181. Paris

"Are you all packed sweetheart?" Shawn Mendes, my boyfriend of almost six months asked me a couple of minutes after he walked into my mom's house. I nodded.

"Yup. My suitcases are in my room. I'm so excited!" I said. He chuckled and then him and my brother began putting the suitcases into the car. To celebrate mine and Shawn's six month anniversary, we'll be spending a week in Paris, France. I've never been to Europe before, so I'm pretty excited. I turned to my mom, who handed me my passport.

"Don't forget to let me know when you guys get to the airport and when you guys land so I know you're safe." My mom said. I nodded.

"I know mom. We'll be fine." I said. She nodded and gave me a hug.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I said. Shawn came back in and gave my mom a hug before we got in the car so my brother could drive us to the airport. Shawn sat in the backseat with me and he interlaced his fingers with mine. He brought my fingers up to his lips and grazed his lips against my fingers. I smiled at him and my smile grew as he closed his eyes as he planted a gentle kiss on my fingers. After getting to the airport, we waited, then got on the plane. Shawn smiled at me.

"Are you excited for Paris, my love?" Shawn asked. I nodded, a huge smile on my face.

"Of course I am! Are we going to go to the Eiffel tower?" I asked. Shawn leaned towards me and put his index finger underneath my chin.

"Do you really think that I would bring my girl to Paris and not bring her to the Eiffel tower?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No." I said. He kissed my cheek. I puckered up my lips, causing him to chuckle at first, but then he put his lips on mine. I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks.

"I adore you Y/n." Shawn said when we pulled away.

"I adore you too Shawny." I said. I picked his hand up and kissed his fingers, my eyes fluttering shut as my lips made contact with his skin. I looked at him and he had a loving gaze on his face as he looked at me. He raised one of his shoulders up and then put it back down.

"Come here." He said. I knew what he wanted, so I put my head on his shoulder as we held hands. I turned my head, kissed his shoulder, and then rested my head against his shoulder again. After what felt like just a few minutes, but was actually a few hours, Shawn woke me up by gently shaking me.

"Huh?" I asked.

"We're here." He said. I was still a little groggy, so I sat up slowly, and Shawn watched as I stood up and stretched. Shawn held my hand and we got off the plane and got our luggage.

"Oh, my mom told me to text her when we landed." I said. Shawn nodded and I texted my mom to tell her that Shawn and I had landed.

"Ready?" Shawn asked me as I put my phone back in my pocket. I nodded as I interlaced my fingers with his.

"Yeah." I said. One of Shawn's security guards, Jake, was nearby.

"There's some fans over there. Do you mind if I take a few pictures with them?" Shawn asked me. I shook my head as I waved my hand.

"That's fine baby." I said before yawning. Shawn chuckled, kissed my cheek, and then went to the fans. I smiled and waved at them, and some of them smiled and waved back.

"Y/n! Can we get a picture with you too?" Someone asked. No fan had asked for a picture with me before, so I was surprised, but of course I said yes.

"Yeah!" I said before going over to them. We took the picture and I noticed Shawn nearby, smiling at me. When he came over to the fans who had just taken a picture with me, I noticed that his smile was a bit wider.

"That was so cute that you guys took a picture with my girl!" Shawn said to them before taking a picture with them. After taking the picture, Shawn gently grabbed my hand, and we left for the hotel. We entered the room as I yawned for the millionth time.

"Please tell me we're going to rest now. I'm so tired." I said. Shawn chuckled and then kissed my forehead.

"Sit on the bed sweetheart." Shawn said. I did as told and smiled gratefully as he began to take off my shoes and socks. He carefully took my shirt and pants off of me before going to my suitcase and getting my pajamas, which he then put on me.

"Thank you." I whispered. Shawn gave me a sweet kiss on the lips as I gently held his face in my hands.

"You're welcome, my love. If you stand up, I'll pull the blankets back and you can lay down." Shawn said. I nodded and stood up. Shawn pulled the blankets down and I laid down. Shawn covered me up, and then got in on his side of the bed.

"I'm not used to traveling to a different time zone." I said as Shawn and I cuddled up to each other. Shawn wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead again.

"I know baby. Rest bunny. I'll be here when you wake up." He said. I tapped my finger against him three times, too tired to tell him I love him. I smiled when I felt him tap me three times back. I drifted off to sleep. The next morning, I woke up to a smiling Shawn. When he saw that I was awake, his smile widened, and he brushed some hair out of my face.

"Good morning handsome." I said as I felt his fingertips against my skin.

"Good morning beautiful. How did you sleep?" He asked as I scooted closer to him and placed a kiss on his chin.

"Good, I slept through the night. What about you? How did you sleep?" I asked.

"I slept good too. I always sleep better when I'm with you. Today is a relaxing day, tomorrow we'll start our adventures, sound good darling?" Shawn asked. I nodded my head against his chest.

"Yeah. I'm hungry." I said as I began to get up. Shawn chuckled and started to get up as well.

"How about I have some breakfast sent to our room? Do you want pancakes?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes please." I said. Shawn ordered our breakfast and then we got dressed, brushed our hair, brushed our teeth, and then sat on the couch in our hotel room. Shawn kissed my temple a few times before resting his head against mine.

