"Mom?" My 9 year old daughter Rachael calls as she is eating her lunch and I am washing the dishes.
"Yes sweetheart?" I respond.
"How did you and dad meet?" She asked with a bite of her pasta still in her mouth.
"Why are you asking just right now?" I say as I turn off the faucet and dry my hands.
"Well, in the library i noticed there was a full isle of love stories to choose from. For Example, Fault in Our Stars, Romeo and Juliet, Twilight, and so much more but, I got to thinking how many different love stories are there?" I laughed at her curious mind, just like Shawn's. "So, I was just curious about your's and Dad's. Are they similar like the ones in the books?"
"Unfortunately I did not have no Prince Charming or Handsome Vampire to come rescue me, but i did have your dad." I smile looking back at the memories.
"How did your love story start?" She asks chugging down her iced lemonade.
"Well.... Here is how it went....."
• August 8, 2015 • (Flashback)
I was only 17 when I had to work as a barista at this little cafe to support my family.
But good thing the owners of the diners were nice enough to cope with my school schedule since they understand I was a working student.
One night when it was just me taking a night shift when a young 17 year old teenager walked into the café heading over to the little bar stools. I noticed his face, Shawn Mendes. The most popular boy at Pine Ridge Secondary School.
"Hello welcome to Café Stone." I said cheerfully yet nervously.
"Yeah I'll take a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip muffin." He said keeping his head down.
"Coming right up." I began to make the hot chocolate when I heard his raspy voice again.
"Don't you go to Pine Ridge?" He asks.
I turn to him. "Yeah I actually do."
"So you know me?" He says.
"Of course, your the popular Shawn Mendes." I say turning back to the full cup of hot chocolate. Grabbing the whipped cream his voice appears again.
"And you are?"
"I don't think that's really important right now." I laugh.
I set the hot chocolate down and grab a muffin from the heated glass display and place it in front of him.
He looks up and I could tell he had been crying.
"Well I need to know who made my favorite snack." He smiled. Those beautiful white teeth flashed.
"Madilyn Rose." I say almost like a whisper.
"Can I call you Maddie?" He asks. I nod. "So what are you doing here, late at night here in this Café?" He asks.
"I should be asking you the same question."
"Well, I had gotten in a fight with my girlfriend." He says with no emotion in his face.
"Oh." I say awkwardly.
"Now that I answered your question you can answer mine."
"Well, I take night shifts here to support my family." I admit.
His facial features are shocked. "Wow, at age 17, that must be pretty rough."
"Well I will do anything for my family." I smile.
"I admire that." We laughed.
That whole night we spent talking to each other for over an hour until OT was time for me to close up.
"So how do you get home?" He asks while I lock the place up.
"Ummm... I walk or take the bus."
"At 12:00 at night that's dangerous. Especially if there's a gorgeous young girl walking by herself." I blushed and looked down. "Let me drive you home." He offered.
"No Shawn, I am really fine."
"No I insist. If something bad happened to you i would never forgive myself." This boy kills me with his smiles.
"Okay fine."
We got into his car and he asked for my address.
The whole drive we were basically talking and laughing. And I learned that we live in the same neighborhood.
"Here we are." He pulls up to my house.
"Thank you Shawn." I reply blushing.
As I get out of his car he says one last thing to me. "Now that I know where you live, I'll pick you up at 8 am for school." He winked at me before pulling away.
"Wait! Shawn no!" I practically yelled at midnight.
"Bye Beautiful!" He yelled while driving away.
This boy.
• Present Day •
"Thats all?" Rachael asked sounding disappointed.
"No, its just that you wouldn't understand the rest until your older." I explained.
"So what age do I have to turn when you are gonna tell me the next part?" She asked.
"Maybe about 13." I say.
Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "That long?!" She asked impatiently.
"Yes. Now go get out of here and i'll clean up." She sighed an okay before leaving.
(That night)
Shawn and I were currently in bed laying down watching a movie.
"Shawn honey." I say catching his attention.
"Yes baby?" He asks pulling me closer to him.
"Rachael asked about our love story today."
He turned to me. "Did you tell her everything?" He asked worried.
"No I told her the beginning only."
"Which part did you end it at?" He asks.
"The part when you yelled, "Bye Beautiful!" He laughed.
"Good. Did she ask about the rest?"
"I told her to wait until she is 13 and then we will tell her the rest." I smile turning off the lamp lights and the T.V.
"Okay, well until then, goodnight beautiful." He kissed my forehead before wrapping his arms around me.
"Night Handsome." I kissed his cheek and dozes off into his chest.
