Chapter 29

Camila

"Shawn," I said as we pulled away,

"Why did you do that to me?" I asked him, seconds later to broke our silence,

"Because I still love you, Mila. I can't do that anymore, I can't take you as my friend or best friend, I want to take you as my girlfriend and soon to be my wife in the future," he explain as he held his tears,

Okay, he's crying but he tried so hard to not cry in front of me. I know, he's such a good guy, I do love him too, but I can't take him as my boyfriend, it's just too hard for me.

"Shawn, I'm so sorry for this, I really need my time for that," I said,

"Wait, what time is it?!" I said, shockingly,

"It's about 7 pm?" he said,

"Oh gosh, I might be late, I'm so sorry, I have to get ready now," I said,

I literally now have a job at the same cafe with Shawn I sing there to entertain all the customers there. But I'm only there in night because I got night shift.

"I have to go, now. Can you take care Sofi, she's a good girl, you already know it, yeah?" I said as I put my shoes on,

"Where are you going?" Shawn asked,

"I have a job now," I said,

"You are? Where? What are you doing?" he asked so many questions,

"Yeah, um, at the cafe, and I sing there," I said,

"Okay, no more questions, I have to go now or I might be late," I said,

"Can I take you there?" he said,

"Shawn, who will take care of Sofi? Are you crazy?" I said,

"Just let her go with us too," he said, he still force himself to join with me,

"Damn, okay, okay, I'll call Sofi," I said as I walked up to her room in the upstairs,

Minutes later, I came down with Sofi and we really have to go because I'm about to be late.

As we're arrived, I decided to get out from the car and walked faster to the cafe. I'm so late about this and my boss probably might be so mad at me if he knew about this.

"Well, good night, everyone. I'm Camila Cabello and I'm here to sing for you, guys. I got two songs and I hope you all like it," I said as I told the guitarist to play the intro and the music,

I saw Shawn walked in to the cafe with Sofi and they both looked so cute. I never saw Shawn with kids before and he's not even close too with Sofi so it looked amazing to see them both together.

Shawn approached the barista and the barista might be his friend because they looked close together. He bought some donuts and frappucino for Sofi, look how darling he is.

"Thank you guys, well I gotta take a rest for seconds and I will continue it, good night," I said as I walked down from the stage,

"Well, you sounds amazing," Shawn said,

"Yeah, she is, Shawn," Sofi said,

"Thanks a lot, I gotta order a water, be right back," I said,

"No, I brought you one," Shawn said as he handed me a bottle of water,

"Thanks," I said as I took that bottle from his hand,

"I have to continue, good bye," I said,

"Mila, can I join? We can do a duet," he offered himself, I can't believe he can sing too, I mean I only saw him playing with guitar and never heard him singing,

"Seriously? You can sing?" I asked, surprisingly,

"I do, oh God," he said as he stood up from his chair,

"Okay, let me see and I hope it's gonna be good," I said as I walked to the stage,

"Hi, guys. I brought a friend here, his name is Shawn Mendes and we're gonna do a duet," I introduced himself to the customers,

I saw him put on the guitar on himself and start to string the guitar. I asked him what we'll gonna sing and we finally pick a song to sing to impress the customers.

"I'm Camila Cabello and he is Shawn Mendes and we're gonna sing Love Yourself by Justin Bieber. I hope you all like it," I said,

Shawn started to do the intro and play the guitar. He opened the song and his voice impressed me a lot. Wow, he has a very beautiful voice, I admit it, and it's amazing to hear his voice.

Minutes later, we finally finished the song. We're having so much fun to sing the song, we do. I would like to ask him to join my job later and we probably should doing a cover and post it on YouTube. That would be cool, right?

"Thank you so much, thank you. We hope you guys having a good night and yeah, we have to go now. Thank you, I'm Camila," I said,

"I'm Shawn," Shawn continued my words,

"And we're off," I said.

The spotlights were off and we walked down from the stage to where Sofi took a seat.

"You guys are amazing!!" Sofi said, excitingly,

"Thanks, Sofi. Your sister did an amazing job," Shawn said,

"Whatever, Shawn. You did an amazing job too," I said,

"Shall we go now?" Shawn said, he seems ignoring my words but whatever,

"Yeah, let's go," Sofi said,

Tonight was probably the best performance I've ever given to the customers. Without Shawn, it will never be like that, I won't give that an amazing performance.

Well, thank you Shawn for helping me. You are such an amazing person, I never regret that I ever loved you or I ever called you as my boyfriend.

I said in my heart.
