"Shawn, these past few months have been really great and I'm having such an amazing time with you…but I think we're maybe going a little fast and we should take a break. Just for a little while so we can step back and see how things are going before we go forward." She sighed and bitterly wondered if she hit every single cliché in the book.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Hurt was evident in his eyes as he looked at his girlfriend.

"No, no of course not" she reached over to take his hand reassuringly "I just think that if we take a little time off now we'll be more prepared for our future."

Rather than criticizing her for her lame response, Shawn merely shook his head and held up the slips of paper in his hand. "You do realize we still have to go to this conference the Chief is sending us on, right?"

"What?" Juliet shrieked as she snatched the tickets from him and looked at them "When did she set this up?"

"She called me in her office to tell me about it while you were at the crime scene, but don't worry we're not even sitting together on the plane."

Juliet sighed, "Shawn I don't want us to be like this"

"Oh sure, know you're apologetic because you're going to have to spend the next two days with me" he muttered as he stomped off. "Better go home and pack detective our plane leaves at 9 tonight."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Juliet and Shawn had barely spoken 5 words to each other since they arrived at the airport. She had wanted to say so much; even though it had only been a few hours, she already felt like taking a break with Shawn was the biggest mistake she had ever made. For some reason, her vocal cords weren't in conjunction with her brain and she couldn't get the words out, so they sat there in awkward silence until it was time to board the plane. Once they had found their seats, Juliet realized sadly that they were indeed not sitting together.

"Oh my god, Shawn is that you?"

Juliet's head snapped over to locate the voice that had called her boyfriend's name. Her eyes narrowed and her pulse quickened as she recognized his ex-girlfriend Abigail. She clenched her hands into fists when Shawn stood to give the hussy a hug and she nearly jumped out of her seat to attack the woman when she realized Abby was the one in the seat next to Shawn. Her mind raced feverishly as she realized there was no way this was a coincidence: Shawn had planned this somehow and was trying to make her jealous. Closing her eyes, she leaned back and tried to block out the voices of the reunited couple who were only a few rows in front of her.

Shawn resisted the urge to look back at Juliet to see how his plan was working. He knew she wasn't an idiot and figured he had planned this coincidental run in with Abigail but that didn't mean it wouldn't work. The plan had actually been thrown together hurriedly and he was thrilled it seemed to be working out so far. Over the past couple of weeks he noticed Juliet had been getting distant; he knew her feelings for him hadn't changed but she was getting scared and he needed to remind her that she loved him and didn't want to leave him. So after a quick search to see if there were any teacher's conferences that Abigail would certainly be asked to attend, he had lucked out and found a major event that was taking place in Crescent City. The next part took a but more effort; he'd had to hire the kid from across the street who had amazing computer hacking skills but he was able to not only find Abigail's flight but make sure he had the seat next to her. He felt guilty about setting all this up to make Juliet jealous, but she was too important to him to let her slip away because she was a little commitment scared.

"What are you doing here?" Abigail asked excitedly as she settled into her seat.

"Actually Detective O'Hara and I have to follow up on a lead for a case." He turned to point out Juliet when he couldn't resist seeing the look on her face anymore. Abigail turned too and waved to the blond detective who looked none too happy at the moment.

"Umm do you two want to sit together?" Abigail asked nervously as Juliet stared at the duo.

"Nah, its fine. She just gets a little grouchy on plane rides" Shawn pointedly turned back around and sat in his seat, buckling the belt as the flight attendants walked by to make sure everyone was fastened in for take off.

For the next half an hour Abby and Shawn caught up on what had happened since their break up. Nearly everything at least, Shawn neglected to mention the fact that he was currently kind of dating Juliet, but Abigail didn't ask about girlfriends either.

Juliet watched as the pair across the aisle and two rows up chatted and laughed like a couple of nauseating teenagers. She rolled her eyes more than one at Abigail's school-girlish giggle and the way her boyfriend was clearly making up stories to impress her. She tried to control her jealousy but it was eating away at her to the point she could barely stand to listen to them anymore.

"Shawn I know you weren't chased down a tunnel by a boulder, that's from an Indiana Jones movie."

"Well you got me there, but I did wrestle a tiger."

"You're such a liar" Abigail playfully swatted his arm "It's a wonder anyone believes you with all the lies you tell."

Shawn smirked because people only believed him because of the very big lie he told; remembering how many women found his 'psychic' ability attractive, he raised his hands to his temple in his traditional psychic pose. "I sense that you almost believed my story about backpacking through Switzerland."

"Yeah until you told me you now speak fluent Switzerlandish."

