Patience ➳ Shawn Mendes

Chapter 17

Our flight took off earlier than we anticipated so we arrived earlier as well, already at 12.30. We quickly got our baggage and pulled over a cab pretty soon. By 1.15 we were already checked in but there had been a mix up in the system.

Instead of a two bed bedroom, there was a single bed bedroom booked for us. Instead of making a big fuss over it, we just took the keys and went up.

"You know, I can take the couch if you want." He said as we took in the suite that we got.

There was a huge bed dominating the room but there was also a couch. With Shawn's height I doubted that he would be very comfortable sleeping in it.

"Uhm, Shawn, have you seen the couch? I don't think you'll be very comfortable."

"I've been on a tour bus with the guys of MAGCON, trust me I can get very comfortable in uncomfortable enviroments." He assured me.

"Shawn, no. We can share the bed, we are friends after all." I told him.

It was okay with me, I didn't mind him sharing a bed with me. We were only friends and I was okay with sharing a bed with him, the times I shared a bed with my male best friend in Belgium- I can't count on one hand.

I trusted Shawn enough to do that because I knew he would never invade my personal space. He would keep his distance and stay on his side.

"Are you sure?" He asked, sitting on the small couch.

"Shawn, I know you wouldn't invade my personal space." I told him, sitting on the arm of the couch. "If you want to spend the night apart though, I can go down and see if I can get us in a different room."

"If you're really okay with us sharing a bed, I don't mind. Actually, I would really like it. Now, I know we can go to the park today but you can do it in three days so if you don't mind, we could Skype my friends in Chino? They have been asking for it."

"You want to Skype with Cam and Nash? With me?" I asked, knowing exactly who lived in Chino.

"You knew that of the top of your head?"

"What can I say? I was a fan of MAGCON."

"Really?" He asked bewilderd

"Really." I confirmed. "If you would've come to Belgium, I would've gone to one of your conventions but you didn't and dad didn't allow me to come here, to America."

"I didn't know you had been a fan."

"I was, if I knew a convention was happening, I would look for videos and vines from Cameron or you." I confided. "I was such a fan, of both of you. I still am, you know? I love Cam's vines and your voice. I was always in love with it." And now I'm in love in love with you.

"I didn't know. Now, are you up for it?"

I shrugged. "Sure, why not. You can start already but I am going to check if we have reservations tonight and if we do, where it is."

"If we don't have reservations, I'm totally up for SUBWAY."

I chuckled. "I'm sure you are. Go Skype, I'll check for reservations."

I took my luggage and opened it, looking for the paper Mom had given me with all the things Dad had set up for me to do. I found it at the bottom of my bag and read over the stuff Mom had written down.

Seemed like it would be SUBWAY because Dad had gotten us reservations for Thursday and Friday. Our plane would leave late in the evening on Saturday and we should be back home early in the morning.

Perfect.

As I walked back into the area where Shawn was sitting with his laptop in his lap, I heard my name.

"I'm telling you guys that she is amazing! She is everything I ever wanted in a girl. She is beautiful, kind, loyal and giving. Sure, she has some personal issues but she is also stronger because of them. Everything she does... she does it with a smile." He was ranting on about me. "She is a dancer and a vivid reader. She has a Youtube channel where she talks about books and other things like movies and CD's and stuff like that. She is also one of the biggest Harry Potter fans I know. We sometimes talk about it for hours."

"She seems perfect for you." That was Cam's voice.

"Yeah, dude, she seems like your kind of girl." That was Nash.

"If only she would say yes when I ask her on a date."

"She will soon, you just need to have patience."

"Yeah, dude. From what you tell us, she'll cave in soon and when she does, make sure it is special."

"Of course it will be special. She is special, she needs to have a date worthy of her."

"Wow."

"You're in love."

"I am. She is the one guys, she means as much to me as my music does."

"Dude... that's amazing! Congratulations."

"You deserve it."

"Thanks guys, yo- Hey Char."

I walked into the room innocently, as if I hadn't just heard Shawn admit that the loved me. He said I was the one. THE ONE.

I didn't know about that but it was definitely a possibility. My feelings for Shawn were strong, stronger than anything I had ever felt for anyone I've ever met or had feelings for. All that I had ever felt for my exes was a crush and I always stayed with them because it was convenient, safe. It was not the right reasons to stay with someone but at that time it was what I thought was right.

"Hi Shawn. Hey Cameron, hey Nash."

"Hi." They said in unison. "It's nice to finally meet you."

What the heck? The duo known as Cash was still speaking in unison. This is very creepy if it isn't rehearsed.

"Thanks... you too."

They didn't seem to pick up on my hesitation towards them because they immediately bombarded me with questions which I gladly gave answer to.

In the end, I found out that the pair was actually quite funny and I wouldn't mind getting to know them better.

Merry Christmas!

OMG, I just opened my presents and my parents got me the special edition of Illuminate.

Whaa, I'm freaking out!

I already had the deluxe version and now the special edition...

Can this get any better?

Let me know what you guys got for Christmas as well.

By the way, there are no pictures.
