wow, this is actually it. the last chapter. I really enjoyed writing this and hope you had fun reading it.
Disclaimers: Once again I gotta say that I don't own Psych even though I wish I did.
Recap: "This is a mistake, Jules." He breathed out.
Chapter 15
"What?" She looked at him, clearly confused. "Why is this a mistake?"
"I'm not what you want. You said it yourself. You wouldn't want to date me." His eyes were full of bitterness and hurt.
"What are you talking about?"
"That night in the motel. You thought I didn't hear it but I did."
"Didn't hear wh-" Then it dawned on her and she closed her eyes. "Oh my God, please tell me you're not talking about my phone call with Anne." She opened her eyes again, looking directly into his eyes. The hurt and disappointment that she could see in them were enough of an answer.
"No, Shawn, this is just a misunderstanding." She moved closer to him trying to grab his hand but he backed away. "Shawn, please."
"It's… okay, Jules. You made your point pretty clear that night."
"Okay, Shawn, I get it, you're mad but I think you owe me so much as to listen to my explanation, don't you think?"
He nodded slowly. She had listened to him yesterday despite everything that happened and it was only fair to give her a chance to explain it. "Yeah, but can we move this to somewhere else? I'm freezing."
"Well I haven't been in a hot tub for a while." She said and swam over to the steps that led out of the pool to head over to the hot tub. Shawn followed her quickly.
When they were seated in the warm water Juliet took Shawn's hand into hers, intertwining their fingers instantly.
"I'm waiting." Shawn said and looked at her expectantly.
"First of: I was drunk. I couldn't really think straight and what I said actually made sense in my head at the time. Secondly." She sighed. "Anne said that she thought about asking you out and I kind of found myself …uh… being kind of…jealous." She ended in a whisper. "I freaked and tried to think of a way how I could stop her from doing it. Making you look bad seemed pretty logical at that moment and so I did it."
She looked up from their intertwined fingers to his face. He had remained silent and looked curiously at her.
"I didn't mean those things, Shawn. I swear I didn't mean any of it. I think you'd make a great boyfriend and I love working with you. You are probably the funniest person I know and you can always make me laugh. You are pretty much perfect the way you are, at least you are to me." She moved her hand up to cup his face and stroked her thumb softly over his cheek. "If I had the choice I wouldn't change a thing about you. You have to believe that, Shawn." She looked pleadingly at him with a hint of desperation in her eyes.
He nodded slowly and her eyes lit up in relief for a second.
"So you said those things about me because you were jealous?" His typical smile was back on his lips and his tone was teasing.
She blushed and looked down. "Yeah." She mumbled.
"Wow, okay and you didn't want me to be different?"
"Never." She whispered finally looking up again to meet his eyes.
"Wow… just wow. I can't believe this. How about you use that spare slap you have from last night? My stupidity and I sure as hell deserve it."
"Uh… what?" She was dumbfounded by his reaction.
"Remember when you said that I seemed like I changed and I denied it? Well I did change. I was really hurt and pissed because of what you said and wanted to prove that you wouldn't like me if I changed." He sighed. "How could I be so stupid?"
"That's why you suddenly changed?" She looked shocked when he nodded his head slightly.
Then she did the only thing she could think of in that moment. She threw herself into his arms and crashed her lips onto his.
He was startled by her sudden move but recovered quickly and kissed her back. She sat down on his lap, her hands gripping his hair, while he had one hand on her cheek and the other one on her waist. Their kiss grew more passionate by the second, only interrupted by small breaks to catch their breaths again. Shawn moaned when she shifted in his lap.
"Jules, we should go back to the guest house." He said breathlessly between kisses.
"We should."
Shawn stood up slowly from his sitting position and Juliet immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. He stepped carefully out of the hot tub and walked or rather stumbled over to the door of the guest house, never breaking contact with Juliet's warm lips. The collapsed on the couch and his hands moved up to untie her bikini top.
Several hours later they were lying in Shawn's bed. Her head was rested on his chest and her arm was wrapped around his abdomen while his hands rested lightly on her back holding her close to him.
"Can I cash in one of those wishes now?" She mumbled into his chest before turning her face to look at him.
"Of course. What is it?" He asked with a content smile tugged on his lips.
"Don't ever change again."
"Never." He whispered back.
"And don't leave me again." Her eyes were pleading.
"I won't do that, Jules."
"What makes you so sure?" She asked.
He hesitated for a second. "Because I love you, Jules, and I don't want to spend another second of my life without you." He said before placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
At first she was shocked to hear his confession but the first wave of shock was overcome quickly and a smile spread across her face.
"I love you, too, Shawn." She said before kissing him passionately again.
This time she was sure that he was telling the truth. This time he wouldn't leave. This time he wouldn't break his promise. This time they both knew that he was exactly what she wanted. And nothing and no one could keep them apart now.
The End
A/N: So I hope you're happy with the way I ended this and who knows... there might be a sequel to this. Let's just say I've got some ideas and if you want to read how the two lovebirds go from this point I'll maybe consider to sit down and write again. Just tell me what you think and/or what you would like to see them do in the future.
Thank you for reading my story and for reviewing. To my reviewers : You all made me smile a lot in the past week! :)
