Jordyn's POV

I lie in bed thinking of Shawn's words repeating over and over in my head. He looked so innocent. My eyes adjusted to the darkness as I looked at Nate's sleepy face. His mouth hung slightly open and his arms clung tightly around my waist. I've always felt so good in his arms, like there was no place I would have rather been. But now, everything's questionable. What if we aren't in love. What if we are just looking for someone to fill our wants and needs. My stomach churned as my mind wondered. No. It was me and Nate, til the end.

An hour passed and I looked at the time which read 6:15. Sighing, realizing I was not going to be able to go back to sleep, I through the covers from over my body and headed towards Isabelle's room. I was surprised as I expected her to be fast asleep but when I peeked into her room, I saw her snuggled under her covers scrolling through her phone.

''Izzy?'' I turned on her light as her eyes clenched shut and she hissed as if she was a vampire. ''What are you doing awake? It's 6 in the morning''. She shrugged her shoulder and sat up, rubbing the crust from her eyes.

''I don't know. I went to sleep then randomly woke up and if I'm up I'm gonna reach for my phone. Then, once the light from my phone hit my face it was literally impossible for me to fall back asleep''. I laughed, remembering similar things happening when I was a teenager. I was so used to waking up to my alarm clock that I started waking up minutes before it and I would get mad as hell because 4 minutes is still sleep!

''Haha. I get it''. I crawled into her bed with her and looked at her. ''So, what are you doing exactly.

''Stalking my husband''. I looked at her wide eyed, confused as ever. 

''Did you get married low-key and not tell me or something?'' She chuckled lightly but I was completely serious.

''Um. No. Well, not yet. We are married, he just doesn't know it''.

''Oh, like a celebrity crush?''. She nodded and I realized how dumb I must have sounded. ''Ha. So who is it. I always though Johnny Depp was hot. Or Channing Tatum. They do not seem to age''. She sent me a look of disgust and we both burst into a fit of laughter.

''No. They are so old''.

''Okay, then who''.

''Shawn Mendes''. The words hit me like a brick wall as I zoned out, thinking about what the hell she was talking about. ''Earth to Jordyn, you hear me?'' I nodded, taking her phone from her and noticing Shawn's face on her screen.

''Oh. Yeah. He's famous''. She looked at me like I just pulled her weave out. The look she gave me was so indescribable and I was honestly a little scared.

''Well duh. He's a famous singer, and my husband''. I nodded, confused. Was that why he thought I knew him? Mentally slapping myself in the forehead, i stood up. 

''Izzy, ive met him before''. She looked at me with wide eyes.

''No fucking way! Are you serious?'' I nodded, amused by her excitement. I mean, he's just a guy.

''Yea, he's our next door neighbor''. Her face froze and she stood up quietly. And with no warning, she started screaming and yelling with excitant and throwing things around her room. ''Jesus, he's just a guy".

''Just a guy? Fuck you mean, just a guy? That is my fucking soulmate and i am so happy-'' tears started pouring from her eyes an i ran over to comfort her.

''Izzy, whats wrong''.

''I'm so happy''. I laughed, releasing her from the hug we were in and walked away, leaving h er to cope on her own.   


''Is she okay''. A sleepy Nate walked out of our bedroom. His hair everywhere and his eyes squinted.

''Yeah, just being a normal teenager''. She gently smiled and pulled me closer to him, planting a soft kiss on my lips.

''Okay. Well I'm gonna take a piss and them ill meet you down stairs. Could you make some coffee?'' i nodded, making my way over to the stairs. ''Oh, wait, Jordyn. I forgot to tell you but i ran into our next door neighbor, Shawn. He said you guys so i invited him to dinner tonight''. No fucking way. Like damn, the dude is like a clingy bitch. I shrugged it off. Shawn wont try anything if Nate is there.

''OK babe''. He smiled and walked over to me, kissing me on the forehead on last time before rushing into the bathroom.


Hours had passed and all we did was sit around all day. Isabelle could not stop talking about Shawn, or should i say her husband, since she got the news that we were having him up. She talked him up like he was her boyfriend and she wanted us to like him.

Dinner was almost finished, i was making chicken parmesan and spaghetti with garlic bread. It was Isabelle's favorite and she insisted on me making it to impress Shawn. I rolled my eyes when she explained how important it was to impress him but i just went with it. She thinks he some little, innocent guy but she apparently doesn't know him like she says.

''Jordyn''. I looked at Nate who picked up his keys and slipped on his Tim's. ''We're going to the bakery down the street to get a cheesecake for dessert. Izzy's coming with to make sure it absolutely perfect''. He rolled his eyes, laughing since he knew about her big obsession.

''Okay bye, hurry back. Shawn should be here any minute''. He nodded, the door slamming shut behind them. Not even 2 minutes later, i heard a knock at the door. It has to be Shawn. I smoothed down my maxi skirt and pulled down my long sleeved cropped top down before opening the door.

''Hey''. Shawn stood in front of me. He was dressed in dark dress pants and a grey button down shirt that just hugged his body. His sleeve were rolled up and i could see the veins in his arms. Damn.

''Uh, hey''. I stepped aside as Shawn made his was inside, looking around.

''Nice place, thanks for having me by the way''. I nodded, heading back to the kitchen to check on the chicken in the oven. I Opened the oven door and pulled the chicken out and placed it on the counter. I jumped a little, as i felt Shawn's body against mine. His hands on my hips. My face flushed red, good thing he was standing behind me.

Standing up straighter, i pushed away from Shawn and began to set the table.

''Awe, Jordyn. I know you blushed''. I flashed Shawn a look of disgust and he smirked. ''I saw them leave baby, it's okay''. Making his way towards me, Shawn shoved me to the wall, pinning me, his leg between mine. My breath became unsteady and Shawn knew it.

''Do i make you, nervous''. His breath was hot not my neck, making the little hairs on my back stand up. ''Oh, i just love the effect i have on you. i just cant help. Cause girl, your beautiful.. And i cant deny i want your body, I want to see every inch of you''. 

Releasing me from his grip, he grabbed my hand and ran it down his muscular body and pulled me in closer. ''This could be all yours''. He whispered in my ear, making me weak at my knees.

Suddenly, the door opened and Shawn pulled away quickly just in time. Nate and Isabelle burst through the door as i tried to regain my oxygen levels.

''Oh my gosh! Shawn Mendes!''


This is going to be a long night.
