Mason's POV
I smile softly at Shannon and stop the car in front of Hellville restaurant.
"You ready?" I ask her.
"Yea" She says as I un click my seat belt and fling open my door. I race around to her side and open the door for her.
"Thank you good sir" She jokes, getting out.
"Anything for you M'Lady" I bow jokingly.
She slaps my back softly and I pull her into the restaurant.
"Table for two" I ask a waiter who walks past.
"Right this way sir" He smiles at me and shamelessly checks out Shannon.
I glare at him and clear my throat.
"Right sorry sir!" He walks us over to a Booth and we sit down.
"I'll be back soon to order" He winks at Shannon and walks off.
I sigh and pull her onto my lap, muttering "As*hole"
She giggles and kisses me gently.
I trace circles on her thigh under her black dress and kiss her back.
I nibble on her bottom lip.
"Uhhm" Someone 'Clears' their throat and Shannon slowly pulls out of the kiss.
"What?" I snap up at the same waiter as before
"Order?" He says bored.
"Right, What do you want baby?" I ask Shannon.
"Hmm. Just the Sea-food Salad and a black current please" She says, not taking her eyes of mine
He looks at me "Butter chicken and Water"
"Very well" He says walking off.
We chat endlessly until we have our food.
She sips on her black current and I ask her questions about her self and she asks me, thankfully she doesn't mention my parents.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I start up the car as Shannon puts her seat belt on.
"Did you enjoy today?" I ask pulling out of the restaurant parking lot
"Yea, I had a great time, thanks" She smiles as I rest my hand on her thigh.
"That's good, no problem"
"Did you have a great time?" She asks.
"Yes" I answer truthfully, "Want to stay over? Uh I mean we wont do anything ..... Just sleep....I mean unless you want to?" I ramble on and she laughs.
"Of course I'll stay" She answers and we drive home in a comfortable silence.
I park my car and get out at the same time Shannon does. "Hey! I was meant to open your door!" I joke.
"Whoops!" She smiles and I walk around to her, locking my car first, and pull her inside.
"We're home!" I call out as I shut the front door.
"Okay" Gem's voice comes from the lounge. I drag Shannon into the lounge and laugh at the sight we are greeted with; Stacey asleep on Troy, Troy asleep on the couch and his feet propped up on Gem's lap, while Gem plays Ps3.
"Interesting night you had Gem" Shannon laughs as Gem glares at us.
"Shut up and wake him up! I'm tired!"
"You can stay if you want?" I says.
"Sure" She shrugs as I leave Shannon's side and pick up Stacey.
"Be back in a minute, help your self to drinks" I say leaving the room.
I put Stacey in her bed and pull the blankets up and over her tiny body.
"Love you sis" I say quietly kissing her forehead before exiting her room with a quiet click of her door closing shut.
I see Shannon in the hallway and pull her in for a hug.
"Hey you ok?" She asks.
"Yip, Let's go to bed" I say.
I pull her into my room and give her one of my tops and a pair of boxes.
"I'll be back in a sec" I say closing my door and heading into the lounge. "We're going to bed now guys" I say as I walk into the lounge.
"Omg! Ew" I shut my eyes at the sight of my two best friends as Gem giggles at me.
"God you guys! Couldn't you have waited"
"Nope!" Troy laughs, "Ok She's covered"
I move my hands away from my eyes.
"Thanks bro! really wanted to see Gem topless!"
"Sorry! Shannon said she was going to go get you and go to bed!"
"Well I'm going! Jeez don't scar Stace!" I say walking out of the lounge.
"Night!" Gem calls out.
I walk into my room and join Shannon on the bed. I pull my top over my head and kiss her quickly.
"I need to Pee" She says laughing and getting of my bed on the other side. I laugh and stand up and unzip my skinny jeans, pulling them off and hopping back under my covers.
She comes back in a few minutes later and pushes me over and gets in on my side.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Nothing, Your sides warmer" I chuckle and kiss her temple.
She slings her leg over my waist and curls into me.
"Night" I say
"Night" She whispers into the silent room.
I lay there silently as she falls asleep, thinking about my life.
"I think I'm falling for you" Shannon whispers ten minutes later, she must think I'm asleep.
"I think I'm falling for you too" I whisper back and she pulls her head off my chest and looks at me in the darkness. She stretches her neck and pecks my lips quickly.
I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her up higher, putting my lips on hers.
"Are you scared?" I ask as I pull out of the kiss.
"Yes" She answers lying her head on my chest.
"Why?"
"I've been hurt before" She says sleepily.
"Oh...We'll talk more tomorrow, go to sleep Beautiful" I say drifting off to sleep myself.
