That's What I Thought | s.m

Chapter Nineteen

Melody Reagan.

"You're not going back to your apartment. no offense but it's a state," Shawn told me as we were getting ready to leave the hospital. I'd been cleared to go home as long as I took extra care when running, and walking up the stairs, etc. I'd been given a prescription, and pills to help me sleep, as the pain was likely to keep me up at night.

"I know, but i have no where else to go," i chuckled, swinging my bag over my shoulder and fixing my hair.

"Yes you do." he stated, "You can live with me,"

"You live alone?" i asked, walking over to him with a confused look. i always thought he'd be living with Brian or Ian, or somebody at least.

"Yeah, but it's okay i guess, it's peaceful," he shrugged, extending his hand for me to take

Taking it i smiled at him, "Well if you're sure-" i started but he cut me off

"I'm more than sure," he smiled back

"Then yes, i would love to live with you," gasping as he lifted me and spun me around i giggled before the pain sprouted up my leg

"Shawn, my legs," i giggled, trying to cover the pain

"Oh shit, sorry," he immediately put me down and examined me to see if i was okay as i smiled widely at him

"I'm okay, don't worry," i smiled, placing a quick kiss on his cheek

"Are you sure?" he pressed

"Positive." i nodded, taking his hand in mine and pulling him out of the hospital room

"Miss. Reagan!" the nurse shouted as we were about to step into the elevator. She was slightly older than us but still looked young as she was sprinting down the corridor to get to me

"Yeah?" i turned to look at her as she came towards me

"Don't forget your prescription," she breathed, handing me the container

"Oh my goodness, thank you!" i said relieved. I can't believe i forgot them, how stupid can i be?

"Don't mention it, by the way, you guys are a really cute couple," she smiled before walking away with her clipboard in hand

"I like her," Shawn smirked

"Shut up," i laughed, hitting his chest lightly and stepping into the elevator

"Ouch." he said, placing a hand on the place where i slapped him with a hurt expression on his face

"Grow a pair, Mendes," i smirked back and pressed the ground floor button as the doors closed

"I don't need to grow something i already have hun,"

Scoffing, i walked out of the elevator and out of the hospital doors with Shawn on my trail. Catching up to me he pulled my waist to his side and we walked the rest of the way to his car.

"What's your house like? is it big?" i questioned as we were packing some things from my apartment into a few bags to take to Shawn's. The place had been cleaned since the last time i saw it, and the photo of my parents and I had been placed in a new frame. They were still alive, and had been selfish enough to leave me with nothing but the thought that they were dead. i owed them nothing.

"It's big enough i guess, it's a large house for one person," he shrugged, grabbing a couple of my bags and placing them on the counter

"Hmm," i pondered, "Is it pretty? or does it need a ladies touch?" i smirked, looking over at him

"I have a maid, so it's pretty neat if you ask me," he laughed as i stared at him dumbfounded

"So it's 'big enough' that you need a maid?" placing a hand on my hip i continued to stare at him

"Yeah," he chuckled

"Wow." i laughed back, placing the last book into my bag and zipping it up, "Okay, that's the last one," i chirped

"Alright, let's go," he smiled, grabbing the bags from the counter, opening the door and heading down the stairs. Grabbing my last couple of bags, i turned to look at my apartment one last time.

"Good-fucking-bye," i spat, closing the door and locking it, i then made my way downstairs to meet Shawn. Placing my bags in the boot, i hopped into the passenger side beside him as he began to drive to his house. I was nervous, i had to admit it, sharing a house with a guy that basically tried to kill me, then confessed his love for me, is a bit worrying. But i know he means good, if this is his way of trying to say sorry, i wasn't complaining. Although i wasn't sure what we were, i knew we were in love, and that was enough for me.

"We're here hun," Shawn said softly, as we rolled up the driveway of his house. Fluttering my eyes open, i took in my surroundings.

"Wow." i stated, mouth agape as i stared at the beautiful sight in front of me. The house was massive, the garden was full of beautiful flowers, roses, daisies, lilacs and periwinkles, it was stunning. The red bricked house stood out from the rest, it was unique and original, each house had at least an couple of acres of land for both the front and back garden separately, it was a dream house. A full length pool in the back garden along with a barbecue and bar.

"So much for 'big enough'." i managed to choke out

"Shall we?" he chuckled, gesturing towards the front door as he grabbed my bags

"We definitely shall." i stated, still astounded by the house.

Let's hope the inside was just as beautiful as the outside.

Opening the front door, Shawn placed my bags down in the hallway as i stood wide eyed at the beautiful sight before me. The house was gigantic, chandeliers in each room, along with a large one for the entrance, there had to be about forty rooms, how does he afford this? After looking at every room, admiring their beauty, i maneuvered my way back to Shawn and stood with my arms crossed.

"'it's big enough'," i mocked him from earlier gesturing speech marks with my fingers, "this is literally my dream home."

"It's okay i guess, but it gets lonely sometimes," he shrugged.

"You won't be lonely anymore," i smiled at him, "I'm here now,"

"You don't know how much i want to kiss you right now," he stated, looking into my eyes

"What's holding you back?" i smirked, and with that i connected our lips in a blissful but passionate kiss.

I guess this is what it's like to be in love. You want to give them your everything, and hoping they do the same in return is all you could ever want.

I am totally and undoubtedly in love with Shawn Mendes.
