Aria's POV:
You know that moment when you just can't move no matter how hard you try ? You're paralysed. There are butterflies in your stomach and you feel like flying high up in the sky. The moment when you feel that you've achieved everything.
Because same.
Shawn's breath was fanning against my ear and my heart was beating so fast that he could definitely hear it.
Slowly, I turned to face him, making an eye contact but gosh he was tall. A genuine smile automatically appeared on my face when I looked at him staring down at me with such happiness and...... love.
"Hi." He whispered.
"Hi." I whispered shyly and he flashed a toothy grin which made me melt. What the hell was exactly happening to me? How come I got so shy around a boy.
But Shawn wasn't a random boy.
He was someone really special, someone really close to my heart since 10 years.
Suddenly, Shawn embraced me into a bone crushing hug. "I missed you so freaking much Aria, oh my Aria." I was taken back with his words but I gathered myself and hugged him back.
"I missed you too," my hug tightened "so much."
"You still smell the same." I feel him inhaling lazily. "Same heart stealing fragrance. Roses and coffee." I chuckled into his chest.
As soon as we drifted apart I asked. "Why didn't you try to contact me in those 10 years." I was angry and sad on this. "You could've make one call or message or maybe you could come to my hou-"
"Shh." Shawn smiled, placing his index finger on my lips. "Easy there sweetness." He laughed. "I did contact you," he smirked. "No?"
I rolled my eyes at this.
"Yeah right. Mr oh so unknown aka Shawn-" my eyes widened as I realised something. "You-" I hit him. "Wait, you're Cameron's cousin!" Shawn smiled widely. "Oh my-!" I stepped back. "You're his cousin and you were here all this time and- what the hell? ! How come I never get to know about you?" It was so confusing honestly.
Because if he was Cameron's cousin and he planned this all it was actually easy because yeah I was Cameron's best friend and he didn't tell Cameron about it or.... Cameron always knew about all of it.
My palms slammed on my mouth when Shawn gave me a knowing smile. Probably agreeing with my thoughts. "He knew?! Don't tell me he knew." I warned.
"C'mon, it wouldn't be possible without my cousin's help. Or, would it?" Shawn reasoned so innocently.
"Excuse me mister," I pointed my finger at him. "I literally spend so many sleepless nights trying to find who were- was!.. you!" I screeched.
"Aww, really?" Shawn cooed.
"Whaaa- what the hell!" I whined. "That's not fair. He should have told me. I'll kill him." I murmured the last part but Shawn seem to hear me.
He just smiled.
"I'm so happy I finally get to meet you. At last." He whispered. "Although I wanted to play for more time." He bit his lips playfully.
"You're a jerk."
"Better than being a creepy old guy. No?"
"Hell yeah!"
We both laughed.

Shawn and I were walking hand in hand and the white rose he gave me was in my right hand hand. The guitar pendant was in my next and Shawn had his childhood pic in his other hand. "I look so chubby. Damm."
"Cute." I corrected, staring down at the pic.
I looked up when Shawn didn't say anything. He was smirking down at me. "What?" I questioned.
He continued smirking.
"Whaaat?" I asked loudly, laughing.
"You look so cute admiring me like that, Aria." He answered. I rolled my eyes playfully. "And..... what about now?" He grinned. "I became so handsome."
"You," I stopped in front of him "are so.... so, self obsessed and a flirt!" I complained, whining. "Why are you such a flirt?"
"What did I do?" He asked, taken back. "C'mon! I didn't even kiss you."
My eyes widened. Shawn stopped and stared at me. His brow raised before he gave me that evil smile. "Oh no, stay away!"
"Ah won't you give a kiss to your first love?" Shawn began to run after me.
"Shawn no!" He was after me. "Hey- no!" He picked me. I laughed in his arms. "Put me down!" I tried to sound serious. "Shawn," I warned "put me down." I gave him a serious look.
"Uh," he thought. "No. Not a chance." He spun around and my hold on his neck tightened.
"Ahhh." We both were laughing. Happily laughing.
He stopped and stared into my eyes.
I blinked in nervousness. Shawn's face drew closer to my face and I closed my eyes. Such a nervous wreck I'm.
Don't kiss me.
Kiss Me.
Wait no! Don't please.
I felt his lips touching my ear before he whispered. "It's quite late. Let's get you home now princess."
And this was my Shawn.
The boy who helped me since the very first time we met.
The boy I fell in love with at first sight.
My first love.
My last love.
