"I'm going to miss you jakie" I pout ruffling my brother's hair
"Stop that laï" I hated it when he called me that and he knew. he gives me a quick grin before pulling me into a hug
although i felt like crying any minute i was going to stay strong for my brother who was leaving to new york for his new work as an actor
" i'm really going to miss you" i mumble
" I'm going to miss you too, but hey when i come back you will be the sister of the guy who is famous," he says and grins
"yeah yeah just step into that airplane please"
"Bye dad," Jake says pulling my dad into a hug. my dad always acted like he was a big though man deep inside I could feel his heart shatter by his first kid leaving the house
although jake was almost 21 he still lived with us in the same house and now he was moving away, for a really long time
"i love you guys, don't forget about me" jake winks our way before grabbing his luggage and making his way to the gates.
my dad wraps his arms around me and hugs me tightly to his body
"do you think he will look back" i whisper
"no, that's not like Jake"
__________
going to school after saying goodbye to my brother at 5 in the morning wasn't my smartest idea
my dad told me to stay home for today but no ofcourse i needed to go to school
what a good student i am
i've only had one class and i think i could fall asleep anywhere, and i mean anywhere
i enter my english class and smile towards our oh so sweet teacher only to receive a cold glare
well what a bitch
i sit down and lay my head on my table
"god you look horrible" i hear someone say and my head shots up.
elijah smiles at me sweetly before sitting down by my side and xander sitting behind us
"i know, i was up at four in the morning. how do you expect me to look like a goddamn princess right now"
"i always look good" xander comments and i chuckle before the devil walks in
can't he just like, i don't know. get ran over by some cows because i really don't want him here
"hey skittles, boys" he says and sits down next to xander. we all mumble a hi
at the starting of this week xander and elijah both told me they 'hated' shawn's guts but i think that was slowly starting to change as i see them all do some boyish handshake
"did you guys do the assignment" he whispers as Ms. jones starts talking
"assignment?" i look at him and he smiles and nods
i almost turn around before realizing something
"what the hell you just smiled" i whisper shout
"and?"
"you never smile, you always smirk or grin. i can't believe i got to experience this moment. call the news paper someone"
"miss Martinez. want to share something with us?"
"no thank you miss" i try to stay polite but how impossible is that when you're with 3 boys who are all laughing at you
"no tell me, i want to laugh too" she lets outs a fake laugh as her icy glare returns
what did i ever do to her gosh
"we were just talking about, eh yeah about zebras being white or black or black and white you know. i think we will never know the answer" i give her my best smile and shawn lets out the biggest laugh
"i need to go pee" he laughs and walks out of the class
"since you want to be so funny miss, you can be funny in the principals office. take shawn's bag too because he's not coming back either"
i sigh but decide not to do anything.
"bye my friends" i tell xander and elijah and they laugh and wave
i grab shawn's and mine bags and make my way out of the classroom
i walk towards my locker to put my bag in because damn, it feels like there are rocks in there instead of school books
just as i close my locker shawn comes around the corner and sees me
"hey" he says and starts laughing again
"it wasn't that funny asshole, by the way you got send away because of me being too funny"
"that was too funny skittles, your face finished it all" he says and starts laughing again
okay his laugh is beautiful don't mind me but, he was laughing at me which i didn't appreciate so i slam his bag into his chest which for him probably felt like a high five and walk away
no way i was going to the principals office
"wait where are you going right now, there's still 30 minutes left of class" shawn asks following me
"i dont know, outside i guess. it's warm" i loved summer with all of my heart. winter was my worst time of the year. besides santa coming to town i was sitting inside all day until it was warm again
"want to grab some food" he asks and i look at him weirdly
"since when are you being nice to me"
"i've always been nice to you skittle, you just can't see it" i roll my eyes at that
"yeah you were so nice when you walked into me and told me to watch my step"
"i had a rough morning, lets be friends" he says sticking out his hand for me to shake
i look at his hand and i look at his hand and i look at his hand as he lets out a sigh
"i'll buy you some food"
and i shook his hand
__________
going to mcdonald's with shawn wasn't as bad as i thought. he bought me food as promised and we talked about everything and nothing
he made me even laugh one time
afterwards we were sitting in his car and i thought he was bringing me back to school because we already skipped a whole class and lunch but boy i was wrong
"wait this is not the way to school shawn" i tell him and he chuckles
"i can see that skittles, i'm not going back to school"
"are you kidding me, my dad is going to kill me" i groan and he laughs
"want to hang out at mine?" he asks
"no, please bring me home"
"but skittles" he whines and gives me one of his best pouts
"no shawn, bring me home"
"you're so boring"
"like i care about your stupid opinion"
ten minutes later we arrive at my house and i step out of the car ready to say goodbye as i turn around but i see him getting out too
"what the hell are you doing mendes"
"if we're not hanging out at mine, we're hanging out at yours"
why, why does he need to make my head so tired
"go home shawn" i say and walk towards the entrance of my home and i think he actually left when i heard the car door close a second after but i turn around and see him walking towards me
"i'm really bored, skittles. please let me just hang out here. i'll let you do your things" he whines
"fine but i swear i'll kick you out if you get annoying with me" i point my finger out to him and he nods fast as i open the door and he walks in before me
"when are your parents getting home" he asks me as he makes himself comfortable on the couch pulling of his jacket
"my dad is getting home at eight tonight" i awkwardly tell him. i never really told anyone about my mom and i didn't think i was ready to tell him too much about it
"and your mom?"
