The Trouble With Love (SHOEY Fanfic) DISCONTINUED

Can't Get Away from You (Chapter 3) EDITED JANUARY 7th 2015

I lay there, frozen, with Shane holding on to me, as if time stood still.

Shane loves me...? What about Lisa?!

I looked up at Izzy, who was still looking pretty pissed that she walked in on her brother and best friend, then to hear that. I cant blame her. I would feel awkward if I was in the same room while someone told Nicole that they loved her.

When I looked back down at Shane, he was asleep. I shoved aside my conflicted feelings and sighed in awe of him.

Look at this gorgeous dork... He looks so peaceful... I really wanted to stay with him. If only for the night..

Izzy walked around the bed to the doorway, pats my shoulder, and murmurs as if reading my mind.

"You can stay here tonight, Joey. It's getting late anyways. "

I nod in appreciation and cuddle closer to Shane. His breathing seemed to deepen as he fell into a firm sleep. Every thought that was previously tearing at my mind disappeared as I listened to his rhythmic breathing. He's so comforting... I've never seen him this way. I think I like it..

I glanced up as Izzy walked out with an exasperated huff. I suppose she's taking it harder than she's letting on. Maybe she had a crush on me or something?

I shrugged it off and dismissed it as her being grossed out, and I kissed Shane's forehead.

"I love you..."

My heart skipped a beat and I smiled a little. I actually love someone...

---The Next Day---

I wake up to Shane's arm in my face.

At first I had no clue where I was and started to panic. How did I get in Shane's house?! I sat up quickly and wriggled out of his grasp, adrenaline pumping into my veins. What did I do yesterday??

But then yesterday's events came flooding back into my mind and I relaxed. I lost my virginity to Shane... He said he loves me too... Everything's fine...

"Shane..." I smile and nudge him gently. "Boo... Wake up..."

I was greeted with a fart. Wow. I shouldn't be surprised.

I laugh and get up. "Don't blame me if you sleep all day, asshole." I was feeling strangely giddy today. Maybe this is gonna turn out well.

I put on my shirt that I had taken off from yesterday before I fell asleep. Shane continued sleeping restlessly as I tried to quiff my hair in vain. He has no hair products here...

I was feeling pretty hungry, so I went to the kitchen. Izzy wasn't awake yet, so I figured I'd make breakfast.

I got eggs out of the fridge and started making scrambled eggs. It was so quiet... I guess Dawsons aren't really morning people.

Just as I was about to flip the egg, I hear someone grab my waist from behind me.

"BOO!"

I jumped maybe two feet up in the air and whirled around, almost dropping the frying pan in fright.

"Izzy?! Oh my GOD woman!!! Don't do that! You scared the shit out of me!!!!"

I took several deep breaths to calm myself, not letting my surprise get the best of me. Izzy smiled smugly, proud of her new accomplishment.

She walked up behind me and rested her chin on my arm.

"Sorry, Joey. You kind of deserved it, considering you had sex with my brother in my own house." I groan. I don't want to talk about it until Shane and I actually make something out of it. He said he loves me, so maybe we could... Y'know... Get together?
