At a little over ten fourty-five the next day, I was on my way to Élan to meet up with Shawn.

-----

As I walked into the cute cafe, the sound of singing filled my ears. Shawn is singing. I paused and stood in the doorway. He looked over at me, still singing. He had a look in his eye, like he's trying to tell me that there's reasoning behind why he's singing this song.

It's not that I'm afraid I'm not enough for her
It's not that I can't find the words to say
But when she's with him, she seems happier
And I don't want to take that away

How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know

I'm not try'na start a fire, with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?
Die or let it go?

It's not that I don't care about the love you have
It's not that I don't want to see you smile
But there's no way that he can feel the same
'Cause when I think of you my mind goes wild

How many times can I see your face?
How many times will you walk away?
I just have to let you know

I'm not try'na start a fire, with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?

You can tell me to stop, if you already know
Though I'm not sure my heart can take it
But the look on your face says, don't let me go

I'm not try'na start a fire, with this flame
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me if I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it go?
I'm not tryna start a fire, with this flame (with this flame)
But I'm worried that your heart might feel the same
And I have to be honest with you baby
Tell me If I'm wrong, and this is crazy
But I got you this rose
And I need to know
Will you let it die or let it grow?

It was only when Shawn finished the song that Maia noticed me.
"Lili!" She squealed. "There are two famous people in my cafe. I think I'm going to faint!"
I laughed. "Calm down Maia!"
She inhaled. "Alright. Can I help you with anything?" She asks, turning her business mode on.
"I'd like my usual, thanks Maia." I tell her.
"And for you?" She turns toward Shawn.
"Uh- Can I have a Mocha Frappe and a Strawberry Cheesecake?"
We place our orders and pay for them seperately before sitting down at one of the tables.
"So..." I start. "I am so so so sorry about yesterday."
He shakes his head. "No, I am. I didn't know what happened."
"Are we... Cool?" I ask.
He smiles. "We're cooler than cool, we're awesome!"
I snort. "Dork."
Maia comes up to us. "One Mocha Frappe and Strawberry Cheesecake for you," she gives Shawn his order. "And a Flora Tea and Red Velvet Cheesecake for you!"
"Thank you," Shawn and I say simultaneously.
"I see you remembered my order," I smile.
"Well of course! It's not everyday you get Royalty coming by!" She laughs before heading back to work.
"So Rose, hows the Royal life treating you?" Shawn asks me.
I think about it. "Well, besides the whole Lucien drama and my Dad's lovely yelling all the time, pretty good. How about you? How's the Famous Canadian Singer life?"
He smirks. "Better now that I've met you."
I cringe. "No. Shawn-. That was so cheesy. Don't say that again."
He laughs. "I wasn't planning too. Anyway, it's pretty good. Especially seeing how happy my fans are at the concerts. It brightens my day."
I smile.
We keep talking for a few hours, having mutiple meaningless conversations and making eachother laugh. I get a message from Harry.

"Hey, Harry's at the Palace, want to come?" I ask once I turn my phone off.
"Yeah sure." He replies.
I smile, "the car's this way."
