love like whoa

[shayne veronica brennan]

Shayne had been busy with work all afternoon, so the only thing that the girl wanted to do was go see a certain man who had worked his way into her heart. James Hale had become part of her routine, and she had often times been spending the night over at his house. She knew that things had been tense for him and Britt since the blonde had found out about Kade returning to Arietta. Shayne half expected to see the blonde man in the hospital one of these days. Thankfully it had yet to happen, but after the afternoon she had had, all she wanted was to go home and take a long hot bubble bath. The brunette headed back to the locker room that held her purse and the miscellaneous stuff that she had brought that morning to work. She had gotten there at five in the morning, and had not remembered to grab clothes to put in her car. It was a rare freak of nature that Shayne did not have clothes to change into. She hated wearing her scrubs anywhere but at work, but it had been something that Jem had noticed. He had noticed her ponytail too, but she always teased him about it. She was standing in front of her locker whenever she heard her phone begin ringing, and low and behold it was the man she had been thinking about all day.

Apparently he was bored without her, and that always managed to make her smile. Somehow he had wormed his way into her heart and actually made her thankful that shit had hit the fan with Kaler. The awkward part of this all was that Jem and Kaler were friends, and that baffled the girl to no end. She had no understanding of how her sweet kind, good-natured boy was friends with a Kaler, a man who had nearly choked her to death after she caught him cheating. Whether or not he had actually been cheating was another story completely, but that it had been with Vidette is what had gotten her. But apparently the two girls had similar taste in men, because Viddy had dated Jem before Shayne. It did not matter, because she knew that it was not Viddy on Jem’s mind that afternoon. It had been this little nurse wearing her green scrubs and ponytail.

She had answered her phone and was glad taht he had not forgotten totally about her birthday. Whatever reason they were not able to celebrate was beyond her, and she did not care. What she cared about was the fact that he wanted to make it up to her. So her plans for the evening had changed; instead, she was getting in her lime green Honda Element heading down the familiar streets of Arietta to Jem’s home. Apparently the boy never knew how to do his laundry without her, which meant she had no idea if she had clothes there or not. Thankfully, he had said it was quite alright to bring some clothes down with her next time she came from her house. Shayne adored him, and it was just easy. The two of them had never had issues, except that their work schedules were often times totally opposite of each other. Trying to fit in time for a relationship was often difficult, but she wanted it. The nice thing was that they still managed to see each other in between their busy schedule. She had pulled into the driveway after a few minutes, and finally felt at home. Even in her own little apartment, it was not fun. She did not have much in it, because most of her money was spent on schooling. She was finishing up her senior year, and would graduate in the spring. She basically worked at hospital anyways.

She grabbed her coat off the passenger seat and headed up the walk way to the boy’s home. She was happy to going somewhere other than her lonely apartment, and she was even more excited to try and figure out what this ridiculous surprise was that Jem had been taunting her with over the phone. Ever since she had nearly died, well it was hard on her. She hated to be surprised and she just hated little things. So when she knocked on the door, she knew that he would be there waiting to let her in. Shayne figured she could get the laundry started and then find out about his surprise. That way she could find out if she had any clothes or not still at the house. Part of her sincerely doubted it, but it was not a bad thing to be stuck at home with Jem to celebrate her birthday. She quickly jumped into the house as soon as the door opened, and basically jumped into his arms. Shayne was freezing, even though she had not been outside that long at all. She looked up at him from her comfy little position against his chest. This was exactly where she wanted to be. “I could be in a bubble bath right now, but instead I decided to come and see you. So this surprise you speak of had better be worth me missing a bubble bath and doing your laundry. Do you think you can accept the challenge?”

[/color] She smiled brightly at him and reached up to pull the ponytail out of her hair, and then slipped out of her coat as she broke their hug.

by the time we say goodnight i'll know if this is right ,

Jem shut his phone as he made his way to the front door to meet Shayne. He had to say, having her come over tonight was going to be truly amazing, but then it always was when she was around. Jem couldn’t believe how lucky he was to have found someone like her. She was absolutely wonderful and Jem found himself smiling a whole lot more when she was around. With her, everything was just, well, easy. And easy wasn’t a bad thing at all. Not always having to put effort into planning everything of struggling to find conversation was actually really nice. He loved that he could just sit with her and talk about nothing in particular. That didn’t mean that Jem didn’t put effort into things. He went out of his way sometimes to make things special for her, and tonight would definitely be one of those nights. Because tonight was going to be her birthday celebration. Yes, it was coming a bit late, but Jem would more than make up for that. He was very good at this kind of thing, and when it came to his girl he would spare nothing. She would be very pleased, he was certain, and he would change her opinion if it was the last thing he did. Jem was very determined.

