~Chapter Four~

Juliet pulled gently out of the kiss. As much as she didn't want it to end, she knew something had to be said.

"Sh-Shawn...I-I can't," she stuttered. "I'm still-"

"Say no more, my pineapple princess." He kissed her lightly on the lips once more before speed-walking down the hall back to the rooms.

"Shawn, what are you doing?" the blond whispered harshly. But he made no response. He continued walking through the barrage of overly-expensive bedrooms until he reached his desired destination. He rapped three times on the door with his shoulders squared and his face serious. As soon as the door opened, a woman's hand with many rings on it protruded out and smacked Shawn across the face. The door closed with a SLAM as Juliet rushed up to him.

"Shawn, what the hell?" she could only sputter out as she gaped at him holding his cheek in pain.

"That wasn't your room, was it?" he asked in a strained voice, though he already knew the answer.

"You think? It's that one." She pointed him in the right direction. "But what for?"

Shawn still refused to answer her. He just shook off the smack and walked up to repeat his knocking and squaring.

This time, he was relieved to see Declan Rand open the door.

"Shawn! What a surprise! And you're in your pajamas..."

"Declan, I have something very important to say to you. I'm gonna say it one time and one time only. I'm in love with your girlfriend. I've been in love with your girlfriend for five long years. Of course, she hasn't been your girlfriend for that long, but you get the point."

All Declan could do was stare at Shawn in a gob smacked manner. Juliet would have, also, if she hadn't been pulled into an intentionally passionate kiss. She couldn't help but to reach up and tangle her fingers in his hair as he wrapped his hands protectively around her waist. As they broke off, Shawn continued his speech.

"And you know what else, Dec? This wasn't our first kiss. It was in your foyer when you were buying your precious little Italian hotel.

"Shawn, what's gotten into you?" Juliet whispered so that only he could hear.

"Quiet, I'm on a roll," he whispered back. He raised his voice back to its previous volume. "And for your information, her name isn't Juliet. It's Jules." He stepped just inside the doorway, inches from Declan's face.

"Now keep your slimy tentacles off of my Jules."

The End

(A/N: … 0_o I don't know what came over me when I wrote this. It's very...IDK. But I think this is the most in-character Shawn I've ever written. Now, this is finally done, and you Shules-monkeys can get off my back. Just kidding, I'm a Shules-monkey too. And I kept my promise! This chapter is approximately one hundred words longer than the last one! ^^ Reviews make me all fuzzy. BAI!)
