My boyfriend of a little over two years is the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes. He's about to go on a world tour for his fourth album. His tour is starting next month in Amsterdam. I'm really not looking forward to being so far away from him, but I've known for a while that this was going to happen. I'm a college student, so after class, I got in my car, took out my phone, and called Shawn. We live together and I'm going to be home a little later than usual because I want to get him some presents before he goes back on tour.

"Hi beautiful." Shawn said when he answered. Even after two years together, I still blushed and smiled at the compliment.

"Hi handsome." I said.

"How was class?" Shawn asked.

"It was good. It felt a bit like it dragged on though. How has your day been?" I asked.

"Productive, I went to the gym and got us a case of water since we were low." Shawn said. I giggled at his words.

"Thank you for that baby. I'm in my car now but I'm going to be home a little later. I just need to run an errand and then I'll be home." I said.

"Alright my love. I'll see you when you get home." Shawn said.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too baby girl." He said. I smiled and we said goodbye and hung up. It took about twenty minutes but I drove from my school to a store that has a lot of healing crystals, candles, a lot of spiritual things. I went up to the counter.

"Hi, how can I help you?" The lady asked.

"Do you have any crystals that will help with the throat or with protection?" I asked. She nodded and led me over to the crystals.

"Yes we do." She said. She helped me find them. I thanked her before picking the crystals I wanted. I took a picture of each one with the right paper. I got him a blue sodalite which brings harmony and tranquility in our communications and settles our negative thoughts. I got him an aquamarine stone which helps stay present and be flexible when communicating with others. Rather than getting fixed or attached to how a conversation should go, aquamarine washes any stress or tension from your mind and helps you to go with the flow. I bought him a labradorite crystal which is supposed to shield against psychic attack, fixation and ill-wishing.

I saw a serenity stone that said "KISS" on it, and another one that said "LOVE" so I decided to get those. I also got him a tree of life necklace, a scarf, a bag to keep the crystals in, and a book called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I went to the counter and paid for everything. Afterwards, I went and sat in my car. I took out the book and got out a pen. I usually don't write in books, but I wanted to write a little message to my man. After I wrote what I wanted in the book, I put it all back in the bag, and drove home. I walked in the front door and saw Shawn sitting on the couch in the living room. He smiled at me when he saw me walk in.

"Hi darling. What's all of that?" He asked as he stood up and walked over to me. He gave me a quick kiss before I answered.

"Let's go sit on the couch." I said. He nodded and we sat down.

"So what's this?" He asked as he pointed at the two bags.

"Well, I know that you're going away soon, so I wanted to surprise you with some stuff. So, all of this is for you." I said. His eyes widened.

"You didn't have to do that baby." He said.

"Are you kidding? We've been together for two years, you're my best friend and I am so beyond proud of you. Of course I had to get you some stuff. Plus, I think you'll like all of it." I said. He gave me another kiss.

"I'll love whatever you've gotten me." Shawn said. I smiled.

"Do you want me to hand you the stuff in the bag or do you want me to just give you the whole bag?" I asked. Shawn thought about it for a moment.

"How about you just hand me the stuff in the bag?" He asked. I nodded. There were two bags, one just had the scarf and the book. I handed him the book first and his smile widened when he saw it.

"You should open up to the first page." I said. He looked at me with a weird look but then opened it up. He saw my handwriting and smiled at me.

"Should I read it out loud?" He asked.

"If you want." I said. He began to read it out loud and I could see the tears in his eyes and hear the emotion in his voice as he read it.

"Shawn, my love, I am so damn proud of you! I remember watching your vines in 2014, your walls were covered with posters that fans had made, and now look at you, selling out stadiums and touring the world. You deserve this, you earned it, you're here, you made it to where you belong in the music industry, and I can't wait to see how much farther you'll go.

"I love you so much, which of course you know. I love seeing you with a guitar, I love seeing you with a piano, I love seeing you close your eyes while you get lost in the music, your head goes back and you're nowhere else but in the music. I could stare at you all day when you're like that - actually I could stare at you all day no matter how you are. You're very handsome, which I will never let you forget.

