A/n: Okay so I know that I've already made an imagine about Shawn and Y/n saying I love you to each other for the first time, and I know that sometimes my stories can get repetitive, but you know what? These are my stories, this is how I write, and I'm not going to change it just because someone may not like it. I wanted Shawn and Y/n's first I love you to be different than I had originally written it, so I decided to do that. Anyways, please enjoy this imagine. Okay, without further ado, let's begin!

I've been dating the singer and songwriter, Shawn Mendes, for three months now, but we've known each other for seven months. I'm currently staying at his place in Toronto since I'm on spring break from college. Earlier today, I met Justin Timberlake and John Mayer. Justin asked if him and I could talk on the balcony and I said yes. He asked me how I feel about Shawn, so I told him. He then asked me if I love Shawn, and I said yes. I told him that we haven't said it to each other yet, and I'm afraid to say it to Shawn, because if he doesn't feel the same way, I'll be heart broken. Justin encouraged me to tell Shawn that I love him, and from the way that he was talking, it sounds like Shawn told Justin that he loves me.

I want to tell Shawn that I love him, I really do, but I don't know when the right moment is. I texted my best friend to get her advice after I told her about the conversation that I had with Justin.

Me: I just don't know how or when to tell Shawn that I love him. What do I do?

Grace: Well, don't force the moment. Let the moment come to you. I know that this is probably going to sound like crappy advice, but you'll know when the moment is right.

Me: What if he doesn't feel the same way?

Grace: From the way that Justin was talking, it sounds an awful lot like he told Justin that he loves you. Just do what you feel is best, okay?

Me: Okay.

I was sitting on the couch at Shawn's place. He was sitting on the balcony, strumming his guitar. When he said that he was about to go out there and asked if I wanted to come outside with him, I told him that I had to do something first and then I would be out. I finished texted Grace, and then went out to the balcony. Shawn turned around and smiled at me. Just his smile alone gave me butterflies.

"Hey pretty girl." He said.

"Hey handsome man. Do you mind if I sit with you?" I asked.

"No, not at all. Do you want to sit in between my legs?" Shawn asked. I nodded. He set the guitar aside and I sat in between his legs. He wrapped his arms around me as I leaned my back against his chest. I felt happy and content, but I also felt nervous. I rested my hands on Shawn's thighs.

"Shawn?" I asked

"Yes baby girl?" He asked.

"Um, do you mind if I turn around and face you while I sit on your lap?" I asked.

"That's fine honey. Whatever makes you comfortable." Shawn said. I smiled and turned around so I was straddling his lap. I felt so nervous. He rubbed my sides and smiled at me.

"Um, there's something that I want to say, but I'm really nervous to say it." I said. Shawn frowned.

"Why honey? It's just me." He asked and said.

"Because it could change everything." I said.

"Well, we'll figure it out. What is it babe?" He asked. I placed my hands on his clothed chest. I looked at his lips, and then looked into his eyes.

"You mean so much to me Shawn. You really do. You treat me like I'm a princess, and you make me feel so happy and beautiful. When I'm with you, especially when I'm in your arms, I feel content. I feel safe. You make me feel things that I never thought I would feel. You're amazing in every possible way. What I'm trying to say, and I understand if you don't feel the same way, but um, what I'm trying to say is, Shawn Mendes, I love you. I'm in love with you, and I have been for quite some time." I said. Shawn smiled at me.

"I love you too." He said. I smiled.

"Really?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah. Y/n, I've been in love with you since the moment I laid eyes on you. I love you Y/n Y/l/n." Shawn said.

"I love you too Shawn Mendes. Oh my gosh, I was so nervous that you wouldn't feel the same way." I said.

"Trust me babe, I love you so much. I love you more than words will ever be able to express." Shawn said.

"I feel the same way about you. I really want to kiss you right now." I said. Shawn chuckled.

"Then give the man that you love, who also loves you, a kiss." He said. I giggled and put my lips on his. I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, I felt sparks shoot through my body like fireworks, and I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon. We pulled away and smiled at each other.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." Shawn said.

"I feel like I can't stop smiling." I said. Shawn chuckled and nodded as he rubbed my sides.

"I know, I feel the same way." He said.

"Can we go inside and cuddle on your couch please?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Of course we can." He said. I smiled and we got up. Shawn put his guitar away and then joined me on the couch. He pulled me close to him and we kissed again. I then rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes as I listened to the soothing beat of his heart.

"Shawn?" I asked as he rubbed my back.

"Yes baby?" He asked.

"What was your first thought when you saw me?" I asked. He kissed the top of my head and I looked at him.

"I'm nervous to say it." He said. I moved more so I was closer to him.

"It's just me honey. It's okay." I said as I began to rub his cheek with my thumb. He nodded and then kissed the palm of my hand.

"You're the one Y/n. So, when I laid eyes on you for the first time, my first thought was 'Oh my gosh. I'm going to marry that girl someday.'" Shawn said. I smiled.

"Really?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Yeah. What was your first thought when you saw me?" Shawn asked. I gave him a kiss, happy to know that he felt the same way about me that I did about him. Shawn stroked the back of my head and smiled at me lovingly as I spoke.

"Well, I remember that I had been a fan of yours for about five years when we met -" I started.

"You saw me in concert the night before we met." Shawn said with a smile. I nodded.

"Yup. And then, this is going to sound so cheesy, but we're a cheesy couple, so it's okay, right?" I asked. Shawn chuckled and nodded.

"Yes it is babe." He said.

"Okay, so, when I saw you in that Dunkin Donuts for the first time, it was as if my heart went 'Oh there you are, I've been looking for you.'" I said. Shawn's smile widened.

"Oh my gosh that's the cutest thing I've ever heard. I love you so much babe." He said. I giggled.

"I love you so much too honey." I said. Shawn gave me a kiss. We then talked about our future together, marriage, kids, kids names, everything. I'm so in love with Shawn, and I'm so glad that he's in love with me too.
