"A," Shawn calls as we sit outside with Aaliyah.
"Yup,"
"Management want us to make travel videos for our covers. You up for it?"
"Of course, we can take a camera with us everywhere. It'll work,"
"Great," Shawn sends an email back quickly and then puts his laptop away as Karen and Manny return.
"Oh yeah, I also hired some jet skis." Shawn tells us and we decide to go ride them for the afternoon. Me and Shawn get on one together and I stand closest to the handles and he places his hands over mine on the handlebars only a few inches behind me. We get really good shots for the videos and I laze around in a flounce top bikini as everyone takes it in turns.
"Do you need anything?" A person who works at the hotel strides up to me as Shawn gets off one of the jet skis. He sees the guy and I envision Fuertuventura happening again.
"I think we're okay. Thank you very much though," I smile as Shawn walks closer and places a hand quickly on my shoulder as he walks past to get a towel. The guy's face drops and he walks off. Oh well.
"I dare you to jump off the end of the quay," Shawn says as he dries himself off. "It's safe, I checked."
"Fine," I reply and he gets the camera out. I stand over the edge and jump off the platform over the water and into the ocean. The liquid is cold against my body as I swim back up and push my hair out my face and wipe my eyes. I walk back up the steps and Shawn stands at the top with a towel which I grab and wrap around myself.
"Your turn,"
"Seriously? A you know I can't in deep water like that,"
"Yes Shawn, I think you should do it." Aaliyah walks over.
"We'll do it with you too, it's not that deep Shawn and you literally just have to walk to the steps then."
He sighs and stands over edge. Me and Aaliyah walk either side of him and I gently squeeze his hand.
"You got this Shawn," I whisper as Aaliyah counts down and we jump. We resurface and I quickly kiss Shawn and hold onto his hand to soothe his nerves. Aaliyah is first up the steps and hands is towels.
"Wanna go to the beach, Mom and Dad have?" She asks, a towel hanging over her arm.
"Let's do it," Shawn replies as we stroll down the quay together. He slows down behind us all of a sudden as me and Aaliyah continue to walk. He soon catches up and is staring at his phone.
"What are you doing Mendes?"
"Stuff," He shows me a picture of me and Aaliyah walking down the quay on his Instagram. The caption reads; "This is the best vacation ever @arabellaswift @aaliyahmendes" (All usernames made up).
"That's cute," I smile and leap onto his back as we go the final stretch to the beach.
"You're cute," Shawn replies as he reaches for my legs that are wrapped around his torso.
"Hurry up lovebirds!" Aaliyah yells and Shawn begins to run. I squeal and squeeze onto his shoulders.
"Look at you two," Karen sighs as Shawn slows down when we reach them.
Later on, me and Shawn sit outside, alone. "Shawn?" I ask as I lie next to him.
"Yeah gorgeous," He kisses my forehead and pulls me closer into his arms.
"You know when we first got together, did you think I was your type?"
"I don't know, I've always loved girls that look like you but there was so much I didn't know about you. Why were you wondering?"
"I guess I'd never even thought of it. In interviews you were forever going on about dancers and that-"
"But I love you A, more than any other dancer in the world right now. Aren't you trained on dance too though," He says and pecks my lips.
"I love you too, and yes I'm trained on contemporary and ballet." I look up at him as he uses one hand to hold onto my cheek as he plants a lingering kiss on my lips. He runs his thumb over my cheek gently and pecks my nose. I lie back down and rest my head on his chest and he puts his arms round my waist. I feel the rays of the sun warming me and I begin to feel sleepy, I drift off in my boyfriends arms.
Shawn's POV:
I look down at A after a while and see her sleeping silently. I kiss her temple as I get up and place a towel round her lower body whilst I get a drink.
"Shawn! It's only us!" My Mom calls as she knocks on the door.
"It's open," I call back and she and my Dad walk in.
"Aaliyah's asleep, where's A?" My Dad asks as I offer them drinks.
"Asleep," I reply and we walk outside to the table on the patio area.
"Y'know Shawn you're very lucky. Having someone as faithful and willing as Arri is hard to find, she's absolutely breathtaking too;" My Mom sighs as I look round my shoulder to check on her.
"I know,"
"Don't we all," Dad smiles at me genuinely. We talk for a while as Arri and Aaliyah sleep and I begin to relax more and more, in brilliant company.
I hear stirring from A after a few moments as she sits up and looks round.
"We weren't talking too loud were we?" Mom asks as Arri walks over.
"No, no. I'm fine," She runs a hand through her hair and pulls a kaftan swim cover up over her head, hiding her toned stomach. She walks into the kitchen area and grabs a can of Diet Coke before sitting down with us. She chats contently with my parents as I just chip in occasionally.
"So what do we want to do for dinner tonight?"
"There was that nice restaurant on the quay?"
"Awesome let's do it,"
Arri's POV:
Shawn's parents leave after a while and we begin to get ready for dinner, as I peel off my swim cover up Shawn places his hands round my waist.
"Do you know how toned your stomach is?" He traces his hands over the impressions of my side muscles.
"There are girls with better abs," I sigh and Shawn continues to caress my stomach. "We look like we're having a baby," He laughs and let's go.
"That's true gorgeous," He states and goes to the bathroom. I change quickly into wide leg fabric shorts and a high neck crop top. I get into some sandals and wait for Shawn.
"Got everything?" I check and Shawn nods.
"Cool, let's go." I reply as he places an arm round my waist as we stroll to Karen and Manny's room about 25m away. We head to the restaurant together and enjoy our evening in paradise.
