*Shawn's P.O.V*

Emma and I stop by my house on the way home from school, to tell my family the news.

"Hey family, were home! Mom, dad, and Aaliyah come in the kitchen. I have some news!" I yell, while it echos throughout the house.

I hear my 12 year old little sister, Aaliyah's footsteps coming down the staircase along with the words "Shawn Peter Paul Mendes is home from school, with his little girlfriend!" Yelling through the house.

I give Em a look of save me, please, before it's too late. She just giggles at me. I dig my face into the fridge pretending to be looking for something. As Aaliyah runs into the kitchen yelling my name even louder. A minute goes by, and I see she has stopped yelling. I look to see what's going on when my sister, and girlfriend are hugging. My heart drops ten feet. Its truly sweet! Seeing my sister love Em just as much as I do.
My eyes go from a glance to a stare.

Aaliyah looks at me pulling away from Emma playfully saying, "Is your eyes stuck?"

Emma laughs at her comment replying with, "It sure does look like it. Are they, Shawn Peter Paul Mendes?" Giggling at my embarrassing long name.

I look at them both giving them an evil eye stare, "You guys just love messing with me, don't you?"

Their voices in unison, "Yes, yes we do!"

I smile at them, replying with, "you guys are turds!"

Again their voices in unison, "Awe we take that as a compliment"

Aaliyah saying to me, "So, Shawn the news?"

"I'll tell you, hold on. Where's mom and dad?" Questioning my sister.

"Their coming, I'm pretty sure." Aaliyah answering my question.

I hear Em's sweet voice coming from the hallway, "There down here! Just in the living room."

"Oh okay, cool!" Replying back to her.

"Come on Aaliyah!"

Walking into the living room. Standing by Emma's side, holding her hand tightly.

I look at my mom, dad and Aaliyah. Trying my hardest to tell them the great news. Finally the words just escape,

"Today at lunch, I got a call from my manager. He asked me if I would be interested to spend my summer touring with Taylor Swift. I already told him yes, but I can always tell him otherwise. If you guys don't approve."

Aaliyah runs over to me giving me a great big hug of excitement.
Her tiny body jumps into my arms hugging tightly. Then my parents look at me with smiles. The words from my mom's month sounded somewhat like, "Absolutely we approve!" Then my dad's words were like, "This is an amazing opportunity."

My face brightening up with a smile from ear to ear. Replying back to them, "Oh this is great! I'm so glad you guys approve. Well Emma and I are going out to celebrate. If you all want to join.."

Emma's P.O.V

The words inside my head roaming all saying, "it's crazy to believe out of all these girls in this world, and I'm the lucky one to have Shawn as a "BFF" or even as a "boyfriend". I can't say enough how lucky I am. I wonder if he knows that?" I turn and glance at him driving. He catches me staring, while I quickly look away.

"Em, is there something? Do I have something on my face?" He quickly says, while patting his face with one hand.

"No babe there isn't anything. I just was thinking. That's all, and what can I say I love just looking at your pretty face." I say in between with long pauses, and biting my lip.

"Oh! Thinking? About what?" He looks at me with curiosity.

Long gasp about to speak, once the words escape. "Oh, you know.. Just....., How did I get so lucky to have you?"

That precious smile appearing, "Emmy Pie it's not you who gets to be so lucky to have me it's I who gets so lucky to have YOU."

I smile, blushing, "his words, get me every time." Thinking again inside my head. Leaving my heart pounding in beats.

As everything is going so sweetly between Shawn, and I. I hear Aaliyah's gag in the back. I laugh, while looking back making eye contact. My mouth speaking to this little girl I've know forever. "Aaliyah, you may think this is gross now, but wait a few years from now. You will see love isn't that bad. It actually is a precious thing you will see." I grin a little bit at myself. Proud to believe that those words just came out just then. She looks back at me stunned!

Shawn pulls away from the wheel about to kiss me. As I notice. I scream the words, "Shawn, keep that hand and face on the road!" No time for thinking I just yelled. God he is so stupid sometimes. Rolling my eyes back to myself with my arms crossed. Going on with my rant inside my mind, "Doesn't he know that could've been really dangerous? His sister is in the back! What was he thinking?! Gosh I could go on!"

My mood had shifted to sweet Emma to mad/angry/aggravated Emma. We finally approach Jacobs & Co. Steakhouse. (Interesting fact Shawn and I's first date was here. So this place is very special.)

I couldn't stay angry at Shawn for too long. For a little bit I had him play the suck up card to me. I got some pleasure out of it! Finally I had to quit the pretending and spend time with him.
