Chapter 10
After a night of actual sleep, Shawn felt better, in fact he felt downright awesome. He loved having a night of nightmare free sleep, where he could just sleep, and the only dream he did have was of Jules. Now if only he could make that dream a reality, but how? He woke up still picturing it in his head. He was at the station, he ran into her and she smiled, that sweet smile, he told her he needed to tell her something, something important. Shawn looked nervous as they walked to an unoccupied office to talk more privately.
"What is it Shawn? What's wrong?" Jules asked
"Jules, I need to tell you something, something I've been dying to say to you since that night at the drive in, hell, since I first saw you."
Jules looked nervous
"What is it Shawn? You can tell me"
He looked into her eyes, took a breath and said it
"Jules, I...I can't imagine life without you, I can't imagine walking into a room and not seeing your beautiful face, or seeing your sweet smile. Jules, When I thought I was going to die, your face is the first thing that entered my mind, my last thought before I was kidnapped was that...I was going to die without ever telling you how I truly felt...It's not easy for me to say stuff like this Jules and I know you probably hate me for even bringing it up but...when I told you I loved you on the phone that day...It wasn't meant for Abigail...Jules, it was meant for you because...I love you"
"Shawn, I...I don't know what to say" her eyes teared up as she looked at him
"I...I love you too, I have tried to hide it, I've tried to keep our relationship purely platonic but when you were with Abigail...it hurt so much to see you together, I know you were happy and I should have been happy for you but I just felt so...jealous, I am so sorry, I know you loved her but I hated the fact that she was with you and I wasn't. I love you Shawn, I love you so much!"
They kissed, she kissed him and her kisses were sweet and gentle, just like he imagined they'd be, he woke up from the dream with a smile on his face.
"Today is the day I HAVE to tell her."
He got up, got dressed, ate his breakfast and made up his mind, This was the day he had been waiting for, for four years. End of Chapter 10
