Shawn:

I was helping her up but she lost her balance as soon as she stood up.

"Ooh carful." I said catching her. She blushed and smiled at me. "Guess I literally fell for you huh?" She said regaining her balance. "That was cute." I said and blushed.

I decided to pick her up and carry her bridal style to her room. "Shawn! You don't have to do this." She laughed and I smiled at her. "I know. But I want to." I said and she blushed, burying her face in my neck.

"You smell nice." She said and I pecked her cheek. We got to her room and I opened the door with the key I took from her. She was asleep in my arms and I layed her down on her bed.

She was still in her working clothes.

"Maya." I said softly to wake her up. "Mm." She replied sleepy. "You need to undress. Get dressed in your nightwear." I said and she stood up walking to her bathroom.

When she got back after a while she was just in a oversized shirt. "Are you okay?" I asked as she sat down on the bed. She kept looking down at her hands, so I took them in mine.

I saw a smile creeping onto her face and I smiled. "Thank you." She said and I pulled her into a hug.

She started softly crying and I caressed her back. "You're okay now Maya. He won't come near you again." I said softly and she looked up at me.

She wiped away her tears from her cheek and smiled.

"Why are you so good to me?" She asked and I didn't reply to her. "Shawn." She said.

I cupped her cheek, feeling her soft lips brushing against mine and I smiled before kissing her.

"Because I like you. A lot." I said and she blushed. "Well I like you to." She said back making my heart leaping from happiness.

"Can you stay the night please?" She asked looking away. I was a bit shocked at her question but I understood.

She was afraid.

I don't want her to be scared, not when I'm around her. I want her to be safe. "Without a doubt." I said and she smiled laying down on her bed.

I layed down next to her and looked at her as she drifted off to sleep. I smiled knowing she's okay. I kissed her forehead and she moved closer to me, resting her head on my chest and wrapping her arm around me.

I placed my arm around her waist.

Is this moving to fast?

I really like her. I really do.

I just don't want her to be forced into something she's not ready for.
