Soulmates

9-Paradise

Camila went back from show feeling happy but one thing was bothering her. Ally didn't speak to her properly since she arrived after meeting with Shawn. Camila was surprised that she didn't even ask her where she was. She tried to find the reason but couldn't. Her experience with Shawn was awesome. She didn't feel so connected with someone for so long. On tour they were two people working together who sometimes talked to each other. Since then she felt like he was a good guy and she could tell him something to lighten up her heart. But now she was sure he was actually the person who cared about her.

It was after that day she noticed girls are trying too hard to remain cool with her. It was like they were tolerating her. First pebble in the water was when Taylor invited her at her home and threw a party for her while no other girl from the group was invited. Second pebble was dropped when probably someone told Ally when they were at Taylor's concert that Camila was with Shawn in his dressing room. She definitely wanted to meet Shawn too so she went there but found Camila singing with him. She didn't like what she saw, Camila wasn't suppose to be making a music with someone else without telling anyone in the group. She went back without interrupting them and told the rest of the girls what was going on. Eventually Camila told everyone that she wanted to work with Shawn for new music but as usual they didn't care and just showed her with their attitude that they didn't want her to collaborate with someone else. Anyways Camila hated that when someone didn't get clear to her so she didn't give a fuck. If they said they had apparently no issues then Camila was more than willing to do that. Only if they had issues and they should've told her directly without being hypocrite then she probably wouldn't want to be in a band anymore. But as far as they didn't wanna come in a way of her dreams it was okay for her.

So here Shawn and Camila were both in a studio together working on their collaboration.

"Ok let's try this." Camila said from the other side of the glass wall which was separating both of them.

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know (ah-ah)
(He-ey)
Camila sang.

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Shawn repeated following her.

I didn't mean it, no, I didn't mean it, mean it, no
(Ah-ah, he-ey)
Can't seem to let you go, can't seem to hold you close
I know

Both repeated back and forth to one another. They had been trying to figure out the bridge for an hour and then came up with that idea. Shawn signed at Camila that what she thinks about it cause they couldn't hear their voices due to soundproof glass. Camila showed him a thumbs up and he took a sigh of relief.

"I'm literally starving right now." Camila said as Shawn left his side to come outside.

"You're always starving not you?" He said to annoy her. Although they become close a day ago but he felt like he knew her for years and he found her reaction so cute whenever he teased her. It was kinda amusing for him.

"Whatever I'm not gonna argue I'm so tired right now." She said and left the glass room to sit somewhere.

Shawn felt disappointed about her reaction. It wasn't the Camila he knew, the Camila who was a ball of positive energies, who always remained on fire even after performing for whole day. He didn't see Camila being dull and unfunny. He remembered watching her from his tour bus doing cartwheels. This was different Camila for him.

"Hey!" Shawn said as he took a seat on a chair besides her putting the plate of biscuits he brought with him on a table. "What's going on with you?" He asked politely looking at her dull face expression.

"Nothing Shawn I'm just tired." She brushed it off taking a bite of biscuit.

"Don't pretend what you're not Camila. I know you well to know that you are upset. Now tell me what happened if you consider me a friend." He said firmly.

"I just don't feel good about working apart from my band when I'm a part of it." She said truly.

"Look Camila you've talent of songwriting, you can make your own songs I don't know why you care about band more than your dreams." He said what his parents had always told him to chase his dreams.

"It's not like I care about band Shawn. I'm with them for so long. They're like sisters to me so I just feel bad for doing something which is upsetting to them."

"Well If that's the case then it's a one sided sisterhood, if they would've felt the same towards you they'd be happy about you, instead of being upset." He spilled.

"Shawn you know what." She said turning her head to look at him with a smile. "I want to deny that fact but you're acting like a mirror to me right now...I mean I remember when you told me that Austin was an asshole, I should've listened to you and broken up with him but I didn't which makes me scared to not listen to you now." She laughed and in that moment Shawn probably captured the most beautiful laugh of his lifetime. He couldn't help but smile and blush at her words. How could she manage to laugh so adorably after such a sad conversation. This girl is something else. He thought.

"You still remember that?" He asked smiling.

"Of course Shawn how could I never..I mean I was in shock when that word left out of your mouth..I used to think you're all goody goody."

He didn't know the biscuits were the reason or something else but now Camila was back in her goofy energetic mood. Sometimes he completely got blown away by her energy but he was loving it.

"So you wanna say I'm no more goody goody." He repeated her phrase.

"No!! you are more than that." She said and he doubted if it was a flirt. "Where's food Shawn?" She said suddenly raising her volume higher without giving him a chance to respond to her previous flirt statement.

"It's coming... wait for it just.." Shawn said to calm her down and she pouted at him like a little kid whose toy was snatched away by someone.

"You know you're such a kid." He said chuckling.

"And you're such an ass." She snapped.

"Don't ass me." Shawn complained.

"Well I would assS you." She said annoying him more.

"Camila I swear if you say that to me again." He said firmly.

"I ass you, I ass you, I ass you.." She teasingly said non-stop and he reached to her stomach to tickle her with his hands, the way he used to do with his sister. He acted involuntarily in that way cause he was used to do it whenever his sister annoyed him. Camila started giggling at his tingling touch and he could swear to god that it was not the giggle he heard instead it was like the most beautiful melody, he wanna hear again and again. Camila pulled back from him, dragging her chair in the process to stood straight but as soon as she straightened up, the crop top she was wearing lifted up, exposing bare skin of her belly. Shawn felt like an electric shock as soon as his hand slightly brushed her skin, he quickly pulled his hands away turning as red as tomato. She was not better than him blushing hard but that awkward tension soon vanished as Andrew enter the room with the food bags in his hands.

"Here your food kids?" Andrew announced breaking the invisible conversation between them. They were looking at each other like they were saying words with their eyes. Andrew coughed smelling something fishy.

"Oh thank god or I would've turned into horney shark right now." She said spontaneously wanting to crack another unfunny joke which made Shawn to laugh as usual but left Andrew in a deep thought of figuring it out.

"Come on Andrew it wasn't that deep, you don't have to think about horney Sharks right now." Shawn told him grabbing his food and setting it on the table and they were back in their friendship mood of cracking jokes, talking about music and their favourite songs ending up in singing covers.

Meanwhile Shawn was enjoying his time on tour. They were in Seattle when Shawn turned 17 year old and Taylor swift made a crowd of 70,000 people to sing him "Happy Birthday". After almost a week they were still in Santa Clara where fifth harmony was joining the tour to perform.
