I shake out of my thoughts and notice my phone ringing. I grunt while sitting up, out of breath, reaching up for my phone to see Shawn calling.
"Hello?" I ask, composing myself.
"Hey Brielle. I'm here." Shawn says. I feel my stomach flutter and a small smile appears on my face.
Are you crushing on him?
He'll never like you anyways.
"Ok I'll be right out." I say. We end the call and I stand up, feeling my back sore from the hardwood floor. I wince but stand up straight and grab two water bottles, one for me and one for Shawn.
I jog out to his car and smile while stepping into the passenger seat.
"You ready?" He asks and I scoff playfully.
"Mendes I was born ready." I smirk and he chuckles, driving off. When I look down at my legs I notice a small small gap between my thighs.
Progress
"So where do you usually run? I usually go to the reservation but if you go somewhere else I'm down." Shawn says, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turn to him with a small nod.
"The reservations good. I usually go to the lake but I wanna switch it up." I say and he nods.
"Ok. How many miles do you do usually?" He asks.
"Uhh around 6." I shrug. "Maybe 7." I say and he turns to me quickly before back to the road.
"6? 7? Didn't realize I was in the car with a pro runner over here." He jokes and I laugh it off. "But actually I'm not sure I'll survive that." He adds focusing on the road.
"Ok then why don't we do 3 and just walk the other 3?" I ask and he nods.
"Sounds good to me." He smiles glancing at me before turning back forwards.
Most of the car rides with him have consisted of light music playing in the background, but this time he turned up the radio and a familiar song rang through my ears.
"Oh my gosh, I love this song." I coo and see Shawn's smile brighten from the corner of my eye.
"You like John Mayer?"
"Like? More like love." I say and he turns it up a bit more.
The two of us sang along to Gravity while pulling into the reservation lot. We got out of car then began jogging up to the trail.
"So Brielle I know we've been over this a few times but I feel like the answers were a bit half ass so we'll try it again. Tell me about yourself." He says and I blush a bit.
He wants to get to know you
"What do you want to know?" I ask and he turns to me with a dumb smirk.
"Everything."
"Alright well my name is Brielle. I-"
"Full name please!" Shawn cuts off, pretending to sound like he has authority. I scoff playfully before we both laugh and speed up our steps along the trail.
"My full name is Brielle Hope Stevens. I... Shawn I'm really not that interested." I say and he groans.
"Alright fine. I'll tell you about me and you'll either agree, disagree or tell me your interest ok?" He asks and I nod.
"Ok well my name is Shawn peter Raul mendes."
"Peter Raul?" I ask and he chuckles nodding.
"Everyone always does that. You got a problem with my middle names?" He asks playfully glaring, yet not being able to take the smile off his face.
