julie's pov

my cousin melissa is getting married in a week and she lives in my hometown, london. she asked me to be a bridesmaid and said that if i wanted, i could bring my boyfriend, shawn along. i agreed happily, excited to be able to go to london with him. i grew up in london, but moved to toronto when i was six years old. then, our family met shawn's and everything fell into place from there. it's been a while since i seen melissa and i'm excited to be able to go back to my home.

i still haven't asked shawn to come with me yet, but i know how to. i'd be leaving tomorrow, the day before his birthday, so i know the perfect thing to do for him. in london, there is a harry potter themed hotel. i could make reservations there and also, take him to the warner brothers harry potter studio for a tour.

i decided to go over to his house and say 'goodbye' because our flight leaves at six thirty tomorrow morning. my parents already talked to his and they are fine with him coming with us. i said a quick goodbye to my mom before stepping outside and walking down the street towards shawn's house.

knocking on the door, his mom opened it with a welcoming smile on her face.

"hey honey, come in!" karen said, shutting the door as i stepped inside.

"hey, is shawn home? i'm here to tell him he can come if he wants!" i said.

"he's upstairs. i know for a fact he's going to go because he wants to go to london very badly," karen said, nodding up the stairs.

"i'm going to book a room in the harry potter hotel," i said. "well, i'm going to try too. i bought tickets for a tour at the warner brothers studio too, so hopefully that will spark his interest."

"oh my, he's going to love that! go on up and tell him the news, he's just in his room," karen said, "he's been telling me about how much he wants to meet your extended family."

"thanks," i smiled, heading up the stairs.

i went to his room and noticed the door closed. knocking softly, i got no reply.

"shawn?" i said, going in to his room and seeing him sound asleep on his bed.

"baby," i nudged his arm slightly. "wake up hun."

"hmmm," he hummed, groggily opening his eyes.

"julie!" he said once he realized it was me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me onto his lap. i moved my legs to his hips so i was straddling him.

"hey baby," i said, running my fingers through his messy hair, "i came to say goodbye."

"i'm going to miss you so much," shawn mumbled, laying his head in the crook of my neck as his eyes fluttered shut again.

i giggled.

"i'm going to miss you too. sleepy are we? guess you won't be getting your surprise," i said, standing up.

"no," he said, snatching my wrist and closing my hand in his. i had texted him eariler and told him i had a surprise and he was anxious ever since. "please tell me." he added with a pout.

"well-" i paused, suddenly thinking of a new way to tell him about the surprise. "wait,why aren't you packing?"

shawn furrowed his eyebrows, "i have nothing to pack for."

"you can't go to london without a suitcase," i said sarcastically.

"wait - what?!" shawn said suddenly, catching on to what i was trying to say.

i laughed, raising my eyebrow. reaching into my cross body purse, i grabbed the plane ticket that i purchased when i got mine.

"also, you can't go to london without one of these," i said, handing it to him and watched as he unfolded it with wide eyes.

"if this is a joke, it's not funny," shawn said in a serious tone, dropping the plane ticket.

"if whats a joke?" i asked quietly, trying not to smile.

"me going to london, this is a cruel joke," he scoffed.

"who said i was joking? Flight leaves at six thirty tomorrow morning but we will be here around four because of having to go through security and customs. i would recommend that you start packing now though," i smiled, watching his expression change.

"you're not joking?" shawn asked.

"happy birthday baby, you didn't seriously think i would leave you on your 18th birthday, did you?" i asked as he pulled me into his embrace.

"i love you so much!" he said.

i laughed, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"oh and there's one more surprise," i said.

"why? this is way more than enough," shawn said, looking down at me.

"in london, there is a harry potter themed hotel," i said, watching his eyes grow wide, "that's where you and i will be staying."

"oh my god! this is amazing!" shawn laughed, leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. i smiled into the kiss, feeling him pull away and kiss my forehead softly.

"so you'll come?" i asked as he got up, going to his closet and opening it. he pulled out an empty suitcase and placed it on the floor.

"of course i'll come. i just have to talk with my parents-"

"mom and i did that already" i said quickly, cutting him off.

"then i guess we're going to london!" shawn said, picking me up and spinning me around. he placed me back on the ground and his eyes gazed into mine lovingly. his hand was at my cheek, his thumb rubbing the skin as he smiled.

"i love you so much Julie, how did i ever become so lucky?" shawn asked, his voice low as he leaned in and kissed me again.

right as i wrapped my arms around his neck, the door was thrown open. shawn and i jumped away from each other, looking towards the door and seeing aaliyah standing there, her arms crossed.

"do you need something?" shawn asked with a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"nope, just wanted to stop by. you guys are gross with all your kissy lovey stuff," she said, walking away.

shawn playfully rolled his eyes and turned back to me, shaking his head.

"i have to go home because i have yet to start packing, but i'll see you tomorrow?" i said, going to his door. he nodded and took two strides towards me, pulling me into a hug.

"i'll see you tomorrow"
