I pulled my designer sunglasses back on, and hurried through the airport. My hand, intertwined with Shawn's, was beginning to feel numb. My heart beat was slowing. Shawn could sense my change in attitude and he drew me closer to his warm side. 

A group of girls giggled and began pointing at us. I looked around nervously. I was never nervous to go some where in public. Ever. But today was different. Today was the first day Shawn and I had stepped out in public together. 

I was decked out in my one of my statement outfits. I ran my hands down my tight black and gold designer pants. My black Oscar de La renta blouse and ripped Gucci jean jacket matched Shawn's outfit. My beautiful Louboutin heels clicked against the floor, and I smirked. I was always one for a sparkling entrance. I was recognized regularly, and I was accustom to the stares. I had on my beautiful Diamond chains, and my finger dripped in diamond rings. His hands held my hip possessively as a camera shutter began to go off. 

We walked forward and kept our heads held high. I knew Shawn was staking his claim on me. I could sense the tension surrounding him. 

"Shawn?" I whispered. 

He looked down at me. "Yeah baby?" 

"You okay?" I pecked his chin. 

He smiled gently. "I am with you here beside me." His gentle voice soothed my nerves. We had begun dating about a week ago, and it had been bliss. 

"Hun, you know I am trying my best." I mumbled. He nodded and held me closer. As we strode towards our gate, I saw everyone's eyes turn and follow us. I could feel the glares from fan girls and the flashes from the cameras.  

"Celia! Look over here please!" Someone yelled. 

Shawn and I kept moving through the airport until we made it to the rental area. I walked to the counter and grabbed the rental keys. 

"Babe, what kind of car did you rent?" Shawn asked as we strode passed all the cars in the lot. 

"You know me." I smirked and pressed the unlock button on the keys. "I only arrive in style." 

He rolled his eyes and laughed. We stopped at a gold Lamborghini. 

"It looks like yours!" He laughed even harder and kissed my temple. 

I smiled and we put our stuff into the car. We got in and I drove us from the airport to my childhood home. Shawn and I got out and began the walk to my front door. I knocked and my mom answered. 

"Ce!" She smiled and wrapped me in a hug. I laughed and she squeezed me hard. She released me. "Shawn!" She gave him a hug and ushered us into the house. "How have you two been?" 

"Good, good." I laughed. My dad came and gave me a hug, and then he grasped Shawn's hand. 

"Sir." He smiled and nodded at my father. 

"Shawn." My dad smiled back. "Good to see you." 

Shawn had called my parents and asked permission to date me before we became official. My parents had met him before so for them it wasn't hard. I smiled and we chatted, while we started dinner. 

"How long are you here for?" 

"I am staying until Sunday, and Shawn has to head to Canada on Sunday as well. I am heading out to London, for a shoot." I smirked. "I came back to help Tiff plan her wedding. And I may have dragged Shawn along to help, and offer his services to sing at the wedding." I smiled at my boyfriend. 

"Did she rope you into this?" My dad laughed. 

"Yeah, but I don't mind." Shawn smiled and pulled me tighter against him. "She's too beautiful to say no to." 

"Aw, you are just a charmer." I giggled and he kissed my temple. 

"Only for you princess." His eyes lit up. 

I softened my smile and looked up at him. His arm roped around my shoulders and I curled my fingers in his. 

My mom smiled at us and my dad grinned. I could tell they were both happy for me. We had dinner and then I showed Shawn where he would be spending the evening. 

"You get my brother's old room." I giggled. 

"Is that a bad thing?" He rose his brow. 

"No, just, be careful." I laughed and he opened the door. He smiled and gave me a look. 

"It isn't bad." He looked down at me. "Night babe." He dropped a kiss on my lips. "I'll see you in the morning." 

"Night hun." I looked up at him, and he kissed me again. 

"What's tomorrow?"

"We are meeting Daniel and Tiffany for their wedding planing." 

"Right, Okay." He smiled and kissed me again before closing the door. I walked to my room and fell against my bed. I snuggled into the covers and closed my weary eyes. I knew tomorrow the headlines would be buzzing with news of me and Shawn. This was our final night of secrets. Tomorrow it would be over. 

And we would be under the public eye. And he would know. He would know. 

I slipped unconscious and my mind fell quiet. My body slowed and my heart thumped. Slowly I drifted into nothingness.
