Chapter 28: Reunited And It Feels So Good

Shawn's Pov-

          Four months. It's been four months of Camila and I trying to juggle our relationship with me being on tour and her being a new student at the University Of Arizona. Going away for tour never gets easier— in fact, it becomes harder every time. It's something that I hate seeing Camila have to go through along with my friends and family. I know I'm not looking at it from the bigger picture which includes the fans, and the tons of people that I'm making happy every single night just by performing my music for them, but sometimes things get hard and you just get irritated of Facetiming people back home while having shitty Wifi service at venues.
        Despite any sadness I had felt these last four months all of it was coming to an end tonight. Tonight I'm performing in Phoenix. Since Camila goes to school in Arizona now this finally gives her and I the chance to see each other again. I've missed her so much. We've fallen asleep together on the phone almost every night on tour but that's not nearly enough. I want to feel her, I want to touch her, I want to kiss her and never let her go. I also wouldn't mind getting my back scratched from her since she's the best back scratcher in the world but that is besides the point, Camila is the only person besides Geoff (my guitar technician and close friend) and Brian (my best friend that comes with me on tour) that can help me get rid of my nervous jitters.

Camila's Pov-

     I woke up at 11am today and it felt amazing. Being a college kid you can't really sleep in anymore and I've missed days like these so much. Ever since I moved out here for school all by myself things have been hard. I stay in touch with my friends back home and my family too of course but it's weird being on your own. Tonight that was all ending. Tonight I was going to see the boy I love with every fiber in my body. I was so nervous he hasn't seen me in four months. What if he thinks i've gotten fat or if he doesn't like the bangs I got. I shook my head because I was overthinking this too much. Shawn loves me and I know that there is no reason to be stressed out about tonight. The most difficult part for me is not having Shawn with me though. Most night it feels like I don't even have a boyfriend anymore. Although, I'd never let Shawn know about this. I know how much he overthinks and if he knew how much he's really hurting the girl he wholeheartedly loves it would eat him alive. Shawn is very protective and gentle towards me. When he wasn't on tour we'd go out to restaurants or museums downtown in the city and he'd make sure none of the paparazzi got too close to me or said anything inappropriate in front of me. It would absolutely destroy and kill Shawn if he knew how much my heart stings every time I hear or read his name. Our Facetime calls have gotten shorter, our texts are extremely repetitive, and I just miss holding my boyfriend's hand and running errands with him. Although it's not all bad, I've made friends around campus and we always have study dates. We also always go out to movies, dinners, and we just hang out a lot in general. One of the girls in my psychology class was partners with me on the first week of school and her name is Hailee. Hailee and I clicked almost immediately and I consider her a sister now.

      The day went on and I didn't start getting ready until 5pm. I had told Hailee that I was bringing her and she was super excited because she's heard Shawn's music before and she loves concerts. I heard the doorbell ring. "Come in Hails , it's open!" I shouted knowing that it was Hailee because I told her to come over and get ready with me. I came into the living room as she shut the door with her foot since her hands were filled with her clothes, makeup bag, and hair supplies. I take the makeup bag and hair curler and set them down in my bathroom as her and I get ready together.
       Minutes go by as Hailee and I are both looking better and better. Tonight I was going to wear my high waisted blue jeans, my cropped white blouse and some heels. Hailee showed me the dress she was wearing and it was so beautiful. It was a very formal looking maroon dress that cut off right at her knees. "Camila do you think you and Shawn are going to-" I cut her off before she could finish saying that sentence "HAILEE!" I yelled as we both started hysterically laughing. "What it's a honest question? Yes or no?" she said as she started dramatically winking at me. "Oh God Hailee, I don't know. I mean i'd like to think so..." I said as I started blushing and putting on my mascara. "Aw Mila don't be embarrassed. What's wrong with you any other girl would proudly take this torch and scream on the top of her lungs that she gets to bang Shawn Mendes!" Hailee said as she put her hair into a neat bun & pulled down a few curled strands of hair. I sighed, "I know but we've only ever done it once and he's just really protective over me. The entire time he kept asking if it hurt and I literally had to tell him to stop talking because it felt great." I said as Hailee started hysterically laughing. "Okay well then that makes sense. Camila he just cares about you, he's a really big guy and you're the smallest person I know." she said as she finally caught her breath from laughing so much.

Shawn's pov-

   My security guard Jake usually talks to the fans before I start my q&a to tell them the rules and how it all goes down. I thought O'd see Camila already but it's nearly 7pm, q&a ends at 7:30, and the show starts at 9 and there is still no sign of her. My team was acting sketchy because whenever I'd ask them they brushed it off or ignored me which was strange because they're usually on top of it.

     "You in the maroon sweater thingy!" I pointed to the left side of the room as the fans were smiling and giggling. A very soft spoken girl sat up straight before asking me her question. "What do you do to get rid of your nerves before a show?" I took a moment to answer her question. "Umm usually I try to listen to really mellow music. So anything John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, and lately it's been a lot of Khalid too. I also love tea and it's really nice to soothe my voice on days where I don't feel too g-" I was soon cut off. A girl with long dark brown hair stood up with a figure exactly like Camila's. "And he also calls his girlfriend because she knows exactly what to say when he's feeling nervous." Everyone in that room started cheering and laughing. It's like every single phone started going off at once and the camera flashes were going off. "OH MY GOD CAMILA!!!" I nearly yelled as the fans scooted to the side to make room for her as she made her way onto the front of the room where I was sitting. I turned around to my team and whispered "Did you guys know about this??" I questioned them as they all started hysterically laughing. "Shawny I've missed you sooo much" Camila said as I took in her warm embrace and the fans aww'd in the background. She plopped herself onto the table I was sitting on and we both started picking and answering questions that the fans had. I was in such utter shock that Camila was really here that I honestly don't remember half of the things I said during that q&a.

Camila's pov-

       Thirty minutes until showtime. Shawn and I caught up and I even introduced Shawn to Hailee. They clicked instantly and I knew that they would get along. Hailee plays guitar too and Shawn gave her one of his guitar straps because she's a beginner and he said it had a really nice grip on it. Shawn and I have been cuddling on the couch in his dressing room for about an hour and we talked about absolutely everything and anything. "Shawn you don't know how much I've missed all of this." I said as he pulled me closer to his chest. "Trust me baby I really do" he sighed and I felt my eyes getting watery. I just missed him so much and now that we're finally together I want everything around me to stop. I want the time to freeze and never pick back up. I want it to be just Shawn and I forever. "Mila cheer up babe. Tomorrow I have a day off and we're actually going to spend the entire day together." He said as I sat up to get a water bottle from his refrigerator. I noticed him licking his lips. "What..." I said as I gave him a confused smile. He nodded and laughed "No, no nothing It's just that..." he stood up and cornered me as I dropped the water bottle from my hands. "I forgot how badly I wanted your body on top of mine every single night in that bunk on the bus." He said as he put his fingers through my hair and held onto my waist with another while pulling me closer to him. "Shawn you know we can't do anything right now you're abou-" aaaand I was cut off almost like it was on cue. "Shawn you're on in 10 minutes head down to the main stage please!" one of his stage directors yelled as he knocked on Shawn's dressing room door. "Alright I'm coming!" Shawn agreed. I bit my lip as he loosed his grip on my waist. "You are not off the hook Cabello. We are going to finish when I come back." He said as I rolled my eyes. "Sure thing Mendes." I said as I grabbed my jacket and headed down with him so he could go onstage.
