The Boy Next Door - Shawn Mendes

Shawn's PoV

6th October 2013

We woke up this morning in the same position we fell asleep in the night before. Amber's head was on my chest with an arm draped over my torso, and I had an arm wrapped around her back.

I woke up before her, of course, as she is definitely not a morning person. After I woke up, I leaned over to the side table and took a sip of my water, before carefully replacing myself with a pillow so Amber didn't notice I was gone. I tiptoed into Amber's bathroom and slowly shut the door behind me so it didn't slam and wake Amber up. I walked over to the sink and brushed my teeth, humming 'Life of the Party' while doing so. I switched the shower on, and made sure it was hot before jumping in.

"We don't have to be ordinary,
Make your best mistakes,
Cause we don't have the time to be sorry,
So baby be the life of the party,
I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary,
Hearts are gonna break,
But we don't have the time to be sorry,
So baby be the life of the party" I sang while washing my hair.

I stepped out the shower and immediately felt the cool air hit my skin. I quickly grabbed a warm towel off the towel rail and wrapped it around my waist before walking back into Amber's room to see her awake, sitting on the end of her bed.

"Nice singing," She said, smiling at me and standing up.

"Why thank you, miss" I said as she snaked her hands around my waist and placed her head on my warm chest.

"You're very welcome, kind sir!" She said as we both burst out laughing.

"Come here," She said, moving her hands from my waist to the nape of my neck. I placed my hands on the small of her back as we looked into each other's eyes. I slowly leaned in and my lips met hers. It felt just as magical as the night before, if not even more.

Maybe just a second or two after our lips met, Rebekah, Amber's mom came into the room to see if we were up yet.

"Amber, Shawn! Are you guys awake ye- ohhh, sorry for interrupting, I'll see myself out," She said before the 3 of us burst out laughing.

As soon as Rebekah had shut the door, Amber yanked my head towards hers, taking me slightly by surprise, and smashed her lips back onto mine, more passionately than the last time. I kissed back, and let my lips do the the work.

This was the best I had felt in a VERY long time.

She walked towards me, pushing me back against the bathroom door, still kissing me quite passionately. After a minute or two, she slowly pulled away.

"Wow," was all I could say.

"Wow," she echoed.

Amber jumped in the shower after our little make out, and I grabbed some sweats and a hoodie for each of us. I threw hers into the bathroom, to hear a "THANK YOU" being yelled back.

I quickly pulled my clothes on and grabbed my phone, waiting for Amber to be finished.

After around 5 more minutes, she came into the room, wearing the black sweats and yellow hoodie I threw in for her, and her hair pulled into a loose messy bun.

"Wow," I whispered under my breath as my jaw dropped. This was the first time I'd really taken in how stunning she was.

She must've heard me as she blushed and a small smile entered her face.

She walked over to me and grabbed my hand before walking downstairs to eat breakfast. I sat at the breakfast bar and she asked me what I wanted for breakfast after pouring each of us a glass of orange juice.

"Um, can I have some toast please?" I asked, and she nodded as she began putting slices of bread in the toaster.

She walked back over to the breakfast bar and leaned over from the other side so our faces were close. I was about to press my lips to hers, but then of course, Jack walks in.

"Jack!" Amber yelled. "Get out!"

"Ohhh I'm so scared! Sorry I'm not allowed in my own kitchen!" Jack answered sassily. He grabbed a glass from the cupboard then walked to the fridge for some water. He soon left the room, waving over his shoulder, knowing we were both watching his every move. I watched as he shut the door, then Amber quickly flicked my head back to hers and pressed her lips onto mine.

I wanted our lips together all day everyday, and I could tell that she wanted that too.

But I wanted more than just her lips.

I want her.
