DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [93]

"Well, at least you're trying out new things."

We proceed to walk and saw different views. Tall and small trees, long green grasses, cottages built from coconut trees, unoccupied benches, different birds chirping on the branches, rocks formed and inhabited isles from afar. The blows of the wind is just right and the sun shining from the skies isn't burning. I look back and he speaks.

"Are we far from them?" He asks.

"Somehow, yeah."

"Can they see where we are?"

"I don't really know and I'm not really sure but they're tiny with my perspective point of view.. so I guess it's just the same on how they can see us."

"Good. I don't want to think I'm with them but with you."

With all of these, I think he's giving me hints, I don't know if he's into me or it's just me, assuming. I'm still in between my doubts. I didn't speak nor gave him a hum, I just want to hear more.

"There's something I wanna show you.." he says.

"What is it?"

"You'll see."

I just nod.

"What I said about you.. making me feel bad.. it's not in a negative way. It's just that.. you really make me feel so bad and I'm like 'Crap, she's right, what if I won't have this again? What if this is the last?'" He adds.

I chortle, "I'm glad you're fighting your own thoughts, because honestly, it's not for me, it's for you.. I'm not the one who's losing the consummation of the things, it's you, Shawn, because I can go anywhere without guards looking after me.. but you.. you can't go anywhere and enjoy things because they're always there and might report to your dad."

"Yeah.. I'm not gonna argue 'cause all of the things you said is true."

"Of course it is, but, have you experienced going to a place like this?"

"Going to the beach? Or to the place where we're heading?"

"No. This. I mean, all of this."

"Well, I did experience going to some beaches in other countries before, but only for working purposes for my dad, like dealing with other companies and earning partnerships, but experience things like this? Enjoying the view? Seeing everyone in this trip have fun? Walking barefoot while having a conversation with you? Never."

We were then quiet for a brief moment. He kicks the sand while walking. He made a long sniff and out a long sigh, "You know.. I never find it boring when I'm with you.."

My heart beats as fast as if it's hurrying to take itself out of my chest. I gulp, "R—Really?"

He made a laugh, "Yeah. I'm.. I'm honestly confused and always question myself why, but I just feel like it's never boring when I'm with you. Everything is just.. peaceful.. yet fun.." then he clears his throat, "How about you, May?" He chuckles, "You probably feel like you're walking with satan or with—"

I shake my head, "No.. actually, the feeling is mutual, Shawn.. but seriously, before, when you're just a new guy, I feel like you're much worse than satan himself."

"Yeah." He snickers, "I'm a complete jerk before.. HEY! I'm surprised you're not calling me jerk anymore..!"

"Because you're no longer a jerk, and I'm surprised you're not calling me meanie anymore."
