Texting / Shawn Mendes

today is the day.

I rushed down the stairs and I found my mum watching TV. It's almost 4 p.m. and I'm exhausted since I couldn't sleep last night. I spend my night thinking about today and if I should go and finally see his face or stay home and regret that I didn't take my chance.

I have butterflies in my stomach since yesterday and I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen. I got my hair in a ponytail and sat next to my mom.
"Mom?"
"Yes sweety?" she replied still watching tv and holding a cup filled with black coffee.
"Is it okay if I miss dinner for tonight?"
"What for?" she asked and turned to me.
"I'll catch up with a friend at 6 p.m. and I'd probably not be back till 8 so.."

"It's okay. Have fun and text me all the details" she said and looked at me with a cheesy smile placed on her delicated face.
Me and my mom we are the exact opposite. She's always in a good mood, she loves gossiping and she's obsessed with her work. Me on the other side, I'm always moody and I hate gossip. The only thing that I can guarantee you that I'm obsessed with is my dog.

"It's not a date mom"
"Will see" she said laughing slightly.
"I'm going to get ready now. Where's dad?"
"He's on a meeting. He'll be back at 6 probably"
"Okay"
*1 hour later*

I've been ready for a while but I'm standing in front of the mirror just staring at my reflection. I wore a simple black dress and a jean jacket on top. I have some make-up on but I still feel insecure.
My phone buzzed and I quickly grabbed it from my bed.

Malia? Is it okay for today?

I blankly stare at my phone not sure what to say, something unusual for me since I'm spontaneous.

Malia?

Yeah it's fine. See you there.

Okay cool. See you there.

I quickly grabbed my keys and closed the door behind me. I need to go to the beach before going there. I need to let my mind relax and think clearly. Everything's going to be okay. Right?

I parked to a spot near by and I walked down the Woodbine beach. The weaves were crushing and they were a few people walking on the sand next to me. I sat on the sand and enjoyed the view of the sun reflecting on the crystal clear beach. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I unlock it.

I'm here.

On my way.

I locked my phone again and I jogged back to my car.

15 minutes later I got there.
My hands were shaking and I could feel my heart ticking like crazy.
I took a deep breathe and walked in. It was a small cafe and they were a few people sitting here and there. I'm looking around trying to figure out who he is and where he sits.

I can see a hazel haired boy sitting next to the window staring down his phone, making it hard for me to see his face. I look around once again and I realized that all the people in the cafe are on their early or late thirties.

I'm walking near the boy and my breathe becomes unstable. I'm now standing in front of him but he hasn't noticed me yet.

"H-hey" I said with a shaking voice.

Two hazel eyes look at me and a feeling of sadness dominates me.

"Malia? Is that you?"

I'm still looking deep in his eyes, without saying a word. My mouth opens in shock while I'm trying to process the current situation. It's him. It has always been him.

"I-I need a moment. " my voice still shaking from the shock.

And before he can even reply I storm outside the cafe. I'm walking fast but I don't even know where I'm going. He's calling my name but I ignore him. I trusted him. I shared my problems, thoughts, difficulties, doubts so many information about my life to him and he couldn't even tell me who he really is?

I'm really sorry for not uploading. I know it's been a while but here it is. Hope you enjoy.
