Shaun's POV
Two months ago, the most important person in my life asked if she still had a chance at me. I didn't hesitate, kissed her right there, and told her I've loved her for three years. She smiled, I was the most happiest in my whole life. Two months later, I'm sitting with her right next to me watching a Phineas and Ferb marathon. Hey! It's a great show, but what most exciting of tonight is I'm with the girl I love with all of myself. I've zoned out completely, that when she took the popcorn from my hands and smiled widely at me, I cared only a little bit. I put my arm around her shoulder and put her head on my shoulder. She relaxes, smiles that smile I love, and eats the popcorn. I watch the TV for two more seconds before I turn my head to the lovely lady right there, to notice that she's looking at me intently. This is how it'll always be I think as I lean in to capture her in a sweet, slow, lingering kiss that continues until it is RUDELY interrupted by the doorbell. I feel her slowly back away, and of course, we both growl at the same time out of irritation, next time we know we're laughing hysterically. I love how we can just laugh at stuff like this I think. She gets up from the chair and holds her hand out for me to get up.
"I can't stay here?" I say grabbing her hand and got off of her couch.
"Yeah, right. You know you wanna follow this to the door to finish what you started" she says playfully, flirtatiously walking with my hand in her hand.
I walk behind her and wrap my arms around her waist and whisper my lips brushing her ear "You bet I do".
We walk like this until we get to the door. Once we're there I spend her around and begin to nibble at her neck. So soft, so mine I think. I smile into her neck as I hear her giggle.
"I have to get the door" she moans.
I stop kissing her neck and look at her face, she's smiling, "No, you don't not if I do... THIS!"
That's when I began to tickle her, causing her to laugh and scream. Her laughter causes me to keep tickling her even when she begs me and pleas to stop. I know I have her now because she is the most ticklish person in the whole entire world. Another one of the things I love about her. It's always the littlest things that drive me overboard about her; I smile as I continue to tickle her until we hear the doorbell again. I stop tickling her, she trying hard to control her breathing and looks through the peephole. She goes stiff in shock, she back away from the door as if I just made her watch the scariest thing ever. I rush to her side, and then look at her. She begins to breathing heavily.
"Sarah, what, what's wrong, who's at the door?" I say looking at her watch the door, concern for her washing over me and my face. Who the heck is making her act like this? Who is at the door? I think.
She turns to me, and cups my face in her hands. She swallows and says "I love you" so deeply and sincerely I think I might start tearing up, so I say what I will say every day of my life if she let me.
I put my hands over her hands that are still on my face, "I love you too. Sarah, I love you more than any words can describe".
She kisses me tenderly, I know she loves me, but this is a kiss that says something, I just can't quite place it, I can't complain though. We kiss for a moment longer until the doorbell rings again, she back away slowly turns to the door and gives it her "annoyed" look. I'm happy I am not the one getting that look as I normally am. She breathes in and out, steps out of my embrace, slowly walks to the door, and opens it and some dude is at the door.
"Mark" she says like ice.
"Hey Sarah, what's up? Long times no see" the dude at the door says smiling.
"Yeah. Two years, yup" she says with no emotion in her voice, "What are you" she clears her throat, "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to talk real quickly" dude at the door says said.
"Um, that wouldn't be such a good idea. See, my boyfriend and I were watching a marathon of the greatest shows ever" she says, Boyfriend, I think I have always loved that word coming out of her lips.
I go and shake his hand.
"Shaun".
"Mark".
I recognize that name in an instant of hearing it.
"No way! Sarah, its Latino!!!!" I laugh at this now. "Dude, you made the biggest mistake ever!!! This girl right here is golden" I say sincerely snaking my arms around her waist.
"Yeah, I know that's kind of why I'm here".
I stop everything even breathing for a second, glare daggers at Marks, and tighten my grip on Sarah waist just a little bit, maybe I'm going overboard but I think I just heard him correctly and no one's taking Sarah from me now!
"Mark will you excuse us" she says, backs us into the house and closes the door, "Shaun... Calm down" she says softly.
I let her go now that we can't see HIS face and I run my hands over my head and face in frustrations "I thought this would happen..." I mumble.
"What? You thought what would happen?" she asks me.
"Nothing" I say
"Shaun, you don't like to lie to me and I hate absolutely hated when you lied just for fun all those years ago. Tell me baby please" she said to me, her hand on my right cheek.
What if this is the last time? I think as I lean into her touch, What if? "I knew one day someone better would come along and I'd lose you for some reason or other. Sarah, you're the one I love and have been my best friend through thick and thin. I never wanna lose you in any of those ways" I say softly.
She looks at me intent written all on her face but, I can't help the tears forming in my eyes before she says, "I'm only going to talk to him, you will never lose me to anyone, because my knight in shining shirt no one can even compare to what you are and what I feel for you. Okay? Go in the living room, and I'll be there in no time okay?" I say softly, "I promise you".
"Okay if it's more than twenty minutes I'm coming out there" I say more serious than I have in my entire life.
"I know Shaun, now go. I don't want him on my front any longer than he needs to be" she says.
I walk to the living room, scared as heck! What, you wouldn't be? The girl I love is out there talking to her first love; I don't know what to do! I sit on the living room couch, and watch the marathon for, two seconds! I go to the window. I see him sitting on the porch swing, she's stooped down in front of him and her mouth is moving. I wish I knew what they were saying? They could be confessing there love to each other for all I know! I think backing away from the window. I pace around the house, just like I guess she's done all those years on the phone with me. Once, I'm upstairs I go to her room. I open the door softly, and gently, and walk in. I chuckle, my girl I think, could never chose a favorite color! As I walk inside her room for the maybe sixth time in two months, I smile at the room. There are rainbows everywhere!!! Splatter paint on the ceilings, that one stuffed bear I gave her when we were around fourteen and fifteen on her bed, clothes in the hamper, and her desk in disarray. I go to her bed and run my hand over her sheets, and then I lay on her bed sprawled like I am on my bed thinking about her.
"My love for you burns like a thousand suns" I say to the empty room.
I grab the bear I gave her and give him a little squeeze. I yawn, and put the bear back. I get up and stare around her room looking for nothing specific, just creating a memory for later. I walk toward the door, and sigh, What if, she chooses him? I think as I grab the door handle, only time will tell... I walk back downstairs, passing pictures on the wall of her, her little sister, and brother. Her mother, and them all smiling widely. It makes me smile in return. Once, I'm back downstairs I try to create a snapshot for my memory of her house because I have no idea if I'll be allowed back if HE's here. I go to the living room where a different episode of the marathon is playing. I go and lay on the couch, What if, I never feel her kiss? Hear her laugh? See her smile? My tiredness takes over and I'm asleep on her couch for the last time... or so I hope not.
