The Swift-Sheeran Family.

Chapter 4

Arri's POV:
I send out a tweet as it gets on to 10pm; @shawnmendes I'd really appreciate you coming home now so I can eat with you tonight, like we said we'd try to do all the time😒
10:15pm- still not home.
I walk outside and into the crowd of flashes, yep they've found out where we live. I head straight to my car and drive to the studio, generally annoyed.
I arrive and walk straight to the only booth being used.
"Shawn! Where the hell have you been for the past two hours? When did your band leave!"
"A, babe, I'm sorry I got caught up." I raise my eyebrows as he puts down his guitar.
"Stuff it, I'm going home Shawn. You get caught up some mor-"
"A, gorgeous, you know how stressful it is when we're writing new music. I'm sorry I didn't get home at 8."
"Yeah, exactly. When I spent 12 hours in this very studio today too. I'm going home. Carry on with getting caught up." I pull my hand out of his tight grip and walk out. This is the moment where you wish he'd try and come back and stop you from crying, where he'd comfort you and tell you he missed you all day. This is when-
"A, please don't get mad beautiful. I love you. I'm done now, I swear. I get we don't get much time together and that's why you're annoyed. I love you," Shawn says and I turn around. He walks towards me and throws me over his shoulder. I squeal and hit his back; "Shawn! Let me down!"
"I want that lasagne you cooked! And I'm not gonna let you down till you kiss me anyway. You know that's how it works," He says as he runs outside to my car. He sits me down in the driver's seat; "Now about that kiss," I kiss him on his lips, my hand pressed against the base of his neck.
"I love you Shawn Mendes," I whisper against his lips and he smiles widely and cups my face in his hands. He kisses me passionately, and slides a stray lock of hair out of my face.
He walks off to his car and I feel a grin play at my lips as I drive home. We eat and climb into bed and I feel Shawn clasp his arms around me.
"It's Ev's birthday tomorrow,"
"What time is her party?" Shawn's breath bounces off my ear.
"3, but I've gotta get some studio in and help set up with Mom,"
"Okay," He kisses my shoulder and drifts off into a sleep as I do too.
I awake the following morning feeling particularly cold. I turn my head to find Shawn's side of the bed empty. I get up and shrug on a hoodie and walk into the lounge to find Shawn watching the TV.
"Morning gorgeous," His morning voice still lingers as I sit next to him and he puts his arm around me.
"How come you're up?" I ask and he smirks.
"It's 11am babe, you slept in." He tells me and I mentally yell at myself.
"Sugar,"
"Your Mom knows, she phoned a minute ago. She had to take Maya to the doctors and Karlie's there now with Cara. Chill,"
"Okay," I rest my head on his shoulder and he pecks my lips as I shuffle closer to him.
"Oh, so you want to be close to me now?"
"The bed was cold without you," I whisper and he laughs as I reach for his hand that hung off my shoulder.
"I'm so sorry you faced that difficulty," He says and I giggle as I hear the door go.
"I'll get it," I sigh and open the door to reveal three girls who I've never seen before in my life.
"Oh my god! We were right!" One of them yells and I cover my ears as I hear Shawn behind me. He wraps his arms round my waist and sits his chin on my shoulder.
"Hi, how can we help you?" Shawn asks as the girls jump up and down.
"So this is where you live! Shawn and Arabella actually live here!"
"Girls, we've both just got up. We'd appreciate some privacy," I run a hand through my hair as Shawn continues to hold me.
"Okay! PDA alert!" The third one yells and I cover my ears for the second time.
"And for you to be quieter," Shawn adds before kissing behind my ear lightly.
"Okay! But will you like take pictures with us?!"
"We have some meeting we are supposed to be at in half an hour so we need to go," Shawn lies; "Bye," He proceeds to shut the door. "And by that, I mean kiss my beautiful girlfriend before she makes us pancakes for breakfast,"
"Bribery at it's height," I grin at him and he pulls me closer to him and he steadies my face by cupping it. I feel him look at me before kissing my lips sweetly and longingly. I kiss back and he moves a hand to my lower back, I feel my body almost go to jelly even though we've been together for 3 years.
I kiss him once more and walk off; "Nice try Mendes, make your own breakfast."
"You're not fair, at least wear something hot," He shouts  back and I raise my eyebrows as I rake through my wardrobe.
"We'll see,"
*1 week later*
"Got everything?" I ask Shawn and he smiles and nods tiredly.
Today was the day we were going on holiday, Mom, Ed, Ev and Maya were staying with us so we only needed one cab, well mini bus, to get us to the airport.
"Morning honey," I see Mom in the kitchen, feeding Maya and putting on toast for Ev.
"Morning Mom," I smile as well as I can, with it being 2 in the morning.
