April's POV
February 4, 2018
"Shawn, come up here for a second." I scream from the staircase. "Baby?" He asks and I swear my heart stopped. I laughed and then looked down, realizing I was just in a towel.
"You alright?" Shawn smirks biting his lips as he checks me out. I roll my eyes, swatting away his hand that he sneakily rested below my waist. I walked back into my childhood room with Shawn following me. "No, I'm nervous. What if your parents don't like me?" I breathe out and sit on my bed.
"You're the worried one? Your family is hosting this American party about football for my Canadian parents with really nice food and you're big Italian family which even intimidates me and they haven't been to New York since I played Madison Square Garden. And like who even knows if Aaliyah and Stella will get along!"
I chuckle at his cute babbling and rest my head on his shoulder. "Is this too soon? I was barely around Brian's family-"
"C'mon, don't compare what we have to those 6 months of lies and bullshit you had with Brian." He scoffs, anger rose in his voice and his eyes darkened. I got a little offended because Brian did mean a lot to me.
He was sadly right though.
He lifted my chin up and I still looked away. "We're just trying to have a little fun.. I know you have all these doubts and worries but just know my feelings for you are absolutely insane if that changes anything or helps." I smile at him and move a little closer before trying to kiss his lips.
"You're towel is falling off of your chest," Shawn starts hysterically laughing as I literally squirm out of his embrace to lift my towel up.
My wet hair hits him in the face and I fall back onto my bed with the towel off my chest; thankfully I wasn't completely naked.
"That's a pretty bra," Shawn chuckles throwing himself back on the bed to face me. "Shawn, stop." My cheeks are on fire right now and I'm so embarrassed I can't even look at him.
He climbs on top of me and lightly grins, his eyes did that thing where they crinkle just a little bit when he's all blushy. I've noticed that recently. I really make him happy. And he makes me happy as well.
"You're skin is so soft." Shawn kisses at my collarbone and I feel all the butterflies dance in my stomach. He's slowly and gently sucking on my skin and I'm giggling, caving into his touch.
"April?" Shawn and I both look up really quickly, hearing Stella knocking on the door.
"Shawn!" She runs in and he gets up to hug her; thankfully I don't think she's seen anything. "You going to put some clothes on?" She jokes asking me and I playfully roll my eyes walking over to my dresser.
This was really awkward. Shawn looked around my room for a bit, asking Stella how it used to be like when I lived here. "That's Lillian." I turn around and look at the photo Stella places into Shawn's hands.
The picture was taken right before I moved schools, we were so close and wanted to spend every day we had left in the city together. When I moved we were still really close until Kate transferred to my school; Lillian was jealous and thought it was best to leave everything in the past.
