Chapter 21

Shawn's POV

"Thank you Atlanta, you guys are truly amazing and I'm grateful that I get to share this experience with you guys." I said waving to the crowd as I walked backstage. I was in a rush to get back to the bus today Monique told us that we can eat at another one of her restaurants that's here in Atlanta.

"Woah slow down there hot shot, where you going in such a rush?" Briana asked from beside me.

"N-Nowhere I just need to take a shower before we leave"

"Mhm but why?"

"What do you mean why? I don't wanna go out smelling like a foot" I said before turning around and walking faster to the bus

"Mhm sure. Don't think I haven't noticed" she yelled.  Making me stop in my tracks and turn around to see her smiling as she caught up to me

"I don't know what happened between you and Moni the other day but since then you guys have been right by each others side. The only time you're not is when you're on stage or in the restroom"

"I think your being a little over dramatic" I said nervously. Truth is we have been by each others side since the night she told me that Aaron hits her.

"I'm not being dramatic at all. I'm being realistic. I personally love it, I love how you guys stare at each other and how you guys act when you guys are around each other. It's just... That uhh... I mean she still kinda has a boyfriend" she said bitterly

"Yea I know, I haven't crossed any boundaries" I said

"I know you haven't. That's the problem"

"What?" I confusedly asked

"If you plan on making Moni yours you need to cross boundaries or else how is she going to know that your into her!?"

"Oh. But I don't wanna ruin anything if she doesn't like me the way I like her" I said truthful

"Are you fucking blind? Moni is... She's... She likes you okay. More than you think, trust me."

"But-"

"Uhuh no buts. Just trust me when I say she more than just likes you." She said putting her hand on my shoulder

"Alright" I said defeatedly

After taking a shower we headed over to the restaurant. I was smiling from ear to ear because this will be the first time I've seen Mo all day. I had 4 interviews in the morning so I didn't see her, in the evening she was at the gym doing some basketball drills and weight lifting and I was already headed over to the venue for the meet and greet then after that I had to get ready for the concert.

"Someone's a little happy tonight" Travis said

"Yea, I'm stoked that the tour is doing amazing" I said calmly

"Right bro" he said laughing and walking past me.

Am I really being so much happier that everyone can see it. If so I hope Mo doesn't realize it, I don't want to make things awkward or anything.

Walking into the restaurant we were immediately greeted by a few excited servers who appeared to be around my age.

"Hu- Hi Mr. Mendes your t-table is this way" a girl explained

"Great, lead the way and we'll follow" I said politely

The girl lead us through a lot of tables and up a flight of stairs before seating us at a very nicely set table. Sitting down and looking over the menu I wondered where Mo was. We've been here for almost ten minutes and she's still not here. I gave up Looking around anxiously after a couple of minutes of not being able to find her.
