Took me ages to finish this one, Jesus Christ... But I like it. Inspired by the best band ever. Hope you'll enjoy it !

He's been thinking a lot lately. What if the past two years of his life have been a lie ? This question is haunting him right now. Every time he watches her, that same interrogation comes up.

Has this ever been real ?

He looks at her briefly. She's making herself some coffee in the kitchen, and he's observing her from the white couch of the cosy living room. He watches her every move like he used to at the beginning of their relationship, but this time, he doesn't know what feeling he should get. Maybe nothing ?

She pours her drink in her favourite mug and quickly cleans the kitchen island before she makes her way to the bedroom again, passing right in front of Shawn.

"Are you ok ?" She asks as she stops walking, noticing his state.

His eyes were lost in the room, as the void filling them could tell, but he rapidely came back on Earth when he heard some random words coming from the girl standing in front of him.

"Sorry, what did you say ? I was... somewhere else."

The young woman furrows her brows at his weird behaviour but finds it quite funny. He's always been a dreamer after all.

"I just asked you if you were ok." Shz says, running her free hand once through his thick curls.

Shawn's eyes set on her face for a few seconds, and he simply nods, wanting to get back to his thoughts.

Flawless, that's what he thought at first.

She shrugs his poor answer off and disappears into their shared bedroom, returning to whatever she was doing before.

He sighs, kind of relieved to be alone again. He needs to review the situation right now. He knows it will hurt even more if he keeps waiting, so his mind just wanders back to where it was before.

"Wait, I think it's them." Brian told him, cutting off the discussion they were holding on the comfortable couch to go open the door.

Brian had organized a party at his apartment and obviously invited Shawn, his closest friend, along with some other shared friends. However, Brian had let Shawn know that some other friends he didn't know would come too. The tall brown haired guy didn't mind a bit, he had always loved meeting new people.

"Hey ! I'm glad you're finally here !" Shawn heard Brian say loudly.

His attention immediately turned to the front door, where a few people were entering the room. He stood up, ready to greet everyone with a manly handshake for the guys, and an insignificant kiss on the cheek for the girls. But before he could even say hello to the first guest, his eyes spotted her.

She was wearing a tight soft pink dress, matching high heels, and a thin golden necklace hanging low to her cleavage. Loose natural curls and a light touch of makeup were what she opted for to complete her look. She was magnificent. She was flawless.

She started approaching him, and he immediately felt nervous. Once she was right in front of him, she leant in and kissed his cheek with her plump lips covered in a thin layer of liquid lipstick. Shivers erupted all over his skin, and his lips parted slightly.

In his whole life, he had never seen a girl like her. So classy, so refined, but so natural. Flawless was the correct description.

Her piercing eyes found his one last time, and she smiled at him before she made her way to the group of friends taking some drinks in the kitchen. Shawn's gaze followed her, noticing the way her hips swayed with each step. He got lost in the way she moved in a matter of seconds.
