Roses ~ Shawn Mendes Story

chapter 3

~•mia's pov•~
I wake up at 9 o'clock by the sound of an alarm bell. I have 3 hours to go now because the meeting with Andrew and Shawn will be at 12.

I stand up and go into the bathroom. I wear my hair open and put on some mascara. Usually I don't put on much makeup only in very special occasions.

I go through my clothes and find the things I was looking for. I pick my black suede skirt and a white blouse with long sleeves. Then I put on some gray socks and my favorite shoes, my doc martens, which have flowers an them. Last but not least I grab my black pocket. I quickly look at my ring on my finger. It's a thin golden ring which is formed like a leaf around my finger. Since my mother died I'm wearing this ring because it belonged to her.

[this is how Mia more or less looked like]

At 10.45 I leave the hotel. I didn't have breakfast yet so I decide to look for a Starbucks.

When I find one it's already 11.15 so i decide to just buy a coffee and take it away.

I walk in to Starbucks while looking on my phone because my grandmother wished me good luck, when I suddenly bump into a person. My pocket falls on the ground and everything burst out of my pocket. As clumsy as I am I would have fallen too but two strong arms are holding me.

When I realize that I was laying in some guys arms I stand up straight and look into a pair of blue friendly eyes which are eyeballing me.

"I'm so so sorry! I didn't see you.", I say and blush. The guy with a beanie on his head gives me a smile. I begin to pack my things into my pocket again. "No, no it was my fault I was looking behind me so I didn't see you coming. Let me help you", the guy says and helps me to get all my thing inside my pocket.

He reaches out for my hand. I shake it and he says: "My name is Jason, nice to meet you."
"I'm Mia." I smile at him.
"Let me buy you a coffee to make up my imprudence" he offers.

We walk over to the counter and order our coffees. Jason and I sit down and we talk for a bit and drink our coffees He's a very friendly guy and also very good looking with his sandy blond hair, blue eyes and cute smile. Since we
started talking, I think we both know that we are going to be good friends.

[this is Jason]

"So do you live here? I think I never saw you in this area.", he asks.
"No, I'm canadian but I live in Dublin. I'm here for a meeting for a new job."
"That's nice what are you working?"
"I'm a stylist. But I work on being a designer. And what about you?" I ask back.
"I'm currently working as an architect. I am fascinated of buildings you know. Just as you are with clothes I am in love with buildings" He gives me a dreamy smile.
"Wow, that's pretty cool!"
"And do you have some hobbies?" Jason asks me.
"I love everything that has to do with clothes obviously. But I also really like take photos and I play the guitar. In the past I also did some dancing but I don't have time for that now."

Then I looked on my phone: 11.50! Shit! I have to be at the meeting in 10 minutes. I won't make it. I must have had a worried look on my face because Jason asks if something is wrong. I told him that I have to be at the meeting in 10 min and that I have to walk there.
"I can drive you if you want", he offers.
"That would be so nice! Thank you so much! Now I am the one who owes you a coffee" We both laugh.

As we get in the car he drives me as fast as it's possible to the place where the meeting is hold. We quickly exchange our phone numbers. I thank him one more time and he drives away.

11.56. I sigh. Good I'm in time.
I walk inside the big building and wait until I get called to go inside the meeting room.

"Mia Clark?"
"Yes, that's me" I answer the secretary.
"Please follow me"
I stand up take a deep breath and follow the lady. Let's face it...
