Chapter 4; the dinner

Eva...

We walk into the restaurant, and Shawn strides straight (lil sibilance there ;) sorry had to haha continue reading) ahead of us, not even glancing back to check if we were behind him. For all he knew we could have still been outside exchanging pleasantries with the cab driver.

We arrive at the table, a few moments after Shawn had and are greeted by many friendly faces. There's Jess, my makeup and outfit person, Alex my publicist and a couple of people who were part of the band. I had already graduated from school so I didn't need a tutor and neither did Shawn. Soon, we settled into our seats around the circular table and scanned the menu, deciding what we were going to eat. In the I decided to have some form of pasta that looked nice and to drink with that a lemonade. I sat comfortably in my seat listening to the conversations, not having a clue what they were talking about, until Alex starts talking to me

"Soo, Eva, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" He says,

"Um like what?" I replied fiddling with the ring on my finger, a nervous habit of mine.

"Where are you from?"

"Canada," I reply instantly, feeling my face light up with a smile.  "What about you?"

"New York, so is Jess and some of the band members, and Shawn's from-"

"He's from Canada like me, I know,"

At this point, Shawn's head turns to my direction from across the table, a scowl painted on his face. But he says nothing,

"How did you know that?" Alex asks with a smile,

"Because she's a huge fan, and just doesn't want to admit it." Shawn adds in,

"In your dreams, Andrew told me," I scoff "And i'm feeling a sense of de ja vu right now but I'll say it anyways, your input wasn't needed."

"I'll help you relive your de ja vu moment, your presence wasn't needed."

"My presence might not be needed, but you got it anyways! Thank me later,"

"How about I thank you never?"

I was going to reply, saying that what he said made no sense but I realised that everyone on our table had stopped talking themselves but were looking at Shawn and I, their faces a mix of bewildered and amused. Until, what they did next, which confused me and by the look on Shawn's face it confused him too. They all burst out laughing,

"This tour," Andrew said between laughter "Is going to be s-so much fun!"

For you, i added on in my head. From there, the dinner got better. Shawn and I avoided talking to one another like the plague which I was fine with. And the pasta, it was like the best thing I had ever tasted! I had learnt more and more about everyone and the of course had found a lot out about me, for example I hate mushrooms, seafood and tomatoes but I love Italian food, I mean who doesn't?! (AN, this is actually me irl haha) and before I knew it, it was already 11pm and we had to go back to the hotel. We walked outside where once again yellow cabs were waiting for us, and got into each one, this time I wasn't with Shawn, thank goodness! Instead I ended up going in with Jess, Simon the extra guitar person from the band and Jace the drummer. The ride was luckily not filled with an awkward silence, and we just talked about our lives back at home, where I mainly ended up going on about how amazing Noah was.

"Sorry, I kind of ranted there." I mutter (AN this is legit my catchphrase ngl haha)

"No, it's fine. You must really miss them, we understand! We've all gone through it, and it can be tough. In fact most people do when they go on tour."
