Shawn's POV

After greeting goodnight to Lou , me and ...uh..Niall headed towards the further side of the hallway , where possibly my room must be there...
The only sound of our patting of foots on the floor was heard and there was a pin-drop silence which was shockingly comfortable too....

"You have grown up, Shawn.."

"You too.."

I wasn't able to comprehend what to reply him to that...I don't know why but there was this different type of emotion within me which made me more than comfortable just by walking along side with him yet made me squirm when he would say anything that is directed to me....

"So ...You write songs? Mum told me that before...Actually she told me so many things but this was what carved in the back of my mind.."

Were other things of mine not good enough to be remembered..But that doesn't mean he is bad ...I know I have nothing in specific that is incredible enough that one would like to think about it...

"No ...It's not like that ...I know what she told ..Everything..It's just I want to talk about your career opportunities ...Because according to her and what I predicted from her praisings , you should be given those chances to make your future brighter....Well personally I know it would have been a very tough decision for you to say 'yes' to marry me; as I haven't even spoke to you before at the age of maturity but you still do...So don't worry about having any trouble in our married life ..You know..You can ask me anything if you need any help...I-I ...I'll be your best friend...."

The way he uttered the last sentence made my heart to jump and flutter to an unknown rhythm ....His eyes were holding sincerity and from the way he was talking about all those things with me , it felt like they were precious enough for me like the vows of marriage....

"Yeah..Me too..You know, when mum told me about marrying someone , I was having this weird feeling that maybe that person would be after my money or just for the sake of my reputation but when she said it's you, I completely agreed without any further questioning....."

With the last sentence , he haulted his foot's movement signing that we have reached the destination...And looking at him while he confessed this , I indeed reached my destination....That pure and heavenly destination....

"Uh..Will you say something, Shawn?"

I was brought back to earth, when I saw his eyes turned with the feeling of worry in them as he cautiously asked me the question....

"Uh..um..A-actually ...I don't k-know what to say ..I-I didn't expected that y-you'll tell me th-ose things to be honest....I feel like you a-are giving me more praising than I-I deserve? But this is ...Jesus.This is so much new for me...Y-you know no one have ever said anything like that to m-me before and there wa-s this thought in my mind ? I know Aunt Maura cleared that doubt out but s-still I was having this wrong be-lief that when you'll know m-me ....Maybe you'll f-eel tha-at I am dum-b and don't deserve to be y-your husband...Because look at m-me...Just tod-day itself I came to know t-that boy can marry a bo-y..So who would li-ke to be with a si-lly vill-age boy..And-"

"Shhh....Breathe,Shawn...!"

Niall suddenly took me in his arms and patted my back which didn't ceased but increased the feeling of being taken cared or liked by someone ....I was not crying but I felt like I was internally sobbing for having such person with me ... My voice was caught in my throat and I felt like I have ran for thousands of miles ...

"I would have never judged you ,Shawn....Never...I know you might be feeling insecure still , but I promise you that you'll be bidding them farewell sooner..."

"Th-..Thank you so much Niall ...I never imagined that my life will turn into something so much delectable like this...Thank you..."

"Don't need to thank me....Now, you must be tired so go to sleep..This is your room and the one in the end of the hallway is mine..So whenever you require anything just come to my room or call me out , yeah?"

"Yes.."

We broke our embrace and I turned to enter the room...Before I can enter , Niall called my name again and I was faced by the face which was so much complicated to point out of what that person might be thinking....

"I actually ..w-wanted to apologize to you..."

"What's there to apologize, Niall?You haven't done anyth-"

"No..I broke our promise, few years back..."

I felt like the whole world of mine stopped....I was taken back to that year when I didn't received any letter or gift from Niall ...That was the most awful year of my life...I was not elder enough to feel those things but still my heart somehow learnt to feel them....

All the reasons were crystal clear in front of me and those were not against the act that was done by Niall of not sending me anything or living in contact with me just like he promised to do..But beyond those things too , my soul was crying for feeling betrayal from my only best friend....It was that instinct thing that was not at all handled by me for almost 18 months...Those were the miserable jizzies of my life....But somehow I made it out of it...

And now here is that same person apologizing for something that wasn't actually his fault...

