Do Or Die:Part Nine
Taylor’s POV
Enjoying being back on the road Shannon was trying hard to work out the small bumps in our relationship, trying to put time aside from his busy schedule we spent most nights curled up together either chatting or watching a movie.
Lying in the newest hotel room we laid under the duvet watching the next episode of the newest TV series we decided to watch, smiling as Torrie’s screams sounded from the room next to us we sniggered as they were making up for lost time. Hearing their moans of pleasure Shannon grabbed the remote and turned the volume up, moving over I rested against his chest.  
Working our way through the episodes I relaxed against Shannon as I slowly felt myself relaxing, hearing a knock on the door Shannon growled as he got up to answer. Hearing Torrie and Jared on the other side I smiled, hurrying into the room Torrie climbed into bed beside me. Laughing I forgot we had planned a movie night, growling Shannon sighed as he climbed back into the bed. Grabbing the remote I smiled up at him as Torrie and I quickly chose the movie, taking the popcorn from Jared we all relaxed back and began sitting in a comfortable silence.
Laughing as the movie ended Shannon and Jared stood up and danced around to the end credits, holding onto my sides Torrie and I laughed loudly as we watched them both. Wiping my eyes as the tears ran down my cheeks my sides hurt from laughing so hard, taking a few deep breaths Shannon jumped on me and pinned me to the bed. Blowing raspberries on my face I squealed with laugher, smiling as he kissed over my face I squirmed from underneath him.
“Shannon…Babe get off!” Laughing I struggled to move, kissing and nibbling down my neck Shannon growled before pulling away.
Smiling I ran my hands over his head, tugging on his hair gently Jared cleared his throat. Glancing over at them Torrie climbed into his lap, sighing happily in unison we both started to laugh. Rolling over I leaned into Shannon as my breathing slowed back down to a normal pace.
“Tell us how Shannon and you met again’ Torrie asked as she made herself comfortable.
"Oh, come on do they have to!” Jared groaned, laughing Shannon nodded
“Yeah, I mean come on Torrie, how many times have you heard this?” Shannon agreed
“Over a thousand times but I like hearing it…come on Tay please” Torrie pleaded, laughing I nodded and sat up a little
“Fine but you’re getting the shortened version” I laughed, glancing up at Shannon he made a face, laughing I took a deep breath before starting our story from years ago.
*Back Story*
Looking through the shelves of CDs I smiled as I pulled one out, placing it into a pile on the side I moved down the aisle in my own little world, humming along to the tune that was being played in the store, I was brought back to the present when a CD came flying over to me, hitting my hand it fell to the floor. Jumping as it fell to the floor I glanced at my hand as it left a small mark, bending over I picked it up and looked in the direction it came from.  
‘What the hell’ I said to the man standing across from me biting his lip trying not to laugh
Looking at the man he didn’t hide the fact he was looking up and down my body, licking over his lips he smiled. Glaring at him I waited for a reasonable explanation, walking the short distance to me he leaned against the shelves, licking over his lips again he bit his bottom lip as he slowly dragged his eyes up to meet mine.
“Hi…I’m Shannon, what’s your name beautiful” He smiled, shaking my head I couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy.
‘Ok then…I’m Taylor…now Shannon why did you throw this at me’ I said holding the CD up for him to see, smirking he gestured to my pile I had already picked out
‘You don’t have a very good taste in music. Mine is a lot better, you look like the kinda girl that would listen to it, so I thought I’d give you it’ he replied as he crossed his arms, rolling my eyes I laughed, looking at him I shook my head.
‘My music taste is fine thank you very much, plus is it too hard to walk over like a normal person and hand the CD to me’ I said looking at it not wanting to meet his intense hazel stare
‘If you say so, handing it over like a normal person would have just been awkward, you were in your own little world when I was watching you so I thought I would just throw it to be less awkward’ He smiled shrugging, staring at him I let out a snort
‘So, you throw it at me thinking that wouldn’t be awkward either? Then you tell me you’ve been watching me…yeah nothing weird about that at all. Anyway thanks…Shannon I’ll take your advice, I’m going to pay and leave this awkward situation. Have a nice life’ I said as I waved over my shoulder.
Calling out a goodbye I felt the smiling tugging on my lips, smiling I paid for my things. Walking out the store I pulled out the CD Shannon had given me, reading over it I couldn’t wait to listen to it, sighing I walked the short distance to my car.
Spending the rest of the week running errands Shannon had been right, listening to the CD in the car for the past week I was beginning to like it even more. Finishing up my errands for the day I sang along to my favourite song on the CD as I drove to my favourite little café to get a coffee and relax with a book.  
Entering the coffee shop, I smiled as the bell chimed above me voicing my entrance, climbing up into my usual seat by the counter I rested my feet on the stool. Leaning over the counter I smiled as the waitress winked and started to make my coffee, smiling back at her I pulled my book out and started to read. Sipping my coffee, I thanked Lynsey before returning to my book, turning the page, I slowly lost myself in the story.
