Wrong Address ➳ S.M.

"Hi," I cleared my throat "Is um Shawn here?"

"That depends." She replied "Who's asking?"

"Look, I'm sorry if I'm interrupting I just need to return something to him that was put in my mailbox." I stated

the girl eyeballed me for a second, before closing the door and yelling out Shawn's name rather loudly I stood coldly on the other side of the door my attention focused on the floor beneath my feet I listened as the door was pulled back slowly and rather hesitantly. I shifted my attention upwards and I felt my body go numb as my eyes scanned over the features of the boy who now stood in my view he was attractive,

like very attractive.

"Hey," He called his voice pulling me from my trance "Did you need something?"

"Yeah," I cleared my throat "I came to return this to you I'm sorry I opened it I didn't realize it was yours until after I um opened it but um—here."

his eyebrows scrunched together as he took ahold of the package he pulled back the seal and peaked inside he quickly closed it and his face flushed a deep shade of red "Oh my god." he muttered "I'm so sorry you had to see that—this is from my best friend he's so stupid I swear Im not into stuff like this."

"Its fine, really I get it." I laughed

"Thank You for returning this though." He managed to laugh through his embarrassment

"It's no problem, Happy Birthday by the way." I spoke gesturing my hand towards him

"Belated now but Thank You." He smiled "You want to know something I never quite understood?"

"What?" I questioned

"Why do we say thank you to getting older?" He pondered leaning up against the door frame "Now that I think about it I'm only a few more thank you's away from having grey hair."

"I find that really hard to believe but just think about this way you survived another year of life in this shitty ass world we live in so that's something to be thankful for." I suggested before stepping off of the porch and making the walk back to my house

"Hey um wait up!"

I halted from walking and looked back into the doorway "I haven't seen you around here before."

"That's because I just moved in two weeks ago." I explained "My mom chose a great time to move in right at the start of summer where I have zero chance of making any friends."

"Well," He replied "If you don't think I'm some weird dildo addict you can come inside I was just beating my sister at a game of uno you can join in next round if you want."

"I don't know if I should." I responded "My moms at work right now and she wouldn't be happy if she found out I was at a boy's house while she was gone."

"Oh come on you can stay a few games, and be back before she's home." He replied "She'll never know."

I bit my lip and peered over my shoulder at my house

"Come on." He smiled gesturing for me to come inside

"Okay fine I guess one game won't hurt." I smiled before entering into his home.
