Rose [S.M]

Meeting the fam

"What about a movie night in?." I look at Lizzy as I am collecting everyone's plate after the dinner we just had.

"What? No! What are we? 80 years old?." Gabriella says. Well, if I am being honest, a night in doesn't sound too bad to me. I am not really in the mood to drink alcohol tonight. Tomorrow it's New Year's Eve so, we already partying then. I don't think it's such a good idea to consume a lot of alcoholic beverages tonight. I will not survive. or more precisely, my liver wouldn't survive.

"Exactly! Party it is!." Matt and Ian give each other a high five in agreement.

"What do you want to do, baby?." I turn my head away from the bickering people in front of me and turn my head to look at Shawn, who is in his seat beside me.

"I'm kinda wanna stay in but if you want to go out, go ahead." I don't mind if he is going out or not. Yes, I am a jealous girl but not really in that area. I would never be the girl who tells her significant other that he cannot do something. Shawn is a grown man and he can make his own decisions.

"Shawn? Rose? What are you going to do? Are you going to stay in like old people or are you going to join the fun kind of humans?." Brian says before Shawn can respond.

Shawn looks quickly at Brian, back to me and to Brian again before he speaks up. "We are going to stay in."

"Boring." Brian mumbles and sighs dramatically.

I roll my eyes at his extreme behavior and lift up the pile with plates and walk to the kitchen.

As I am bending over to put the plates into the dishwasher, I feel two hands on my hips.
"If you are anyone but Shawn, I will kick you in the balls."

"If anyone else but me would do this to you, I would kick them in the balls." Shawn jokes.

I stand up straight and turn around to look at him with a little smirk plastered on my face.
"Possessive much, huh?."

"No. Protective." I roll my eyes for the second time within a short amount of time as I turn around and close the dishwasher.

I turn around and cross my arms as I look at Shawn who is leaning against the kitchen counter. "Are you sure that you don't want to go out. You can go if you want, you know? You don't have to adjust to whatever I want to do."

"I know I don't but."- he push himself off the counter and walk over to where I am standing. I walk back until my back hits the counter behind me. He place his hands on either side of my body. "I really want to be where you are." He says with this little sparkle in his eyes. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to hear him say things like that to you. It feels like I am on cloud nine.

I stand on my tippy toes and I wrap my arms around his neck as I look up to his face. "Remind me to get an insurance on my neck."

Shawn laughs loudly. "Where is this suddenly coming from?."

"You are so freaking tall." Those 16 centimeters hight difference is killing me sometimes. Maybe I should start wearing only heels around him.

"Oo."- he laughs as he grabs my waist and lift me up the counter without any difficulty. "Better?."

"Much better." Now we are in the same universe. "Hi." 

"Hi." He says with the same big smile on his face as I do.

"Ugh..."- We both turn our head to the entrance of the kitchen as I see Jon looking at us. "You guys are so nauseating happy with each other."

"Now you know how I felt all those years as I watched you guys all over your girlfriends."
