My boyfriend of almost seven months is the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes. As a songwriter, of course he gets inspiration all the time, so sometimes I'll see him writing things down in the notes app on his phone. However, he hasn't been in the studio lately. It's the summer, our first full summer together, and Shawn and I have been busy spending a lot of time together. We went to Paris, we've been to a bunch of museums, we went to Maine, we've moved in together, and of course, we've laid or sat on our couch and watched a lot of Netflix and Hulu, just like we were doing tonight.

I was curled into Shawn's side as we lay on the couch, my head on his chest as we watched another movie. My arm was wrapped around his torso and I could feel his hand absentmindedly rubbing my back, just like usual. I picked my head up and kissed his chin before putting my head back on his chest.

"I love you baby girl." He said as he began to rub the back of my head.

"I love you too Shawny." I said. The feeling of Shawn rubbing the back of my head relaxed me to the point where I fell asleep. I woke up to Shawn groaning.

"Ugh. I can't believe this." He said. I picked my head up and saw that the movie was over and he was on his phone.

"Baby? Are you okay?" I asked.

"Did I wake you? I'm sorry." He said. I sat up and so did he.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I went on Twitter and people are upset because tour ended seven months ago and I haven't put out new music. I'm trying to make everything perfect. I've been writing songs, I just haven't been recording as much because I've just been enjoying life. I think when September starts and you go back to school, that's when I'll get back to the studio, but for now, it's summer and I want to spend time with my girl." Shawn said. I could see the stress on his face and it broke my heart. I crawled over to him and straddled his lap. He immediately put his hands on my waist as I cupped his face in my hands.

"What can I do to help you, my love?" I asked. He got a little smile on his face as he looked at me.

"Just be you. That's all I need baby." He said. I smiled at him and put my lips on his. As our lips moved in sync with each other, 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 my body like fireworks. Soon, Shawn and I went to bed and fell asleep.

The next day I got an idea. I texted my brother who, by an incredible coincidence, was taking the day off from work to relax. My brother texted Shawn asking if he wanted to hang out so they could play video games. They hadn't really hung out a lot, so when Shawn came to me and said that Thomas had texted him, I encouraged it.

"Yeah, you should hang out with him." I said, trying not to reveal my plan. Shawn had been so stressed lately and I wanted to help him. He always spoils me, but he deserves to be spoiled as well.

"But I was thinking that we could go to the park today." Shawn said.

"We can go tomorrow. Thomas has the day off today and you guys haven't really hung out a lot. Come on, it'll be fun baby." I said. Shawn finally sighed and nodded.

"Okay. I'll only be a couple of hours though." He said.

"You know what babe? I have some stuff that I'm going to do, so how about you hang out with Thomas until I text you?" I asked. Shawn smirked at me.

"You're up to something, aren't you?" He asked.

"What? No." I said as I looked down.

"Your lips just twitched which means you're lying. You're up to something." He said as he got his shoes on.

"Okay, yes I am up to something, but I can't tell you what it is." I said. He chuckled, gave me a quick kiss, and left to go hang out with my brother. I went upstairs and changed into a cobalt blue short sleeve shirt and white jeans. I put on some light makeup. I put on my blue flats, I grabbed my phone and purse and left to go to the mall. I walked into Lush, and started browsing around. I had never been there before so I was grateful when an employee came up to me.

"Hi, can I help you?" She asked.

"I've never been here before, but I'm looking for some relaxing bath bombs." I said. The lady nodded.

"Follow me." She said. She led me to a stand that had a bunch of bath bombs and showed me which ones were supposed to help with relaxation. I got a few of the tea and sympathy, flower power, sea salt giant bombshell, and the comforter bath bombs. I also got Shawn the relaxation box which had a twilight bath bomb, dream cream self preserving body lotion, sleepy shower gel, and a french kiss bubble bar. I paid for everything and went home.

I walked in the front door and went upstairs to mine and Shawn's bedroom. I put the bath bombs and the relaxation box on our bed, then went back downstairs into the kitchen. Shawn loves pasta so I instantly started making some pasta for him. I got out a couple of wine glasses and hooked my phone up to a speaker in the living room. Love songs on a playlist that I have on my spotify started playing. Once I was almost done with dinner, I texted Shawn.

Me: Babyyy! Dinner is about to be ready so get your incredible bum back home pleaseee.

My Love: LOL! On my way darlinggg!

