Now I know her name 💗 [ A Shawn Mendes Fanfic]

13. Like Fireworks

Shawn's POV:
I can't sleep.
I just don't know how to tell Vanessa how I feel about her.
Cameron is asleep and I assume Vanessa is also since it is now about 3am. I need to clear my head so, I stand up and sneak downstairs and into the garden.

Vanessa's POV:
Shawn gets up and leaves my room.
I don't know wether or not to go after him.
I lay there for about twenty minutes and then make up my mind. I grab a blanket and run downstairs. As I get to the back door I take a deep breath.

"Shawn?"

He is sitting on the swing chair on the porch.

"Sorry Vanessa, did I wake you up?"

"No, I haven't  slept."

"Neither"

He keeps looking to the floor.
I walk over and sit on the other side of the bench.
I cross my legs and lay the blanket across me.

"What's going through your head?"

I try to make conversation.
He looks at me nervously.

"No don't worry about me. It's nothing much."

"Shawn.."

I move over closer to him.

"Please trust me."

Shawn's POV:
Vanessa looks at me.
Her eyes sparkling in the moonlight.
I really want to tell her and now may be my only chance.
I turn to look at her.

"Erm, well I don't know if you've heard my song 'I don't even know your name'?"

She bites her lip.

"Yeah, my friends are huge fans so they played it to me..."

I gulp and look down.

"Well, now I know your name."

"What do you mean?"

"Vanessa"

I say, looking up at her.

"That song, it's about you."

Vanessa's POV:
I feel a sudden urge to kiss him.
I lean forward and close my eyes. Sparks fly everywhere like fireworks as we touch.
I pull back and look away. I have no idea if he just felt what I did.

"I'm gonna go try and sleep again"

I say nervously.
He nods but stays quiet.
As I get up, I give him the blanket and then walk back to my room.
I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.
That was something I never expected.
