My brother's best friend

Chapter 2 - Shawn

"What did you mean by: make that for 3?" I yell. There is no answer. What is that supposed to mean?

Is he bringing a girl home for the first time? Oh my god. I hope not. I'm not ready for that. I don't want some random girl to show up in here..

Ignoring the whole "make that for 3" situation. I go to the living-room with my tea and I start a movie.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door, I stop the movie and I go to check who that might be.

I open the door to see Fred. Fred is our neighbor.

"Hello Mr. Ronalds , is everything ok?" I ask. He never comes over to our house. Only when something is wrong. Or when he forget to buy an ingredient for his wife's cake that she makes on a daily basis.

"Yes yes, I just wanted to ask you for some sugar. My wife is making a cake and we forgot to buy sugar" he says. Obviously. What else could it be?

"Yes Of course" I say. I open the door for him so he could walk in while I go to the kitchen and I grab the sugar from the top shelf.

"Here you go" I say and I bring him the sugar.

"Thank you very much" He replies. He takes the sugar and he walks out of the door back to his house.

Fred is such a nice man. So is his wife. They are a very sweet couple. His wife makes a lot of cakes and she comes every week to bring us some. As I said, they are very sweet.

I wonder how old they are..? I think they're at their 50's or so. They are not very old. they are a bit older than my parents. So I think they are at their 50's.. mom is 48 and dad is 49.

I go back to the couch and drink another sip of my tea. It's a bit cold, not hot as I like it but it's still good. I press play and I continue watching the movie.

A couple minutes later There is another knock on the door. What did he forget? does he need more sugar? Haven't I brought him enough? I stop the movie again and I go to open the door.

"Yes Mr. R—" I say as I open the door, oh my god. I'm shook to see, that the person in front of me isn't Fred as I expected it to be, but Shawn is.

I'm staring at him, not knowing what to say. Oh my god! Is this real? Is Shawn really standing in front of me right now?

"Shawn?!" I say confused letting words finally get out of my mouth. I try to stay calm. It's very hard.

"Hi what's up?" He says with his amazing smile. What...? I smile back at him and he gives me a hug. Oh my god! Is this really happening?! I try to not over smile but, as you know me, I fail. "Is Lucas here?"

Of course. I haven't seen Shawn in about a year now, and all he has to say is, "is Lucas here?" My smile slowly fades away.

"Yeah, He is in his room" I say. And I point at Lucas's room.

Shawn walks right by me and I can smell his perfume... oh wow. That smell... oh wow. I missed that smell.

He goes to Lucas's room without saying another word like I don't exist. Oh wow, I see him walking by and I have to admit Shawn got really hot. I didn't remember him like that. And I swear he got taller. If that's even impossible..

How did Shawn even get our address? Maybe Lucas told him? I didn't know they are still in touch. I know they are best friends but still, I had no idea.

Confused, I go back to watch my movie. I'm not quite sure if this really happened or not. Am I dreaming? Is this all in my head? Shawn can't actually be here.. right? This is crazy.

ok so I stop the movie once more and I go to Lucas's room to check if Shawn is actually there, maybe I am dreaming... I have to make sure this is real. Before I'll get really excited and overjoyed. I can't believe Shawn is actually here!

I open the door to Lucas's room and I see only Lucas on his bed at his phone

"Can I help you?" He asks with an irritated look.

"No... never mind. I'm good" I say. I slowly walk out of the room and I swear I saw Shawn. hugging him felt so real. What is happening? Am I having a concoction?

I go back to the couch. My tea is now cold. I continue watching my movie and I try to forget about what just happened..  maybe it was all in my head. Maybe I just wished he were here so I imagined him.

"So Lucas said your making us some pasta for dinner. Sounds good" Shawn walks out of the bathroom and sits on the couch next to me.

Wait... I think I'm dreaming again.

As he sits downs he moved the whole couch almost getting me to spill my tea all over my Pajamas. And those are my favorite Pajamas.

"What are we watching?" He asks. He looks at me waiting for me to say something but I'm completely speechless. He is so handsome and he smells so good.. I'm just, I'm frozen.

"B? Are you ok?" He asks. Oh.... he remembered.. Ok so I'll explain. He calls me B because when we were younger we had this joke about... oh wow I can't even remember it was about 10 years ago... So yeah he just calls me B. It's funny, I think.

I don't know what to answer him. I'm like 90% sure I'm still dreaming.
