"You're the only thing I can write about, now." I tell her, my heart swelling at the thought of seeing her again tonight after she's heard the songs. "And I'm gonna keep writing songs about you until the day I die, and that's a promise."

"Stop being so adorable!" She whines, "What should I wear tonight?"

"Whatever you want." I shrug, "You'll look beautiful in anything."

"What are you wearing?"

"Uh, just a white button up and some grey trousers. Why does that matter?"

"Because I wanna match outfits with you." She chuckles, "So I'm gonna wear a silver dress and white heels. Sound good?"

"Sounds perfect." I assure her, "Now, go listen to the album!"

"On it!" She replies, "See you soon!"

"See you soon, baby!" I reply, met with the sound of the call ending. I chuckle to myself as I take my outfit off the hanger, nerves creeping in about what she's going to think to the album.

"Is she coming?" Brian asks, appearing in the doorway of my hotel room.

"Of course she's coming." I reply, "She wouldn't miss it for the world."

"You know I'm so happy for you, right?" He says suddenly, "I've never met anyone more perfect for you than her."

"I'm glad you think so." I nod, a smile creeping on her face. "Because I'm gonna marry her, one day."

He laughs, until he realises I'm not laughing along. He does a double take, raising his eyebrows at me. "You're serious?"

"More serious than I've ever been about anything." I confirm, "And if I don't, it'll be the greatest mistake of my life."

"Holy shit, Mendes." He chuckles, shaking his head in disbelief. "When did you get so soppy?"

"Shut up, Bri." I hit back jokingly, swatting his shoulder. "But I do wanna marry her, and live with her and have children and everything inbetween."

"Maybe you should ask her to be your girlfriend, first?" Brian suggests.

"Maybe I should." I sigh, "Maybe I should." I repeat the words, realising tonight is the perfect night. "I'm gonna ask her tonight."

"And do you think she'll say yes?"

"I can't see why she wouldn't." I sigh, thinking about how hard the next few months are going to be whilst I'm on tour, without her. We'll make the most of tonight, and every day that comes after that. "I just wanna make her mine."

He chuckles, playfully rolling his eyes as we walk out of the hotel room, heading across the city to the club. I feel nothing but excitement, completely ecstatic to introduce Aurora to all my friends and show her off. And ask her, finally to be mine.

I plan the way I'll do it in the taxi cab, deciding I'd take her up to the roof and ask her to be my girlfriend with the view of New York City behind us. She loves that view, I know it. And miraculously, she loves me.

It's not long until we reach the club, our encounter planned firmly in my mind. It was going to be perfect, and nothing could ruin it.

"There he is!" Andrew exclaims, walking over to me in the club entrance and clapping me on the back. "The man himself!"

I blush slightly at his words, allowing him to lead Brian and I into the currently empty club.

"People are gonna start arriving any minute now, and they're all here for you and your hard work." He tells me, handing us two glasses of champagne. "Cheers, to breaking records once again!"