Jem was right at the door when Shayne came up, however she surprised him when she jumped into his arms. He couldn’t help but laugh when she did it, though. “I could be in a bubble bath right now, but instead I decided to come and see you. So this surprise you speak of had better be worth me missing a bubble bath and doing your laundry. Do you think you can accept the challenge?” He grinned. “Why yes, I do.” He let her go as she let down her hair and slipped out of her coat. He grinned, then pulled her back into his arms and planted a sweet kiss on her lips before he finally released her and let her go. He stood in the way of the kitchen, blocking her view of it as that was where his magic was going to happen and he was determined that she was not going to enter there until his surprise was ready. “Now, missy, you get your pretty little butt into that laundry room and stay there or you will be getting no surprise.” He crossed his arms over his chest to accent that he was serious. “And maybe if you’re really good you’ll still get that bubble bath.” He grinned at the thought, his mind already forming another thought. This surprise was going to be amazing, and she was going to like it. He expected complaints, though. He was basically setting her to work doing his chores and banning her from the kitchen, and did not expect great results. “Well go on,” he said, pointing in the direction of the laundry room where his close were all piled and ready to go into the wash. It was an excellent way to distract her, and he was quite glad that she had offered to take the task. It gave him a chance to work on everything without her hovering and finding out what he was up to before he was ready to show her.

Once she was off in the laundry room, Jem was back in the kitchen, pulling items out of cabinets and setting them on the counter next to the stove where he got to work on the food. As he worked, Jem was constantly staring over his shoulder, making sure Shayne wasn’t sneaking a peak before he wanted her to. He was smart and used pots that she wouldn’t be able to see what he was fixing unless she came and stood right next to the stove. She wouldn’t be able to do so, though, because Jem wouldn’t let her. He set the table for them in the dining room type area beside the kitchen, it looking absolutely fantastic if he didn’t say so himself. He saw Shayne emerge from the laundry room as he was making his way back to the kitchen to finish up with the food. “Did you find any clothes?” he asked, fairly certain that there wouldn’t be any but also knowing that there was a chance she had. Anything was possible considering how many clothes had been piled in that laundry room. “Well, take a seat and the first part of your surprise will be ready soon.” He grinned, then stepped into the kitchen, finishing up and dividing the spaghetti and meatballs between the two plates he had pulled down from the topmost cabinet where he kept the dishes. He threw the pot into the sink, grabbed the plates, and headed back out to Shayne, placing her plate in front of her, leaning down to give her a kiss on the cheek as he did so. “Happy Late Birthday, Beautiful.” He smiled down at her, then went to his own seat beside of her, setting his plate down. “Now, my spaghetti is amazing, and do enjoy because there is much more to come.” He grinned over at her, thrilled with thoughts of how much she was going to enjoy this, even if they did end up just staying at his house all night. As long as he was with Shayne, it would be an absolutely amazing night.

[shayne veronica brennan]

Shayne’s birthday had come and gone like it was no big thing, and this year it really was not. She had a job that she adored, a best friend that bribed with tequila, and a boyfriend who was absolutely amazing. It was a good possibility that she was falling for him, and above all else that scared the shit out of her. She had never fallen in love with someone, not even her high school sweetheart. After being with James Hale for even this short amount of time she knew that things were different. She may not be able to place how different they were right away, but they were. She did not struggle to say one syllable to him, and they could sit at home and watch movies if they wanted too. Jem could see Shayne running around in her sweats and not give a damn; or see her in bloody scrubs like she was in that evening whenever she arrived at his house. She was all smiles whenever she felt his arms wrap around hers when she jumped into his arms. It was the only safe place in this girl’s world that existed. Shayne never had to worry that she was going to get hurt again whenever she was around Jem. She even thought it was adorable that he was trying to break her of the fact that she hated surprises. Everything about a surprise terrified her, and it all had a lot to do with his best friend Kaler Scott. She was thankful that Jem understood her true distaste and utter hatred for him, and above all that he did not try and change it.

With her hair out of her ponytail and her coat off of her petite body, she felt much more comfortable. She also adored teasing Jem about her coming over, because the best part after a long day was taking a nice, long, and relaxing bubble bath. Unfortunately for this girl, she was not going to be getting on. Instead she would be slaving away at her second job...Jem’s laundry. It was ridiculous how much laundry he had, and she was completely stunned that he had yet to do it. But before Shayne could become slave girl , she was pulled in closely to his body and soon felt a soft kiss against her lips. She could say one thing about Jem, and that was he knew how to please her. Every second of every day he knew. She had no idea how he knew but he did, and as soon as their lips parted her boyfriend was standing in front of the kitchen blocking her view. In that exact moment she knew he was up to something, but that was going to be a surprise apparently. She looked up at him as he ordered her to head into the laundry room, and she looked up at him with extremely sad eyes. “But what if my pretty little butt doesn’t want to do the laundry? You already told me I don’t have any clothes here, so why should I do your laundry? What’s in it for me, mister?”

