Veronica.

A week passed on by and nothing had really happened. So Shawn got to sleep a little better and I wasn't as scared to be in the house. I went back to exercising every morning in Shawn's weight room.

I walked out and went to the kitchen to get a water bottle. I then took it back up to Shawn's room. We'd been sleeping in the same bed for the past week. I noticed that it eases Shawn's mind and helps him sleep better.

He was down in the music room so I went to use his bathroom. Shawn was actually really clean when it came to his room. I stripped out of my workout clothes and hopped into the shower.

Shawn and I had gotten close this past week. A little too close as well. I know I shouldn't get used to it because it'll be over. I would start school next spring when this deal is over and we'd go our separate ways.

I hated thinking about to being over but it was. He wanted to go back to his old life and I wasn't going to stop him. I shook my thoughts away not wanting to think about it.

I finished up washing my hair and shaving before I got out. I slipped on my laced underwear and matching bra before putting on some spandex and a sweater.

I then walk downstairs and to the music room. I heard the sound of his electric guitar being played. I opened the door and seen him with the guitar in his hands and a few papers in front of him.

When I walked in he looked up and smiled, "Hey."

"Hi, don't mind me I just came to check up on you." I smiled.

He laughed, "No actually I was getting entrapped by my thoughts and inspiration I didn't realize what time it was."

I walked over to him till I sat on his chairs arm rest, "Well whatever you were working on sounded amazing."

"Thanks Ace, so we have a family event to attend." He tells me as he sets down his guitar.

I ran my fingers through his fluffy brown hair, "Okay is it formal or casual?" I asked.

"Formal. It starts in three hours so we should probably go get ready." Shawn says looking up at me.

I nodded, "Okay."

I then got up and walked out of the room and into my old room. I hardly go in there but I needed a dress. I walked in and to the closet I decided on wearing this dark blue strapless dress. I took off my clothes and slipped on the dress, I matched it with some black pumps.

Once I was done getting dressed I got out of that room and went to Shawn's room. He let me put some of my makeup and hair stuff in his bathroom. So I went in and started my curling iron and waited for it to heat up.

Just then Shawn walked in and he must've took a shower in another room. He walked in with black slack and a black dress shirt that wasn't buttoned showing his chest. He was buttoning his cuffs of the shirt.

"God you look beautiful." He said.

I looked over at him through the mirror and felt my cheeks flare up. I looked down but couldn't help but smile.
