I stand up and say, “I’m fine, I should’ve watched where I was walking.” He verifies that I’m okay and grabs my hand and I start limping. Once we get to the swing set he says to me, “Hey this is where we had our first date.” He puts air quotes around when he says the word date. I laugh and say, “Yea, when we were like 6!” We both start laughing. We have so many memories from here, it’s fantastic. He’s still holding my hand. It’s so dark outside; I can barely see my grandparent’s house anymore. I zone out and all of a sudden I hear Shawn say, “Selfie!” and by reflex I smile towards his phone. I say, “That’s being sent to me right?” He nods his head as in he thinks it’s obvious. Then he says, “Well actually you can just go on twitter and get it.” I give a confused look and my phone beeps, so I check my phone and I get a notification. “@ShawnnMendes: with ma best friend @EmilyyLovee98 pic.twitter.com/yi108v0pm3” ((NOT A REAL TWEET BTW AND NOT A REAL USERNAME EITHER!)) I smile and say, “Umm, this caption looks like I just got friendzoned to the max there Shawn.” He looks back at the tweet then back at me. He stutters, “We-eh-ll, I didn’t mean to! And you have me on tweet notifications!” I say back to him, “I’m just joking!! And yea, I do, got a problem?” I smile. He blushes, then smirks and grabs my hand and pulls me over towards a bench. I sit down closely next to him.
He doesn’t let go of my hand. I check twitter, and I see my mentions blowing up. “Oh my god, how do you live with this? Even being tagged in things from you makes me go crazy!” He laughs and says, “I usually ignore them unless I’m really bored, then I will just go down my mentions and favorite tweets.” I put my head on his shoulder and yawn. I was getting really tired, but I didn’t want tonight to end, it was one of the best nights I have had in a long time. He starts rubbing my back, and I look up at him and he smiles. My phone beeps again, it’s a text from Aaliyah, “come back over so that I can hang out with my best friend!! (:” I smile and I tell Shawn. I text my mom asking if I can spend the night with Aaliyah because she misses me, my mom said that I could. Shawn winks, I say, “Shawn, we have until we get back to your house, then I am getting time with your sister!” He frowns. I punch his arm, “SHAWN!” He laughs. I say that we can sit for a few more minutes and just pretend like my mom hadn’t responded yet.
He lies down on the bench and puts his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. I’ve never had a thing with any boy, so I felt a little bit awkward. I put my arm around his stomach and lay my head on his chest. I had butterflies in my stomach; I’ve always had a huge crush on Shawn. We weren’t talking, but I felt such a connection with him. I get up and I tell him that we should probably go back to his house. He was almost asleep so I basically dragged him back. Before we got to his house he pulled me close and kissed me. So this is what a kiss feels like. I liked it. We got back to his house and before we walked in he let go of my hand and opened the door slowly, Aaliyah was waiting for me. She pulled me up to her room and I give Shawn a last hug for the night. Aaliyah rolls her eyes, sighs, and says, “You guys have hugged enough oh my gosh!!” We both laugh and when we get back to her room she passes out because she was over tired. I laugh and I fall asleep too.
