Butterflies

Date Night

I arrived at his house later that night wearing in my short red dress. I walked in, seeing him immediately and he smiled at my appearance. 

"Rach, you look beautiful" he said. He leaned down and kissed me, which made the good butterflies flutter around in my stomach. He walked me into the kitchen where he had set up a fancy dinner for the two of us.

"This looks amazing" I smiled. 

After talking for awhile, we finished our meals and I helped him with the dishes. We moved to the couch where he played a movie and we snuggled for the remainder of the night. I don't remember much of the movie because I guess I fell asleep. I woke up to him nudging my shoulder.

"Rachel, it's getting pretty late. Do you want to just spend the night here?" he asked. I nodded my head and flopped over, too tired to get up off the couch. He just laughed and walked into his room. 

A few minutes later, he came back holding some clothes. Somehow, I mustered up the energy to stand and he led me into his bathroom.

"Here are come clothes for you. They are probably going to be big on you but it was all I could find. You can take a shower if you want. I'll be out here." he said, leaving me alone. I didn't even bother showering, I knew I was too tired. I just tied my hair up and changed out of my dress. 

Shawn was right, his clothes were huge but I kind of liked it. They smelled like him which made me smile. I found an extra toothbrush under his cabinet and washed my face. Soon enough, I was ready for bed. I walked out and looked around but I didn't see him. 

"Shawn?" I weakly called. I heard some rustling from his closet and went to see if he was there. From around the corner I could see him, shirtless. He was digging through a drawer of what looked like t-shirts.

"Don't" I said. I walked forward and grinned. He turned, revealing his abs and my grin got bigger.  He grabbed my waste, looking at me from head to toe.

"You look so cute." he said. I leaned in and set my hand on his chest. He pulled my close and I felt the warmth of his body.

"Let's go. I'm tired." I said. I sat in bed as he quickly brushed his teeth in the bathroom. He came out, turning the lights off and climbed into his side. I curled up on his side, again, setting my hand on his chest. I watched it rise and fall as he breathed. He wrapped him arm around me and rubbed my side. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

I woke up in the morning and looked around, not remembering that I had spent the night at Shawn's. I jolted up and started to panic when he strolled into the room. 

"Good morning, beautiful." he said. I relaxed as all of the memories of last night came back to me. He handed me a cup of coffee and took a seat next to me. I wiped the sleepiness away from my eyes he chuckled. "You are a good sleeper, you know that?" he joked. I just snickered and took a sip from the mug. 

A little while later, both of us were ready for the day. I was still wearing his clothes but found ways to make them work. 

"What do you want to do?" I asked. I saw the expression on his face change into an almost mischievous looking smile.

"You know I used to play hockey, right?" he asked. I nodded, not knowing where this was going. "Well, I was thinking, maybe I could teach you." he said. My eyes widened.

"Shawn, I've never even ice skated before. I don't know if I can." I said. 

"Come on, I will be by your side the whole time. It will be fun." he urged. I finally agreed and he gave me a hug.

"This is going to be great!" he exclaimed.
