Shawn pulled up to his street and cautiously parked his car. He slammed his car door shut and swung his keys back and forth, humming to himself. He turned on his phone checking the time. Almost one.
He walked up to his house bringing out his keys. His parents were probably asleep, and Aaliyah was either asleep or wide awake with two of her friends who were over having a sleepover. He creaked the front door open. He took of his shoes and placed his keys on the counter. Shawn heard giggles in the living room. He peered into the room and saw they were all cuddled up on the sofa together watching some movie he'd never seen before. Aaliyah made a contact with him and gave him a wave with her eyes going right back to the screen. He chuckled to himself seeing all the girls with their eyes glued to the TV.
He slowly walked up the stairs hoping not to wake his sleeping parents because they had had along day that day with work and all. Shawn went to his room and laid on his bed, relaxing his body. He turned on his phone debating on whether he should or shouldn't text Paige. Shawn decided he would text her in the morning when he had something good to say because saying he just wanted to talk to her would be weird...right? He shook his head at his thoughts and felt he should just go to sleep, it was to late to be thinking. But Shawn being Shawn still kept on thinking about why he should or shouldn't text her.
He compiled a mental list which consist of the following:
Reasons to text her...
So she knows I haven't forgotten about her.
So she knows that I want to become her friend.
So she knows that I care about her even though I just meet her.
Reasons not to text her...
I'll sound desperate.
She'll think I'm a creep.
She'll think I'm a stalker who's trying to use her.
He finally decide he would indeed not text and wait for when he had something witty to say that he knew would bring a smile to her face.
It took him awhile to sleep but his brain finally shut up and his eyes finally closed.
...........
He woke to the sound of Aaliyah and her friends chatting and to the smell of food. He yawned and tried to go back to sleep but try as he might he couldn't. Shawn eventually got out of bed and went to the shower. He blasted his music as he washed his hair. He sang along. Suddenly "You Need Me" came on. All the memories of last night and that carefree spunky girl came to mind. Shawn sang along to the song just like she had done the night before. Once the song ended he was done with washing his hair and body. He turned off the water and wrapped the towel around himself. He walked to his room and put on a pair of black jeans and a hoodie. He laid back on his bed and connected his speaker to his phone putting his chill playlist on. Shawn sang while he laid down. He heard a ding from his phone and he immediately picked it up hoping it was Paige. But of course it wasn't. It was one of his friends at school.
Brian: yo are you comin to the party tonight?
Shawn really didn't want to go that much but he didn't want to let his friends down.
Shawn: umm sure. When and where?
He put his phone down and went back to his singing. Another ding came from his phone. He mentally groaned cause his music kept stopping every time that happened. He picked it up. Paige's contact name shown from his phone. His heart might have started beating a little faster but Shawn would probably never admit it. He opened the message.
Paige: starting the morning eating ice cream this can only lead to two things:
The start of something horrible or a great day
Shawn chuckled to himself, imagining Paige saying that. He typed his response but quickly deleted it. Thinking that he should probably wait a couple minutes and come up with something better to say. He low key wanted to say "have room for one more?" He decided that would be way to creepy and a little too direct. He eventually ended up just saying what he first texted.
Shawn: haha hopefully the latter. Well it depends on the flavor actually.
His phone dinged
Paige: lol hopefully I'll keep ya updated.
Paige: only the best kind!!!!
Shawn: and the best kind is.....??
He sat up and put his phone in his pocket, deciding to start the day with breakfast.
