A friendship with Shawn Mendes

Chapter 13

Victoria's POV:
After school school me and Shawn ended up sitting at a park on a park bench in Pickering and chatting about everything possible like school, life, friends, etc. We could talk about nothing and we would still have a blast. Though, I had something important I needed to tell him that I myself find out this morning.

"So, you know how I've been dying to get into Yale?" I said tying to point at where I was going with this conversation.

"Yeaaah?" He said with excitement and totally got my vibe about what I was trying to say.

"I got an mail from them today and they told me that I got in!"

"Oh my god! That's amazing Victoria!!"

He give me a big hug by being happy for me and while pulling away for the hug the space between our lips happened to be about an inch away for each other and Shawn unexpectedly
started to lean in. Even though I can admit that I wouldn't mind to kiss him right now, I just couldn't do it and I pulled away.

"I'm sorry Shawn..." I said looking down at the ground.

"No don't be, it's my fault and it's me that got carried away. It's stupid of me thinking that we could be more than friends."

I admit that I may have been starting to like Shawn and that he have been doing so good with bringing my mood up whenever it got down because of the Noel-drama, but my experience of my last relationship left me no good. Getting attached to someone in that way again scared the shit out me.

"No, you're not stupid, it just-" I tried to explain but got interrupted by Shawn.

"You don't have to explain. I get it, your last relationship with Noel have scared you and by getting in a new one with your best friend may not be the best resolution."

I gave him a smile by showing him that I appreciate his understanding and in some way we managed to head back to our previous conversation.

***
After me and Shawn talking in the park I met up with Kylie at the mall, usually we would be shopping at the city instead but we went to the mall because of the bad weather. We were trying on new autumn clothes that would be pretty necessarily for us to get since the summer was almost over. We loved spending time together shopping because it would always make us feel so relaxed.

"So how have you been doing lately, how does it feel to finally be free from Noel?" She asked.

"Actually, I've never been better and I'm really enjoying being single." I answered confidently.

"You do?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah I do, what's so weird with that?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking out loud."

I looked like a question mark and now I was really confused.

"It's just you and Shawn... You know, you both obviously like each other and-"

"Kylie, I have promised myself to stay away from guys for a while so please respect that."

"Whatever, I already know that won't last for a long time." She rolled her eyes.

***
I was at home in my living room watching Netflix and it was still raining outside. I could hear the rain pouring down heavily. In Pickering it would always rain a lot when autumn was coming. My parents wasn't home so I took the opportunity and had the living room for myself. I crawled under some blankets and watched my favorite tv-series, I was currently watching 'the 100' which I really liked. I watched a few episodes and in the middle of one of them a heard a knock on the door. I put the episode on pause, walked to the door and opened it.

Surprisingly there he was standing outside of my door with his soaked jacked and clothes clinging to his body dripping of water while his brown hair was slicked to his head.

"Why are you soaking wet Shawn?" I asked him confused.

"I was just thinking and taking a walk and ended up here."

"In the rain?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Yeah."

We starred at each other for a while, mostly because myself I was confused and surprised by his appearance at my house this late.

"So... Are you coming inside or are you enjoying the rain that much..?" I joked but honestly I didn't have an idea of what he actually was up to.

He walked in with his wet body leaving small water drops on floor and he took of his jacket. He put his hand in his wet hair and run his fingers through it out while letting a small sight out.

"I've been thinking about our 'almost kiss' earlier and please, just give me a chance. I promise I'll never ever hurt you Victoria." He said looking at me in the eyes. I could sense this already becoming interesting.

"I know that you're scared because of your last relationship, but that doesn't mean that this have to turn out to be the same way, I would have never hurt you. You may also think that being with Noel only caused bad things to happen, which I thought as well, but I've realized that it may be false. It made me realize that I've never ever cared for someone that much in my entire life than I care for you and also that we're meant to be together. By only watching the way we look at each other you can clearly see that we were never 'only friends'. And you know what? You're not the only one being scared by something here because so am I. You don't know how much courage it takes me to say all these words to you. We're meant to be together and as cliche it may sound I'm scared of the both of us realizing it when it's to late. And I'm wishing so bad that you will say something right now because I can go on the whole night talking about how much we're meant to be together. Though, I'm pretty sure that it will turn from a pretty decent speech to something completely shitty and-"

"I like your rumbling but please just kiss me already."

He pulled me closer, grabbed my face with both of his hands, pressed his lips on to mine and for that moment everything but us disappeared, my only focus was on him. I've been kissed before but the way I got lost by this kiss made not only my stomach but my whole body flip.
