Down The Drain {S.M}

Chapter 8: Better Be

{Gracelyn Adams}

The sun wakes me up and I slowly let my eyes open, adjusting to the brightness. I shift my head, looking towards Shawn, causing him to wake up. "Hey, beautiful.", he says, his voice thick with morning voice. I smile and blush. "Good morning.", I say. "Good morning.", he says, leaning in to kiss my cheek.

"You missed.", I smile. "What?", he asks, confused. I lean in and kiss his lips. He jumps with surprise and kisses me back, putting his arms around me. I pull away and blush.

"I did not expect that.", he says, smiling, "But, I liked it." "I did, too." ---------------------------------

"Bye, Kay. See you soon, okay?", I squeeze her tight. She nods. "I hope you have fun with Shawn on tour. Facetime me every night! Jack and I are gonna come to a show when y'all make it to LA." "Okay. That sounds great. We will send tickets enough for everyone.", I say. She nods and stands next to Jack. He wraps an arm around her and kisses her cheek.

Shawn and I say goodbye to everyone and make plans for when we come back to LA. "Bye, guys!", we yell, as we close the door. We walk down the stairs and make our way to the car.

"I'm still so sorry to cut this trip short.", Shawn says, backing out of the driveway. I grab his hand and hold it in my lap. "It's fine. As long as I'm with you, I'm perfect." He lifts my hand to his mouth and kisses it. "I have no idea how I got so lucky with you.", he sighs. I blush and look out the window.

--------------------------------------------------------

He pulls up to my apartment, we grab our bags and we go inside. "Hey, angel, is it ok if I stay the night tonight?", he asks me. "Of course, you don't even have to ask.", I say. "Thank you.", he smiles at me.

I sit at the kitchen island with my water bottle and open my phone, replying to some texts. I hear Shawn's phone start to ring.

"It's Andrew. I better take this.", he says, opening his phone. "Hey, Gerty." "Wait, you're saying we are pushing tour back until April 27 and we leave 5 days before that? Tour is supposed to start in literally two months." I turn and look at Shawn. He's sitting on the couch, his legs shaking up and down. Oh lord, he's trying to contain himself so he doesn't blow up.

I set my phone down and make my way towards him. He immediately grabs my hand, needing comfort. I whisper, "Squeeze my hand to let the anger out." He squeezes my hand tightly, but doesn't make it hurt.

"I'm sorry for kind of freaking out just now, Andrew, but this is just a shock to me. Mhm. Okay. I'll see you soon." He hangs up and throws his phone on the couch so forcefully that it bounces onto the ground.

"Wanna talk about what happened?", I ask him, rubbing my thumb against his hand. He sighs. "Tour is being moved all the way to April 27th. My album release date is being pushed back by a month and is now releasing on September 23. That's good though, because I'm taking some songs off and adding some on. My team just pushed it all back so we could fix everything." "That's a good thing, though, right?", I ask. He shrugs. "Eh, kinda. It's good, because we can make it perfect, but I don't want to have to deal with the stress of coming up with new songs and recording everything. I just thought I was done with all of that, but it's fine. Andrew told me that maybe me and you could go on a little pre-tour vacation." I smile brightly. "I would love that." He chuckles. "Me, too." "Don't think about the negative of it being delayed a couple months, just think, you have months to prepare for the stress." He smirks at me.

"And I have months to do this!", he pushes me down and starts tickling my sides. I push him on the chest but he won't budge. "Shawn, stop! You know I'm ticklish!" He laughs. "Yeah, that's why I'm tickling you!" "Pppppllllleeeeeaaassseee stop, Shawn!", I yell, laughing my butt off. "Fine, but let me do this.", he says. He stops tickling me, but keeps his hands on my waist. He leans close to my face and backs up. "Sike.", he smirks. My mouth drops open wide.

"Shawn!" "What, you want a little kiss?" "Uh, yeah! Why wouldn't I?", I say. "I don't think I'm in the kissing mood right now.", he says smirking. I sit up and pull him by the shirt closer towards me. "You better be.", I say crashing our lips together.