"It wasn't l-like you know..That wasn't in ou-r han-"

"IT WAS...IT WAS IN MY HAND, SHAWN...BUT I DIDN'T TRY..I WAS SO MUCH INVOLVED IN PROVIDING THE BEST LIFE TO EVERYONE THAT I LEFT YOU BEHIND BEING A SELFISH BASTARD I A-"

"Sh..Don't say those things , Niall...I-I know what you must be feeling...That's so weird but sti-ll I think I know that feeling...I am glad t-that you still remember that prom-.. promise and that's more th-an enou-ugh for me , Niall...That's so mu-uch precious to me..So never b-blame yourself for t-that..."

I saw his eyes softened a bit as they held it's contact with mine..It was reflected in his eyes that he was pouring out everything that was stiffly caged inside him all those time...The relief flashed over his face when I offered him a small smile ...

"You are something else , Shawn..You have always been..."

"You too, Niall..."

We looked at each other for few moments which made me feel like we were catching up with what we left all those years...He was analysing my face and I was studying the way he was trying to learn me just by mere looking....

That felt innocent, pure and intense feeling all at once...The way he didn't say anything but uttered every possible words by his eyes were more than enough for me to be content with my decision...

"You should take rest..You have no idea how much mum and Anne will get you and Lou wasted tomorrow..."

We both chuckled at his reason because it that was the reflected truth about aunt Maura and aunt Anne...

"Yes.. You must be having work to do too so.."

I added after we both haulted our laughing session..He was indeed a successful business man though I wasn't aware of what he does , but something great was sparkling in him that was screaming great and successful person unlike me...

"Oh yes....So..Goodnight it is...Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything...Yeah? "

"Yeah..Okay..Thank you..Good night.."

I returned him one last smile when I saw him waiting for me to reply...I turned my back and it felt like deja vu when he called me again which paused my motion...

I smoothly turned around and was met with his eyes filled with a bit mischief in them...Before I can question why did he call me , his words were spiralling in my mind , unable to leave anytime soon...

"You can ask if you want any cuddle buddy...."

"W-what?"

There was one unknown feeling erupting within me that was very hard to define..All I felt was to hide somewhere away from him because my cheeks were burning and that was ACTUALLY felt by me....This was my very first time to experience something like this...

"I mean we have Dobby, my dog..He is the great cuddler so he can help you out...What did YOU think?"

His face was shining under the small LEDS and his lips were curled into an evident smirk that made one feel so many things all at once...But still undefining unknown things....

"Uh..I-I d-didn't actually t-th-"

"Easy there, Shawn...I was just kidding...Good night .sweet dreams.."

And before I can reply to his greets, he was striding towards the further way in the hallway , probably to his room...But what caught my whole night was the way he turned around and winked at me and started whistling while walking towards his room..

I stood there for few minutes trying to settle all the emotions which were bubbling inside me by just one mere talk...When I was back to think properly , I entered the room and again the brain of mine was at loss of thoughts ...

The room was elegant would be an understatement..It felt like I have never ever been to such an amazing room in my entire life...And now that I have this chance to stay in such kind of room , my feet are betraying me and I am not even able to grope that chance easily...

I silently sighed knowing that maybe I am making a big issue out of nothing ....I entered the room and head towards the baggage that was settle at the foot of the bed.In normal circumstances I would have spend reasonable amount of time in admiring this room but I knew if I would do that now that I am going ti regret it as I would feel inferior to live here..

So ignoring my inner desire to opt for admiration, I opened the zip of my bag and got my night suit to get freshen up for bed...I glanced at the room for bathroom door and when I found it on my right, I went there causionly knowing that this place worths more than I would have seen in my entire life..It felt like I was in some new place and knowing how rich it was , I felt to avoid touching anything and it just happened...

I opened the door , and there was the view which made all my trials to not to feel inferior living here come back to me...My mouth hang open knowing that there were so many things here, which I don't even know how to spell and so I was unaware of its use...

I slowly stepped inside and closed the door behind me without locking it because if I wouldn't be able to open that difficult lock then that would be a problem..

I kept my clothes on the platform along with my towel and was wondering about to start a bath...But before I can get more nervous about it I saw a note stick over one of the taps ...

