The Weeknd - In Your Eyes.

---

I walk behind Shawn in the staircase, still holding his hand. The closer we get to the roof, the more excited I get. He kicks at the door two times before it opens. The sun is setting and the strong yellow light blinds me when I try to look at the roof. I move my hand to my eyes, trying to not get blinded by the sunlight.

I walk up the last few steps of stairs and reach the rooftop. My eyes adjust to the strong light and when I look around I fall in love. The ground underneath my feet is covered in grass, which makes it look like a natural rooftop. I don't know what a natural rooftop is, but it looks good.

There is a bed and a big television in the middle of the rooftop. Everything is decorated with romantic lights. Wow, this guy needs a prize for how much effort he puts in our dates.

'So... what do you think?' Shawn asks, stepping closer to me.

'I...uh...wow.' I sigh.

'I need to show you something else...' He grabs my hand again and drags me behind him.

Next to the door, there's this small path leading to the other side of the roof. The path is narrow, and you can't see what's on the other side.

When Shawn steps out of my eyesight, I see the biggest rooftop pool I've ever seen in my life. The sides of the pool disappear as if the pool continues where the roof ends.

'How is this pool so big?!' I ask, walking to it.

'Asking questions is my thing.' He says, wrapping his arms around me from behind.

'I know, but...' I don't even know what to say.

'Beth?'

'Yes?' I turn to him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

'Do you want to be my girlfriend?' The way he asks it is so cute. His eyes dart to all different places on the rooftop, not knowing whether to focus on my eyes or not.

'Okay.' I answer with a smile.

'Okay?' His eyes narrow, but he still has a smile on his lips.

'I never know what I'm supposed to say to that question?' I look at him.

'Scream your answer from the rooftops perhaps?' He answers, just making something up.

'Yes, Shawn Mendes! I want to be your girlfriend!' I scream, throwing my hands in the air.

He laughs, and that sound never sounded this perfect before. His hands move to the small of my back and he pulls me to him, crashing his lips onto mine.

Is it too soon? A month, I've known him for a month. Is a month too soon to be boyfriend and girlfriend? What if I don't know him well enough? Do I know him at all? What if moving too fast is going to destroy us? It really feels like I've known him for years...

The feeling of his hot tongue in my mouth takes my mind off my worries. I decide to enjoy the moment and Shawn, and just let everything go for once.

'Do you want to watch a movie?' He asks, pointing at the other side of the roof.

'Honestly?' He nods. 'No.' I answer.

'What is it with you and not wanting to watch the endings?' He asks.

'I don't want things to end.' I look at my hands.

'Why? Endings are not always a bad thing.' He puts his finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him.

'It was when my mum's life ended.' I say. I feel the mood in the air shift.

'That's true, but look at it the other way. There's going to be a moment that you're going to see your mom again. So even though things end, they always start again, with someone else, with the same person, the same problem... Everything ends and starts again.' He smiles at me. 'Look at us. Our friendship ended in a way, to make place for a different kind of relationship. Everything ends, you just need to find the good things in the endings.' He looks at me when tears roll down my cheek.

His thumb runs over my cheek to remove the tears. He said that so beautifully. I know he's right, but I've hated endings my whole life, I don't know why. It's also why I never wanted to fall in love with someone, relationships end and only leave pain and sadness.

'If a movie ends with a cliffhanger, there's a ninety-nine percent chance that there's coming a second part. The cliffhanger sucks, yes, but it doesn't have to be bad.' He wraps his arms around me.

'I really need to stop making you cry!' He laughs when my tears wet his shirt.

I chuckle and run my hands up and down his back. I feel his muscles and inhale sharply. The smell of pine needles makes me feel comfortable. It's his smell, and only his.

'I think we should start with Disney movies, then we can watch Harry Potter and continue from there.' He says in my ear.

'Mhm... okay, fine. One Disney movie.' I say with a smile.

'Have you watched Disney movies before?' He asks, walking back to the other side of the rooftop.

'I did, but I never watched the endings.' I follow him.

'Did you ever watch The Aristocats?' He asks.

'Yes, a lot of times.'

'I think it's about time we watch the ending then.' He takes his boots off and sits down on the bed. I also take my heels off and take a seat next to him.

He turns the Aristocats on and my whole childhood comes flashing back. I lay down next to him, concentrating on the television. It's weird to know that I'm going to watch the ending, but I like it somehow.

He puts his arm around me, pulling me closer to his body. I enjoy his presence, more than I ever did with anyone else.

"Why should you be first?" Toulouse says.

"Because I'm a lady, that's why." Marie says.

"You're not a lady!"

"You're nothing but a sister!" Berlioz says before pulling at Marie's tail.

Shawn and I both laugh. Those cats are too cute.

"Ladies do not start fights, but they can finish them." Marie the cat says.

'Even a cat is smarter than most men.' I laugh.

'Facts.' Shawn responds.

We laugh at most parts of the movie. It's so strange to watch a movie again after all those years. When I was younger I didn't get the jokes, the comments, now I do and that makes it even better.

When the movie is almost finished, I do everything I can to keep focussing on the movie, and when I see everything ending well, I smile. Endings are not so bad after all.

'See, they took care of Edgar, and Thomas is living with them now at Madame Adelaide's house. It ended very well, don't you think?' Shawn says when all the cats are dancing.

'Yeah... it did.' I don't feel bad.

I always felt like shit after watching a movie. Because I never finished them, I always stopped at the problem, the fights, the drama, which isn't a nice ending. But I watched the ending of The Aristocats now, for the first time in my life and I feel good, really good.

I look at Shawn's face while he's searching for something else to watch. I really don't want to watch something else right now. Finishing one movie is quite an achievement for me right now.

