[fyi: pretend you live in North Carolina for this one, k? Thanks]

// your pov //

I sit in the car with Shawn as we are currently on our annual road trip from North Carolina to Toronto.

Eventually, we both became starving since we are hardcore food addicts. So naturally we decide to get some food.

Shawn, knowing nothing about southern restaurants, decided to let me pick where we were gonna cure our hunger.

Since we wanted something quick I decided that we would stop by a local cookout (a/n: if you haven't been to this restaurant..you should! It's de-fricking-licious!!)

As we walk through the doors we are greeted with the delicious smell of hamburgers and French fries.

Once we've ordered I walk over to the drink fountain and begin examining my choices.

As I'm deciding on what drink I want, Shawn comes up behind me, confusion written on his face.

"Um babe what the hell is this? Cheerwine? How can they just have alcohol in the drink machine? I will never understand America...more specifically the South." Shawn questions making me laugh.

"Shawn, babe, okay; A) it's non alcoholic B) the 'cheer' means cherry and C) it's fricking delicious. And you've probably never heard of it because it's mostly native to North Carolina and Virginia."

"Umm I'm good thanks, I'll stick with sprite." Shawn chuckled, moving his cup to under the sprite dispenser.

"Ugh basic, here i'm gonna get it and you HAVE to try it."

"Fine, I'll try it but I'm not promising that I'll like it." Shawn chuckles as he goes to pick up our food from the counter.

  Once we had received our pieces of heaven...oh sorry I meant food, we sat outside since it was nice out and we both wanted to watch the sunset.

"Here Shawn, please just try one drink of this. If you don't like it I won't make you have any more." I begged.

"Ugh fine, but only for you." He said.

(A/n: low key thought of the Dolan twins when I typed 'for you' [4ou])

I couldn't help but grin somewhat mischievously as Shawn brought the straw up to his mouth. Reluctant to take a drink of the sugary beverage.

As soon as the drink enters his mouth he looks conflicted as to weather or not he likes it.

After he swallows the drink he hands you cup back to you, still undetermined on if he likes the drink.

"Well? What do you think?" I asked cautiously.

"It's really weird. It's very cherry like, but it's also not incredibly fizzy. I don't mind it it's just not my favourite. I'm definitely not as obsessed with it as you are." Shawn says.

"Okay, as long as you don't judge me too much for drinking it then we're good."

"I could never judge you baby girl" Shawn says sweetly as he placed a kiss on my forehead. "Now c'mon, lets go. We've still got a while to go."

"Alrighty, just let me refill my drink and we can go." I said causing Shawn to chuckle at my desire for even more soda.

After I had filled up my cup, I hoped back into Shawn's Jeep as we resumed out journey to Toronto.

"I hope you're ready for this Mendes. Cause cheerwine is one of the most caffeinated sodas out there." I say, sticking my tongue out at him making him laugh at my red-stained tongue.

"Oh boy, I can't wait." Shawn said sarcastically.

After about an hour of you bouncing in you seat you eventually came down from your caffeine and sugar high and passed out with your head leaning against the window.

Shawn smiled at the sight of his tired girlfriend before he kissed the back of your hand which was intertwined with his.

"Goodnight my sleepy princess." Shawn whispered before continuing the now silent drive to your next destination.