"Well how was I supposed to know they don't have their own language, I mean how lame is that." Shawn frowned as he recalled his earlier slip up; it would have been such a cool story if he had left out that one part about the language.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm glad you didn't spend two months in Switzerland, I heard the girls there are really pretty."

"Ah yes, well I did meet one lovely Swiss Miss, but she came in a box and was made of hot chocolate. It didn't work out, I drank her, and I believe Gus had some too." Shawn grinned at his stupid joke and Abigail smiled right along with him.

"So other than the hot chocolate lady, are you seeing anyone?" Abigail tried to make her inquiry sound casual, but the truth was she had been dying to ask that question as soon as she had run into Shawn on the plane. It had seemed like destiny that they had been seated next to each other on the flight and she didn't want to let him go again; she had regretted breaking up with him after the Yin ordeal. At the time, she had been recovering from shock and she hadn't been thinking clearly; but the more she had thought about it, she realized Shawn would always protect her and be there to save her.

"Well my girlfriend and I are kind of on a break" He winced as the words left his mouth; even though he knew Juliet cared for him, the break up had still hurt more that he wanted to admit.

"Well how convenient that you happen to be on a break right now." She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face, "Would you like to go out for dinner or coffee or something when we land?"

Abigail's question was so full of desperation that it made Juliet sick. Add that to the hurt she felt when she heard Shawn voice the words "on a break" and you have one angry, jealous, possessive woman. Juliet unclipped her seat belt and stood up; she walked past Shawn and ran her finger discreetly down his arm before making her way to the middle of the plane where the lavatories were located. Glancing around, she was pleased to find nearly every passenger asleep or engrossed in some activity. She shot a glance over her shoulder to see Shawn eyeing her suspiciously; raising an eyebrow suggestively she disappeared into the restroom.

"Hmm yeah sounds great." Shawn responded quickly as he unfastened his seat belt, "I'll be right back, I just have to um, you know" he pointed towards the restroom and quickly walked off.

Abigail leaned back in contentment; she now had a chance to fix her relationship with Shawn.

Shawn was about to knock on the door Juliet had gone through, but decided that if it was open, the knock was unnecessary. He crossed his fingers and gently pulled the door, to his relief it slid open and he quickly stepped inside.

"Hey" he murmured as he eyed Juliet appreciatively; she looked so pretty in her navy skirt and jacket combo and her blue blouse.

"You having fun out there?" Juliet asked, unable to restrain her jealousy.

He shook his head "She's not as much fun as you, and she's nowhere near as hot." Their confined quarters made taking a step closer impossible so he settled for running a hand up her arm.

She shivered at his gentle touch "So I was thinking…I was a little hasty before in deciding we needed a break. I think that would be a mistake that neither of us wants to make."

"Are you just saying that because you're jealous?" Shawn asked, cocking an eyebrow. He really could care less as long as she really meant it.

She shook her head "No, it's just the first time I can actually vocalize those thoughts. I don't want to lose you because I'm being an idiot Shawn."

"Well in that case" Shawn leaned forward and claimed her mouth in a passionate kiss, despite their appalling surroundings; he wanted her more than ever. Juliet seemed to ignore their location as well as she matched the frenzy of his kiss and wound her fingers though his hair. He slid his hands down her back and then cupped her ass, hoisting her up to sit on the small counter.

She wrapped her legs around his torso and drew him closer, moaning in pleasure as she could feel his erection pressing against her. He smiled against her mouth at her reaction; he reluctantly broke the kiss so he could unzip his pants and unbutton his boxers, releasing his hard cock. Juliet grinned at the sight of the familiar appendage and quickly removed her panties. Not knowing where to put them since clearly the gross counter and even more disgusting floor were out of the question, she shoved them in Shawn's pocket.

His smile grew wider "You know you're not getting those back now" he leaned in and kissed her before she could protest.

In a matter of seconds, he had unbuttoned her jacket and slid his hands up her shirt; he didn't want to take all of it off because he knew they were pressed for time. He moved his mouth to place kisses across her jaw line and then all over her neck as his hands made their way under her bra to massage her breasts.

Juliet moaned his name softly and her tongue flickered into his ear. Her legs tightened their grip around his waist and drew him closer.

The thought of pissing off flight attendants and passengers who really needed to pee excited Shawn, but at the same time he really wanted to finish so he wasn't stuck with a massive erection. Returning his mouth to hers, he gave her a soft, sweet kiss as he positioned himself at her opening and then gently shoved in.

Gasping, Juliet pulled him closer instinctively, and Shawn took that as his cue to start thrusting. He started out slow but each push grew harder and he plunged deeper as he picked up the pace. Juliet tried to brace herself using the walls, and was glad his hands had moved to her hips to help hold her up.

