Restoration [Shawn Mendes] AU

Chapter 80

"Babe, I'm so glad you're home. Even though you were only gone for a few days, I really missed you!" Shawn said, pulling Michelle close as they stood in the kitchen of her loft late Monday morning  preparing to make breakfast.

"I missed you too Sparky! I mean, don't get me wrong,  I had a great time with the girls, but everyday I was in Vegas, something would come up to make me think of you and then I'd miss you terribly. You know, like a joke, or something I'd see or hear and I'd wish you were there to share it, or laugh with me about it. Just little things like that, ya know?" Michelle replied.

"I know baby, that's how intimacy works. When you're so connected with another person, you have kind of an unspoken language. You're on the same wavelength and understand each other's thoughts or even a look between you, like through some kind of shorthand communication with each other that only the other person understands."

"I know honey...we seemed to have developed that early on, even when we were just friends."

"Which is why we're even closer now. We had that foundation early on and moving from being just friends to a relationship only made us stronger," he replied, kissing her gently as he ran his hands over her curves which were covered in a large white cotton button-down shirt. 

"I love you," she whispered, caressing his cheek as she looked into his warm caramel brown eyes. 

"Love you too baby," he whispered back, as he slowly began to unbutton her shirt.

"You don't want breakfast?" she asked quietly, giving him a slight grin.

"I want you. Breakfast can wait," he murmured, pulling her into a kiss.

Michelle wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately as his hands ran down to her hips and ass before he picked her up and walked back into the bedroom where he set her down on her feet and finished unbuttoning her shirt. He removed it and she sat down on the bed, scooting back on the mattress as he quickly removed his gym shorts and boxer briefs, crawling across the bed to take her in his arms once more. They continued their slow passionate kissing, enjoying each other on a lazy Monday morning where neither of them had to be anywhere or do anything.

"You're so beautiful," Shawn said softly as he looked into Michelle's eyes. "I love to see you like this, no makeup...nothing but your beautiful face.

"Thank you honey," she grinned, "but I don't know if I'd want to go out in public like this."

"You don't need anything on your face except your smile. You're beautiful just the way you are, inside and out," he replied, gently running his finger down the contour of her soft cheek.

"You're so sweet," Michelle said, taking his face in her hands as she kissed him once again. "I love you so much Shawn. I can't ever get enough of you. You're so tender and loving and you always say things to make me feel so loved and special.