"You have a kind heart, a kind soul, a kind and loving personality. I love everything about you. I'm grateful beyond words for you and everything you do for me. You moved to another country for me, changed your gym, changed your doctor, dentist, insurance, everything, just for me, and trust me when I say that I'm grateful for that. I'm also grateful for your love. Every single day you choose me, you accept me, you respect me, and above all, you love and protect me. You make me feel safe and comfortable. I'm the most myself when I'm with you and you are my truest love and my soulmate.

"Take this book, and this long message I wrote, with you on tour. I hope you like it! I love you Shawn Peter Raul Mendes. Forever is ours and I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be yours. I love you. Xoxo - Y/n Y/l/n." Shawn read. He looked at me as he wiped happy tears away and then kissed me.

"I'm going to guess that you like what I wrote." I said when we pulled away from the kiss. Shawn smiled and nodded.

"I loved it. That's perfect. I love you." Shawn said as he put the book next to him.

"I love you too. Ready for the next gift?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Yup." He said.

"Here you go baby." I said as I handed him the blue scarf with the black pattern on it. His smile, and his eyes widened.

"Oh wow! I love it. Thank you so much baby." Shawn said. I smiled at his reaction.

"You really like it?" I asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" He asked.

"I didn't know if you would like the pattern or not." I said.

"I love it baby, I promise." He said. He put the scarf in his lap and I took out the crystals which were in the bag with their matching papers.

"Okay, so these crystals are supposed to be very healing." I said. I figured out which paper went to which crystal and read the descriptions of each stone to him. He smiled.

"This is so cool. So if anyone's gossiping about me, can I just hold this stone up to them and it will make them go away?" He asked. I giggled and shook my head.

"No, I don't think it works like that. Oh, and I got you these little stones too. This one says kiss and this one says love, and you can keep all these stones in this little bag." I said. Shawn smiled.

"I love it so much baby. Thank you." He said.

"You're welcome. Oh, and I got you this necklace too! It's a tree of life necklace. Do you like it?" I asked as I handed it to him. He smiled.

"I absolutely love it baby. It's beautiful. All of the gifts are beautiful and I really appreciate them. Thank you for everything sweetheart." He said. I gave him a kiss on the lips.

"You're welcome Shawny. Can we cuddle now?" I asked.

"Of course! Come here!" Shawn said. He moved his gifts to the coffee table in front of him and opened up his arms for me to come into. I scooted myself over so I was sitting in his lap sideways and I buried my face in his neck. He wrapped his arms around me and I relaxed more when he began to rub my back.

"I love you." I said. Shawn kissed my forehead before resting his head against mine.

"I love you too baby. So much." He said. We sat there for a little bit longer, just relaxing with each other, not wanting to take a single second for granted. I kissed his chin and he gave my body a gentle squeeze.

"Don't forget about me when you're on tour." I said.

"I could never forget you baby, especially when I'm going to be singing songs about you every night." He said. I smiled.

"It's still so crazy to me that people are going to be singing along to every word to songs about me. I mean, I used to be a fan in the crowd and now you're going to be singing songs about me. It's just crazy to me." I said. Shawn chuckled.

"Well you've been great motivation for me darling, you know that." He said. I did know that, he reminds me of that all the time.

"Mmm hmm. Hey, when you go through a midlife crisis, do you think you'll get a motorcycle?" I asked randomly. Shawn laughed and I could feel him holding my body a little tighter as we continued to cuddle on our couch.

"I don't know, but if I do, will you ride on it with me?" Shawn asked. I picked my head up and looked at him.

"Only if you're wearing a leather jacket." I said with a smirk. Shawn threw his head back with laughter before smiling at me.

"It's a deal baby." He said before giving me a kiss. I moved myself so I was straddling his lap. I held his face in my hands as we kissed and soon he was carrying me upstairs to our bedroom. I love Shawn so much, and I'm so proud of him.
