[26] First Date

"Okay." I replied.

Then, he pulled the blindfold off. Lo and behold, we were stood infront of a mini-golf place.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW I LOVE MINI-GOLFING?" I asked ecstatically.

"Just a wild guess." He replied, smirking.

"Okay. Great guess. Let's play!"

"God, I'm so in love with you." he whispered.

I turned to face him blushing insanely.

"Did you just say what I thought you did?" I whispered back.

"Holy shit. Yeah. I guess I did." He replied wide-eyed.

I didn't say anything else, just smashed my lips against his soft ones. His hands roamed my back before resting on my lower back. I smiled into the kiss before pulling away.

"Come on let's go." Shawn smiled.

We walked hand in hand as i skipped around childishly to the booth.

"Two people please." I smiled at the lady.

Shawn of course insisted on paying. He took the two putters and handed one to me.

"Here you go. Number 1 is right over there to the right." She smiled, waving us off.

In the end, I won 1-2. Shawn was slightly disappointed in himself but he was proud of me, nonetheless.

"So where we off to now?" I asked.

"Where do you wanna eat?" He asked.

"Hm. What about that bakery you brought me to the day we met?" I suggested.

"Oh yeah! Thats perfect. It's not that far away either."

"Yay!" I cheered like a little child.

After about a 30 minute car ride full of laughter and music, Shawn parked the car.

"We're here."

We both walked out of the car and held hands walking to the bakery. It wasn't that full inside. It smelled like freshly baked goods and like the holidays. It was November, afterall.

We sat immediately since it wasn't that full. In the end, Shawn and I both got a turkey sandwich. Of course Shawn couldn't go without ordering a blueberry muffin.

The sandwich was really great. I finished it quite quickly and so did Shawn. He ate the muffin right after and I ate the cookie I ordered. Which was really good as well.

After eating, we hung out at the bakery for another 30 minutes or so. By then, it was 9pm.

We started heading home. While we were driving on the highway, Shawn turned on the radio and we started singing along to the songs. Just as we turned slightly, there was a blinding light up ahead. The car in front of us was swerving like crazy.

Thank goodness Shawn moved to the right enough to get away from the car. We both took a huge breath of relief and continued down the highway.

At about 9:40 pm we were finally home. Just as I was about to go home, Shawn pulled me back.

"No. We're not done here yet. I have another surprise." He spoke.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Just wait out here for a few minutes.  Ill shout for you when I'm ready." He instructed.

"Okay." I smiled.

Then he walked off to his backyard.

Just as promised, he yelled for me to come just a few minutes later.

I walked into the backyard, and there were a bunch of fairy lights and flowers surrounding the patio. Shawn was sat on a chair, with guitar in hand.

"I have another song for you. I hope you like it."

[I'm gonna cut off some lyrics again like last time¡¡]

"It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her
It's not that I can't find the words to say
But when she's with him, she seems happier
And I don't want to take that away

How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know

I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose and I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?

Die or let it go

It's not that I don't care about the love you have
It's not that I don't want to see you smile
But there's no way that he can feel the same
Cause when I think of you my mind goes wild

How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know

I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose and I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?

You can tell me to stop if you already know
Though I'm not sure my heart can take it
But the look on your face says don't let me go

I'm not tryna start a fire with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose and I need to know
Will you let it die or let it go?"

"Oh my goodness Shawn. That was so beautiful." I said, tears brimming my eyes like last time.

He gave me a kiss on the lips and we both smiled. Then I pulled away slightly.

"For the record, I would let it grow."
