Unexpected // sm

Chapter 16

        Shawn looked down at me and said it once again. "What an asshole. I could treat you so much better." It wasn't the fact that he said it, it was his choice of words. He said he could treat me so much better. Not he could of. No, he didn't mean that. He must of just made a mistake. I kept thinking he had feelings for me when it was obvious he didn't, he was with Caleen. Not me. I didn't need him to save me, I didn't need him to feel bad for me.

           But I was in his arms. On his lap. I looked up at him and said, "Shawn, why do you care? No offense. I just don't understand. Cam is your friend. Not me." I looked in his eyes searching for a satisfactory answer.

        "Oh, be quiet Kenna. No friend of mine would ever treat a girl like that. I wasn't raised like that and I refuse to be around that. And you are my friend, Kenna. I care about you."

        He said, engulfing me in another hug. In that second, he made me feel like everything went away. Like nothing was wrong, like I hadn't just been cheated on. I never thought a hug could do so much. But this was different. When Shawn hugged me, he lifted me off the floor a couple of inches. Even with us on the floor, he lifted me up. The best part was I have never seen him hug another girl like this. Cam was the one always known for his amazing hugs. Maybe I was different, or maybe Shawn liked hugging me or something.

          That's why when Shawn tried to pull away, I just tightened the grip of my arms around his neck. I felt his surprise, and then he pulled me even closer. I laughed as I guess he was too strong, and we fell back on the floor. I was sitting on top of him, with one knee on each side of him. Shawn looked up at me and smiled.

         "Well that wasn't expected." He said as I lightly laughed. I smiled, and realized how we were actually sitting. Not awkward at all.

        "Hey, Kenna? " He questioned as he sat up a little.

        "Sure. What is it?" I asked a little uncertain.

        "Is it alright if I do this?" He smirked.

        "Do wha-" I didn't get to finish. It's kind of hard to answer a question when there is another pair of lips against yours. Especially when Shawn cupped my face in his hands, pulling me down onto him farther. His lips were so smooth and soft, but they gave me a rush of electricity like no other.  I ran my hands through his hair like I had seen Caleen doing the other day.

        He didn't put this much intensity into their kiss. Wait. Caleen. And Shawn. They were dating. I quickly pulled away and rolled off of him. "I'm sorry.. Caleen.. boyfriend.. cheating.." I stuttered as I opened the room door to leave. I quickly stepped out, leaving Shawn speechless behind me. I walked towards the stairs, feeling too anxious for an elevator. I stole a glance behind me, to see Shawn walking out of my room fixing his hair, just as Caleen rounded the corner. She saw him and started asking him questions, before full out screaming at him.

        I hurried down through the lobby and outside. Even though it was spring, I was freezing. I can't believe I just did what had happened to me earlier. I'm no better than Cam.
