Restoration [Shawn Mendes] AU

Chapter 47

As Michelle walked through the doors into the lobby of her building, she was greeted by Sharon, the woman behind the counter. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Stevenson! How are you today?" she greeted in her usual bubbly tone.

"Oh I'm fine and how are you today?" Michelle inquired.

"Fine, thank you! I have a delivery here for you. It came about about an hour ago," she said as she pulled out a lovely flower arrangement in a short black container, wrapped in florist's cellophane and handed it to Michelle.

"Oh thank you very much! My these are so pretty!" Michelle exclaimed as she looked at the lovely arrangement of blue roses, babies breath and greenery.

"Yes, very pretty. I don't think I've seen blue roses before, except maybe in a photo. Someone must really know your taste in flowers."

Michelle smiled at Sharon, thinking that Shawn did know her favorite color and he'd actually found a florist who carried that color of rose. "Well, he certainly knows my favorite color! I can't believe he found somewhere in Providence that actually had blue roses!" she said as she looked at the card on the arrangement.

"Ah, well he sounds like a wonderful young man to pay attention to details like that. Most men would just pick up a bouquet of red roses for Valentine's Day."

"You're right, he does pay attention to details. Thank you for taking this delivery for me Sharon. Have a good evening!" Michelle replied as she walked to the elevator to go up to her loft.

Michelle was touched by the beautiful flower arrangement Shawn had gotten her and she couldn't wait to see him later on that evening to fully show her appreciation, not to mention make up for teasing the hell out of him in class earlier in the day. Something about him made her do and say things to him that pushed his buttons, just like when they first started off as friends and would tease each other with smartass banter, always upping the ante to see which one could outdo the other. Now that playfulness had turned sexual and she loved it.

Shawn glanced at the dashboard clock to see it was already after 4:30 as he drove to the CVS to pick up a larger box of condoms. He thought he'd also go ahead and buy a few other things to leave at Michelle's apartment so he didn't have to bring them back and forth from his place to hers when he spent the night. While he was there he'd also pick up a razor and shaving cream as well as his brand of aftershave, cologne, deodorant, shampoo and hair paste.

As he made his way back to his apartment, his thoughts went back to earlier in the day when she teased him in class to the point he couldn't even think straight but had hinted she wanted spanked. It wasn't the first time she had said that, so he definitely thought she was dropping hints because it was what she desired and the thought turned him on even more than he already had been. He had never been with a woman who'd requested for him to do that to her, most likely because he'd never been with a woman long enough to get to that level of intimacy. He didn't want to do anything that might hurt Michelle, but he wanted to do whatever she needed to please her in bed, so he decided when he got back to his apartment he would have to do a little baseline research for the rudimentary techniques of erotic spanking. He was completely in uncharted territory and needed some basic pointers. Thank God for Google.
