9-Five Tasks

Camila stepped into the boxing gym and went to receptionist.

"Does Shawn Mendes work here?" She asked.

"Yes, Ma'am what can I help you"

"No thanks I'll go find him." She moved inside watching people stretching and exercising in the gym. She felt weird to be in so many well built guys but then she spotted some women too and got relieved.

"Excuse me." She said to a boy noticing him holding boxing gloves in his hands. The boy looked at her in question.

"Do you know Shawn Mendes, the guy who's a boxer and works here."

"Yes of course he's my teacher." The boy replied confidently.

"Teacher?" She thought that he would be a student himself. He didn't look like a teacher from his get up and behaviour.

"Yes my new favourite instructor. Why you are asking?" The almost 16 year old boy replied.

"I was looking for him actually he's my friend, do you know where can I find him?"

"He'll be in the dressing room right now."

"If you never mind can you show me where it is." She requested.

"Yeah sure..come with me." The boy led her to the boxing ring and crossed the place to enter into a hallway. She saw different people coming in and out from the rooms present in the hallway.

"Here." The boy stopped in front of a room. Camila saw "Male" written on the board and then looked at herself. She was wearing white plain T-shirt and blue jeans. Her long hair were spreaded on her shoulders and small bag with long strip hanging on one.

"Thanks." She said and boy left. She thought for a while before opening the door and stepping into it.

The room was full of guys more like jacked guys, some of them were shirtless dripping in sweat and most of them just in their boxers on. Camila felt her heart pounding but she ignored the presence of guys coz she had to do it and she did it everytime in her life when she needed it. The moment Camila entered and closed the door behind her, everyone's head turned around to see her and they seemed to get froze in their position. She kept walking looking around for Shawn but all she saw were eyes on her looking at her like she was the 8th wonder of the world.

Shawn was wearing a white tanktop and blue Jeans, whipping his sweat with a towel when the guy in front of him caught sight of something.

"What the girl is doing here?"

Shawn turned his head to see the girl he was talking about but didn't get the time to move when Camila ran and clung her arms around his neck. Shawn froze and turned into deep colour of red coz he wasn't prepared for this at all.

"Hi Shawn!" She said smiling at him.

"Ca-Camila!" He was both shocked and confused and a little bit embarrassed too coz his colleagues and students were all their watching the stiff, intimidating guy helpless in girl's arms. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"You forgot, you wanted me to meet you..so  I'm here."She gave him a kiss on his cheek and he felt like all the air vanished to breathe in. As soon as he came back to senses, he grabbed her arm moving it away from his neck and pulled her to follow his steps. He took her to the side bathroom which was empty and locked the door behind.

"What the fuck was you trying to do?" He said pinning her against the wall. His face was still flushed with embarrassment.

"Look at you, didn't you want me to visit you and meet you and date you a day before...why you're so embarrassed, I just did what you wanted."

"I told you to text me and wait for me not to smash into the male's dressing room and put your hands around me."

"So you didn't like it Hun?, I thought you'd like a girl who would dare to kiss you in front of everyone...well I think I'm not what you wanted, I should go now."She pushed his hands who were pinning her, away from her arms and gave him a smile. Shawn realised she just did it to get rid of him and grabbed her hand quickly.

"No listen I still want you."

"Wha-" She turned and frowned.

"I said I still want you and I don't care what you did there..I know you just wanted to embarrass me, it's ok."

Camila crossed her arms on her chest and stared at him.

"Okay but you've to prove yourself." She told.

"I'm ready to prove it, just tell me what I've to do."

"Nothing much, just five tasks I'll tell you to do and if you could do all of them, I would go on a date with you...but remember you've to do all of them, if you'll fail to do only one task then I'm not going anywhere with you and you'll stop following and bothering me. Deal?" She said and stretched her hand forward.

Shawn thought for a moment before giving in. "Deal." He finally said shaking her hand. He thought what a girl could ask him to do, he's a spy and a boxer went through the dangerous situations, what in the world he could never do completely underestimating the confidence she showed outside. He grabbed her hand and opened the lock to find all eyes waiting for them to come out but as soon as Shawn gave them a glare and started walking between them pulling Camila with him, they all pretended to be busy in what they were doing before.

"They all seem to fear you."She laughed behind him.

"As they should." Shawn said closing the door of male's dressing room behind him.

"Do you know the alternative exit coz I don't want to leave from the front door with you."She asked.

"Yes." He noded and led her to emergency exit.