As he slid a hand over to rub her clit, she attacked his throat. Her mouth was all over the stubbly expanse of skin; she sucked below his Adam's apple and then gently grazed her teeth over his pulse point. Keeping her mouth busy was helping her from letting out loud moans, but it certainly wasn't helping him. He groaned and thrust harder as her teeth and mouth took advantage of his throat.

His other hand moved to travel back up to her breasts, leaving Juliet mostly unsupported; she tightened her legs and wrapped her arms desperately around his neck to keep herself from falling to the floor. Shawn was delighted by the reaction and turned to slam her up against the small patch of wall in the bathroom since the sink was now unnecessary. He claimed her mouth in a passion filled kiss as his one hand continued to massage her clit and the other roamed over one breast at a time, cupping it and then flicking a finger over the hard nipple.

Juliet could do nothing but cling to Shawn for dear life as he continued to plunge in and out of her. They continued the frenzied kiss as the connection between their mouths served to stifle their moans and gasps. She knew she was close to release and from the way his thrusts became more urgent, she could tell he was almost there too.

He brought her to climax first after a particularly deep shove, and he kept moving in and out as her walls contracted around him and she shivered in blissful pleasure. Her orgasm had caused her to moan loudly into his mouth and he hoped that some nearby passenger had been awoken by it. Within a few seconds of her release; he exploded within her and couldn't help but release a guttural groan as he shoved in a few more times to extend his climax.

When they were both completely drained; they collapsed and Shawn moved her back to sit on the counter since he was too devoid of energy to support her anymore. He stayed inside her though, because he couldn't bear to lose the feeling of how good she felt around him. After he managed to steady his heart rate, he tilted his head to give her a long kiss. He was about to pull out and get them both situated before they returned to their seats when a loud knock interrupted them.

"Shawn?" Abigail's voice called in.

The couple froze and looked at each other. "I'll be out in a minute!" Shawn called out to her as his heart started beating at an alarming rate again.

"If you have a certain…situation to take care of, I can be of assistance" Abigail called in quietly.

Shawn watched as Juliet's eyes narrowed. She was beyond pissed that this slut would insinuate that her boyfriend had gotten an erection from her; and to think that she would be the one to remedy the situation. The white hot jealousy blinded Juliet from thinking though her actions and she quickly reached past Shawn to push the door open. "He said he'll be out in a minute" Juliet snapped as she closed the door again. With a satisfied smirk, she leaned back against the mirror. "What?" She questioned innocently as Shawn stared at her.

"You realize I have to go sit next to her now." Shawn said slowly making sure Juliet realized what an uncomfortable situation she had put him in.

"Are you mad at me?" She widened her eyes and stuck out her lower lip in an adorable pout.

"I don't think I know how to be" Shawn replied as he pulled her in for another kiss. After they broke apart for air, he realized they did need to leave and finally pulled out of her and re-buttoned his boxers and jeans before helping her down to fix her skirt and blouse.

"Shawn can I have my panties back?" She reached for his pocket, but was stopped by a restraining hand on her wrist.

"Nope, I warned you that I was keeping them."

"I didn't think you were serious."

"I'm always serious" Shawn grinned at the blatant lie "and you are so not getting them back." With that he opened the door and walked back to his seat. He noticed that Abby wasn't there; he looked around and saw that she had relocated to Juliet's seat. She was avoiding his gaze and trying to appear to be absorbed in whatever book she was reading. He smiled at her act of kindness and sat down; making a mental note to send her a giant muffin basket to apologize as soon as he got home. When Juliet emerged from the bathroom, she quickly made the same observation Shawn did and smiled gratefully at the woman who was doing her best to ignore them. Juliet waited patiently by Shawn for him to get up and let her in to her new seat.

"Oh I'm sorry, the captain turned on the 'fasten your seatbelt sign' looks like you're just going to have to climb over to get to your seat."

"First of all, we're not on a ship so we don't have a captain, we have a pilot and second, I'm not climbing over you."

"Well then I guess you're just sitting in the aisle then." Shawn gave her a devilish smirk.

Juliet sighed and started to squeeze past him 'accidentally' elbowing him in the ribs as his hands cupped her ass. "Oops, sorry" she gave him her own wicked smirk as she settled into her seat and he wheezed for air.

"You're forgiven" he managed to choke out as air made its way back into his lungs. Wrapping an arm around her he pulled her close and placed a kiss in her hair. She leaned into his arms and grabbed his hand, entwining their fingers.

"Did I ever tell you about the time I backpacked across Switzerland?" After receiving an amused grin from his girlfriend he started off on his long, fabricated story.
