<<Burned into my soul>>

"This pizza's amazing!", Shawn says, taking another slice and looking at it with heart pupils. "Really good."

"I told you", I grin. "It's the best pizza place in town - and in the whole area. I don't think you can find better pizza within the next hundred miles along the coast."

"Wow. I have to say: you're really a good local guide."

"Actually: I am a local."

Shawn grins. "I know. Just saying: In case you don't wanna stay in the music industry you can try it with being a guide."

"I'm gonna think about it. Thank's." I take another slice of pizza too and bite into it. The hot cheese and the tomato-sauce with the spices is so good. I close my eyes enjoying the food.
When I open them again, I detect Shawn looking at me. He swallows hardly. Then he hems.

"Hm?" I look at him questioning.

Shawn
I can't take my eyes of her and she knows it. It's like I'm glued to her - not only to her face but also to her as a person.
Being with Mandy is like being on a wild trip. At the beginning it was difficult - our problems of meeting and finding each other, Amy, Wattpad, all that stuff. But when we finally found each other - when we overcame all of that - it turned out being the most incredible trip I've ever taken with someone.
It feels different with her than with Camila. It feels like it has a future. This time for real. - It took a long time to overcome the hurt, the loss, the emptiness our double-break-up left me in. But once I did it - once I found my way again, I've got back on the track, the sun came through and despite the fear of not being able I could open my heart and my soul again to another person.
Mandy looks at me like she sees something - something that is only visible for her eyes.
I had to share so much with the whole world in the last years - since I was a teenager - and every love - every break-up - it all has been observed by fans, paparazzi, people I don't know. It's scary sometimes that people I've never met know so much about me. However: Mandy gives me the feeling of being not that transparent human that I did become the last years before my break.

Mandy
"So." I eat the last piece of pizza and then look at Shawn sheepishly. "I showed you my hometown and I know yours already - I think we're even."

"Yes we are." Shawn smiles.

I lean over on the couch to kiss him.

Our lips touch and Shawn's putting the pizza box aside to let me pull him over to me. His hands are sliding over my shirt, and after a questioning look, he lets his fingers leave traces on my hips.
I love how gentle his touch is and how respectful he acts.
With my fingers I follow the tattoos on his arms and his chests and I make circles on his bird tattoo. "Remember how you'd send me a picture of this tattoo once?"

"Yeah. I thought this would persuate you that I'm - well - who I am."

"Didn't work, but I was impressed that somebody would get the same tattoo as their favourite singer."

"Would you get a tattoo? Not a bird but ... a name?"

"Of my favourite singer?"

Shawn nods sheepishly.

"Maybe." I raise my eyebrows. "Where'd you want me to have it?"

"Here", Shawn kisses my collarbone.
"Or here", he kisses my neck.
"Or here." He sinks his head to the sensible spot over my hip.

I shudder.

"So this place it is", Shawn says.
