My Blue Eyed Blondie

Part Twenty Two - ily

You and Shayne were in the games room alone.
"What the fuck Shayne!" You exclaimed, pacing the length of the room.
"Y/N I'm so sorry. I don't even remember saying it!" He said apologetically.
"That's even worse." you muttered. You stoped walking, tears filling in your eyes. "How... how do I know any of that was true Shayne? You said yourself you don't even remember. What if it was all a drunken lie!" Your sadness bubbled into anger as you started shouting again. "How do I know you actually love me Shayne!" Your sentence trailed off "How, how do I.."
"I've told you I loved you before Y/N, whys it different this time?" Shayne asked.
"It's different because this is my job, OUR jobs on the line." You panted "without this job I'll be stuck in Harry and Damien's house in the guest room. Without this job I'm left useless and alone just like I was in Arizona. Without this job I wouldn't have you Shayne!" Your speech trailed off as you try to get your breath back. You burst out crying again, letting out an audible weep.
"Hey, hey, baby. Calm down." Shayne cupped his hands around your cheeks and looked you deep into your tear struck eyes. "I love you Y/N. Ever since you walked into our office just your eyes left me speechless. I love everything about you, the way you bite your lip when you're nervous, and the fact you can't say frothy coffee."
You giggled at his remark and looked away. He gently pulled your chin up so you were looking at him again. "I love your compassion, curiosity and confidence. I love you *Your full name*" You burst into tears as Shayne gently placed a kiss in your lips.
"I love you too Shayne." you replied. he pulled you in and placed a hand on the back of your head. As you pulled away be gently placed a kiss on your forehead and smiled at you.

You left the room closely followed by Shayne and you were greeted by a crowd of your friends making themselves look busy to avoid suspicion. It was clear they were listening to everything so you two just stood and stared at them.
"Well?" A voice said.
You and Shayne exchanged a glance. and he proceeded to say
"HA! Pranked! We got you guys so good. Uh yeah!-"
He was having a little celebratory dance before you playfully smacked him around the arm.
"Really dude." you replied in monotone clearly joking.
"Sorry babe." he smirked. "Me and Y/N are together. And we're really serious. So Ian if I lose my job I don't care. I love this woman. And Damien, buddy I am so sorry we didn't tell you. I know Y/N is like a sister to you so I need you to know I will love and and respect her with my whole heart and I don't.." His statement ran on i to a speech before Ian stepped forward.
"Shayne hey it's fine. You two are really cute together and I trust you two will be able to work while in this relationship. Congrats guys." Ian gave the two of you a group hug. And wiped a tear from his eye. "Ugh sorry I'm just so happy!" You all laughed at him. As Ian stumbled off to the toilet Damien came forward and placed a hand on Shayne's shoulder.
"Look after my pumpkin well. She deserves the world. I love you both so much." He hugged Shayne then hugged you. "Congratulations to two of my favourite people!"
A loud bang came from the other room making you all jump and some scream. Noah came running out from the kitchen with a bottle of champagne. "TO Y/N AND SHAYNE!!" He announced running around pouring champagne over everyone.
The crowd of friends turned in to a brouhaha of excitement. As they did so Shayne turned to you and placed a hand on your cheek. He smiled a big grin before planting a passionate kiss on your lips, taking your breath away.
"I love you." You whispered.
