BitterSweet

Chapter 16

"I told Hailee I should've worn a dress." I say more to myself before facing him. "I can change, just give me five seconds."

Hopefully it wont take Hailee long to find something suitable for me to wear. I'll just wear shorts underneath or something to hide my ass.

"Relax, Mila." Shawn grabs my hand, stopping me from going back inside. "I really don't think you want to go somewhere I was planning on taking another girl, do you?"

"Well, no."

"Don't worry, I have something in mind for us." He removes his leather jacket. "Though you may get a little cold from the wind, you should've brought a sweater or something."

I'm going to kill Hailee, I knew I should have grabbed a jacket. As he hands me his leather jacket, I glance back at the house thinking about what Hailee told me when I was going to bring a jacket. The curtain's suddenly move so I know Hailee and Niall are watching us. Instead of going inside to get my own, I put Shawn's jacket on, which smells irresistible.

I watch as Shawn swings his leg over to get on his bike and while his back is turned, I take and inhale deeply, smelling his jacket even more.

When he faces me, I quickly act like I wasn't doing anything but I feel the heat on my cheeks, totally giving me away.

"Here, you'll need this." He hands me the only helmet. I grab the black helmet and put it on.

"Cute." He smiles at me. "Hop on."
I'm hesitant because I don't really know how to do this. I end up giving in and holding onto his shoulders as I swing my leg over to the other side and hop on the back. Keeping my hands on his shoulders, I sit and wait for him to start the engine and go.

"Have you ever rode before?" He asks me.

"Uh- No." I admit. "Have you ever given rides to someone so inexperienced before?"

Oh god, why does that sound like I'm talking about sex?!

I try to amend myself but he speaks before I can.

"No." Thankfully he doesn't bring it up, what it sounded like I was saying. "I don't really give many a ride though either so..."

"Why?"

"It's complicated, but the short answer, I don't really like to."

"I'd be very interested in hearing the long answer."

"Just hold on to my waist so you don't fall off." I do as instructed and wrap my arms around his waist just as he starts the engine, and oh my god, he's so toned, so hard.

He reeves the engine a few times and I let out a squeal when he guns it, taking off as fast as he can, causing me to hold him tighter. I shiver as the cool air blows on me, so thankful for Shawn's warm jacket covering my lace-covered back. The sensation is everything I imagined it to be and more.

"Shawn!" I shout when he takes the on ramp to the highway so we're able to go much faster down the road.

"You okay?" He shouts over the engine.

"Yes!" I grin as the thrilling adrenaline filled emotion flows through my veins.

At my assurance that I'm okay, he speeds off faster now that he's able to, with the speed limit being higher than Niall's neighborhood.

It's so exciting, so freeing. I'm very much enjoying the ride. He drives on the highway for awhile before getting off and driving around the city. I'm not really sure where we're going, but I do notice it's not far because he seems to be driving just to drive. We've passed the same building a few times now so I know he's going in circles around the city just because he can.
