Something Small (Book #2 in the Shallison Series)-Completed

Chapter Sixteen

Allison's POV

A very sweaty Ian stood at the foot of our bed. Instinctively, I shied into Shawn's side. Shawn curled his body around mine, covering my exposed stomach and chest. I mean, it was just a bra. I'm sure Ian can handle seeing me in a sports bra. I internally rolled my eyes. Ugh boys.

Ian's chest heaved up and down as he tried to catch his breath.

"Ian, what are you doing here?" Shawn repeated.

Ian took a deep breath and began his story.

"I was walking down the street to Sara's house, I figured she would be cool with getting back together. Well um she wasn't, but that's not the point. So I saw this girl across the street, playing basketball. She turned around and oh my freakin God Ali, she looked just like you! Like identical! I went over to say hi but she pushed me over and ran inside the house. So I ran and I mean, RAN all the way here just to tell you guys." He scrunched his eyebrows as he took a closer look at us.

"Really? It's like barely 5:30 and you're already in bed together. She's already pregnant, Shawn. You can slow down a bit there buddy!" Ian smirked at Shawn.

My cheeks felt warm and I hid my face in Shawn's chest.

"It wasn't like that Ian." Shawn scolded him.

"Whatever, so you wanna go investigate that girl?" He changed the subject.

"No!!" Shawn and I both yelled.

"Why not? I'm a little curious as to why this girl looks and sounds exactly like you."

"Not tonight, Ian."

"Ugh fine." He turned towards the door to leave.

"Hey Ian!" I called as he began to walk down the stairs.

He turned around and looked at me.

"Make sure you lock the door, please."

Ian nodded and continued to descend down the stairs.

"How did he get it anyways?" Shawn asked.

"You told him where the key was, remember?"

Shawn looked puzzled.

"Oh wait, yeah I remember."

We both laughed and I leaned my head against his chest.

"Ali?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah?" I answered, not bothering to look up at him.

"What do you want for Christmas?"

I had to think for a minute.

"I don't know, I guess I already have everything I could ever need or want."

"Okay, well I'm still going to get you something." He said, kissing my cheek.

Shawn's POV
*The next morning*

I got up around 8 o'clock, Allison was still sound asleep upstairs. Meanwhile, I was hanging up decorations around the house and on the porch.

I grabbed my winter coat and the box of decorations and headed outside. When I was untangling the lights, I heard a noise from my parents house. It sounded like yelling. As I crept closer, I recognized Aaliyah's voice, but the other was a boy I didn't recognize.
The living room curtains were open. I leaned against the house, trying to hear. I had to duck real low because I was so tall.

The boy began to yell at my sister. Ugh I really hope nothing goes bad, if he touches my sister, I'll beat the shit out of him.

The yelling abruptly stopped as a loud crack rang throughout the house. I quickly looked up to see the boy holding his cheek, and my sister looking really pissed. I had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing. I can't believe she just slapped him.
