Happy birthday to the man that brought me out of a dark place in my life and is a true idol. Happy 20th birthday Shawn Mendes!! 🤪

"i wish you could be here tomorrow." shawn said in a raspy tone through the phone.

"me too," i let out a fake sigh, "but you'll see me in about a week." i said biting my lip to hide a giggle.

Shawn's birthday was tomorrow, and since he went to Amsterdam to celebrate I couldn't get off work. Well that was until my boss decided that I could take a few days off. Shawn had already gave me the plane ticket before, so I didn't have to worry about that. The only thing I had to do was find out where he was staying, so I contacted Andrew. He gave me all the information I needed and thought that my plan was perfect.

"I can't believe I'm going to be turning 20 and my girl won't be here with me." He said making my heart beat faster.

"I'm sorry babe. I have to go, but I'll call you in the morning." I said holding my phone up to my ear with my shoulder as I packed the rest of my clothes in the suitcase.

"Okay," his voice was soft and sounded hurt, "I love you." He said making my lips curve into a smile.

"I love you too."

My flight was leaving in about an hour, and it's a 8 hour flight. I'm leaving at 12:00 am, and I will arrive at 7:00 am, well my time. It will be 1:00 in Amsterdam, which is perfect since Shawn will be getting ready for a lunch gathering for 2:00. I have done the math so much in my head the past few days it was probably unhealthy. It was all I could think about, and it was beyond difficult to hide from Shawn.

"You ready?" I heard my mom ask. I turned my head to see her leaning against my doorframe.

"Uh," I bit my lip and looked down at the clothes I had, "Yeah." I said nodding my head before zipping up the overpacked bag.


"Flight 252 to Amsterdam is now boarding."

My phone was buzzing in my hand as I boarded my flight. I looked down at my text to see that they were from Shawn.

Shawn❤️- is everything alright?

Shawn❤️- you seem pretty distant

Shawn❤️- I'm sorry if I did something to you.

Shawn❤️- just text me back when you can, I love you.

I felt bad for making Shawn feel like that, but it was only for him not to find out the plan. I took a deep breath and found my seat. Just 8 hours until I see him.

"Hi," I looked over to see a little girl with light brown hair and emerald colored eyes. Freckles were scattered all around her pretty face.

"Hello." I said giving her a smile.

Her lips curved into a smile revealing her missing teeth.

"You're really pretty." She said making my heart swell.

"Thank you darling, what's your name?" I asked.

"Darcy, what's yours?" She asked as she pushed herself back in the seat.

"Y/n," I said. As soon as I said that a woman with a stressed expression sat down in the seat closest to the aisle sat down.

"You can't just run off like that Darcy." Her Mom scolded.

"I'm sorry mama." Her voice was so soft and sweet.

"It's okay, just don't do it again." She said before sighing.

"This is y/n." Darcy said causing her mother to look up at me.

She smiled a warm smile and said, "hi, I'm Emily." Her voice sounded as if she had a hint of a British accent. There was no denying that she was Darcy's mother. That looked so similar.

Darcy and I talked for a few hours before her mom ordered a movie for her to watch. She snuggled close to her mom and within 30 minutes she was out like a light.

"I'm not trying to be nosy, but why is a young girl like you flying all this way?" She asked as she fixed the blanket that she put over Darcy.

"Oh no it's fine," I said shaking my head so she wouldn't think I thought she was being nosy, "I'm going to see my boyfriend for his birthday. He wanted to come out here to celebrate his 20th, but I told him I couldn't make it so that I could surprise him." I said smiling a little at the thought of seeing Shawn again.

"Aw hun that's so sweet." She said smiling a warm smile.

I laughed a little before asking, "so why are you guys flying to Amsterdam?"

"Well darcy is going to have a brother," she said smiling as she ran her fingers through Darcy's now somewhat messy hair, "after my husband I had Darcy we weren't able to have children without the risk of me dying, but we still wanted another kid.
We decided to adopt. A little boy was in need of a home, and we were first on the waiting list. Now here we are." She said smiling as she looked up.

Emily and I talked for a few more hours about anything and everything and before we knew it we were landing. my stomach filled wit butterflies as I got all of my stuff together.

"hey, are you on your way?" Andrew asked when I called him.

"Yeah, I'll be at the hotel in about 10 minutes." I said admiring the view as my driver drove to the destination.

"Okay. I told Shawn to stay at the room because I will be coming soon. I'm sure he'll probably be more excited to see you though," Andrew said making me laugh, "he's been complaining the whole time that you weren't here, so this will make his birthday way better." 

"Thank you for helping me with this." I said.

"Oh it was no problem." He said.

We both said our goodbyes and the driver pulled up to the hotel. I tried to contain my excitement and nervousness as I grabbed my bag.

Andrew already told me the room number so that I wouldn't have to deal with the receptionist. I got into the elevator and hit number 5. I watched as the numbers grew higher as I reached his floor. The metal doors opened when I got to the right floor. I looked at the numbers on the door until I found his.

I took a deep breath and collided my fist with the door.

"One second Andrew." His deep voice said from the other side of the door. I bit my lip to try to stop me from letting out a laugh.

After a few seconds the door swung open.

"Surprise." I said with a big smile.

His face changed from confusion and lit up. His pink plump lips curved into a bright smile revealing his perfectly straight teeth. He engulfed me into a hug and held me close to his muscular body.

I let out a laugh and hugged him back tightly.

"I can't believe you made it." He said pulling away to cup my face with his large warm hands.

"Well did you really think I was going to miss your 20th birthday?" I asked making him laugh a little before crashing his lips on mine.
