The Inevitable of a Thug and a Girl

Chapter 10

"Okay before I say anything I need you to make me a promise" Shawn said. And by the looks of it whatever he had to tell me was something I was not going to like. 

"Promise you what?" 

"You have to promise me that after what I say, you won't look at me differently or try to leave me- I mean not that we are together or anything-Its just-I mean what I am trying to say is-" 

"Shawn whatever you have to tell me can't be that bad, so no one is going anywhere." I said cutting Shawn off from his rambling. 

What Shawn said next totally made me rethink everything I just said. "I'm a kingpin, the biggest one in the city." 

Who knew that Shawn my bestfriend, the one that is allowing me to stay in his home. The same Shawn that is by far the best cuddler in the world; although he is the only person I have ever cuddled with. 

The longer I stood there just staring at him I started to notice all of the signs of him being a kingpin. He is in a huge house in the best neighborhood in the city, by his self. Not only that he has at least three cars, or even when we were driving and no cops stopped him for driving illegal. What high school student do you know has all of that if they aren't doing anything illegal, or they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth? I'll answer it for you, NONE. 

Still not knowing what to say I continued to stare at him. I don't know if I should be hurrying to get out of here, or hugging him for letting me know the truth. 

"Can you say something? Do something?" Shawn said with a look of despair. 

Still not knowing what to do I let my legs guide me to where they wanted to go.  Before my mind registered what exactly I was doing I was already in front of Shawn. Too late to retreat I wrapped my arms around, which caused his head to lay on my stomach. It was in that moment I realized I was still wrapped in my dry towel. 

With the current situation we are in, it would't be bright to bring up the matter. Instead I continued to hold him in my arms while he wrapped his arms around me. After a few moments he pulled me on his lap, causing the towel to rise more increasing my want of getting out of this situation. 

"Before you say anything just let me say this. I know I probably should have told you way earlier about what I do, but this isn't something you tell someone when you first meet them." Shawn said. 

"Not going to lie the first thought that came to my mind once you told was to grab everything that belonged to me and get away from you as fast as possible. But deep down I wouldn't feel right if I had done that. I know this may sound weird, but thank you! Although you technically didn't have to tell me, you did and that just makes me respect you more as a person and allows me to view in a different light." There is so much more I wanted to say, but I'm afraid that it will just ruin whatever we have going on. 

It was now Shawn's turn to be quiet and shocked. Continuing to stare at me Shawn ran his right hand against me cheek, causing me to lean into it all while looking each other in the eye. Shawn's head started to lean towards mine, which involuntarily caused mine to lean in. However, before our lips were able to meet my towel fell open, breaking me out of the little moment we were in. 

Unlike before where I didn't want to say anything  to ruin the moment, I hopped up and ran to the closet to put on clothes.  Once I had clothes on I still stood in the closet contemplating whether or not I wanted to go back out. I mean for goodness sakes he probably was disgusted by what he seen. Choosing to stay in the closet I sat on floor and played with some stranded lent on the floor. 

"Nay?" Shawn called from in the room. And by the sounds of it he was still on the bed.  "You can come out the closet now, it doesn't take that long to place on clothes."

"Uhh I'm still looking for something to wear, I'll be out soon. Give me a moment." 

"So your going to change the clothes that you have on now." Shawn said from the closet door causing me to jump because I didn't expect him to be there. 

"Uhh..." Having nothing to say I just got off the floor and headed to bed. 

Like last time I struggled to get on the bed, but when I heard Shawn walking towards I used all of my strength to help on to the bed so he wouldn't have to touch me. Shrugging his shoulders Shawn pulled his shirt off and pants, and placing some basketball pants on. Once he go in the bed I made sure to be on my side and have room so we wouldn't have to touch. 

I guess Shawn had other plans because he wrapped his arm around me pulling towards his chest and locking me in his arms so I couldn't move. 

Well that ruined my plans. Before I could say anything I heard Shawn's light snores in my ear indicating he was sleep.
