Be My Girlfriend

Camila's POV

Shawn and I made our way into the elevator hand in hand. He had promised me that we were in fact going to a dinner, it just wasn't on the first floor.

The rooftop was decked out with fairy lights that were strung along the walls.

"Reservation for Mendes," Shawn said to the older women who lead us outside where we got to see the view outside up close.

I held onto the railings as I let the New York air hit my face. It was magical and I've never seen New York the way I did now. It was gorgeous and beautifully lit up.

I gasped at the sudden connection with Shawn as he wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Did I mention that you look absolutely divine this evening?" He mumbled against my neck, kissing it softly.

I hummed turning in his arms to face him, "just a few hundred times in the car and on the way up here," I teased, playing with the hem of his tight, black shirt.

"So, not enough," he sighed, "you look unreal."

I blushed, deciding not to hide it but instead embrace it. "You look incredible," I complimented him, grazing my hand over his cheek before dropping it to his chest.

He looked down at me, licking his lips, almost driving me completely insane. He glowed against the shimmer of the fairy lights, making him look surreal.

He brought his hand up to my face, the faint sound of Ed Sheeran's song "Perfect" hummed in the background. I had completely forgotten that other couples and families were still up here eating dinner as well but they weren't close enough to hear or see much and for that I was grateful.

He bowed his head down, his lips brushing mine, "I know that this usually comes at the end of the date but...can I kiss you?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

I nodded, letting my eyes flutter shut as his soft lips finally connected with mine. We kissed slowly and longer than intended and as we pulled away, Shawn traced my lips with the pads of his fingers before pulling me into yet another one.

"Wow," I whispered, breathily as I tried to match our breathing for no reason other than to be certain that his heart rate was going as fast as mine.

He chuckled before gazing into my eyes, "oh my god," he muttered, his voice husky and low, making it almost impossible to not connect our lips again for another go.

My face broke out into a smile as I leaned my forehead against his, "what?" I giggled.

"What have I done to deserve to be as close to someone as you right now?"

"Absolutely nothing, hun." I hummed, kissing his chin.

"How about we have some dinner?" He asked, taking my hands in his, leading us to our dinner table that was right up against the railings, still capturing the view.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" He asked, looking out at the view, "so pretty." I gushed, squeezing his hand from across the table.

We had just finished our dinner that tasted incredible and then we shared a dessert before sharing another peck on the lips, savouring the sweet taste of the tiramisu we had shared a few minutes prior.

"You look breathtaking." He said, randomly, catching me off guard. "So do you," I chuckled as he scrunched up his nose.

"You look great," I mumbled, placing a lingering kiss to his forehead.

At just the most beautiful moment, the song "Kiss Me" by Ed began to play and Shawn and I both looked at each other, knowingly.

He stood up, gesturing for me to follow his lead as he stuck his hand out for me to take.

I giggled, "what are we doing?" I looked around as he lead me to the middle of the rooftop, now having everyone stare at us. Shawn positioned us so that our bodies were pressed up against each other's, one of his hands were on my waist, the other interlocked with my hand.

He began to lead me, swaying along with the beat of the song.

Truly, if this was anyone else, I'd call them crazy for putting us in a situation where we had people staring but with Shawn, I felt so alive and free. Nothing could embarrass or bother me when I was with him.

Being so close to him and having the chance to be intimate with him felt so surreal and I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love"

We sang to each other quietly as my cheek was pressed against his heart, listening to the calming beat.

He bent down and began to sing into my ear, the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.

"Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady"

I began to tear up at his words. I would've never imagined my life to become this way. A year ago, I would've probably given up on myself. If not that, then I'd probably be dead from the lack of food I was intaking. I simply didn't care but now, living and breathing and feeling good was what I wanted and cared about.

"I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms"

I did. I squeezed his body tighter, letting him know that I was understanding and hearing him sing to me. My heart felt as if it was going to explode out of my chest as I began to further listen to the words he sung into my ear, causing shivers to coarse through my body.

We let the song finish and as the last lyrics were sung, we shared a lingering and soft kiss that felt like no other.

"Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love"

"Camila," he whispered against my lips.

"Be my girlfriend."
