The Beautifully Reckless

Chapter Twenty Two

Mila-Rose's POV
I wake up the next morning curled into Jonah's side, still on the couch. I look around and see no one else on the first floor. I sit up and rub my eyes and carefully crawl out from under Jonah's arm. I walk into the kitchen and make some coffee. Jonah walks in a couple seconds later and leans on the counter next to me. "Good morning." He says, rubbing his eyes. I smile softly at his morning voice. "Morning baby." I say and kiss his cheek. He smiles and pecks my lips. I make him a cup of coffee once mine is done and we sit down at the kitchen table together. "I don't think I've ever heard your house this quiet." Jonah says, sipping his coffee. "It's peaceful but it's weird. But it's nice waking up next to you this morning." I say. He grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. "I could get used to this every morning." He says. "Me too." I say, smiling at him. He rubs the back of my hand with his thumbs and stares into my eyes. "I love you." I say. "I love you too princess." He says. We make small talk as we finish our coffee. "I gotta get ready. I have a couple radio interviews today." I say. He nods and lets go of my hand. "Wanna help me get ready?" I ask. He nods and we head up to my room. He immediately walks into my closet and starts looking for an outfit. He walks out minutes later with an outfit in hand.

He hands me the clothes and I walk into my bathroom to change. Jonah had picked me out a black off the shoulder floral shirt, jean shorts and my plain black Jerry Campbell Lolita boots. I put the outfit on and walk out of the bathrooms over to my vanity. I plug in my curling iron and start doing my makeup. Jonah walks behind me and starts to do my hair. He puts it in a high ponytail and starts to curl it. By the time I finish my makeup, Jonah is done with my hair. I unplug my curling iron and stand up. "Thank you baby." I say and kiss his cheek. He kisses my cheek and we walk downstairs together. By now everyone else is up and in the kitchen. "Morning guys." I say, walking over to the boys. "Morning Mills. How you feeling?" Daniel asks. "Better. Thank you guys for last night. It means everything to me." I say, kissing his cheek. I kiss the rest of the boys cheek and kiss the younger girls cheeks. I say good morning to everyone else and walk back over to Jonah. "I gotta go otherwise I'll be late." I tell him. He nods and pecks me on the cheek. "See you later babygirl. Love you." He says. I peck him on the lips. "Lock up before you leave. Love you too." I say. I grab my phone and purse before leaving the house. I make my way to the first radio station and get there with time to spare. "Mila-Rose! So glad to see you!"

I smile at Ryan. Today I am gonna be a guest on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "Hey Ryan. Happy to be here." I say. We get settled in and the show starts. He introduces me and everyone behind the screen claps. "So Mila can I just say how happy I am to have you on the show." Ryan says. "I'm happy to be here. I've always wanted to come and now look at me." I say. "So what have you been up to recently?" He asks. "Nothing really. I've been vlogging my life away as usual. I've been in the studio some and started working on some songs. Hanging with my boyfriend and his family." I say. "A boyfriend? Do we happen to know your boyfriend?" He asks, wiggling his eyebrows. "You might know him. It's Jonah Marais from the amazing boy band, Why Don't We." I smile. "They are gonna be at the Jingleball this year." he says. "I know! I'm so proud of them." I say. "Are you excited to see them perform?" he asks. "Uh yes! I've been friends with these boys since they first started out. I've seen how hard they work so I'm extremely proud of them. I known if they were here they would say the same about me. In fact they think I work too much." I ramble. "Really?" he asks. "Yeah. Sometimes they yell at me to take a break but I'm a daily vlogger and I'm jumping into the singing world at full force. All my hard work will be paid off one day so its completely worth it. Plus my flowers always give their all so I give my all in everything I do because its for them." I say.

