Lunar Eclipse

Compromise

I wake up to Shawn shaking me. "Wake up sleepy head, we gotta go!"

"5 more minutes," I grumble pulling the blanket over my head.

"No, now!" he shouts. He then pulls the blanket completely off.

"Fine. I'm up. Happy?"

"Yes, very." He then kisses me but I'm still mad at him. I look at my phone to see that it's only 7:00 am. Training doesn't start till 9:00 am.

"Shawn Mendes! I'm going to kill you!" I lunge at him but he swiftly moves out of the way and is running downstairs.

"You'll have to catch me first," he sings as he runs. I chase him all around the house till I get tired.

"I'm too tired, I give up."

"Really?" he asks, his eyes cautious and playful.

"Yes, now go get me food," I say heading towards the kitchen.

"What do you want?"

"Anything." He goes into the fridge and grabs eggs and bacon. He cooks it and then places it in front of me.

"There, are we even?" he asks.

"Yeah, yeah." I dig in, not aware how hungry I was. Then there's a knock on the door. Shawn opens it and there is Lyla.

"Okay so what are we going to do today?" she asks. I stare at her confused.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Well we haven't hung out in a while so I thought today would be a good day."

"I already have plans," I say.

"Hanging out with Shawn all day like normal isn't plans."

"I was actually going over to Griff's, if you must know," I lie.

"Oh. Okay, maybe another time." She leaves upset. At least the part about hanging with Griff isn't technically a lie.

I get into Shawn's car and he drives to the field again. Lake has me spread my scent around on the trees, bush and field. I poke my finger and place some of blood on them.

"That's great Kaitlyn, the newborns will be going crazy by time they get here." I hug him and then I go back to sitting with Shawn.

"Griff is going to carry you up the mountain tomorrow. The newborns won't want to go near his scent." I nod my head.

"I take offence to that," Griff chimes in. Shawn rolls his eyes.

"Okay, that sounds fine," I say. Then Griff leaves to go spar with Rachel.

Lake had the training go on till about 5 and I was starving. I get into Shawn's car and my stomach growls.

"Someone's hungry," he says as he drives off. I nod my head and he grins. "Let's head over to Georgie's. She said she stocked the fridge."

"She didn't have to do that," I say.

"She wanted to," he says. He doesn't drive that far from the field and then he turns onto a paved driveway. When he pulls up, I see that the house is roughly the same size as mine. It's light blue with a white roof.

I get out and we head inside. Immediately, we are in the living room. Shawn walks around and finds the kitchen. "Ah ha, found the food," he calls to me. I follow his voice to see a small kitchen, smaller than mine.

"What do you want for dinner love?"

"Whatever you make," I answer.

"How about grilled cheese?" he asks and I nod my head. Shawn gets the bread, cheese and butter out.

"You know, this house is amazing," I say to Shawn.

"Really? You want a house like this?" he asks me.

"Yeah, it's just the perfect size considering it would only be the two of us," I tell him. He smiles as he puts the sandwich in the pan.

"I really wish I wasn't a vampire," he says.

"Oh yeah, and why?"

"Because I always imagined I would have kids," he says. I never thought about that.

"We could always adopt," I say and that makes him smile. He flips my sandwich.

"But it's still not the same, just imagine a little boy with your bright green eyes and my brown hair." That would be wonderful. Shawn then puts the sandwich on a plate and places it in front of me. I take a bite.

"That would be great but as long as I have you, that's all that matters," I tell him honestly.

"That is very true." He walks over to me and kisses the top of my head. I finish my sandwich and we go to the living room and watch tv.

We watch until 9 and then we head up to the guest room. I decided I would make a compromise with Shawn.

"Shawn, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, you can ask me anything," he tells me, looking directly into my eyes.

"Well, I was thinking," I begin.

"Go on."

"I think it's better if I show you." He looks at me confused. I grab his face and I kiss him, deepening it after every breath.

"Kaitlyn, we shouldn't," he says and I stop kissing him.

"You don't want to sleep with me?" I ask, tears in my eyes.

"Oh trust me, I want to have sex with you."

"Then why not?"

"I don't want to hurt you, if I lose control like that, I could accidentally kill you."

"Try, please, you can buy us any house you want and we can live wherever you want, just try," I beg.

"Anywhere I want, and any house?"

"Yes," I say kissing him again but he pulls away.

"Fine. But not tonight alright, during our honeymoon okay." I smile at him.

"That's acceptable." He smiles and kisses me.

I go and I change into my pyjamas. I go back into the room and I flop onto it. I cuddle up against Shawn and I fall asleep with a huge smile on my face.
