A new story. :) And, yes, it's another Shules one. ^_^ I just love them. I can't stop thinking of ideas. Hopefully this fic will be complete before next week's episode.
"Shawn, it's not going to work."
"Can I at least try? Jules, please."
Juliet looked at Shawn, trying to give him a 'back off' look. But to no avail.
Shawn decided this was the best time to bust out his 'puppy dog begging' face, which always worked in most cases.
But Juliet wasn't having any of it. She had had enough of his antics for one day alone. Seeing him gave her chills. She didn't know what to think of him now.
She retreated to her car; away from Shawn.
Her car, though, was not a safe haven for long, because Shawn quickly followed her and entered the vehicle.
"Shawn, get out of my car." She was trying hard not to break down again. The past few days have been so hard.
"Not until you hear me out."
She was reluctant at first, but gave in when he used his winning face yet again.
"Fine. Hurry up, Lassiter needs me at the station."
"No he doesn't. I'm sen-" He started to put his hand to his head. Oops. He probably shouldn't have done that.
Knowing he wouldn't leave her car, she turned away without saying anything. There was the hurt all over again.
"Sorry. Jules, I'm so sorry. It's become some sort of a habit."
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. She thought and turned to face him again. She mustered up all the strength she could and let all her feelings out. Starting the whole thing off with a slap to his face.
"No matter what you do, I'm not coming back to you! You hurt me! I can't take it!" Fresh tears falling down her face. She could have sworn she saw tears in his eyes forming.
To her surprise, while clutching his cheek, he opened the car door and left.
She banged her head on the steering wheel a couple of times before straightening up and driving away.
I am over Shawn. She told herself over and over again. If only she could believe it.
What can I do? Shawn thought as he slumped into the office chair at his desk.
"You can start by helping me clear the dishes." Gus stated.
Shawn looked up at Gus who was staring down at him. "I said that out loud?"
"Yes you did. Now hand me that mug." Gus pointed behind Shawn before he reached his hand out for the mug.
Shawn reached behind him, picked up the mug, and gave it to Gus without question. Which was a strange thing for Shawn to do.
"You want to talk about it?" Gus asked, making his way toward the sink picking up more dishes on the way.
"Nah. I need to sort all this out myself. Thanks, though."
"You know, that I saw what happened, right?" Gus said, slipping on his dish washing gloves.
"Dude, you know that's my private time with her. Secret. It's like you when you watch Phineas and Ferb."
"Oh come on, you know that it's you who watches that."
"I can't help it. Candace fails horribly every time, Gus. It's like... me at finding true love."
Gus dropped the spatula he was scrubbing into the sink and turned to Shawn. He waltzed over to Shawn, his gloves dripping soapy water onto the floor, but he didn't care. For now, anyway.
Shawn gave him a strange look as he leaned in close to him. "You did NOT fail, Shawn."
Shawn opened his mouth to say something but was silence when Gus held up his soapy glove hand. "Don't say anything, Shawn. You know darn well that you didn't fail this time. Sure, you lied to her for seven years and didn't tell her. But you did not fail. Now, pull your moping self together and go get her back. She still loves you."
Shawn was taken aback at Gus's statement, "How do you know that?"
But Gus didn't answer, he turned to go back to his dish washing. "Darn it! There's water all over the floor!"
"That's what you get for trying to be serious." Shawn smirked before leaving the Psych office. He had something to tell Juliet whether she wanted to hear it or not.