I put the pasta on two plates and then put it on the kitchen table. I quickly grabbed some candles and put them on the table before lighting them. I stayed in the living room near the front door and after about five minutes, Shawn walked in. He smiled at me and looked around.

"What's with the music? What smells so good? Why are you all dressed up like you went out?" He asked. I smiled at him as I walked up to him and placed one of my hands on his chest and placed my other hand on his cheek and rubbed it with my thumb. He leaned into my touch as he rested his hands on my waist and he looked at me with such wonder.

"My love, I know that you've been stressed lately with the pressure of music and everything. You always spoil me, so let me spoil you. Come here." I said. I moved my hands and gently grabbed his and led him into the kitchen.

"Wow." He said when he saw the kitchen table. The plates had pasta on them, our wine glasses were filled, candles were lit, the lights were dimmed, and the music was playing. I turned to him as I continued to hold his hands in mine.

"I know how much you love pasta so I made you some, I got us some wine, and I went to Lush earlier and got you some relaxing bath bombs. After dinner, pick whatever bath bomb you want, and I'll run you a bath, and after the bath I'll give you a massage." I said. Shawn looked at me with tears in his eyes, which quickly fell on his cheeks as he pulled me in for a hug. My arms wrapped around his shoulders as his arms wrapped around my waist and he buried his face in my neck.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for this baby girl." He said as he cried happy tears. I massaged the back of his head and closed my eyes. He held me nice and tight, pressing my body as close to his as possible.

"You're welcome honey. Let's sit down and eat." I said. He lifted his head up and gave me a kiss. I gently wiped his tears away as he looked at me.

"I love you Y/n Y/l/n." He said. I smiled at him.

"I love you too Shawn Mendes." I said before guiding him to the kitchen table. We sat down across from each other and Shawn kept smiling.

"Thank you for this baby." He said as he grabbed his wine glass. He went to take a sip but I stopped him.

"Wait, before you take a sip of your wine, I want to make a toast." I said as I raised my wine glass. Shawn lifted his wine glass too.

"Oh my gosh." He said with a smile. I was going all out for him.

"This toast is for my sweet man, who is absolutely incredible and wonderful. I love you so, so, so much and tonight I just want you to relax and I'll take care of you. You are magical and wonderful and everything I've ever dreamed of and more. I love you Shawn." I said as I smiled at him. He had tears in his eyes as we clinked our glasses together and then we both took a sip of the wine. He set the wine glass down and reached his hand across the table for mine. I put my hand in his and he gently squeezed my hand three times - one of his ways of saying I love you - and I squeezed back three times before we let go and took a bite of the pasta.

"This is delicious babe." He said. I smiled at the compliment.

"Thank you Shawny. When you're done with that plate, there's more on the counter if you want seconds." I said. He nodded as he ate.

"I honestly have no clue what I did to deserve you sweetheart." Shawn said.

"I ask myself what I did to deserve you all of the time." I said. Shawn and I smiled at each other. Suddenly, he put his fork down and reached into his pocket.

"Stay just like that baby, you look absolutely gorgeous." He said as he took his phone out and aimed it at me. I smiled as he took a picture of me, and then took another picture of me looking at him as I sipped my wine, then another picture of me while taking a bite of the pasta.

"I think you got enough photos of me babe." I said. He put his phone back in his pocket as he shook his head at me.

"No, never. Tomorrow is Wednesday and I haven't posted a Woman Crush Wednesday in a while. Do you mind if I post those?" He asked. I blushed and shook my head.

"No, that's fine." I said. After Shawn was done, he went back for seconds, and I sat with him. My first plate had satisfied my hunger, so I didn't go back for more, but I still sat with my man while he ate, and we talked about anything but music.

"I had a lot of fun hanging out with Thomas. We played Super Smash Brothers and it was a lot of fun. I hadn't played that game in a while. Thomas was Yoshi and I was Mario." Shawn said. I smiled at him.

"Who won?" I asked.

"Well, we played a few rounds, so I won a couple of them and he won a couple of them too." Shawn said. I nodded and smiled as he excitedly told me all about it. To see him so happy and smiling so much after he had been so stressed lately was so wonderful. Once Shawn was done with his dinner, I picked up his plate and my plate and went to the sink. "I can help wash the dishes babe." Shawn said as he walked with me to the sink.

"No, I got it. I want you to relax tonight, so why don't you go upstairs and I'll meet you up there, okay?" I asked as I began to clean the dishes.

