Dr.Mendes

chapter 8

"Coke is fine" said Shawn

You ordered what you ordered to drink every time you went out to eat.

"I'd like a strawberry lemonade" you said to the waitress.

Shawn looked at you, he didn't take his eyes off of you until you looked up. You could feel him looking at you.

"What?" You asked. "Nothing" he stuttered, he shook his head.

You smiled to yourself and looked at the menu.

You were those kind of girls that were nervous to eat in front of guys that you had feelings for. ( I'm one of them ) so you didn't want to order something that will get you dirty.

You settled on some barbecue chicken, green beans and some rice.

"So what are you studying in college?" Shawn broke the awkward silence which you were really happy about.

"I really want to be an ER doctor" you said. Shawn thought for a bit. "Why?" He asked. "I don't know tbh, I've had that dream since I was 11. Thanks to a tv show" you laughed.

Shawn grinned. He gave you another one of those looks. You could feel yourself blushing. He was blushing too.

Then the waitress came back. Sadly.

"Y'all ready to order?" She asked "yes." Shawn said, there was a weird tone in his voice.

He ordered first. Then you ordered. Blah blah blah, then the waitress took your menus.

Then asked Shawn asked "is there another reason for your career choice?" You thought for a bit. Then answered. " I want to save lives. I want to know what's it's like to put all your hard work into saving a patient and knowing at the end of your shift you saved someone's life. Sure theirs a lot of school to get there but I don't care. I know that I will love that job and I know it will be stressful but worth it."

You looked back at Shawn and giving you another one of those looks, with a smile on his face and looking at you like your the most prettiest angel he's seen.

You blushed. "Wow Maya. I didn't know that about you. Your such a genuine person." He said looking into your eyes.

"Thank you" you said looking down at your lap. "So what about you Mendes?" You asked.

"Well I became an adult doctor because when I was younger my uncle got very sick. And the doctor he saw, never saw anything wrong with him. He would feel worst every day," you could see it in his face he was sad, he didn't want to show it. "Until one day we lost him." Your heart dropped. You didn't know what to say so you just hugged him.

It was a very comforting, warm hug.
"I'm sorry shawn" you said softly.

"Its ok" is all he said. "Turns out he had lung cancer. He wasn't getting treated because of that stupid guy they call a doctor. So I became an adult doctor so that something like this wouldn't ever happen again."

"I'm proud of you" you said, holding his hand on the table. You guys had a good 10 seconds of intense eye contact. Until the stupid waitress had to come again.

Shawn fixed his facial expression and and looked at the waitress with a weak smile. You did the same.

She gave your and Shawns plate.
You were nervous to eat. Shawn noticed. "Are you hungry?" He asked you. "Yeah" you said "then eat" he said laughing.

"Here if it makes you less nervous I'll start eating first." You smiled at how nice he was. "Ok ok I'll eat" you said giggling.

After eating, and having an argument over who payed, shawn won.

He stood up, and stretched. Man he looked good, he has abs too , you could see them over his shirt. You stood up too, stretching as well.

"After you" he said, with the world's cutest smile. You blushed and said " thank you very much." You walked out of the resturant and Shawn walked you to his car and opened the door for you.

"Thanks" you said with a smile. "Your welcome" he said looking into your eyes, also smiling.

He got into the car and started it. "What do you listen to?" Shawn asked.

"Today's hits, pop, stuff like that." You said. "Why?" "Any specific artist?" He asked again. "Um well I listen to Ariana Grande a lot." You said puzzled.

"I love her too." He said. Surprised, you asked "really??" "Yep" he said, he started blushing, he was embarrassed.

"Don't feel embarrassed" you said, trying to hold in your laugh.

"Ok then" he said. And then he put on side to side. (Tgat shit my jam)

You were singing quietly in the drive back to your house. You heard him do the same. You just smiled. It was do cute.

He pulled up on your driveway. He then again got off the car and ran to your side and opened the door for you. You loved how much of a gentleman he was.

"Thank you for tonight" you said with a smile. "Of course, my pleasure." He said blushing and looking down at the floor.

He walked you to your front door. You stood with your back on the door, facing Shawn. You busy had another moment of intense eye contact.

You felt all tingly inside. He started blushing. So did you. You were low key embarrassed. "I had a good time." You said softly. "Same" he said. You looked at your  phone to check the time.

"Its getting late" you said. You looked up at shawn and yet again you saw him giving you one of those looks.

You blushed. " yeah it is, I'll see you in 2 weeks." He said, sounding kinda sad he had to leave.

You both waved goodbye and you walked into your house and he walked away. The first thing you see when you walk into your house is your roommate Ariana.

"OH MY GODDD" she said, practically screaming. "DID YOU SEE THE WAY HE LOOKED AT YOU??" She asked.

"Yes, I did." You said. "Your so lucky" she said to you.

"I know" drifting into space, daydreaming about him.
