Saving Her

Chapter 53

A little time has passed since the day Shawn and I talked in the park.  We have continued to go to therapy both separately and together.  I feel like going as a couple is really helping us and healing us.  Shawn has been more open with me as well and we've talked through everything that led to our five days being apart.

We are currently sitting on the couch at Brian's house.  Tiffany is on the other couch in his living room and we are waiting for Brian to come back with pizza.  Now that we are both official couples, we are trying to do couples hangout things.  We don't frequent bars or go to movies, but we most nights just take turns at each other's houses hosting game nights or movie nights.

Brian comes back with the pizza and we turn on the movie and each couple takes a couch, getting all snuggled in.  Shawn hands me a piece of Hawaiian pizza and he grabs a pepperoni for himself.

"I will never understand people who like pineapple on their pizza.  Fruit is just not made for pizza." Brian shakes his head in disbelief in my choice of pizza.

"And I'll never understand a guy like you who eats nothing but cheese pizza and spends hours talking about how it's the most quintessential pizza of all time!" I quip back, sticking my tongue out at him.

He turns to Shawn "Dude your girl is being mean to me!" He whines with a pouty face.

"Good job baby!" Shawn smirks as he reaches over and kisses my cheek.  "Dude seriously Brian, I don't know how Tiff puts up with you sometimes." He laughs as now he's teasing Brian about his taste in pizza.

"It's okay Bri bear...I love you baby." Tiff says in a baby voice as she attempts to kiss his smug look off his face.  When that doesn't work, she turns his head towards her and kisses him quickly.  He's slow to react so Tiffany takes it a step further and gets up and sits on his lap.  She pulls him into a kiss again and this time things get hot and heavy quickly.  They are kissing passionately, grabbing at each other.

Shawn and I can't avoid what we are seeing and I'm half tempted to cover my eyes in horror.  Obviously the movie is not getting watched and the pizza is getting cold.

When Tiffany lets a moan as Brian starts kissing her neck, Shawn and I take that as our cue to leave.  In a swift movement, they are now laying vertical on the couch.

"Oh my god Shawn...we have to get out of here!" I whisper shout.

"I'm right behind you!" He says back as we gather our things and head for the door.

"Wait!" He whispers.  "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" I say throwing my arms in the air.

A few seconds later Shawn returns with the pizza boxes and the movie we were going to watch.  His face red as a tomato.

"Let's go before I can't keep my food down!" He says quietly as he scoots me out the front door.

"What was that all about?" I ask once we get outside and head to his truck.

"You don't want to know baby; you don't want to know.  Let's just say, they won't notice we've left." He says...still with a deer in the headlights look and red cheeks.

Placing the pizza on the hood of his truck, he helps me climb in the passenger seat and gives my butt a little smack before I sit down.  I smile at the sensation and let out a small laugh.  In the time since the day at the park, we have tried to be more flirty and handsy.  Going to therapy together has really helped us figure out the first steps into being more intimate and not just kissing and cautiously feeling our way around each other.  During one of my solo sessions with my therapist, she encouraged me to experiment with myself and ultimately Shawn so we could work on being more physically intimate because I feel like that's the only thing that's missing in our relationship now.

I know Shawn said he would wait as long as I needed, but every time we kiss or make out and our hands find different places to explore, it gets harder and harder for me to deny that I don't want him to touch me here or there.

Anyway, shaking my head to clear my thoughts as Shawn climbs in the drivers side, we head home.

It's later so I know mama and Sofi are sleeping, so we take our pizza and sneak upstairs into our room.

Shawn puts the movie in and I change into his; I mean my...favorite sweatshirt and leave myself in just my panties underneath.  Shawn goes and changes into his boxers and a T-shirt. 

Sitting on the bed, we feed each other bites of pizza as we watch the movie, laughing along the way at the funnier parts.

During a particularly steamy scene in the movie, I feel myself start to sweat a little.  I turn to Shawn and see him looking back at me with a little spark in his eye.

"Oh no Mendes.....what's that look for?" I say I mock horror.

"Oh nothing...just thinking how much better we are at kissing like that." He says as he points to the screen; smirking like a fool.

"Haha oh my goodness Shawn! Really?" I giggle as his eyes bore into mine giving me a look that silently asks for permission to touch me.

Getting up from the bed, he grabs the empty pizza boxes and puts them on the table in our room and comes back to me on the bed.

As he sits down he grabs me from my waist and in one foul swoop, I'm sitting on his lap, knees on either side of his hips.  I squeal in excitement at the movement.

"Can I kiss you baby?" He asks. I quickly nod and soon enough his lips are on mine. His hands grip my waist as I slowly bring my arms around his neck and play with the few unruly curls in the back.

"Mmm that feels good babe." He hums in appreciation when we break for air.

"Good!" I smile at him. "You make me feel good too."

He smiles at me so big as he leans in to kiss me again and we spend most of the rest of the movie kissing, running our hands over different parts of each other. Each touch building my confidence and desire to try new things with him. I'm still not ready for sex, but I want to try other things.

We break away again and I take the chance to whisper seductively in his ear that "I'm ready to try something more."

At that I feel his breath hitch against my skin and his grip tighten around my waist where his hands have returned to after running them up and down my spine, squeezing my ass and running them through my hair.

"Are you sure?" He whispers and with that I nod my head yes.

He starts trailing kisses down my neck, up by the shell of both ears and down to my collarbone before I let out a small moan.

Shawn continues to hover his lips over my skin as a chill runs down my spine. Leaving feather like kisses in his wake, I grab a handful of his curls as I pull his lips back up to mine and kiss him again.

We keep kissing until we hear the end credits from the movie playing in the background. We giggle against each other's lips as we untangle ourselves and Shawn gets up to take care of the movie and the pizza boxes.

He tells me he's going to run downstairs quick and will be right back. I pull the covers back and wait for him.

Once he's back, he closes and locks the door. He comes over to his side of the bed and climbs in. I'm instantly at his side holding onto him like a koala. I feel his chest move as he giggles and soon enough we fall asleep for the night.
