the bad boy [s.m.]

[23]

Jen's POV

*Skip to Saturday, May 1, 2018*

Today is Alma's birthday, that little monster is finally turning 5. Funny thing is it also just so happens to be Shawn and I's 8 month anniversary.

Throughout this time we've had our ups, downs, laughs, smiles, and heated arguments. Ever since that situation with Natalie, we've been so great together.

Shawn was finally gonna meet my whole family, while my family was so excited to meet him, he was stressed that they wouldn't like him.

We were in my room getting ready, while the party was happening, when Shawn was stressing out more than ever.

"Are you sure I look okay? Maybe I should go change? Or I could wear a suit? Would a suit look better?" He ran his hand through his hair.

I came up behind him, wrapping my arms around him while I kissed his back, knowing this is gonna calm him down.

"Babe, you look great like always, stop selling yourself short. My parents love you, I'm sure the rest of my family will too." He sighed turning around facing me.

I was wearing ripped black jeans, an olive green v-neck shirt, my black vans, and my hair was natural. Basically what I look like everyday, not like today was something super special.

Shawn was wearing his black shoes, black jeans, and a black short sleeve button up. He looked like he was way out of my league, even now after being together for so many months it was so hard to believe that he's my boyfriend.

"Says the one who looks gorgeous in everything she wears." I laugh.

"Me? What about you? You look handsome in everything you wear." I put my hand on his chest.

"Darling, you're the most gorgeous girl I've seen in my entire life." I blushed at his compliment. He gave me a quick kiss before my brother came into my room. Awkward.

"Hey! Wow, wow, there are children here." He covered his daughters eyes, while we all laughed.

His daughter was Diana and she was only about 2, she was gonna turn 3 in September. My brother and his wife, Stella, still haven't met Shawn but they were very excited to.

"Nice to see you again too Luis." I give him a hug. "How do you deal with him Stel?" We laugh and hug.

I gesture over to Diana to see if she wants to be in my arms and her face lights up. I grab her and walk over back to Shawn, who looks nervous as hell.

"Luis, Stella, this is my boyfriend Shawn. Shawn this is my brother Luis and his wife Stella." Shawn hugs Stella and gives Luis a handshake.

"Nice to meet you guys." He smiles while putting his hand around my waist.

"Meeting the family today huh?" My brother asks.

"Yeah, that obvious?" Shawn laughs awkwardly.

"Nah man you're good, just stay away from Tia Victoria, she can get a bit handsy." He laughs.

"Don't forget Tio Ramon, he figures out you did anything to her, he'll have your head." Stella mentions.

Yeah, my family has always been very protective, but considering this is my first boyfriend. Oh they are ruthless, they find out he has done anything wrong by me, doesn't matter how good of a boxer he is, he's dead.

"Okay enough scaring him, we still have to finish getting ready." I push them out of the room while handing Diana to Stella.

"See you down there!" She yells while they walk away.

I go over to my drawer and open it, I put Shawn's anniversary gift here, I knew he wouldn't find it.

"Happy Anniversary Shawn!" I turned around to see him with a box in his hand. I smile, we sit on the bed, exchange gifts, and argue which one opens first.

We decided that I would open it first. When I opened it I found a necklace with a charm that read 'Shawn'. I gasped and was about ready to cry.

"Happy anniversary baby." He whispered. I couldn't believe he got me this, I immediately wanted to put it on.

"Thank you." I said once I had it on, I hugged him and urged him to open his present.

He opened it and was so surprised by what he found inside. I made him a scrapbook of all the adventures we've had in the 8 months we've spent together.

He flipped through the pages and once he reached the end, he had tears in his eyes.

"I love you." He said to me, my heart always fluttered when he told me those three little words.

After all that, we finished getting ready and met all my family downstairs.

"Finally, Shawn this is my Tia Rosie. Tia this is Shawn." They hugged and talked for a bit.

"Finalmente te encuentras novio." My Tia teased me while Shawn stood there clueless, as always.

I walked away while Shawn guided me through all my family.

"Your Spanish turns me on." He whispers to me.

"Oh calm down." I laugh and we kiss.

We were interrupted by my cousin Richard saying 'ew'.

"Mind your business Richie!" I yell at him when he walks up to me with a soccer ball.

"How about a match?" He challenges me while everyone around us turns their attention to us.

"You don't want to try me Richard, I'll kick your ass at this."

"We'll see, one on one, whoever wins has to take a cake to the face." I agree and we start to head outside while my family start gambling.

Shawn's POV

Everyone was surrounding the backyard as Jen was battling her cousin at a game of soccer. They were betting left and right, from what I gathered Jen was the one everyone though was going to win.

"Have you ever seen her play?" Luis asked me.

"I've only ever seen her practice, she was really good then."

"Do you love her?" I was confused by his question but quickly answered.

"Of course, there is no one like her." I continue looking at them play.

"Exactly. I'm gonna tell you one thing, I hope you take this with you for the rest of your relationship with my sister." I nod and look at him.

"She has one of the purest hearts I've ever seen. These girls can go fuck with guys all over the place, make him feel less of a man than he is. She's different, always had been. I've never known Jen to hate someone, no matter how hard she tries, she can't hate someone. You can fuck her over a hundred times, she still won't hate you."

"I know this, what are you trying to tell me?"

"This family holds her close, you break her heart, it will hurt us all. I'm not gonna threaten to beat you up or kill you because I'm sure you all that. Just know this, you break her, you break the one girl who loves you more than she loves herself. You broke her pure, innocent heart, you won't be able to repair it as it was. You have her heart in your hands, don't throw it on the floor and stomp all over it, care for it."

"I wouldn't do that to her." I say lowly.

"I've heard that before. Lana's ex once said that to me, he left my little sister a mess and pregnant. I found that asshole and sent him to the hospital, don't let that be you."

I wouldn't allow myself to hurt her, she was the best thing that ever happened to me.

That beautiful girl would never hurt again with me by her side, that's a promise..
