Forever yours

Ch. 4 Stars

"Thank you guys so much for coming out! I would love to stay and Chatt but I got to head out for my next spot" wait he's leaving? I thought we had plans tonight. My face dropped and I looked back up to shawn and he was starring at me shaking his head, what?

"I'll see you guys next time!" He went back behind the curtain and all the boys followed him. Most of the fans were still screaming but they started to file out and I looked over to jess "are the plans still on?" I shrugged. Even tho I really wanted to have dinner with him, he already made this the best birthday ever. We started to follow a few girls out but a security guard tapped my shoulder "mr. Mendes wanted me to tell you too follow me" yay! So he didn't change his mind.

Jess and I followed the man back towards his dressing room "you girls have fun" I smiled and knocked. You could hear all of the boys being louder then heck so I knocked harder. The door swung open to Shawn standing there "hey beautiful" my cheeks probably flushed red.

"And you must be jess" I looked at her and expected her to scream and jump but she was still as a statue. "Oh lord" I shoved her towards him so he could hug her. I laughed and she was being awkwardly hugged by the guy I like.

"Come on in" we both walked in and all of the guys that were on stage were sitting in random places but their attention turned to us. "So guys this is shelbi, Jack you already know that. And this is her friend Jess" Matthew popped up and walked over "hello Jess, I'm Matt" she's surprisingly keeping her cool. She stuck out her hand "I'm Jess" but he shook his head and gave her a big hug. I can tell that's he's going to be a big help for her.

"So are the plans still on?" I looked up to him and he nodded "yeah I only said that so my fans would leave." i furrowed my eye brows and crosses my arms "what's wrong?" I looked over to Jess and she was getting aquatinted with the old Magcon boys "follow me" I grabbed Shawns hand and pulled him out of the dressing room and into the small hallway. "shelb, what's wrong?" I sighed and looked back up to him, this is going to kill me.

"I really want to go out to dinner with you, but a lot of those girls probably had to do a lot of job work in order to see you. it's not fair to them if you don't go say hi or something" he smiled and cupped my chin making me look at him. "shelbi don't worry about it okay? I told my stage manager to give them all free merch that I had signed, plus it's your birthday. maybe for just today you don't have to put everyone else in front of you." I smiled and he dropped my chin but took ahold of my hand and entwined my small fingers with his.

"By the way, I love that part about you" I cocked my head "what part?" He chuckled "never mind, how about we get Jess and go get going?" I nodded and he pulled me back into the dressing room. Jess was sitting on a small couch with Matt and they were talking away "hey Jess are you ready to go?" She looked over at me and she looked sad? So did Matt.

"Actually, is it cool if I hang with Matt today?" I looked at Matt and he had a big grin "sure I guess, I'll see you back at the room later tonight then?" She nodded and shawn pulled me back down the hallway and towards the exit door. once outside there was a giant limo sitting there "are we taking that?" He shook his head, awe I wanted to ride in the limo. "no I don't want my fans to follow us, so we're gonna take my car" he has a car?

We walked across the lot and sitting at the very end was a brand new Black jeep. "cool car" he smiled and opened my door for me and helped me hop up into the giant car. He closed my door and got into the car himself from his side. "so where are we going?" He fired up the engine and started into the busy road "youl just have to wait and see" that I can do.

Shawn reached across the console and entwined my hand with his again, I swear I could feel my heart leaping out of my chest from his small gesture. it was about 6:30 and the streets were lit by the light of the tall buildings. "so shelbi, where are you from?" Seattle looks so beautiful. "not super far from Seattle, just a few hours but it's a small city. not too many people know about it" he smiled and you could see his perfectly white teeth.

"How long have you known jess?" I'm glad he wants to know things about me. "for as long as I can remember, but she doesn't have the best story" I don't want to explain her story without her permission. "well what's your story?" I looked at him and he seemed genuinely curious "how about I tell you once we sit down and eat" he nodded "deal".

After a few more minutes we pulled into this small dinner. "hope you like Italian" I nodded and we got out of the car and walked in. the lady at the booth looked no older than 17 and I could tell she knew who shawn was the minute she saw him. once we walked up girl blushes "hello shawn! I'm such a big fan" I shifted un-comfortably and shawn seemed to take notice. he entwined our hands once again "sorry, Libby? No lily, your name tags a little fuzzy. but tonight I'm on a date with my friend shelbi so just a table for two" she huffed but grabbed two menus and walked us towards the back of the dinner. I slid into one side of the booth and he did so to the other.

Lily gave us our menus "do you know what you'd like to drink? Shawn I know you want a diet coke. it's your Favorite" okay creeper much? "can I have a water?" She nodded and then shawn interrupted before she could walk away "I would like a water too" she smiled vaguely and walked away. "Does that ever bug you? having everyone know your whole life?"

"Sometimes, but that's part of the star life" I nodded and scanned my menu for what to eat. Lily came back with our waters and we both ordered some fettuccine. "alright, so what's your story" he folded his arms across the table as if he was about to hear the most interesting story ever.

"Well let's see. I was born in Washington, haven't grown since the 6th grade. I'm a soccer geek, as well as a nerd geek. umm I love photography, I always have my camera at hand when I'm home. I live with my mom and I have No siblings, my dad left a long time ago but that's for another day. I love music and I guess I just try to live my life in the moment while helping everyone I can along the way." He smiled.

"Wow, looks like you love life" lily broke our conversation when she brought us our food. "will that be all?" Shawn nodded and she walked away. we ate our food in mostly silence because I didn't even realize how hungry I was.

"That was delicious" he smiled wider and lily walked over with the check. "here you go" shawn took it and pulled out some cash and handed it back "keep the change" she giggled and walked away again, wow she bugs me. "are you ready to go?" No not really, but I nodded anyway.

Shawn and I walked back out to the car and he opened my door for me like a gentlemen. he got into the car as well and he pulled back onto the road "where are we going now?" He entwined our hands yet again "not back to your hotel that's for sure" I smiled and looked out the window. a few minutes later Shawn pulled into this really tall building. "what are we doing here" he smiled "just wait and see" we got out of the car and walked over to this elevator. Shawn pressed the button to the top floor, okay?

Once we hit top we walked up this stair case that was around the corner. we hit a door and once you walked through you were on the roof. "wow" you could see all the stars up here. "this is my favorite place to come after a stop. I always go to the tallest building that overlooks all of the city lights. this way I can see the stars" we walked over to the edge of the building and swung our legs over the side. I got a little nervous so shawn pulled me close to his side and wrapped his strong arms around my tiny body again, I missed the feeling of them. "the stars are really beautiful" I laid my head on his shoulder "but your more beautiful than any star" this really had been the best birthday ever.
