Hey guys, I forgot a chapter of A Shules Engagement. It's where Allison meets Juliet and Shawn.
Saturday Afternoon
Shawn stood in his closet trying to figure out what to where to dinner tonight.
Juliet came around the corner, "Need some help?"
"Yeah, where are we meeting Allison again?" Shawn asked.
"That steakhouse on 17th."
"Dress code?"
Juliet went into Shawn's closet and picked out his dark washed jeans and a red button down shirt and handed it to him.
"Do I need to tuck in the shirt?" Shawn asked.
"I would like you to." Juliet said.
"Thanks baby. You almost ready?"
"I just have to dry my hair, then we are out of here."
Shawn nodded.
Shawn left his closet and went into the bedroom itself and started to get dressed. He was about to put his shoes on when Juliet brought him a nice pair of shoes.
"No sneakers?" Shawn asked.
"No sneakers. It doesn't go with the outfit." Juliet said.
"Where'd you get these?"
"Ralph Lauren. These are nice, don't ruin them on the first day."
"Why'd you buy these?"
"You need something other than sandals and sneakers."
Shawn nodded and put on the shoes. He went to his dresser and grabbed his black belt and put it on.
Shawn got finished and went into the bathroom to fix his hair and put on cologne.
"Hurry up sweetness." Shawn said.
"15 minutes." Juliet said.
Shawn nodded and kissed Juliet on the cheek.
Shawn left the bedroom and went into the living room and sat down on the couch waiting for Juliet.
Shawn's phone rang.
"Hello?" Shawn asked.
"Hey dude." Gus said.
"Hey buddy. What's up?"
"What are you and Juliet doing tonight?"
"We are about to leave to go meet the wedding planner."
"Ew."
Juliet came down the hall in a red dress that complemented Shawn's shirt. She walked into the living room and saw Shawn on the phone.
"I'm kinda excited." Shawn said.
"You're excited about meeting a wedding planner?" Gus asked.
"Gus, this is my wedding we're talking about. I want this to go perfect for Jules. If it was up to me, we'd be married the Monday after we got engaged."
"Ok ok ok. Go enjoy tonight. How's next Friday we do something?"
Juliet grabbed her keys and went into Shawn's eye line and shook her keys.
Shawn smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. Look Gus, I got to go, Juliet just shook her keys at me."
"Dude, you're whipped."
"I am not whipped. I'll see you later."
Shawn hung up the phone and looked Juliet up and down.
"You look beautiful." Shawn complimented.
"You look handsome. Are you ready to go?" Juliet asked.
Shawn got off the couch and grabbed his wallet and his keys.
Juliet took Shawn's hand and they exited their apartment. Shawn broke the bond for two seconds to lock up.
Juliet grabbed Shawn's hand and they walked to Juliet's car.
They got to Juliet's car and got in and headed to the restaurant.
Juliet pulled into the parking lot and parked.
Shawn got out and ran to Juliet's door and opened it.
Before Juliet could even take her seatbelt off, Shawn opened her door.
Juliet took Shawn's hand and they walked into the restaurant.
"Good evening, how many?" the hostess asked.
"We are here to meet Allison and Harry." Juliet said.
"Of course, follow me."
The hostess guided Shawn and Juliet to the table where Allison and Harry were sitting.
"Here you two go. What would you two like to drink?" the hostess asked.
"I'll have a water." Shawn said.
"I'll have a glass of chardonnay." Juliet said.
Allison stood up and greeted the couple.
"Juliet, how are you?" Allison asked.
"I'm great. How are you?" Juliet asked.
"Pretty good. This is Harry."
Harry shook Juliet's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Harry." Juliet said.
Allison saw Shawn shuffling his feet.
"You must be Shawn." Allison said.
Shawn looked up and smiled, "That's me. How are you?"
"Good. How are you?"
"Great."
"Harry, this is Shawn, Juliet's fiancé." Allison said.
Shawn took a step and shook Harry's hand, "Nice to meet you."
"You too. You look familiar." Harry said.
"Oh yeah?"
"Where did you go to high school?"
"Santa Barbra High."
"Shawn Spencer, best friends with Burton Guster?"
"Yeah that's me. How do you know me?"
"I kinda dated Abigail Lytar."
Juliet sat down next to Shawn and put her hand on his thigh.
"Oh really?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah. Weren't you two a thing?" Harry asked.
"We were, not in high school."
"When were you together?"
"About 6 years ago."
Allison saw Juliet's comfort level change when Abigail was mentioned.
"So Juliet, how is everyone?" Allison asked.
