DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [100]

All of us are pretty exhausted when we went out of the water. Skins are a little red and dry. It's a little stingy but it was fun. Sand's sticking on our feet and legs, the wind blows slightly and it's already freezing. Everybody grabbed their towels until there was one more left. As I was about to grab it small folding table, someone snatched it first. I look to the person in surprise and the snatcher is no other than Shawn. He laughs cutely at my face as he unfolds it.

"Need a towel?" He asks.

"I'm fine Shawn, I'm just gonna go ask Tippy if I could borrow hers."

As I was about to walk away, a nice dry and warm soft fabric covered my shoulders.

"You can have mine." He mumbles as he fixes the towel on my body.

"I'm okay Shawn. I can ask—"

"You already have mine, what're you still going to ask her?"

I shake my head, "I guess.. nothing. But.. what about you? You need to dry yourself too."

"It's my problem and I don't want you to worry 'bout me. Just get dressed and be ready.."

"Be ready?"

"Enough with the questions and just prepare yourself. Okay?" He gave me a smile and a soft pinch on the cheek, "See you later." He then walks away.

I pucker my lips as I think, what does he mean? But the pucker turned into a delight. That pinch on my cheek made my heart flutter so high in the sky.

"May!" Tippy yells, "We're gonna take a shower! You coming or what?"

I run to her and asked in wonder, "There's a shower here?!"

"Of course! Duh!" Tippy says and we all laughed.

"I'm curious. I thought we were in the middle of nowhere."

"May, this is a beach and people would often go here. We're just lucky the people are busy with their lives and we look like we colonized this place."

"Kay Tips, by the way, where's Louie and Acer?"

"They went to the Men's shower room, obviously." Lori says, "Your boyfriend is missing, probably the three of them are showering together."

"Yeah, imagine them naked. Oh my god." Miranda says.

"Hey, stop that." I said, "That's.. inappropriate."

"Is it?" They teases, "Is it inappropriate, May?"

"O—Of course!"

They laugh at my face like they don't believe what I'm saying. I let it go with a smile, realizing that I saw his body numerous times.

We got into this very small room enough for 3 people inside to wash and rinse themselves. Tippy, Lori and I was left outside to wait for them to finish but I wonder where Yuna and Talia is. I haven't seen them, nor Luke.

"Hey, you guys seen Yuna around this morning?" I ask.

"No, I actually didn't see her come out of her tent." Lori says.
