Roses ~ Shawn Mendes Story

chapter 23

~•Mia's pov•~
It's evening and I'm in the kitchen cooking some pasta for dinner.

It's been a week since I met Shawn in the park. I've met him another time since then. We've talked normally. I think it's going to be normal between us to. Well. I hope so.

Just when I'm chopping some mushrooms, I hear something hit the window. Did something hit it or do I just visualise it? I wait for some seconds, but I don't hear it again. Weird.

I continue chopping the mushrooms, when I hear it again. Pleng! Okay that weird. I walk over to the window, open it and look out. [Imagine the kitchen is on the first floor not the ground floor; so Mia is looking down].
I can't believe what I'm seeing there! Shawn is standing there with a guitar in his hands.
"Shawn, what are you doing here?" I have to say I'm quite surprised.
"I have to say something to you. Please listen."
Shawn begins to strum his guitar. Then he begins to sing. It's his song 'Roses'.

It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her...

His beautiful voice sounding through the darkness making me shiver. I want to last this moment forever. I smile fron happyness and when he sees it he smiles also.

And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose and I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
Die or let it go?

With this question he finishes the song. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I don't say a word, close the window and run down stairs. As I open the door, Shawn is kneeling down with roses in his hand.
"Die or let it grow?" He asks with a big smile on his face.

I'm in tears right now. He performed his song only for me and now he's kneeling in front of me with roses in his hands.
"Let it grow." I whisper because I'm scared my voice would have cracked if I would have said it out loud.

Shawn stands up hands me the roses. He steps closer and leans down. His lips softly touch mine. How much I missed his touch.
"I love you honey and I will never let you go! And I will never hurt you!" He whispers against my lips.
"I love you too, Shawn." I whisper back.
His hands move to my lower back as the kiss deepens. And my hands move to his neck and then I feel through his fluffy soft hair.

Then a thought hits me. The pasta! I was cooking pasta!
"Shawn! I forgot the pasta I'm cooking!" I say out of breath from the intense kiss.
"Do you want to stay and eat with me?"
"Sure! Why would I let go of you now that I have you back." He smirks.

I lead him into my house. I realize he has never seen it.

We walk into the kitchen. I look for the pasta. Fortunately they are good now and not too long cooked.

I showed Shawn the house and we had a lovely dinner. He also stayed the night ;)

Isn't this cute?! Imagine Shawn singing for you... and he buying you roses...
