"Hi Shawn." I smiled up at him.

"Wow." He looked me up and down. "You look beautiful." 

I bit my lips and sat down. He sat in front of me and tenderly placed his hand over mine. The waiter came back and looked at Shawn. 

"Oh, hi." He shot him a smile. "I'll do a whiskey." 

The young waiter nodded and shot me a look. I kept my eyes trained on Shawn. "I've been thinking about your idea." 

He stroked the back of my hand. "Oh yeah?" His eyes twinkled. 

"I think I'd be willing to try." 

"Really?" He smiled. 

"Really." I nodded and smiled back. 

The waiter brought the whiskey and Shawn downed it quickly. We talked and then as the bass moved up, we moved to the dance floor. His hands were on my waist, my tight stomach. My mind whirled. His lips were on my neck. I moved my hands into his hair and tugged. He moved up and covered my mouth with his. I pulled away and looked at him. He knew what I was asking for. We left the club and headed to my place. 

--------------------------------------------------------

The sunlight pierced my shades, and landed on my eyelids. I turned and snuggled into the warmth beside me. 

"Morning baby." A kiss was placed on my forehead and I sighed. A hand curled around mine and I opened my eyes lazily. 

"Morning." I yawned. He lifted the covers and tangled our legs together even more. I stretched and looked at him through hooded eyes. "I should get up. I have a training session." 

I sat up and Shawn grabbed my hand and pulled me back down beside him. "Oh no you don't." He kissed my nose and wrapped his arms around my torso tightly. I sighed and cuddled against him. "You aren't leaving here quite yet." 

I smiled and turned in his arms. "You are gonna have to let me go at some point hun." I tapped his nose with my pointer finger. 

"Hmm. Let me think about that." He squinted. "No. I don't think I am." He laughed and I struggled to get up. I managed to wiggle free and I stood shakily. I grabbed my robe and threw it around my shoulders. 

"Ha!" I turned. "I did it." 

Shawn pouted at me from the bed. "You will regret that tonight." He smirked at me devilishly and I smiled at him. 

"I don't know about that." 

"Oh you will." He stood and walked to me. He placed a gentle kiss on my lips and I wrapped my arms around his bare torso. 

"I need to go to work." I whispered. 

"I'll be waiting for you here." He smiled. 

I nodded and slipped into the bathroom. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was covered in purplish marks. 

"SHAWN!" I yelped.

He stuck his head in the door and smirked. "Yes?" His eyes landed on the marks. "What is it baby doll?" 

"You left marks on me!" I looked up at him and pretended to be mad. He held his hands up in surrender. I huffed and looked at my neck closely. "This will take forever to clean." 

"Well, you weren't exactly complaining when I put them there." He smirked up at me from under his lashes. 

"Well aren't you smart." I sassed back. 

"Careful babe, that attitude and I'll have to help correct it." He wiggled his brows at me and drew me in close for a kiss. 

I melted into him and then pushed him away. "Okay, Mr. Mendes, get out of here. I need to get ready." I smiled and he walked out the door. 

I showered quickly and did my makeup. I covered all the marks and then walked into my bed room to see a smiling Shawn. 

"Hey, do you maybe wanna come back to my hometown with me?" I asked casually as I threaded an earring into my lobe. 

"When?" 

"Like, next week?" 

"Sure!" He smiled. "I would love to."

"OK. Its a plan!" I reached up and placed a kiss on his lips. "I'll see you tonight." 

"OK, bye love." He held my hand and we walked down to the parking lot. He helped me into my car and then walked towards his. I watched him walk. Had I found someone to replace the hole Jordan left? Was Shawn the one?
