shawn
i'm outside
i read shawn's text
i take off my ballet shoes, and slip them into my black 'school of american ballet' bag that has my name stitched in
god, do i miss that school
a cool breeze hits my practically naked legs, seeing as i'm only in a black leotard, pink tights, the sweatshirt i wore to practice and my warm up boots
i usually wouldn't wear my warm up boots out, but i was too lazy to find my other shoes
" who's the hottie? " shawn yells as i make my way to his car
my eyes widen at him as people start to stare, and i'm quick to flip him off
" are you dumb? " i ask as i get in his jeep
before i can even get another word out shawn grabs the back of my neck, and pulls me closer to him to connect our lips
i relax, and place my hand on his cheek, softly caressing his cheekbone
he's the first to pull away, and licks his lips
" you're wearing my sweatshirt? " he smirks
i look down at my sweatshirt and realize that it is his sweatshirt
" oh my god " i mumble
" i didn't even realize " i say and he laughs
" now, let's go get you a ice cream while you tell me about your day "
~
" and they just fucking ripped! " i huff, crossing my arms over my chest as shawn feeds me my ice cream
" calm down, honey " he tells me as he places the spoonful in my mouth
" it's just, ugh! and they're a hundred dollars. i don't have enough money right now to just buy a pair of pointe shoes " i pout and he frowns
" what are you gonna do? " he asks and i shrug
" no pointe shoes, no pointe " i reply
" but that's fine with me, i hate pointe " i tell him and he laughs, grabbing another spoon full of ice cream and feeds it to me
" have i told you how cute you look in my clothes? " he asks and i playfully roll my eyes, smiling
" shut up " i say and he smiles
" so tell me about the rest of your day " he says, scooping another spoonful i open my mouth and take it, before speaking
" i mean, eh. i went to another cpr class even though i learned all of that in high school. but yeah, i just spent four hours practicing cpr for no re- "
" i'm sorry to interrupt, but some people are trying to enjoy their ice cream here so if you could keep it down " a person at a table behind us rudely interrupts
" who the f- " i start but shawn widens his eyes and clamps a hand over my mouth
" listen sir, she's had a long day, and it was a shitty one too. so if you would mind your own damn business and let her tell me about it, that'd be great " shawn says, sending him a sarcastic smile
the guy at the table who said it rolls his eyes, and leaves the store
the woman at the table turns towards us
" i'm sorry sweetheart, he's not in the best mood either. ignore his comment, you guys were fine " she says, getting up from her table to follow the man she was with
" you guys are beautiful together " she smiles, before leaving
i smile at what the woman said, and shawn removes his hand
" i'm sorry, beautiful. continue " he tells me and i smile, continuing to tell him about my bad day, which is now not so bad after all
~
" but how did everyone not know the switched hair and dresses? their necklaces are different " shawn stares intently at the scream while we watch barbie: princess and the pop star
i laugh, leaning my head on shawn's shoulder
" it's a kids movie, shawn. don't stress over it " i giggle
" but now it's bothering me " he says and i laugh, shaking my head
i look up, admiring shawn's side profile
" you're staring " he says and i fake gasp
" me? never! " i exclaim and he laughs, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pecking my lips thrice, the last one a bit longer than the first two, causing it to linger
" i'm glad i met you " i whisper more to myself than to him
" i'm glad i met you too, honey " he replies, causing me to blush as he leaves a kiss on my forehead
~
" what time is your first class tomorrow? " shawn asks as we place the blankets on my bed over us
" eleven. i have a quick dance session from eight to ten, then i go to class from eleven to twelve " i tell him and he furrows his eyebrows
" why such a short day tomorrow? " he asks
" well for dance, since we have a performance wednesday they don't want to tire us out before it. and as for nursing, it's only notes
tomorrow " i tell him and he nods
" then i can steal you for the rest of the day? " he asks and i smile
" yes, then you can steal me for the rest of the day " i tell him and he smiles, kissing my head
" goodnight, beautiful "
" goodnight, shawn "
