Camila's POV I woke up along with the sun, it was an incredibly beautiful day. The sky was a dazzling blue and the clouds looked like floating cotton candy kingdoms. There was an undeniable spring in my step as I got up to open the windows of my room, which I rarely get to do living in Pickering. Slipping out of my pyjamas I threw on a white romper and tied my hair back into a quick ponytail.

The peace and quiet was briefly interrupted by a text message from Shawn. After the time we spent together I unblocked him, he was honestly so sweet last night and I was still having trouble believing he was real.
Shawn (: Good morning! How are you, did you sleep well? x
Me Good morning Mendes, I'm good and surprisingly slept like a baby. That's crazy because I usually spend hours on tumblr and don't get much sleep. :)
Shawn (: Wow, our talk must've tired you out. I bet I bored you to sleep haha!
Me That's EXACTLY what happened!! How did you read my mind?!
Shawn (: What can I say, I'm a wizard. ;)
At that I chuckled softly, for once life was actually going well for me.
Shawn (: So, I was wondering if you'd want to meet up again? I could pick you up at 12:30 and we could grab a coffee? x :)
Me That would be awesome, I'm buying tho. I owe you. x
Shawn (: I'm tempted to argue but I do want to meet up and I know you won't go if you don't pay for it! But, I wanted to say that you don't owe me a single penny. x
I smiled so widely that I was pretty sure my mouth could no longer move from that position. God, this boy had me going crazy.
I grabbed a jacket and put on some light makeup to cover any imperfections. Quickly I jogged downstairs and into the kitchen where I had some pancakes. I apologise but "had" is an understatement. I devoured a plate of pancakes with strawberries and powdered sugar. I flicked through some TV channels and yawned loudly enjoying the fact that my "parents" were away.
My phone buzzed once more.
Shawn (: I'm at your house, see you in a sec. :)
Butterflies erupted in the pit of my stomach and all of a sudden I doubted my outfit choice, wanted to put more makeup on and needed desperately to go to the bathroom. I wanted to hide where no one could find me, my anxiety was taking control.
Taking deep breaths I headed towards the door. Before I could open it I heard a quiet knock from the other side. I opened the door to come face to face with a blushing Shawn Mendes.
Shawn's POV "Erm, uhh..." I said completely taken aback by Camila's sudden appearance right in front of me.
She looked so beautiful and clearly didn't know it. She pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and looked down at her feet. "Oh, uh, I didn't know whether or not to, um, wait in my car so I, uh, decided to come here instead." I blurted sounding like a complete idiot.
I wished at that moment that I would stop being such a dork and say a clear and coherent sentence for once but Camila had me going insane. Her inner and outer beauty had my thoughts circling around in my brain leaving me unsure of what to do or say. "It's okay, let's go get that coffee." Camila replied rather flustered herself.
We walked to my Jeep and sat down, I started up the car and drove straight to the nearest coffee shop.
Narrator The coffee shop had a rustic air about it, there were flowers on the window sills and inside many booths with wooden tables covered by bright red and white checkered cloths. The smell of freshly baked bread invaded their senses and awakened abruptly the hunger inside them. Stomachs growling, they sat down at a booth by a window.
"The other day, when we talked at Tim Hortons, before I sat down with you I saw that you were writing in a little black notebook," said Camila in an attempt to break the ice, "you looked extremely concentrated, what were you up to?"
Shawn lowered his head in nervousness and embarrassment and replied softly, "I write songs."
Camila was in shock, had she really found the sensitive boy underneath his shell?
"Maybe you could show me one day," she said hesitantly, "if you want to, I mean, if you don't that's totally fine."
It was Shawn's turn to be surprised. "Yeah, that would be really nice." he said with a little more confidence than before.
Camila smiled at him and wondered what he could have possibly written about and what his voice would sound like. They ordered drinks, Camila a coffee and Shawn a green tea.
While waiting for the drinks Camila said, "Sing me something, anything."
"Hm, okay." replied Shawn with a laugh.
Camila's POV It was in that moment that Shawn started to sing. He sang a tiny bit of Hometown Glory by Adele and honest to God, the coffee shop went quiet. All I could hear was his voice, sweet and smooth, like honey. This boy could truly sing. I joined in.

Hello lovely people, Hope you're all having a great day!! Shawn and Mila sang together for the first time and I'm shook. This was a bit of a filler but drama is indeed heading their way... ;) —I
