Shourtney AU - Loving So Hard (Mature)

#50 - Acting Strange

*Courtney*

Shayne and I were loving life, to be frank. Waking up every morning next to him, in the bed that we built, in a room that we decorated, in the house that he bought, was truly an indescribable feeling. However, one morning was different, and at the time I wasn't sure why...

Countless beams of sunlight pierced through the white curtains in our bedroom, illuminating the room and shining down upon myself and my boyfriend. Our bodies intertwined beneath the sheets, with everything other than our heads being concealed. I ran my fingers through Shayne's soft blonde hair, and a sleepy smile stretched across his lips. I smirked, before kissing his handsome face more delicately than ever.

"Wake up, sleepy-head," I whispered.

Shayne grinned and blindly wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled me down to lay atop him. Our lips connected and when we separated his beautiful blue eyes finally revealed themselves, and I swooned.

"Wow," was all Shayne said.

"Wow what?" I inquired, grinning.

"You're so gorgeous," he stated.

I blushed deeper than ever. Shayne cupped my cheeks and pulled me in for another kiss, but this one felt so different. It was like he felt as though he'd never kiss me again, and it scared me slightly. Its urgency and desperation put me off, something was wrong. My suspicions were only confirmed as when I pulled away a solitary tear was trickling down Shayne's cheek. I brushed it away with my thumb and proceeded to play with his hair.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Shayne smiled, "Nothing's wrong."

"Then why are you crying?"

He kissed me again, "These are happy tears."

I smirked and went on to tease, "Just happy that I'm your girlfriend, huh?"

Shayne nodded sincerely, "You have no idea how lucky I am."

"O-Oh Shayne, I-"

Shayne interrupted me with a passionate kiss, rolling over so he was on top. He proceeded to pull the covers over the two of us, and we made love yet again...

The rest of the day was fairly tranquil. We walked Jango in the park close to our new home, watched some TV together and Shayne and I even baked some cookies just for the hell of it.

It was hard to ignore Shayne's strange behaviour, however, due to the fact that throughout the day he was constantly checking the time, as well as messages on his phone, of which he claimed were from Damien and Noah 'trolling' him. I wasn't buying it, but as we approached the evening, developments were made.
