"Is this where you live?" I ask in disbelieve. His house is huge! And by huge I mean really, really huge!

He really has everything he wants.

"Yep. Let's go inside!" Shawn says and walks us to the front door.

I am just shocked by the size the house he lives in and how everything is arranged. There are a few steps before coming right in front with the door which is covered in cored glass. It's beautiful.

"I'm home!" Shawn shouts as we walked through the door then in the giant living room.

"Oh thank god!" I hear a voice coming up from the long and beautiful stairs that lead to the second floor. We all look up and a tall girl with long brown hair appears at the top. "You've gotta come and kill this spider Shawn!" She says, her facial expression terrified as she carefully walks down the stairs. "Oh hey there!" She waves at me and Emma.

"Rose and Emma this is Aalyiah, my sister. Aalyiah this is Rose and Emma!" Shawn introduced us to his sister and we shook hands.

"Shawn, now come get the spider!" She whisper.

"Coming sis."

When I agreed to come over at Shawn's house I only said for a little bit. Well, our "a little bit" turned into a whole more than a little.

It is now 10pm and we are still at his house.
I should probably call it dream house!

"You and your sister are really nice!" Aalyiah says as we are sitting in her room doing some fort of DIY decoration for her room.

My sister and Shawn were doing something else downstairs. She helped him arrange some books on the shelves and now they are doing some puzzle that apparently Shawn was struggling with.
Emma loves doing puzzles.

"You must mean something to Shawn." Aaliyah says folding a colored paper. I quickly look up at her and then shaking my head.

"What do you mean?" I furrow my eyebrows while looking down at the papers that I'm cutting.

"Well. Last time he invited a girl over, it ended up pretty bad." Aaliyah laughs.

"How bad?"

"He accidentally spilled milk over her then when she tried to get a towel and clean herself she slipped and fractured her elbow." My eyebrows raise and my mouth drops. "After that she never came over our house again. And also Shawn didn't have the courage to invite any girls over." She finished up laughing. I don't know why but I did too.

"Sorry. But this is too funny, even though I feel so sorry for that girl." I say between my laughter.

"It's okay. I didn't really like her though. You are much nicer, sweeter and prettier than her."

"Haha, thanks." I reply. She was actually really nice and sweet and pretty too! Okay, now I am just copying her words. But she really is! Her and Shawn just amaze me at how alike they look.

After we finished the decorations Aaliyah and I headed downstairs to see what the other two are doing.

As we get in the living room I spot Shawn and Emma under the coffee table while all their puzzle pieces are still on the table. What in the world?

"What are you guys doing?" I bend down amused and look under the table. I start laughing and same does Aaliyah.

"We lost some puzzle pieces and now we are trying to find them." Shawn says trying to stand up but fails as he hits his head up against the table. He sights and a groan comes out of his mouth. "Ouch."

"S-Shawn are you okay?" I say laughing now even harder than before. Not being able to have control over my laugh I fall down and literally start rolling on the floor. His face looked so innocent and how his cheeks got red after he stood up, I just couldn't take it anymore.

"Yeah, yeah. Keep laughing." He says massaging his head in the spot where he hit it. He gets up and starts walking towards the kitchen. "Just leave it Emma, I'll find the pieces later." He yells. I look over at her and she giggles .

Just as I look side ways I see a clock placed on one of the walls. "It's almost twelve o'clock!" I say out loud just as I realized how late it is. "We gotta go." I say standing up from the floor and walking towards the kitchen where Shawn went.

As I am walking so fast and make a turn to the right I bump into someone and I gasp as I feel some kind of cold liquid spill all over me, soaking into my clothes. By the smell it has, I'm guessing it's orange juice. Without any words I just stand there processing what just happened. Looking up I see a panicked Shawn standing in front of me.

I just guess today is my lucky day. Am I right?
First the cotton candy, then the ice cream and now some orange juice? Of well. It's not like it's the end of the world so there shouldn't be a problem.

"Gosh. Rose. I am so sorry." Shawn says tugging at the roots of his hair.

"It's fine Shawn." I smile trying to at least wipe some of the juice off.

"Look I didn't mean to! It is all my fault." He says quickly and then runs back in the kitchen and brings me a towel. He starts wiping all of the juice out of my tank top and I smile at him placing my hands on top of his.

"Shawn. I can do it myself." I kindly say and he lets go of the towel so I can take it. I could see the worry on his face. He acted as if this was the worst thing in the world that he had ever done. Well I bet it was terrifying to him, since the last time this happened it didn't end up very well, but I'm not like that. He hasn't done anything wrong. People make little mistakes all the time but we should always forgive each other, no matter if the mistake was intentional or unintentional. You can't just leave someone or blame on them just because they accidentally spilled something on you.

After I finish cleaning myself I go over to Shawn who is now sitting at the big dining table. As soon as he sees me coming he stands up from his chair and walks over to me while running a hand through his hair in frustration. I look up at him but he avoids eye contact.

"Shawn everything-" I start saying but he cuts me off.

"Look Rose. I am really sorry for spilling juice all over you. It was my fault for not looking where I was going and- " now I cut him off by placing my hands on his cheeks and lifting his head up so he can look me in the eyes. I take a deep breath.

"Shawn. Look at me. You haven't done anything wrong. A little juice won't kill me and it definitely won't me angry at you. It wasn't only your fault, I wasn't looking where I was going either." I smile trying to show him kindness. "You have nothing to worry about." I finish my words and he just looks at me.

"Aww...." I hear behind us. Turning around I see Emma and Aaliyah -dreamlike- looking at us. I roll my eyes and look back at Shawn.

He gives me a smile then opens his arms taking me into a warm hug.

"Thank you." He whispers while his arms are still embracing my small body.
