Song: This Is What It Takes- Shawn Mendes
"Some memories are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming!"~ Joseph B. Wirthlin
"Yeah, I'm kinda questioning why I chose to go to a museum today" I whisper to Shawn. It wasn't the museum I wanted to bring him to, but it would do. Plus, it was in walking distance. Our parents didn't trust us driving alone.
"Oh well, let's just look at the paintings" Shawn says to me. We walked around looking at different paintings. It was pretty quite, I mean it was a museum, but still. There was mostly adults here.
"Look at this one" I say pointing over to one, the person painted on it looked funny. "What about it?" Shawn asked "the person looks like you" I answered, we both looked at each other and laughed.
People looked at us, more liked glared. "Shh" someone shushed us, "children these days, can't appreciate art" another said. "This is art right here" I whispered pointing over at Shawn "don't anger them more" he tells me.
"That was funny you had to admit" I say giggling "yeah" he answered "let's go somewhere else before they try to hurt us" he adds. We start waking around finding a place where no one was.
"That's a nice painting" I say looking up at one, it was of a bridge over a pond with flowers and lots of trees and bushes in the back. "Here, can you take a picture of me looking at it?" I asked Shawn handing him my phone.
"This looks like a picture that someone posts on Instagram, so good job Shawn" I say "thanks?" He questions, I laugh looking at his confused facial expression. "Well, I'm gonna post what should my caption be?" I asked "art looking at art" Shawn answers.
"I think you're the real masterpiece here" I say smirking "we're so lame" he says "you started it" I told him "well it's true, you're a piece of art" he says looking at me "Are you trying to flirt with me?" I asked "it's not trying if I succeeded" he answered it a smile.
"Smooth" I answered as we laughed "hey, you wanna know my favorite art piece we saw today?" I asked Shawn "what?" He answered "the one standing right in front of me" I say referring to him. "That was a good one" he answered "I know right" I say walking forward and flipping my hair.
We held hands the rest of the time, "I'm getting bored" I say "want to leave?" Shawn asked me "we did look at all the paintings already so I guess we should" I answered
"Sorry, this day was kinda boring" I say to him "it was fun" he answered "you don't have to lie to me" I told him "I'm not, we got to spend time with each other so it was fun" he says "wow, you're too nice to me" I said "what do you want to do now?" He asked
"Honestly, I want to take a nap." I answered "then let's do it" Shawn said "yay! Nap date!" I cheered as he laughed. We started making our way back to my house.
I opened the front door "mami!" I shouted "anyone home?" I asked "yes, Camila?" My mom asked she was sitting down in the kitchen. "Shawn and I are back" I tell her "hello Shawn" my mom said "hey Mrs. Cabello" he answered.
"What are you kids going to do now?" She asked us "planning on taking a nap" I say shrugging my shoulders. "Okay, have fun?" She questioned I laughed and walked upstairs to my room, Shawn following behind me.
I kicked off my shoes and crawled into my bed, I laid my head down on one of the pillows I had. Shawn did the same, we just looked at each other for a bit. "Why do you have such long eyelashes?" I asked looking at his eyes "I don't know" he answered.
I closed my eyes and tossed and turned for a bit. I turned around facing Shawn again, I brought myself closer to him. I placed my ear against his chest, I could hear his heart beating.
It was funny how the beating of his heart and even the sound of his breathing put me at ease. "Shawn?" I asked "yeah" he answered "can you sing to me?" I asked "what song" he answered.
I thought for a few seconds "This Is What It Takes" I answered smiling. He soon starts singing softly to me
'I watch your troubled eyes as you rest And I fall in love with every breath Wonder if those eyes are really shut And am I the one you're dreaming of 'Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that is trying so hard to be seen And I know this, cause I'm noticed, A little bit shining through the seams'
I closed my eyes listening to his voice, I could honestly listen to him sing forever. His voice and his songs just made me feel at ease.
'And if this is what it takes, Then let me be the one to bear the pain Oh if this is what it takes, I'll break down these walls that are in our way If this is what it takes'
I wrapped my arms around him, he did the same. He started stroking my hair making me feel even more sleepy.
'Cause if you don't understand yet Then I'll never let you forget That you don't have to do this on your own I'll be your shoulder to lean on I'll be your right when you feel wrong So come on take my hand we're moving on'
I wonder how he came up with these songs, I knew he had a girlfriend before. I wonder if these songs were about her. She would be pretty lucky if they were. How I would love it if someone wrote a song about me.
'And if this is what it takes, Then let me be the one to bear the pain Oh and if this is what it takes, I'll break down these walls, these walls that are in our way If this is what it takes'
Shawn finished the song as I fall asleep. It would be amazing to fall asleep like this everyday. How lucky the girl he ended up marrying would be.
This is I think one of my favorite chapters lol vote and comment please!