"I'm so happy to be here with you Y/n. I love you so much." Shawn said. I smiled and gently grabbed his fingers.

"I love you too. More than anything." I said. He turned his head a bit, but we kept our heads resting together as I played with his long fingers. I let go of his fingers and moved myself so I was straddling his lap. He smiled at me as he rested his hands on my waist.

"I like this view." He said with a little hum. I blushed, causing him to chuckle. I let my fingers tangle in his luscious locks before ducking down to place my lips on his. My hands went to the back of his head as his hands rested on my lower back. Just like always, my eyes fluttered shut when I felt his soft lips against my slightly chapped ones. The kiss was slow and loving and perfect and I couldn't help but smile a bit when I felt his thumb rub my back as we kissed. Shawn smiled too and we pulled away from each other. I kissed his nose before moving to sit next to him again.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." He said. There was a knock at the door.

"I got it." I said. I got up, got our food, and brought it back in.

"This looks delicious." Shawn said as he began to cut up his pancakes. I nodded as I cut up mine as well.

"It really does. Your kisses are so perfect by the way." I said. Shawn smiled.

"You think so?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. They're not rushed, they're not lustful. They're slow and loving. You always take your time kissing me and I can always tell that you're putting all of your love into the kisses." I said. Shawn smiled at me and gave me another kiss.

"I love kissing you." Shawn said. I smiled and blushed at his words. We talked a bit as we ate. Once we were done eating, we turned to each other.

"What are we going to do today?" I asked.

"Are there any movies you want to watch?" He asked as he grabbed his laptop. I thought for a moment.

"Um, well, there's one movie that I've always loved, ever since I was little and I've always loved the soundtrack too, but if you don't want to watch it or listen to it, we don't have to." I said. Shawn frowned as he turned his body to me a bit more. I looked down. Usually, when he asks me what movie I want to watch, I give him a firm answer, or we start looking at Netflix or Hulu or something. This was the first time that he had seen me hesitant like this. He put his index finger underneath my chin so I was looking at him, and I could see the confusion and a little bit of worry on his face.

"Why wouldn't I want to watch this movie?" He asked me. I sighed and shrugged.

"I don't know." I whispered as I looked down again.

"I think you do know, you're just not telling me. You can tell me anything sweetheart, you know that." He whispered back. I sighed again and nodded.

"Yeah. Um, so, the movie, Fiddler On The Roof, is a bit long. It's about three hours, but I've always loved it. I've been watching it since I was little. When I got older, I realized that what happened in the movie, that's what might have happened to my family. I know this is a spoiler, but in the movie, it's about Judaism, and it's about antisemitic, and the people get kicked out of their village just because they're Jewish. We don't know why my family left their home country because my great grandmother and her siblings would never talk about it. Basically, this movie is really important to me, I love it a lot, and I love the soundtrack a lot. And, um..." I said.

"And what? It's just me sweetheart." Shawn said as he gently squeezed my hand, urging me to continue.

"There was one day I was in the car with my grandmother and my ex boyfriend. My grandmother has the soundtrack to Fiddler On The Roof on CD, so she put the CD in and we were listening to it. A few songs played and I asked my ex what he thought of it. I loved it, but he just shrugged and told me he didn't care about it and that he had been tuning it out the whole time." I said. Shawn's eyes widened and he pulled me in for a hug.

"Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry. I would never do that to you, you know that right?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said as he pulled away from the hug to hold my face.

"Whenever you want to play any song for me, I will always listen to it. I will never tune it out. Where can we watch the movie?" He asked.

"You want to watch it?" I asked.

"You said this movie is important to you, and you're important to me, so we're going to watch this movie." He said. I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you." I said before kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome." He said. We pulled up Amazon Prime and watched the movie together. As it went along, I would look over at Shawn every once in a while to see his reaction to things, and he always had a smile on his face as he paid attention to the movie. When it came to an end, I turned to him.

"What did you think?" I asked.

"I loved it. It was really good and I liked the music too." He said. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

"Good, I'm glad. Thank you for watching it with me." I said. Shawn gave me a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Anything for you baby." He said.

"So what are we doing tomorrow? Are we going to the Eiffel tower?" I asked as I cuddled myself into Shawn's side. He wrapped his arms around me, keeping me safe in his hold as I closed my eyes, my head resting on his chest.

"Yup. I was thinking we could exchange presents when we wake up, and then we could go to the Louvre, have some adventures, walk around, and then tomorrow night we'll go to the Eiffel tower when it's all lit up and we'll come back here, get dressed up, and go out to dinner. Does that sound good?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"That sounds perfect. I brought a couple of dresses with me." I said as Shawn began to rub my back. I relaxed more into his touch.

"Perfect, I can't wait to see them. You're so beautiful, my love." Shawn said.