"But I can help." Shawn said as he put one of his big hands on my back.

"Yes, you can, but not tonight my love. Relax baby." I said. Shawn stood behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I let my hands, which had just been scrubbing the plates, rest for a moment as I felt Shawn's lips gently kiss my temple and then down the side of my face, to my cheek, and he placed a couple of gentle kisses on my neck.

"I love you." He whispered. I smiled as I felt a rush of love for this incredible man fill my body.

"I love you too." I said. He stayed behind me, holding me as I finished washing the dishes, and I let myself rest my back against his chest. I put the dishes in the rack to dry, dried my hands, and then turned around in Shawn's arms. He rested his forehead against mine before I put my lips on his. Just like always, he held my body as close as possible to his as we kissed for a while. We finally pulled away to catch our breaths and Shawn nudged my nose with his, causing me to smile. "We should probably turn off the music so we can go upstairs." I said and he nodded, gave me a quick kiss, and then unwrapped his arms from around me. I turned off the music and we went upstairs and sat on the bed.

"Baby, how many bath bombs did you get?" He asked as he looked at all of the bath bombs and the relaxation box.

"Well, I got four different kinds, plus this relaxation box, but I got more than one of some of the bath bombs. Okay, so this bath bomb is tea and sympathy, I got four of them because I thought that you would like it since you like tea. It's supposed to be really relaxing. This one is called flower power and its ingredients are rose oil, sunflower petals, and meadowsweet. I only got two of those, but I got three of these sea salt giant bombshell bath bombs because it's blue so I think it would look really pretty in the bath!" I said. Shawn laughed.

"I think so too darling. What's this last one?" Shawn asked as he pointed at the last bath bomb.

"That one is called the comforter, I think that one would also be pretty in the bath because it's pink. They're all supposed to help with relaxing and this is a relaxation box." I said before explaining what was inside of it. Shawn nodded along to my explanation before gently holding my chin with his thumb and index finger and giving me a kiss.

"Which bath bomb should I use?" He asked.

"Whichever one you want." I said with a smile. He looked at all of them again before picking up the sea salt giant bombshell bath bomb.

"I'm going to use this one. Do you want to join me in the bath darling?" He asked me with a smile.

"This is for you to relax baby, not me." I said.

"I know, but I would love it if you joined me. Please?" He asked. I caved once he gave me puppy eyes. We grabbed towels and some clothes for when we got out. I started the water and got it to a good temperature and then Shawn and I put the blue bath bomb in the water and watched it spread. We both stripped, he got in the water first and sat down, and I got in after him.

"Is this okay?" I asked as I sat across from him in the bath. He nodded as I felt him begin to rub my legs, my feet resting on his thighs

"This is perfect sweetheart." He said. He closed his eyes and tipped his head back so it was resting on the wall behind him. I began to rub his legs before moving my hands to the top of his feet and rubbing there. He opened his eyes and watched me as I moved my finger in circles, playing with the blue, bath bomb filled water. I glanced at him as he looked at my finger and then at my face. I smiled at him as he made a come hither motion with his index finger, a smirk on his face. I moved so I was on my hands and knees and crawled over to him. I brought my face very close to his and smirked at him.

"Yes?" I asked. His hands rubbed my arms, his nose touching mine, our eyes locked.

"The things you do to me baby." He whispered.

"What do I do to you?" I asked as I began to graze my lips against his cheek, not kissing him, just grazing my lips on him. My hair was up in a ponytail so I wouldn't get it wet, and Shawn put his hand on my back. I moved my legs so I was in between his legs, and more comfortable as I continued to graze my lips against him.

"You drive me wild baby." He said. With his words, I finally kissed his neck, kissed his cheek, and then kissed his lips. He rubbed my arms with his thumbs as we kissed.

"I love you." I said as I nudged his nose with mine after our kiss.

"I love you too. Turn around bunny, I want you to sit with your back against my chest." He said. I did as he wanted and relaxed as I put my back against his toned body. I tilted my head back, resting it on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me securely and safely. I closed my eyes, knowing that in his arms, I was in the safest place in the world and that nothing bad could come anywhere near me. My mind wandered to the fact that I was completely naked underneath the blue bath bomb water, and that for some reason, Shawn loves my body. For a while after we started dating, I wouldn't show him my body. It took me until we had been together for about five months before I finally showed him my body, but he waited and was patient with me the whole time.

"Shawn?" I asked.

