In The Middle

Chapter 7 : Menchies Meetup

C A M I L A

Finally got to Menchies!

I saw Shawn facing the other way, so I decided to go scare him.

I snuck up on him, quickly realizing that he was facing another figure.

It was a girl. 

"Boo!" I yelled, watching him not move at all.

He turned around,"Hey Mila!"

He hugged me, as I kissed his cheek.

"Oh by the way, this is Laur." I turned around to see a girl, a little taller than me, who was real pretty.

"Hi." she waved her hand awkwardly.

"Shawn has told me a lot about you in the past hour." she said awkwardly.

I looked at him and smiled.

She checked her phone,"I need to go now.. Bye Shawn, Shawn's friend."

"Laur" as Shawn called her went over to Shawn and tilted her head up so she could properly face him.

"See you Shawn." she hugged him and kissed his forehead.

I just stood there awkwardly, biting my lower lip.

Then "Laur" left.

"Menchies is closing now, scat." the rude manager told us.

We went outside.

It was beautiful.

Just the lights, no cars, no people.

Just Shawn and I.

We sat in chairs next to each other outside of Menchies, as the manager left and the workers.

I shivered a bit, and I guess Shawn could tell.

"You cold?" he asked me, as I bit my lip.

I nodded.

"Here take this." Shawn said, taking off his iHeartRadio sweatshirt.

"No, no Shawn." I laughed, declining his offer,"This only happens in those cheesy romance movies."

"This doesn't have to be awkward. We're best friends. No more than that." he told me.

"Let's just go to your car." I said.

"I walked here." he started laughing.

"Shawn!" I pushed his chest lightly.

I stood up to go over to him and he helped me put on the sweatshirt.

We started walking and I started shivering again.

His steps got closer to mine and he put his arm around me.

I jumped a little at first, but I realized he was trying to keep me warm.

I leaned my head on his chest, Shawn tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. I kept both my arms around his waist.

Our hands intertwined as one person of the paparazzi approached us.

"Shawn! Camilla! Are you dating?" he asked.

"Oh no, we're just friends." I told them.

"Camilla!"

"Shawn!"

It's CamEEla!

I heard the guy say multiple times.

"I thought you were dating Jacob?" the guy said.

Shawn looked at me.

I looked back.

I actually don't know if Jacob and I are dating...

"I mean, even if I was dating Jacob, or anyone else really, the details are for me to keep." I said.

S H A W N

She's dating Jacob?!

I want her to be happy, but the picture of her and Jacob together just makes me wanna throw up.

"I mean, even if I was dating Jacob, or anyone else really, the details are for me to keep." Camila told them.

She's hiding something...

"But, Shawn and I aren't dating." she told them,"We're just really good friends."

After that he got bored of asking questions and left.

"So.. how'd it go with Jacob?" I asked awkwardly.

"Uh, well," Camila responded,"He kissed me a couple of times.. tried making out with me a couple of times..."

Oh.

"He also nearly tried taking my clothes off." she said.

Jacob, that son of a-

"I don't think I'm into him anymore now." she continued,"I mean, he's really sweet and all but, I don't know if he's the right guy for me, Shawn. I wouldn't want this stuff in a relationship."

"If your with a guy, I just want you to be happy." I told her.

"Well.. Your the sweetest guy I know." she said, making me blush.

Camila just made me blush.

Woah.

Do I have feelings for her?

No.

Do I?

No..

Do I?
