Ariel

He walked out of his bedroom with only black shorts on him. His arm flexed, holding a towel that ran through his curls roughly, drying out the water from his hair. His toned abs were not covered by a single cloth, giving me the time to admire them.

He stopped drying his hair and placed the towel on his shoulder. His curled bang fell down perfectly to his forehead. What a perfect creature of God is he.

"Close your mouth, Ariel. You'll drool in no time," he spat the words that slapped me up from the daydreaming.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mendes," I tried so hard to cover up my embarrassing act, "And I can't drool, come on," I looked down, lose all the courage to see him in the eye.

"You're apparently looking at me and releasing soul from your lips, Ariel," a chuckle slipped through his lips, "And you're leaving the milk to burn," his finger pointing to the stove behind the kitchen aisle I'm sitting at.

"Oh, shit! Shit!" I forgot about the milk I'm warming up for breakfast because of the heavenly scenery.

I stirred the pan and I can see the bottom of the pan turned brown and the milk broke into particles. "No..." I prolong the o with a sad tone, "That's the last milk we've got in the fridge," I raised my hand to my face as I messed up the very first task in the morning.

"Hey, honey, I know I look good without my clothes on. But, I don't want to get out shirtless as I'm saving my life from a burning house," he stepped closer to the kitchen aisle.

"I'm sorry, Shawn," I felt bad and I meant it.

"Aww... no worries, honey," he wrapped around his arms on my cold shadow. I could feel the warm air surrounding me, "Well, since we lost our last breakfast, what about you accompany me to have one in Subway near here?" He passed through me and turned around.

"Ow, ow!" I cried in pain, "Shawn, it hurts so bad. Argh-," my hands went to my stomach where he went through me and start going down in a crouch position.

His face clearly showed guilt and panic, "Oh no- I'm sorry, babe-," he crouched down to match my position, "I didn't know it would hurt you that bad, I'm sorry babe," his eyes wide opened, seeking to meet mine.

I didn't respond a single sound.

"Babe answer me, please," he's sounding broken-hearted.

I can't hold my laughter back and started squeaking like a dying mouse.

"Oh no, babe- Don't cry please," he moved his head to the right to find my face that was buried under my folded arms, "Hey, honey, look at me for a sec."

I lift my head up with my eyes closed and teary, still cannot stop my ugly giggle.

"Ariel! I hate you," he frowned after he saw me laughing till tearing up my eyes,

"Aww, I love you too, Shawn," I said and continue laughing.

"How could you do that? My heart was near to explode," he raised his voice and placed his hand on his heart dramatically.

"But, seriously though," I managed to stop laughing, "Don't pass through me. It will drain both of your and my energy," I'm now being serious.

"Oh, really?" His concerned face grew back on his face, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know that," he pouted his lips, "Seems like I need more Being In A Relationship with A Ghost 101," he chuckled.

"Well noted, Mr Mendes," I responded with a big grin, "How much are you willing to pay this Ms Bennet to teach you? I raised my eyebrow.

"I believe my love is way more than enough, Ms Bennet," he answered with a simple but meaningful smile appeared on his face.
