Chapter 33

I was shocked at the piece of paper that sat in front of me, I felt like I couldn't move.

"Shawn," I said and he stopped me before I could say anything.

"Look I know you didn't want my help,"

"That's right I didn't, you seriously did not have to do this." I interrupted and took a deep breath in. "I specifically told you Shawn not to get into this, it is normal for me to provide for my family and this is way too much money for you to pay."

"Nicole, I did it to help you, I didn't mean to make you mad." He said and I shook my head. "I knew you were having trouble and I am the one who is capable of helping you."

"And you're saying I'm not capable of helping myself and my brothers? Last time I checked before you came in the picture I was doing perfectly fine." I said and I stood up, walking out of the cafe. I heard the door close behind me and later the door opened, footsteps following the sound of the door closing again.

"Nicole, come back." He said and I kept walking, not knowing where to go. As I kept waking I suddenly felt Shawn grab my arm, turning me around to face him. "Nicole I didn't mean it like that."

"You sure about that?" I questioned and he sighed.

"Look, I just wanted to help you so you wouldn't have to worry that much about the rent and maybe you can start saving up." He said and I looked down at the ground. He's right. I'm the idiot in this situation.

"I'm such an idiot." I shook my head. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry hun, I understand where you're coming from."

"I'm just not used to this, I'm not used to having he help." I sighed. "Thank you, so much, I am so grateful to have you in my life Mendes."

"Look, just know I will always be here, for whatever you need regardless of how much money or what it is." He smiled.

"I love you Shawn, I really do."

"I love you too." He smiled and placed a soft kiss on my lips. He extended out his hand, signaling for me to hold it, and I grabbed it, our fingers intertwining. We walked back to his car and he opened the door for me, allowing me to get in. He ran to the other side and got in, starting the car once we each put on our seatbelt.

"We still have some time to kill before picking up your brothers, what do you want to do?"

"Hm I have no clue." I shrugged. "Want to go back to my place and watch a movie or?"

"We can also go to my place too if you want, my mom asked me about you." He chuckled and I smiled.

"You're lucky your face doesn't look at beat up anymore." I chuckled.

"Very true."

"Let's go then." I said and he nodded as he smiled.

The car ride took about twenty-five minutes and we finally arrived at Shawn's cozy home. We walked in and we were greeted by the warmth of the heater. Shawn and I took our shoes off at the door and we walked towards the kitchen. Shawn grabbed two bottle of waters and grabbed a bag of microwavable popcorn.

"Want some?"

"Sure, thanks babe."

He placed the popcorn in the microwave, setting the time as I took a sip of my water.

"Shawn is that you?" Karen came down the stairs.

"Hey mom!" He said and walked towards her with his arms open, embracing her in a hug. I smiled and walked up behind them.

"Nicole! It's so nice to see you again!" She smiled and she wrapped her arms around me as I hugged her back.

"It's nice to see you too!" I smiled and Shawn walked back into the kitchen once the alarm for the popcorn went off.

"How have you been?" She asked as we both sat down.

"I've been good, especially now that Shawn is back." I smiled. "And you?"

"I'm good, enjoying time with the family before Shawn leaves again. So what did you guys do today?"

"We went to breakfast and the town center to look at the shops." Shawn came in and sat down with us with a bowl of popcorn.

"Was breakfast good?"

"It was great." I smiled.

"Alright I'm going to go run some errands, I'll leave you two to it. Text me if you need anything from the store Shawn" She smiled and hugged me again before grabbing her keys and purse and walking out the front door. We walked to the living room and Shawn sat down on the huge bean bag that was near the center of the living room.

"That thing is huge." I laughed and he patted the spot next to him. I sat down and we both sunk into the bean bag, both of us chuckling at how funny it was. He turned on the tv and scrolled through Netflix, finally deciding on watching Tarzan. He set the remote down and placed the bowl of popcorn in between us. He later then put his right arm around me, pulling me closer to him as I ate some popcorn. 

We watched the movie in silence and Shawn had rested his hand on my thigh, rubbing circles with his thumb. I rested my head on his shoulder and he rested his on my head after placing a kiss on my forehead. 

"I'm pretty sure I know this movie by heart." 

"Because of your bother?" He chuckled. 

"That and I just like watching Disney movies." I shrugged, making him laugh. He put his hand higher on my thigh and I grabbed it, smirking. 

"Mendes." I taunted and I looked up to see him smirking. 

"What did I do?" 

"Hm nothing." I smiled and shifted my legs and body away from him. He snickered as he tried to pull my thighs towards him, but I didn't budge.

"Nicole." 

"Yes Shawn?" 

"Would you care to come closer?" 

"No, actually you know what, I'm going to go sit on the couch over there." I pointed to the couch across from us and got up, about to walk over to the couch when he grabbed me by the waist making me squeal. 

"You're not going anywhere." He said and pinned my down on the bean bag, on top of me. 

"But Shawn."  I pouted and he shook his head, laughing. 

"No buts." 

"Yeah, only your butt." I said and I smacked his ass, making me laugh.

"Nicole!" He groaned. "Why do you like smacking my ass so much." 

"You have a nice butt." I shrugged while we both laughed. He laid back down and I took this chance to run to the other couch before he could chase me. He got up and I ran away from him laughing. We made it upstairs and we both fell onto his bed, but this time I pinned him down. He rested his hands on my waist and I laid my body down on him so I was hugging him completely. I nuzzled my head in between his neck and shoulder when suddenly he slapped my ass, hard. 

"Ow!" I yelled and he laughed. "That hurt, jeez." 

"You deserved it." 

"Rude." 

"You can't say you didn't like it though." 

"Don't get too cocky pop star." I rolled my eyes. "I know you like it when I do this." 

I lifted my head and began to place kisses along his neck, sucking every once in a while, trying to leave my mark. I continued to kiss him and I went the other side of his neck before moving my hands up to his hair, running my fingers through his small curls. I kept kissing him, knowing he was enjoying it, and I moved my lips towards his. He leaned forward and just as we were about to meet, I placed my finger on his lips and smiled, teasing him 

"Let's go finish the movie." I said and got off of him, walking away.

"You're such a tease Nicole!" He yelled as I walked downstairs with a victorious smile on my face.
