Texting / Shawn Mendes

A Wedding: Part 1

Hey

Em.. You've just left. Did you forget anything?

No.. Well I just wanted to ask you... What are you doing tonight?

Absolutely nothing. Why?

Well I was wondering if you'd like to come somewhere with me?

Oh really? Where?

Em.. To my friend's wedding?

Me? Are you sure about this?

Yeah. I think it will be fun.

I'm a little sceptical about it...

Why?

So many people will be there.. Aren't you afraid that people will start rumours about us?

No.. We are just friends.

I know. But they don't.

It's fine Malia. Be ready at 5.

I've never said yes?

Oh.. You're right...my bad... I forgot to tell you. You don't have an option anymore. I've already sent a dress to your house. Get ready.

Shawn! Stop okay? I'll come but I don't need a dress. I'll just go and buy one.

You don't have time, Malia. Just.. Just get ready please.

Fine!

I'll be there in 2 hours.

K.

Don't k me!

K.

Omg stop it!

Ahah I'm just kidding
Not really..

-2 hours later-

I'm finally ready. I walked down the stairs and the front door opened, making me jump a little.

My mom came in, holding her purse and a bag with takeaway food. She was talking on the phone and she was looking down so she hasn't really noticed that I looked like I'd go meet Obama.
She finally turned to me and her eyes were wide open. Her mouth parted and a shocked expression painted her face.

"I'll... I'll call you later Mary" she said before a loud exclamation escaped her lips.
"You're so beautiful, honey! You told me that you would go out with Shawn again but what did I miss?" she asked while her eyes were scanning me.

"Shawn wanted me to go with him at his friend's wedding"

"Oh"

She seems to finally understand what is going on.

My phone rings and I quickly answer.
"I'm outside"

"I'm coming." I replied and ended the call.

I walked outside the house, being careful not to fall. 3 boys were waiting for me, and they all had a welcoming smile on their faces. As soon as Shawn saw me, he came closer to me to help me walk down the steps of my house. I could listen to my mom calling Shawn and he chuckled. He weaved at her and he smiled happily at her.

"Malia this is Andrew, my manager and this is Geoff." Shawn said showing each one of them with his hand.
"Nice to meet you guys" I said shyly and I shook hands with both of them.
"So you're the girl that Shawn's always texting" he said smiling.

Shawn blushed and a small chuckle escaped his lips.

"I guess." I said looking at him.

"Well, we should get going." Andrew said from inside the car. When did he go in there?

All three of them sat in the backseat of the car. I guess they wanted me to be more spacious and left the front seat just for me.

A couple minutes later, and we finally arrived. A huge, white building with trees all around it. It seemed like a castle. Bouquets of red roses created a narrow path to the main entrance.

The place was filled with people. I started feeling uncomfortable since I didn't know anyone else but Shawn.
Shawn looked at me with worried eyes.

"Everything okay?" he asked

"Yeah.. Do you know where the washroom is?"

Andrew appeared from behind him and offered to guide me. He started walking and I followed him.

"Malia I need to tell you something."

"Okay?" I replied unsure about what he would possibly tell me.

"As you saw, they are many people in there, and in order to protect him and you as well from any rumours, I have to ask you to keep your distance from Shawn. Can you please act like you don't know him? I think that in this way it will be easier to protect both of you."

I stand there, unable to talk. I'm trying to process everything he said but I still can't give him an answer. I want to say something but it feels like I can't find the right words.

He stares at me waiting for my answer, but nothing comes out. What am I supposed to say? I really don't know. Should I pretend that I've never seen Shawn before and protect him? Does he even know that Andrew want me to do so? Will he be mad after this?

"Does he know?"
