The Cafe Girl

PART THREE B

YOUR POV

We leave the cafe after thanking the workers and head to Shawn's car. Once we are in his Jeep, I ask him "Do you mind showing me some more of your music because I've only ever heard your songs on the radio?" He turns and looks at me before looking in his side view mirror and pulling out onto the road.

"Yeah sure, my phones connected to the cars bluetooth so you can use my Spotify." He says handing me his unlocked phone. I open the Spotify app and type in Shawn's name into the search bar, before clicking on his profile and seeing that he has over 40 million monthly listeners. I go to his full discography before asking him "Is there any song in particular you want to listen to?"

He thinks for a moment before saying "In the album Illuminate, the song 'Ruin'." I then click on that song before resting his phone on my thigh. It gets to the chorus of the song and I look over at Shawn because he has started singing along to the song without even realising it. It then gets to one part in the song where there is a guitar solo, I look over at him again and this time he notices and gives me a massive smile before pretending to play the guitar. I start laughing but through my laughter I say "Shawn! Focus on the road." Shawn stops doing the air guitar to his own song and focuses on the road again, both of us still laughing at what happened moments before.  

It doesn't take long to get back to my house, in fact it only took three more songs before we get there. Shawn turns onto my street before turning his head to look at me and asking "Which house is yours?" I point to a house on the left side on the street, "That one there." I say and his eyes follow where I'm pointing. "Should I pull into the driveway?" he asks, I nod my head before realising that he's not looking at me and saying "Yeah."

I wasn't surprised that one of my parents cars was gone because they usually go to work together since they work for the same company. The strange thing is that both of the cars are gone, they never really go to work separately. The only reason I can think of as to why they would go in different cars is because one of them has a meeting, but I don't remember my mum or dad telling me that they had a meeting. Maybe it just slipped their minds because they've had a lot on their plate recently.

I hadn't realised how long I had been lost in my thoughts, but it must have been a while since Shawn had pulled into the driveway, turned the engine off, gotten out of the car and come around to the passengers side and opened my door for me.

"Hey, are you okay? You were thinking for quite a while." Shawn said with a concerned expression on his face.

"Yeah, sorry, I was just thinking about my parents." I reply, and Shawn looks back at me with a sad smile. Shawn doesn't properly know what's going on with my parents, but I told him that they've been on the rocks a bit lately.

I get out of the car and walk up to the house, I take my keys out of my coat pocket and unlock the door. We walk into the entrance hall and take off our shoes and I take Shawn's coat off him and put it in the cupboard.

"Do you want anything to drink?" I ask Shawn as he follows me into the kitchen.

"I'll have a coffee please, Y/N." Shawn replies. I take out two mugs from the cupboard and put the kettle on. I then make Shawn's coffee and I make myself a tea. I hand Shawn his drink and he says thanks.

"I need to take a shower, you can make yourself at home down here, or you can wait in my room." I say to Shawn whilst I hold my mug in one hand whilst picking my phone up in the other hand, before turning back around to face Shawn.

"I'll come up to your room, I guess." Shawn says with a small smile on his face before standing up and walking towards me. I return the smile before leading the way up to my bedroom. We climb the stairs and then go to my bedroom door, which is the very last one on the right side of the hall. I open the door and walk in, setting my cup of tea on my desk before turning around to face Shawn and he is just looking around my room.

"Okay, I'm gonna go take a shower and get changed, just make yourself comfortable." as I say this Shawn places his coffee down on the small table next to my bed, before sitting on the bed. Shawn has a smile on his face whilst he looks up at me before saying, "I'm taking you somewhere after this so where something comfortable but not sweatpants."

I give him a confused look for a moment before fully understanding what he'd said. I turn around to my closet and take out a pair of black skinny jeans, a black tank top and an orange sweater. I then go to my set of draws and grab out my underwear, before going to the cupboard that's in my room and grab a towel, and heading to the bathroom to shower.

SHAWNS POV

Y/N had left her bedroom to go for her shower. I get up off the bed to look around her room, not in a weird or creepy way, I just wanted to get a closer look at some of the pictures she has up on her walls. As I'm walking around looking at pictures of her and her friends and family, when I notice the keyboard sitting on the wall next to her bed.

I sit down on the chair she has set up for the keyboard, and then I turn it on before starting to play random chords. Once I come up with a melody, I start singing whatever words come to mind.

"I saw you in a cafe on a Sunday, all you did was walk my way" as I'm singing I'm making a mental note of what I'm singing, hoping I won't forget it. I keep pouring out lyrics whilst repeating the melody. I'm so consumed by what I'm doing that I didn't notice that Y/N had come back from her shower.

YOUR POV

I finished my shower, got dressed and put my dirty clothes and towel in the wash basket before heading back to my room. As I'm walking down the hall to my room, I hear singing and the sound of my keyboard that I haven't had the time to use recently. I'm standing in the doorway of my bedroom just listening to the melody Shawn is playing and the lyrics. It's in that moment I realise that I don't recognise the song he's playing; in the car on the way back from the cafe, whilst Shawn let me on his Spotify to play his songs, I took a quick look at the titles of his songs and I recognised some of them. This one isn't one that I recognise.

I wonder if he's working on a new song for the new album he's been working on. I walk into my room and Shawn stopped singing and turned around. I walked over and sat on my bed whilst Shawn stood up from the keyboard with a pinkish tinge to his cheeks.

"umm...how much of that did you hear?" Shawn asks whilst scratching the back of his neck, a nervous habit I've noticed he has.

"I didn't hear much, but what I did hear was great" I tell Shawn truthfully. "But what I did hear was amazing. Is it a new song?" I ask because I'm intrigued to know more about his music.

"Yeah it's a new song, I don't know if it's going to make it to the album yet because I kinda came up with it when you were in the shower." When he says this it shocks me, how the hell did he come up with a song that good in such a short amount of time?

"Bloody hell, how did you come up with something that amazing in the time it took me to shower?" I ask, still in shock.

Shawn shrugs his shoulders before saying "I guess I'm just good at my job" with a massive smile on his face. I just look at him and shake my head whilst smiling at him. "C'mon lets go to where ever it is that you want to take me, Mendes."

"Let's go." He says before taking the last sip of his coffee, I didn't finish my cup of tea but oh well.
