*Quinn*

After 5 minutes of ignoring Shawn, we arrived to the apartment building.

The interior was huge and quite busy.

I wandered my way over to the desk, not taking my eyes off the lobby's interior.

"Good afternoon, how may I help you two?" The lady behind the computer asked.

"Hi! I'm actually just checking in as a new resident." I spoke in a somewhat peppy tone.

"Alright, name?"

"Quinn Reyes."

"Gotcha, can I see your ID and renting document please?"

I dug through my carry on bag and pulled out my license and slightly crumpled papers.

I slid them across the desk and waited as she clicked away with her mouse.

I saw Shawn tap his foot and place his hands on his hips as we waited.

He caught my gaze and smirked in response.

I awkwardly snapped my head away and looked opposite of his direction, scanning the new area.

"Alrighty Miss. Reyes, you're placed in room 217. Here's your main key," She smiled handing me the small object, "We'll have your spare to pick up by 6 this evening. If you could sign these please." She grinned handing me a couple of papers to sign.

I nodded and picked up the pen signing the few documents.

After signing them Shawn and I entered the elevator just a feet away from the desk.

"So is this what you're gonna do for the rest of the day?" He asked.

I furrowed my eye brows in question and let him continue.

"You're gonna completely ignore me because I pushed you down the street on a suitcase?" He asked giggling.

"Well it was mean Shawn." I whined from the corner of the elevator.

"I'm sorry, I thought it would be funny!" He apologized defending his case.

"Well it wasn't." I huffed.

"Just let it go already."

"I was gonna until you brought it up again." I sassed teasing him.

As he went to open his mouth with a comeback, I bursted out into laughter.

"What's so funny?" He scoffed crossing his arms.

I continued to giggle at him.

"You have some serious issues." He said.

The door then opened to my floor.

"A serious issue with you." I teased, winking before slipping out of the elevator.

"What was that?" Shawn questioned following me out into the hallway.

"I said last one to my door is a rotten egg." I stuck my tongue out and sprinted away.

"Hey!" He shouted chasing me.

When I arrived to 217 I tried to quickly shove in the key, fumbling with the knob.

I felt a loss in his presence causing me not to rush as much.

"Need some help?" A raspy voice asked from behind me.

Damn.

Ninja skills.

I turned around now face to face with Shawn. He placed his arms to the side of my arms, trapping me between him and the door.

My breath hitched a bit as my hand still fumbled with the door.

As if I was saved by the bell, the door opened and we stumbled through.

I giggled at his jumpy facial expression.

"This place is beautiful Quinn." He cooed admiring the interior.

I took a step back and took in the apartment as well.

It's beautiful. Prettier than the picture.
"Yeah...wow." I let out in awe.

"Just one problem," Shawn began, "It may be a little difficult without any furniture."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "Good one captain obvious. Most of my stuff's scheduled to arrive around 6:30 this evening, furniture comes tomorrow." I said.

"Ah I see, I was concerned for a moment."

I nudged him playfully and walked off to view the rest of the apartment.

"Hey, would you mind if I used the bathroom quickly? Then we could head out." Shawn asked as he joined me in what was the bedroom.

"Depends, do you need me to come hold your little hand and encourage you as you go?" I teased.

"No, not funny." He groaned causing me to giggle a bit.

"Well then feel free to use it." I leaned back on the window sill and admired his back muscles through the tight tee, as he walked to the bathroom.

As I patiently awaited his pee, I decided to change out of my heavy sweatshirt.

I rummaged through my luggage coming across a white under armour tee.

Hey it may be what I sleep in, but anything to prevent sweat, will work.

I quickly stripped off the sweatshirt and threw it across the floor.

"Even the bathroom is beautiful." Shawn's voice spoke reentering the bedroom.

I turned around abruptly to face him as I stood in the middle of the living room in a bra.

"Look away I'm changing!" I squealed covering my chest.

"Oh my god Quinn I'm so sorry!" He immediately covered his eyes and turned.

My face now beat red, I threw on the shirt.

"Ok we can go, sorry for that." I apologized as he started laughing at me.

"Don't apologize, what boy wouldn't appreciate that sight. I mean c'mon." He winked making me even more embarrassed.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my phone and key off the counter. Shawn following, I left the room heading down to the elevator.

"Can I press the button? Pweaseee?" Shawn begged in a child like voice.

I rolled my eyes and giggled.

"Whatever makes you happy."

He broke out into a cheer and pressed floor 1 as we entered.

We stood in the confined space with three other people.

I looked over at Shawn who caught my gaze and starting making funny faces behind everyone.

I tried hard to contain my laughter as the residents gave us dirty looks.

When the doors open we busted out laughing.

"Did you see the way that old guy rolled his eyes at you. Oh my god." Shawn said in between breaths.

I giggled along as we left the building.

"Hey Shawn!" A voice jumped at us from the side. The man held a camera quite close to Shawn beginning to follow us down the block.

"What's up my man?" Shawn responded with a slight smile.

"Not much, how about you? Oh and hello who are you." He asked motioning to me.

Just as I opened my mouth to speak, Shawn lightly nudged me giving me the signal to keep quiet.

"How's Hailey? Are you guys still together? Is this your new girlfriend?" The guy hammered.

Shawn stayed quiet during most of the harassment.

"Thank you man have a nice one." Shawn said as he suddenly stopped and pulled me into a random store.

We rushed into the store breaking away from the paparazzi.

"I'm so sorry I hate them." He apologized.

"Don't apologize Mendes, I should be the one to apologize for the way they treat you."

"It's something you just get used to."

"Well then you handled it like a pro." I said grinning.

He winked back and ran a hand through his hair.

We stood in silence as Shawn took out his phone and began to type away god knows what.

I began scanning the small shop as Shawn handled whatever was going on through the screen.

One scan of the store and I realized where we stood.

"Shawn?" I called out.

"Mhm?" He hummed not looking up from his phone.

"Do you realize where we are?" I chuckled awkwardly

His face then froze looking up and around the store. The items making his face heat up.

"Holy crap. I'm so sorry. Let's go!" He said laughing.

Shawn put a hand over my eyes as we left the shop.

I laughed along with the now awkward vibe between us.

"That's a sight I'll never shake out of my mind." He said shaking his head in disgust.

"Next time, read the sign." I pointed to it.
