Texting / Shawn Mendes

Soon.

A knock on my door made me jump a little. I was lying in bed watching tv in the dark and that's because I've been in the same spot for hours and I'm too lazy to get up and turn the lights on.

I decided to ignore it and hopefuly whoever it is will leave me alone. But there is another knock on my door and a text on my phone. Suddenly, I feel like I'm in an episode of Pretty Little Liars.

It's Shawn.

I got up from the bed with a groan and opened the door.

"Why are you sitting in the dark?" He looked at me confused.

"I'm talking with the spirits." I replied and rolled my eyes at him. He got in and placed his lips on top of mine and pushed the door with his foot to close, his lips never leave mine. I made a step back and remove my lips from his. He looked at me confused but he smiled as soon as I smiled at him.

"Is there a reason behind your visit or you just can't stay away from me?" I said foolishly and sit back on the bed.

"Actually, both. Put some clothes on. We're going out."

I looked at myself. I was wearing a black sweatshirt that was too big for me and fell just above my knees and Shawn stared at it as well. I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Nice shirt."

"It's yours."

"Looks better on you though."

"Thanks." I feel my cheeks heating up.

"Where are we going?"

"Well, you'll see."

"You know that I'm not a big fan of surprises."

"Yeah but I promise you'll like this one."

"I'm starving by the way. I hope your surprise involves food." I chuckled.

"It does."

"What should I wear?"

"Oh please wear that black dress that I love."

"The one that I was wearing when we first met? The one with the small flowers at the end?"

"Yeah that one."

"Okay wait."

I found it and walked to the washroom. I changed and looked at my reflection. I let my hair down and put on some mascara and walked back to Shawn.

His eyes meet me and a smile spreads on his face.

"Beautiful."

"Thanks."

He took my hand and lead me to the elevator.

"What time is it?"

"Probably 10."

"We can still stay at my room and get out later. The streets will be filled right now. We shouldn't risk it." I said trying to make him think reasonably. Going out right now it's a risk. People will recognize him immediately and that will probably attract a lot of attention.

"It will be fine." He smiled at me, trying to calm me down since I was getting extremely nervous.

A minute passed by before his hands wrapped around me and a small kiss was placed on my head. I could smell his cologne as I was resting my head on his chest.

"Is that what you want?" He asked.

"I think it's for the best." I replied barely moving.

"Okay let's go back then."

I made a few steps back and looked at him.

"What do you want?"

His eyes was emotionless and it made me upset.

"I...I don't know. I was really looking forward to this. You know, us going out and having a good time together. I swear I would give anything just to go out there and not worry about been seen together. Just you and me, talking, laughing with our lame jokes and just enjoying the little things. Is what am I asking too much?" In between his words the elevator doors opened and I quickly pushed the button for the highest level.

"No no Shawn...look at me please." His eyes never left the ground and I made steps closer to him and intertwined our fingers.

"Soon, okay?"

He looked at me and smiled.

"Soon." He repeated.
