"Ready babe?" Shawn asked, looking at me from the drivers seat. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Yes." I simply answered. He flashed his beautiful smile at me while putting the car into reverse. He smoothly pulled ot of my parent's driveway.
Shawn and I are going on a trip to California for a few days for some time alone before he leaves for Magcon.
I put the radio on and 'All of Me' by John Legend danced lyrically around the car. I rested my head on the window and watched the light rain fall onto the road. Shawn's hand found my thigh and he rubbed circles with his thumb, soothing me.
He started to hum along to the song and my eyelids felt heavy.
"Give your aaaaaall to me, I'll give my aaaaaall to you. You're my end and my beginning. Even when I lose, I'm winning. 'Cause I give you aaaaall of me. And you give me aaaaaall of you..." Shawn sang lowly. My insides started to melt at his sweet voice.
"Shawn?" I asked, not looking away from the window.
"Yea?" he answered, and a smile played at his lips from the corner of my eye.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too, Maggie."
"This is our song." I said. He patted my thigh and I looked over at him.
"Yes, baby. It is. Whenever we're apart, just play this song and I'll be in your heart." He said. He always knows what to say to make my heart pound out of chest.
"I don't want to loose you." I said.
"And you never will. Now get some rest. We have a long ride." he said, looking over at me for a second.
Our song continued to play as I drifted to sleep.

"Maggie... Baby... Babe..... Maggie honey wake up. We're here." Shawn lightly shook me awake. I squinted at the blinding sunlight in my eyes. Shawn chuckled and took off his sunglasses to place them on me.
"Can you carry me?" I said, my voice still raspy from waking up. He smiled and kissed my forehead, scooping me up into his arms. I snuggled into his chest as he carried me inside the beach house he had rented.
He put me down and rested his head on shoulder, snaking his arms around my waist.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"Of course I do. It's so big, though. You didn't have to waste money like this, baby." I frowned, thinking about how much this must've cost him. He kissed my ear.
"Don't worry about that, baby. I don't care how much I spend, if I spend it making you happy." he said. I smiled and turned around, putting my arms around his neck.
"Maggie?" he whispered.
"Yes?"
"Will you dance with me, to our song, for the first time?" he asked. I smiled and kissed his lips.
"Of course.'' I said. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket and guided me over to the huge living room. There was a dock on a small table close to the sliding doors that led to the deck. He quickly put it on and returned to our previous position. He swayed us back and forth, stepping left, then back, then left again.
We let the music sweep us away, moving in sync. I looked straight into his brown eyes, him looking into mine. My feet felt light and my hips swayed with each step I took.
He kissed my nose and twirled my around, pulling me back in so that my back was pressed against his front. He put his chin on my shoulder as we swayed. I smiled and closed my eyes, taking in every moment of being in my boyfriend's arms.
Shawn turned my back around so that was facing him once again. his hands remained on my hips as the song began to fade. I wish it would play on forever.
"It's on repeat." he whispered, just as if he read mine. Just as Shawn said, the song started again. I smiled and we continued to dance, getting lost in each other's eyes. The sun was going down and the clock read 8:00. I rested my head on his chest and we continued to move together.
"Would you like to hit the beach for a walk before we unload the car? It's right behind the dunes so we could walk." he asked.
"Yea, sure. Just let me change." I said.
"i'll get your duffel." he said, turning the music off and jogging to his car. he soon returned with my bag. i thanked him and walked into the closest room I could find, which happened to be one of the smaller bedrooms. I quickly changed into a pair of jeans, a white- flowy tank-top, and a pair of sandals. I braided my hair to the side and returned to the living room.
"You look beautiful, baby." he smiled, offering his arm to me. I looped mine around his and we walked out of the house and down the sidewalk to the dunes.
"Look at the sunset." I said, looking up at the sky and taking a mental picture of the many colors that painted the sky, illuminating the streets. A small breeze hugged my body and goosebumps rose to the surface of my arms.
Shawn noticed.
"Do you want my sweater, Maggie?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine for now, thankyou." I smiled, kissing his cheek. He smiled back and we finally reached the shoreline and the water jumped onto my feet. I took my sandals off and hooked my finger around the straps to hold them. I then cuffed my jeans so they wouldn't get wet.
"I'm glad we got to do this before you leave." I stated as we strolled down the beach.
"Me too." he said. We continued to walk. Once we got a a far distnace ahead, we stopped to sit and watch the sun go down.
I leaned into Shawn and he pulled me closer. He leaned us ack so that we we're laying on the sand.
"I love you." he said. I smiled and kissed his hand, that tangled with mine.
"I love you too."
We continued to watch the sunset in silence.
"Let's get back to the house and watch a fee movies, yea?" Shawn suggested as we reached the dunes. I nodded and we walked back to the house. Shawn and I quickly grabbed out luggage from the car and brought it inside.
We left it in our bedroom for now. The room was huge, a king sized bed against the wall, covered in a powder blue comforter with matching blue and white pillows. A small white couch, a large tv, two dressers, two nightstands, a few plants and paintings, and a door to the bathroom an closets.
"It's huge." I said, flicking the light on. Shawn smiled at his success on finding the perfect place.
"What movies do you want to watch?" he asked.
"The notebook, the last song, Charlie St. Cloud, Safe Haven..." I said, flicking through the movies that were thrown into a suitcase. He groaned and I chuckled, putting the first disc in.
"I'm going to change and wash my face." I said, pulling pajamas out of the suitcase and my cosmetics bag out of another.
I walked into the bathroom and was taken back by the size. There was a tub, a shower, a long row of counter space with two sinks, a toilet, and a vanity. I placed my bag on the counter and my clothes on the lid of the toilet. I quickly changed and them burned my teeth. I then tied my hair back and washed my face.
When I went back to the room, Shawn was already laying down. I walked over to my side of the bed and snuggled into Shawn. My head rested on his chest.
"I love you, baby." he said, kissing my hair.
"I love you too, Shawn." I said, pressing play on the movie.
Soon after, we both fell asleep.
