After eating and shopping some more with Taylor, I sent Shawn a text letting him know that I was on my way back to the hotel.

"I had lots of fun with you today!" Taylor gushed as she helped carried my bags up to my room.

"So did I, we will have to do that again sometime soon." I said as I struggled to unlock and open the door.

When I got the door open all of the lights were off, but I could see a candle glowing faintly out on the balcony and soft guitar music.

"I think this is my cue to leave." Taylor whispered and set the bags down on the floor before she turned to go.

I set the other bags by them and I walked out onto the balcony, where I saw Shawn playing the guitar with dinner set out on a table next to him.

"I couldn't possibly love you anymore, but I say that everyday and you prove me wrong." I said.

Shawn stopped playing.

"You like it?"

"Yes." I waited for him to set his guitar down before hugging him.

"I almost forgot." Shawn said as he reached over to the bouquet and plucked out a single flower.

He places it behind my ear and kissed my jaw.

"How was dealing with management?" I asked him.

"They were upset and I had to pay a fine to the hotel for causing them trouble, but nothing too bad."

Shawn walked over and pulled my chair out for me and then he went around so he could sit across from me.

"I really hate to ruin the moment, but we have to talk." Shawn told me.

"I knew this would be coming." I sighed.

"Lance said he spent the night with you. I don't think I would have believed him, but he did attack me here at the hotel."

"He did. I was confused and we also had to talk things through and we both fell asleep while talking. In the morning I told him to leave and he did. Nothing happened between us." I decided to leave out the part where I kissed him...

Twice.

"Why didn't you fight back when he attacked you?" I asked him.

"He came into the lobby and called me out for cheating on you, so I knew I deserved it." Shawn looked away from me.

The words were still loud and clear in my head.

Once a cheater always a cheater.

"I would never cheat on you Shawn. Not ever. I love you." I had to tell him that, to assure him, but mostly to assure myself.

I know how much it hurts to be cheated on and even if he did cheat on me before, he didn't deserve to feel that kind of pain.

"I love you, too." He smiled at me, but his eyes were wet with tears.
