shawny boy: i'm picking you up at 8. be ready baby.

I smiled down at my phone. Surprise date? Shawn was never really one do anything romantic for me. Most of the time we spent together consisted of sitting around my loft and finishing several bags of chips together in one sitting. Which don't get me wrong, I loved doing. I loved doing anything with him. I was just excited to do something a bit different for once.

you: should i wear something casual or fancy??

shawn: surprise me (;

I rolled my eyes.Typical Shawn. Flirty, and horny as hell.

I eagerly skipped to my closet, spending a good ten minutes contemplating on what I should wear. I decided on throwing on a pair of black high waisted shorts, a grey halter top, and a brown flannel with the words "Los Angeles" printed in capital letters on the back. (media) It seemed casual enough for a walk on the beach yet dressy enough to go out and eat.

Not sure what to do with my hair, I quickly tied it up in a high ponytail, leaving a few strands out to frame the sides of my face. I usually wasn't big on makeup because Shawn made me feel like I never had to wear it, but because I wanted to look good for this date, I lazily swiped mascara on my eyelashes and spread a coat of chapstick on my pink lips. I looked at my reflection, satisfied with my finished appearance.

The doorbell rang right as I reached out to grab my wallet and phone, slipping on my converse as I opened the door.

"Oh, my God," I whispered when I saw the bundle of roses in Shawn's hand, his signature goofy smile playing on his lips.

I jumped into his arms, wrapping my legs around his torso as he started laughing.

"You got me them! You got me black roses!" I screeched, loosening my grasp around his neck a little when I saw his struggle to breathe.

"I knew you'd love them," he whispered into my ear as he let my legs go, kissing my cheek when my feet hit the ground.

"You're amazing Shawn, I hope you know that," I say as I take the flowers, heading back inside my loft to put them in a vase, "How in hell did you get these?"

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you like them," he beamed, wrapping his arms around my waist as I admired the beauty of the dark colored roses.

"A-Anyways, I have something planned for tonight, and we better leave soon," Shawn stuttered nervously, "you ready?"

"Yup," I piped, taking his hand and following him into his car.

I hop out of Shawn's Jeep, a blindfold covering my eyes as he led me towards whatever he had planned. I gasped as he untied the flimsy piece of cloth, letting it drop to the ground.

We were on top of a hill, far, far away from LA. I could tell by the way I could see the entire city from afar, each of the lit up buildings different from one another, the cars and hundreds of people reflecting the hustle, the avarice, the cupidity of a commercial world. Lit candles were scattered among the green field, making it look like the stars had fallen down from the night sky. A white cloth had been lain in the midst of it all.

"You did this all? For me?" I breathed, slowly walking over to the blanket. As I got closer, I realized a bottle of expensive looking champagne and two glasses were set up neatly, the way Shawn had to have everything. Perfect.

"Yeah, I hope it's okay," he mumbled from behind me. I turned around immediately.

"It's more than okay, Shawn, it's amazing," I giggle, snaking my arms around his neck, pressing my body against his.

I looked up at him, admiring his features for a moment. His light brown eyes almost looked green with the bright lights shining on them, his pale cheeks turning red as I stared at him with such intensity in my eyes.

His lips touched mine, gently, as if he was hesitant to kiss me. I intensified it immediately, parting his lips open with mine and tugging at the hair at the nape of his neck. Leading us toward the blanket, I lay down and pull Shawn on top of me.

We lost each other in that one kiss, that one movement of lips working in sync. We were speaking thousands of words without exactly saying anything, words that none of us would be able to explain aloud, but feeling a rush that would be impossible to perceive from anything but this.

We didn't stop until our lips burned. His chest rose and fell at a rapid pace, eyelids fluttering closed as he rolled his body off of mine and next to me.

"I actually brought you out here to tell you something. Well really, give you something," he began, breaking the silence, sitting upright and motioning for me to do the same. Confusion fogged my brain as he pulled something out from under the blanket.

"We're still young. And I know that. So that's why I'm giving you this," he said quietly, revealing what rested in his hands. It was a black box. My heart stopped.

"I-It's a promise ring, y/n," Shawn revealed, excitement yet nervousness bubbling in his eyes as he slipped the stunning diamond ring onto my finger. I began to cry. Hard.

"Don't cry, don't cry, listen," he whispered, looking deeply into my eyes and taking my hands in his.

"I know we're still eighteen. But I need you to understand that I'm here to stay. There are some feelings that are too much to ever be put into words, and hell, this is one of them. It's weird, you know, because I still remember the very moment I fell in love with you. It was November 16th, the day I'd realized that you'd been the only one to make me smile after three years of depression, the only one to make me even think that maybe I'm actually worth something to someone. I know that you think you aren't good enough for me, and I know that there are more words in your head that you can ever even begin to say to me and I'm trying to tell you that you don't have to say anything at all. You love me so quietly, with just a touch of your hand. When we kiss, there are earthquakes that get startled by the intensity you put into it, thunder that wishes it could be as loud as your love, tsunamis that can only
hope they could drown things the way you allow us to drown in each other. And that's what I love most about you. So I'm promising you forever. Do you promise too?"
