DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

And so, Connor complied and left his camera. Outside, walking our way to Starbucks, a few girls noticed the blonde guy with us.

"CONNOR!" They yelled as they gather around, "Can we take a picture please?"

"Sure."

Ted and I didn't stop to wait for him and his fans to finish taking the picture.

"Whoa, you guys, can't you wait?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I've been stressed this whole week and that Yuna just contributed a huge amount today. She's gonna make me sick. If I wouldn't get my coffee in time, I could come back in that room and choke her."

I chuckled, "She's been like that since we were in college."

"You've been in college with her?!"

"Yes. Shawn and I actually."

"Whoa.." Connor catches up, "You mean the three of you went to the same school?!"

"Mhm."

"What the heck. How come I didn't know you're the girl he was talking about before?!" Teddy asks with her eyebrows creasing in confusion.

"He was talking about me?"

"All the fucking time. He says most of the songs he wrote's about the girl who made him whole." Connor says.

Hearing it makes my heart flutter. He may have left me before but he never stopped loving me and never forget whatever happened between us. I swear when we return to that room, I'll hug him tight and kiss him so bad.

"Remember when he cried?" He added.

"Oh I'll never forget that one. What's that song again?"

"Three Empty Words."

"Yeah, that. He sobs while recording one time and now we understand why."

"Why?"

"Because you're different. You have that something.. I don't know what it is but I have to admit that even though we don't know each other for a year or even months, I feel light with you. Has anyone told you that?"

I shake my head with a shy smile, "No."

"Maybe because they still don't know how to put it into words but yeah, you're remarkable."

"Aww Ted. Thank you. That's-"

"CONNOR?! OH MY GOD CONNOR!!" Another girl yelled from the other side of the road.

As she's making her way across, Teddy looked at him, "This is why I don't want you coming with us."

"What? This is fun."

"Fun for you, we'll just be ahead. Follow right after that."

"Yes Ma'am."

We continued walking and talking, I told her about when we were in college but not all of it. It's mostly about Yuna and her unpleasant personality and well, of course her army of dogs before. I still have to keep a little story to keep for the future, she seems enlightened and delighted at the epic moments before all of this. A few moments more and we have finally reached Starbucks. Teddy ordered Gingerbread Toffee Frappuccino, Connor's Fudge Hot Chocolate, mine's whatever I don't care because it makes me happy anyways.

"We'll order Shawn's later so it won't turn into a disaster, same with the cheesecake." Teddy sips as she squeeze herself on to the elongated seat and table.
