Leave My Heart Out Of This // Shawn Mendes and Hayes Grier

Chapter 16

~Cara's POV~

I woke up tangled in Shawn's arms, remembering the events that took place last night, I smiled and unwound myself from his grasp.

I still had on my clothes from last night, so I just walked down stairs and poured myself a bowl of fruity pebbles, Karen always bought the best food.

I checked my phone. 2 new text messages.

Oh, and it was November 21st, Logan's 17th birthday is tomorrow. Can't forget that..

I checked my messages, one from Jackie and one from Jack.. oh no.

JackEE⛄️- Logan's bday is tomorrow, we doing anything 4 him?

Me- idk, I'll probably get him a gift card or something.

JackEE⛄️- cool.

I then opened my text from Jack..

Jack Gilinsky- Hey, we haven't really talked since the party..

Me- yeah sorry. things just came up.

Jack Gilinsky- Well do you wanna hang out tonight?

Me- maybe, I'll see what going on.

Jack Gilinsky- okay, cool.

I finished my breakfast and headed back upstairs into Shawn's room, grabbing my suitcase and beginning to make my way downstairs to the guest room.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" A raspy voice asks me. I look behind me to see Shawn sitting up, and rubbing his eyes.

"To the guest room."

"I thought you were just gonna live in here. With me." He asked standing up and making his way over to me.

"Yeah, like your parents would be okay with that."

He put both of his hands up, right below his shoulders. I put my suitcase down and grabbed both his hands, lacing our fingers together. He jutted his bottom lip out.

"Please stay with me?"

"Shawn, your parents would never allow it."

"They won't care, please Cara?"

"Fine, you asshole." I leaned forward and bit his bottom lip.

"OW!" Shawn yelled, placing his index finger on his lip, making sure it wasn't bleeding. "Hey, that's what you get when you stick your lip out like a baby."

He smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "So, since it's since we have the four day weekend, Carson's having a party tonight and wanted us to come. You in?"

I remember that Jack wanted to hang out, but decided not to cause last time we hung out im pretty sure we would have had sex.. and we hadn't even talked before then.

I looked up at Shawn, "Yeah," I smiled, "I'm in."

I let go on his hands and put my suitcase stuff back into the corner of his room. We had put the suitcases and boxes in here the day my mom.. well, you know.

She's doing pretty good, shes called almost every other night, just making sure I'm okay.

I hope I get to see her soon.

I walked into the bathroom and applied toothpaste to my blue toothbrush, before looking up into the mirror.

I had never really taken time to absorb all my features. I didn't really know what I looked like now that I thought of it.

I took a while to look at my long brown hair, and fair skin. The freckles that dotted the upper part of my cheeks, and the bridge of my nose. My eyes, such a dark shade of green, almost brown. The way my eyelashes curled and my eyebrows peeked, just like the girls on Pinterest.

I wasn't the prettiest girl, or the skinniest girl, but at least I wasn't ugly, or fat.

Then Shawn came into the bathroom, he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder, we were both looking at ourselves in the mirror together, looking at every detail.

I loved the way his hair looked when he woke up, all messy and crazy, just the way I like it. Or his eyes, his deep brown eyes that just made you want to look at them and never look away, or his chiseled jaw line, and his cheekbones that were utterly perfect. His adorable lazy eye and his gorgeous smile. His cheek scar the he got when we were six, because he tried to shave his face like he always saw his father do.

He was something alright, that's for sure.

~Shawn's POV~

I loved the way my arms just wrapped around her waist perfectly. And the way her hair smelt like flowers and summertime, like it always does.

We were sitting in front of the mirror, just looking at our reflections.

I couldn't help but stare at hers.

Her absolutely stunning eyes, she's always hated them but I think they're absolutely gorgeous. I love the way her nose is. It's like the perfect size, not to small not to big, but perfect. And I loved the way she smiled, the left side of her mouth coming up higher that the right. I loved her Soft hair, I loved playing with it and singing her to sleep.

She was beautiful, I could not deny that.

~Cara's POV~

After about a minute of comfortable silence Shawn spoke up, "You're beautiful." He kissed me cheek.

There's another thing I love about him. I guess I never really noticed it, cause I'd never seen him kiss me before, but I love how gentle and passionate he is. He closes his eyes and breathes in deeply. It's beautiful.

"Thank you Shawn."

"No Cara, I mean it. You're stunning, absolutely gorgeous." He bent his head down and started kissing my neck, I tilted my head to my side, making it a little easier for him, while me moved down to my shoulder, sliding off the sleeve of my shirt in order to do so.

I could hear him mumbling some words, "Beautiful." was one the seemed to come up a lot.

I pushed him away. "Shawn, you gotta stop with all this stuff."

"But whyyyyy?" He asked, dragging on the end.

Because I'm gonna wanna sleep with you, and I can't go that.

"Because I said so."
