Shawn Mendes Imagines

#36 Aaliyah

A/N: so this one was inspired by one of Shawn's answers at one of his latest q&a's. Hope you like this one!

ALSO!! I changed the book cover. Please let me know what you think?? Xxx love you loads!

"Hey y/n" you heard Aaliyah's voice on the other side of the phone. You had been laying in your bed, simply going through your twitter and instagram when she called you. "Hey Liyah" you answered her.

"Well..." she started but didn't go on, as if she didn't know how to say it. You kept silent, waiting for her to get it out. "I basically just called you because I think I need some advice. And like, I think you could help me out best, I guess. And I know you weren't coming over tonight but I was just wondering..." you chuckled at her stuttering. "I'll be over in a sec Liyah."

You heard her letting out a breath "thank you" she said before she hung up. You were dressed in some leggings and a black shirt of Shawn so you just put on your shoes and grabbed your car keys. "I'm driving over to Shawns, might stay the night" you told your parents who were watching tv in the living room they waved you goodbye and you left.

About ten minutes later you arrived at Shawns. Before you could even ring the door bell the door was opened and Aaliyah waved at you. "Come in" she whispered. You giggled as you followed her up the stairs, both of you trying to be quiet. When you finally reached her bed room and she carefully closed the door you looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry but as soon as Shawn knows you're here he won't leave your side and I needed to talk to you alone." "Alright" you said, laughing quietly whilst sitting down on her bed and patting the empty space beside you. "Sit down and tell me what's up."

She did as you said and stuttered a bit, fumbling with her hands before she finally opened up. "Well there's this boy and I really like him and he seems to like me too, I mean at least he asked me out on a date and obviously I said yes but-" "wait, you have a date??" You exclaimed excitedly. "Shht" Aaliyah looked at you with widened eyes. "I don't want Shawn to know. He would flip out if he knew about this."

You giggled a little at the thought of Shawn knowing Aaliyah having a date. She was right, he would flip out. He was just way too protective over her. But her comment also made your heart warm up. Her telling you about this boy meant she trusted you and that really meant a lot to you.

"I won't tell him. But now about the boy, what's his name, do you have pictures?" You asked, trying to stay as calm and quiet as possible. Now that Aaliyah knew you wouldn't laugh about her she finally started to tell you everything. His name was Jacob, he looked really cute in the pictures, tall, dark blonde hair and blue eyes. They had a few classes together and she often went to his basketball matches with some of her friends. Her eyes lit up talking about him and you thought it was adorable how she seemed to really like him.

"And now he asked me what I wanted to do on our date but I just can't come up with anything. I don't want it to be boring and like a date he could have with any other girl you know?" You nodded understandingly.

"You could go to a hockey match together. Then he'd have an idea of what you are like. And he plays basketball so he probably likes watching sports anyway. And afterwards you could grab something from Tim Hortons and just walk through town for a little bit" you suggested and Aaliyah's lips formed to a smile. "I love that" she exclaimed loudly and Immediately pressed her hand onto her mouth in shock.

You heard Shawns bed room door open and footsteps coming closer. "When did you start to talk to yourse-" Shawn started as he opened the door but stopped as he saw you. "What are you doing here?" He asked, a confused expression on his face. "I'm happy to see you too, thank you my love" you giggled. You got up from the bed and got closer to him to press a kiss onto his cheek. But Shawn didn't let you distract him. His eyes kept switching between you and his sister. "What are the two of you hiding from me?" He asked. "Nothing" Aaliyah quickly answered. "You're my sister, it's easy for you to lie to me" he said unimpressed before he turned to you. "What were you talking about?"

From the corner of your eyes you saw the fear evident in Aaliyah's eyes. Of course, Shawn was your boyfriend and you didn't want to lie to him about anything but this was something different. Aaliyah had trusted you with a secret and it was a lot better if she kept talking to you about things she didn't want Shawn to know than nobody. And eventually Shawn would find out about the boy anyway. until that happened you would figure something out that would make him calm down about the idea of Aaliyah having a boyfriend.

"Actually, I called liyah and asked her whether I could come over. Your dads birthday is coming up and I know that it's going to be all fancy this year with a huge celebration and the whole family is coming over and I just didn't know how to dress and I thought I'd ask her for advice since I didn't want to bother you with that kind of thing." You tried really hard to hold back a laughter. This sounded totally stupid but Shawn seemed to believe you. "Well, do you know what you're gonna wear now?" He asked and you nodded with a smile, acting as innocent as possible. "Perfect" he smiled too and grabbed your hand.

"Are you staying the night?" he asked and you shrugged. "If you want me to?" "I always want you" he smirked and you blushed. "Guys, get a room" Aaliyah exclaimed, making a disgusted face but mouthing thank you to you as soon as Shawn had turned around to walk out, laughing at his little sister.

"No problem" you mouthed back, following Shawn towards his room. You two laid down on his bed and you cuddled up close to him. He stroked your hair, pressing a kiss on top of your head. "Y/n?" He asked and you looked up at him. "You do know that you can talk to me about anything right? Even the clothes you want to wear to my dads birthday party." Your heart started melting and you grabbed Shawns face, kissing him passionately. "I do know that, but thank you for reminding me." He smiled, seeming relieved. You cuddled back into his chest.

Tomorrow you would talk to Aaliyah. Together you would tell Shawn about her date. He might not like it at first, but all he wanted was to protect his sister.
