Saving Her

Chapter 59

A few mornings later, I'm already downstairs making Shawn breakfast before work when he comes down the stairs tucking his uniform shirt in. My eyes follow him as he drops his duffel bag by the front door and walks to wrap his arms around me in the kitchen.

He reaches down and connects our lips gently. "You woke up before me." He whispers against my lips. "I did." I smile back. "I wanted to make you breakfast before your big day baby!" I say as I break free from his grasp and flip the pancakes and turn the sausages in the pan.

He reaches for me again, this time wrapping his arms around my waist from behind as his lips hover by my ear. "Thank you baby..." he says breathlessly as he nips at my lobe. Chuckling as his lips continue to my neck, he pulls me closer. "Breakfast smells good." He whispers as he leaves soft kisses at the base of my throat.

"Shawn..." I whine quietly as my head leans back against his shoulder and my eyes roll back. We are alone this morning and after our little escapade the other night, things have gotten hotter between us.

With my new found confidence and trust in Shawn, I allowed him to go down on me two nights ago and while I was extremely nervous because Andy was always quick and sloppy; Shawn was gentle and slow, listening to my needs and taking me to places I never thought possible. All fears I had of oral sex triggering a relapse dissipated the moment I came so hard in Shawn's mouth. He hummed appreciatively against my skin as we spent the rest of the night kissing, cuddling and whispering how much we loved each other.

He has been so amazing with me, never pushing me, never making me uncomfortable and always listening to me and going with the flow. A small part of me feels like I don't deserve him; but then he kisses me and he holds me and tells me I'm his "forever" and I can't help but believe him because with everything we've been through, he's been my rock through it all. He saves me every day; especially when things get tough.

Like today; as happy as I am for him, I need him to give me something to hold on to. It's his first day back in the field and while I'm happy and supportive on the outside, my insides are doing somersaults and I feel like I could be sick.

Pulling me out of my worry, the smell of the packages and sausage fill my senses as I turn the stove off and plate the food. Shawn is still attached to me as he continues his soft attack on my neck. His lips making me feel feather light as I fight to keep myself together.

Obviously Shawn has other plans as he spins me in his arms and props me up on the counter. Standing in between my legs, he kisses me passionately as I lace my arms around his neck playing with his curls. His tongues come out of play and we start fighting for dominance. I tug on his curls as a groan so sexy rips from his body.

"Mmmm Mila....you keep doing that and I won't want to go to work." He says slyly against my lips.

I giggle slightly as I kiss his lips quick and hop down off the counter, grabbing our plates before he can grab me again.

Like I said, things have definitely gotten hotter between us, but much else has stayed the same. He's still the most amazing friend and boyfriend ever and I love him with everything I have.

We sit at the table playing footsie as we eat our breakfast and share sweet kisses before it's time for him to go to work.

Brian knocks on the door and I know that's our cue that this morning is over and Shawn has to go to work. I'm glad Brian is coming to get him today; I'm so thankful that his friends are looking after him too.

Walking him to the door, I kiss him quick before he opens it to greet Brian.

"Hey bud! You ready?!" He asks and then turns to me. "Good morning Camila, you look great!"

"Thanks Bri!" I smile at him. Shawn nods in response as I can tell he's getting a little more nervous for today. We've gotten really good at reading each other.

Right now I know that he needs a hug, a kiss and for me to tell him everything will be okay.

I give Brian a knowing look as he takes that as his que. "I'll be in the car Shawn, come when you're ready. We still have time." Shawn nods again as Brian turns to go back to the cruiser.

Looking back at me Brian says "I got him Mila, I'll take good care of him." I reach up and kiss his cheek. "Thank you!" I smile at him before I turn my attention back to my lover.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss his lips, then his cheeks and finally the tip of his nose.

"Baby, you're going to be great! I'm so proud of you." I smile.

He smirks down at me before pulling me into a steamy kiss; his hands grabbing my butt. He squeezes gently as we both moan.

Breaking apart he grabs his duffel before kissing me again.  I'm too stunned, my cheeks flush as a small wave of embarrassment hits me.  He's never been so handsy in front of Brian before.

"I love Camila Cabello, I'll see you tonight!" He smiles at me, his eyes sparkling as I can tell his nerves have calmed down.

"I love you too Shawn Mendes!" I say as I reach up to connect our lips one last time. "I'll be waiting for you." I wink as he turns to walk to the car.

I wave goodbye to my two favorite guys before I close the door and call Tiffany. She's coming over to spend time with me during Shawn's shift since my mama and Sofi are out of town and I don't want to be alone.

As soon as she comes over, we head out and do some shopping and get our nails done, she's doing everything she can to make me feel at ease.  She knows this day is stressful for me.  I know I shouldn't worry, but can you blame me?

We have lunch at our favorite spot, heading home shortly after I get a text from Shawn telling me he's okay and so far so good. I feel relieved to know things are going okay and he hasn't had any major setbacks.

As the afternoon goes on, Tiffany helps me set up a romantic dinner I have planned for Shawn when he gets home. I mean...romantic in the sense that I ordered his favorite pizza and got his favorite beer since he has the day off tomorrow.

As we place the finishing touches, my phone rings. I squeal in excitement as I grab my phone thinking it's Shawn until I see my phone screen lighting up with Brian's name.

Trying not to think the worst, I just assume Shawn forgot his charger and answer the phone happily.

"Camila" he says quietly.  That's odd... Brian's usually so chipper on the phone.

"Hey Brian, why are you calling me? Where's Shawn?" I ask, anxiety slowly creeping in.  Shawn should be calling me.  What is going on?

There's silence on the other end for a few seconds before I hear him take a deep breath.

"Camila....You need to come now. Shawn's been shot."
