Charlotte's POV
Cam and Nash were in town!
It was our longer weekend and Shawn and I were at his place with Aaliyah while his parents were out for a couple of hours when all of the sudden the door bell sounded and the two doofs stood there with huge smiles and their arms open.
"CASH IS IN THE HOUSE!" They yelled.
I looked at Shawn who just shrugged. Turning to the two guys in front of me, I'm swept up into a tight hug by one of them who swings me around. The moment my feet touch the ground, the other guy also has me swept up in a hug.
As soon as I'm secure on the ground, I walk to Shawn and stay by his side. To be honest, I'm quite overwhelmed by how they greeted me and how familiar they act around me.
"Is Jack here yet?" Nash asked, walking in with Cam following him.
"No." Shawn said, clearly confused. "Why would Jack be here?"
"Oh, didn't he tell you?" Nash asked, sitting down next to Aaliyah who was smiling at the doofus.
"Well, he's joining us here until Monday. Then we all leave." Cameron finished.
"Yeah, he wanted to meet the lovely Charlotte as well. And might I say, lovely she is indeed."
"Might I add, taken she is indeed." I mocked him.
Cameron started laughing. "Oh God, I love her already! You got a good one, Shawn."
"Don't I know it." Shawn said with a wink to me.
"Hey, Aaliyah." Cam said, sitting on the other side of her. "How are ya doing?"
"Hey, Cam." She said, not looking away from the TV where she was watching the CW network. "Great. What about you."
"Well, yo-"
"Shh!" She cut him off, looking at the screen, never once letting her eyes leave it.
Shawn, Nash and I had to keep our laughter in because Cam's face looked priceless when he was cut off by her. He looked so shocked by what she had done and how she had done it.
I burried my face is Shawn's chest to conceal my laughter because I couldn't keep it in but Nash just started full on laughing which did not amuse his friend whatsoever.
"Laugh it up, you three." He mocked.
The front door closed with a bang. "Sorry kids, my bad!" Karen shouted.
As the two- Karen and Manuel- walked in, they spotted the two guys but I only saw the many bags in their arms.
"Let me help you." I said, getting a couple of bags out of their arms. Shawn came to my side to help his parents as well but Cam and Nash just stayed with Aaliyah, now also engrossed in the serie on the screen.
"Thank you, dear." Manuel thanked me.
"No problem, Mr. Mendes." I said.
He sighed. "How many times do we have to repeat that it is Manuel or Manny to you?"
"Sorry, si- Manny."
A satisfied look came onto his face. "Better. Are you staying over for dinner?"
"I don't know, I'll ask my mother." I said. "It shouldn't be a problem, though. What are you making?"
"Karen is making chicken today." He emphasized on Karen.
"No, Manny, you're making it. We had this discussion on the store and I won. You're making dinner tonight." Karen butted in, walking back into the kitchen.
"I thought you were cooking tonight, Mom. You said you would yesterday." Shawn sat down at the counter, next to me.
"See, I told you so!"
"I'm pretty sure that Manny told her that he'd cook because she cooked yesterday." I said, remembering the talk that was around the table after dinner yesterday.
For the past week, since my date with Shawn, I'd been having dinner with the Mendes' but they didn't mind and neither did my parents, as long as they still had some time with me during the day or in the evening.
Mom and Dad were so happy for me. They were surprised when I admitted I was in love with Shawn but they fully supported me and my decissions regarding my relationship with him. All they ever wanted for me was to be happy as I was with Shawn.
Clarissa thought I was not sure of what I felt, that it was too soon for real love but she didn't feel what I felt so she wouldn't understand. Not to forget that she never knew real love, she has never truly been in love with someone. I don't believe she has.
Ollie is and always will stay Ollie. He acts as this overprotective brother but really, he's just happy for us. He was acting weird for a couple of hours before he gave up the act and just was normal and showed us he was truly happy for us. He's been in love once before and he lost it but I think that he wants me to have it as well because it taught him lessons.
I'm not one to say that a relationship will last forever, you never know what may happen. I might meet someone else one day or he might meet someone else one day and they'd fall in love and he'd leave me for her or I'd leave him for the other guy and we'd go our own ways but I do know that this love will have taught me something.
I'm not thinking about that too much because I love Shawn too much. Right now we're still in our honeymoon fase but that will be over soon and we'll start having to really work and fight for our relationship.
Our relationship will not be the easiest, we're both aware of that. We both have dreams and careers laying in our future. I want to become a published author and he wants to become a known singer. He's already starting his career as where I am still only writing on Wattpad but I don't mind because I like doing that. For now I'm fine with sharing my story like that with the world.
Shawn's career is already starting up and he's going on a world tour after school. As soon as he finishes high school, he's going to go and really start out his career. I have no idea what I'll be doing. Maybe I'll go to college, probably not. I'll most likely take my classes online because I can't go to college all the time.
Those two will be hard to juggle but I know that if Shawn's willing to fight for us, we may just survive this yet.
