Oh but your my mistery lover

I woke up with a major head ack. I was surprised from how comfortable I had slept considering the fact that I was in the back of my car. Shannon began to stir. Her hand was still tangled in mine.
She looked at me and smiled. I looked away and yawned. I did this just so I wouldn't hit her with my morning breath. I looked back down at her and smiled.
"Good morning pretty laddie" I said as I regretted my words instantly. I didn't mean to flirt it just happened. I saw her blush and that made me smile even more.
"Good morning" Shannon said as she lifted my hand toward her lips and kissed the back of my hand.
I smiled down at her and then decided it would be a good idea to get my mouthwash from the front seat. Before I could reach it I jumped back out of fear. *Bang bang* Chase had smacked the window of my car. Shannon giggled and I giggled along with her.
"Clay and the rest of us are gonna head out. Oh and uh Clay wants to know if your going over to his place tonight Shannon?" Chase said through the door.
Shannon looked at me. And somehow I knew what she was going to say. So I just smiled.
"I...um....I'm going over to Alex's place tonight. Tell him I'm text him later." Shannon said as she looked away from me and at chase.
We hadn't even talked about her coming over but it didn't bother me. She just didn't really seem to like the idea of being with Clay and I wondered why.
"Okay. Well it was nice meeting you Alex and oh um use protection kiddos." Chase said and winked at me. Clay must have heard him cause he yelled something in the background. I giggle as I made my way toward the front seat. I started the engine and pulled down the window. Chase then gave me his number on a piece of paper in case we wanted to hang or something. We fist pumped and then he got in the car next to us. I looked over at the car next to us to find that Clay was glaring at me. I pretended not to notice. I grabbed the mini mouthwash that was in the cup holder next to my beanie. I took a mouthful of it and sweated it around my mouth. I spit it out of the window.
Shannon had moved to the seat next to me with my phone. I didn't mind that she had my phone it's not like I had anything to hide.
"Hay can you put this number in my phone while I get a couple granola bars from my bag?" I asked as I gave Shannon the pics of paper chase had given me.
"Sure"
And with that I opened the door and poped open the trunk. I opened my suit case and looked through it. After a couple minute of searching I found the box of granola bars. I opened the package and grabbed a couple of them.
I shut the trunk and walked over to my seat. I opened the door and sat down putting the granola bars in the cup holders. Shannon was silently staring at my phone . I looked over and saw she hadn't opened it just yet she was just staring at my lock screen.
/crap I forgot about my wallpaper. She probably Asking herself who that is. I should tell her./
"Hay you okay?" I asked as I laid my hand on her shoulder.
Shannon pulled away abounding my touch. She didn't say anything. She didn't even look up at me. She just sat there. I continued to look at her as she avoided eye contact. She was avoiding all contact actually. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to explain that my wallpaper was of me with another girl cunooduling.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Shannon asked with a little irritation in her voice. I was surprised that she had spoken.
"No..." I said as I looked at the wheel.
"Well this picture says otherwise. Or do you just kiss all your friends." Shannon said but this time she seemed a little more upset.
"Only the pretty ones." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Wow" Shannon said as she dropped my phone into my lap.
"I was only playing Shannon." I said as I looked over at her with a smile.
"Yah well... It's not funny" she looked at me with a long face.
"I'm sorry... Her names Kristen...she's my ex. We've been apart for about six months...and we're happy with our lives now...or at leave she is..." Tears were on the edge of forming but I held them back just so Shannon wouldn't see me like that. I hated when I got attention for being sad.
"Oh I'm sorry. I just thought...sorry."
"Nah it's okay I get it." I lied I didn't get why she was acting this way. She was with Clay there was really no reason why. I looked in the mirror and I realized my hair looked messy. So what I did was put my grey beanie over it. There all better. Hats make everything better. I looked out the window and saw that it looked gloomy out. Maybe that's why she was acting this way. There's a saying that the weather affects you mood. But we'll never be sure.
I looked over at Shannon and smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" I said while still looking at Shannon.
I put my puppy face on because what I was gonna ask I wanted A solid answer. And with every girl that I've been with they could never say no to my puppy face.
"Yah sure anything" Shannon said as she brushed a piece of hair out of her face. The same piece fell back to the same pace. With my hand I gently brushed it behind her ear and smile. I kept my hand on her cheek for a couple seconds then decided I should move on to the question.
