Love Me

|Chapter 11|

Natalie Pierce Mendes

"You shouldn't have done that Nat." Emma spoke softly over the phone.

"I know." I murmured back with a frown etched on my face, leaning back onto my bed, my phone wedged between my shoulder and ear as I pulled the blanket over me.

"Also.. um Alena's temper might've gotten the best of her and she might've told your mom that you and Shawn really really like each other.. so she..." Emma spoke carefully, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

"So she what Em?" I asked her, sitting up straight.

"So your mom um.. wants to come see and you shawn tomorrow." Emma mumbled out.

"She WHAT?" I screamed into the phone.

"Okay I'll tell him. Bye." I answered to Emma as Shawn entered his- our room and sat down on his side of the bed wordlessly.

"Uh..  my moms coming over tomorrow. I-is that okay?" I asked nervously. He looked up at me, his eyes blazed through my soul it felt like.

"Yea, okay." He responded and went back to looking at his phone.

"And uh.. Alena kind of got in a really bad temper after this mornings events and well.. she-" I hesitated and Shawn looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

I sighed.

"We have to act like an actual couple tomorrow."

The next day.

"Hola mamá." I sighed as I hugged my mother after almost two weeks.

She came inside and I closed the door.

"Where's Papa?" I asked her as she looked around the house.

"Stuck with your sister. Ella ha estado de humor desde ayer. And we'll talk about that later." She pointed a finger at me. (She's been in a mood since yesterday.)

"Now where's that husband of yours?" Mom asked me and I led her to the kitchen where Shawn was drinking water, his AirPods stuck in his ear, as his head bobbed back and forth to the beat of the song.

"Shawn." I called out to him as his back was turned to us and he clearly couldn't hear us.

No response.

"Shawn!" I called out to him again.

No response.

I sighed walking in front of him, he looked at me surprised before I took his AirPods out of his ears.

He stared at me in confusion. I nudged my head towards our left, where my mother stood watching us.

Shawn turned to face my mom and greeted her who smiled at him.

"Mamá, quieres algo de comer?" I asked my mother and shook her head no. (Mom, do you want something to eat?)

"Shawn?" I questioned him and he looked confused. Then I realised I spoke in Spanish and he couldn't understand it.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked him and he thought about it for a second.

"Maybe a muffin?" He shrugged.

"Sure." I smiled all fake.

"Thanks." He grinned, kissing my cheek, making my mother smile at us widely.

As soon as the two left the room to conversed, I rolled my eyes.

This was definitely gonna be a long day.

•••

Wowow why's everything so crappy lately.
My grades, my clothes, my face, my grades again.

I'm dying.

P.s found some AirPods laying on the side of the road today. Pretty sure they're one of Shawn's 6 lost pairs.
