Best Kind Of Broken

Camila's POV

"Good morning, baby." I hummed, turning to my side to see an already wide awake Shawn to my left. He didn't seem to have had any sleep last night and he appeared stress. It wasn't often that Shawn stressed out over things to the point where he hadn't slept. As far as I knew, I could tell when he hadn't slept and now was one of those times.

I sat up, facing him and finally getting a full examination of his face. He was gorgeous as always but he also had his eye bags and his eyes were puffy. "What's wrong?" Finally, he snapped his gaze on me and a soft smile plastered onto his face. "W-what? Nothing."

I shook my head, knowing well that he was lying. I didn't let that get to me though, "seriously...don't lie to me. Something's bothering you so tell me." I wasn't one to be so demanding but I was worried about him. He squeezed his eyes shut and dropped his head down low. "I need to tell you something. I don't...I don't want you to freak out."

My jaw clenched and my face paled at his words. It wasn't something I was expecting. Technically, he didn't do anything wrong but I was slightly hurt and worried that Riley was to come meet me and that she still, apparently, 'loved' Shawn. I was never the jealous type but hearing her name...it made my skin crawl and my jaw clench. My trust in Shawn was stronger than ever so I truly had no problem with them being in the same room together, especially with me in it.

He looked at me with worried eyes, "I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you the second it happened but I didn't want to...stress you out and I know...I know this is weird and out of the ordinary. Believe me, I know. But, just know that I love you and only you." He kissed the tip of my nose, holding me close. "I know. I love you too." Our lips connected in a sweet and slow kiss.

The rest of the day solely freaked me out. I was terrified. I trusted Shawn but I don't know if I trusted Riley. From what I've heard, she didn't seem like someone I could get along with. But, with that being kept in mind, I wasn't about to be rude to her for no reason without getting to know her first. It would be unruly of me.

Fortunately, I had time to myself to freak out whilst Shawn was running late at the office of his gym. I was reading a book named "the best kind of broken" and honestly, I would usually never settle down for this kind of book due to my lack of belief in love but now, since I'm in love, the book was something to relate to in the most weird ways. I was interrupted by the sound of the obnoxious doorbell ringing. Shawn would never ring the doorbell and god knows when Riley was supposed to show up.

I opened the door to be met with a blonde, a bit taller than me with the bluest of eyes. She was a beautiful looking women. "Hey...Camila? Is that it?" She asked, the undertone of bitterness lingered and I caught on quickly. "Yeah. You're...Riley?" I most definitely knew it was but her nod of the head was confirmation and I moved away to let her in. She took a seat on our love seat and looked around the living room. I shifted around, uncomfortably. I had no idea what to do or what to say to her and honestly, I didn't have much to say to her anyways.

"I'm surprised this house is actually decorated. Shawn never let me change anything in this house." I knew it was somewhat wrong to feel a sense of happiness at her bitter statement but I did. It was cooling to know that Shawn had let me redecorate his home, which is now ours, before anyone else could. "Yeah...he likes it." I awkwardly sat next to her, offering her something to drink but she declined.

Camila
Your ex is here and not gonna lie to you, it's pretty awkward lmao. Come home!!!

Shawn
Oh shit. Sorry. I didn't know when she was coming. Traffic is crazy, be home soon. I love you.

Camila
Be safe. I love you too.

"Camila, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like you." I rolled my eyes, "the feeling is mutual, believe me."
