The next morning I got a message from Daniel.
"Hey gorgeous, how are you?"
"Good, you?" I responded
"Sad that you're not here with me :(" He sent back.
"Cute." I sent with an eye roll emoji.
"Sarcasm?"
"Me? Sarcastic? Never."
"Very funny. Want to do a movie night?"
"Sure, what time?"
"7:30?"
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"Goodnight <3"
I smiled to myself and blushed. Maybe I do like Daniel.
I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I heard someone knocking at door. It was 7:45 in the morning. I groaned, and got out of bed to open the door. I opened it to see Daniel holding another box.
"Hey, uh, you have a package." He said with his hand at the back of his neck.
"Thanks, come in!" I say.
I start opening the box.
"So what's up?" I ask.
"I came because it's movie night." He laughs.
"But it's seven thirty in the morning." I said, reading the note.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Trust me when I say it:
There's so much life ahead of you."
I smiled. The last line was from "Hold On", my favorite song from Shawn Mendes' second album.
"Yeah well I'm here for cuddles."
"Only if I can go back to sleep, and you sing to me."
"Fine."
I lay back down in my bed and snuggle up against Daniel.
He starts singing.
"And my dad says, 'Shawn stay with me, everything will be alright.
I know I haven't seen you lately, but you're always on my mind.'
I don't know what
You're going through
But there's so much life
Ahead of you.
And it won't slow down.
No matter what you do.
So you just gotta hold on."
