Unhidden Love (Shawn Mendes)

Chapter 5

After showering, I scrunch my hair, and put on light makeup. I put my dirty clothes into my suitcase, an walk out to see Shawn sitting at the counter.

"Goooood Morning, Shawn!" I exclaim, pulling out the chair next to him.

"Good morning Alise!" He says, with a smile.

"For the record, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you last night, you could have just pushed me off." I say.

"I fell asleep too, but even if I didn't, I wouldn't push you off. You looked so peaceful."

"You hungry?" I ask, changing subjects.

"Yeah, Mendes is hungry." He says. I laugh and nod, and get up to see what mom bought when she did a small grocery store run. Let's see.... Eggs, bread, cereal, milk, toaster waffles....

"Wellllll, I was gonna fix muffin boy muffins, but she didn't get muffin mix...." I trail off.

"What?! You would actually do that?! Like actually fix muffin boy muffins?!" He asks, acting like he 6.

"Yeah....?"

"Oh my gosh! You have reached level: Best Friend!" He exclaims, "Wait you are my best friend.... Right?" He asks, seriously.

"Only if you'll let me be your best friend." I say. He smiles.

"Well then best friend... What are we gonna fix for breakfast?"

"No idea, cause I don't want waffles, or eggs... So cereal?" I ask.

"Nah..." He says.

"Well....." I trail off.

"C'mon. Let's go get muffins downstairs." He says. This boy. 😂 so I slide on my sandals and he opens the door for me.

"M'lady." He says, in a posh accent. We take the elevator down, and walk into the little Starbucks like cafe.

"Welcome to agora, what can I get you two?" The nice old lady, asks.

"Can I get a poppy seed muffin, and a mango iced tea?" I ask. She nods, and puts it on a receipt, then turned her attention to Shawn.

"Uhm, a chocolate chip muffin and a house coffee?" She nods again.

"That'll be $8.75." She smiles, as I pull a 10$ out of my wristlet.

"N-n-no. I'm paying." Shawn says, pushing my hand away.

"No. I am." I say.

"No, I'm the man, I'm paying for the lady." He says, handing her the money. I just roll my eyes, putting my money back in my wristlet, defeated.

"Awe, you two are a cute couple." She says, handing us a brown paper bag and our drinks.

"Oh, no. We're not a couple." I correct.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed." She smiles. "But y'all would be cute." She says.

"Thanks." I smile.

"Have a good day." She smiles back.

"You too." I say. We begin to walk back to the elevator, when a girl stops us.

"Hi, I don't want to bother you guys, but could I take a picture with you?" She asks.

"Sure, honey." Shawn says.

"You want me to take the picture?" I offer

"No, I want you in the picture with us." The girl smiles. Oh. She hands her phone to her mom, I assume, and Shawn get on one side, and I on the other, and we take a smiling photo. "Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this meant to me!" She says, hugging Shawn again. I snap a quick photo of it. "And Alise," she starts, hugging me, "you're so gorgeous and such an inspiration." Inspiration? Really? She waves us a goodbye, and we head back up to the room.
