Shawn's POV:
Ariana was trying her best to comfort me and make me think positive about tonight, but for some reason i couldn't. what if her family completely hates me? what if they don't approve of us? i'm overthinking. bad habit of mine.
we pulled up at her aunts house and i noticed cars parked everywhere. she must have a lot of family around here?
i got out of my car and ran to ariana's side to open the door for her.
"thank you baby." she smiled and stepped out while holding my hand.
she grabbed my hand, holding it tightly as we walked to the front door. she opened it up, and i heard tons of talking.
"ariana!!" i heard a woman yell.
"hi aunt jess!" she said back and hugged the woman.
tons of other people came up to her, as i stood there awkwardly.
"and who might this be?" her aunt jess asked and pointed at me.
ariana turned around and smiled at me.
"well guys, this is my boyfriend! his names shawn." she said and looked over at them.
"little ari is growing up! oh my goodness someone get me an ambulance!" an older woman said.
i smiled lightly.
"well shawn, this is my aunt jess." she said introducing me to her.
"so nice to meet you." i said as i shook the woman's hand.
"you too!" she smiled.
ok, everything seems fine so far.
ariana introduced me to everyone else, and it's really not as bad as she made it out to be at first. just A LOT of women!
everyone headed to the backyard, where i saw some guys standing around a fire pit. this might be where it gets a little more intimidating.
"oh, shawn! let's introduce you to everyone else." she said and pulled me over to more people.
"shawn, this is my cousin kian." she said and smiled.
(not kian lawley, but if that's who you imagine him to be, then let yourself imagine that!)
he looked over at me. he was tall, probably as tall as me. he was skinny, had a small amount of muscle on him, but definitely wasn't someone i'd fuck with.
"nice to meet you shawn." he said and reached for my hand.
"you too." i said back.
"so what exactly is shawn to you? friend? best friend? boyfriend? fuck buddy?" he whispered the last part.
i held in my laughter as much as possible.
"shut the fuck up!" she said and slapped his arm.
"i was curious ok!? but seriously, what is he to you?" he asked.
she looked over at me and grabbed my hand.
"beloved boyfriend, kian." she said and stuck her tongue out at me.
"better keep your little hormonal 15 year old cousins away from him then." he said.
Ariana's POV:
"dude i completely forgot about those assholes, where are they?!" i laughed.
those girls were nothing but trouble, but i love them with my entire heart.
"i think they're in jess's lounge." he said pointing at the house.
"ok, i'm gonna go find them! see ya!" i said and pulled shawn into the house.
just as we were about to walk into the lounge, i pulled shawn into the bathroom.
"woah what are you doing?" he asked with a nervous laugh.
"i'm gonna warn you about my cousins. when we go in there, they're gonna see you and start drooling. they'll say inappropriate shit, not necessarily about you, but they'll say whatever they want. don't be freaked out by them, they're just wild little girls." i said and looked straight into his eyes.
there it is.
that feeling.
that feeling i get every time i look into his beautiful brown eyes. every damn time.
