Shawn Mendes Imagines

BFF

Y/N's POV

I down another drink and Shawn does the same. There's nothing like getting a drunk in a club with your best friend after a shitty day.

We weren't quite drunk yet but the alcohol was definitely starting to get to us. We get up from the booth to go get another round.

"More drinks?" the bartender asks, looking over at us as she hands a drink to another customer. Shawn nods in response.

"You two are really cute by the way," she says, motioning between us.

"Oh, we're not um... a couple," he tells her, giving me a knowing smile.

"My bad, I just assumed. Anyways what can I get you?"

He tells her our order, already knowing mine. She then turns around to pour us our drinks.

Shawn and I have been best friends since we were 8. Since then, we have been constantly asked over and over again if we were dating.

It's been 11 years since then, so I guess you could definitely say we were used to it.

Our friends used to tease us about being a couple, and even our families would occasionally tell us that we 'would be cute together'.

We did spend a ton of time with each other, and that didn't change after we left school. He also knew me better than anyone. But no, we've only ever been friends.

We grab our drinks from the counter and head back over to our seats.

I'm about to take a sip when he nudges me lightly with his elbow. I look at him, but he was looking elsewhere.

"Hey, isn't that the girl you hated back in highschool?" He nods his head in the direction of the entrance.

I follow his gaze and surely enough, I see her standing there with a few other people. She was wearing her usual large amount of makeup and ridiculously short dress.

"Ugh. I'm so not in the mood to deal with her right now. She's gonna do the whole 'omg so good to see you' thing in her fake sweet voice."

He laughs outwardly at my annoyance and I shove him.

"Shut up you dummy. You were the reason she hated me the first place."

"No, she disliked you because of me. She hated you because you actually had the audacity to fight back."

I roll my eyes, but a smile was playing at my lips.

Her and Shawn are a grade higher than me, and she had a huge crush on him when they first started highschool. He was not exaggerating when he said she didn't bother to hide it at all.

When I came the following year, well, let's say she didn't like it very much when she saw how close we were.

About three months into my freshman year, she comes and confronts me about it, telling me to 'back off'. I don't think she was expecting me to fight back.

I think I told her something along the lines of, "Shawn would never date a stuck-up brat like you," and we've been enemies ever since.

I wasn't lying though. Shawn's dated plenty of girls (some worse than others) but he would never go as low as dating her.

"I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom," I tell him and he nods.

As I'm walking back to the booth, I see her fake smile pointed directly at me. She's spotted me.

She struts over, pushing past people as she makes her way towards me.

"Y/N..." she says slyly, twirling her hair with her finger.

"Hi Brynn," I respond with a forced smile.

"Oh em gee, it's so good to see you!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Shawn watching us from the booth. He bursts out laughing, with his hand over his mouth. Called it.

"Great to see you too." I try to keep walking but she stops me.

"Hold on a sec, don't you wanna catch up with an old friend?"

I take a deep breath, wanting to slap this bitch so badly. I refrain from doing so, turning back around to face her.

"Where's Joe? Weren't you two the endgame couple back in highschool?" she says sweetly with a fake smile, knowing full well that we ended things a little while back.

I purse my lips together. Of course she's bringing this up.

"Joe and I aren't together anymore," I answer shortly. Her fake smile widens and I could tell she was about to say something like, 'oh how unfortunate'.

"Yeah, actually she's with me now," Shawn interjects, coming up from behind me before she could open her stupid little mouth again. He places an arm around me and gives me a look, telling me to just play along.

Her eyes are wide, and I could tell she was caught off guard. Hell, even I was.

"You two? Hmph, everyone always suspected it..."

She was trying to play it cool, but it was obvious she was pissed. Her face was practically turning red from anger.

Shawn looks at me with a smile. "C'mon babe I love this song." He takes my hand and begins leading me over to the dance floor.

I look over my shoulder and see her glaring at us. I smile in satisfaction and then follow Shawn to the edge of the crowd.

We dance in time with the music and I could still feel her angry gaze on us.

"Since when do you love this song?" I ask with a laugh.

He shrugs. "I don't, I've actually never heard it. Just wanted to get away from her."

I turn my head slightly and see that she was still watching us. I get closer to Shawn, and he puts his hand on my waist.

My heart pounds against my chest as we kind of stare at each other for a moment. Even though the music was blaring loudly, the only thing I could hear was my heartbeat.

Our goofy smiles had faded and he was now simply looking at me, lips slightly parted. His Adam's apple bobs in his throat.

"We could um, y'know, piss her off some more..."

He looks at my lips and then back up at me, his eyes asking for permission. I give him the slightest nod and he presses his lips to mine.

I don't know what I was expecting kissing my best friend to be like, but it certainly wasn't that.

I think Brynn stormed off some time during the kiss, but I had already forgotten about her. When we pull away, we look at each other for a few seconds, his arm still holding me by the waist.

"I think she's gone..." he whispers, still looking into my eyes.

I give a tiny nod, and then connect our lips once again. He kisses me back, and this time it wasn't to piss off Brynn.
