Falling deep [S.M]

28- The most perfect weekend part 3

I woke up to the sweet smell of Karen's pancakes, I roll over to cuddle Shawn, squishing him slightly to make sure he was awake.

"Morning Sunshine" Shawn spoke in his sexy morning voice.

"Morning, Shawn" I say pecking his cheek.

"So, what's the plan for today?" I say stretching my body out as Shawn got out of bed and cane round to my side of the bed.

"I don't know, but one thing is for certain! The day is starting off with the most amazing pancakes in the world." He finished picking me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed his lips.

"I love you" I say quietly in his ear

"I love you so much more" he said kissing my lips a final time then placing my feet firmly back on the ground so we could walked out to the kitchen.

"Morning Karen" I spoke happily as we entered the open plan kitchen

"Oh, good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?" She said hugged both me and Shawn.

"I did thank you" I said cheerfully as a poured myself an orange juice.

"Morning mom" Shawn said into the hug.

"I took advantage of the fact Aaliyah and Manny were still sleeping to sit on one of the only breakfast bar seats there was.

Shawn sat next to me and Karen leant over from the other side with her cup of tea in her hand.

"Grab as many pancakes as you want, there are plenty more ingredients to make more" She says happily.

For a few minutes we make general conversation talking about School, and how my family are doing.

"Morning Mom" Aaliyah speaks sleepily

"Morning guys" She says with a slight wave as she stacks her plate of pancakes.

"Morning" we all say at the same time

"Aaliyah isn't a morning person, conversation normally starts around 10AM, and that's if we are lucky" Shawn said leaning over to me earning a look that could kill from Aaliyah.

Once Manny was finally up and we had all eaten as much as we possibly could we all got ready for the day.

I wore black jeans and a white sweater with rips at the bottom.

I did a little bit of make up and simply put my long hair into a ponytail.

I braided Aaliyah's hair and we were all finally ready.

"There is the cutest village about a 5 minute walk away you will love it!" Aaliyah said excited, it made me smile seeing her smile after such a tough time.

"When I first came here, it reminded me of when I used to spend time in wales as a child" Karen said to me, I nodded in understanding as I've been to wales a few times when I was younger.

I walked hand in hand with Shawn down the dirt road to the village, the village was very minimal, there was a pub, a cafe and a few shops, at the end but the lake there was an arcade.

"Every year we get very competitive on the arcade games, year in and year out we verse each other in air hockey and year in and year out we always end up in an argument because whoever loses things it's not fair." Manny said laughing.

"I'm up for air hockey, I'm very competitive!" I say clapping my hands together.

Air hockey is a table game, one or two players per side, you had a handle that you use to defend a small hole in the board, if the opponent gets the puck In the hole they score! First to 7 wins.

"Game on then" Shawn said narrowing his eyes.

There was two tables, Shawn and I played on one and Karen and Manny played the other, who ever finished first plays Aaliyah, then the winners play each other.

A couple minutes in Shawn was winning 2-1 and Karen was winning 5-3. Shawn was too busy celebrating his 2nd score when I hit the puck too fast for him to defend straight into the hole and it's now 2-2. He narrows his eyes once again and we play on, hitting it back and forth between each other waiting for the other to slip up. Eventually both games ended, I won Shawn 7-5 and Manny made an excellent come back and won Karen 7-5 too.

Manny and Karen's game ended first so we all gathered round one table to watch Manny take on Aaliyah. Aaliyah plays ice hockey with her school, however this is completely different, the only similarity is they both have pucks.

Aaliyah won 7-0, clearly very competitive. We started our winners game it was neck and neck for a while but then Aaliyah scores the winner.

I rolled my eyes in frustration but congratulated her.

After playing on more arcade games we headed back to the house. We walked along the lake and talked about anything and everything.

I was in a deep meaningful conversation with Karen about keeping memories like these. Walking a few feet in front of us was Manny with both his children on either side of him laughing uncontrollably.

"I might be bias, but Shawn is the best for you. I've never seen him this happy before, I see you two together and you remind me of Manny and I at your age, I hope to have you at these family weekends year in and year out" Karen spoke bringing me in for a hug.

"I hope too" I say linking her arm to keep in the warm and smile as I watch Shawn laugh with his Dad and Sister.