[/color] She teased him easily, but she knew that she would find herself in the laundry room. She had already promised to be his little slave girl in that aspect. She watched him as he crossed his arms at her, and she knew he was not joking. Apparently her banishment was coming more quickly than she thought.

But as she was getting ready to head to the laundry room, his voice made a smile spread across her lips instead of her frown. “And maybe if you are really good, you’ll still get that bubble bath.”[/color] Now Shayne knew that this was not going to be her typical bubble bath after work, no not if Jem was anywhere around her. She knew that a bubble bath was more than likely not in his original plans, but she was in no way complaining about it. She adored her after work bubble bath, and if it happened to include a certain boy well it would only make it even better. She adored him, and as he basically pushed her into the laundry room she was still wearing a grin on her face. He knew how to push her buttons to make her do something, but seeing what was in his laundry room was not what the honorary birthday girl had wanted to see. Although, he had arranged neatly piled clothes for her. That is where this fiasco was going to begin; Shayne started sifting through all the piles of laundry to see if any of her clothes were still in the house, but apparently that was a negative. She laughed when she thought about the question of if her undergarments counted. It still made her chuckle, but she would still play the shocked innocent look if he ever asked about her undergarments again. She could hear clanging of items in the kitchen, and every once in a while she would try and sneak her head out to see what was going on but it was futile. He was going to succeed at this surprise thing, and she was not going to like it one bit.

There was nothing left for her to do in the laundry room at this point, so she slowly emerged. She had a load in both the washer and the dryer, and she was disappointed whenever Jem asked about her clothes. She was just sad that she was either going to be wearing her scrubs all night, or she would be wearing around his clothes. Let’s say that the latter was the better option because she hated her scrubs. She shook her head and started to bite her lip, but was seated quickly at the table that was already set. She sat down and turned slightly to see what he was doing and maybe try and talk to him. “The first part, wait a second....there is more than one part? I hate surprises so stop taunting me.”[/color] But as soon as her words slipped from her lips there was a plate full of spaghetti in front of her. A kiss graced her cheek and she was grinning from ear to ear. He had made her dinner for her birthday, and it had been a long time since someone had done that. Normally it was out to eat, or staying in and drinking with Viddy. Jem had actually taken time to make her dinner, and she was truly thankful for him and his sweetness. “Thank you. No one has made me dinner in a very long time, so this means so much to me. You are the most amazing boyfriend in the entire world, and I would be a mess without you. Thank you sooo much.”[/color] She really was thankful for him, and she reached out her hand to slightly squeeze his. And then she took a bite of the most amazing dinner in the entire world. His spaghetti was phenomenal and she had never expected it, but apparently there was more to come! She was excited now, because his dinner was amazing. “Alright, you say there is more to come after this fabulous meal, how about a hint? Or give me my surprise or something! Shayne has a very full little belly, but she needs something to put on besides her scrubs. They need washed badly.”[/color] she laughed lightly and was ready to move on to phase two.

by the time we say goodnight i'll know if this is right ,

Jem was very pleased with how his surprise for Shayne was turning out. He had put a good bit of thought into it, though when it came to Shayne he hadn’t had to think hard to come up with it. Because Shayne was special to him, and she meant a lot to him. Jem wasn’t new to a serious relationship. He had been in many before Shayne, though he didn’t know if any of them meant as much to him. That was a pretty significant thing to say, but it was definitely how he felt. Shayne was a very special girl, and he cared for her deeply. Jem had to wonder how it was that he hadn’t managed to meet Shayne before he had. She was best friends with his friend and ex-girlfriend Vidette, and she had also been involved with his best friend Kaler. Jem could remember Kaler talking about the incident with Shayne and Viddy, the man feeling shock and disappointment in his best friend for what had happened. It wasn’t until a good while after he had known Shayne that he had been able to make the connection between them. He understood her hatred for his friend, and because of that he never pushed to try to make things better with them. He honestly couldn’t blame her for it. Besides, Jem wasn’t the kind who felt a need to fix everything. That was a trait that belonged to his little sister when she was acting more like herself. No, Jem was perfectly content to leave things as they were and let them work themselves out. He was always prepared to break up a fight between them if it ensued, though. Jem was aware of the likeliness of it happening, too.

