The Weeknd - In Your Eyes.

---

I walk behind Shawn in the staircase, still holding his hand. The closer we get to the roof, the more excited I get. He kicks at the door two times before it opens. The sun is setting and the strong yellow light blinds me when I try to look at the roof. I move my hand to my eyes, trying to not get blinded by the sunlight.

I walk up the last few steps of stairs and reach the rooftop. My eyes adjust to the strong light and when I look around I fall in love. The ground underneath my feet is covered in grass, which makes it look like a natural rooftop. I don't know what a natural rooftop is, but it looks good.

There is a bed and a big television in the middle of the rooftop. Everything is decorated with romantic lights. Wow, this guy needs a prize for how much effort he puts in our dates.

'So... what do you think?' Shawn asks, stepping closer to me.

'I...uh...wow.' I sigh.

'I need to show you something else...' He grabs my hand again and drags me behind him.

Next to the door, there's this small path leading to the other side of the roof. The path is narrow, and you can't see what's on the other side.

When Shawn steps out of my eyesight, I see the biggest rooftop pool I've ever seen in my life. The sides of the pool disappear as if the pool continues where the roof ends.

'How is this pool so big?!' I ask, walking to it.

'Asking questions is my thing.' He says, wrapping his arms around me from behind.

'I know, but...' I don't even know what to say.

'Beth?'

'Yes?' I turn to him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

'Do you want to be my girlfriend?' The way he asks it is so cute. His eyes dart to all different places on the rooftop, not knowing whether to focus on my eyes or not.

'Okay.' I answer with a smile.

'Okay?' His eyes narrow, but he still has a smile on his lips.

'I never know what I'm supposed to say to that question?' I look at him.

'Scream your answer from the rooftops perhaps?' He answers, just making something up.

'Yes, Shawn Mendes! I want to be your girlfriend!' I scream, throwing my hands in the air.

He laughs, and that sound never sounded this perfect before. His hands move to the small of my back and he pulls me to him, crashing his lips onto mine.

Is it too soon? A month, I've known him for a month. Is a month too soon to be boyfriend and girlfriend? What if I don't know him well enough? Do I know him at all? What if moving too fast is going to destroy us? It really feels like I've known him for years...

The feeling of his hot tongue in my mouth takes my mind off my worries. I decide to enjoy the moment and Shawn, and just let everything go for once.

'Do you want to watch a movie?' He asks, pointing at the other side of the roof.

'Honestly?' He nods. 'No.' I answer.

'What is it with you and not wanting to watch the endings?' He asks.

'I don't want things to end.' I look at my hands.

'Why? Endings are not always a bad thing.' He puts his finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him.
