Mimi Lockhart stepped out of the bathroom, a fluffy white towel wrapped around her, and another towel clutched in her hands as she dried her hair. She sighed as she tossed the towel onto her bed. Shuffling through her closet, she again sighed as she realized that she had left her basket of clean clothes sitting in the living room. Crossing the room, she pulled the door open and slipped out. Walking into the living room, Mimi stopped in her tracks when she saw Shawn. He knew that she liked him and she knew that he liked her, but it was still awkward for him to be there while she was standing there in a towel. "Shawn... hey." she said, the awkwardness in her voice.

Shawn looked up from the magazine that he was flipping through. His eyes swept over her quickly, before setting his focus on her face. "Hey Mimi. W... what are you doing?" he asked, trying not to stumble over his words any more than he already was. "I forgot my clothes out here. Yea, they're right there." she said, moving the chair where her clothes were palced in a basket. She'd taken just a few steps before her towel caught on the edge of something, and it fell from around her body. It fell into a pile around her. Oh my god! That did not just happen! No, I'll wake up in a few seconds and none of this will have happened. Mimi thought to herself, the color rising rapidly in her cheeks. Shawn, on the other hand, grinned a bit.

She was more beautiful than her could have thought. His gaze swept over her body once more. They moved with every dip and curve that graced her beautiful body. As Mimi finally realized that it wasn't all just a bad dream, she scooped down and scrambled to cover herself up. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I hope I haven't caused any permanet damage!" she said, quickly. Covering herself with the towel once more, Mimi stared at the ground, not having the guts to look at Shawn. "Don't talk like that, Mimi. You're a beautiful women inside and out." he said, softly. Mimi looked up at Shawn and smiled. "You don't mean that." she mumbled, flushing deeply. "I do. Any man would be lucky to call you his own.To be able to have you, make love to you and to wake up to your beautiful face in the morning. Not only that, but you're a kind, warm and caring person, Mimi. And anyone who doesn't see it is a fool." Shawn said, taking a few steps forwards, towards Mimi.

Mimi's breath caught her in throat as she looked at him. Her feelings for him had never gone away. They'd been with her the whole time, throughout her life. What she had with Rex was real, however. She had loved him more than anything else in this world, but there were her feelings for Shawn, so present in the back of her mind. "Does that go for you too?" she asked, her voice soft, but she gave him a serious expression. Shawn looked at her for a few seconds. Did that go for him too? His mind let him slip into a state of thought, only to be brought out of it a few seconds later. Cocking a grin at her, Shawn took a few more steps forward, closing the gap between the two, but leaving a small bit of space between them. "That goes for me too, Mimi." he said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. In one swift movement, Shawn picked up Mimi and left a soft kiss on her cheek.

Squealing lightly, Mimi found her arms around his neck, holding herself close to him. Feeling his hands on her bare skin sent a shiver down her spine. Shawn moved them both into Mimi's room, after fumbling with the doorknob for a few seconds. Shutting the door behind him, with his foot, Shawn crossed the room and set Mimi down gently on the bed. Her breathing had picked up as he'd carried her to her room, so now Mimi's cheeks were tinged a crimson color. Moving on top of her, Shawn stared down at her. Mimi stared back at him for a few seconds, before reaching up and slowly pulling him down towards her. As soon as their lips meant, all awkwardness left. Her hands entwined themselves in his hair, and her passion for him grew with each passing second. Shawn's hand slid down her side, gently caressing her soft skin. Everything seemed perfect at the moment in time.

Pulling back from her, Shawn cast her a questioning gaze. Simply smilling up at him, Mimi gave him his go ahead. Sitting up a bit, he moved the towel away from her body, tossing it aside. Taking her in slowly, his eyes traced their path down her body, finding her more beautiful as he went. Leaning forward, Shawn kissed his way down her body, almost in an adoring way. He didn't think that it was possible for him to have fallen in so quickly for Mimi, but it seemed as if that's exactly what had happened.
