Bad Reputation | S.M.

Chapter 68

We took separate cars to the drive-in movie, I was riding with Shawn while my brothers and mom went with Shawn's parents and Aaliyah. The car ride was quiet, Shawn's hand holding mine as I stared out the window, still thinking about what could be affecting him. I turned to look at him, he had a concentrated look on his face and he turned, catching me staring at him.

"What's up baby?" He asked and tightened his grip on my hand.

"Why were you stressed when you got home hun?" I turned my body to him completely and set my other hand on top of his so both of my hands could be holding his free one. He shook his head, taking a deep breath in.

"It's not important now Nicole." He sighed. "Just leave it."

"If it weren't you wouldn't be acting this way." I frowned and we got to the lot where the movie was going to be held. He parked the car away from his parents' since there was not enough of parking spaces left and I took off my seatbelt, letting go of his hand abruptly so I could get out of the car.

"Nicole, wait." I heard him before I shut the door on him.

I crossed my arms walking towards their car before I felt Shawn pulled my arm.

"Please get in the car."

"Why?"

"Because, I hate it when we argue." He said and I sighed, nodding before getting into the back seat of the car. We sat facing each other and he looked down fiddling with his fingers. I covered his hands with mine and he looked up at me.

"So, the reason I was late is because I was at a meeting with Andrew and management." He sighed. "They finally set the tour dates since we had postponed."

"Okay, why is that bad thing babe?"

"They set it for the end of May, so that means,"

"You'll miss my graduation." My eyes softened.

"I'm so sorry Nicole."

"Shawn, it's okay." I cupped his face in my hands. "What made you think I was going to get mad?"

"I promised you I would be there." He took my hands in his.

"Shawn, you're going to be on tour, that beats sitting for two hours watching a bunch of losers graduate." I chuckled and I made him giggle a bit.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be hun, I understand." I smiled and kissed him. He grabbed my face, kissing me softly, and I smiled in between his kisses. He kissed my cheek, traveling down my neck making me giggle.

"Our families are here Shawn."

"We're in the car." He shrugged and continued, his hand sneaking under my sweater. I closed my eyes, tilting my neck to give him more access. I felt the cold tips of his fingers brush against my skin as I grabbed onto his thigh, biting my lip.

"We should really stop." I let out a heavy breath, my grip getting tighter on his leg.

"But do you want to?" He stopped, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Of course not, but our family baby." I pushed against his shoulders."They could look through the windows."

He sighed and nodded, sitting back in his seat as I fixed myself. "You're right, but trust me, next time you'll be caught by surprise."

"Calm down Mendes." I shook my head. He ran his fingers through his hair, giving me one last kiss before we walked out of the car. I closed the car door behind me along with Shawn and he opened his trunk, taking out a picnic blanket along with the cooler we brought full of drinks and fruit. The movie was about to start, it was a showing of Aladdin, and we took a seat next to our families.
