Texting / Shawn Mendes

Birthday madness

We are currently in L.A. Shawn is barely at the hotel with me, since he spends most of the time filming for "The late late show". I'm not mad though, we are back at texting and facetiming every 2 hours and we spend the nights together.

Today, is my birthday. I woke up at 9 a.m but Shawn was no where to be seen. I decided, since it's my birthday, that I'll go for a walk.
I wore a short black dress that shows off my curves. I also put on my black converse in order to make my look appear more casual. I take the elevator and I stare at my reflection through the giant mirror. Even though, it's my birthday, I am sad. Sad because I'll spend it alone, once again.
The elevator's doors open and the big lobby appears in front of me. The lobby is packed with people who walk all over the place. I walk towards the reception and Alex, a brunnete boy, who recently turned 20 and I had the chance of having a long convesration with-about our lives, is smiling at me.

"Happy birthday Malia!" And he hugs me.

"Thanks. How do you.."

"Shawn passed by the reception a couple hours ago and he left something for the birthday girl." He says smiling and walks back behind the reception and grabs a bouquet of flowers. Red roses. I love roses.

"Thank you Alex. Did he say anything else?" I ask smiling as I take the bouquet out of his hands.

"I'm sorry, Malia. I'm afraid he did not." He replies with a sad smile.
I smile back at him and make my way outside the hotel. I text him.

Texts:

Thanks for the flowers.

Anything for you. Happy birthday, love. I'll text you as soon as possible. I love you.

I love you too.

The sun was shining and the streets were filled with people walking fast in different directions.

I walk towards one of the biggest and bussiest cafès in the area which Shawn and I visited for the first time, yesterday. I won't lie, their coffee is pretty damn good.

I make my order and I'm waiting for my coffee until Shawn facetimes me.
I walk fast towards the washroom and I make sure that no one is around before I answer.

Shawn is smiling at me and I look at him confused.

"I thought you were still filming. Is everything okay?" I ask concerned.

"Everything's perfect. There is someone here who wants to wish you a happy birthday." He says with a huge smile and he turns the phone to his right.

Julia's face appeared on my screen.
I immediately smiled. I met her a few days ago when she passed by our hotel to see Shawn.

"Hi!" I say excited.

"Hello, pretty! Happy birthday! How does it feel now that you are officially an adult?" She asks.

"I don't feel like it." And I shrugged.
"I don't think that I became an adult overnight. There are more things that make us adults. Age is just a number." I say smiling.

She looks at Shawn with a huge smile.

"She's smart too. I like her."

The facetime is over and I take my drink. I find a small table near the huge window and I enjoy my drink as I'm reading a novel that I bought yesterday from a small book shop near our hotel.

Later, I get a text from Shawn asking me if I'd like to go at a club for my birthday, along with some of his local friends since I don't know anyone from here. I thanked him and I accepted his offer.
