Roses ➳ Shawn Mendes [2] ✓

Chapter 26

| Blake |

He still wasn't sure how Eva did, yet she managed to make him call Shawn and know what he needed. She was so good at arguing Blake couldn't help but give up after a while. It didn't matter what he said, Eva was right when she told him he would feel better after the call. Eva and he had decided to meet up that day and spend the day watching The Lord of the Rings seeing that both were feeling lazy and Signe wasn't home. She had gone out with Maddie, Milo and Alex to somewhere - he hadn't paid attention to what she said, he was more focused on the way Alex was staring at her - and show them around. Once Eva arrived at his apartment, he immediately began confessing what he felt about Alex and Signe and how he couldn't see her with anyone else but Shawn. He wasn't still sure how he had gotten so comfortable next to the girl, he just knew ever since he met her, Eva had been the person he vented to about everything and unlike he thought it would happen eventually, the girl didn't appear to get tired of listening to him. Instead, she would encourage him to do it more often.

"You're feeling better now?" Eva questioned him with a smile which was breathtaking. That day the girl was wearing a simple t-shirt with a small unicorn on the right side of her chest, some blue jeans and white snickers and her hair was tied up in two buns, one in each side of her head.

"Yes, I am." Blake admitted as he watched Eva's smile grew bigger. Could she even be cuter? He wondered whilst trying to avoid a grin. "What?"

"I told you so!" She exclaimed laughing. Blake rolled his eyes at the girl, thinking at the same time of how they had met. It had been different, that was for sure, yet he couldn't think of another way that could have been so perfect. "So, what are we going to do about Signe?"

"Can we not talk about her for a change? I love her a lot, but my life is much more than her." Blake retorted, his hand reaching for hers. Her skin was soft against his, her hands smaller comparatively to his, his thumb caressing it fondly.

"Sure! What else do you wanna talk about?"

"Jeez, you made it sound like we've got nothing else to talk." The blond boy joked with a chuckle, his blue eyes locking with her green ones. "Do you remember how we met?"

"How could I forget? I got covered in flour in case you didn't notice!" Eva reminded as she leaned slightly forward pressing a button of remote of the tv by accident with her knee considering she was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed that caused the movie to play again, instead of being paused. She clicked on it again, letting a curse escape her lips.

Blake observed her for a few seconds, trying to understand what he felt exactly for the girl. He would always wake up happy when he had to work seeing that the two would be together and see each other while working. She was the only person he ever vented too freely and wasn't afraid of doing it again. The boy was much happier around her and that could be a sign of how in love with that girl he was. Sure, Eva wasn't perfect, yet neither was Signe or any other girl in the world. However, in Eva's imperfections, he found perfection. He never believed soulmates were for him, he only limited to watch the others finding their other half, like Shawn and Signe, found each other. Blake had to admit he envied them, they appeared to live in their own world sometimes, only seeing one another and he wanted that for him as well. Perhaps with Eva that could happen.

"Blake?" She called out bringing him back from his thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"You're staring at me." She said, her cheeks getting redder.

"Can you blame me?" He inquired as he brought her hand closer to his lips and kissed it. "You're so gorgeous."
