My Last Nerve

Chapter 5 The Real Us

    The rest of the drive was really quiet. Until 'Stitches' came on the radio. I started singing and forgot Shawn was in the car. I never sang in front anyone ever before.
   When it stopped I realized he was staring at me. "Eyes on the road. I know I'm beautiful but keep you eyes on the road," I said trying to get him to forget about it. "Did anyone ever tell you that you're an amazing singer?" He asked trying to keep his eyes on the road but failing. "No, I never sing in front people," I told him feeling nervous.
   "Well that's about to change," he said. "What do you mean by that?" I asked scared. "You're going in the talent show," he added. "I was planing to but the changed my mind," I said. It was silent, dead silent. "How come I never hear you sing?" I asked him from curiosity.
     He let out a chuckle. "Me? Sing?" He said. He playful pinched me. "Ow what was that for?!?" I wined. "Nope you're not dreaming," he said laughing. Soon we got to my house. He rushed to my door and went to grab me. I stopped him quickly. "I'm feeling better I can walk now," I told him. He shot me puppy eyes. "Fine have it your way!" I said letting him pick me up. Once we got inside he plopped me down on the couch. "SpongeBob?" He said pointing to the tv. "Ninja Turtles," I said arguing. "No SpongeBob!" He fussed tickling me. "F-f-fine Sp-Sp-SpongeBob it i-is," I gave up.
   "I win! I I I I win!" He pranced around the room with the remote. "Only under one condition," I said. "What is it?" He questions confused. "Go make popcorn," I acting like a troop leader. "M'am yes m'am!" He said saluting me before he ran into the kitchen. I love his silliness. I love him. He is the one for me. "Shawn, um the popcorn is the other way," I shouted at him. "Oh. Yea. I knew that I was just looking at myself in the mirror," he shouted back. "We don't have a mirror that way," I said giggling.
4 minutes later he came back with the popcorn. "What took you so long were you looking in the 'mirror?'" I said joking. "Oh you'll pay for that!" He said pointing at me. "What will you do about it?" I asked being smart with him. "Oh Miss Smartie Pants what will I do about it?" He asked tickling me again. "Ok ok I wou-ldve-e been l-l-longer!" I stuttered. "Good now let's watch SPONGEBOB!" He said pointing to the sky and one fist on his waist.
  "Oh Shawn!" I said in a loving but funny way.
