded "that is true"  woah.

"I do wish that one day you will love me" how did we just go from messing around with each other, to the topic of love?

"Maybe one day" don't get me wrong, I have insane feelings for this boy. But I can't just say I love him after 4 days... Can I?

"Now let me see what's in the closet" I skipped over to my closet and opened it to he half that didn't have any posters "see just clothes" he crossed his arms across his chest "fine..." I opened the other half and I grabbed the posters.

"How come they're not hung up?" Crap, he just had to ask. "Before you came here. I riped them off... I wanted a fresh start" he started to go through each poster. "Oh I remember this one! I did that shoot with Taylor swift.. That was fun" he grabbed another one that was a picture of him on a beach. "Oh and this one I did with one direction.. We had the same photographer that week... Now those guys know how to have a good time" my eyes widened a little as he told another amazing story about each photo.

"What? Why are you looking at me that way" all of the poster pictures were scattered across my floor "it's just amazing at how you can remember things so easily... Its really unbelievable... I mean I have a hard enough time remembering where I put my cell phone" he chuckled "I wont remember my photo shoots as much as I'll remember the first time I saw you" I rolled my eyes "which wasn't even a week ago"

"Doesn't matter... I'll always remember like it was yesterday... I still hate that guy tho" he started to ball his fists up, crushing that poster he was holding. "Shawn its okay, its in the past and I'm okay" he looked straight at me "but Shelbi what if I never had come out that back door... What if I never found you" I didn't think about that. If he never would of found me then he probably wouldn't be sitting in my bedroom right now.

"I'm glad it happened" he gave me that 'are you crazy' look. "Think about it. I probably would of started to walk back if that man wasn't there... Perfect timing really.. Without him I wouldn't of met you" he smiled and let the last posted fall to the ground. He took my hand in his "what would I do without you" I kissed his cheek. "Well for starters you could clean up all these posters" he shook his head but started to Pile them up. He folded them again the way I had them and put them back in the closet. He looked in my closet a little more. "What this?" He started to pull out my old wooden box "nothing..." I got up and walked over to him and started to put it back. "Shelbi... I thought we weren't going to keep secrets from each other anymore"

I nodded and let go of the box. Be pulled it out and I sat back down on my bed... I was hoping he wouldn't ask about this. He flipped the latch and opened the box. "Who's that?" He pulled out a picture of a man holding a baby. "Just someone who use to be in my life, but he disappeared when I was like 7" he sat down on the edge of my bed.

"There's just some photos in here and a present with a card" he pulled out the little present package. "On your 16th birthday open up" he looked at me.

"Why didn't you open this?" I Grabbed the package and threw it in the box along with the pictures "because I don't want anything from that man" I took the box from Shawn and shoved it back into my closet. "Shelbi who was that man?" I turned and met his gaze. "My dad"

He looked confused "what do you mean disappeared?" I closed my closet "that's just it, he disappeared... Didn't tell my mom anything... He just left that box in my closet..." He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me "I'm sorry Shelbi" I let out a sigh "yeah... I just don't know... He bailed on me so why should I care about him?"

He pushed back and looked at me. "I think that when your ready you will know what to do" that's just the greatest advice ever. "Hey how about tomorrow I take you out and show you my home.. I would show you now but its kinda late" I looked over at the clock and it was almost 10. He nodded "want to go watch a movie?" He smiled, I grabbed my phone and pulled him out of my room and down the stairs.

We walked over to the couch and he plopped down and pulled me over to him so that he had his arm wrapped around my shoulder. I grabbed the TV remote off of the thing and started to scroll through Netflix. "Is it bad that I can't really remember the last time I had enough time to watch a movie?" What??

"Seriously? What was the last newest movie you saw?" He thought for a minute "probably avengers" I formed the 'o' shape with my mouth. "Well we got some catching up to do then don't we" he chuckled and I kept scrolling "oh wait how about catching fire!" I nodded and clicked it.

I pulled the blanket off from the top of the couch and covered up the both of us. And soon I drifted off to the sound of the TV and the feeling of Shawn's hand entwined with mine.