"You're so handsome." I said. We spent the rest of the day together, relaxing in our hotel room. Later on, we cuddled in bed and fell asleep together. The next morning, I woke up to a sleeping Shawn. I smiled at him, he looked so peaceful, and then closed my eyes again. I couldn't fall back asleep, so I ended up just opening my eyes and, even though it was probably creepy, just looking at Shawn. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be able to wake up to him. I kept my chin on his chest and watched as he scrunched up his nose for a moment before letting it go back to its natural state. After a little bit, he began to stir. His eyes fluttered open and he looked at me. When he saw I was awake, a smile spread across his face, and of course I smiled back.

"Happy six month anniversary bunny." He said.

"Happy six month anniversary baby." I said as I moved myself to kiss his cheek. He rubbed my back as we laid there, and when I kissed his cheek, I heard him hum in contentment.

"Y/n?" Shawn asked.

"Yes my love?" I responded.

"Will you, um, will you rub my head?" Shawn asked, his face turning red. I smiled and kissed his cheek again.

"Of course I will. Never be embarrassed to ask me that. I would love to rub your head baby." I said. Shawn smiled.

"Thank you. By the way, don't check Instagram or Twitter yet. I have something to show you later." Shawn said.

"Okay Shawny." I said. I kissed his chin and began to rub his head. He smiled at me and I watched as his eyes fluttered shut at my touch. He kept his hand on my back as I pushed his curls off of his forehead and then gently massaged his head. He let out a sigh as my thumb rubbed his forehead and I felt him move his head into my touch more, wanting more of it.

"This feels perfect." He whispered.

"I'll keep doing it." I whispered back. He turned his head and placed a kiss on my arm. I smiled at him even though his eyes were closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked into mine.

"Y/n, kiss me." He said.

"I probably have morning breath." I said.

"I don't care about that. Come here." He said. I put my hand on his cheek and put my lips on his. The kiss was loving and sweet and went on for a while. Shawn and I pulled away to catch our breaths. He gently nudged me so I was laying on my back and he laid on top of me. I held his face in my hands as I let his tongue enter my mouth. My legs wrapped around his waist as we both let out little moans for each other as we made out. I tugged at his shirt, wanting it off. He let me pull it off of him and I threw it on the floor.

"Shawn, baby, please." I said. He nodded, knowing what I wanted. We undressed each other, I put the condom on him, and we made love, our bodies fitting together perfectly as we showed each other how much we love one another. He rested his forehead against mine the whole time, our eyes locked and our lips grazing together as our moans for each other filled the room. Afterwards, he kissed my forehead, and we got dressed and brushed our teeth.

"Should we exchange gifts now bunny?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes! Oh I hope you like what I got you." I said as I went to my suitcase and got his presents out as he got his presents for me out from his suitcase.

"I'm going to love whatever you got me darling, I always love your presents." Shawn said. Shawn and I sat down on the couch and faced each other. He knows that I'm impatient, so I handed him his presents to open first.

"Here you go babe." I said as I handed them to him. He smiled and opened the little box first. His eyes widened at the sight of the personalized guitar pick that I had gotten him. On one side was a picture of him and I, on the other side it said "I pick you!"

"Oh my gosh! I love this! Thank you so much!" Shawn said as he flipped it over and over in his hands.

"I'm glad you love it." I said with a smile. He looked up at me.

"There's no way that I can use this during a concert. What if I accidentally throw it into the crowd? I'll use it during sound check." He said. I nodded.

"Okay baby. Do you want your next present?" I asked. Shawn nodded and I handed him the shirt. He smiled and laughed when he read what it said: "May your mercury be more Freddie and less retrograde."

"I love it." He said. I gave him a kiss before grabbing his next present.

"This one, I want you to take with you when you travel and we're away from each other. When you're in the studio and you're on the other side of the country from me, or when you're on tour and we're continents away from each other... I want you to take this with you." I said before placing the small box in his hand. He opened it up and I noticed his eyes well with tears. It was a silver key chain that said "Wherever you go... come back to me."

"I will always come back to you Y/n. Always." He said before pulling me in for a hug and a kiss.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too. Ready for your presents?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yes!" I said, excited. He chuckled and handed me a bag.

"Here you go." He said. The first thing I pulled out was a silver bracelet with coordinates on it. I looked at the coordinates and then at Shawn.

"What are the coordinates to? It's a beautiful bracelet." I asked and said.

"Those are the coordinates to where we met." He said with a smile. My eyes widened.

"Really? Oh my gosh, will you help put it on me? I can't get the clasp." I said. He nodded and put it on me.

"There you go baby. Now you'll always have Dunkin Donuts with you." He said as I giggled. I reached into the bag again and pulled out a coffee mug with a quote on it "A reader lives a thousand lives."

"I love it!" I said. Shawn kissed my cheek.

"Good, I'm glad. There's one more thing in there." He said. I reached in and pulled out the last present. My eyes went huge when I saw what it was.

"A personal library kit? This is incredible! Oh my gosh!" I said. Shawn laughed.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"I love it!" I said.

"Good, I have one more present for you, close your eyes for me darling." He said.

"Okay." I said. I put the presents aside and closed my eyes. I heard Shawn moving around, and then felt him place his hand on my knee.