“The first part, wait a second....there is more than one part? I hate surprises so stop taunting me.” Jem couldn’t help but grin. He knew she wasn’t a fan of surprises, but he also knew that she would absolutely love his. Because Jem’s surprises were amazing, and Shayne was going to find that out first hand. “Thank you. No one has made me dinner in a very long time, so this means so much to me. You are the most amazing boyfriend in the entire world, and I would be a mess without you. Thank you sooo much.” She reached out and squeezed his hand and Jem couldn’t help but smile. That meant a lot to him coming from her. He watched as she took a bite, noting by her face that she liked it. “Well you just say the word and I’ll fix you dinner anytime.” And Jem was completely sincere when he said that. He would be glad to make her a meal whenever she liked, which had suddenly given him an idea for yet another part of his master birthday plan. They ate their dinner, small and easy conversation filling the space between them, Jem finding himself laughing and smiling a good part of the time. “Alright, you say there is more to come after this fabulous meal, how about a hint? Or give me my surprise or something! Shayne has a very full little belly, but she needs something to put on besides her scrubs. They need washed badly.” Jem laughed, but he was glad to see that she was feeling excited about his birthday surprise for her. It made t so much more fun to do if she was excited.

Jem leaned forward and gave her a kiss before standing from the table. “No hints,” he said firmly, but with a smile. “And I hope you’re not too full,” he said as he walked back into the kitchen. “Stay. I’ll be right back with part two of phase one of my master plan.” He grinned, then walked over to the fridge, withdrawing a single chocolate cupcake with pink strawberry icing that he had also made while Shayne had been in the laundry room. He grabbed a candle from the drawer, lit it with a match, then carried the plate into the dining room where he had left Shayne. He sang happy birthday to her as she brought it over and sat it down in front of her. “Make a wish,” he said as he finished singing. He grinned as she blew out her candle, then rose from his seat again. “Now you sit here and enjoy your birthday cupcake while I go set up phase two. If you want another there are more in the fridge.” He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. “Do not move until I come and get you.” He smiled, then left the dining room and climbed the stairs to his bedroom. He dug around in his drawers for some clothes that Shayne could wear. He honestly thought she was sexiest in her scrubs, but she wanted clothes to change into. However, he was really thinking that she was not going to need them as he planned on having her out of those scrubs very soon.

Her mention of a bubble bath had actually been really great. It had given him a much better idea than the one he’d had before, which was rather lame in comparison. Jem walked to the bathroom, grabbing several items from below the sink before setting to work. Jem filled the bath tub with water, pouring in the bubble bath that he was fairly certain had ended up there curtsy of the beautiful girl downstairs. He knew for sure he hadn’t bought it. It was going to come in handy, though. While that filled up, Jem placed the candles around the bathroom. These were here because of his sister, who had brought them with her once and had never taken them home. He lit the candles, then flipped off the light, loving the look of it. He turned off the water to the tub when it was at the level he wanted it to be. On his way back downstairs, Jem grabbed something else from his bedroom. He returned to the dining room, grinning when he saw Shayne where he had left her. “Alright, Beautiful, you ready?” At her response, he held up the tie he had just grabbed from his room. “I have to blind fold you.” He walked over to her and gently tied the tie around her eyes, waving his hand in front of her to make sure she couldn’t see. Satisfied, he led her towards the stairs.

[shayne veronica brennan]

There were no words to express just how truly she happy she was to be spending her night with James Hale, of all the people to have wormed their way into her life she was most thankful to have him. Never had someone gone so out of their way in order to make sure that she had a very special birthday, and above all she had. She had never been treated like this, not even by her own parents; Shayne’s typical birthday consisted of a dinner at some restaurant that she either didn’t really care for or just did not want to go, and drinking at either her apartment or Vidette’s with a bottle of tequila. It made her chuckle in her own little head about it all, because the irony of their current situation was humorous. Shayne still could not believe that she had not met James Hale before she did, after all he had been her best friend’s ex, and Shayne herself had been involved with his best friend. Though now, the brunette would not be caught dead in the same bar as Jem’s best friend. After the incident that had nearly cost her her life, well she does not go near him. She loathes him entirely, but the main thing she was thankful for was that neither Jem or Viddy pushed her into trying to be around Kaler. One of them would warn her before she had the possibility of running into him. She appreciated that small fact above a lot of the other things. But she needed to push thoughts of Kaler out of her mind. He did not need to pollute her thoughts when she was having such a wonderful birthday celebration with him. Though she knew that if Kaler were to ever see Shayne again, well there would be a fight. Shayne would not put up with any of his shit, and she knew that Jem would always be there to pull her back and stop whatever madness would ensue.

