SEÑORITA -- Shawn Mendes

Part 7

The sun is slowly peeking through the bedroom window, tinting the room a vivid orange color and Shawn is mesmerized by the beauty next to him. The first time he watched her sleep he felt like a total creep, but with time he lost that feeling and only cared about the peace he was feeling in his heart watching his girlfriend sleeping.

She has to be up shortly since she is working the morning shift today, but he wishes he could stay for hours in bed with her, just holding her tight, her strawberry shampoo filling his nose, a smell he grew to love so much that he bought a bottle himself so she could wash her hair at his place anytime too.

He never thought he would ever feel this way, in fact, he kind of believed he'll grow old alone, watch Aaliyah get married and have a family while he'll be lonely for the rest of his life. There were usually two sides when it came to women in Shawn's life. One was when they were terribly afraid of him because of his reputation and made sure they didn't even look him in the eye, let alone talk to him. It didn't happen that often, but did occur often enough to make him feel anxious about his future. The second case is when they really saw him just as an object. Someone they wanted to conquer so then they could say that they had sex with Shawn Mendes. All they saw was his good looks and ridiculous tales about him around town that made them want to jump his bones, but nothing else. Neither of them thought staying is an option, they either told themselves this is what he wanted or didn't believe he'd ever be able to handle a real relationship.

Either way, Shawn truly doubted he would ever find someone to break the pattern, but that's when Y/N came. Her innocent look, the way her eyes shined and how her dress hugged her perfect curves, it mesmerized him and he just knew it's an opportunity he couldn't miss.

He never thought how a girl with the prettiest smile and a sassy attitude would turn his whole life upside down. All along he felt this connection to her that he just couldn't explain, but something inside him told him he can't let go of her and he is happy he listened to it. Because he can't imagine life without her now.

Reaching out he carefully traces the side of her face not able to resist the urge to touch her. His fingers slide down to her chin and gently touch her lips. Those lips can make him lose his mind with just one kiss and he often catches himself daydreaming about them whenever he is not with her.

She stirs in her sleep, eyes flinching gently, she draws a deep breath before nuzzling her face into the pillow further, this small scene bringing a smile to his lips. He adores every little detail about her, the way she wrinkles her nose when she is trying to focus, the way she rolls her eyes at him when he says something nasty, but he can always see the hidden smile in the corners of her mouth. He loves how her palms feel against his stomach when she hugs him from behind in the bathroom every morning when he is washing his teeth and she comes in to get ready.

Careful not to wake her up he strips the covers off of his body and tiptoes out of the room, glancing at her sleeping figure one last time before closing the door behind him. Grabbing his phone from the coffee table he sighs as he sees the unanswered texts and emails waiting for him to get back to them. He was planning on taking care of them last night, but after coming home with Y/N and joining her in the shower business was the last thing on his mind, wanting nothing else than to spend the rest of the evening with his girl.

Most of the messages and emails are from Andrew, the guy has been blowing up his phone lately which is annoying, but he often reminds himself why he is doing it.

Over the years he saved up enough money to start a little business, it has been a backup plan of his for a while now, but since Y/N came into his life he knew the turning point must come as soon as possible. If he wants a future with her he needs to leave this shithole back finally. Andrew Gertler is a Toronto based business man who has been helping him out starting this business going, but it takes more than he thought. He often thought it doesn't worth the time and effort, he wanted to choose the easier way, but then, when he picked Y/N up at the diner after work he was reminded why he was doing it.
