"Wake up gorgeous," I hear Shawn's voice as he shakes me ever so slightly. My eyes flutter open and I look round our room that's still dark as I sit up.
"I'm just gonna get Aaliyah up, I'll be back in a second hun," Shawn gets up and walks to the spare room quietly. Today we're going on holiday and Aaliyah had wanted to fly with us so she came to stay a couple days before. Karen and Manny flying in now, commercially, and then jetting out with us.
Shawn walks back in as I put on my glasses and get up and begin to make the bed. "Merry belated Christmas," He sighs and kisses me quickly as I smile.
"Thank you," I reply groggily as I change into comfy shorts and a t-shirt. "Ha, all my hoodies are on the bus." I remark as I realise my stupidity.
"You can be really dumb A, you know?" He passes me a iHeart Radio zip through hoodie that I throw on and grab some shoes before heading into the kitchen.
Aaliyah enters after a few minutes and pours out some cereal. "Man it's early," She sighs and looks at the clock that reads 1am.
"Tell me about it," I sit down next to her as Shawn walks in and sits down next to us.
We get into a taxi to get to the airport so we could leave the cars and tiredly we all aim to stay awake. We get there and lucky for us our luggage went straight onto the jet which we boarded quickly. "Can I know where we're going yet?" I ask as Shawn pulls me closer to him whilst I get comfortable.
"Nope beautiful, not yet."
"I hate you,"
"Love you too babe," He grins and I sigh but move closer to him and get ready to sleep.
Shawn's POV:
I tell the girls to sleep and I would wait through this flight to collect my parents. So, I sit with A resting against me and a coffee to hand sorting out paperwork. A stirs slightly as we begin to land and slowly wakes up, still tired. Aaliyah is gone for the world and I leave her that way.
"Are we in Canada?" A asks groggily and I chuckle and kiss her lightly.
"Yeah sleepy, now go back to bed." I press another kiss to her forehead as I get up to go get my parents.
"This is posh," My Mom breathes out as she gets on the jet, she then stares at the two bundles of blankets that cover A and Aaliyah. "Look at these two,"
"This is a regular occasion," I sigh as I get out my laptop and sit down next to A. We take off and our vacation begins.
Arri's POV:
I sit cross legged as Shawn sleeps against me, I read my book to the sounds of his heavy breathing. We begin to land so I start to shake him awake slightly.
"Shawn, we're nearly here. Or wherever you've brought us," He mumbles something inaudibly but opens his eyes and gets ready to leave.
We get out of the jet to a warm and slightly tropical feeling climate.
"Okay Shawn, all of us here love you but if you don't tell us where on earth we are I think we're going to punch you in the face," Aaliyah tells him as we get into a car.
"Fine then, welcome to the Seychelles." S***. S***. S***.
"Shawn Mendes you never ever spend this much money on a holiday again!" Karen scolds and Manny chuckles.
"If it's free I'm all for it,"
"If it means he's gonna go bankrupt and end up living with me I'm not," Me and Aaliyah laugh at Karen's opinion as Shawn rolls his eyes.
"Thankfully, I work in a business that has high pay. I think I'll be just fine,"
"As long as it doesn't get to your head," Manny sighs as we pull up at what seems like a hotel. We get shown straight to our rooms and as Shawn's parents go to there's I look round ours.
"Do you like it?" Shawn's arms wrap around my waist as he kisses my cheek softly.
"Yeah," I reply as I look out over the pool then the beach, lying a short walk away.
"I'm very glad gorgeous," He says, the beat of his breath tickling the back of my ear. "Ready to swim yet, it's boiling?" He breaks our comfortable silence and I nod, walking over to our suitcases. I change into a patterned bandeau bikini and slide a cap over my head.
"A! Are you ready for us to crash your pool?" Aaliyah sticks her head round their balcony.
"Sure, whenever!" I grin at her and walk out with towels.
"You're in first," Shawn pokes my waist as he brings out the drinks that were left in the kitchen thing.
"You're such a little prick, do you realise?"
"You're so abusive. Do you realise?" With that he picks me up and walks to the pool and hovers me over it for a second whilst Shawn's family let themselves in them in one action he drops me into the cool water.
"You're horrible Shawn, go get Arri a towel." Karen sighs as I surface again.
"No, I'm alright thanks. Don't worry," I tell her as Aaliyah walks in with huge pool floaties.
"Shawn! Dad! Blow these up," She instructs as both Shawn and Manny roll their eyes. Aaliyah proceeds to then dive into the pool and we swim and chat together.
"What are we gonna do about dinner tonight?" Karen asks as I lie in a towel on a double sun bed next to Shawn who has his arm round me.
"I don't mind," Shawn responds as Aaliyah floats around on the inflatable watermelon in the water.
"I'm happy to get room service if you lot wanna go out as a family-" I begin but I'm cut off by Manny.
"No. That's not happening,"
We eventually decide to go out and I start to get changed as they leave.
"Are you sure you can't go out like that?" Shawn asks as he walks to the bathroom.
"No, dumbass." I sigh as he strolls back out the bathroom. I change into short bodycon dress and grab my sandals and sunglasses as Shawn finishes getting ready.
"Ready babe," He takes my hand as we walk outside to meet his parents at the restaurant. It was practically empty and the view is incredible. We sit down together and just enjoy the evening.
"We're gonna walk back on the beach," Shawn tells his parents as we get ready to leave.
He puts his arm round my shoulder as we walk along the sandy bay, my shoes dangling from my hand as I feel the small grains between my toes.
"I love you," Shawn states as we walk along the waters edge.
"I love you too," I reply as he pulls me closer and stops my small strides. His lips meet mine in a soft kiss as his hands cup my face and mine rest on his shoulders.
We pull away and walk back to the suite, the perfect day.
