DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [174]

We ate while they're on each other's throats for the whole time. Harry smiles every time Shawn glances at him to piss him off even more but Shawn keeps his cool with a smirk and head shaking.

They even volunteered to clean the dishes themselves and wipe them dry. I just stood beside the table with my arms wrapped together while watching them do all the work. If they could only be like this every time then the world would be heaven. Right after cleaning, there's a knock on the door. Since the two of them just finished, it wouldn't be that hard for me to open the door, so I went and did.

It was Yuna. With a dirty little smug on her face, "I'm gonna get my bag." She heads inside without my permission. When she saw the boys, her voice became a quite seductive, as always when it comes to boys, "Aren't you boys going home yet?"

Harry wets his lips, "Maybe I'll stay a little. I need to talk to May."

"What about you Shawnie?"

Shawn didn't answer. He just ignored her like she wasn't even there. It's funny but I feel a little bad for her, talking but the person you're talking to just ignores you. She probably feels like shit.

"May?"

I look over to Harry, "Yeah?"

"Can we talk? Only the two of us."

I look at Shawn. He's very unpleased but still, I said yes to Harry.

"Let's go take a walk?" He suggests.

"S—Sure. Okay." I said.

Shawn, without a word, walked upstairs.

"Well, go on. I'll take care of him." Yuna mumbles.

"Don't even try.." I mutter, "Come on Harry."

We went outside, leaving Yuna downstairs by herself and Shawn upstairs. Shawn has successfully rebuilt my trust but if he breaks it this time, it a hundred and one percent goodbye.

As we walk, Harry already have a suspicion, "You okay with her alone in your house?"

"Yeah. It's not like she can take my mom's figurines. My drawers have locks too. If she's gonna come up to my room, the thing she can only get are my clothes. Guess she won't bother stealing those. Besides.."

He nods, "Yep. He's upstairs."

"Yeah.."

He paused for a second, "So.. I guess.. I really don't have a chance.. wait—hey, I know I said I'm not giving up on your heart easily but.. I just realized.. how can I win you if someone already won it? It's like.. someone already has the trophy, yet I'm still fighting to have it. It's not right, right?"

I gently agreed, "You can take it that way.."

"Do you love him?"

I clenched my teeth, I don't want to hurt his feelings bur he needs to know the truth.

"May?"

"Huh? Oh. What?"

"I said, do you really love him?"