"You can open your eyes again baby." He said. I opened my eyes and saw Shawn's laptop in front of us on the coffee table. It was open to a YouTube video on his YouTube channel, which was paused on his smiling face. I leaned forward and read the title of the video.

"Happy six month anniversary Y/n!" The title read. I looked at Shawn, who had a huge smile on his face.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Ready to watch?" He asked. I nodded, confused.

"Yeah." I said. He unpaused the video and the video of him on the screen came to life.

"Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n, I have always told you that I would love to make you a cute video. It's our six month anniversary, and I'm taking my opportunity. These past six months have been nothing short of magical and I'm the luckiest man alive to be with such an incredible woman, and the mornings that I'm able to wake up to your gorgeous face are the best mornings ever. You're beautiful, strong, powerful, and there's no one quite like you sweetheart. I'm so proud to be your boyfriend and to be able to stand beside in life and in love. Happy six month anniversary my love, here's to forever together. I love you more than anything and I hope you love this video." Shawn said before blowing a kiss to the camera. I looked at him and kissed his cheek, happy tears running down my own cheeks, before turning back to his laptop.

"Oh my gosh." I said. Love Someone by Lukas Graham started to play while pictures and videos began to play.

Obviously Shawn had put our first picture in there as the first picture to come up, followed by more pictures and videos of us. As the music continued to play, more pictures and videos were shown. Videos of us dancing, pictures of us cuddling. I hadn't realized how many pictures Shawn had of me reading, but apparently he had quite a few, even one that he took at Barnes and Noble while I was looking for new books. There was a Snapchat video of Shawn dancing in the car before he turned the camera to me as I drove, completely focused on the road.

The song came to an end, and XO by John Mayer began to play. There was a video of me driving, the wind blowing my hair back before I giggled at Shawn for filming me. Shawn had put it on Snapchat with the caption "Can someone please tell me how she's so effortlessly beautiful? WOW I'm the luckiest man alive!!" A couple of weeks ago, Shawn and I had gone to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Shawn took pictures of me in the sunlight, and we took pictures together. He took a picture of me looking at the artwork and captioned it "Artwork looking at artwork." which of course made me blush. He added in the video that he had taken where you could see my finger tracing his lips. He smiled at me before you could see me burying my face in the crook of his neck, causing his smile to widen. He kissed the tip of my nose as he rubbed the back of my head and I rubbed his cheek.

As John Mayer sang his beautiful song, pictures and videos of Shawn and I continued to show. I loved the pictures and videos from just a week or so before, when he came with my mom, my brother and I to Maine so he could meet my grandparents. He had woken up really early to come with me to the beach so we could watch the sunrise together. My mom took a picture of us, my back against Shawn's chest, as we smiled at the camera. Shawn had taken a picture of the beautiful sunrise featuring mine and his tangled feet. Later on, when we all went back to the beach, Shawn took a video of the water before aiming his phone at me. I was sitting on the beach towel in my one piece bathing suit eating a piece of watermelon.

A few more pictures and videos played, the last picture being Shawn's favorite picture of me. It was the picture he took of me when we went out to dinner for my twenty first birthday. I was wearing the red, strapless jumpsuit that Shawn had picked out for me, my hair was curled - Shawn had been very excited about that - and I was wearing the ring, bracelet, and necklace that he had gotten me. I had been wearing light makeup, and was smiling at him, my chin resting in the palm of my hand. The screen faded to black before Shawn's face came back on the screen.

"Happy six month anniversary Y/n. I love you." Shawn said with a smile before blowing another kiss to the camera. The video came to an end and I had happy tears running down my face. I turned to Shawn, who was smiling at me.

"I have no words. Wow. I love you." I said. He kissed me and then wiped my tears away with the back of his hand.

"I love you too baby. Did you like the video?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yes! I loved it. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for that." I said. He gave me another kiss, this one was longer than just a quick kiss, and I could tell that he was putting all of his love into the kiss. We eventually pulled away, but not before Shawn stole one more kiss.

"We should get ready for the Louvre." He said. I nodded and stood up.

"Yeah. What should I wear?" I asked as I went to my suitcase.

"Whatever you want darling. You're gorgeous no matter what." He said. I looked at him with a smile as I blushed, which of course made him chuckle. He put on the Freddie Mercury shirt that I had just gotten him, with some black skinny jeans. I put on dark blue jeans, a black, lace tank top, and a leopard print cardigan to go over it. I did light makeup and put on some beige boots.

"Shawn? How do I look?" I asked as I stepped towards him. He put his hands on my waist and smiled at me as I wrapped my arms around his neck and shoulders.

"Gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, breathtaking, just like always. I love you." Shawn said. He gave me a kiss and rubbed my back a little bit before we pulled away. He gently nudged his nose against mine.

"You look so handsome. We should get going." I said. He nodded. Shawn, his security guard, Jake, and I, then left for the Louvre. Jake stayed a little bit behind us, but still safely near us when we got there.

"Alright babe, ready for another surprise?" Shawn asked.

"Another one? Oh my gosh." I said. Shawn smiled.

"Well, there's a couple of exhibits here that can get a bit busy, so I bought the tickets a couple of months ago." Shawn said. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.

