12. Birthday 'cake'

<Destiny>
What do I do?

Where do I look?

How do I react?

My brain freaked out as I found myself in a position that had my insides screaming. How did this happen? I do not know. We just looked at each other and didn't look away and the next thing I knew was our faces only inches apart and Shawn staring at my lips. I know we've been here before but apart from that, I'm just a potato. How am I supposed to know what to do? Do I stare back? I looked at his lips as a small smirk appeared on them and I couldn't help but smirk back. He leaned in and I just went with the flow and closed the gap between us. Butterfly's were created in my stomach and an unexplainable feeling was formed. Maybe I should also tell you that I haven't kissed a lot of people so I couldn't help but think that I was doing something wrong but it just felt so right. I tangled my fingers in his hair as he held my cheeks in his big hands. I wanted it to last forever but unfortunately, he let go of the kiss. I subconsciously frowned; Shawn noticed it and chuckled. "Was that not enough?"

"W-what no, I mean y-yes... It's okay." I stuttered and felt my face heat up.

"I only did it because you had been staring at me for the past twenty-five minutes and I couldn't focus on the movie." He grinned.

"That's the only reason?"

"No and because- hold on Andrew's calling." Shawn said and picked up his phone from the nightstand.

"Hello?.... Mhm. Thank you, I am going to be an old man haha. Tomorrow?.. I will... Yep I'm good.... Perfect, thank you, bye."

"What did he say?" I asked curiously.

"Tomorrow is August 8th, isn't it?"

"Mhm."

"Well that's my birthday and Andrew's got things planned apparently. You're coming with me."

"What? Woah, you're gonna be... twenty? Hold up what's the time?" I checked the time on the laptop and saw that it was 11:57 pm. "Holy crap, this giraffe next to me is going to be twenty in three minutes!" I shot up and went to the fridge in search of something I could use as a birthday 'cake.'

"What are you doing?" He laughed and watched me like I was crazy.

"You will see." I said and closed the fridge, that had nothing but an endless supply of water bottles, and got ahold of a muffin on the counter. I stuck a Cadbury chocolate finger, from the snack pile on the bed, into the muffin and was about to give it to him before I realised that one chocolate finger meant he was one years old but there was no way I was going to fit twenty sticks of chocolate onto a muffin.

"Um wait, you're not eating this until it's midnight." I checked the time once again and saw that it was 11:59. Shawn stared at me like I as a maniac and put both of his hands behind his head revealing his hairy armpits. He did have a huge smile on his face though so he can't hate me too much. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU ARE NOW ONE YEAR CLOSER TO DEATH!" I yelled and passed him his muffin.

"It's okay, I'm only one but thank you. This is all I have ever wanted!"

"I know! That's why I made it for you." I playfully rolled my eyes as he took a bite out of the chocolate finger not bothering to take it out of the muffin. "In all seriousness, you could have told me sooner. I would have gotten you something." I said and sat down in front of him.

"Because I don't need anything. Having you around is everything to me." He looked up at me from his muffin.

"Stop it, you." I blushed. If I got a penny for every time this man had made me blush I'd be richer than Bill Gates right now.