Shayne was still having such a hard time believing that this was the surprise. He had made her a wonderful dinner, and apparently there was a part two for the dinner. She could not believe that he had gone to all this trouble for little old her. Above all else she hated surprises, and the fact that there were quite a few were starting to a nerve her. So far though, she could not really complain about Jem and his surprises. Everything had been so wonderful for her, and it was something she had not expected. When she agreed to come over that evening, she knew that it was going to been spent in the laundry room and on the couch. Shayne figured it would be a movie night and just time spent together, seeing as how they hardly got any of that these days. The winter season was not a great one whenever you were a nurse, an EMT or a doctor because most of your off days are spent in the emergency room. Although, that was where Shayne liked to spend her time. Most days when in the ER, she got to see that wonderful man that had just offered his culinary services to her. “ You know you just set yourself up for a lot of cooking. I get pretty hungry after work, what if I come over here every night after work asking for food? What will you do my darling?”

[/color] She smirked at him, clearly teasing him, but in that same notion she would gladly just stay there with him forever. He made her happier than she had ever imagined in her life, and that was a feeling that she was not used to. She had told Vidette that she was fairly certain that she was falling in love with the man who was surprising her. Every day Shayne could feel herself falling more in love with him, but she was not certain if she wanted to tell him that yet or not.

After her dinner was over, she just wanted to get out of her scrubs, even though she knew how much he adored her in her scrubs and ponytail. She had let her long hair fall straight against her shoulders, but that did not stop him from kissing her. She leaned her head up as she caught his lips, and yet again he was leaving her in her chair to run to the kitchen. She pouted slightly whenever he said he would not give her any hints, but so far it had been well worth it. So she sat there waiting, before she heard him say that she better not be too full. Now she could probably have a sweet or two, but as for more food his spaghetti had been enough to fill the petite brunette over again. She heard his footsteps coming back into the room, and then his voice filled the room while he sang her happy birthday. She was smiling from ear to ear, because her favorite cupcake was sitting right in front of her. Chocolate with strawberry icing, and that touched her even more than the single candle sitting on it. “I don’t need to make a wish. I have everything that I need right here.”[/color] she did however indulge him and blow the candle out. Shayne did not need to make a wish because she had a wonderful man, a wonderful best friend, and life that she could not be happier with. Shayne would never need anything else in the world, all she wished for was for happiness to touch every part of her life.

Soon enough Jem was off plotting phase two, and she was left to indulge herself on this cupcake that was so wonderful. Her boyfriend had to be such a wonderful cook, and she was confused as to how she did not know this already! She had been over there so many times, but never had he actually made her dinner or any other meal. And this cupcake was amazing! Never had Shayne had such an amazing cupcake, and then she thought she heard water. She had a feeling that the next step of this surprise was a bubble bath, and she was itching to just relax with Jem. He had made everything so damn special, but as she watched him come back down the stairs, she saw something in his hand. She knew that this was not going to be a good idea, but whatever he felt the need to do was alright. She smiled at him as he spoke to her. “I guess I can be done and ready for you, handsome.”[/color] she smiled brightly and then she realized what he was trying to do to her. Jem was planning on blindfolding her, and taking her upstairs. This may not have bee his most brilliant idea, but that was his idea. He would just have to deal with her falling a lot. “You are serious about this aren’t you?”[/color] she watched as she shook his head, and then she just stood there letting him wrap his tie around her eyes until he was satisfied.

Soon he was leading her to the stairs, and the only nice part was that Shayne had become quite accustomed to the stairs in his home, so she walked up the stairs cautiously. She still did not want to fall on her ass even if Jem was there to protect her, but when her feet landed on solid floor again she let out a sigh of relief. She smiled brightly and let him lead her to wherever he was talking her, and then she realized where she was without ever having to take the blindfold off. Soon enough Jem was taking his tie off of her eyes, and she was caught off guard by how he had put so much effort into the bubble bath. It was the absolute best bubble bath she was going to have taken, and she turned to him. “Well aren’t you just an amazing boyfriend?! So what now?”[/color] She let a smirk play on her lips as she let her fingers find Jem’s shirt and lift it up over his head. There was no way that he was not going to be partaking in the bubble bath with her. That much was certain.

