I wish you lived next door | Shawn Mendes fanfiction

Just when things were getting back to perfect

Emma's POV
Me and Shawn are having dinner in Utrecht. Suddenly I see girls taking pictures of us. I quickly hide behind the menu and I put my hood on.

"Shawn there are girls taking pictures of us."

I see that he's getting annoyed. "Okay i'm sorry but stay hidden. They can't know who you are."

"Yeah how do you want me to do that? I can't hide at a menu the whole evening."

Shawn sighs. He hands me his sunglasses. "Here. I'll pay. Just walk away. I'll call you so we can meet again. Don't show your face."

I nod. I put my hands in front of my face and walk away. I see that one girl is following me so I walk faster and faster untill she loses me in the crowd.

I walk into the Pull & Bear because my brother Mike works there and his boss is my father's best friend. We're really close so he wouldn't bother.

"I'm sorry we're closed." This really mean girl with blonde, almost white hair gives me a strange look.

"Yeah, I know. But I need to see Mike."

"Uh okay. I'll go get him for you."

After a while Mike walks down the stairs. "Emma what are you doing here. And where is.. You know."

"Mike." I walk towards him and I whisper in his ear. "There were girls taking pictures of us and I needed to walk away without showing my face. Shawn is paying for our dinner and then he comes for me but I needed some place to hide."

"Well that sucks, you can stay here. I'm working upstairs. I'd sit there because they can see you here through the windows."

I nod. "Thank you."
Me and my brother are very close. He's 18 and I'm 16 so the age difference isn't that big. I always have a friend around me. Also, he is always there for me and that's probably the number one reason why I'm happy to have him.

We walk upstairs and I text Shawn where I am.
After about 15 minutes I get a text back.
"Sorry couldn't find it at first but I'm here."

"Oh Mike he's here. Thank you so much."

Mike smiles. "Always."

I walk down the stairs and see shawn waiting outside through the window. I open the door and step outside.

"There you are."

I make a tiny smile. You can see that it's fake obviously.

"I'm so sorry. I want to just ignore it and show the world how happy I am with you but I just don't want any drama. And the last thing I want is that you'll get hate."

"I get it. I'm still hungry tho. Mc Donalds?"

Shawn laughs. "Let's do that."

Shawn's POV
"So how was your burger?" I ask Emma.
"Per-fect." She smiles. "Wanna go walk around in Utrecht?"

After we walked around in Utrecht for about an hour it's getting dark.

"We should probably take the bus home. There is nothing to do here anymore." Emma tells me.

"Okay. But Emma.."

She looks at me and I look at her.

"What is it?"

"I'm so sorry. These girls totally screwed up our dinner and I never wa.."

Emma cuts me off.
"Stop. I had a perfect evening. Yeah it totally sucked that we didn't get to finish dinner in that restaurant but we eventually did in the Mc Donalds which was delicious too. And as long as i'm with you, i'm happy."

I smile. Emma puts her hands on the side of my face and I put my hands on her hips. We kiss.

FLASH

We quickly stop kissing. I look at Emma. She looks scared. I think I look scared too because I am.

"Shit Shawn, somebody just took a picture of us kissing right? There is seriously never paparazzi or anything here. Shit Shawn we fucked up." Emma is stressing so much.

FLASH

"Okay Emma the paparazzi is behind you. They can't see your face. We need to keep it that way. We gotta go. NOW"

Emma puts her hands in front of her face.

I see more and more flashes.

We run away untill we can't see the paparazzi anymore.

"Those girls must have told everybody that you're in Utrecht. That's why there is suddenly paparazzi."

I nod. "It's okay. They can't see your face."
