Maria's POV~~ December 5

It was finally the time for the holidays and we went to the living room, in order to discuss our plans for Christmas. There's only one problem no one knows that Shawn and I are dating. We both plan on telling them today.

"I have brought everyone together today to discuss our plans to know what we are gonna do for Christmas," Cam explains. We all nod our heads and Shawn raises his hand next to me, "I have a suggestion, but also an announcement to make." He gets from the couch and looks me momentarily. He holds his hand towards me and I take it. He gently pulls me up, "Maria and I have started dating.." The guys remain silent and Michelle is the only one that gasps. "When did this happen?" She questions us. The guys then start laughing, and I start to wonder what is going on.

"Guys... we already knew that you guys were dating. Come on, who isn't to notice the hand holding under the table at breakfast," Taylor laughs out. Michelle still continues to look at us in shock and the something snaps in her, "Is that why you guys kept dropping things during breakfast? UNBELIEVABLE! NONE OF GUYS PLANNED ON TELLING ME THIS!" The room remains silent for short while. Michelle then starts laughing, "I'm kidding guys. I saw something too, but I decided to not mention it." We all look at her in confusion, "Wait... what did you see Michelle?" She smirks a little and smiles, "I may have woken up one night and saw them in the kitchen... pecking each other's lips and then going into a full make-out session."

Shawn and I are in the kitchen and he gently lifts me up onto the counter. Shawn moves in between my legs. He pecks my lips, "You're so beautiful..." I shush him in order for him to be more quiet, "You might wake someone up." He closes the space between a little. "No one is going to be awake at this hour.." he kisses down my neck. I try to hold myself back from making any noise and then he moves his lips to mine. "You're very pretty.." he kisses me in between. He continues to kiss gently and then I hear someone gasp. We both immediately stop, "Do you think someone saw us?" Shawn shakes his head, "I don't think so, everyone is asleep right now. No one is awake."

"So you were the one that was watching us the whole time?" I question Michelle. She nods her head, "Man if knew that was the surprise that I  get for going into the kitchen at night, I just might as well sleep." We all laugh at her comment and we all sit down. "Now for the real reason that I want to speak out is that maybe we should go to Toronto for Christmas," Shawn suggests. We all look around each other and agree on the idea. "Then it's settled we will be going to Toronto for the Holidays," Cam confirms.

December 10

We all get up early in the morning and drive to the airport. "Do we all have jackets for when we arrive?" Cam questions all of us. We all respond with 'yes' and the trip moves on. Nash and Michelle seem to have gotten closer ever since that night happened. I'm happy to say that she looks healthy and well. I just hope that there will be no more conflicts arising.

We board the plane and I sit in the middle seat. The window seat was Aaron's and the aisle seat was Shawn's. "Do you have anything that needs to put in the upper compartments, babe?" I stare at him in surprise for him calling me 'babe.' Shawn looks down to where I'm sitting, "You alright.... babe?" I just stare at him in wide eyes. "I'll take that as a no then..." he mumbles. He sits down next to me, "Why do you look so alarmed?" I continue to stare at him. Yeah, he totally doesn't know what he just said would make me this way. God... men are sometimes idiots.

"She's just staring at you because you called her 'babe'," Aaron comments. Shawn looks at me and smiles, "So that's why you're not responding me. If I had known I would have given you a warning." I sit back in my seat and thank Aaron, "Thanks for exposing me, nut-head." Aaron just smirks and goes back to looking out the window. "So.. you ready to see snow again little one?" Shawn questions me. I quickly nod, to be told that I was gonna see snow was exciting. Winter is my favorite season, so how wouldn't I be happy.

"What are going to do once we get there?" I ask him. He looks at me and smiles, "Well from sources that I've heard we're going to check into a hotel and then visit my parents on Christmas." I look at him in shock, "You're telling me I'm gonna be meeting the in laws!" He only smiles and laughs, "Don't worry so much, they'll adore you. Same way I adore you right now." I smile at the comment and my eyes start closing. "If you're sleepy just lay on my shoulder and cuddle with me," Shawn informs me. I nod and get into his arms and lay my head on his chest. I feel his chest slowly rise up and down, it was a calming sensation. My world slowly fades into blackness.

"Shortly we will be arriving to Toronto Pearson International Airport."

I come to my senses and look up. Shawn was rubbing his eyes, "Hello beautiful, did you sleep well?" I slightly nod my head and rub my eyes, "Are we landing soon?" He laughs, "Sweetie, we're already here we were just waiting for Michelle and you to wake up." I blush from embarrassment and get up. We head off the airplane and go through security. Once we were done we get into an Uber and drive to the hotel. We arrive to hotel and we get our keycards. Now we just figure out who is sharing rooms with who. "Well we already know that the couples are staying by each other," Taylor informs while pointing at us. The boys laugh and play Rock Paper Scissors to see who shares room with who. In the end the room sharing goes as following: Cam and both Jacks, Carter and Aaron, Matt and Taylor, and the rest of us as couples.

We arrive at our room and enter the keycard. We enter the hotel room and notice there is only one bed. We both look at each in shock. "I could sleep on the couch if you want me to," Shawn offers himself. I shake my head, "It's fine it's just that I never shared a bed with a guy before, that's all." Shawn smirks as he slowly steps towards me, "So you never slept with anyone in your life, baby?" I feel myself backing up, "No, I've never done anything with anyone before."

I fall onto the bed and Shawn gets on the bed. He hovers above me, "So everything that we do, it will be your first time?" I nod my head being a little nervous toward what he is doing. "Don't worry, I don't plan on doing anything to you... not tonight anyway," he teases. I glare at him momentarily, "I'm going to go change in the bathroom." He sighs and gets off me and I get to head to the bathroom. I gently close the door to the bathroom and turn around.

I smile gently to myself, and being happy for myself, for once in my life...