by the time we say goodnight i'll know if this is right ,

James Hale could definitely be called a romantic. He wasn’t sappy or anything of the such, but he knew how to make the girl he loved feel special. And for Shayne, Jem was definitely pulling out all the stops. Nothing was too good for her. Jem couldn’t even remember the last time he had put so much effort into something. Okay, that was a lie. He did know the last time he had, but it had been quite a long time ago for a very special girl. But Jem wasn’t thinking about her, or anyone else for that matter, except for Shayne. Because this was all for her. This was her night and everything he was doing was for her. She meant that much to him, and she was that special. And he could tell that she was loving everything he did, which in turn made Jem feel good. His goal tonight was to please her, and so far he seemed to be doing a damn good job of it. He’d like to hear her say she didn’t like surprises now, because so far Jem’s had been amazing. From now on he might even make it his goal to give her little surprises, just to prove to her that they weren’t all bad. Jem wasn’t one that had to be right all the time or anything like that, but on this one he was determined to turn her around. Not all surprises were good ones, but Shayne would learn that when they came from Jem, they were.

Jem lead her up the stairs, keeping a hand on her arm and her waist to keep her from falling, walking behind her in order to guide her and to catch her if she happened to fall. Being an EMT like he was, Jem was a bit of a safety freak, always careful because he knew how easily something could turn bad. Maybe blindfolding her to go up the stairs hadn’t been the best idea, but it seemed to be working and they were easily making their way to the second floor of the house. He slowly walked her through his bedroom and then into the bathroom, where he had set everything up. With a grin on his face, Jem stopped her in the doorway and removed the blindfold from her eyes. He looked down so that he could see the reaction on her face, and he was not the least bit disappointed when it came to that. “Well aren’t you just an amazing boyfriend?! So what now?” Jem didn’t the chance to really respond as her hands went to the edge of his shirt and pulled it off. “Whatever you want,” he said softly before he assisted her with her own shirt. It wasn’t long before he had her out of her clothes, just as he had planned, and they were both in the tub, Shayne sitting in front of him, his arms wrapped around her, his mouth next to her ear. “I knew I was going to get you naked tonight,” he whispered in her ear with an easy laugh. He placed a couple light kisses on her neck before his mouth was back hovering next to her ear. “So what do you think about surprises now, Beautiful? Still awful?”

[shayne veronica brennan]

Shayne Brennan had never had a man treat her the way that James Hale did. Never had someone gone out of their way to make her feel so incredibly special, and now that she had someone like that Shayne did not know if she was going to ever be able to give that up. She adored him way to much, and she knew that she was falling in love with him. That was a thought that she was not willing to really admit either, because love had never been good to her. Love was just a feeling that never worked out with Shayne, and her past was proof enough for it. She had been raped as a high school senior, and then she had her life almost choked from her. Now she had a man that actually adored her, and had made her such a wonderful meal and those wonderful cupcakes. Hell he even went as far to make sure that she did not fall down the stairs. He kept his hands on her at all times as they walked up the stairs, but the reality of that was that she knew these stairs like the back of her hand. There was no way that she was going to fall, considering she had made the trek all the time down the stairs in the middle of the night down to the kitchen. But it was something that she adored about him though, he was super protective over her little being.

She knew where ever they were going, it was going to be worth the surprise. Unfortunately, Shayne was going to have to get used to these surprises, even though she hated them. Jem was the only one that would have been able to pull it over on her, and the only one to get away with it. Walking into the bathroom had been something spectacular! Candles were the magical touch and she was instantly in the mood to get naked with him, and that is where her hands had flown. She had grabbed his shirt and was pulling it up over his head. Soon she felt his fingers dancing along her skin, pulling her green scrub shirt up over her head. Soon both of them were standing in front of the tub completely naked, and then she was sprinting into the water. Surprisingly the air was cold against her pale skin, and Shayne was loving every second of being in a bubble bath with her absolutely amazing boyfriend. He wrapped his arms around her and was talking into her ear. His breath made her giggle, but then his words made her laugh. She listened carefully, “I could say the same about you boyfriend. You are so cocky sometimes, you know that right?”

[/color] She giggled lightly as his lips connected with neck, and he knew exactly where to kiss to make her putty in his hands. “I guess, they aren’t all bad. You know you are the only one that could ever get away with this right?”[/color] She smiled as she scooped up some bubbles, and then turned slightly so she could blow them in his face. “How about you? How do you like your surprises with bubbles?”[/color] she laughed even more and then she kissed him gently on the lips. She loved him and that was going to be enough for her. “I have something to tell you, but it might sound really weird. So I don’t know if I should tell you.”[/color] Shayne was really contemplating telling him that she loved him, but that was something she did not know if she should.

