Love Thy Neighbor

Chapter 63

The rest of the tour is pretty much a breeze. Since Shawn is in the U.S., the timezone difference is minimal. Lila and I can talk and FaceTime with him throughout the day. He has several more tour breaks at home which we spend focused on our family.

At the last minute, I decide to go to his final show of the tour, which is once again in Toronto. It seems fitting that I am there to make up for not being at the show after we'd broken up because of the crazy mixup with the envelope. I contact Andrew and he makes all the arrangements. It's going to be a surprise, because surprises are always more fun. I'm not taking Lila with me this time since it's David's weekend with her. Plus, once I told her there was no Disneyland in Toronto, she said she didn't want to go.

I fly to Toronto on Friday night. The show is on Saturday, but I want to spend some time with Jules. We get a fancy hotel suite and spend the night eating room service food and drinking wine. The next day we go out for a nice lunch and do some shopping. Jules convinces me to buy some very sexy undergarments.

"Wear them under whatever mom-type outfit you are rocking tomorrow. Shawn will get two surprises. One when you show up and another when he rips your clothes off."

"I take offense at the comment about my clothes, Jules. I think I dress pretty cute," I say.

"You look cute because you are fucking adorable and always have been. You could be wearing things that are a bit trendier. Maybe less comfy and more stylish," she advises.

"You make it sound like all I wear are yoga pants and t-shirts."

"Don't lie to me, how many days a week do you wear yoga pants?"

I frown. "Point taken. But it's not like I am wearing them to Shawn's show tomorrow!"

"We're going to buy you something new for tonight. I'm picking it out," Jules insists.

Admittedly, my new outfit looks good. The pants are way tighter than I normally wear, the heels are higher, and my sexy bra has my boobs pushed up at least an inch higher than usual, which you can tell with the scoop neck top I am wearing.

I go to the condo (which I still think of as Shawn's but is technically mine, too) while I know he'll be at the venue doing meet and greets and the Q&A. I take a long bath, shave really well, spend quite a bit of time on my hair and make-up, and get dressed.

I get to the Air Canada Centre about half an hour before the concert starts. I still have my all access pass, so once I get in I find Geoff who escorts me over to where I am watching. I'm just off to the side, right near the stage. He should see me.

I'm giddy with anticipation as the music starts. While the L.A. concert was awesome, I had Lila taking a lot of my focus. It's nice to be able to give 100% of my attention to my husband.

Shawn walks on stage singing the same song he's started with the whole tour. The crowd goes crazy. He is all smiles for his hometown as he sings. When the song is done he has to wait until the arena settles down.

"Hello, Toronto!" he screams. He then looks around at his thousands of fans, scanning the crowd to take it all in.

I see him turn his head my way and when he sees me he stops.

"Oh shit!" he says. "Hold on everyone...I need to do something."

He runs over to the side I'm standing at, hops off the stage, and hurries to where I am standing. There's a barrier between us but he reaches over it and picks me up. He gives me a kiss before setting me back down.

"Baby, you are the best," he says in my ear.

He then climbs back on the stage and goes back to the mic.

"Toronto, my wife surprised me. Sorry, but I had to give her a kiss." He then blows me several kisses. The crowd eats this up and the screaming is insane.

Shawn resumes the concert and it is just amazing. I dance and sing along to his songs, my heart swelling with pride.

After the show, I get escorted to his dressing room. He takes a quick shower and changes, but not before giving me several more kisses.

"You sure you don't mind going out?" he asks for the tenth time from the back of the limo. "We can just go back to the condo."

"Shawn, it is the last show of this tour. You have to celebrate with your team! I am excited to go out!"

We get to the brew pub that they've rented out. The band is already here, although most of the crew is tearing down the set. They will come over as they finish. Several representatives from Shawn's label are here, as well as a few celebrities who attended the concert.

Shawn gets me a drink and then takes me by the hand as he makes his rounds thanking people. He personally tells each person how important they've been to the tour. He's so damn grateful and genuine.

The more people drink, the more the dance floor fills up. Shawn pulls me out of my seat and into the center of the dancing throng. He holds me close as he dances to the loud club music. His cheeks turn pink and his hair gets sweaty. In my eyes he is as sexy as he's ever been.

After we dance to a few songs, he pulls me away from the crowd and towards the bathrooms. There's a door next to the men's room. He opens it and I see it leads out to an alley. He tugs my hand and I follow him outside. He pushes me against the door as it shuts.

"Jesus Christ you look incredible tonight," he says as his mouth attacks my neck. "This outfit is fucking hot."

I moan as he nips at the tender skin under my ear, and I tell myself to be sure to send Jules a bouquet of flowers as a thank you.

Shawn takes my hands and holds them over my head, pressing his body against mine. "Baby, I want you bad."

"Up against this door?" I ask him, biting my lip after I pose the question.

He looks around. The alley is deserted and there are no buildings with windows anywhere nearby. Besides, there's no lighting out here. No one is going to see us.

"Time to fulfill that wish of yours," he says, his voice husky.

I'm so glad that I'd brought this up at the sushi restaurant and even gladder that he remembered.

When we're done and have made ourselves decent again, he knocks on the door. Someone in the men's room hears it and opens it. Shawn says thanks as we walk past the curious crew member.

"He totally knows what we just did," I giggle.

"So what. We're married."

The party continues for hours. We don't get home to the condo until almost four in the morning. We stumble in and head straight to the bedroom. It's late (or early, when you consider it is the next day) and we're tipsy. We'd already fooled around once, but we both want more.

Shawn takes off my outfit, revealing the new lingerie. It'd been too dark in the alley for him to get a good look.

"Hot damn," he says under his breath.

Round two is almost as good as round one.
