(Editing) Sold to Be His

Chapter 30

Shawn holds my hand and we walk into the kitchen. "Why did you leave my side? You should have woken me up," Shawn kisses my forehead.
"Sorry, you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to disturb you," I answer.
"Alright, so what were you and Henry talking about?"
I walk towards the refrigerator and see what we all can eat, then I remember Henry is going to cook for us.
"Nothing, just about relationships," I say.
I close the refrigerator and get a fruit bar from the shelves.
"Why are you half naked?" Henry suddenly comes in. "Is Athena wearing your shirt?"
Shawn grins, "Yeah and she wants me this way."
Henry laughs, "Oh I see, but Mrs. Marrison will arrive soon, I don't think she wants you around like this."
"My mom thinks he's handsome," I say.
Shawn chuckles, "really?"
"Yeah," I nod.
I start to eat the bar. I look at Henry getting the food out of the bags. "Let me help you," Shawn tells Henry.
"It's fine. I'm going to make a simple pasta with chicken," Henry answers. Shawn begins to wash his hands then goes takes out the chicken. Henry washes his hands as well and starts preparing the food.
"Do you even cook?" Henry asks Shawn.
"Not really, but I would like to learn,"
"First put a shirt on dude," Henry chuckles.
"Fine," Shawn smirks at me, "Athena can you give me my shirt back."
Henry looks at me and he blushes. Does he think I'm going to strip in front of him?
I roll my eyes, "Fine." I chuckle in my head as I begin to unbutton the first top buttons.
Shawn's face turns to stone and Henry's eyes widen. I slowly remove the third button. I feel the air coming in and touching my breasts. It feels weirdly satisfying. I'm surprised Shawn hasn't stopped me. He is just staring at me in disbelief and awe. The third button is off and I feel cleavage showing.
I hear Henry gulp and then Shawn shakes his head and quickly gets me. I release a laugh, "ha! Like if I'm getting naked right here. Let me go change."
"Don't do that again," Shawn whispers. Oh man, he really is upset. I nod and walk in my room and change. I put on the dress I had and fix my pony tail. I go back and see Henry cooking the pasta while Shawn is glazing the chicken with butter.
"Here," I hand him the shirt. He cleans his hands and puts it on.
"Okay, pop the sucker in the oven Shawn," Henry says. Shawn nods and places the chicken inside the oven.
"It should be ready in about an hour or so," Henry says.
"What now?" Shawn asks.
"Athena and you can make the desert: cookies."
I lightly smile, "your making my favorite dinner meal, why?"
Henry turns down the heat of the pasta and smiles at me. "Your mom said you needed a good meal to make you feel better. I asked her if I can make you what you liked from her cooking and she said it would be a good idea."
That's so nice of him. I'm happy to have him around. I hug him. "Thanks."
"So," Shawn pokes my shoulder. "I will make you the cookies. How about you go rest?"
I step back, "sure."
"Alright," Shawn smiles. "Henry, go buy some of that fake champagne?" He hands Henry a 20 dollar bill.
Henry takes it. "Okay, do you know how to make the cookies?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, just call this number, 9-1-1, if the kitchen gets on fire," Henry sarcastically says.
"Just go."
...
My parents arrive just in time to eat. Henry set the table and food. We all are sitting in front of a delicious chicken, with pasta with tomatoes and dressing, and vanilla cookies. Shawn did a great job.
"Wow, you cooked all of this?" Dad asks Henry. He nods. "Also Shawn help."
Mom smiles, "what? Really?"
Shawn looks down shyly. "Yeah."
I told my parents about my decision before Shawn arrived. It is sort of awkward to be dinning like we are a happy family. I know my mom is uneasy with my decision and dad is still feeling guilty over all of this. I'm still feeling upset but I know I want to be with Shawn.
"Let's eat," I say. I'm hungry!
Everything turned out delicious. I thank both men. Man, I'm so lucky.
My parents are in their room while I'm in the living room with Shawn and Henry. I'm sitting in between them with my legs on Shawn and I'm resting against Henry's arm.
We are watching an action movie.
"I'm so full," I whine.
"You ate for two this time," Shawn touches my stomach. I smile at him, "well, what's your excuse fatty pants?"
I pat his stomach, he has a food baby. Henry snickers, "oh man, that was a good comeback Athena. High five man." He raises his hand and I hit it. I giggle, "thanks."
"Oh okay, time to go," Shawn stands and gets my hand. "To where?"
"Back home," he says.
I stand, "isn't a bit late? How about tomorrow?"
"Shawn is jealous," Henry jokes. I look at him and he has a big grin.
"I'm not,"
"Then you feel bullied by Athena and me?"
"Please," Shawn rolls his eyes. "I'm just want my wife back in my bed."
"Oh wow," I say, "too much information?"
"It's true," Shawn shrugs, "and I want to cook you more dinners and accompany you and this journey of motherhood."
"Now he's cheesy," Henry stands and stretches.
I chuckle. "What cheese is he?"
Henry thinks for a second, "mozzarella."
"What?" Shawn asks.
"Nothing," I say. "And we are leaving tomorrow. AND! You shouldn't be jealous or upset."
"I'm not and okay, let me book our flight."
"Well, I'm leaving to my hotel, I'll see you darlings tomorrow."
"Bye," I hug him. "Thank you."
"No problem," he says. He pulls away and kisses my nose. He quickly leaves before Shawn begins to get angry.
I lightly chuckle as I turn to see Shawn. He gets me and wipes away Henry's kiss and places his lips on the spot.
"Oh Mr. Trevor, why don't you get along with Henry?"
"I don't like how comfortable he is around you," Shawn says, "I am a bit jealous, but that isn't it. He's too lovey with you."
"He's my best friend," I say. "He doesn't mean it in a bad way. If he crosses the line, I will stop talking to him and to you, okay?" I ask.
"Alright, I'm just being stupid," he grunts. "And really tired."
I hug him. "Let's go rest my love."
"Okay, mon amour," he smiles.
Oh boy, I would never understand Shawn's attitude. But I know he loves me and trusts me. He is just like any other man who gets jealous when someone compliments their partner.
I will be the same if a girl was like Henry around him. But I trust him. .....
Next day
We say goodbye to my parents. Henry is leaving with us too.
"Please, take care of her," I hear my mom tell Henry as she let him go of her hug.
Why didn't she tell Shawn? I guess she doesn't trust as she did before. A lady announces our flight and we quickly go.
We get to the first class section of the airplane.
I'm sitting with Shawn while Henry is alone facing the window.
"You okay?" Shawn asks me.
I nod. "Yeah."
"I know you don't like flying,"
"I'll be fine," I try to convince myself as well. I really don't like flying.
Soon the airplane takes off. I start to feel nauseous though. Ugh.
I close my eyes and set my head on Shawn's shoulder. He kisses it.
It is a quiet trip. I look at Henry who is just looking out the window in thought. Maybe he's thinking about what we talked about relationships, or about painting something. Or even me.
Wait why? Why would he Athena?
I mentally slap myself. He's my friend, my best friend, he doesn't see me that way.
My phone vibrates. It is Royce.
Royce: hey, you didn't say bye?
Me: so sorry, I knew you were busy. Henry told me he told you.
Royce: still, are you okay? You sure about Shawn?
Me: yes.
Royce: okay, well friends right?
Me: =) of course. Love you
Royce: me too bonita.
