A/N: My very first one of this series!!! Ok so how this works, is each chapter is based on a different song. None of them should be connected to each other, just so you know. Also most of them are based on country songs. The songs I base the fics on will have a link on my profile of the page I recommend you to listen it at. I hope you enjoy :)
What's up: Based on the song "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" by Sammy Kershaw. It starts on Claire's 18th birthday. They still live at the Glass House.
Disclaimer: I do not own Morganville Vampires or the lyrics to "She Don't Know She's Beautiful" Lyrics were found from
"She Don't Know She's Beautiful"
Shane walked through the door, Claire on his arm. Tonight they were celebrating Claire's 18th birthday at Common Grounds, and a lot of people were there. As soon as they entered the tiny coffee shop, everyone stopped talking. They were all staring at Claire.
Her cheeks flushed a bright red, which fit nicely with her silky midnight-blue dress. Her hair was up, with a few strands coming down on the side of her face. "Why is everyone staring?" she whispered to Shane nervously.
"Because you're beautiful," he whispered back. She gave him a look that clearly said that she didn't believe him. Eve came bounding up and gave Claire a hug and began talking rapidly to her. Shane couldn't help thinking how she would never believe him no matter how many times he told her. And he had already said it a countless number of times.
~Sometime the following week~
Shane was watching out the windows of Common Grounds, waiting for Claire to come and meet him. They were going to spend the night together on a date and she was going to meet him at Common Grounds after her classes were done. It was a hot day, and the door was propped open to let in a breeze.
After a few minutes he saw her walking down the street at a brisk pace. She was wearing denim shorts and a purple tank top and flip-flops.
A group of four or five college guys were across the street walking at a slower pace back towards the TPU campus. One of them whistled as Claire walked past them. She looked up, saw them, and got an annoyed and puzzled look, and continued walking.
A minute later, she walked into the coffee shop, spotted Shane, and went to stand next to the table he was seated at. "Did you see that out there?" she asked him, jerking her head towards the college guys.
"Yep," he replied. "But I won't do anything to them because I would have done the same thing if you went walking by looking like that." He stood up and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Claire's brow furrowed, giving her another puzzled look. She didn't ask, but Shane knew what she was thinking. She couldn't tell what the fuss was all about. Shane shook his head, knowing that she would never know just how beautiful she was.
~The next morning~
Birds were chirping. It was the morning after another wild night. They were in Shane's room, and Claire's back was to Shane's chest. Shane woke up, inhaling deeply, and rubbed his hand along her back. She moaned, waking up. She turned over onto her back, looking at Shane.
"Good morning," she said, kissing him on the lips and smiling.
"Good morning," he responded, and gave her another longer kiss that made them both want more.
Claire pulled away first. "I gotta go get cleaned up for the day," she said.
"Why?" he asked her, not seeing what she needed to fix.
"My hair's probably a mess. I can't stand looking at myself in the mirror with a haystack for a head." She rolled out of bed, grabbing her shirt off the floor.
Shane couldn't see it. She was absolutely stunning and she said she was ugly. He couldn't even take his eyes off her.
~Later that day~
Shane was at his computer listening to music on youtube. "Claire, come here for a second," he called.
"What?" she said, coming out of the kitchen.
"You need to listen to this song," he turned on the music, Claire waiting patiently.
As the music started she snorted, "Since when do you listen to country?"
Shane shook his head. "Just listen," and then they were both silent as the lyrics started.
We go out to a party somewhere
The moment we walk in the door
People stop and everybody stares
She don't know what they're staring for
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
There she goes just walking down the street
And someone lets a whistle out
A girl like her she just can't see
What the fuss is all about
And she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Morning comes and her hair's all a mess
That's when she thinks she looks her worst
It's times like this she don't know why
I can't take my eyes off her'
Cause she don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind
)She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her
She don't know she's beautiful (never crossed her mind)
She don't know she's beautiful (no she's not that kind)
She don't know she's beautiful
Though time and time I've told her so
Claire smiled as the song ended. "That was a nice song. You know, that really annoys me when beautiful girls don't think they're pretty." And then she walked away.
Claire was just never going to learn, Shane thought.
