Shannon's POV
I reached the mall entrance and reached for the door handle but some kind man ran up beside me and opened it for me.
"Here you go." He smirked.
I looked over at him and met his gaze. My eyes immediately grew wide and I felt a knot in my throat from. It couldn't be. I must be dreaming. Was that actually- no. There's just no way.
"Uh- Um, yo- your Tri- Trippie Redd?" I stuttered in disbelief.
He chuckled and lifted his dreads up from in front of his face.
"So you have heard of me?" He licked his lips.
Oh my god. Trippie Redd was standing right in front of me.
"Yeah, big fan of your music." I tried to re adjust my hair, making sure I looked
good."Damn, that's really cool. Maybe we could link up soon?" He handed me his phone.
I felt my face become burning hot and just nodded. I grabbed his phone, entering my number into it. When I was done I kindly handed it back to him.
"I gotta run to the studio but i'll text you alright?" He shot me a wink.
I gasped for breath and just smiled at him. He waited for me to walk through the open door before jogging out into the parking lot. That did not just happen.
While my brain was recovering from completely being blown I felt a tap on my shoulder. I snapped my head to the side and saw Diego standing sheepishly behind me.
"Diego, I told you. I need space." I sighed at his disregard for my requests.
"I know Shannon i'm sorry. I just couldn't handle being alone knowing you hated me. It was killing me."
"It's been less then an hour Diego!"
"I know!! That's the thing! I've fallen so hard already Shannon, I can't loose you now. Not over my stupid mistakes."
I crossed my arms, obviously not impressed with his little speech.
"Let me make it up to you, please." His eyes were growing darker.
"You can't just 'make it up' for doing what you did Diego." I felt the tear returning to my face."
"I know, but atleast let me try for the time being." He then got onto one knee.
My eyes grew wide and i immediately pulled him off the ground.
"No Diego, you are not fucking proposing to me right now."
Was this man insane? Proposing to me in the middle of the mall while we were in a fight? I swear he has no filter sometimes.
He smiled at me and laughed.
"I'm not proposing." He rolled his eyes.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little box. It looked an awful lot like a proposal ring box. He opened it up and there was a small rose gold ring that lay in it. I picked it up and looked closely at it.
I felt the heat rising to my face again and looked back up at him. He was obviously waiting for a reaction from me. I hugged him softly and slipped the ring on.
"It's gorgeous Diego." I sniffled.
He sighed with relief and grabbed my hand.
"It's a promise to you that even though we are young, I will fight for you until you are mine for good."
I watched his eyes look closely at me and I completely forgot about the fight we had gotten into. I smashed my lips against his and kissed him passionately. After a few seconds I pulled away slowly. He smiled at me.
"It looks great on you too." He examined its fit.
I laughed silently and felt my stomach turn.
"I need food." I ruined the moment saying that, but i was so hungry.
He kissed my forehead and grinned at me. "I'll make sure you never stay hungry princess." He smiled. I held his hand tightly and we both made our way to the food court. We got in line for Tropical Smoothie and we're making small talk when I heard someone yell my name from one of the tables.
I glanced behind me and almost jumped out of my skin when I saw Valarie walking fastly towards me. Shit.
