"I feel like all we do is eat out at the moment" Shawn pointed out as took a bite out if his cheese toastie.

"Is that necessarily a bad thing?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at him before wiping my mouth with a napkin.

"No, I just mean we never really have any homecooked meals anymore" Shawn rolled his eyes causing me to smirk.

"I'll cook you something amazing tonight" I laughed before taking a sip of my cup of tea.

"Good, because I'm missed your cooking so much" Shawn grinned, pleased with my answer.

"I'll even cook you a birthday breakfast in bed tomorrow if you're lucky" I smirked causing Shawn to pull a goofy face.

"Oh really?" Shawn rose his eyebrows.

"You got it babe" I winked before stabbing my fork into a piece of lettuce from my plate of salad.

Shawn grinned at me, letting out a soft laugh as I placed the piece of lettuce in my mouth.

After atleast another half an hour we had finally finished up with lunch and were now making our way back towards the car, specifically Shawn's which I had driven for the day.

"I'll drive us home, just let me quickly put my bag in the boot" Shawn said as he swiped the car keys from my hand, jogging his way over to the boot.

"Wait, don't go in the boot!" I quickly yelled, realising that I had put Shawn's birthday present in there.

"Why?" Shawn asked, a suspicious grin across his lips as he stopped at the boot.

"Because I said so" I replied, as I walked over to him.

Shawn rose his eyebrows at me as I took the bag from him, my facial expression revealing nothing to him.

He then took a step away from the boot, holding his hands up in the air as I waited for him to move.

"Get in the car" I said, refusing to open the book until he was out of sight.

"Fine" Shawn rolled his eyes, a smirk still playing on his lips.

"But it better be good arse present"

"Carry on and you won't be getting any presents" I joked, sending him an appointed look.

Shawn just let out a chuckle before walking over to me and pecking a quick kiss against my lips. Helplessly smiling into the kiss Shawn then flashed me another grin before walking round to the drivers side of the car.

Once I watched Shawn get into the car I went over to the boot and opened it up before placing Shawn's gym bag beside the box which held his present.

After doing so I then walked round to the passenger side of the car before jumping in.

"Anywhere else you need to go?" Shawn asked as I buckled myself up.

"No" I shook my head before turning my head round to see a small smirk growing onto Shawn's lips.

"Good" Shawn smirked as he started up the engine, slowly reversing us out of the parking spot.

"Because I do believe that you owe me something"

6:26pm

Feeling Shawn's grip tighten on my skin I felt his fingers squeeze on my thighs as he moved himself closer between my legs.

Our lips moved in perfect sync as I held onto the back of his neck, pulling him closer to me with every craving of his touch. I held my other hand on his shoulder as it rubbed back and fourth over his sweaty muscles.

With one hand still firmly on my thigh I felt his other move up to my waist, his fingers digging into my skin as they went under his shirt I was wearing.

"I'll never get tired of this, Elle" Shawn hummed against my lips before biting along my bottom lip, causing a muffled moan to leave my mouth.

"I just fucking love you so much" Shawn said breathlessly, refusing to leave a second of separation between our lips.

I couldn't help but smile as my cheeks burned with lust. Shawn had always had this habit where in moments of love and lust, moments which didn't even require sounds or talking, he would always find or have something to say.

When we're kissing he would always make sure to tell me how much he loves me, repeating it with every desired chance he gets. He would always compliment, tease and reassure.

It didn't matter what we were doing or where we were, he would always make sure that I'd know that I was loved. We could simply be watching a horror movie on the sofa and he'd still tell me how inlove he was with me, or I could even be on the toilet and he'd shout out 'I love you!'

"I want to tell you something" Shawn whispered as his lips left mine.

Opening my eyes I gave him a soft smile as I looked into his big brown orbs, something about them ,in this moment,being so delicate.

"Ofcourse, go ahead" I reassured as I brushed his hair back with my fingers.

"I'm scared, Elle" he said quietly, his voice soft as his plump lips drowned into a small frown.

Pulling my eyebrows together a little my eyes remained gentle as I watched a hazy curtain settle upon his eyes.

"Scared of what?" I asked carefully, feeling his arms move around me so he could pull me closer to his chest as I sat there with him inbetween my legs.

"Of losing you, or you losing me" he whispered, his eyes becoming a little glossy.

"Shawn-" I tried to comfort him but he was quick to start speaking again, this time his voice shaky and genuinely full of such sadness and fear which I had never heard before.

"I know you're not going to leave me and I know that I'm certainly not ever going to leave you but you're my greatest fear, Eloise"

I felt my eyes widen a little as they became even more soft and sympathetic as I watched the man I love slowly break down infront of me.

My heart helplessly broke in halve as I watched small tears fall down his cheeks, falling all the way along his jawline.

"What's your greatest fear, Shawn?" I gently asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"My greatest fear is that one day-" Shawn began before his words caused him to choke up a little.

Scratching my fingers through the back of his I gave him a small sympathetic smile as he let out a shaky breath.

"That one day, I'm going to have to continue my journey on this earth without you or you without me"
