Temptation

Chapter 19

*Alice's POV*

"So how did it all go? Was he nice? Did you kiss? Hold hands? Where did he even take you? And why is your hair covered in sand?" Jenny bombards me with questions as soon as I reach the door to the house.

"Whoa! Whoa!" I laugh. "Slow down, once question at a time."

"Okay, okay.. How did it go? I want to hear all about it!" She claps her hands together following me upstairs.

"It was good," I smile.

"That's it?" She stops walking.

"What?" I chuckle.

"There has to be more! C'mon spill it!" She demands, and I laugh at her curiosity.

"So then after the restaurant, we raced in skateboards to the beach, and of course I won!" I flip my hair dramatically, making Jenny roll her eyes. "And then he bought me Ice cream," I pause, remembering it all.

"And then?" She asks, waving her hands in front of my face.

"Oh, umm.. Sorry.." I snap back into reality. "Well then he took out his phone and played Ed Sheeran, as we kissed." I say, purposely leaving out some minor details.

"Oh my god! He kissed you!" She squeals, jumping up and down in the bed

"Yeah," I chuckle.

"Was it magical?" She collects herself, squeezing my hand.

"It was, yeah!" I smile, remembering his lips on mine.

"So does this mean that you guys are official?" She asks, snapping me away from the thought of Cameron.

"I- I don't know.." I answer. "I mean he told me he liked me but then-" a knock on the door interrupts me.

It's past midnight. Who could it be?

"Are you expecting someone?" I ask Jenny.

"No.. Are you?" She raises and eyebrow at me.

"No,"

"Maybe it's Cameron," she says, making my heart flutter at his name.

"Maybe.." I shrug, getting up as I head downstairs to get the door.

"If it's him, tell him I said hi!" She screams, and I can't help but laugh at her.

I doubt it's Cameron, he would text me if he were to come over... i think.

I check the pupil in the door, but it's dark and I can't seem to get the image of the person, it seems to get smaller as it starts walking away.

I slowly open the door, and to my surprise it's not Cameron, it's Shawn?

"Shawn? What are you doing here?" I ask, and I swear his face has regret written all over it.

"Um.. Hi Alice." He smiles weakly.

He looks tired.

"Hi Shawn!" I smile, I lean in for a hug, and he returns it, tightly.

I smile during it, it's always great to see him.

"How are you?" I ask pulling away from him lightly.

"I'm good," he smiles. "How are you?"

"Great, I'm great!" I chuckle.

"That's good to hear," he looks down at my dress, then arches a brow at me.

"Oh, yeah.. Umm.. I just got back, from a dinner." I laugh nervously, leaving out the part of going out to dinner with Cameron.