by the time we say goodnight i'll know if this is right ,

Jem was a pretty decent guy. Anyone who knew him would have mostly nice things to say about him, if not all nice things. Jem wasn’t like most guys who were arrogant and egotistical and slept with just about anything that moved. No, Jem knew he had flaws and that there were people out there that were better than him for one reason of another. Jem also happened to be a relationship kind of guy. It was true that Jem wasn’t above the occasional casual relationship. Friends with benefits, one night stands, he’d done them before, but Jem really rather preferred being in a relationship. He loved having something meaningful in his life, something that actually had purpose and potential. And Jem had had his fair share of relationships, not all of them ending so well. He had dated Vidette Garland, Shayne’s best friend, many years ago. That one had ended on fairly good terms and the two still happened to be good friends. It kind of worried him that she took an interest in Kaler, but he let it be. What could he really do anyway? And then there was a Mykayla Trent. That was one girl that meant a lot to him, and not just because he had dated her once upon a time. She was a good friend of his, Jem having grown up alongside her and her siblings. She had broken his heart, but Jem definitely still cared about her. In a purely older brother kind of way, of course. He was very protective of her, and he watched out for her. After some of the things that had happened to her, and other things he knew, he really couldn’t help it. She was special like that.

But as much as Jem cared about those lovely ladies, they weren’t Shayne. Somehow that beautiful girl had stepped into his life with her scrubs and her ponytail and stolen his heart before he had even realized it. Not that he was complaining in the slightest. He adored his girlfriend and there wasn’t a single thing that he would ever change about her. And he certainly wouldn’t have changed this moment for anything in the world. “I could say the same about you boyfriend. You are so cocky sometimes, you know that right?” Jem laughed. He was no such thing and she very well knew it, but he wasn’t going to correct her on it. “I guess, they aren’t all bad. You know you are the only one that could ever get away with this right?” The next thing Jem knew he had a hand full of bubbles being blown into his face. He laughed, reaching up to wipe them away. “How about you? How do you like your surprises with bubbles?” She laughed and then kissed him. “It was alright, but you do know you’re the only one that could ever get away with that, right?” Using her words against her. It was genius! “I have something to tell you, but it might sound really weird. So I don’t know if I should tell you.” Jem wasn’t really sure what to make of that, but he’d give it a shot. “Well you can’t really tell me that you have something to tell me and then not tell me what that something is. So spill.” He hoped that she understood that, because Jem wasn’t even completely sure he did.

Shayne knew that what she had going with Jem was something that could never be duplicated. He was a one of a kind, and he was the absolute most wonderful person that had ever walked into Shayne’s life. Now that he was there and she spent as much time as she humanly could with him, she could never imagine her life without him. She had been in relationships that had meant something to her before, but in the same token nothing had made her as happy as she was with Jem. He was the only person that could make her feel like she was floating on air, and that was what she loved about him. Yes, Shayne Brennan had known for a while that she absolutely loved James Alexander Hale with all of her heart. It was hard for her to admit, because no man had worked so hard to be a part of her life before, and no man had gained her trust like he had. She trusted him with her life, and she knew damn well that he would always protect her. Had he known her whenever shit hit the fan with Kaler, things would have been better. Shayne fully believed that, but now that Kaler was always going to be a part of her life. She hated her best friend for that, but thankfully neither of the two important people in her life expected her to be okay with him. Both of them understood that she was absolutely never going to forgive him, and thankfully Jem did not hold it against her that she hated his best friend. It was refreshing to know that no one was going to force this upon her. It was little things like that that made her appreciate what she had even more than that.

So as she snuggled up to her wonderful boyfriend, she was just happy to be spending her usual bubble bath with the absolute love of her life. Shayne had never thought about anyone like this before. He had managed to completely capture her heart, and yet she could still be her goofy, playful self. She loved that he let her get away with blowing bubbles in his face. Now if she had been at home she would have totally been blowing bubbles up into the air. Shayne was a child like that, she loved her bubble baths. She also knew that calling him cocky was so very far from his personality, but he had that moment where he was being cocky. He just knew that he was going to get her naked, but that was what happened with birthdays. She always liked the idea of birthday sex, and now she actually had someone that she wanted to participate in the whole celebratory thing. “You know, I am fairly certain that I knew that. And that was a nice little twist eh, you using my words against me.”