"But you didn't even mention Paris until a couple of weeks ago." I said.

"Yeah, but I knew that you wanted to come here. What do you think?" He asked. I placed my hand on his cheek and gave him a kiss.

"I think you're the most wonderful man and I'm the luckiest girl in the world." I said. He smiled, we interlaced our fingers, and went in. We got to see the Mona Lisa, and Shawn had gotten tickets to see the Body and Soul exhibit and the Advent of the Artist exhibit. Shawn and I took pictures in the museum, and he took a few pictures of just me looking around. Jake took a picture of us outside of the Louvre when our visit was over. I took a picture of Jake and Shawn together and, with their permission, posted it on my Instagram story. "Jake is the best third wheel we could ever ask for." I wrote.

"I'm thinking of changing my Instagram bio." Shawn said when we were in the car on the way back to the hotel.

"What would you change it to?" I asked.

"Singer, songwriter, fan page for @yourusername" Shawn said with a smirk. I laughed and shook my head.

"You're crazy." I said.

"Yeah, but it's true, right? It's a joke but it's true because I love posting pictures of you." He said. I smiled and kissed his hand.

"Whatever you want to do baby." I said. He smiled and took out his phone and went to Instagram. I watched as he changed his bio.

"Singer, songwriter, sometimes a fan page for @yourusername" He wrote and then showed it to me. I smiled and nodded.

"Perfect. You're so cute." I said. I then realized something. "Some of your fans aren't going to like that."

"Oh well. It's my life, my Instagram, my girl. Don't worry darling." He said. I nodded and we soon arrived back at the hotel. I grabbed the dress I would be wearing and went in the bathroom to get dressed. It was a blush colored dress with a floral pattern on it. I put on blush colored heels, and fixed my makeup. I stuck my head out of the bathroom door. Shawn's back was to me but I could see that he was getting into a suit.

"Shawn? Should I curl my hair or not?" I asked.

"I would love it if you curled it, but it's up to you sweetheart. You'll take my breath away no matter what." He said. I smiled and went back into the bathroom to curl my hair. Once I was done I stepped out. I tapped Shawn on the shoulder, and when he turned around, his jaw was practically on the floor. He held my hands in his and took a step back so he could look me up and down.

"What do you think?" I asked. His eyes met mine and I noticed the tears in his eyes even though he had a smile on his face.

"You look so beautiful. I'm the luckiest man alive. Wow you're breathtaking. Six months baby. Wow." He said before gently pulling me in for a hug. He held me close to him and buried his face in my hair.

"Why do you have tears in your eyes babe?" I asked. He pulled away from the hug but cupped my face in his big hands. He looked so beyond handsome in his black suit and tie with black boots.

"I'm just so lucky and blown away by you. You're so strong, you've been through so much in your life, yet you still smile and I'm so proud of you for everything that you've overcome." He said. I smiled at his and turned my head so I could kiss the palm of his hand.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too. Come on, let's get going." He said. I nodded and we left to go to the Eiffel tower.

"I'm so excited!" I said as I clapped my hands together. Shawn chuckled. A few minutes later we arrived and I gasped at the sight of the Eiffel tower in front of us lit up so beautifully. I couldn't help but stand there and stare at it as Shawn stood next to me, holding my hand as he stared at it as well. I felt him wrap his arm around my waist and I wrapped my arm around him too before turning to him. His smile was loving as he kissed my forehead and then my lips.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I said. Shawn turned to Jake.

"Are we going up?" Shawn asked.

"If that's what you guys want. I just took some pictures of you guys." Jake said.

"Really? Can I see them please?" I asked with a smile. Jake showed us the pictures and I had tears in my eyes when I looked at them. You could see the Eiffel tower beautifully lit up as Shawn held my hand in one picture, wrapped his arm around me in another, and kissed my forehead in another.

"Do you want me to send these to you guys?" He asked. Shawn and I nodded.

"Yes please." We said. Jake sent them to us and Shawn, Jake and I went in the Eiffel tower. Shawn held my hand the whole time and he kept rubbing my hand with his thumb. Soon, we reached the top.

"Come here darling." Shawn said. He wrapped one of his arms around my waist and I put my hand on his chest. We took two pictures, one where we were looking at the camera, the other where we were smiling at each other. After the pictures, we went back down to the second floor where there was a fancy restaurant called Le Jules Verne. Shawn had already made reservations a couple of months before.

"I think this is one of the most beautiful dinners we've ever had." I said. Shawn nodded and then raised his glass of wine and I did the same. I smiled as he made a toast.

"To the best six months of our lives, and to a lifetime together." He said. I nodded, a huge smile on my face.

"To us." I said. His smile widened and he clinked our glasses gently before we took sips of our wine.

"You look so beautiful darling." Shawn said a little bit later in our conversation. I smiled.

"Thank you baby. You look so handsome. Have I ever seen you wear a tie before? I don't think I've seen you in a tie before." I said. He chuckled and shook his head.

"Maybe in pictures but no, I think this is the first time you've seen it in person. What do you think? Should I wear ties more often?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I like it a lot. It looks good on you babe." I said.