"my mom is kind of not in the picture anymore" i tell him
"what do you mean"
"i haven't seen my mom in 5 years, i don't want to talk about it" i snap and he nods before awkwardly grabbing his phone
i grab the remote and start watching a movie laying down on the couch so my feet are next to shawn
"i'm sorry i snapped at you" i sigh softly
"sorry i asked something kind of personal" he replies back
"it's fine. it's just hard to talk about, and the fact that i don't even know you."
"then lets get to know each other skittles. i want to get to know you" he says and grabs my hand pulling me up to sit next to him
"lets play twenty questions" he says and i nod "you start mendes"
"full name"
"Alaïa Elizabeth Martinez, tell me your name now" i tell him and he chuckles
"nice name elizabeth, my full name is Shawn Peter Raul Mendes"
"nice name peter raul" i copy his action
"which country do you want to visit before you die" i ask him and he thinks for a second
"the netherlands, amsterdam is beautiful. i need to go there once in my life, what about you"
"i guess i just want a whole road trip around europe. i mean how amazing would that be"
"so you also want to visit the netherlands huh, how about we go together?" he smirks
"how about no, i want a trip to be fun" i give him my fake smile
"rude, okay next question. what clothes do you sleep in, or do you sleep naked?"
"okay how did we get here"
"just answer the question skittles" his smirk doesn't seem to be leaving his face anytime soon so i decided to have some fun with it
"it depends on the fact if i'm alone in my bed or not" i raise my head to see his mouth wide open and shuffle a bit around on the couch "what about you shawnie" i smile sweetly
________________
shawn
"it depends on the fact if i'm alone in my bed or not" her head raises up and she gives me a little smile. "what about you shawnie"
that turned me on, so bad...
don't judge me okay, I'm a teenage boy
i try to gain my confidence but it's hard to find when she's looking at me knowing that she had just won that question
"mostly i just wear underwear to bed, but with you in my bed i would sleep naked if you would want me too" i wink her way and she laughs and slaps my arm
"stop being a horny asshole, asshole"
"how can i not when you're around" i tell her and she slaps me again this time on my chest
"you're so annoying"
"you love it"
"I could never love your attitude, you really suck"
"Suck my ass, Skittles"
"Id rather not thank you"
"are you sure?" I ask her and grin. She gasps before hitting my arm
"You're such a boy, get out of my house"
"How about no"
"Yes"
"No"
"Go away"
"You go away"
"This is my house" she grabs a pillow and presses her head into it letting out a frustrated scream
I didn't know what made me feel so intrigued by her. Maybe it was her sassy personality, or her beauty
I knew I was an ass to start with but I had problems on my own and I didn't need any girl to try and fix it, but yet here I am
"Want to watch a movie?" I grab the remote and turn on the TV
"Shawn" she groans "this is my house, stop acting like I'm the guest"
I stick my tongue out and search for a movie on Netflix
"What do you want to watch Skittles" I ask her and she thinks for a second before laying down her head against the arm of the couch pulling her legs over my thighs
"Something fun please" she whispers putting some pillows under her head as she closes her eyes
"Are you really letting yourself choose a movie when you're probably only going to sleep" i question and she chuckles and nods
"My house, my rules. Lets watch friends"
I sigh and put on friends. There was a part where phoebe is singing her hit smelly cat and I instantly cringe.
"She's a pro" I hear Alaïa whisper her eyes half closed and I smile
We watch four episodes with me complaining about most things as she just ignores me before I realize her eyes are closed and she deeply inhales her breaths.
I look at her for a second before lowering the sound of the tv and softly grabbing her legs laying them on the couch so I could stand up
I grab a blanket and lay it over her body before writing a small note leaving it next to her and making my way out of the house
