After spending a couple hours in the pool, Shane and I take the kids inside for lunch.
I scold Shane for getting my pants and sweater wet. I have nothing to change into, and I certainly don't want to go walking around this beautiful home dripping water everywhere.
"Come with me." Shane says, turning to face me and grabbing my hand in his. "Kids, stay here in the kitchen until we get back. Peyton, you know the kitchen rules!" Shane stats sternly, using his adorable authoritative voice.
"Okay Shaney!" Peyton smiles, struggling to pull out a chair for Jacob to sit on. I notice Jacob help her pull the chair out and I beam at how cute my little brother is.
"Where are we going?" I ask, suddenly aware of Shane's close proximity to me.
"To get you some clothes." He replies, in a duh tone.
"Um, unless you have another sister... I don't think I will fit anything." I shyly admit.
Shane lets out a low laugh and I fan-girl over it so hard.
"Just trust me." He smiles, as we enter a bedroom.
I immediately know it's Shane's room. Posters line every wall and I notice a few bands that I even like. "Good taste." I admit as my eyes take in every one.
"Thank you, Add." He smirks, walking over to his dresser that sits in the far corner of his bedroom.
The walls in Shane's room are a light green color; almost like hazel. He has a king size bed resting in the center of his room, the headboard up against the far wall. Of course, being male, his bed wasn't made. Still, I couldn't stop myself from imagining being cuddled up in Shane's comforter with his arms nuzzled around my waist.
I shake the images from my mind immediately. He would never.
"I would never what?" Shane suddenly asks, causing my face to turn white.
Apparently, I am great at thinking out loud.
"I um, never mind. What are you doing anyway?" I ask, desperate to change the current subject.
"Here, go into the bathroom there and put these on." He smiles while handing me a pair of grey sweatpants with a plain white T-shirt.
"Your clothes?" I ask just above a whisper.
"Is that a problem?" He asks, taking in my shy expression.
"Nope. Be right back!" I smile too widely and immediately turn on my heels, trying to get to the bathroom so I can be alone for five minutes.
I can't wear Shane's clothes.
Yes, you can.
No, I can't.
Just put the damn clothes on, Addie.
What if I look ugly in them?
"Ugh." I mumble, fed up with the argument currently taking place inside my head.
"You okay in there?" Shane asks, having heard my mumble.
Damn, does this guy have hawk ears too?
