Shawn was coming here today and I have belonged to this for so long now. Mum and dad are on a work trip to Spain in a week and my brother is in Gothenburg with some friends. That means that I have the whole apartment for myself for a week. 

Shawn, 15:46
I'm in Stockholm now!!!

Ella, 15:47
OMG, you are soon here, I have to buy food.

I run out to the hall, putting my jacket on and stepping into my shoes while I grab my keys before I go to the grocery store. It's empty with people in the grocery store. I take a red basket and fill it with a lot of fruit and snacks. 

The fridge is loaded with various food and the pantry is full of sweets and chips. I sit down on the couch and watch some TV before I hear a knock on the door. I fly out of the grey couch and run out to the hall. I check myself in the mirror before opening the door. There he is. 

''Hi,'' he says and smiles. I'm just staring at him. He waves his hand in front of my face and I come back to reality. 

''Hi,'' I say with a shaky voice och pink cheeks. 

''Can I get a hug?'' He asks and opens his arms. I hug him tight. ''You are cozy.''

It's dark outside and the clock is eight. We've just eaten dinner, which became home delivered pizza. Shawn has started to talk a lot more, though I didn't dare to say so much. Sometimes it got quiet between us both, and then I could see in the corner of my eyes how Shawn looked at me.

''Do you want to do something?'' He asks. 

''Sure, like what?''

''I want to see Stockholm in the evening,'' he says smiling. 

''So you want to go out?'' He nods and we get up from the couch. 

We go down to the harbor. We look out over the water and the boats that were parked at the harbor. It's not many people out here. Probably because it's Monday and cold outside. I pull my hands over my arms, an attempt to warm up. 

''Are you cold?'' He asks. I shake my head to him, turning to look at the water again. In the corner of my eyes, I see Shawn taking off his jacket, a feeling of happiness appear inside me. 

''Here,'' he says and put his jacket on my shoulders. I smile at him. 

''But now you are cold,'' I say, but he just shakes his head. 

''It is a lot colder in Toronto,'' he says and a slight laugh leaves his mouth. I smile before I feel his arms embrace me in a hug. 

''You are tense,'' he says and I nod. ''Why?'' I sigh. 

''You are the first guy I hang out with,'' I say with a low voice. 

''Ella, don't worry,'' he says with a soft voice and hugs me tighter.

''A guy has never given me so much attention.'' My gaze is on my shoes. ''I'm not used to this, I don't know how I should behave."

''I think we should go home, watch some TV and just get to know each other better,'' he suggests and I nod before he grabs my hand.
