three days

ten

i leave my towel on a folding chair, seeing shawn do the same. gracefully making my way towards the pool, i dip my feet in, hanging on the side. the sun had settled and it seemed as if we were night swimming. my pool glowed like the northern lights, it was quiet; calm. is this really my fate?

was i destined to be here alone? receiving a new guy every three days only to have them disappear? someone has to be holding me hostage, by whatever supernatural magic they have. snapping out of my thoughts as i stared at the lights underwater, i look up to see shawn shirtless. he had black swim trunks on that held up right above his happy trail.

i gulped, oh my.

"how's the view?"

i blink momentarily, feeling myself blush again, stop oogling him! he chuckles, taking a seat next to me while dipping his feet in. i roll my eyes, my cheeks still burning.

"oh, shut it."

something felt different about him, it could just be my mind playing tricks. but i'm not going to give up that easily. swaying my feet back forth slowly, i create waves as does shawn.

"what's your last name?"

"mendes."

i nod, shawn mendes huh?

"your name seems like it could be on billboards."

honestly replying to him, he smiles.

"i'll take that as a compliment, do you remember yours?"

shaking my head, everything's still gone.

"i only remember that memory of me as a child with my two parents."

i murmur, a few minutes pass of a comforting silence before i decide to push shawn into the pool.

"sh-WHA!"

i begin laughing hard as he swims up to the surface, his hair wet. he pushes his locks back making him seem all the more attractive, why am i regretting pushing him in now? maybe because you just made him a hot wet mess. his eyes sparkle a devilish scheme, he grabs my foot, dragging me in. i widen my eyes before holding my breath, you asked for it zelly.

i swim quickly to the less deeper side, so i can find a balance. swimming up to the surface, i take in heaps of air, my lungs regaining strength.

"you're such an ass."

my teeth chatter as i talk, the water freezing cold. shawn swims over graciously, noticing my shivering, he pushes my hair back. his hands were slightly cold which made me flinch, i can tell that he sees little scars on my back from a few nights before. i pull away quickly before he can feel more pity for me.

"hey, come here."

his voice is gentle, i stay shivering in the water just up above my chest. i hear the water sloshing around, feeling muscular arms wrap around my waist. i jump in fright, he's really warm. he was so tall compared to me, the water only reached his abdomen. i hug him back, reveling in his delicate touch, he warmed me up.

i stopped shivering as he held onto me, he's such a hugger.

"you hug me a lot."

i say against his chest, my cheeks were flattened against his muscles. he looked down to my face, a big smile forming.

"that's because you deserve to have someone helping you hold it together when you feel like you're falling apart."

he really cares, my heart beat slightly picks up in response.

"and also because you're a small, adorable, little critter."

he pokes my nose teasingly, i growl, biting his finger. he winces out loudly.

"oW!"

before he can pull away, i let go of my painful chomp, and instead began sucking lightly. my tongue going around the tip of his finger, his eyes widen with my sudden change.

"woah,"

i bob up and down slowly, only a few times, before letting his finger go. he looks at me slightly dazed.

"where the hell did that come from?"

i shrug shyly, i honestly don't know.

"guess i felt bad that i bit you, feel better?"

"much. remind me to tease you more often."

my cheeks burn at his comment, i realize he has a boner peeping out of his trunks because of my thigh moving against him. his breath hitches to the back of his throat.

"not a good idea to do that right now, zelly."

his voice is deranged, holding back. my heart didn't just pick up speed, it was running a mile right now. we lock gazes, his eyes falling to my lips, mine fell on his as well. slowly but surely, i close my eyes, there i felt a soft pair of lips on mine. molding to my own, he moved sweetly against my mouth, i feel myself grow more attached to him.

and not just because i physically was, but beacause of how well he treats me; how much he cares. my hands find their way to his biceps, our kiss had gotten a bit more intense, his tongue slipping into mine. my lower area clenched in frustration, this boy has moves! i yelp in excitement, he smiles against my lips since he knows damn well his effect on me. his large hands go under both my thighs, he hoists me up while i naturally wrap my legs around his torso.

he held me up no problem, my arms around his neck, i pulled him closer than ever before. feeling almost breathless, we keep the kiss going as he makes his way out of the pool. even if we both were soaking wet, he didn't give a single fuck taking us both upstairs. in my head i'm slightly scared he'll drop me and slip, but of course he doesn't. my hands tug gently on his hair, earning a groan to escape his lips.

it was my turn to smile into the kiss, i pull away, he doesn't want me to. his two front teeth biting my bottom lip while i pulled away, holy shit. we both were panting and turned on, he stares at me in the eye. his cheeks slightly red from the passion we had just shared, my cheeks probably were tomatoes. he lets me drop to the ground, i stand up straight, his fingers pushing a loose hair strand behind my ear.

we didn't say anything to each other, until he broke the silence.

"god, you are everything to me, zelly."

my heart flutters at his choice of words, the water from our hair still dripping onto the ground.

"i believe the same about you to me, shawn."

i think i really am falling for this guy. there is much more to know of him, but as of now, he has gotten me in a whole damn trance! he cracks a small smile, grabbing my hand and pulling me toward him for another quick kiss. i laugh into it, his arms sweep me off the ground, and carry me to my bathroom to wash up. i pray to god this lasts, he will be okay.

he has to be...

because he's all i have.
