There's always going to be the circumstances you can't plan for. There's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity.-Jason Silva

*||Decembere 22||*

I've always loved snow. It's the spark that adds up to everything around us. With it, the nature no longer looks like a dead and lonely place. The thought of something beautiful happening while everything is not at its best stage gives me hope.

A little bit more and the most beautiful time of the year is arriving, making its way through everyone's houses and hearts.

Aside from that my birthday is tomorrow. Nothing excited, right? Just me turning nineteen, that's all.

Everyone is busy going all over the place and buying gifts, while I'm here sitting in my room sketching. Outside is beautifully snowing and the ground is all covered in white.

Someone knocks on the door and a head pops inside.
"Hey there beautiful." Shawn says and gets inside his hands in the back hiding something. I can tell he was outside by his cozy clothes and rosy cheeks. Him and I are the only ones left at home, the rest are gone Christmas shopping.

I close my sketchbook and smile putting it away. "Hey there." I say and he comes closer to my bed. I lay on my bed and look at him sideways.

"I got something for you." He smirks.

"Hm, I guess you really thought of me."

"Oh yes. Now. Close your eyes." He tells me and I do so. The next thing I know is something cold being dropped on my face and all over my neck.

"SHAWN!" I scream as I realize that he just threw snow all over me. He quickly runs out of my room and tromps down the stairs. Without any hesitation i follow him. "You are dead!"
That stupid muffin.

I quickly slide on a pair of boots not even worrying if they match or not. I need to catch him. I have on a loose sweater and I quickly put on a pair of clothes that were laying on the ground.

"I'm coming for you!" I scream getting out of the house and running around like crazy.

"I've never been more ready." Shawn says and comes out of nowhere throwing a snowball at me as it gets to my neck. I gasp at the cold and he laughs. I bend down and throw one at him, which ends up way farther than what I intended it to.
Without any hesitation I come running at him and jump on his back. We lose balance and both fall quickly to the ground. I squeal at the snow that enters inside my thin clothes.

I look up and see Shawn laying on top of me. "You know what we should do?" I shake my head. "Take a hot shower."

I laugh and slap his face playfully. "Together?! No thanks. I'll gladly take it by myself."

He shrugs his shoulders and a smirk settles on his face. "Ok then Ladies first." The next thing I know is cold snow being washed all over me. All the way from my neck sliding down past my boobs. Everything so cold that I think my whole body goes instantly numb.

"SHAWN PETER RAUL MENDES!" I yell as he runs inside the house.

"Sorry but you asked to go first." He says.

I furiously get up shaking all the snow off of me and follow him. I make it inside and see his clothes all over the place. His shoes in the living room, his jacket and everything following up the stairs. I look at the socks on the stairs as I come to the top of them.

That boy just got naked while running away from me.

As I come in front of the closed bathroom I hear the shower running.

"Shawn I'm freezing cold!" I knock on the door. He took the main bathroom!

"Go take the bathroom in my room." He calls back and I sigh. He could've used his own shower!

I take a towel and enter his room shaking from how cold I am. I enter the bathroom and soon enough all the cold is gone as the hot water is hitting my skin. After about twenty minutes I'm done and hoop out of the shower drying myself. That's when it hits me.

I forgot to bring some change with me.
Why does this always happens to me?!

I tightly wrap the towel around my body. You know you can ask Shawn to give you some clothes instead of just walking around like this?

Oh yeah? And him searching for my underwear and bra?
No thanks.

I crack the door open a little bit and pick inside the bedroom searching for the one and only. Nothing in sight. I tiptoe careful out of the bathroom and into his room heading for his door.

"I see you had a nice shower." My heart jumps out of my chest, almost dropping my towel. I turn around and see Shawn coming out of his closet; in boxers.

Let me repeat that: In boxers.

I focus as hard as I can only on his face so my eyes won't travel anywhere on his naked body.

"Y-you need to put some clothes on." I say quickly gripping my towel.

Shawn smirks. "Oh, I'd say the same to you."

•••

"You know? Tomorrow is an important day." Shawn says as he takes a bite of his sandwich. My birthday is tomorrow and I wouldn't really say that it's just a big deal. But if he says so, then why deny it.

"Yeah?" I say quietly. It's late in the afternoon now. Everyone is home. Shawn and I are in the kitchen eating and the rest are too, just spread around the place.

"Yea of course!" Shawn smiles at me making me blush. "Dad is coming tomorrow!" He says excitingly.

Oh.

"That's... Um. Great!"I smile at him realizing that what he's been thinking of didn't match mine. He looks close into my eyes as if waiting for something more. I clear my throat. "I'm really happy for you! You'll finally get to see him, and I'll finally get to meet your father."

"Yes, indeed. I'm glad to have him as my fathers, he's the best."

I laugh. "Of course. I cannot wait."

I get up and walk over to the counter getting some more strawberries. I hear the front door open and a few gasps coming from the living room. I look at Shawn but he doesn't seem to pay attention.

Aaliyah comes running towards Shawn and pulls at his hand. "There's someone waiting for us. Come on!" She says excitingly and Shawn quickly stands up from his chair following her.

"Dad! You're home!" I hear his voice and smile. I wash my hands and quickly fix myself before going out there. My sister quickly comes in the kitchen and waits next to me smiling. I place my hand on the shoulder and squeeze it lightly making our way to the living room. I cannot be more happier for Shawn and everyone else.
I guess his dad made it home sooner.

A tall guy stands up straight with the family all around him. His back is facing me and I can't see his face yet.
He hugs each one of them and I can see the happiness in everyone's eyes. Something that I'll never get to experience.

As I stand here his face turns sideways and I focus on it. Something about those eyes remind me of someone I knew. He turns all the way facing me and my sister and there is something about that man. The way his hair falls into place and his smile seems to go up to his ears.

"I want you to meet someone." Shawn tells him and it's in that moment that he looks up and make eye contact with me. Memories flash in front of my eyes showing that the same person I'm facing right now coincides with the same person my visions show.
That's when it feels like a lightning hit my heart and makes it stop for a few seconds.

My eyes are glued on the man and my breathing is blocked in the back of my throat. All I can manage to whisper is,
"Dad?!"
