"Your natural hair and your soft skin
And your big ass in that sundress"

- SHAWN's POV -

"Shawn!" I heard her holler from the stairs. "Aren't we going to be late?"

I rolled my eyes grabbing my phone from the dresser. Of course, she was worried about being late after being the one who took 2 hours to get dressed. Jogging down the stairs I swiped my denim jacket from the back of the couch as she opened the door.

"About time, you take forever you know." She said.

"Please, I was dressed long before you." I laughed locking the door behind us.

She ran to the driver's door holding onto the handle. I walked down the front steps of the house sliding my arms into the jacket sleeves while giving her a questioning look.

"What are you doing?"

"I'd like to drive today." She said holding out her palm for my keys.

"You'd like to what?" I smirked in disbelief.

"Oh, come on Shawn! You've driven us everywhere all week." She whined dropping her hand. "You drove us to the store, to dinner, to the mall, even to the pier yesterday!"

"Well I do know where everything is. You don't." I stated leaning against my front tire.

"But I can GPS anywhere or you can just give me directions from the passenger seat."

"I don't know Mer. Your driving skills are ques-"

"How would you even know? You weren't around these past couple years and you've never seen me drive." She said hugging her arms across her chest.

"I don't want to take any chances. I want to live to see tomorrow."

"Shawn please, you said it was just around the corner." She pleaded resting her hands on my chest.

I backed myself against the Jeep as she stared up at me with what I could've sworn were seductive puppy eyes. Her hands gripped my jacket as she leaned her body into mine.

The past couple days we spent together we had grown closer. Getting to know each other all over again and just like back then, her touch still made me break. I bit my lip painfully to control myself. Internally I felt as though my knees had gone weak. Mer was breathtaking in the afternoon glow of the Californian sun.

The floral sundress she wore danced in the breeze along with her ringlet curls. Her chestnut shade skin sparkled with specks of glitter from her shimmer perfume.

My eyes fell upon her rotund lips. They appeared soft, free of any cracks or signs of dryness, glossed over in a clear lip balm that smelled of strawberries. I had to stop myself from impulsively leaning in to kiss her. For the sake of my pride and rising erection I had to give in to her soft begs.

"Fine." I sighed pushing her back by her shoulders.

"Yes, thank you!"

"Just don't kill us." I joked opening the driver door for her to climb inside. She turned over the engine as I got in and buckled my seat belt. Hearing it click I looked at her as she felt all over the seat with confusion.

"Mer, what are you looking for?"

"I can't reach the pedals." She huffed.

I smiled undoing my seat belt reaching over her to adjust her seat. I stopped every couple inches from the steering wheel checking with her to make sure she felt comfortable. Only when she was nearly flushed against the wheel did she tell me I could stop which was great since the seat couldn't get any closer.