Juliet turned her attention away from Shawn and Harry's conversation, "Good. My mom came for a visit a few months ago. How are you liking Santa Barbra?"
"It's gorgeous. I'm used to the beach setting, which makes it feel like home."
"That it does. How'd you meet Harry?"
"Mutual friends. A friend of mine from college is his cousin, so we met up for drinks."
"Nice. He seems like a good guy."
"He is. What about Shawn? How did you two meet?"
"We met in the little diner on the boardwalk."
"That's cute. How long have you been together?"
"4 years."
"So you two stayed friends while he was with…"
"Yeah. I dated a couple of guys which was hard for him."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah."
The waiter came and took everyone's order and brought Juliet and Shawn their drinks.
Shawn turned to Juliet and whispered, "You ok?"
Juliet grabbed Shawn's hand, "Yeah. You?"
"It was a little weird at first, but yeah."
Juliet smiled.
"So I looked at your template and this might be the easiest wedding I've ever done." Allison said.
"Why's that?" Shawn asked.
"You two know what you want."
"Yeah, I've been dreaming about marrying him for 6 years." Juliet added.
"6?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah."
Shawn smiled and kissed Juliet on the cheek.
The waiter brought everyone their food and they visited for another hour.
9:15 PM
Shawn looked at his watch and read 9:15.
"Jules?" Shawn asked.
Juliet looked over at Shawn and saw him rubbing his eyes.
"You tired?" Juliet asked.
Shawn nodded.
"Ok, we'll go."
Juliet turned to Allison, "Thank you for meeting us tonight. I am sure we will see each other weekly after this."
"We can do every other week if it's easier on you." Allison said.
"I'll look at my crazy work schedule and text you."
Allison nodded.
"Harry, it was nice meeting you." Juliet said.
"You too, Juliet. You have a good guy on your hands." Harry said.
"I do, don't I?"
Shawn and Juliet got up from the table and said their goodbyes once more, then headed out to the car.
They got in the car and drove a quiet 15 minutes home.
Juliet parked and looked at Shawn.
"Why are you being so quiet?" Juliet asked.
"I'm just tired." Shawn said.
Juliet decided not to push it and got out and went and unlocked the apartment.
Shawn followed Juliet and shut the door and locked the door. He made his way to the bedroom and fell face first onto the bed.
Juliet heard a thud and went and found Shawn face first in the bed. She went over to him and rolled him over, so he could breathe.
"Spencer what's wrong?" Juliet asked.
Shawn shrugged.
Juliet sat next to Shawn and pulled him up to her eye level.
"Baby what's going on?" Juliet asked.
"I don't know. The night was kind of ruined with Abigail being brought up." Shawn said.
"I did notice that you got quiet toward the end."
"Look, if I knew Harry was going to be there, I wouldn't have gone."
"Why?"
"I don't know. We weren't friends in high school."
"He is 2 years older than you."
"That doesn't matter, Jules. I was friends with people grades above me and below me."
"High school is long gone, babe. He's probably a total different person now."
Shawn fell on his back and sighed. He untucked his shirt and started to unbutton it.
Juliet pushed his hands out of the way and she finished and pushed the shirt off his shoulders.
"Sit up." Juliet said.
Shawn sat up a little bit and Juliet took the shirt off him.
Juliet went back into the bathroom and took off her makeup and wash her face and brush her teeth.
Shawn looked at the ceiling fan spin until he fell asleep.
Juliet came out of the bathroom 20 minutes later and saw Shawn sleeping. She went and took his shoes off and took of his pants and threw the blanket over him so he wouldn't be cold.
Juliet left the bedroom and shut the door and turned out the light. She made her way into the kitchen and fixed her a little dessert. She grabbed a spoon and walked into the living room and watched TV.
An hour later, Shawn got up and went out to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He walked down the hall and saw Juliet on the computer.
"What are you still doing up?" Shawn asked.
Juliet jumped and saw Shawn.
"Couldn't sleep." Juliet answered.
Shawn grabbed his class of water and went and sat down next to Juliet on the couch.
Juliet curled into Shawn and wrapped her arms around him.
"I wish tonight would've gone different." Juliet said.
"What do you mean?" Shawn asked.
"You've been excited about planning this wedding that it felt weird when you didn't participate."
"I'm sorry. This is our wedding and I know you want my input. I'll try better next time."
Juliet looked at Shawn and pulled him in for a kiss.
Shawn pulled away and turned off the TV, put his glass on the coffee table, and grabbed Juliet and ran to the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