"Hm?" He responded as he rested his head against mine, his fingers grazing up and down my arms.

"I just want to say thank you for always being patient with me when it comes to my body. I know that it took me a while to show you my body because I get insecure about it, but you were always so patient with me, and then when I finally showed you my body, you looked at me like I was the most incredible thing you had ever seen. In a moment when I wanted to hide my body, hide my stretch marks, the way that you looked at me made me feel beautiful and I'm so grateful for that." I said. He kissed my temple as I spoke.

"Darling, you are the most incredible thing I've ever seen. You're a masterpiece, did you know that? A work of art, and if I was able to stare at you and your gorgeous face and your gorgeous body every single day for the rest of my life, it still wouldn't be long enough. You take my breath away every day." He said. I gently squeezed his hands three times and he did it in return.

"The water is getting cold." I said after a few minutes of a comfortable silence.

"Yeah." Shawn said. We got out of the tub, drained the tub, dried off, and got dressed.

"Don't your shirt on yet, I'm going to give you a massage." I said.

"You don't need to do that baby." He said. I cupped his face in my hands and gave him a sweet and loving kiss before pulling away and looking at him.

"Of course I do." I said. He finally nodded and we went in our bedroom. He sat on the bed and I sat behind him. I let myself admire his toned back for a few moments before placing a few gentle kisses across his shoulders. I placed my hands on his shoulders and massaged his shoulders. I heard him let out a sigh as he let his head hang.

"This feels perfect." He said. I kissed the back of his neck and after a little bit, I finished massaging his shoulders.

"Lay on your stomach for me baby." I said. He did as told and I straddling his bum. I massaged his back as he laid there. After a bit, I was done and Shawn sat up.

"Thank you so much for that Y/n." Shawn said.

"You're welcome honey. How do you feel?" I asked. His eyes widened as he blew out a sigh.

"A million times better." He said. I smiled at him.

"Good. Are you tired?" I asked. He nodded and yawned.

"Yeah." He said. Him and I turned off the blankets, got underneath, and cuddled up to each other.

"Good night Shawn." I said.

"Good night baby. I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I said before drifting off to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, Shawn was still asleep. After a little bit, he woke up and smiled at me.

"Good morning beautiful." He said.

"Good morning handsome." I said before kissing his cheek. Him and I got out of bed and got ready for the day. Shawn went to the stove and began to make pancakes as I began to make us some coffee.

"Hey babe?" Shawn asked as I stood next to him.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"You know I love you, right?" He asked. I turned towards him more.

"Of course I do. Why do you ask that?" I said and asked.

"I just don't want you to forget." He said with a shrug. I smiled at him and kissed his shoulder before going back to making our coffees.

"I'll never forget your love for me baby, I promise. I hope you never forget my love for you." I said.

"No, I remember." He said. I nodded.

"Good. The coffees are ready." I said. Shawn nodded. I brought the mugs of coffee to the kitchen table and Shawn brought the two plates of pancakes to the table.

"It's woman crush Wednesday." Shawn said with a smirk as he raised his eyebrows at me. I giggled and blushed.

"That's right." I said.

"I was thinking of doing a little appreciation post for my woman crush Wednesday. Do you think my woman crush would mind that?" Shawn asked. I laughed and shook my head.

"No, she definitely wouldn't mind that at all." I said. He smiled at me. We talked throughout breakfast and afterwards we sat on the couch, my feet in Shawn's lap as he made his post. I closed my eyes and Shawn tapped my feet when he was done with the post.

I checked Instagram and saw that he had posted the three photos that he had taken the night before when we were eating dinner. The first picture was of me smiling at him, the second picture was of me taking a sip of my wine, and the third picture was of me taking a bite of the pasta that I had made. I read Shawn's caption.

"I want to take a moment to appreciate my incredible #wcw @yourusername ! Y/n knows that I've been stressed about making new music and I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself. Yesterday she surprised me with an amazing dinner, she had the lights dimmed, candles lit, love songs playing. After dinner we went upstairs and she had gone to Lush, where she had gotten me a bunch of relaxing bath bombs and a relaxation box and she just completely helped me relax. I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve such an incredible woman but I really am the luckiest man alive!!! I love you Y/n, thank you for everything you do for me!" Shawn wrote as the caption. I liked the post and commented on it.

"I love youuuu! Those bath bombs were super pretty and we should really do that more often, lol." I commented. Shawn laughed when I showed it to him. I'm so happy that I could help Shawn relax.