"Momma!" Ev calls and we both turn our heads to her.
"Yes sweetie,"
"We go swimming later?" Ev was extremely excited about the whole holiday to say the least.
"We shall," Mom answers as she passes Ev her toast. Shawn and Ed start to carry the bags to the car as we finish up on the house.
"Coming?" Ed pokes his head round the door and we nod, Ev clinging on to my hand.
"There's a bit of an issue," Shawn tells us and opens the door to a huge sea of cameras and flashes.
Ev starts to cry and I mentally curse. "Ev, go to Daddy," I send her to Ed who picks her up whilst Mom cradles a crying Maya.
Me and Shawn lock the house and head through the flashes, Shawn places his arm tightly round my waist and we walk through them, with difficulty. They decide not to let us move so we do our best until Ed shouts; "Move! Leave!" They quickly disperse and we walk outside to the minibus waiting for us.
The rest of the day flies by and it isn't long before we have arrived in Fuertuventura. (Spain, Canary Islands). We get to the hotel as quickly as possible, and with it only being 1pm we have plenty of time to do stuff.
We get to our room/apartment things and get changed to go to the pool for Ev. I change into a black bikini with my denim shorts and a paisley printed Kimono, I slide on some flip flops before meeting everyone outside. Ev's jumping around like she's about o explode and Maya is getting swung around by Ed.
"We're meeting Tay at the pool, she had to go and get a rubber ring and arm bands." Ed tells me and I nod, picking up Maya's bag and allowing Shawn to take my hand as we walk to the second out of there pools that we found out was a lot emptier and calmer than the others. We set out stuff down; "Who's going in first?" I ask and everyone stares at me.
"You... Obviously," Shawn says and Mom and Ed laugh.
"I'm going to get drinks," Ed starts and takes drink orders before walking to the bar by the pool.
"So, award for looking the hottest person here; your prize is first dive in the pool," Shawn whispers in my ear and I roll my eyes.
"Fine,"
"You have to dive in too, it's the rules;" I peel off my shorts and walk up to the edge. I swing my arms back for momentum, and dive in with no splash. The water's cool but decide to play a small trick.
"Your turn Shawn, you look second hottest;" I point to his bare chest.
"Um, no."
"Um, yes. Second prize; dive in to see me."
"Well," He steps closer to the edge and crouches down.
"It's not cold," I assure him before grabbing his hand and pulling him too.
He curses as I laugh and he picks me up in the water, I try to grasp his wet back but fail and he throws me in under the water. I come up, breathless but wipe the water out of my eyes and send him a cold glare.
"Aw, do you not like me anymore?" He asks, wrapping his arms round my waist.
"No," I say childishly and he sticks out his bottom lip.
"Does this make you feel better?" He asks, then proceeds to spin me round and kiss me on the lips.
"A little bit," I admit and his smile grows. "I love you," I tell him as our foreheads touch.
"I love you too babe," He replies and we are separated by my little sister.
"Arri! Look!"
"Wow! You're swimming Ev!" She kicks her short legs rapidly. We get out after a while and lie back down on our sun beds.
"Mom, Ed, do you want to go out for dinner tonight? I can look after Maya and Ev,"
"A, you don't need to do that," Ed begins.
"I'm going to, you two haven't been out for ages-"
"And neither have you and Shawn,"
"Exactly, I look after them tonight and later in the holiday me and Shawn will go out, I'm going to get a drink," I take drink orders again and walk up to the bar.
"So, what does this gorgeous lady want?"
"Just a diet coke please," I answer as plainly as I can.
"Coming right up, are you on your own?"
"My family is over there," I say and he smiles.
"Parents, siblings?"
"Two little sisters and my Mom with my Godfather and my boyfriend." His face drops as he grabs ice.
"Oh, how lovely."
"Yeah, thanks. I hand him our room key to pay for the drink.
"A, gorgeous, Maya's about to have her first swim;" Shawn puts his arm around my shoulder and I feel my eyes widen.
"And here you go, I hope to see you around," The bartender passes me the key card and me and Shawn walk off.
"He was checking you out," Shawn hisses at me and I stare at him, confused.
"And?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"Shawn, I wasn't checking him out? I love you, that's why." I peck his cheek and I feel him relax.
Mom and Ed were playing with Ev and Maya in the pool as me Shawn sit back down on my sun bed, watching them contently.
"Not gonna lie, it's nice to be out of a recording booth," Shawn says and I nod as I take a sip of my drink.
"It's almost like it was home away from home for a while," I sigh and he kisses my temple lightly.
"Perks of being a musician," He replies; "At least there's no one to bother us here. It's not like having them right outside your door;" We continue to talk as the sun beats down on to us, the perfect company beside me.
