"Yes, I'm leaving to the airport now." I said rolling my eyes as I rushed to get my things into the Uber. "No, just give me the hotel address and I'll find my way there ok?" I smiled. "Ok whatever, bye." I said giggling as I hung up the phone.

I got into the Uber sighing as I rested my head on the back of the seat closing my eyes. My best friend and I made plans to go to Jamaica for a week. We were both single and Valentine's Day was coming up and we decided to spend it on vacation together.

I got to the airport doing the usual check in and airport security and all that bullshit that took a while. Finally making it to the seating area, I grabbed a seat placing my bag beside me as I took my earphones out shoving them in my ear.

Gravity by Sara Bareilles came on shuffle as I smiled leaving it on. This is such a cute song.

I decided to just look through my Instagram feed to kill the time and watch snapchat stories until my flight was called. There was nothing really interesting going on in the social media world so I just locked my phone as I sat there and waited listening to some tunes.

I heard my flight being called through my earphones as I looked up reading the board. Grabbing my things, I headed to the line that was forming as I waited till it was my turn.

I handed her my ticket as I gave her a soft smile before heading to the plane that was waiting for us. I walked on finding my seat as I tried opening the cabinet above my head having some trouble considering I was only 5'2.

"Here let me help you with that." I heard as a tall man with muscular arms opened the cabinet putting my bag inside for me.

"Thank you." I said turning around to face him to be met with the Shawn Mendes. "Oh, hi." I smiled.

"Hey." He smiled back. I didn't want to seem creepy so I just sat in my seat looking up at him. I was sitting on the outer seat so his junk and stomach was in my face as he lifted his arms to put his bag inside beside mine revealing his lower stomach.

I quickly looked down at my fingers as I cleared my throat a bit. I had my earphones out of my ear as I shoved them in my pocket.

"Sorry." I heard him say as I looked up confused.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm sitting right there." He laughed as he pointed to the seat beside me. I looked over at it as I just looked back up at him. Shawn Mendes is sitting right beside me on the fucking plane.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I chuckled standing up as I tried my best to let him squeeze by me. Our bodies brushed against each other's making my face heat up. I don't know why I was so nervous and embarrassed but I am and I need to stop.

I was going to be sitting beside Shawn Mendes on a flight for almost 5 hours. Can my life get any more great?

The first couple minutes were awkward. We sat there in complete silence as I just watched the passengers put their bags away and scurry to their seats.

"So what brings you on this plane?" I heard him say as I turned my attention to him.

"Vacation." I nodded as he did the same. "And you?" I asked.

"Same." He shrugged. "I've always wanted to go to Jamaica."

"Oh, cool." I smiled looking down at my fingers.

"Are you going alone?" He asked looking around to see if anyone was with me.

"No, I'm actually meeting up with someone. They're already there." I laughed.

"Boyfriend?" He asked making me choke.

"No." I smiled. "My best friend actually. I'm single." I said but it's not like he cares.
