Fate ~ Shawn Mendes

Chapter 10

After getting back to Shawn's condo I decided to have a shower and Shawn had to go meet his manager for Music stuff, which I didn't mind.
After my shower I curled up on the couch with the tv playing on the music channel, helping me to sleep. I'd had a headache ever since we had gotten back and the tablets hadn't seem to of helped.
I pulled the throw rug over my body and snuggled down into Shawn's couch.
•••
"Clara?" A soft voice woke me up.
My eyes fluttered open to see Shawn perching on the coffee table in front of me, his hand pressed against my forehead. "How long have you been this temperature?" He sounded concerned now.
"I went to sleep just after you left, I had a headache." I mumbled letting my eyes close again, pulling the blanket up over my shoulder.
Shawn stood up and went into the kitchen as I heard cupboards open and close and then a tap running.
"Drink this and have this." Shawn sat where he was before and I slowly raised my body to sit opposite him. He handed me a glass of water and a tablet. I took a sip of the drink and then placed the tablet in my mouth before having another drink and swallowing.
"Thankyou." I handed the glass back to Shawn.
"How about you go lay down in bed?" Shawn suggested but I lightly shook my head.
"I don't like being alone." I whispered embarrassed of what I was saying.
"Well I've got some work to do but I cold bring my laptop in here and sit on the couch with you?" Shawn asked.
"Yes please." I smiled and rubbed my eyes.
Shawn stood up and for a while he was missing but then he came out from his room in joggers and a hoodie, he looked really cosy and casual looked good on him. What was I saying? Everything looked good on him?
"So now it's you that's staring?" Shawn joked as he sat beside me.
"I was actually admiring the pasta stain on your hoodie." I pointed.
Shawn looked down at his hoodie trying to look at where his clumsiness had spilt.
"Gotcha." I laughed and Shawn looked at me narrowing his eyes and shaking his head before laughing along with me.
For about and hour I watched a movie whilst Shawn did things on his laptop, whenever I looked he kind of altered his seating position so I couldn't see the screen, maybe he didn't want anyone to see his new songs he's working on.
"And I'm done." Shawn smiled closing his laptop and placing it on the table. I looked over at him giving him a smile before returning my eyes to the screen.
"Popcorn?" Shawn asked standing up.
"I don't mind."
Shawn took a packet out and placed them all in a bowl, some escaping resulting in Shawn to curse a little which made him seem hotter.
He came back and sat closer to me this time, resting the bowl on his lap. I felt like he was watching me but I didn't want to turn and look just in case.
"So are you going to share that blanket or have you always been selfish?" Shawn blurted.
I looked over at him with my eyes wide, when he started to laugh.
"I'm only joking" he insisted. "But I would like some blanket."
"And what's the magic work Mendes?" I smirked.
"Ermmm don't think I was ever taught that."
"Fine. You just sit there. In the cold. Whilst I snuggle in this warm, cozy-"
"Please." He interrupted with a chuckle.
I smiled and moved the blanket so it was over both of our legs, mine raised to my chest.
I reached into the bowl for some popcorn and we both carried on watching the film in silence, but a comfortable one.
I reached my hand in again for some popcorn and was met by Shawn's. We both stopped and looked at each other before looking back down at the solo piece of popcorn. Before he could say or do anything I snatched it and placed it in my mouth slowly so he could watch. I slowly pressed my jaw together hearing the first crunch of the sweet and salty heaven in between my teeth.
"I was going to say this is like lady and the tramp when they romantically kissed as they both picked up the same spaghetti." Shawn shrugged with a slightly open mouth.
I tried to think of something quick and witty to say.
"If you wanted to of kissed me Shawn, you should of just said so." I said and placed the bowl on the table.
There was a moments silence before Shawn broke it.
"And what if I wanted to?" He asked.
"Try it and see." I quietly spoke watching his eyes bounce between mine and my lips. He placed his hand on my knee that was at my chest as he slowly leant in. I watched his lips as they grew ever nearer looking so pink and soft.
I felt his breath graze against my cheek as he made his way to my lips before pushing his against mine. It was slow at first as I caught my ground and knew what I was doing. He leant in further deepening the kiss and I slowly let my legs fall so that they were sat normally. His hand cupped my cheek and he ever so lightly pushed me so that I was changing how I sat. Without breaking the kiss he pushed me down so I was laying on the sofa and he was on top hovering over me. I felt his tongue lick my bottom lip, I hesitated at first but then slowly opened my mouth allowing him to explore. My hands came to his neck and my fingers cut through his brown curly hair, massaging him as his tongue dominated my mouth. I could feel it become more passionate as he deepened the kiss and I pulled on his shirt bringing him down closer to me, allowing us to both have a breath Shawn removed his lips from mine and started to leave wet kisses on my neck.
I kept my eyes closed and felt his mouth roam over my neck and upper chest, he found my sweet spot and I couldn't resist but let out a small moan.
"Shawn." I whispered as I tugged on some of his hair.
Shawn remained at my sweet spot, giving me my pleasure before a phone started to abruptly ring. Shawn stopped what he was doing and raised himself off of me and grabbing the phone.
"What?" He answered not looking at the caller I.D. "Oh sorry Geoff, I'm fine." There was a pause to let the other person speak. "Yeah sure, can I bring someone? Alright see you tomorrow."
Shawn hung up and looked back over at me.
"Sorry." He whispered taking a seat next to me again as I was now sat up.
"For what? For what we just did-"
"No!" He raised his voice a little. "God no." He placed a hand on my thigh. "For the phone call, cliche right that we get interrupted."
"Yeah." I laughed. "So who was it? On the phone?"
"Oh it was Geoff, remember the guy you hit with a door." Shawn laughed and I covered my face in embarrassment. "He rang to tell me about something tomorrow and we're going."
"We?" I questioned.
"Yes." He smirked rubbing his hand slightly up and down. "Now let's retire to bed because we have to get up early tomorrow."
"Where are we going?" I asked as we both walked into my room.
"You'll see." Shawn smiled removing his hoodie and showcasing his beautiful torso.
"Is that really all I get?" I folded my arms to look sassy whilst Shawn climbed into my bed.
"I may tell you what time we have to get up if you come and cuddle with me in here."
I made a face to look like I was debating it before climbing in next to Shawn and having his arms wrap around my body.
"So what time?" I asked as I rested my head in the crook of his neck closing my eyes.
"Early." He sniggered.
I unraveled myself from his arms and started to climb out the bed when Shawn grabbed my waist and pulled me back down onto the mattress and trapping me in his grip, my back against his stomach.
"8am." Shawn whispered and kissed the skin underneath my left ear.
"You just did that so you could spoon me." I scoffed.
"Worked didn't it?"
I could practically see Shawn smirking as I rolled my eyes.
"Goodnight Shawn."
"Goodnight Clara."