Smiling as I finished my coffee I swung my legs from the high stool, ordering another coffee a while later time seemed to disappear. Taking a bite of their famous cupcake, I smiled as I turned the page again, chewing I licked over my lips as a bright yellow packet popped into the corner of my eye. Reading the rest of the paragraph I stopped and stared at the page as another little yellow packet had landed directly on top of it, sighing I looked up to the direction it came from. Sighing my face was screwed up preparing to tell the person off for interrupting me, when my eyes landed on a somewhat familiar face I groaned.
‘Not you again’ I said as I tossed the sugar packet onto the counter, smiling he pushed himself off of the end of the counter and slowly stalked over to me. Swinging the chair around he slowly climbed up into it, resting his arms on the counter he ordered a coffee before returning his attention to me.
‘So, you remember me CD girl…Taylor right?’ Shannon said smiling wide, shaking my head he was the last person I wanted to see right now.
‘What is your obsession with throwing things at me…Think I need some sugar?’ I ask motioning to my coffee, shaking his head violently he smirked.
‘No, you’re sweet enough’ He smirked as he winked
Blushing I looked away, smirking I grabbed one of the sugar packets and threw it at him. Trying to catch it he laughed loudly, smiling as his laugh boomed around the small cafe. Biting my lip, I tried to act not interested, opening my book I cleared my throat as I tried to start reading again. Re-read the same sentence a few times I felt Shannon’s eyes on me, moving in my seat a little I took a small sip of coffee. Feeling him watching my every move I turned the page scanning the text.  
‘Is there a problem I’m a little busy’ I sighed, shaking his head he just smiled
‘No….No problem at all’ He smirked, shaking my head I picked another few packets of sugar up and tossed them at him.
‘Well stop staring at me, weirdo’ I smiled
Laughing again he turned to face the front, smiling I felt the butterflies dancing in my stomach. Sipping the last of my coffee I gathered my things, saying a quick bye to Lynsey I didn’t utter a word to Shannon. Holding onto my phone I quickly left the coffee shop, letting out a breath I didn’t know I was holding I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face as I walked to the small park a little down the road. Finding a quiet spot, I sat down on a bench, taking a deep breath, my mind wandered over Shannon again. Licking my lips, I shook my head a little trying to get the image of him out of my head.  
Texting my best friend Torrie, I pulled my book out, going back to where I left off I started to read again. Reading over the chapter I relaxed back on the bench as someone sat beside me, holding my breath a little I slowed down. Licking my lips, I looked from the corner of my eye to see the figure slowly sliding along the bench towards me, feeling paranoid I subtlety moved over a little as I readjusted.
Holding onto my bag tightly I held onto the book ready for whatever the stranger had coming, licking across my lips the breath caught in my throat as they moved even closer. Feeling them leaning against my shoulder my whole body went stiff.
‘Hi Taylor…Fancy meeting you here’ Shannon smiled as he looked out across the park, feeling my heart leap into my chest I felt like a bag of nerves.
'The hell Shannon! Are you trying to give me a heart attack….and why do you keep following me!’ I said moving to look at him, putting some distance between us I waited for him to answer
Smiling he pulled his sunglasses off, waiting I swallowed hard as I was finally able to look over him. Realising how attractive he was I felt my cheeks flush, noticing the tattoo’s he smirked as I checked him out. Noticing his muscular frame, I slowly looked back up at him to look into his intense hazel stare.  
‘Why did you bother chasing me down again’ I asked, watching him his full lips spread into a smile, moving closer to me again he didn’t stop smiling.
‘Because I want to get to know you’ He smiled, shaking my head I closed my book giving him my full attention.
‘But why’ I sigh
‘Because I want to get to know you, you seem really cool…plus your beautiful’ He smiled as he winked
Dropping my eyes from his I felt myself blushing under his stare, wiping a hair away from my face I mumbled a small thank you. Drumming his hands on his thighs he smiled, reaching into his back pocket he pulled his phone out. Sitting there I didn’t know what to say as he scrolled through his phone, smiling he handed it over to me.
‘Here give me your number so I can get to know you better’ He smiled,  
‘I can’t give you my number I don’t know you’ I frowned
‘That’s the point. I really want to get to know you. Plus, I would like to go back to the music shop and tell you which CD’s to buy, you really need to update your collection’ Shannon smiled.
Holding his phone up my heart leapt out my chest as I looked into his warm eyes, taking his phone with shaky hands I typed my number into a new contact. Fighting with the thoughts in my head I was torn in two as I typed my number, sighing as he felt different I trusted him already. Swallowing the lump in my throat I handed him his phone back, looking over the number he saved it into his phone. Sending out a quick text his eyes lit up as my phone dinged with a new message, smiling as he stood up he put his phone in his pocket.
‘See you around Taylor’ Shannon smiled
Winking he turned and walked back the road we came, watching him looking away I wiped my sweaty palms on my legs. Letting out a shaky breath I closed my eyes briefly, waiting a few moments I took my phone out and saved his number. Slowly standing up I gathered my things with the thought of him on my mind.
Jumping on the band wagon…
