Beautiful
He's staring at her and it unnerves her. No one has looked at her for so long as such an intensity before and with Shawn's 'psychic powers' she feels even small than she would had it been someone else doing the staring. She hopes he can't read her mind her heart, but has a feeling he knows everything about her already.
She clears her throat and waves a hand in front of his face. "Shawn? Why are you staring at me?" She offers him a puzzled half smile, half frown.
Shawn, without taking his eyes off her, shrugs. "No reason," he says.
Her frown deepens and its as if he's feeding off her discomfort because he smiles.
"Shawn!" she warns.
His smile widens into a full out grin. "Jules."
"If you don't tell me what's so fascinating about me that you keep staring," she tells him, "I won't talk to you for a month." She raises an eyebrow, challenging him.
"C'mon, Jules," Shawn drawls. "We both know you couldn't last more than a week. You'd miss me too much."
She groans in frustration and then sees the pineapple smoothie on his desk. If she can just get to it, she can…
"Don't even think about it!" Shawn says. He grabs the plastic cup and takes a mouthful, nearly emptying it.
She sighs.
"You seem very agitated, Jules," he adds. "You should really learn how to relax. My place, tonight?" He winks at her.
She watches him thoughtfully for a moment before it hits her that she can use this. "If you tell me what you were staring at me for, then sure. I'll come over tonight. I'll even bring dinner."
Shawn rubs at his temples and squints slightly. He removes his fingers and turns to her. "You've got yourself a deal," he agrees. "I was staring at you because you're very beautiful today, Jules."
He smiles and there's not a trace of teasing in his expression.
She wonders if maybe he's covering for something else he was thinking, but dismisses the idea.
Shawn stands before she can think of what to say anyway. "So, Jules. Tonight."
"Yes?"
He grins wickedly and she begins to worry about what the night would bring.
"It's a date."
