Shawn Mendes Imagines

How do you know you're in love?

I ship Emma with Grayson 🤷‍♀️

A warm summer breeze brushed through my hair while I looked out at the passing cars. I always loved the view from the top of my roof. It was so calm and relaxing even though if I took one wrong step I would fall off the house.

"Hey," I snapped my head in the direction I heard the familiar voice. I smiled when I saw my best friend walking over to me.

"Hey." I said as he sat down beside me. I picked up the cold bottle of coca-cola and offered him a sip. He took it and brought the bottle to his lips. He gave me the bottle back and wiped the water that had dripped down the bottle on his black jeans.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and scrolled through his music. He clicked on our favorite song and placed the phone between us as 'You and I', by one direction played. I played it for him one time and he fell in love with it, so now every time we are together we play it. I know it sounds cheesy, but it means a lot to me.

"Shawn," He looked away from the busy road and met my eyes, "How do you know if you're in love?" I asked looking away down at my chipped finger nail polish.

He was silent for a few seconds before responding, "I don't really know," He pushed his brows together and my chest ached. I was about to say something, but he interrupted, "I think when ever you fall in love you'll know. You'll always want to be with that person, and you find happiness in all of the little things that they have or do, like freckles that are sprinkled around from their face to their toes, or how they bite their lip when they are nervous," Shawn placed his index finger under my chin and turned my head. My breath got caught in my throat when I met his chocolate colored eyes.

"How do you know all of this?" I asked in almost a whisper.

"Because these are just some of the things I notice about you." Shawn said as he inched his lips closer to mine. The moment his soft lips met mine butterflies erupted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and kissed him back softly. His hands trailed up my hips to cup my cheeks. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss. We pulled away after a few seconds for air. He rested his forehead against mine and smiled. I moved my hands from the back of his hair to cup his cheeks. He wrapped his fingers around my wrist and looked down.

"Shawn," He looked back up with a kind of worried expression, "I love you." The moment it left my lips Shawn smiled and crashed his lips back onto mine.

"I've waited years to hear you say that." Shawn said breathlessly once his lips left mine.
