Rose [S.M]

Birthday love

"Shawn, we are going to fall." I mumble as we walk through the hallway towards the stairs with his hands covering my eyes from behind.

"I got you."

"No offense but you are the most clumsiest person I know. I am not sure if this is a good idea." He already has to try his hardest to not fall down the stairs himself but if he also has to guide me... this is not going to end well.

"Whatever you want..." I sigh in relief as he takes his hands away from my eyes but suddenly he reaches down and lift me up and carries me as a little baby.
"Shawn, put me down!."- I semi scream as he begins the walk down the stairs with me in his arms. "We are going to fall and die."

"If you don't stop struggling, we certainly will." I wrap my arms tightly around his neck and push my face into his shoulder as I do a quick prayer that we will survive his spontaneous idea.

Without any difficulty, he walks down the stairs and puts me back on my feet as we reach the bottom. "You see, nothing happened."

"If you had broken your back, Andrew would have killed me."  Speaking about Andrew... I wonder if Shawn has heard something from him yet. I am pretty sure that there were pictures taken from us at the airport. I haven't really checked my phone but I am sure that the internet is booming. And if the pictures got out, I am sure that Andrew has definitely seen them.

Mental note: Ask Shawn about it later.

"Don't worry about Andrew."- Shawn says and covers my eyes with his hands again. "Today it's your day." As Shawn guides me through the house, I can hear the voices coming from somewhere in the house. I have you ever noticed, that when you 'cut' off a sense, the others become much more sensitive? It's true. You have to try it sometime.

We abruptly stop. "Happy birthday baby." Shawn whispers into my ear and remove his hands.

"Surprise!." Every single one of his family members scream. An instant smile takes place on my face as I see the bright smiles of Karen, Manuel, Aaliyah and... Brian?

"What are you doing here?." I say as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"A little birdie told me that it is your birthday. I cannot miss that, can I?." He says as he wraps his arms around me as well.

"You bought my girl red roses dude?." Shawn says, trying to sound 'mad' if that is even possible as I take a step back out of his embrace.

"Well, her name is Rose. So, yeah... it only made sense to buy those flowers."

"You bought them at a cheap ass gas station, didn't you." Aaliyah teases before she gives me a hug.

"No... well..."- he rambles as he try to find the right words to say.

"I don't care where they are from."- I release Aaliyah from the hug and look over my shoulder to Brian. "They are gorgeous. Thank you so much. You didn't had to do that." A little blush spreads over his cheeks as he quickly look away before anyone can see it and comment on it.

"Congratulations sweetheart." Manuel says and give a quick kiss on my cheek.

"Thank you." I can feel the warmth and the love all around me. This is so different from how I normally would have spend my birthday.

"Come here honey."- Karen says with her arms wide open and gives me a bear hug. "Again. Happy birthday and may all your wishes come true."

"Who knows." I doubt that the only real wish I have will ever come true but hey, I need to stay positive. Miracles can happen.
