《Soulmates | S.M.》7
Advertisement
We arrived to Shawn's room on the 17th floor and to my surprise, it was a normal room. A king-sized bed on the left wall, a television set on the wall across from it, a small desk with a chair by the window, a closet on the left, and the bathroom on the right. Next to the t.v., there was a door that connected Shawn's room to Andrew's.
Taking off my shoes at the door, I set my bag down on the desk and looked at the view of the city. All of the lights were on, sparkling like diamonds. I turned around and saw that Shawn was at the nightstand next to the bed, on the phone. He looked over at me and smiled, continuing to talk.
After he hung up, Shawn went on the bed laying down and motioning his hands for me to lay down with him. I went over, sitting on the bed next to him. "I called and asked for a toothbrush to be brought up"
"Thanks"
"Yeah. Um. We won't be able to get clothes until tomorrow but I have stuff that you can wear" He got up from the bed, going towards the closet with me trailing behind him. "You can choose anything"
I looked at the selection of clothing, recognizing most from photos online. I was perusing until I came across one of the hoodies that I have been dying to get my hands on. The YOUTH hoodie. I gasped, taking it off the hanger, and showing it to Shawn who went back on the bed. "This. This. This"
He softly laughed. "Go ahead"
I went into the bathroom, taking off my clothes, and putting the hoodie on over my black, laced underwear. I looked in the mirror. The hoodie was so long that it looked like I was wearing it as a dress. I walked out of the bathroom, folding my clothes, and putting it next to my bag.
I turned around, looking towards the bed, to see Shawn with a look of surprise on his face. "I. Wow"

"What?" I chuckled.
"I was expecting you to grab some sweatpants or something"
Twirling as I showed off the hoodie, I went on the bed next to Shawn, going under the covers. "There's no need for it when it can practically come off as a dress"
"Any reason for picking this one specifically?"
"There are plenty and plenty of photos of you wearing this hoodie. I've always wanted one. That's pretty much it"
There was suddenly a loud knock on the door and Shawn stood up to get it. There was a man in a fancy uniform who walked in, rolling a cart with a silver platter and matching lid along with roses in a vase. Shawn tipped the man on his way out.
"I got your toothbrush" He smiled at me.
"What's all this?" I asked.
"I can't bring you on a date without getting flowers and" He lifted the lid of the platter. "Chocolate covered strawberries. A necessity for the perfect first date"
"Oh really?"
"No. I just thought it'd be nice" He picked up the platter, bringing it to the middle of the bed. "Before you start eating, wait a sec" He ran to the bathroom. After about a minute, Shawn ran back to the bed, in a plain white t-shirt and Harry Potter pajama pants.
Sitting down next to me with the strawberries in between us, I said "I love those pajama pants. A lot"
"You like Harry Potter?"
"Of course I do. I'm a Gryffindor"
"So am I" He said, extending the length of the last syllable. He picked up a strawberry, bringing it towards my mouth. I took a bite. "Oh. My. Goodness" I said. "That is the best strawberry I have ever tasted" I picked one up, allowing him to take a bite.
"You weren't kidding" He said. We ate for the next couple of minutes, silence engulfing the whole room. Once the platter was finished, Shawn brought the it back to the cart and began laying blankets from the closet on to the floor.

"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.
"Making my bed for the night" He said this as if it was normal that he was going to sleep on the floor.
"What?"
"I'm letting you sleep on the bed. Unless, you want to sleep on the floor?"
"You're actually insane. You can sleep on the bed"
"With you?"
"I mean. If you don't want to, I'll sleep on the floor"
As those words came out of my mouth, Shawn plopped the blankets on the bed, running to lay down with me. We turned towards each other, my arms supporting my head as I laid on the pillows.
"Are you sure you're okay with this?"
"Yeah. It's fine"
He took his phone out of his pocket, checking the time. "It's almost 11 pm. Are you tired?"
"A little. Are you?"
"Kinda. Wanna go to bed?"
"Sure" I smiled at him.
He turned off the lights using the buttons next to the bed. It was pitch black and I felt my eyes slowly becoming heavy. Right as I was about to drift off to sleep, I heard Shawn say my name. "Alana?"
"Hmm?"
"Would it be okay if-"
I was waiting for the rest of the question until I felt a hand snake on my waist to my back. As a non-verbal way of agreeing, I scooted closer, allowing Shawn to wrap his arms around me in a cuddle.
"Does it feel awkward?" Shawn asked.
"A little. It's fine, we'll get used to it"
"Are you su-"
"Be quiet" I interrupted, cupping my hand on his cheek, planting a small kiss on his lips.
"I could get used to that" He said.
I softly chuckled. "So can I. Good night, Mendes"
"Good night, Sinclair"
The Next Morning . . .
The sun was up and I could barely open my eyes. Once my eyes were able to adjust to the brightness of the room, I looked at the sight before me. Shawn Mendes, in his sleeping state. I took a few minutes to admire the view in front of me.
"Good morning" He said, under his breath.
"Good morning" I said, smiling softly.
He slowly opened his eyes, rubbing them in the process. "How was your sleep? Good?"
"The best sleep I've ever had" He gave me his signature smile and started pulling me closer to him, leaning in. Before he could kiss me, I rolled over to the opposite side of the bed, getting up.
"Heyyy" He said, pouting. "Where are you going"
"I don't know about you but I get morning breath. I cannot stand doing anything before brushing my teeth" I walked to the bathroom, brushing my teeth. Mid-brush, Shawn came in and started brushing his. We looked at each other through the mirror the whole time, grinning like idiots.
After I brushed my teeth, I decided that I would still be able to wear the black jeans I wore yesterday so I wouldn't have to go out and buy new clothes.
I was about to ask Shawn if I could borrow one of his shirts when I heard him yell from the bathroom. "Alanaaaa, I have a surprise for you"
I go to the bathroom to see Shawn holding up a YOUTH hoodie that looked to be about my size. "For the trip home" He softly grinned.
"Thank you" I said, taking it from him and giving him a hug. "So" I looked up at him. "What's gonna happen from here? Where's your next destination?"
"We are going to go to Utah tonight"
"And us?"
"I like you, Alana. A lot. And if you want this relationship to go somewhere, we can try it out" He placed a kiss on my forehead then put his against mine.
"I do" I whispered. "But what about the distance?"
"Shhh" He said. "We'll figure it out when we get there"
