Texting / Shawn Mendes

But...

Not edited.
------------------------

"Yes mom, no worries. Okay, okay I'll tell him when I see him. He's out with the guys. I don't know. I'm fine. Love you."
I end the call and put my phone on the bed next to me. I rest in bed for at least 10 minutes before getting up. I hate staying in anymore. I really hate hotels now.

I won't text him. I can go out by myself. I'd die for a cup of coffee right now.

I googled for the closest cafe and made my way out. I wore a hoodie along with my sunglasses. I don't know if those girls shared our picture on the media because I deleted my instagram account. I don't really know why. Maybe because I was so dependent on it. I would check it so many times in such a small period of time. I got mad at myself for being so obsessed with it so, I deleted it.

I was walking and looking around.
A girl screamed my name. I turned around. I have never seen her before in my lifetime. I stopped walking and she came closer.

"Is it actually you? Malia?" She asked excited.

"Yeah... do I know you? I'm really bad at remembering faces..." I tried to hide my awkwardness.

"No no. I saw the picture. With Shawn?" She asked and smiled at me.

"Oh" is all I managed to say.

"Can we take a picture?" She asked politely.

"Sorry...I...I..." is all I managed to say.

"I'll take a picture with you."

I turn around and Shawn is standing behind me. His arm wraps around my torso before kissing my cheek.
I smile and look at him. They take a picture and Shawn inertwines our fingers before we start walking.

"Love, you should have told me that you were going out. I'd have joined you." He says calmly.

"I know. But you were with the guys and I didn't want to bother you."

He stops walking. His hand turns my face towards him. I'm desparetely trying to keep my gaze on the ground. He lifts my face at the height of his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I've talked with my mother."

"Oh."

"She says that she wants us to go home for the christmas dinner."

"We will. But, that's not what's bothering you."

"Love, there is nothing bothering me."

"For sure?"

"Yes."

"Where were you going anyway?"

"At a cafe."

"Okay let's go."

Five minutes later, we reached the place. We enter and we order our drinks. Shawn spots a table and we sit down.

"Can you please give me your phone?"

"Sure." He replies before handing me the device.

I click on the instagram logo. I check one of his fan accounts. When I see the pictures, my mouth shapes an 'O'.

"Those ones are from today! We've just been out."

"I know. They take pictures. A lot."

"So they know?"

"Yes. It's been a week."

"What do they know about me?"

"Not much."
"Why are you freaking out?" He asks.
His hands take my shaking ones and hold them.

"I don't even know!"

"You shouldn't freak out okay? We are in this together. You just need to inform me before going out. You can't just leave the hotel."

"Okay." I reply and I take a deep breath.

He took his phone in his hand and started scrolling through his instagram.

I stare at him. I could honestly stare at him for hours. His hazel eyes can calm my soul with just one stare. Isn't it crazy? How a person can come suddenly in your life, but at the same time, when you need it the most. Your souls bond together and even though people, dicisions and moments try to break it, they can't. Simply because it's created with love.

"Shawn?"
His eyes layed on me. He smiled. I love his smile.

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

"Yes." He simply replies and his smile only gets bigger.

"But I thought you knew it already. I remind it to you all the time." He continues.

"I know. But do you really love me?"

"I do love you. I love you with all of my heart." He replies and takes my hands in his.

But...
