Texting / Shawn Mendes

Ed Sheeran

Shawn came over and my mum made us her homemade soup. We were having a movie marathon. We have already watched Iron Man 1 and we are currently watching the second movie. Everything was going smoothly until I decided to check my instagram.

Well, I'm not a big fan of social media and I really don't use any of these worldwide known apps but I like to check them once in a while just to stay updated.

As soon as Shawn realized what I was about to do, he took my phone away.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused.

"I'm bored" he simply stated, still holding my phone.

"Okay?"

"Let's go out"

"We can't?"

"Why not?"

"Really Shawn?"

"Let's go and grab some coffee. I know a place we can go."

"Let me change" I said and I quickly picked clothes from my closet.

Ten minutes later Shawn was driving outside the city and I was so amazed to the idea of being away from my routine just for a split second.

I am looking aroung as he is driving through an old road. The sun can hardly be seen through the thick branches which cover the beautiful view of the cloudless sky.

I am smiling at the view. It's so beautiful here. The road is quite since no cars can be found but it's bumpy as well.
Shawn is focused on the road so I have the chance to look at him. He's slightly smiling and his sunglasses are covering his hazel eyes. He's so handsome... His muscular arms are stretched as he's holding the steering wheel. I turn the radio on and Shawn turns to me smiling.

Unfortunately the radio is unable to function properly so he suggests to use on of his CDs.

I pick one and push the play button. Ed's voice fills the car and we are both crooning the song, and exchanging glances.

Shawn parked and he gets out of the car first. I hop out of the car minutes later and the view is truly breathtaking. We are on top of a cliff on which you can see the whole city. The sun is about to fall so we sit down and we are waiting. The evening breeze is blowing my hair back making me slightly shiver. He turns to me and smiles.

"Let me bring you my jacket. I always keep one in the car for emergencies" he chuckled. I giggle and he joggs to the car and back to me. He puts the jacket on my shoulders, covering my back and I thank him.

I can feel Shawn staring at me, making me feel uncomfortable.

"I need to tell you something Malia"

"Shoot it" I casually say, hiding the fact that I'm a little bit scared of what he's going to tell me next.

"I'm flying back to L.A. tomorrow..."

"You do?" and I kept my eyes away from him. Facing him will make it even harder.

"Yeah" he replied with a sad voice.

There is an awkward silence before he speaks again.

"I'll be back soon."

"I know."

"I just need to take care of something"

"Okay"

"Are you mad?"

"Should I be?"

"I.. I don't know" he says looking away from me.

"It's your job. I understand."

"Yeah... You always do. That's what makes you so special"

I look at him and smile.

"You know just what to say to make me blush, don't you?"

"It's a gift and a curse" he said and chuckled. He handed me my coffee and I thanked him.

The sun is falling and I take my phone out of my pocket and take a picture of this amazing view.

I turn the camera to him and I take a picture of him smiling as the sun is going down right behind him.

"It's so pretty here. How did you find this place?"

"Well, I wanted to go somewhere away from the city's buzz and a friend of mine suggested me to come here."

"I'm happy to be here with you right now."

"Me too"

His face finally turnes to me and he is staring at my lips. I can feel my heart beating like crazy and I have butterflies in my stomach. His face comes closer to mine and he closes his eyes. Before I can even process what is happening, his lips are gently kissing mine. I can feel the warmth of his lips and I shut my eyes closed. I can now feel the whole zoo in my stomach. My mind is running through conclusions that I'm unable to handle. My hands are awkwardly in the air near his chest from his sudden actions. What is happening?
It... It doesn't feel right...

10 seconds later, he slowly removes his lips from mine.

He is looking at me worried. I think he is scared of my response. I just stare at him... I don't know what to do or say. What am I even supposed to do? I don't know if I have feelings for him that are powerful enough in order to last... I don't wanna ruin what we have... I hate to admit it but he means so much to me... His hazel eyes looking deep in mine but I'm still speechless. Why did he do this? Why did he kiss me? How could he even develop feelings for me since he barely knows me. I think...

"Please say something" he says looking down to his hands.

"I..I don't know what to say." I reply honestly.

He looks disappointed. What am I supposed to do now?

"We are moving way too fast, Shawn... I don't want what to have to change. I... I can't..."

"You're right" he interrupted me and he stands up.

"Where are you going?"

"Don't you wanna leave?"

"Can we please stay?"

"Sure" he says and he sits down right next to me.

We are both looking at the lights of the city. I turn to him but he isn't look back at me. I rest my head on his shoulder. It is pitch dark now...
The full moon shone over the city making the view even more beautiful if that's even possible. The gentle breeze blows my hair away from my face, making me slightly shiver. Shawn puts his arm around me and he brings me closer to his body. My head is still resting on his shoulder and he puts his head over mine.

We are looking at the city enjoying the view and despite the fact that everything seems perfect, a question is running through my mind...
Is everything truly fine?

Maybe it's just me... Maybe my mind is tricking me, trying to add even more worries to me.
But...
