Mr. Mendes

Confessions.

Lexi.

"Alexis are you almost ready sweetie?" I heard my mom say as she knocked on the door.

"Yeah I'm coming right now," I said as I zipped up my suitcase.

"Okay I'll be in downstairs when you're ready," she said and I could hear her walking away.

I grabbed my phone and slipped it into my pocket as I closed the door behind me. As I made my way downstairs I saw Mr. Mendes and my dad talking.

Although Mr. Mendes and my dad are friends, I still found it weird that they were always talking. Also the fact that my parents are letting me go on this four day trip with my teacher alone.

"Ah Alexis are you ready for your trip?" My dad said with a smile and gave me a small hug.

"Alexis," Mr. Mendes said with a nod and I just smiled.

"Mr. Mendes," I replied and he smiled.

"Oh come on now don't be silly you can call him Shawn after all he's like family!" My dad said excitedly and I laughed a little bit.

"Right okay, well you guys should get going and this extra credit better be worth it," my mom said while shooing Shawn and I out of the house.

They basically closed the door on us and I was only left with the choice of looking awkwardly at Shawn.

"Well that was fun," he said with a shy smiled while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Really was," I said with a small laugh.

"We should get going I guess," he said and I just nodded without saying anything.

He started walking to his car and I just slowly followed behind him. His car was a big black jeep which, to be completely honest, not a lot of people drive around here.

I put my stuff into the back where his was, and got into the seat next to him.

"Better buckle up, it's going to be awhile until we get to the airport," he said with the usual smile he would give me and I did what he said.

I kept my head straight and just focused on the road. Not only was this going to be a long drive, but it's going to be a fucking long flight.

The trip was all the way in London. I guess there was a museum called, Natural History Museum. Shawn said it revolved around the curriculum we were learning which is, you guessed it, history.

Also the reason why I hoped this trip would go by fast is because it's only Shawn and I. Yeah that's right, only me and him alone.

"Alexis?" I heard his angelic voice chime in and I was quickly brought back to life.

"Oh sorry. Yes Shawn?" I said wit a small smile and looked down at my hands.

"I told you I broke up with Justine," he said and my jaw dropped.

"Oh I'm so sorry," I said sympathetically and he just shook his head with a small chuckle.

"You know you don't have to apologize for everything Lex," he said and I smiled.

"Right um sorry," I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Force of habit," I said and he laughed.

Wow his laugh is so fucking attractive.

"So what happened...if you don't mind me asking," I said and he shook his head.

"It's no big deal in my opinion. Even though we were dating for almost two years I guess I just wasn't enough for her, so she decided to cheat for the past couple of months," he said and I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"I bet that's total bullshit. Sorry for my language but it really sounds like it. Any girl is lucky to have you in their lives Shawn," I said and he smiled.

"Yeah well she wanted what I didn't want to give to her," he said and I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I said and he shook his head.

"It's nothing you wouldn't want to know anyway," he said and I nodded.

"No, I-I wanna k-know," I stuttered and he laughed.

The car came to a halt when we finally reached the airport, and he turned off the car.

Well what do you know that car ride was short.

"It's because I didn't have sex with her," he said and looked my dead in the eye.

"Seriously?" I said while my jaw dropped.

"Yeah I mean I always told her I wanted to wait until I knew I was absolutely in love with the person, which frankly I'm glad was never her," he said with a smile.

"Well that, my friend, is one dumb bitch for doing something like that to you for that kind of a reason," I said and he laughed.

"I guess but I never loved her, and besides, I think I'm in love with someone else," he said and looked down at his hands.

"And who would that be?" I questioned and he smiled while looking up at me.

"You."
