[19] A Lot, Actually.

I woke up with a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. I realized that my head was still on Shawn's chest.

I analyzed his handsome features; his jaw, his eyes, his lips, his nose. He was practically perfect.

All of a sudden, his eyes flew open, catching me checking him out. I turned a deep crimson red, and I hid my face on the side of his chest.

"Hey, don't be shy. I check you out too. A lot, actually." he whispered in my ear.

His breath fanned my face a little as he did so,  and I felt my face go even warmer from both his comment, and just his presence. I didn't even care that both of us had morning breath, because it was such a perfect and cliche moment. It still surprises me how much he can affect my emotions so greatly in this short period of time that we've known each other.

"Be quiet, Shawn." I said playfully hitting his bicep.

He chuckles a little at that, and he began playing with my hair. It was the most relaxing thing ever. Although my hair was probably all over the place, I've always enjoyed it when people fiddled with my hair. It was soothing for me.

After a while of us just laying in our fort, Shawn finally convinced me to get ready for the day. It was Sunday after all. He decided we could go do something fun, like go to the mall since I haven't been yet.

I used the bathroom first,  while Shawn tidied up my room. I felt sort of bad for letting him do that on his own, but he did insist he was going to do it.

I decided to take a quick shower, and walked to the bathroom bearing my towel and clothes. I turned on my beats pill and one of my favorite songs, Drown by Bring Me The Horizon came on. I honestly have no preference on the song genres I listen to. I could listen to any type of music.

Once the water was warm, I jumped in the shower. After I washed my hair and body, I wrapped a towel around myself , then I brushed my teeth and did my business.

After that, I slipped on my clothes. I felt edgy today, so I chose my black nirvana shirt, black skinny jeans, and a really loose military green hoodie. Then I put on some chapstick. Thank God my skin was almost perfect today, so I didn't need to put on anymore makeup, not that I usually do anyway.

Once I was finished, I washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom.

I about died after I saw the scene in front of me unfold. Shawn stood in the middle of my room, only wearing a pair of black boxers.

I didn't know what to do, so I just turned around, hoping not to get caught by him.

But of course, he noticed me and spoke up. "Hailee, are you done with the bathroom now?" He asked.

I nodded, not trusting myself to say anything. After a few moments, I heard his footsteps walking closer to me, and I could literally feel my heart beating.

I was silently hoping he had some pants on, although the sight before was pretty great. I just don't trust myself around him when he's in that state.

I heard him laugh silently next to me as he walked into the bathroom, I saw he was wearing shorts and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

He stared at me for a few seconds and I stared at him confused the until I realised I still haven't turned around. I blushed a crimson red, as I turned to my bedroom and walked away.

Why do I act so stupid around him? I thought to myself while shaking my head.

While Shawn was taking a shower in the bathroom, I slipped on some socks and my maroon Doc Martens. It was getting pretty cold here in Canada, since it was near the end of fall.
