Fate ~ Shawn Mendes

Chapter 25

"Baby? Wake up."
A light shake on my leg awoke me up from my slumber and I was met by Shawn and the strong smell of my favourite meal.
I shot straight up from fetus position I had cried myself to sleep in, my nose taking in every bit of smell it could.
"You brought take out." I stated as my pupils widened.
"In the-"
Before Shawn could finish I was already up off the bed and darting through the doorways to get to the food I so hungrily devoured.
"Kitchen." Shawn finished his sentence as he entered the kitchen as I started unpacking the Chinese. "Hungry much?" He chuckled coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Starving." I giggled as his hands tickled my ribs.
Shawn and I sorted out the food and we sat down talking about what his meeting with his manager was about.
"So what does that mean?" I asked wiping my fingers on some kitchen roll and leaning back in my chair content with my now full stomach.
"It means." Shawn sighed. "I'm going to be away for a while."
Shawn was going on tour and I knew how long his last one was, only coming home once for a week and I wouldn't be able to have him that long because his actual family would want to see him which I didn't mind but I wanted every second of every day with Shawn. Just him and I.
"How longs a while?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"A while." He whispered back as if he said it too loudly it would rip right through me.
"How long until you go?" I asked hesitantly.
"Tickets go on sale tomorrow and the first concert is a month away." He replied.
"So soon?"
He nodded slowly.
"But I'm going to phone you whenever I'm free and text you until my thumbs become numb and I have to use voice message to talk to you. Ok?" Shawn reassured me reaching across the table to stroke my hand.
I smiled a weak smile before I started to clean up the kitchen whilst Shawn showered. I had just finished when his phone started ringing on the counter, I didn't want to answer his phone for him because I don't know how he would feel about that so I let it ring.
"Who was that babe?" Shawn came back out with a towel wrapped around his waist showing off his torso and v line a little making my bite my lip. "Babe? Stop checking me out and answer me." Shawn laughed.
"Sorry." I blushed with a giggle. "I don't know I didn't answer, I didn't think you'd want me to."
"I don't mind, what's mine is yours." He said kissing my cheek before grabbing his phone and running his hand through his wet hair. 
"Oh shit." He mumbled.
"What is it?" I asked concerned.
"It's Armani." He said turning round to face me.
"What about it?" I asked walking round the island to stand in front of him.
"They left a voicemail, we're having a photoshoot tomorrow and the model just had to cancel due to medical reasons."
"Theres no one else available?" I asked.
"Not at such short notice." Shawn said as he desperately tried to think of something. "We cant reschedule because of tour."
"Oh come on, there's got to be a girl out there who wants to pose with the Shawn Mendes for a company as big as Armani Where posts will be retweeted and shared around the world." I told him.
Shawn shook his head lightly and then his eyes lit up, followed by his head shooting up and looking at me.
"Your right." He smiled, a bit too much for my liking. "You could do it." He cake closer to me.
"No." I said and started walking away.
"Oh come on Clara!" Shawn said grabbing my arm and pulling me round to face him.
"Shawn no!"
"Why not?" He demanded.
"Because! I'm not a model for starters!"
"Neither am I!" He laughed holding up his hands.
"But your a hot young singer. Your basically made an automatic model."
"Your a hot young woman. Your an automatic model." Shawn smugged at me.
"Why." I moaned collapsing on the couch. "Think of all the other girls who would do it."
"But they wouldn't be you. This way it's with someone that I have chemistry with and my fans can see the true me on the camera."
Shawn sat beside me and rested his hand on my knee looking at me with puppy eyes.
"You owe me." I stated.
Shawn launched himself at me so I was now beneath him on the couch as he left kisses all over my face and neck.
"Big time." I declared.
"Of course! Of course!" He smiled and planted a kiss on my nose. "I'll call Armani and let them know."
He leaped off the sofa and smiled a big Cheshire Cat grin at me as he waited for the model people to pick up.
What had I gotten myself into...
