Okay, so I got a few reviews asking me to continue the last chapter. I personally like it where it ends, you know, Jules figuring out her feelings and all, but since you asked, I will do my best to give, this chapter won't be very long, but it is the good-night scene when Shawn drops Juliet back off at her place.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drive back to her apartment had been silent, but comfortable silence that could only be achieved between good friends. Juliet smiled to herself as Shawn got out on his side and quickly ran around the car to open her door for her, taking her hand to help her out of the car.
"Thanks." She murmured as he helped her, his touch sending shivers down her spine.
"For what?" he asked her as they walked, hand in hand, back up to her door.
"For tonight, you were great." She replied, a soft pink tingeing her cheeks as they walked up the final three steps.
"Well, you're easy to be married to, I obviously married way out of my league." He teased her and she giggled, her grip on his hand tightening even though they had reached her door.
"You aren't so bad yourself." She admitted, looking away as they stood in front of her door, her back to it, holding hands.
"Goodnight Jules." He leaned in and kissed her cheek gently, knowing that he was pushing his luck since they weren't in public anymore, but being affectionate with Juliet had come so easily to him the entire night that it was difficult to stop treating her like they really were married.
"Goodnight Shawn." She breathed once he had pulled away. And all though the good nights had been said, neither one of them moved, something the both of them noticed.
"Shawn?" she asked once they both realized that something more had to be said.
"Yeah Jules?" he answered, his voice barely above a whisper as she tugged on his hand, making him take a step closer to her.
"I like being married to you." She admitted, their eyes locking and he smiled down at her.
"I like being married to you."
They both smiled a bit awkwardly, Shawn shuffled his feet and Juliet cleared her throat, but their hands stayed intertwined.
"Can I kiss you?" Shawn asked out of the blue and he seemed just as surprised by his request as Juliet was.
"Well, we are married." She replied with a small nod and he gave a small laugh before leaning in towards her.
"So technically, it'd be rude not to kiss you, you might make me sleep on the couch." He teased her and she gave him a sincere smile.
"Shawn, if you were staying the night at my place, you would never be on the couch." She wasn't so sure if saying that out loud was a stupid mistake or a brilliant epiphany, but when Shawn's lips claimed hers she knew that even if it was a stupid mistake, it was the best one she'd ever made, and one that she had a feeling she'd be repeating.
Their lips stayed locked for a good two minutes, Shawn's arms wrapping around her, pulling her close, Juliet's arms locking around his neck, her feet elevating up onto her tip-toes to give her a better leverage.
They finally broke apart, smiles on their faces and their breathing a bit heavy.
"So, can I come in and not stay on the couch?" he asked her with an ornery glint in his eye and she giggled.
"Maybe tomorrow night Shawn, we'll have to see how our date goes, if you're free, that is." She replied and Shawn had never felt so much like dancing a victory dance in his entire life.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." He nodded, agreeing with her quickly before she had the chance to change her mind.
"Goodnight Shawn." She winked before slipping into her apartment. Shawn stood in the hallway for a moment or two before running down the stairs towards the Echo that he had to return to Gus.
Juliet laughed when she looked out her window to see Shawn standing by the car, dancing around like a kid on a sugar high. She knew that him being her husband was a good idea.
