Shawn's pov;
' she's so cute when she's asleep'. I smiled.
She looked uncomfortable sleeping like that so I moved her a little and placed her head on my thighs. She seemed more comfortable like that so I just let her be. She was sleeping so peacefully you wouldn't know that that pretty eyes of hers has seen a lot.
' I need to let her know what kind of person her Alex is. But she probably won't believe me if I told her up straight. What should I do then'. I sighed.
' that bastard, he's taking advantage of her. Although, I have no idea why he's with her, I'm sure it's not anything good'.
" Who are you,why are you holding my mummy?". I looked towards the bed.
Nelson is awake,he was sitting up on the bed. I'm pretty surprised he's not scared, rather, he's trying to hide his fright.
' Wants to be strong for his mummy,huh'. I smirked.
" Well, I'm your mummy's friend. Could you lower your voice a bit, your mummy is tired and is finally sleeping, you don't want to wake her up?". I smiled at him.
He beckoned to me with his hands, I carefully moved Xandra and replaced my laps with a throw pillow.
He stood up and went outside the room waiting for me to do the same.
" My mum never mentioned you. I've never seen you with her either". He said as soon as I closed the door.
" True, that's because it's not been long since we met". I grinned.
" You look familiar by the way". He said with his signature poker face.
' what should I believe now, you just said you've never seen me with her. Could he have seen me somewhere else?'.
" Really". I replied instead.
" Un, you have the same cocky smile like my father used to have before he met my mummy".
I laughed out loud at that," I do, really?".
" Yes, I find both of you really annoying".
I smiled.
Lexi's pov;
When I woke up, I couldn't find either Nelson or Shawn. I almost panicked then I heard sound of laughter from outside the room, it sounded familiar.
I opened the door and saw them standing so close to each and bantering with each,they look so warm together. If I didn't know better, I would say Shawn is his father.
Honestly,my heart felt warm when I saw them together like that, something I scolded myself for later,how could I even think like that?
" What are you guys talking about?".
" Oh, you are awake". Shawn said. There were traces of smile on his face.
" Un,do you feel better?". I said to Nelson.
He ran to hug me.
" Yes mummy. He said he's your friend but I don't think I've seen him before,the only thing I find familiar about him is his smile. Mummy, don't you think they resembles father's?".
My heart skipped a beat,' even Nelson thinks that'. I sighed.
" Un, but he's not your father, right. They just happened to have the same smile". They sound doubtful, even to my own ears.
" Your mummy is right, I'm just Shawn. Unless you want me to marry your mummy and become your father".
Nelson glared at him, I also gave him a scolding gaze.
Although,at that moment, I actually wondered what it would be like to marry him. ' what's wrong with me this days, could I be going nuts?'.
" Nelson, you should say thank you to this uncle, he saved you and I". He gave him another glare.
" Thank you". He said insincerely, probably because he holds a grudge about what he said earlier.
" At least pretend to be sincere. Apologize again". I said sternly.
"Thank you, Uncle... Shawn". He gave a bow.
" Now that's better. He won't accuse us of having no curtsey". I ruffled his hair.
" You are not being sincere either, Xandra".
" Well, I really appreciate your help. I owe you one".
" I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, since you are awake and he's fine, I should take my leave".
" Un". I said hesitantly.
" Bye,bye Nelson". He patted his hair and surprisingly,he didn't show any sign that he detest the touch.
" Don't come to our house again". He said instead of the the loathing I was expecting just like he always do when touched by strangers, especially unpermitted.
" I'm afraid I can't promise".
Nelson harrumphed in response.
" I'll see him off,do you think you'll be fine by yourself for a few minutes, I'll be right outside the door". I ruffled his hair.
" Mummy I'm fine, I'm a big boy". He gave me his biggest heartwarming smile.
" That's my boy. Don't worry, I'll be right outside".
" Alright mummy".
I saw him off outside the door.
" Thank you so much. I don't dare to think about what would have happened if we had found him even a moment later. Thank you so much". I gave a bow.
" You don't have to be so polite with me Xandra. Afterall, you said we are friends right, I'd like you to be very free with me. Moreover, you owe me one, I'll think about what I want,ok?". He gave that his signature smirk again.
" Alright, bye bye". I waved.
" When can I see you again?". He asked.
" Don't know, I'll go back now, Nelson must still be frightened...". I was still talking when he suddenly hugged me. My heart skipped a beat.
My heart has been on a rollercoaster this days, skipping every now and then, I'm afraid I'll have a attack.
" What, what are you doing?". I attempted to push him away but he just hugged me tighter.
" This much is permitted among friends I suppose?". He said beside my ear,an action that got me blushing.
I pushed him even harder and he finally let go.
" I-i-i suppose so". I stammered. He grinned. ' jerk'.
" I'll take my leave now. Please stay safe, you can't die before repaying all the favor I did you". He smirked and left just like that.
I scoffed. " Who wants to die".
