Shut the fuck up and enjoy the view

Shutting the fuck up has been one of my favorite things to do lately. I’m still not super great at it, but I’m trying to get better every day.

If you or someone you know has suffered from being a mansplainer, ask your doctor if ShuttingUp is right for you

I LOVE you and your writings 🙊❤❤❤ So much love there 😉❤❤❤ Could you possible write 38 ?! Thaaanks 🙋😘❤❤

Thank you so much, you’re so sweet 😭😭 I’m sorry I took so long ☹️

38. You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.

Liam woke up to a pounding headache, and an ache in hisback. He must’ve fallen asleep on the couch with the TV on because it was so loud. Whatever he was watching had a lotof yelling, and, honestly, he had had about enough of it.

He groaned, reaching out in an attempt to feel for theremote and turn the damned thing off, only for the yelling to abruptly cut offas his hand hit something warm and solid.

What, Liamthought, before prying his eyes open to peer at what his hand had run into. Thefirst thing he saw was inky black hair and smooth, tan skin. In a rush, Liam’smemories all came flooding back.

Going to the coffee shop, trying to get caffeine to fuel himthrough the next couple of hours so he could finish his final project. Running onan already pathetic amount of sleep. The cute TA, Zayn, from his senior seminarclass coming over to say hi. Liam’s severely sleep deprived brain yelling TALK! BE INTERESTING! TALK! Liam fuckinglistening to it and just not shuttingup, not bothering to take a breath between his ramblings. Thinking ‘hey, don’tbrain’s need oxygen?’ and then faintly,some sort of shout before darkness consumed him.

Oh, God, Liam had fainted. He’d been so busy fucking rambling to his cute TA that he hadn’tbothered to take a fucking breath and he’d passedout.

Vaguely, he was aware that Zayn was saying something to him,but all Liam could think was a horrified string of no, no, no, no, please God no.

Zayn’s brows drew together, his concern obvious on his face ashe moved his hand from Liam’s shoulder to cup his cheek. It was in that momentthat Liam realized exactly where he was laying: on the coffee shop floor,surrounded by concerned customers and workers, with his head in Zayn’s lap.

Liam had never wanted the floor to open up beneath him sobad in his life.

“Liam?” Zayn asked, his thumb slowly stroking Liam’s—no doubtextremely red—cheek.

“Yeah?” Liam croaked out.

Zayn’s shoulder sagged a bit, relief at Liam’s responseobvious. “Are you okay? How are you feeling?”

Liam closed his eyes, kind of wishing he’d just pass backout again. “Like I wanna die?”

That startled a laugh out of Zayn, causing Liam’s eyes topop open and watch his joy in real time. “Do you remember what happened?”

Liam groaned, barely resisting the urge to hide his face—hisinstinct was to turn it and press it into Zayn’s stomach to hide, but, boy,wouldn’t that just embarrass him further?

“Rather wish I di’n’t, actually.”

Zayn laughed again, his thumb still making slow sweeps overLiam’s cheek, the fingers of his other hand buried in Liam’s hair. He was loathedto admit it out loud, but those hands were rather soothing. It was just—he hadpictured cuddle Zayn under verydifferent circumstances, not, y’know, while wishing he was dead.

“Liam, you fainted…straight into my arms.” And fuck Zayn very much for sounding so amused by it.Liam knew what happened, thank you very much. Liam squeezed his eyes shutagain, praying for the universe to just givehim a break for once. “You know,” Zayn continued. “If you wanted myattention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

Liam felt his eyes snap open, his gaze immediately focusingon Zayn’s teasing smile, the fond look in his eyes. Liam’s breath caught.

“Zayn Malik…are you flirting with me?”

Zayn’s smile widened, his cheeks pushing up and his nosecrinkling and fuck, if Liam hadn’talready been sprawled across Zayn’s lap, he’s pretty sure his knees would’vegiven out.

“Maybe. I figured it was a better plan than collapsing inyour arms to try and get your attention.” Zayn gave a light shrug, mischiefstill evident on his face. Liam only gave a smug grin in response, his embarrassmentforgotten for the moment.

“Well, it seems to be working so far, yeah?”

Zayn opened his mouth, a retort on the tip of his tongue,before someone clearing their throat interrupted him. Both Zayn and Liam’s headsswung around, reality crashing back into Liam while looking at the, clearly amused,barista.

They were still sprawled on the coffee shop’s floor. Fuck. Liam felt his cheeks heatagain, embarrassment slamming into him at full force.

“As cute as this all is,” the barista began. “I’d hate tosee the two of you get trampled when the lunch rush comes in. If he really isalright, maybe you two could move this to a table instead of the floor?”

Liam cleared his throat, levering himself up and off thefloor, Zayn doing the same next to him. The barista gave them one last humorfilled smile, before returning behind the counter.

Liam was trying to think up the best, least embarrassingescape plan, when a hand on his wrist drew his attention to the man next tohim.

“So…,” Zayn started. “Coffee?” There was a faint dusting ofred across Zayn’s cheeks, only noticeable if you were looking for it. “I-Imean,” Zayn continued, his cheeks flaring more red right before Liam’s eyes. “Thesemester is technically over, y-you’ve just got your final project, yeah? A-andI don’t, I mean I don’t grade those. That’s, my responsibilities are over forthe semester. Well, I mean, they’re not, but, like, I don’t have any more sayin your grade and I-” Zayn turned away, his hand falling away from Liam’swrist. “I just mean that I’m not technically your TA anymore, so there’s no, ah…ruleagainst us dating anymore.”

Liam felt a small, shy smile spread across his lips at Zayn’sramblings. “How long have you been planning to ask me out, Zayn?”

Zayn stuttered, his cheeks still bright red as his eyes metLiam’s. Liam couldn’t help the laugh that slipped past his lips as he reachedforward to intertwine their fingers.

“Coffee sounds great.” And really, Liam thought maybe theuniverse was finally giving him abreak, especially since it allowed Zayn to smile at Liam like that.

Happy December 1st. Last month to go out with a Big Bang theory of how Jesus was born from a virgin mother named Mary. Then some thing later on about Adam & Eve, we may all be their inbreed seedlings because Mother Nature is Eve . Anyhow any way I wish my sisters wish of going to the beach vacay on my birthday happens upcoming year. We both fell into debt when we were suckered into a vacation resort ownership brought us near to stressful financial burdens. Butt, we both made it through with some benefited of contributing money when it was sorely needed. Is hard working dumb fucks gave up our dog to the pound because we all worked so much he didn't have any companionship. In retrospect, that lesson was a blessing in disguise to shine some sense into our noggins. #Shuttingup #abugslife

anyways its 3am,,,,,,,,,,,,and im full of opinions im shuttingup now

[rkamiya]

people...

there’s this certain type of people that, when you did something and asks for explanation?

1) it’s either you provide them an honest explanation then they’ll respond with doubtful reaction

2) or they’ll blatantly brushed you off away without even asking an explanation

so, in the end it’s better to shut yourself off and put a distance on these kind of people... :/
