06 | secret spot

Madisons POV

*at lunch*

"Heyy Mads" Hannah said as she took a seat next to me.

"Hi Han" I greeted her smiling.

"Ohh someones happy. How can you be though. I mean we're at school" she said, resting her head on her hand while poking her salad with a fork.

"What do you mean? I'm always in a good mood." I said, still smiling"

"Ha ha. Not true." she looked at me with that really nigga look.

"Shawn and I are gonna hang out today." I told her.

"Whaaaaat?" She said, almost choking on her salad. "Like a date type of thing?"

"What? Nooo. We're just gonna get some FroYo. As Friends!" I stated.

"Mhm.. Yeah sure." She said with a smirk on her face.

"Oh shut up" I laughed pushing her away.

"Oh c'mon. Don't you have feelings for him?" Hannah asked.

"That's the thing. I don't know. I mean I guess I do, but I don't wanna let my feelings for him get in the way of our friendship."

"Yeah I get that, but what if he feels the same way?"

"Yeah no. I'm sure e doesn't" I said laughing at myself.
I wish he did though.

{skipping school bc I'm lazy and that would be boring}

The bell rang and school was finally over for me. Shawn and I were meeting up at the school parking lot, so I made my way over there. When I got there, he was already leaning at the side of his black jeep waving at me. I walked up to him and we both got in.

On our way there we just talked about school and complained about how the teachers give us way too much homework these days. It was nice having something to talk about that we could both relate to in the same way. Even though it was just school.

"Actually, do you mind if we go somewhere else instead of thr froyo place?" He suddenly asked me.

"Where are you planning on taking me Mendes?" I asked and we both laughed.

"Don't worry. You'll know it soon enough." He said as we stared into each others eyes, until I broke the silence.

"Alright. Take me there!"

We soon got somewhere that was pretty familiar to me. The woods near our neighborhood. We used to always go here together. But why did Shawn take me here?

"We're here" He said as he pulled out the keys and we both got out of the car.

"You brought me into the middle of the woods? Kinda sketchy Mendes" I said smirking at him.

"Not just any woods Madison. Don't tell me you don't remember?" He said rolling his eyes.

"What?" I asked, giving him a confused look.

"C'mon" He grabbed my hand and started pulling me through the woods down a little pathway next to a creek.

We stopped and I was already out of breath, since we just started running by surprise.

"See..?" He pointed up at a treehouse that was infront of us.

"Our treehouse" I said completely shocked. "Oh my gosh Shawn it's our secret spot." I said with excitement.

"Yeah" he said chuckling.

"I didn't forget about it I swear." I said throwing my hands up in defense.

"Suuuure you didn't" He said laughing.

"Let's go." I said as I made my way to the little ladder that lead up to the treehouse.

Once we got up there, I sat down next to Shawn on the little bench that was attached to the wall and looked out the window. That moment right there, brought back so many memories.

Shawns POV

I just watched her as she looked out the window. It was just like how it used to be. Us sitting in the treehouse and her always enjoying the view. I couldn't stop staring at her beautiful face.
She looked back into my eyes and we just stared at each other for a moment. I grabbed a piece of her dark blonde hair and tucked it behind her ear, leaving my hand on her warm cheek.

I slowly took my hand back down and with that, kind of destroyed the moment. We both looked down at our feet, feeling a little awkward.

"Shawn I.. I have feelings for you" She blurted out, her cheecks turning a light shade of red.

I didn't see this coming. But I felt the same about her. I've just been too afraid to tell her.
It was silent.

"Oh forget it.. I shouldn't have said that" she said as she got up.

"No..Mads.." I said pulling her back down by her hand.

"I feel exactly the same way" I said, cupping her face.

We both leaned in and I crashed my lips onto hers. She kissed back. Our lips were in perfect sinc. I can't describe what I felt in that moment. It was like everything just happened at once. This was what we both wanted.

Our lips parted and we leaned our foreheads against each other, looking intl each others eyes.
She chuckled. Gosh that little laugh. It brought a huge smile to my face.

We got up and headed to the ladder. Once I was back down, I held out my hand for her.

"Thanks" She said as she wiped some dirt off of her jeans.

We got back into my car and I drove her back home.
I parked in her driveway and opened the door for her, taking her hand to help her out.

"Thank you" she said blushing. She was wearing my navy blue sweater that I gave to her when she got cold. It looked so nice and cozy on her.

"Tonight was nice" I said with my hands in my pockets as we walked to her front door.

"Yeah, it really was" she replied, smiling up at me.

"Good night Mads"

"Good night Shawn " she said back.

And with that, I got in my car and drove down the street to my house.