"Well would you mind singing for us since you are jumping into the singing world?" He asks. I nod happily and sing a cover of Famous by ROZES. He asks me a couple more questions and we end up getting on the topic of singers. "So who's your favorite singer?" he asks. "Oh my god. Either MAX or Shawn Mendes. I'm absolutely obsessed with Shawn though." I say. "Oh really? How does Jonah feel about this?" he asks. "He finds it hilarious. He wants to be there when I meet Shawn for the first time cause he wants to see my reaction." I say. "Well I hope he's not too mad at us. We are recording you." Ryan says. "What?" I ask. Instead of an answer, the door open to reveal Shawn Mendes. My hand flies up to my mouth and I crouch behind the table. "I hate all of you so much right now. I honestly feel like I'm gonna pee myself." I say. Everyone laughs and Shawn stops in front of me. He offers me a hand and I just stare at him. I slowly grab his hand and he pulls me back up. "Hey Mila." He says. "Oh my god. Hi. I feel like I'm gonna cry." I say, leaning on the table. Ryan laughs. "Don't you start. I'm never coming back here. You are such an asshole."I say, glaring at him. Shawn laughs.

"Hi. I'm so happy to meet you. I'm obsessed with you and your music." I say, hugging Shawn. "I heard. But I'm happy to meet you too. I watch all your covers." he says. "I'm so happy I don't know what to do. And he just said he watches my covers. How is anyone supposed to function after that?" I ramble. He laughs and rubs my back.  "I need to call Jonah and the boys. They won't believe I met you." I say, pulling out my phone. I quickly FaceTime Jonah and he answers after one ring. "Hey babygirl, whats up?" he asks. "You and the boys won't believe what just happened." I say. "What happened Mills? Are you okay?" Jonah asks. "I'm not okay. Can you get the other boys?" I ask. He nods. The other boys appear in the frame and they all look worried. "What happened Mills?" Corbyn asks. "I got to meet Shawn Mendes!" I exclaim. "Sure Mills. Keep dreaming." Jack says. Then Shawn pokes his head in. "She's not lying." he says. Their eyes widen. "How'd she react?" Zach asks. "I may have fell to the floor in tears." I say, not looking at the camera. They all burst out laughing.

"Keep laughing. When you guys meet Selena Gomez and Dua Lipa I'm gonna laugh my ass off." I joke. Jack glares at me. "Be careful Shawn. She's crazy." Jack says. "She doesn't seem that bad." he says. "Haha. Someone is taking my side." I taunt. The boys all roll their eyes and Jonah speaks up. "Well have fun at the rest of your interviews. We'll see you later. Love you princess." Jonah says. "I always have fun. Love you too." I say. Shawn and I wave and he hangs up. "Already saying the dreaded four letter word?" Ryan asks. "Yeah. Something big happened and we both kinda realized that we don't wanna be without each other. I couldn't imagine my life without him." I say. "Do you love him more than Shawn?" Ryan jokes. I look at Shawn. "The way I love Jonah and the way I love Shawn are to completely different ways. I love Shawn the same way I love the other Why Don't We boys, Logan and Jake. We may have met ten minutes ago but he already seems like a brother to me. I love Jonah in a way that consumes my whole body. When something good happens I want him to be the first to know. When something bad happened I want him to be the shoulder I cry on. I wanna spend the rest of my days with him. Grow up together. Learn new things with him. He makes me whole and without him I'm just not completely me." I say.

"Well you know how to make a person feel completely alone and even more single than they already are." Shawn jokes. "Someone is in love." Ryan teases. I nod. "He's home to me." I say. We finish the interview shortly after that and I exchange numbers with Shawn. I leave the studio shortly after and do another radio interview. That one was a lot more simple and had no surprise guests. The interview was super short so I was able to head home. I get back to my place and find it completely empty. I sigh and yank off my heels. I walk up the stairs to the third floor and immediately walk into my room. I drop my heels onto the floor and flop onto my bed. I take off my make up with the make up wipes I have by my bed for times like this and curl up under my covers. I'm almost asleep when my phone rings. I groan and answer it. "Hello?" I ask. "Hey babygirl, just wanted to call and see what you were up to." Jonah's voice rings through. "Nothing. Done with the radio interviews and stopped at home." I say. "Since our families leave tomorrow we are all going out to dinner and everyone wanted you to come." He says. "Okay. I'm assuming its fancy?" I say. "Your assumptions are correct." He says. I sigh and tell him I'll be there. He tells me what time to come over and we hand up. Deciding to take a nap before getting ready I set an alarm and fall asleep.

A/N: I know its short but I have a project due soon so I'm rushing to do that. Plus I can't really think of anything and I'd like to have the dinner be a separate chapter anyways.