'You don't want to watch something else?' He looks at me, reading my mind.

'No...' I smile. 'I'm sorry.'

'Do you want to stay over? I would really like that.' He says.

'Sure, just for tonight.' I respond.

I sit up straight, looking at him. I study his face like it's the first time I've seen it. Every scar, every dent, every dimple, it all makes him perfect in some way. He looks at me with his beautiful hazel eyes. His eyes, even his eyes are strange. Sometimes they're brown, sometimes they're green, but they're his eyes, which makes them amazing.

'Let go for a swim.' Shawn breaks the silence.

'Can we have sex after that?' I'm surprised by my own question.

Shawn stares at me in shock. I think that's the last thing he expected to hear. I look at him with an awkward smile on my face.

'Let's just go for a swim first.' He says with a smile.

He unbuttons his shirt and walks to a little closet next to the bed. He pulls out two swim shorts and one sports bra. He hands me the sports bra and one pair of his swim shorts.

'I don't really have any females swimming here, so I bought you that top. I hope it fits.' He smiles at me. I don't know why I like the fact that he doesn't have any girls swimming here.

'Why didn't you just say: "Elizabeth, wear something you can wear on a motorcycle. Elizabeth, pack a swimsuit on our date." I love... the fact that you put so much effort into getting me a sports bra, but you could've made it easier for yourself...' I say getting off of the bed.

'Maybe I want to see how you look with my shorts on... and maybe I bought a sports top that's a little too small, just so I can see your boobs.' He laughs.

My jaw drops and I start to laugh at his honesty. There's tension in the air, I've been feeling it the whole night.

Shawn's POV

I love it when she laughs, I like everything about her. The lights I put up reflect in Beth's beautiful yellow-brown amber eyes. I watch her pulling her hair into a ponytail before taking her earrings out. She walks toward me and turns in front of me. I look at her perfectly shaped ass and wonder what she expects me to do.

'Can you unzip it please?' She asks, pointing at her dress.

Of course that's what she wanted me to do. I unzip her dress and watch her drop it onto the grass. I try not to stare when she unclips her bra, with her back still to me. She puts the blue swim shorts on that I gave her and pulls the sports top over her head. I keep staring at her, I even forgot to change my own clothes.

'Well?' She looks at me.

I was right, the sports top is way too small. Her breasts are pushed against her chest, which gives her a full cleavage. Fuck, she turns me on.

'You look hot.' I say after a couple minutes of staring.

'Thank you, sir, but the "well" was more like: Well... start changing!' She laughs.

'Did you just call me sir?' I look at her.

'Yes, sir, monsieur, mister, man, bro. It's all the same.'

'It's not, and don't call me bro.'

'I didn't call you bro...' She says.

'No, but you know what I mean.'

'No, because I didn't call you bro.' She responds again.

She's so infuriating sometimes. If she keeps talking to me like this I can't help myself, and I'm just going to fuck her against the wall.

'Mendes! You're taking too long! It's fucking cold, I'm going to swim.' She walks away and disappears.

I breathe in a couple of times to calm myself, my heartbeat and the feeling between my legs. I run my fingers through my hair and take my necklace between my fingers, feeling the emblem. I finally put the shorts on and walk to the swimming pool.

I expected to find Beth inside the swimming pool, but she's just sitting at the side with her legs in the pool water. I run and make a somersault before landing in the water in front of Beth. The water splashes to all sides and I'm sure Beth will be soaked when I come up for air.

I laugh when I see her looking at me with her hands in front of her and an angry look. I see the small drops of water on her hair.

'I can make a somersault.' She says when she stands up.

'Are you sure?' I ask. I don't want her to break her neck.

'What is that supposed to mean?' She laughs.

'Nothing.' I say when I see her gaining speed, running to the swimming pool.

She makes a perfect somersault, even better than mine, and lands in the pool next to me. I didn't expect she could do that. She's a lawyer, most of the time they're boring. I know she isn't boring, but I didn't expect this either.

Elizabeth's POV

If he thinks I can't do a somersault, what else does he think I can't do? I swim to the scary side of the swimming pool and rest my arms, looking at the city lights. It's a beautiful place, the Netherlands is beautiful, flat, but beautiful.

I hear Shawn swimming behind me and he wraps his arms around me. Putting both of his hands onto my stomach. He rests his head on my shoulder, looking at the city lights with me. Even though we are in the swimming pool, I still smell the pine needle scent on him.

'How come you always smell like a magnificent forest?' I ask him, without looking at him.

'Because I'm magnificent.' He says.

I feel his hot body against my back.

'Yeah, but not a forest.' I respond, turning to face him this time.

He still doesn't let go of my body.

'That's my secret...' He scrunches his nose. That's just fucking adorable.

I kiss him. His hands move to my ass and I wrap my legs around his waist, to keep myself above water. His tongue enters my mouth and I moan at the delicious feeling.

I run my fingers through the wet hair on the back of his head. Shawn walks to the other side of the swimming pool and pushes my back against the side of the swimming pool under water. One of his hands leaves my ass and he finds his way to the front of the panties I'm wearing underneath Shawn's swim shorts.

'Here?' I ask looking at his hand between my legs.

'Why not?' He kisses me again.

One of his fingers slide inside and I moan with his mouth still against mine. He moves in and out slowly, it feels so good. He massages a sensitive spot inside of me that I didn't even know I had.

He adds another finger and I dig my nails into his shoulder. It gets harder to keep myself above water, and when Shawn notices it he wraps his arm around my back, holding me steady. He starts moving faster. I moan again, gasping for air.

'Just let go.' He whispers in my ear with his raspy voice.
