Shawn Mendes Imagines

113: Spotlight (Request)

This imagine is for the lovely mahonesarmy742 so I hope you enjoy it! No more requests by the way!

Aleska's POV:

"It's three am, I need coffee." Shawn groans as we stare at lyrics on the sheet.

"We have one more verse of 'Be There', let's go." I try to stay positive, even though I can barely keep my eyes open.

"How are you so positive?" He chuckles.

"I get slap happy past midnight." I reply. "Now get your booty into the booth and let's do this."

Shawn smirks as he goes into the recording booth, placing headphones over his ears. His voice makes the lyrics to the love song sound even sweeter and more loving.

Three months later

The makeup artist finishes placing the powder on my face just as the stage director comes in the green room.

"Five minutes." He holds up his hand to get our attention.

"I can't believe I'm getting ready to go on Ellen." I look over at Shawn who's getting his hair fixed. He smirks.

"No matter how many times I do this, I still get nervous." He chuckles. "But I promise to make sure you feel comfortable up there."

Before I know it, we're standing on the set, watching Ellen Degeneres introduce us to the cameras and the crowd.

"Last year, Shawn Mendes held a contest where one lucky and talented fan had the chance to write a song with the 18 year old singer for his third album. Young Aleska won that contest, and she and Shawn Mendes are here to perform their new hit for the first time in front of a live audience." Ellen motions to us, as the beat to the song begins.

Shawn and I sing our hearts out and before we know it, the song ends. The crowd goes absolutely insane. I laugh in disbelief as Shawn hugs me, smiling like the Cheshire cat.

"You did amazing, Aleska." He says into my ear. He leans back and places a kiss on my cheek just as Ellen reaches the two of us.

"Wow, you two. That was incredible. You guys get to perform this at the Grammys tomorrow evening, correct?" She compliments. Shawn and I nod, both out of breath from singing. "All right, well best of luck to you guys. All you lovely people in the audience can preorder Shawn's third album featuring the amazing song you just heard today. We'll be right back."

"Thank you so much for having me again, I really enjoyed performing. We have a flight to catch, so we're gonna have to head out, but again, thank you so much." Shawn shakes Ellen's hand politely.

"No problem, have fun guys! Thanks for coming by Aleska!" She waves. Shawn gently takes my hand and we quickly run out to the cars waiting for us outside.

********

"Oh my god, this is so nerve wracking." I whisper, wringing my hands together. The stage crew is bustling about around us, preparing the hydraulic stage to lift us up.

"You're going to do amazing, Aleska, I promise. Oh, did I tell you? You look stunning." Shawn smirks. The lights come on, and we can hear the host introducing us. The stage begins to rise below us, lifting us into the spotlights. And that's when I realize how truly lucky I am.
