Veronica.

I woke up to loud knocking on the door. I sat up quickly and nothing looked familiar. It took me a few minutes to really wake up and notice where I was. I rolled my eyes and opened the door to see a showered Shawn leaning against the doors archway.

"What do you want?" I asked still feeling sleepy.

He had that stupid smirk on his face, "Well good morning to you too you ray of sunshine, " he said sarcastically, "Today is the day we introduce you to the world. Now take a shower the artist will be here in an hour."

That was all he told me before he leaves downstairs. What? Why was he waking me up so early? Where is this all happening at? My head hurt too much for it being so damn early.

I closed the door and went to my bathroom. I started the shower and got out of my clothes. I hopped into the shower and scrubbed till I was clean then shaved. I got out and wrapped a towel around my body before walking to my closet.

I turned on the light to the big walk in closet. I walked over to where the drawers were and picked out my underclothes. I placed them on top of the dresser before moving to see what I was going to wear for the time being.

I was looking at all my clothes and realized I should just wear a silk robe or something. The artists and dressers will be here any minute just to make me change so what's the point?

"You should wear the red one...just saying." I heard his voice interrupt.

I jumped a little before hugging my towel closer to my body. I narrowed my eyes at the cocky little shit.

"Yeah well just cause you told me that I'll make sure to burn it later." I tell him before grabbing the black robe.

He rolled his eyes at my attitude, "Oh don't get your panties in a twist that was a compliment. You look like red is your color." He told me with that stupid smirk.

"One I'll make sure not to wear red..like ever. And two what are you even doing in my room? Ever heard of privacy?" I asked before moving past him.

As I was about to walk past him he trapped me between his arms and my back was against the wall. My breath hitched for he was awfully close and I was just in a towel. He just looked at me from top to bottom before chuckling.

"Don't think I forgot our deal sweetheart, I just wanted to see how you'd react." He told me before backing up and letting me go.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Well you'll never see me react to how close you are to me. You're not worth it sweetheart." I mimicked the way he said sweetheart.

I then walked out and back into my room with him following behind. We then heard the doorbell ring, signaling that the people were here. I smiled knowing he'd have to go answer it and I'd get changed.

"You should go get that." I say with a smirk on my face now.

He got closer to me but stopped a few inches from me and my smile didn't fall. He then left out of my room and down the stairs to answer the door. I quickly closed the door and then put on my underclothes and then my robe.
