THE DARE : UNVEIL THE TRUTHS ( Completed)

A smirk plays on his lips and I am already loosing it.

I know what is coming next and I don't want it specially after his ex thing.  I Know the more I'll look at him the more we'll intend to kiss and I don't want that. 

I quickly look away

" Alright I'll go with you if you promise to return me the keys " I spoke not wanting to look in his eyes. 

" Cool , I'll promise " he said placing his hand under my chin and lifting it , making me look at his face.  I simply smiled and tried to back away. 

" Whats wrong ?" He asked disappointed by me trying to get away .

" What , nothing's wrong " I replied frowning.

" Then why are trying to back away from me ? " He asked .  Because I love you but you are having your ex come over and I need to think straight. 

" I'm not " I replied trying to fake a smile but failing. 

" Yes you are , are you not comfortable with me ?" He asked.  What.

My eyes widened at his words.  Actually I am not comfortable with your ex , you know .

" Of course I am " I replied nodding.  He frowned but didn't say anything else.

"Then you knew I - we were about to kiss then why did you avoid it ?" He asked . My eyes widened at his approach with confidence but I love it. 

" I- I - I guess - I just don't feel like it right now you know , I have a little cold " I tumbled making excuse .

" Alright , Let's go " he said and I nodded.  After keeping everything in the trunk we slid in .

" You sure you wanna go , if you don't want to I understand I guess " he said. Of course I don't wanna go .

" Uh it's fine actually " I lied faking a smile again.  What all do I have to do for this guy.  I wish I wasn't in love with him .

After a few minutes of silence as we went on road he spoke

" You're gonna love her , she's a really nice person " he said.  Of course she is , I'm gonna love her so much that I'll never see her again. 

" That's great. I guess I will " I lied and the rest of the ride remained silent unlike my thoughts.  My thoughts were screaming out. 

How could Shawn be so stupid to have me to go to meet his ex when I love him but he doesn't know and still thinks of me as a friend and I want to tell him he's not just a friend to me but way more but I can't. 

The past few days I have started to admit it a little more that I'm in love which only worsens the case cause I fall for him harder.  It's so stupid to be in love with someone. All of my thoughts revolve around this stupid thing and as much as I love it , it's not me . The more I figure out the feelings , the more I realise my thinking on things are changing and I'm not the same Taylor as I once was.  Jacob was right when he said I'm not the same anymore .

My thoughts are bought back to earth when we reach the airport. 

We wait outside for her . I get tired of lookin for her since I don't even know her so I leave it on him to manage to look for her.

" There she is " he exclaimed smiling , I see a girl walking towards us , a lot of girls are but the specific one can be pulled out of the crowd.  Her proximity with us became almost minimal that's when I realised she is Lauren .

" Hi " the girl greeted Shawn much nicely and Hugging him instantly and Shawn wasn't in denial. Why would he ?!

" Hi , thanks a lot for coming " Shawn smiled after greetings.

" It alright " she replied smiling. 
She's that pretty ex that your crush has and you want to be so much like her or you just end up hating her.  Even though I have no right to hate on her but I still do because she looks like one of the bitchy types . No wonder she's pretty and beautiful and of course she has got that perfect body that a girl wants.  Not saying I am jealous of her but she is pretty . No wonder Shawn really loved her. 

" You bought your girlfriend Shawn that's so sweet " she smiled . Why is there written huge bitch on her face that only I can see. 

" She's not my girlfriend "
" We're not dating "
We both spoke simultaneously .

" Oh , anyway I am Lauren Shawn's friend or say ex " she said

" Hi I'm Taylor , his friend " I introduced myself.

" So let's leave " Shawn said after our small greet. 

" It's nice to see you both , by the way you two would make a nice couple " she said , and almost for a minute I liked what she said until truth hit me hard because Shawn and I can't be anything.

" We're not each other's type " Shawn Replied which I felt was from his side.  Really ?! He thinks that. 

The slightest hope that I might had that Shawn and I could be something is gone , gone for good for him and bad for me . I knew it from the start , we are not each other's type but that's what made me fall for him . Look at him , he's nice , good looking , simple and look at me stupid , rude and everything that Lauren isn't. 

" We shall leave , I've got some work" I spoke I Interrupting the silence. 

We soon pulled in my driveway and I was glad because I felt like the third wheel but that's true, I am and always will be the third wheel between Shawn and anyone. 

" You're coming for the Christmas Eve party right ?" Shawn asked before I got out.  As if it mattered. 

" I'll let you know " I smiled and got out.  I started walking towards my apartment when I heard the car door shut and I turned around to see Shawn following me. 

" Taylor ?" He spoke as he approached me and I stopped. 

" Yeah ?" I asked

" Are you alright ?" He asked with concern .

" What could be Wrong ?" I replied.  Everything. 

" Yeah but you seemed different the entire drive " he said.  Yeah cause we had your ex in between. 

" It's nothing like that " I replied smiling. 

" Alright but promise me you'd be at that Christmas eve party ?" He asked .

" I don't know yet.  I'll see " I replied. 

" Please , for me " he said and every ounce of my heart melted. 

What have I gotten myself into ?!
