Shawn's POV

I downright felt like an ass for not realizing that Camila was so upset. I'd been so caught up in not ruining the surprise proposal that I'd let my anxiety get the best of me. I should've known with everything that's happened to her that she needed to be reassured that I loved her sooner when I started to pull away. Even though all seems to be forgiven, I can't help but feel like she's still hurting on the inside. I hate the feeling that I've hurt her. It was never my intention to cause her to question my love for her. God doesn't she realize that I need her like I need oxygen to breathe?!

I just really hope this trip goes perfectly. My hands are sweating as we pull up to the twin cabins I have booked for us. The largest one set to house our family and friends. She has no idea what's coming, but I now know I need to work overtime to make sure my anxiety is at bay, and she feels more loved than ever. I don't ever want her to question my love again.

Once I'm parked I turn and face my sleeping little angel. She looks so peaceful all wrapped up in the blanket my mom made her. Soft little snores fill the space between us adding yet another ping of regret to my heart. This has been the most soundly she's slept in weeks.. and it's all my fault.

Fingers crossed tomorrow goes as planned.

Deciding to forgo bringing our bags in right now, I unbuckle and exit my side of the truck. Walking around to her side, I gently open the door, unbuckle her and wrap my sleeping girlfriend in my arms. She only stirs a little, but I kiss her forehead and encourage her to go back to sleep as I carry her to our cabin.

Once I get to the walkway for the cabins, I nuzzle my nose into her neck. "Okay baby, I need you to open those pretty eyes for me. I have a surprise" I hum as I place soft, delicate kisses to her skin. "Mmmm too comfy" she whines but works to open her eyes anyway.

Once her big brown doe eyes meet mine, I can't help but smile. God I love her so much. A warm smile spreads across her sleepy face as she wraps her arms tighter around my neck and brings her lips to mine. "Hi baby" she sighs happily as I help her stand up. Turning around in my arms I feel her stiffen and my heart plummets.

"Oh my gosh Shawn! These are beautiful!!! Which one is ours?" She says excitedly as she looks at me in awe. It takes me a second to answer once my heart restarts, but I tell her the smaller of the two is ours. Like a kid in a candy store, she grabs my hand and runs towards our cabin. Once there, I retrieve the key and hurriedly open the door.

Let's just say we don't see much of the inside before Camila squeals in happiness and proceeds to drag me to the bedroom. "God I've been waiting to get you back here so we can do this" she almost growls as she looks at me through her thick lashes, eyes full of desire. It's so hard to deny her when she's like this, and she knows it too as she starts walking towards me slowly, removing clothes as she goes.

"Fuck" I mutter under my breath as my perfect little sunflower stops at my feet in nothing but her panties. "Please Shawn. You've been so cold for weeks you've barely even touched me until recently..." she muses as her hands slide up my chest leave goosebumps in their wake.  We explore just enough to find the bedroom and quickly enter the room.
