Waking up in your boyfriends arms is the best feeling in the world... so you've heard. While waking up from the sun shining on your face through the curtains, your arm reached over the the other side off the bed, which was completely empty. you just took a t-shirt of him and put it on. He didn't own any hoodies. He always said how sloppy they look. You walked to the kitchen to make yourself some breakfast and to get ready for the day other people already started. You checked your phone and saw it already was 11 AM. As a writer you never really had to check time. You could make your own plans, you were your own boss. You never liked the power someone could have over you with making a deadline for something. You were a control freak and being in charge of yourself made you feel more save.

After you finished your yoghurt, you looked for your laptop, a pen and some paper. You threw it in your handbag, grabbed your keys and walked out of your small apartment. You were really craving for your favorite coffee at moonlight's the coffeeshop just around the corner. It was your lucky day, cause as soon as you walked in you saw two people leaving your favourite table. You walked over to the table and took a seat. The moment you wanted to unpack your back you heard a familiar voice.
"hey stranger" You looked up and saw Shawn. one of your best friends from High school. "Shawn, hey! i missed you so much!" you stood up from your seat and hugged him. He smiled and hugged you back with a tight grip. "it's been so long, i wasn't thinking you'd live here anymore." he said.
You walked back to your seat and winked him to sit down. He took his seat and a guy came to take our orders. After a while and a lot of talking he came with your coffees. Shawn told you about his sudden success and his career he was currently working on. He was just visiting Pickering to spend some time with his family. "And how are you now?" he asked you while sipping his coffee. "I'm great! Currently working on my new book and me and Tom are still doing good." And the moment you spoke the word Tom his breathing stopped. "Tom?" he looked scared to ask. You nodded. "as in our High school friend Tom?" You kept nodding. "but... how?" he asked shocked. Tom and Shawn have always known each other. They used to be best friends but lost contact. "We both stayed in pickering after high school, and we only really knew each other, so we became closer and yeah..." Shawn looked shocked, the idea of you and Tom almost made him sick. "Is your relation like.. anything serious..?" You nodded again with a little smile on your face. You put your hand on the table and wiggled the finger with the promise ring Tom got you a few years ago. It's not entirely your taste, but it's the idea. Shawns eyes got even bigger than before, if that even was possible. "Is that a..?" He couldn't even finish his sentence properly. "it's a promise ring. Tom got it for me a few years ago."
You liked the idea of the promise ring, but you have been hoping it could be replaced with an engagement ring. You guys were already 25, it was about time.
"Cute.." he managed to get out of his mouth. He was acting strange and he knew it, something was up. You knew everything about this guy. You had the biggest crush on him when you guys were in 9th grade, and you still had a lil weakness for him, but when Tom asked you out, you got over him. You couldn't spend your whole life waiting for him. He doesn't even like you like that..
"Are you ok?" You asked concerned when you saw Shawn getting paler by the second. "Yeah, i'm just... i don't feel so well. I think i should go home." Shawn, who was as white as snow by now, grabbed the table and pulled himself up. "It was great seeing you again." you said, disappointed he already had to leave.

"see you soon?" You nodded, and he left.

Shawn Mendes, 25 years old, lives in Pickering, singer. And there it is, the friend request button. You were laying on your couch with your laptop on your lap. It was almost 8pm and you survived the day with only one bowl of yoghurt and some coffee. Tom could come home any moment but you couldn't care less. Your whole day, you only could think about one thing. Shawn Mendes, hotter than ever, cuter than ever, and the most caring and loveable person in the world. It was almost impossible to believe he still had facebook, but he did, and you were grateful for it. Are you gonna push that button? Your eyes got caught by his profile picture. Him holding a puppy. You chuckled. Shawn was really allergic to dogs, but every chance he had to cuddle one, he took.
Why are you even making a big deal about it, i mean you don't feel anything for him anymore, right? And with that thought, you clicked the button.