"Thank you sweetheart." He said.

"You're welcome. Um, now that I've seen you in a tie, I have a question for you." I said with a smile. Shawn clasped his hands together, and leaned forward.

"And what would that question be?" He asked.

"When we get married, if you wear a tie, can I pick it out for you please? I don't know why but I really want to pick out your tie for our wedding day." I said as my face turned a little red. Shawn smiled and nodded.

"I would love it if you picked out my tie for our wedding day baby." He said.

"Really?" I said, my smile growing. He chuckled at my obvious excitement and nodded. After dinner, we strolled around the Eiffel tower a little bit. I soon realized that walking around in heels this much was a very bad idea. I gripped Shawn's arm as my feet began to hurt a lot.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" He asked, worry in his voice.

"My feet hurt a lot. I shouldn't be walking around this much in heels. Can we go back to the hotel please? My feet are killing me." I asked and said.

"Yeah, of course, hold onto me darling." Shawn said before telling Jake it was time to go. One of my hands was holding Shawn's, my other hand was holding his arm. I held Shawn tight as each step was painful.

"I'm sorry if I'm gripping your hand and your arm too tight, it just hurts a lot." I said.

"It's okay baby, grip as tight as you need to. We're almost at the car." He said. We soon got to the car and drove to the hotel. As soon as we got in our room, I sat on the bed as Shawn took off my heels which revealed a few cuts on my feet.

"I don't know why I thought I could walk around in heels." I said.

"It's okay sweetheart. Let me help you out of your dress and then I'll clean this up for you." Shawn said. I nodded and he helped me. I winced as he cleaned the cuts. "I know baby, I'm trying to make it as painless as possible." He said. I nodded.

"I know, I'm sorry." I said.

"You're fine baby. Just relax." He said. I nodded. My phone was nearby so I reached for it.

"Do you mind if I post those pictures that Jake sent us?" I asked in between winces. Shawn shook his head.

"I don't mind, that's fine. Are you going to write one of your beautiful captions?" Shawn asked with a smile, his eyes glancing up at me. I nodded with a blush.

"Yeah. You really think my captions are beautiful?" I asked.

"Of course I do. You always say that I'm good with words but you're also good with words, whether it's an Instagram caption or an essay. Whatever it is, you're good with words." Shawn said. I smiled at him and then went to Instagram and posted those three beautiful photos that Jake had taken at the Eiffel tower of Shawn and I holding hands, Shawn with his arm around my waist, and Shawn kissing my forehead.

"Happy six month anniversary to my sweetest love. Shawn, you have seen me in my darkest moments, you have seen me in my brightest moments, you have seen me in every single possible way that I am, yet you still choose me, accept me, and above all, love me. I can never put into words how grateful I am for you, your unwavering love and support. Life with you is never boring, whether we're dancing around your place to Taylor Swift, watching the sunrise together in Maine, going to a museum, no matter what we do, you make it fun and exciting and unforgettable. You bring out the best in me baby. I love you times infinity! Happy six month anniversary! (Photo cred to Jake. We love you!)

"P.S. Thank you for the beautiful video and for watching Fiddler On The Roof with me Shawny! You're the best." I wrote in the caption before I hit post. Shawn finished cleaning the cuts on my feet and then looked at me.

"There you go darling. How do you feel?" He asked.

"Better. Thank you." I said as I leaned forward to give him a kiss. He hummed into the kiss.

"You're welcome sweetheart. Can't have my girl in pain. Be careful in the morning when you walk on them, they might still be sore." He said. I nodded.

"Okay. I made my post." I said. He smiled and gave me another kiss before looking at it. He liked the post, commented on it, and then showed me the comment.

"I love you so much my love. Life with you is incredible and I'm so proud to be your man. I loved watching Fiddler On The Roof with you!!! You were so excited and it was so cute!" He commented. I smiled.

"That's so cute. I love it." I said.

"I'm going to make my post now. You can't see it until I've posted it." He said. I giggled and nodded.

"Whatever you say Shawny." I said. A little bit later, he made his post. He had posted the pictures that Jake took of him and I at the top of the Eiffel tower. The first one was of us looking at the camera, the second one was of us smiling at each other. I read his caption.

"Six of the most magical months with the most magical girl by my side. Six months of hearing you say the most interesting things in your sleep, six months of your curious questions, six months of hearing you ramble when you're nervous and then kissing you to get you to stop rambling, six months of watching your eyes light up when you talk about things that you love, six months of your silly, goofy, sassy self, six months of loving you, six of the greatest months of my life, and I want six million more months with you. Life with you is the sweetest and I can't wait for the rest of our adventures together. I love you so, so, so much bunny! Happy six month anniversary. Six months down, forever to go!" Shawn wrote. I smiled at him.

"Beautiful. I love it." I said before liking the post and commenting hearts on it and that I love him too.

"Come here baby." He said as he laid down with me. He had changed into his pajamas as well. There was a question I wanted to ask him but I was nervous. I scooted closer to him and kissed his chin before looking up at him.

