Roses ➳ Shawn Mendes [2] ✓

Chapter 35

Signe was feeling good, she had started to record her first album and honestly, she was loving her job so far. The business wasn't entirely about music, yet that was the part she clearly loved the best. The ginger had also been seeing new apartments to stay in and even though Blake told her countlessly to not do it, to stay a little longer, she kept on looking. It was time she became more independent or she would have always to rely on people to get her back. Sure it was a great feeling to know whenever you fall someone will catch you and hold you tight, yet sometimes, it is also important to fall and get up by yourself and you always find yourself finding someone to hold on to.

Currently, she was Facetiming with her boyfriend who had found some little time to talk with her and know what was going on with her life. Last time they had been together was at his birthday party when he turned 19 back in August. The party was a blast and spending a little time together had been just what she wanted.

"Babe c'mon, let me just listen to a sneak peek! I'm so curious as to what you are recording!" The boy begged at the same time he pouted. Signe giggled and shook her head.

"No!"

"I hate you!" He stuck his tongue out like a little kid and lied on the bed while the ginger rolled her green eyes at him.

"Babe, you wanted to tell me something right?" Shawn asked as he tried to find a comfortable position to stay in while talking to her on the phone.

"Yeah! I'm moving out of Blake's apartment." She declared with pride. It might not seem like a big deal, yet for the ginger, it was definitely something big. She didn't know what it was to live alone and it would be interesting to find out.

"Oh! Where are you going to then?" Shawn questioned curiously, his eyes glistening with light.

"Well, I found a little apartment. It's nice and cozy, needs some renovation but nothing too major." Signe told him as she shifted on the couch. Eva was going to move in with Blake, although it was too early, however her situation with her parents wasn't that good and she wanted to escape that. Blake was going to give her help and give her a home.

"Signe, why don't you move in with me?" Her boyfriend inquired. He scratched the back of his neck, his eyes weren't on her and his cheeks were getting redder than the usual.

"Then I'll still be dependent on people. I wanna learn how to be on my own." She replied with a sigh. The idea of moving in with him was a very appealing idea, there was no denying it which complicated things.

"I won't be home for months, so technically you'll be on your own." Shawn argued. He smirked at her, already knowing he had won her over. He bit his lower lip as he waited for her answer.

"You won't take a no for an answer will you?" Signe responded as he rose an eyebrow. He shook his head, blowing her a kiss, his caramel brown eyes mirroring the happiness he was feeling inside.

"I don't need to answer that, do I?"

"Can you guys, like flirt when I'm not here?" Blake questioned as he showed up from his room and walked towards the kitchen.

"You are the one who got fired from your job because you can't keep your mouth shut and stays all the time at home." The girl riposted with a chuckled, earning a scoff from Blake and an adorable laugh from her boyfriend. 

"Don't forget you're in my apartment!"

"Don't worry, it won't be for too long!"

"Thank God! I was blessed!"

"Guys! I'm still here!" Shawn laughed bringing the ginger's attention back to him. He smiled sweetly at her and spoke again."So, are you moving in with me?"

"Yes Mendes, I am." She smiled back at him, excited with the idea of moving in with him. Years ago it never crossed her mind that in the future she would be dating her best friend and consequently living under the same roof as him, yet she was glad it was happening.

"I'll talk with my mom, she has the spare keys!" He claimed joyfully. They smiled widely at each other, both annoyed and sad that they could only see each other through a screen and miles of distance between them. Some days the distance was unbearable, all she wanted was his arms wrapped around her body, cuddles and talk about their day, other days it was bearable. Just the sight of seeing Shawn having the time of his life, enjoying himself and make others happy made her happy as well. Relationships like that had it hard days, however, it was all worth it in the end. "By the way, I wrote another song for you!"

"Oh my God! Shawn! Another one?" Signe wasn't exactly sure how to react. It amazed her, how full of love Shawn was and how much he loved her and was constantly showing it off nonstop. It had become a thing tearing up when listening to Shawn's interviews when asked about her.

"As if most of my other songs weren't thinking about you." He retorted, taking a hand to his hair to fix it.

"It's different. They weren't specifically for me." The girl argued.

"Whatever you say. You'll listen to it soon." Shawn confessed sending her a wink. She sighed in content, unable to take her eyes off him. 

"I'll write a song too, once I'm free from you two!" Blake shouted as he walked away from the kitchen towards his room, a plate full of food on his hands. How did Eva put up with him? Jesus that woman's patience must be infinite Signe thought as she watched blond boy disappear in the hallway. 

"You see? This is the reason why I wanna move!" Signe joked earning a 'I heard that!' from her friend who was either eating in his room or hidden in the hallway listening to what the girl was saying. She preferred the first.

"If I were you I'd get out of there as soon as I could." He chuckled and then yawned. He rubbed his eyes, clearly trying to battle his tiredness and the ginger giggled.

"Babe, you're tired. Go to sleep." 

"Nah, I'm good." Shawn said, his eyes focused on her. Signe was glad she had forgiven him, having him by her side was a blessing and she was proud to call him her best friend and boyfriend. 

"Shawn you need to rest." The ginger said softly at the same time her boyfriend yawned again. 

"But-"

"You are the one boy /and you know that it's true /I'm feeling younger / Every time that I'm alone with you / We were sitting in a parked car /Stealing kisses in the front yard /We got questions we should not ask but/ How would you feel, if I told you I loved you? /It's just something that I want to do /I'll be taking my time, spending my life /Falling deeper in love with you /So tell me that you love me too." The girl began singing sweetly and soft in hopes Shawn would fall asleep soon and rest. She watched him observing her, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier as she sang to him, his battle getting harder until he finally fell asleep. Signe screenshoted that moment, unable to not do it. A smile on her face as she wished him a good night and hung up. 

Maybe life was just now truly smiling at her and Signe felt good about it, she crossed her fingers and hoped there was nothing else to bring her down in the future.
