I go downstairs and realize a box on my coach. Shawn must have left it there by accident when coming over. I walk over towards it and realize my name is written on it. Jess.
I look at my phone and see shawn has sent me a message, "open the box."
I open it and see it's wrapped up. Why is he teasing me? I unwrap it and the soft material is so incredible. I lift it up and realize it's a white dress, as I grab the top half. A piece of paper fell out too and I picked it up. It read:
For you, Jess.
I think my heart just dropped. I ran upstairs to try the dress on. It was tight around the waist and sat in the right places as well as falling off my shoulders. It's like he's done this to hundreds of other girls, he knows what to do to make it perfect. I sat at the mirror and curled the ends of my long brown hair. I then brushed on some mascara, put some highlighter on and some lip balm. I made the extra effort and put on the nicest pearl earrings and on top of my lip balm, some nude lipgloss. Just as I get a message from shawn saying he will be there in a few minutes, I hear the doorbell ring. I run to go an open it.
"Hey- oh Jayson hi what are you doing here?"
"Oh wow Jess, you look erm, really good."
"Thank you." I say smiling slightly and looking around behind him.
"Are you going out?"
"Yeah actually Shawn should be here soon."
"You're going out with HIM?"
"Yes why? I thought we cleared this up?"
"I don't know, I feel like he's hiding something."
"And when did you make up this thought?"
"A few days ago. I just don't know if he's the right one for you. He seems dodgy."
"I think I should be the one to make that choice Jay."
"Yeah but-"
"Is that why you came here for? To tell me Shawn isn't good for me?"
"You know I'm just keeping an eye out for you."
"Well you should be happy for me."
"I am! I just, I, I-"
"You what?"
"Don't you feel anything Jess?"
"What?"
"For me."
"Jayson..." I'm so confused right now, I hope he isn't going to say what I think he's going to say.
"That night. Tell me you felt nothing."
"Listen-"
"Tell me you felt nothing and I'll go!"
"I didn't feel anything Jayson." He nods his head sharply and begins to walk back.
"Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick." He seems embarrassed in a way. I look behind him and Shawn is sitting there in his car. I don't know how long he has been there.
"Jayson come on." I say reaching out for him.
"Have a good night Jess." He says walking away.
I'm so dumb, maybe I did give him the wrong impression those two nights I spent with him. He's my best friend and I hope he hasn't made this really awkward for us now. This is going to be on my mind the whole night.

I walk over to the car and get in.
"Hey babe." He says and leans over to kiss me. "You look gorgeous." He says scanning my body and biting his lower lip.
"Thank you, I must say you look handsome too." I say whilst licking the corners of my lips.
"Did you like it?" He asks.
"I love it. It's so me." He laughs and drives off.
He turns the radio up until he realises "Mercy" is playing and he shoots it back down.
"Wow." I laugh. "Do you not like listening to your own music?"
"I do, it's just awkward to put my own music on when with other people." He said smiling.
"Can we put it on?"
"Do we have to?"
"Yes." I smirk and put the volume up. I take my phone out and decide to Snapchat this iconic moment and put it on my story as he tries to cover the camera with his hands.

We arrive at the restaurant and Shawn runs out of his car and round to the other side faster than I breathed out. He opens the door and reaches for my hand.
"Merci beaucoup." I say and he laughs."
We walk in together, with our hands connected as he rubs my thumb softly with his.

After placing our orders, he randomly comes out with something. "Do you think I deserve you?"
"What? I mean, what have I done?"
"You're just so good to me. No one has ever treated me this well." I smile softly at his words.
"Have you had a bad past experience?"
"I guess you could say that. Have you ever?"
"A few, nothing major."
"What did they do?"
"A bunch of them made a bet. Who could get me to kiss them first, knowing I was really private about things like that."
"And did you do it?" I give him a squirming facial expression. "I won't judge Jess."
"Yeah I did. It was stupid, I thought he liked me."
"They're all so stupid. I would ask you to tell me who they are but I would probably end up beating their asses." For some reason my brain kind of likes the idea of that but decides against it quickly.
"It's in the past anyway, it's fine." I smiled and he looks up behind me as our food arrives.

After we finish eating out food, we head back into the car. He turns on the engine as I presume I'm heading home. I get a message from my friend on Snapchat saying "I never knew you knew sean mendez like that!" I just opened the message and aired it. I can't deal with this. I realize the car is going the opposite direction to my house.
"Where are we going?" I ask him, confused and he just smiles at me.

We arrive a few moments later at what looks like a hotel and we both get out. As we walk to the door, I see lots of lights flashing. I really hope this isn't the paparazzi, and if it is, I feel sorry for shawn.

We enter and Shawn grabs the keys at the desk.
"Shawn? What are we doing here? I don't even have any spare clothes, toothbrush of anything."
"Don't worry, they'll have toothbrushes. I just wanted you to clear your head out." I smile slightly as we get in the elevator and he keeps looking behind to me. Our room is on the 25th floor, yes this is a huge hotel. We stand for a few seconds but shawn edges towards me.
"You're so beautiful." He says, scanning my face and tucking my hair behind my ear.
"Shawn..." I grab his chin and pull his face close to mine. I can't resist him. Our lips smash together as he bites on my lip. I try to take breaths but he's so intoxicating. His hand slides down to my waist, as the elevator door suddenly opens. We release so quickly as people walk in. It closes again as it moves up, only a few more floors to go and all you can hear is me and shawn breathing.
Floor 25 beeps as we press the button and it opens. We walk out the lift, shooting small glares at each other. We find the room and enter it, as he turns the light on. He removes his jacket and so do I, as we throw it on the bed.
"Now, where were we?" He says in a deep whisper. I smirk back at him as I walk over and push him down on the bed. He lets out a small laugh, as he sees me trying to take control. I lean over him as I stand in between his feet and I tug at his red bow tie with my teeth. I look up to see his reaction, and he is blown away already. I throw it away somewhere and unbutton only the first three buttons. I hover above him and kiss his jaw, all the way down to his neck. I get up looking at him and trace my finger over his shirt that is tight and shows his abs.
"You like that?" I ask.
"Hell yeah I do." He says wrapping his legs around my waist, forcing me to collapse on him. He rolls us over so he's on top. His lips connect mine again as he intensely kisses me.
"I want to take it slow." He tells me in between. All I let out is a "Mmmmm," agreeing to him and smiling.
He then rolls off of me and lays beside me as we look up at the ceiling.
I hug him as my head rests on his chest. I can feel his heartbeat racing. I never knew it would be like this, ever.