"Shawn?" I asked as I placed one of my hands near his chin. He instantly began to rub my arm, his forehead resting against mine. We weren't going to bed yet, and the lights were still on so we could still see each other.

"Hm?" He responded.

"I want to ask you something but I'm nervous." I said, my voice coming out in a whisper. Shawn kissed my forehead as he continued to rub my arm. He looked at me.

"It's just me sweetheart. You don't have to be nervous about anything. You can tell me anything and you can ask me anything, you know that." He said. I nodded, my forehead resting against his.

"Yeah. Um, when do you, um, when do you think we'll move in together? I was just thinking, because, you know, we sleep better when we're together, and if we live together we would be sleeping together but if you don't want to live together -" I rambled before Shawn kissed me to shut me up, just like he had said in his caption. He held my face as he kissed me and then pulled away to look at me.

"How about this: when we get back to Massachusetts, we'll start looking for a place. Does that sound good?" He asked.

"Really?" I asked, my eyes wide as excitement filled my body. He smiled and nodded.

"Yup. You're right sweetheart, we do sleep better when we're together and I would love to live with you. We've basically already been living together for the past a little over a month and I've loved it. What about you? Have you liked it?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Of course! I've loved it! Um, I have a couple of other questions." I said as Shawn kissed the palm of my hand.

"Ask away baby." He said. I smiled.

"Um, with my school and work being in Massachusetts, where would we live?" I asked.

"I would move to Massachusetts for you. I don't want you disrupting your schooling for me." He said.

"Are you sure? I don't want to take you away from your family or anything." I said.

"You wouldn't be taking me away from anyone or anything, I promise." He said.

"Okay, um, what about bills? My job is only during the school year, and with car payments and tuition I'm not sure how much I can afford." I said.

"I'll take care of it. I can afford it, and I don't want you worrying about that. You've already got enough on your plate babe." He said.

"But I want to help pay for something. I don't want all of it to fall on you." I said. He shook his head.

"Sweetheart, you have car payments and tuition to take care of, let me take care of the rest. I don't mind doing it. Hell, if I had it my way I'd be paying your tuition too." Shawn said. I sighed.

"You're fine with paying the bills?" I asked.

"Yup." He said. I nodded.

"Okay." I said. He smiled and gave me a kiss.

"Thank you darling." He said.

"You're welcome." I said. We laid in bed for a bit longer, just talking as we cuddled and exchanged a few kisses every once in a while. Eventually we turned off the lights and fell asleep in each other's arms.

In the morning, I woke up before Shawn did. I felt restless so I got up - I was careful about my feet like Shawn said - and checked my phone. Someone had posted a clip of Shawn and I walking around the night before. He was dressed in his suit and my dress was flowing back as my hair blew back in the breeze.

"Y/n's out here looking like Shawn's princess." The caption said. I liked the post and then went to my own post from last night. I looked at the comments, and not all of them were nice.

"They have to be pr. They post about each other waaay too much for them to be real." The person said. I frowned, hurt and upset by the comment. I hit reply.

"Nope, not pr! Just very in love and very proud to show each other off. It's such a wonderful feeling when you're dating your best friend and soulmate." I said, trying to kill them with kindness. I kept scrolling and saw another nasty comment.

"They're not going to last a month." It said. I hit reply again.

"We've already lasted for six months lmao what do you expect? Also, you guys are only getting glimpses of us, you guys don't see what we're like when it's just the two of us. He's my best friend and no one understands me better than him. This is a forever type of love." I wrote. I scrolled a bit more.

"Let go of him so he can get back into the studio and give us music." Someone wrote. I held back a sassy comment about the fact that I was too busy inspiring that music. I knew that the music Shawn was writing was about me, he had told me that and he had played some of the songs for me. Shawn soon woke up and smiled at me.

"Good morning gorgeous." He said. I got up and instantly crawled into his lap as he sat up against the headboard of the bed. He smiled, obviously liking the fact that I was in his lap as he put his hands on my waist.

"I'm feeling sassy right now." I said. He chuckled.

"Oh really?" He asked, his morning voice evident and sexy. I nodded and showed him my phone. I had screenshot the comment about letting Shawn go so he could go to the studio and make music.

"I really want to comment back and tell them that I'm too busy inspiring that music." I said. Shawn laughed.

"I love it when you're sassy. Do whatever you want baby." He said. I smiled and kissed his cheek. I somehow found the comment again and responded to them.

"Sorry. I've been busy inspiring that music." I commented. Shawn also responded, but to my comment.

"I love it when you're sassy." He wrote. I giggled and gave him a kiss.

"What are we doing today?" I asked.

"What do you want to do?" He asked. I thought for a moment.

"I want to see historical places. What about Napoleon's tomb? Where's that?" I asked as I got off of his lap. He shrugged.

"I'm not sure." He said. I grabbed my laptop and began to google where Napoleon's tomb was as Shawn ordered our breakfast. We found out that it was at a museum called Les Invalides. After breakfast, we got ready and went to the museum. I've always loved history, and I was in complete awe when we saw Napoleon's tomb.

