Crazy, Crazy In Love

Chapter 3

*a few months later*

Aaliyah invited me to Thanksgiving. hsidheniiIJdbidbenzudb. Of course that skank hoe will be there.. ew. I've been hanging with Alex and Ezra who are Shawn's bestfriends.

Aaliyah: have you memorized Show You yet?

Well duh.

Me: yeah, I even got the fast part down pat! Yay.

Aaliyah wants to sing Show You (which is my favorite) with her. Shawn and Camila are playing IKWYDLS. That rat. Breathe Bell. "Bell, your dress is hanging up in the kitchen... this is a big day for you. Almost like your wedding day." he jokes. "Feels like it." I apply my winged eyeliner. I'm doing a natrual but suttle look. I've also been working on my sweet voice. You know, how when you meet new people and your voice goes up like ten octaves. "Gemma will be over to put the cameras and mics on me.." I laugh a bit. "Oh. Your seriously going through with that plan?" he asks. "Yeah, she will be watching his every move. Making sure to get it if he looks at me and I'm occupied with something else." I say in a 'duh' voice. "I hear her." he says just before she calls. "I'm here bitch!" her usual call. Gemma is more... unwise with her words. They just flow. I choose mine wisely, the only time I lose control is when I fangirl.

Gemma helps me get ready and it's time for me to leave. "I feel like I'm gonna barf." I straighten my dress. Aaliyah said she was on her way, and she only lives a few away. I get that quick text saying she's her and my stomach rumbles. "Oh my! What if I shit or piss myself?!" I cry out. See. Cant control it. "Just blame it on Camila. Go go. I'll be watching from my room.. hurry. And Arabella?" she stops me. "Yeah?" I ask. "Cover the cam if she use that bathroom." she smiles. "Sure thing mate." I nod. "Off I go.." I step outside. I hurry into her car because it's cold as Camila's heart out. "Wow, Bella. You look absolutely stunning.. this will go great!" she sqeald. "The dinner or me taking Shawn?" I ask. At first it was a joke until she agreeded with the latter.

We arrive and I feel like my dick is on fire. Woahhh wait. Ah man. I meant tummy. Silly Bella. Shawn's dick might be on fire after I get done with him. GOD I'M SO BAD. "Bella? You good?" she looks at me weirdly. "Oh yeah.. just nervous." I smile. We walk up to the door and Aaliyah walks in first. I take a deep breath in and say my fangirl prayer. "Dear God please don't let me lose my cool and die. Amen." I walk in casual. Not to weird. Sexy. Ok. I take slow steps and I pay attention to where I walk. The last thing I want is to fall. "Mom, this is Arabella. Bella, this is my mom Karen." she introduces us. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Mendes." I smile and shake her hand. Please don't be sweating Bell. "Wow, you are absolutely beautiful! Why can't there be more of you.." she mumbles the last part. "Thank you! May I say the same for you as well." I am nailing this. "Oh stop it! Your making me blush" she playfully swats at me. "Where's Shawn?" Aaliyah asks. Mrs. Mendes' face changed to annoyed. "In the kitchen." she says harshly. Oh. She must not like her either. YAYY. "Oh great! Arabella! Let's go meet Shawn!" she says happily. After looking at me she whispers, "Be the sexiest you can be honey." At first I was taken back, then I just smiled. Here I go.

I feel my palms begin to sweat and my knees start to shake the closer we get to the kitchen. The first step into that very room, I almost lose it. "Keep your shit Bell." I hear Gemma tell me. Watching the floor, I see two pairs of legs. One in black open toed heels, the other with black vans. Help me. "Shawn, Camila." her voice changed slightly. "This is Arabella, Aaliyahs bestfriend." her perky voice makes me even more nervous. I look up and at some point, we make eye contact. Butterfly's? No. Fireworks? Hell no. Fucking bombs exploded inside of me. Yes he is beautiful in pictures and videos but.. hot damn. He's so tall and.. muscley. A small smile for on his lips causing me to smile and look down. I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear while blushing like hell. "Oh my God! Aren't you cute as a button!" Camila ruins it by poking my nose. I groan..so does Mrs.Mendes. "hi, I'm Arabella. It's nice to meet you." I greet her. Nice. Haha..sike. "Same for you! Thats dress is absolutely beautiful, I have it right in my closet!" she says. Her squishy voice makes me cringe. "Oh really! Maybe we can twin one day!" I say. Hopefully she won't sense my sarcasm. Mrs.Mendes does. "Hi, I'm Shawn. Its a pleasure to meet you." he holds out his hand. Without thinking, I reach out and grab it. He grips it and shakes. Holy fuck. Grip my ass like this please dadd- woah. Camila shifts uncomfortly and he releases obviously not wanting to make his girl jealous.
