Part 15~Last day

Shawn

I woke up when I heard the door downstairs got closed. I looked at the time and it was 3 am. I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and walked downstairs to see Hannah on her knees and talking to her purse that it should be quiet.

How much did she really drink?

"Common. Let's get you to bed" I helped her up and wrapped one arm around her so she wouldn't fall. I helped her into the bathroom and put her down on the toilet seat and took some makeup remover on a cotton pad and started to slowly wipe off her makeup. She closed her eyes and breathed heavily.

"So did you have fun?" she nodded as an answer and yawned. I smiled when she slowly tilted forward, almost losing her balance because she was so tired. "Hey, easy there" I giggled and catches her in my arms. She mumbled something in the crook of my neck and then hugged me tightly. I wrapped my hands around her thighs and lifted her and put her down on the counter beside my sink.

"Hannah. You need to open your mouth. I'm gonna brush your teeth" I showed her the toothbrush and grabbed her chin with my free hand. But she refused, she crossed her arms and shook her head. "Hannah," I said seriously. "I know that you are mad at me. But you have to do as I say. Okay?" she furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head once again. "Hannah. Please. Just open your mouth, so I can brush your teeth and then you can go to bed"

I opened her mouth for her and started to brush her teeth. She sat there, completely quiet, and looked at me in my eyes, and started to smile. "What?" I looked up at her and met her eyes and she gave me an apologizing look. "Sorry" She whispered "For what?" I raised one eyebrow, not knowing what she's talking about. "That I got mad at you and started to yell at you. I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry" she looked down at her dangling legs. I cupped her face in my hands and pulled her head up again and stroke my thumbs over her cheeks. "It's okay. It wasn't your fault. It was me who got mad and started to yell at you. I'm sorry" she smiled weakly and spit out the toothpaste foam in the sink.

"Now, let's get you to bed" I took her arms and wrapped them around my neck and then I wrapped my arms around her waist and walked her to bed. Since she is kinda drunk she just sat there and didn't do anything. Just giggled. "Okey. Let me help you" I walked over to her and hooked my fingers in the hem of her dress. "Strech your arms over your head" she did as she was told and started to giggle a little bit louder when I peeled off the dress from her body. When it fell to the ground she put one finger against her lips "Shhh, you're going to wake Shawn" she whispered to the dress, but I just chuckled and shook my head.

"You're purse already woke me up" she looked up at me with big eyes and gasped. "I told it to be quiet" "Hannah, you are really drunk and the only thing you need to do now is to sleep" she nodded her head and rubbed her eyes with her fists. As a little kid does when they are tired.

When she had her head on top of the pillow I covered her body with the cover and squatted down in front of her. She had closed her eyes and small snores slipped out of her mouth. I run my hand from her forehead to her cheek and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead before I walked over to my side of the bed.

Hannah

This week begins to approach the end. And to be honest it has been great. Well sometimes Shawn has been mad at me, but then he is the sweetest guy ever. And the most dangerous thing is about to happen. I'm starting to get feelings for him. Which wasn't a part of the contract. The contract clearly said that I'm not supposed to get feelings for the bidder and the bidder can't get feelings for the prize. Which is me in this case.

But I can feel that something is going on between us but neither of us dares to admit it.

I wish that I could stay here for a little bit longer. To get to know him better. But the contract says one week and we need to follow the rules.

It's our last night together and we have bearly not talked to each other. I don't know why, but I'm just feeling sad that I'm not gonna see him again and that this week is over. I have just been in our room the whole day, thinking about everything that has happened and Shawn has been downstairs and I don't know what he is doing.

I have heard him playing music, moving some items of furniture and god knows what.

Hannah, for real. You can't just lay here in bed and just doing nothing. This is your last day with Shawn and you are just laying in bed?

I thought about that for a while before I threw over my feet over the edge of the bed and headed downstairs.

When I was downstairs I saw Shawn sitting on the couch with a game controller in his hand. "Hi," His gaze was focusing on the TV and gave me a nod as an answer. My eyes traveled to the TV and saw that he was playing a racing game. I walked over to the couch and sat down a few seats away from him.

"Isn't this kind of thing meant for kids?" I asked smiling "You seem a bit too old to be playing it Mendes" He shoots me a challenging look. "This game is a lot harder than it looks. Not everyone can play it and I'm undefeated" he gave me a foolish smirk "Undefeated eh?" "What, you don't believe me?" he asked, pretending to be shocked. I snorted, and it's not a sound that I'm not used to make. The corner of Shawn's mouth curved up and he pauses the game.

He walks over to the TV stand and pulls out another controller from one of the cabinets below. "If you think it's so easy, then you're on" Tossing me the controller, he plops back down on the couch. This time much closer to me. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" I raised one eyebrow at him "I'm pretty good at this and I don't want to embarrass you" I grinned and he scoffs. "Game on" He restart the game and this time making so it's two players are on the screen. And the match can begin.

A few rounds go by and we quickly realize that we're both fairly evenly matched. Nearing the end of the fourth and final round, Shawn nudges me with his shoulder causing my aim to falter. "Hey!" I furrowed my eyebrows and trying to nudge him as well, but he just laughs as he pulls ahead and his player crosses the finish line. I glare at him and cross my arms. "That's not fair. You totally cheated!"

Shawn's hand files to his chest as if he were offended and gasped "I would never!"

Smirking, I take the controller out of his hand and stand up on the couch and holding the controller above his head. He tries to grab for it, but I try to stretch my arm as much as I can, trying to keep it out of his reach.

His eyes narrow and he grabs me around the waist, spinning us around until I'm pinned beneath him on the couch. My breath catches when I realize just how close we are, how his body feels pressed up against mine. He stares at me, his eyes searching mine. I can feel his breath against my lips and it takes everything in me not to close the distance between us. "I-" Shawn starts to speak but stops himself. Gaining a little composure, I push against his shoulders. "Can you please get up?"

"Yeah, sure" Shawn stands up from the couch, then reaches out a hand to help me up. I take his hand and shiver when my skin makes contact with his. He pulls me up from the couch and he uses so much force so my chest bumps into his. He takes a strand of my hair and places it behind my ear. "Put on something nice. I'm gonna take you on our last date"