I picked it up and went through it..
The whole method of how to use that tap for shower was written ending it with a greeting by aunt Anne..

My heart was filled with love and so much gratefulness knowing that she was doing so much for us and this wasn't something which one would remember to do but still she was taking care of whether we are comfortable here and without any shame or mockery, she was helping us out..

I didn't know few tears slipped past my eyes but then I decided to just get ready for bed as it was already late at night..So I followed the steps and found it was just easy and the thing that impressed me was that the water was not cold unless you want it to be unlike in village..

I changed my clothes and started arranging some pillows on the bed..When I saw everything was perfectly arranged and I was ready to sleep....

I turned the lamp off and rested my head on the pillow welcoming the moonlight flashing on my face....The small smile spread over my face thinking about what a day can turn into something so unexpected gift...

I drifted to sleep after my heart was content and was certain about the fact that I actually got to meet that person after so many years...

~

I was awaken by now as per my daily routine....The sun was still not up rising nor were the stars and the moon were absent...This was the perfect time of mine to wake up early in the morning no matter how late I had sleep...

I was seated for 5 mintues then went to brush my teeth and bath to get ready to write something...to write songs.. I wasn't knowing how to play any instrument but it was my instinct that I use to get some music in my mind so I would write down few lyrics going with the music...

When I was ready , I got my book and quill out to write down the lyrics that has been playing in my mind in my dreams and before drifting to sleep...
I placed my book, quill and ink on the table and sat on the chair after switching on the lamp...

And I know that we just met
And maybe this is dumb
But it feels like there was something-

And then I was blank like I was all those times when I was having these lines...I scribbled some lines out of the rhythm because that was what I use to do...When after so many trials I didn't get any perfect line the sun was already rising and it was almost 6 in the morning....

I decided to head back downstairs knowing that someone would be awaken by now...So I kept my book inside the drover and let my other belongings untouched....

I recalled the way back to the living room and after a bit of struggle I was in the living room....I saw the house was silent but there were some voices coming from the kitchen area and my legs started striding to that way...

"But why so early...You promised you would be staying here today...That's not good  of you, Mr. You know what would Shawn think!-"

"But mum they want me over there and I must go ...I am not here to ask for your permission but I am just informing you about this please try to understand this...I am guilty about this too but. I am leaving right now...Have to handle it soon...Bye love you..And sorry.."

As soon as I felt the footsteps becoming louder , I stepped behind the wall and was able to see the back of the only person who was leaving the house this early morning...

I sighed  knowing how much work this person must be doing and how he would have passed his days before by working so hard to have these things which are with him today...

I shook my head and head into the kitchen to find aunt standing there with her hands supporting the platform and her facial expressions were not at all disparting from those of sorrow ones..

"Hello aunt ..Good Morning..."

I intentionally added a more cheerful tone to lighten up her mood...

I saw she was surprised to find me there but within few seconds her face lit up with a wide smile on her face..

"Hey love! Morning...What are you doing this early morning? Were you not comfor-"

"Uh no no..It was great..really..I usually wake up early to write and yeah..What were you doing though if you don't mind me asking...?"

I asked her by standing next to her and glancing at the kitchen area..Everything here screams posh and I myself is feeling small...

"Um was preparing breakfast for Niall ..He..um ..sorry but he won't be joining us today..It's..I know-"

"No worries , aunt ...Work comes first..."

"No, sweetie..Family comes first and that's why he is going...He has to handle some matters...Well let it be...What should I make for breakfast..?Today's my turn to make...
"

"How about we both make it together..? Something different than usual?"

I asked her turning to face her and see whether my idea was better or not....I saw she was contemplating the thought and then she crushed me into a bone-tight hug....

"That's a good idea , Love...How about we start it now?Together? "

I chuckled at her excited state and said a small yes to which she literally danced to the another side of the platform to bring vessels that are required....

"Niall's gonna regret this..Anddddd we have to work hard to make him regret this more...Okay,son?"

"Um..B-but -"

"No buts and just move you butt we are going to be the best cooking partners ever and today's mission should be -Making you comfortable here..Now pass me the flour please..."

I passed the flour and listened to her plans to how to make Niall regret about leaving today....
Oh gosh ! How my life has changed in a good way though! Definitely...