[/color] She laughed a little bit, but she slowly turned herself around so she could face him. She loved to look in his eyes and see all those feelings that she shared for him looking back at her. She let her lips catch his again as she faced him, the man that she loved. She knew that it was going to be something that she needed to tell him, because as far as she knew she was in love with him forever. “Well you can’t really tell me that you have something to tell me and then not tell me what that something is. So spill.” that was what she needed. him to make her say what she needed to say. “Alright, this is something that is not new. I have felt this way for a long time, but I had no idea how to tell you. You don’t have to say anything back, but I have to tell you. James Alexander Hale, I am head over heels in love with you. I don’t know when it happened, but it did. I love you, and you don’t have to say it back, but I needed you to know.”[/color] She looked back up at him and smiled brightly, and then kissed him again. She did not expect him to say anything back, she just needed him to know.

Shayne Brennan was a pretty amazing girl. She was probably one of the most amazing girls that Jem had ever gotten to know, and there weren’t many he could truly say that about. Of course, he was a bit biased when it came to Shayne as he had fallen for her pretty hard. It hadn’t been hard, and it hadn’t taken long, but here he was, crazy about this little brunette in his arms. It was the kind of feeling Jem hadn’t really felt too often. Sure he had had girlfriends, but he couldn’t say that he had loved all of them, or that he had even been this happy in those relationships. But when he was here with Shayne, he knew this was where he was supposed to be, and where he really wanted to be. If he could hide away and keep her with him all the time, he would definitely do it. He could never grow tired of being with her or hate that she was always around. On the contrary, he often felt as if she wasn’t around enough for him. Even though he saw her just about every day in some capacity, and he got to spend some amazing nights with her lying next to him. It was crazy that he should feel so strongly for someone he hadn’t known for long at all, but he did, and he wasn’t really in a mind to change it or second guess it. His relationship with this girl was great and it was all working for them. Who would ever want to change that?

“You know, I am fairly certain that I knew that. And that was a nice little twist eh, you using my words against me.” He grinned, loving the way she kissed him and kissing her back fully. He was enjoying the kisses between them, but he was also curious as to what it was that she wanted to tell him. He waited patiently, though, and did nothing to stop whatever it was that happened between them. He just kind of went with it all and waited to see where it went. “Alright, this is something that is not new. I have felt this way for a long time, but I had no idea how to tell you. You don’t have to say anything back, but I have to tell you. James Alexander Hale, I am head over heels in love with you. I don’t know when it happened, but it did. I love you, and you don’t have to say it back, but I needed you to know.” Jem didn’t say anything at first. Instead, he brought both hands up to the side of her face and kissed her, letting his lips linger against hers and be filled with as much passion as he felt. He pulled back slowly, looking down into her beautiful eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “I love you too, Shayne Veronica Brennan.” He grinned, then leaned forward and kissed her again.

______________________

Shayne knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was in love with him, and the fact that he had gone to all of this trouble for her was amazing. She never expected someone to try that hard to make her feel special. Hell he had even made a bubble bath for her on a night that she had just wanted to be relaxed. Never had someone gone to the lengths that James Hale had done, and that was what made the brunette appreciate everything that he did for her. She had fallen for him hard and fast, something that the brunette had not ever done before, because let’s face it she had no reason to trust a man. Kaler had ruined that for her, but here was Jem picking up the pieces of her broken heart and putting them back together. He was the glue that she needed and he was the only reason that she was able to hold everything together like she had. So tonight, sitting in the bathtub wrapped in bubbles, she knew was the time to tell him how in love with him she was. It was nerve racking, and she was legitimately scared for telling him. Shayne knew that it would sound silly that she was in love with him so soon, but that was when she knew it. She could feel it with every fiber of her being that she loved him. She knew that they had not known each other long, and that it was completely absurd that she was in love with him. One can’t help who they loved, and she knew that she loved him.

She loved the way his lips felt against her skin, the way he always was able to make her feel special, just the way he looked at her. There was something about the two of them that was just easy and very much like breathing. She let her words spill from her lips like she felt in her heart. Shayne knew that this was love, this was what the world was all about. Finding the one person you could love for the rest of your life, and she was done. She would never find someone that she loved more than him, never want a single soul more than him. She wanted to be his girl for the rest of forever, and that was scary for her because no man had come in her life without hurting her. But this was easy between the two of them, and this was what was right. She felt his hands cup her face after she confessed her love, and when his lips met hers she was safe. She felt the passion that he felt for her, and her body was burning to be close to him. But then he pulled away from her enough to look into her dark eyes. She had not expected him to say a word, but then he was there saying that he loved her. Shayne smiled brightly as he kissed her again, and this time she pulled herself closer to him. She wanted to feel his skin against hers and have him there. They were in love, and she kissed him fiercely. She let her lips linger on his, until she slowly started to kiss down his neck. Shayne knew what she wanted, and that was him. She could care less if they were having sex in the tub or where they were, but she wanted to sleep with him for the first time knowing that they were both in love with each other.
