I Don't Even Know Your Name

I'm So Glad I Met You...

*Ruth's POV*

When I woke up the next day, the first thing I did was check my phone for any messages from Shawn. Sure enough, I had gotten two messages from him that read:

"Been thinking about you all night."

"I can't wait to see you today."

The first message was sent at 4:08 A.M, and the second was sent at 9:50 A.M. He is such a sweet heart, but I couldn't believe he was up so late. I hope he isn't too tired today.

I got up to go make a smoothie for breakfast. I took it back to my room and sat in my bed to watch the videos that I recorded on my phone from the concert last night. I recorded "Bad Reputation" and "Hold On". I watched them both over and over until my brain was spinning with the lyrics.

"Ruuuuuth!" My Mom yelled from her room.

Lord, what does my Mother want now.

"What?!" I yelled back.

"Come here!" She said.

I immediately got up to walk to her room.

"How was the concert last night?" My Mom asked.

Oh my God, I just realized that Mom didn't know. I was so excited to tell her, but.... at the same time, what will she think? Shit, I really hope she doesn't get mad at me. I don't want my parents to put me on lock down. I hate how overprotective they are when it comes to men. Wait, why would they get mad? It's Shawn Mendes, surely they would understand..... Right?

"Um....Well here's the thing." I started.

"What honey? Did you not have fun? I thought you loved Shawn Mendes." My mom spoke in a questioning tone.

"No, it was amazing. Just at the meet and greet, Shawn kinda.... sort of... asked me to come backstage and sing with him after the show. Leigh and I got to sit in the pit, and I got to go on stage and sing with him too." I said with a nervous grin on my face.

"Oh my gosh, are you serious?" My mom asked.

"Yes...."

"There's no way....really? I just can't believe it, that's great! I bet you had a lot of fun!" She said.

"It was really fun, I couldn't believe it either." I said, still hesitant.

"Why do you sound so nervous Ruth?"

"Because, I know how you and Dad are about boys."

"Honey, it's not like he asked you on a date. I'm sure similar things have happened to other fans of other famous people before. I'm so glad you got to do that!"

"Yeah I had a blast! Its just, there's one more thing....He kind of gave me his number, and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him at his hotel today."

"Oh." She said.

"...Is that okay? You know, if I hang out with him?"

"Well, if you do, I would want him to come here, I wouldn't want you there with him by yourself. I know that you're an adult, and that you trust him, but you still never really know a person until you've spent a lot of time with them." My Mom said.

"Oh my gosh Mom, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!" I exclaimed, running to her bedside, then hugging her tight. "I promise you will love him Mom, he is super nice, and so sweet. And his voice is even more beautiful in person than in recordings! Oh my gosh thank you so much Mom!"

"Haha you're welcome. Just make sure if you guys go in your room that you keep the door open." My Mom said firmly.

"Okay, I will!"
