Shawn and Belle Fan Fiction.  Section one: Letting Down the Walls
Chapter five

    They went into the entrance way that led into the hallway that went down to Greta and Mrs. Horton's room on the left and a family room on the right.  Further down the hall were Bo and Hope's room and Marlena and John's room with a bathroom at the farthest end.  Shawn led the way up the stairs that opened into a large open dining room and kitchen.  Next to it was a living room.  To the side of the kitchen was a hall that led to four doors, three of which were bedrooms and the other being a small bathroom.  Both floors had balconies that wrapped the whole way around the house and the entire front of the dining room was picture windows that showed a view of the ocean.  They went back to get their bags.
     Shawn picked up his one large bag and saw Belle struggling with a large suitcase, her makeup box, her purse, and a duffel bag.  Shawn laughed and took the suitcase from her.  She picked up another bag of hers and they started inside and up the stairs.  "Did you bring enough clothes?" Shawn joked, as he dragged her bag up the stairs.  He deposited hers in her room and then went down the hall to his.  Belle opened up the windows in her room and inhaled the scent of the ocean.  She looked around her room-it was a large room with a Queen-size bed, a dresser, a vanity, and two doors.  The one door was her closet and she opened the other, which revealed a bathroom.  Through the bathroom she could see Shawn unpacking his things.  She walked through.  "Looks like we're sharing a bathroom, kid" she said.  Shawn turned around.  "That could be interesting" he said.  "Go get dressed, I wanna hit the beach".  She turned and went back through to her room.
     Shawn finished unpacking and quickly threw on his swim trunks.  He pulled on some sandals and went through the bathroom.  There he found Belle hanging sundresses in her closet.  "C'mon, hurry, let's go!" he said.  "I don't know where my suits are" she said, looking through a bag.  "Suits?  How many did you bring?" he asked.  "Three" she said, as she found them.  "But I want to unpack, I hate leaving everything a mess".  "Get changed and I promise I'll help you unpack later, ok?" he said.  "Hurry!"  "Well, get out so I can get changed!" she said, laughing and pushing him out.  She pulled on her blue flowered two piece-she hoped she could get some sun that day.  She slipped on some sandals and a pair of shorts and a tank top.  She opened the door to find Shawn waiting there for her with a tube in his hand.
     "Can you put some sun block on me?" he asked.  "I can't reach my back".  Belle quickly rubbed some on his shoulders and back.  She realized that he must have been working out lately because his shoulders were broad and strong and his arms were getting muscular-she was impressed.  "Aren't you wearing any?  You'll burn out there" he said, turning to her.  "I guess I should" she said.  "But nothing that strong".  She quickly put some SPF 4 all over and they took off down the hall.  "We're going to the beach!" he yelled, as he pulled her through the living room.  They passed Greta and Eric on the stairs.  "We'll meet you in a few" Eric said, as Shawn pulled her past and out the door.  They walked down near the water and spread their blanket.
     "Let's go check out the water," Shawn said, kicking off his shoes and starting down.  Belle followed and dipped her toes in. "It's cold!" she yelled, starting to walk back out.  "Aren't you coming in?" Shawn asked, standing in the water up to his knees.  "Let me warm up first" she answered, walking back up to their blanket.  She sat down and Shawn joined her a few minutes later.  "It's no fun alone" he said, as he sat down next to her.  Belle lay down on her back and tried to relax.  Shawn began to amuse himself by throwing tiny seashells at her.  "Bulls-eye!" he said, laughing, as one landed in her bellybutton.  She sat up.  "Shawn, we're in one of my favorite places in the world" she said.  "Let's enjoy it-together.  Let's try to get along and have a fantastic time".  "Alright" he said, grinning and sticking out his hand.  "Let's shake on it". They shook hands just as Eric and Greta walked up to them.
     "What are you two shaking on?" he asked, as he pulled off his shirt.  "We're agreeing not to fight over anything stupid for the rest of the trip" Belle said.  "Well, best of luck to ya" Eric answered.  "Greta, didn't you wear your suit?"  She blushed and put her head down.  "I did, I'm just a little shy" she said.  "Ok, take your time" he said, as his mom, John, Bo, and Hope walked up.  "Hey guys, enjoying the water?" Bo asked.  "We haven't gone in yet," Shawn said.  "Are you guys?"  "I don't think so, there's too much unpacking and food shopping and stuff for us to do" Hope answered.  "We just wanted to come down and see the water".  Belle began to sweat.  "I'm going in" she announced, as she stood up.  She looked over at Shawn.  "Is anyone coming with me?"  "We'll be down in a few minutes," Eric said.  Shawn didn't answer her so she made her way down to the water alone.  She waded into the water and looked around.
     "Why don't you join her, Shawn?" Bo said.  "If guys see a pretty girl like that alone, they're sure to go after her".  "Why would I care?" he mumbled.  "But I'll go, just to keep an eye on her for you guys".  "Thanks Shawn" Marlena said, winking at Hope.  Shawn stood up and walked down to the water.  He broke into a run and splashed up next to her.  She screamed and tried to push him away.  He grabbed her and picked her up in his arms.  He carried her out to the deeper water and dropped her in.  She came back out, shaking water from her hair.  Everyone on shore started laughing as Greta and Eric started down to join them.  Shawn swam out to deeper water and turned to see Belle following him.  She dove into a wave and came up a few feet from him. Eric and Greta joined them a minute later where they swam around and splashed each other. 
     "Guys, we're going back up!" Hope shouted, when she finally got their attention.  They left and they continued playing in the water.  Greta got cold after awhile so they went back up to the blanket.  "We're going for a walk," Eric yelled out to Shawn.  Shawn looked at Belle, who shivered.  "We should go in," he said.  Belle nodded.  They started to make their way to shore as a huge wave came and knocked Belle off her feet.  She slipped underwater and came up coughing.  "Are you ok?" he asked, holding on to her as she pushed her hair out of her face.  "Yeah" she said.  "How embarrassing" she added, as she adjusted her bathing suit top.  Shawn laughed.  "It's just me," he said, as they made their way up to the shore.  Shawn got there first and picked up her towel.  He wrapped it around her and then grabbed his own.  He rubbed her shoulders to warm her as they stared out to the ocean.  Belle sat down then on the blanket and rolled over on her stomach.  "If I fall asleep, don't let me sleep long," she said, putting her head down and closing her eyes.  "Not a problem" Shawn answered, taking out a book.  He began to read as Belle fell asleep.
