Erika's perspective

"Thank you guys, for taking time from the last hours of your weekend. I'm very excited to see what we'll accomplish and if I can actually teach you anything," he smiled, that smile you smile, when you try to hold back a laugh.

He was adorable.

The room was filled with applause and people started to pack their things down and leave, before they had to be here again tomorrow.
I on the other hand was a slow writer and tried to finish off my notes. Apparently it had taken me so long, that every student and mostly all teachers had left. Expect a few who was talking to Charlie, probably about the following week.

"Hi, it's Erika right?" Charlie asked and was suddenly standing in front of me, and not in the other end of the room.

"Um yeah, hi," I answered and wrote the last word.

"I'm surprised to see you here," he admitted and made my facial expression turn into a confused one.

"Why?" I laughed, but I was still a bit confused.

"I just assumed you would've attended a school like Canada Music Academy or Academy Of Music," Charlie responded, just like Shawn had said earlier this weekend.

"Funny, that's what Shawn said as well," I responded and pack the last things in my bag.

"Guess we're both a bit judgmental then?" Charlie laughed and made me smile slightly.

"Aren't we all?"

"We shouldn't be tho," Charlie stated and I nodded in agreement.

"So, do you need a ride back to Shawn's?" He asked and snored his keys around his finger.

"It's okay, I'll just take the bus," I responded politely.

"I'm not letting you, take the bus by this hour," Charlie started, "let's go," he finished and I gave in and walked out with him.

"Thanks for the ride Charlie," I smiled and crawled out of his sports car.

"No problem Erika," he smiled.

"Good night, Charlie."

"I'll see ya tomorrow, oh and say hi to Shawn from me," I nodded and Charlie took of. I walked into the building Shawn lived in and was greeted by the doorman.

"Miss, Shawn isn't home just yet," he said with a slight confused look on his face.

"Oh, did he say anything about when he would be back?"

"All he said was that he had to run some errands."

"Oh okay, guess I'll just wait for him here."

I had no idea about, how long I had to wait for him, nor did I know what errands he had to run, I wasn't away for more than 2 hours - Shawn knew that.
It was also getting extremely late, what could he possibly be doing by this hour?
Because it was this late, I was struggling to stay awake and my vision got blurrier and blurrier. But what my blurry sight did catch, was a rather large figure saying goodbye to a rather small one. I did not think much of it, until the large figure showed up right in front of me.

"Who was that girl?" I mumbled before I was picked up by Shawn's strong arms.

"I think you're seeing things love," he slightly laughed and placed a kiss on my forehead.

It did not take Shawn long, to carry me all the way up to his apartment. He gently laid me down on his king sized bed.

"Do you need anything?" Shawn asked and stroked my hair.

"No, I just wanna sleep," I mumbled and tried to pull his body that was sitting next to me, closer to me - which made him laugh.

"Let's get you underdressed," he smiled and pulled me up from the bed and took of my boots.

"Remember the last time you wanted to underdress me? That was the first time I admitted how much you meant to me," I slurred out and watched him be such a dad to me. (Don't y'all dare to say anything, such as daddy Mendes or what so ever)
For some reason an expression of guilt flushed over Shawn's face, for a few seconds before he smiled at me.

"I do yeah, that was also the first time you saw me cry," he laughed and made me smile - I was too tired to laugh at the moment.

"Shawn?"

"Erika," he said and pulled of his hoodie and his black skinny jeans.

"Can I stay here... with you? I don't wanna go back to my dorm," I asked with a small voice. Once again Shawn had to think for a second, before he could give me a genially reaction.
After a few seconds, he gave me a reward winning smile and pulled me down on the bed.

"Of course you can! You can stay here as long as you feel like, with or without me here! This is just as much yours, as it is mine."

"Okay let's not go overboard now," I giggled while I cringed a bit over what he just said. Shawn ignored me and grabbed my face only to lock his lips with mine. Shawn was older than me, yes, but he was for sure the one to be the least mature from time to times. He placed kisses all over my face.

"Okay tell me, who is going to teach you this entire week?"

"Your friend Charlie Puth," I smiled at him and rested my head on his firm chest.

"Was he the one to take you back home?" Shawn asked, and sounded a bit jealous and insecure.

"Yes he was, and I should say hi from him as well," I could feel Shawn nod his head, following up with a kiss on my head.
