I sighed as I zipped my very full suitcase. I have completely finished packing with little time to spare. Shawn said he'd be here to get me at noon and its five till.

"Thank you for helping me." I thanked Alexis.

"Of course. What am I going to do without you for five days?" She pouted.

"You'll survive." I laughed.

We dragged my bags down the stairs to my front door just in time to hear a car horn honk outside my door.

I glanced through my window to see a black car waiting with its trunk open for me.

"Well, I'll see you soon!" I said as I turned to hug Alexis.

"Let me know how everything goes with you two and have fun."

Alexis is the only person that knows about what happened when Shawn and I filmed the music video.

"I will, love you." I said with a nervous expression.

"Love you!" She shouted giving me a wave as I started out the door.

I pulled my suitcase down the driveway and made my way to the car. The driver helped me put my bags in the car then I hopped in the backseat with Shawn.

"Are you ready?" He smirked.

"I can't wait."

"Elle? Wake up." I heard someone whisper in my ear.

I blinked my eyes rapidly and picked up my head. I blushed once I realized I had fallen asleep on Shawns shoulder.

"Sorry." I awkwardly giggled.

"It's fine." He said with almost a smirk.

"We landed." He said as he opened the blinds that were drawn over the window.

I gazed out the window in awe of how beautiful it was. I cannot believe we are here.

"Woah, this place is amazing." I said in awe as I walked into my room at the resort.

"I know, I did good." Shawn winked.

"You did." I agreed as I walked out onto my personal balcony that put the beach on a beautiful display.

"Let's grab dinner after I change?" Shawn suggested.

I nodded in agreement then he went to his room, which was located directly next to mine, to change.

Within a few minutes we both changed into more appropriate clothes and headed to a cute beachy diner for dinner.

"This is so cute!" I squeled as we were seated at our table.

I looked around at the vibrant colors coating the walls and watched as the live mariachi band played spanish music. I love it here.

We placed our orders and sat as we watched them play. The music sped up and a few people got up to dance.

"May I have the pleasure?" Shawn asked with a sly eyebrow raised.

I looked at him shocked that he was asking me to dance. I glanced back at the dance floor that had a few people dancing before nodding. Shawn extended his hand down to me. I took it as I stood up from my seat and followed him to the dance floor.

He wrapped an arm around my waist as he took my hand with the other. We began to dance swiftly. He really swept me off my feet. In this moment I felt as if he and I were the only two in the whole world. We danced until the song concluded, not breaking eye contact once.

As the song finished Shawn dipped me. We stayed there, faces inches apart from one anothers, staring into each others eyes. I felt him start to lean in, making my heart start to beat extremely fast.

That's when we were interrupted by clapping. Everyone in the restaurant was clapping for us, for our dancing. I looked at him startled at first, but quickly stood up and got out of his arms.

I blushed and looked down at the ground due to what just happened and all the people who witnessed it. Shawn grabbed my hand and bowed. I giggled as I joined him in bowing.

We returned to our table silently. Throughout the whole dinner we didn't speak a word about how he was about to kiss me. We acted as though nothing even happened.

When will we finally talk about whatevers going on between us? This is driving me crazy.

As we walked back to the resort I continued to hum the tune that the band played at dinner. I couldn't get it out of my head. It would make for a really good beat in a song.