"I've realized that you and Clay are kind of a thing..." I paused to keep her interested in what I was gonna say next. I roamed my puppy eyes over to Shannon's eyes and continued,"but I can also tell that you don't seem to be to happy around him....what's up with that?"
I knew it wasn't really my business but it only fair considering that she cornered me with Kristen.  I could tell she was thrown back by what I asked and the color from her face drained. The smile she had faded and thats when I knew i had to say something.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't feel comfortable just yet." I said reassuring her that I was okay with her decision. She looked away.
"No...it's okay I wanna talk to someone about it. I just didn't have anyone to talk to. I mean yah I have friends but I feel like they are all in on it. I mean chase is Clays best friend. And Jans in love with chase and will do anything for him. And well Britney likes..." Shannon paused, but she didn't need to say anything else because I knew what she was gonna say already. Everything added up. This is why Britney was whispering things into clays ear. And why she was always next to him while Shannon wasn't anywhere near them. Shannon's eyes started to water and before I knew it a tear strum down her cheek. I reached over to her and whipped the tear away.
"Hay it's okay...I'm here." I said as I leaned over to give Shannon a hug. She deserved better. She was such a good person. And I felt my heart sink when I saw her tear up the way she did.
I was filled with rage on the inside, but on the outside I was in control. Clay had no right to hurt Shannon like this. He didn't deserve her. Thoughts of hurting Clay flew through my head.
My thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of my phone. The song girls/girls/boys played  by panic at the disco. Shannon broke our hug and said," you better get that."
Upset by the fact that my phone interrupted a moment I reached down into my lap and saw the caller ID. I froze looking at my phone. It was Kristen. We hadn't spoken in months and then out of the blue she decides to call me. I thought about answering but I just let it ring. She can't just leave and enter my life whenever she wants to. I can't give her that much control over my life.
My phone buzzed again. I put it on vibrate and let it continue to buzz. A part of me wanted to answer so badly, but I couldn't because I knew that if she said anything lovey dovey I would fall all over again.
Shannon saw me hesitating to answer my phone. She looked down into my lap and saw the caller ID. After a couple seconds it stopes buzzing but not to long after it began all over again. Shannon swooped the phone out of my lap and answered it.
"Hello Alex's phone" Shannon said in cutest voice anyone could ever make.
"Um can I speak with Alex it's urgent?" Kristen said sounding desperate.
Shannon looked over at me. Asking me with through face expression what I wanted her to do.
"Put it on speaker" I whispered
"Hayo Alex here. Who is this?" I asked fully aware of who it was.
"Hay babe it's Kristen." Kristen said      flirtatiously. The words hay babe made me cringe with pain.
"What do you want?" I asked as I looked at Shannon. I could tell she was a bit upset.
"Well someone's a little grumpy. I was wondering if you can come over. I miss you." Kristen said still flirting with me.
Shannon paid attention to what I was gonna say next.
"Kristen it's been six months. We haven't spoken since then."
"I thought we were just on a break. I didn't mean to hurt you...please come back to me...my body needs you Alex."
And that's when I realized I was just a boody call. This made me mad.
"Oh so that's why you called. Wow. This is so typical of you," but this point I was shouting at my phone. I took the phone out of Shannon's hands and put it closer to my face," I'm not just someone you can pick up whenever you want Kristen." I was so upset I began to shake. I lectured Kristen for about ten minutes then decided it wasn't forth my energy and hung up.
Shannon was shocked by the way I reacted. Trying to control my anger I began to speak calmly to Shannon.
"I'm sorry you got to see me this way. She just really pissed me off." 
"Hay don't apologize for that. Everything's okay. Since I like yo..." Shannon didn't realize what she almost admitted,"since I like the person you are I'll let it slide" she had fixed what she almost said.
My heart melted when she said she liked my personality. It meant a lot to me for her to say that.
I gently punched Shannon's arm and said," I like you too"
Shannon's face lit up with joy.
"Awww you do."
"Yah. I mean what isn't there to like"
"Awwwww" Shannon said as she reached for my hand. We tangled our fingers together and kept them that way for awhile.
"Alright alright. Enough with all this mushy love stuff." I ask sarcastically.
Shannon laughed. And I laughed along with her.
I couldn't help but question if what she almost said is what she actually met to say.
