"I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?" I stand silently in the door of the kitchen, a large grin spreading across my lips as I watch my boyfriend of two years quietly sing the well-known song from Aladdin to himself as he chops up fruit. As his sweet voice fills the air I find myself wondering how did I mange to get so lucky, that this boy standing in front of me is actually mine.

"I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride," I sing along, snaking my arms around Shawn's waist from behind. I feel him jump slightly in surprise, before dropping the knife and spinning around to face me in the process. A massive smile adorns his rosy lips and I reach up to gently push back the curl that has escaped from his sweatband.

Grabbing my hands with his large ones, he pulls me into the middle of the kitchen floor, spinning me in circles as we both belt out the chorus, one of us much more in tune than the other.
"A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no," I throw my arms out extravagantly and Shawn copies.
"Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming!" Shawn effortlessly picks me up bridal style and spins me in circles as we continue to practically yell the lyrics.
"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you!" By this time we're both clutching our sides from laughing so hard, trying our best to get the words out. It's really not fair that Shawn still manages to sound like an angel even though he's two seconds away from keeling over, yet I sound like a dying walrus with asthma.

I'm hunched over, gasping as I try to get the laughter to subside. Suddenly I feel Shawn's hand grab my waist, pulling me towards him. I bump into his chest with a soft thud and he wraps his arms tightly around me. I look up, noticing how flushed Shawn's face is, tears of laughter shining in his gorgeous brown eyes, and I'm filled with nothing but love and admiration for this man standing in front of me.

"I love you," Shawn whispers, bumping his nose against mine.
"I love you too." I softly press my lips against his. I can feel his smile as he deepens the kiss, pulling me even closer.
"Shawn?" I mumble as I pull away and lean my head against his chest.
"Yeah?" He answers as he sways us side to side.
"Can we go watch Aladdin now?"
"We'd be mad if we didn't," he grins, taking me hand and pulling me into the sitting room, all thoughts of the smoothie he was making forgotten.

I plop onto the couch, grabbing a blanket as Shawn puts the DVD on. As the trailers begin to play, he climbs under the blanket with me, pulling me closer to him. I close my eyes in content, thinking about how happy I am right now, just sitting here with Shawn. I feel him kiss my forehead and I smile.

I really love this boy...  maybe more than I love Disney movies.