"When I was a freshman in high school, I learned in history class that because of the way his tomb is set up, when you look at it, you either have to tilt your head up towards it, or if you're above it, you kind of have to look down at it as if you're bowing down a bit." I said to Shawn. He nodded.

"Wow. You like it here baby?" He asked with a smile. I nodded as I looked at him, a big smile on my face.

"Yeah. Thank you for coming with me." I said. Shawn kissed my hand as he looked at me.

"Of course darling." He said. We continued to walk through the museum and found our way into the section about Charles de Gaulle, France's former president. The museum was big and I was in awe of all of it. Shawn and I went to the gift shop before we left.

"What should I get? Oh my gosh, look at this pillow." I said. There was a pillow with a dog's face on it, but the dog was dressed up.

"That's hilarious. Baby, you've always told me that when we move in together, you want a room filled with books with a cozy chair and cozy pillows. Should we get this pillow?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Oh look at this scarf." I said. We got a few more things and then went back to the hotel.

"Do you want to know where we're going tomorrow?" Shawn asked when we got back to the hotel. I nodded excitedly.

"Yes!" I said.

"We're going to Versailles." He said. My eyes widened and I tackled him in a hug to the point where he fell back.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I said as I kissed all over his face. He laughed and then I sat up, a huge smile on my face.

"You're adorable. We're going to be spending the whole day there, explore the gardens and the castle and whatever you want. Make sure you wear good shoes because we're going to be walking around a lot." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay. Oh my gosh I'm so excited!" I said. Shawn laughed.

"I can tell." He said. The next day I got up early to get ready for the day. I put on black and white striped pants and a black tank top and white vans. I put my hair up in a bun and did some light some makeup. I put on my rings, bracelets, my watch, and the necklace that Shawn got me for my birthday. I then realized it was too soon for me to have my shoes on and kicked them off. I went out to the balcony of our hotel room to watch the beautiful sunrise. I brought my knees to my chest and sat there, taking everything in. After a little bit, I heard the door to the balcony open. I turned and saw Shawn stepping out.

"Hi handsome." I said with a smile.

"Hi gorgeous. How long have you been awake for?" He asked. I stood up and gestured for him to sit down. When he sat down, I sat on his lap.

"I've been awake for about an hour or so. I'm really excited for today." I said as Shawn held me securely in his lap and we looked out at the view.

"Me too baby. You look beautiful." He said. I blushed and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you my love. I'm going to wear my vans today. That should be enough support to walk around in, right?" I asked as I felt Shawn rub my back. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Yeah, that should be perfect. It's still too early to leave. What should we do in the meantime?" Shawn asked.

"Well this back rub is feeling absolutely perfect right now." I said. Shawn chuckled as he continued to rub my back.

"I love you darling." He said.

"I love you too. Thank you for this trip. It's been unforgettable." I said. Shawn kissed my nose before responding.

"You're welcome baby. I'm glad you've loved it, I have too." He said. Later on, we got our shoes on, Shawn got ready, and after breakfast, we left for Versailles. We entered the palace and I was instantly blown away by the beauty of it. We walked through the palace, taking all of it in. I couldn't get over the details of all of the beautiful artwork throughout the palace. Shawn and I eventually went to the gardens where I was once again blown away by the beauty of everything. I squeezed Shawn's hand three times and he squeezed back three times, one of our ways of saying I love you to each other.

"This is incredible." I said.

"It really is. Come here sweetheart, I want to take a picture with you." Shawn said. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we rested our heads together as we took a selfie, the beautiful views of the garden of Versailles behind us, our smiles huge, happy to be in a beautiful place with each other. Shawn and I took quite a few pictures while we were there, wanting to capture the beauty of everything. Later on, we stopped by the gift shop where I got books that had been translated into English, and then we left for our hotel again.

"My feet are killing me again. We were walking around so much." I said as I plopped myself down on our bed. Shawn chuckled, took my shoes off of me, and crawled onto the bed so he was hovering over me. He began to kiss me and we made love for the rest of the day. The next day we had nothing planned, so Shawn and I were intimate again before we showered together and relaxed together in bed.

"This vacation has been so perfect." Shawn said as we cuddled in bed, dressed in shorts and tank tops. My head was on his chest as I nodded.

"It really has been." I said before kissing his chin. I closed my eyes, the feeling of Shawn's thumb rubbing my shoulder soothing me even more. "Shawny?"

"Yes darling?" He asked. I lifted my head up and put my chin on his chest. He looked at me with one arm behind his head and a content smile on his face.

"When we start looking for a place when we get back to Massachusetts, are we going to get an apartment or a house?" I asked. Shawn thought for a moment.

"How about we start with an apartment and when we get engaged or married, we buy a house?" Shawn asked. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, that sounds perfect. We would need a place near my school." I said as Shawn rubbed the back of my head. He nodded.

"Don't worry baby, we'll find the perfect place. I promise." He said. I nodded.

"Okay. I love you." I said. His smile widened.

"I love you too Y/n." He said. The rest of our vacation was wonderful and when we got back to Massachusetts, we found a perfect apartment that was near my school and work. I'm so grateful for Shawn, his love, and our vacations together.
