Fate ~ Shawn Mendes

Chapter 36

It was the day we flew out to paradise and the knot in my stomach got worse by the minute.
All night I had been tossing and turning, wrestling with Shawn's tight grip and fast reflexes.
But the knot wouldn't leave. All night the overwhelming feeling off anxiety flushed my mind and I found myself sometimes gripping on to Shawn's hand or arm, leaving light nail marks.
"You ready, Hun?" Shawn asked.
His voice cutting me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah." I nodded closing the bedroom door and dragging my suitcase behind me.
"Clara." Shawn stopped me in the hallway and looked down at my sympathetically. "What's wrong? You seem, I don't know, stiff."
I shook my head and took one of his hands squeezing it lightly.
"No, I'm fine Shawn. I promise it's probably just flight nerves kicking in." I smiled and convinced him, at least tried to. But that was the the problem. Was I convincing Shawn or myself?

Shawn's security guard had driven us to the airport in a black van transporter. The black out windows didn't stop the cameras flashing and blinding my eyes though.
Battling our way through paparazzi and screaming fans Shawn and I finally made it to the airport and got to the desk.
After checking in and finding out our private flight was delayed by thirty minutes Shawn and I had to go to the waiting area.
I rolled my suitcase behind me and hand my other hand intertwined with Shawn's. Both our sunglasses glasses dimming the lighting slightly as we walked down a slope to the waiting room.
Quickly moving my suitcase in front of me I straddled on it and started to roll down the slope.
Shawn quickly pulled out his phone and I knew he was filming me as I smiled and made a peace sign with my fingers as I extended my legs out.
I waited at the bottom once I came to the end of my short ride and Shawn laughed before kissing my cheek and taking my hand back in his.
"You're so cute." He whispered.
"Tell me something I don't know." I smirked as we took our seats on the uncomfortable plastic chairs.
I squirmed trying to get comfortable when Shawn's hands suddenly pulled me on to his lap and his arms cane round my waist as he started typing on his phone again.
"Don't worry the jets chairs will be much comfier." He reassured me chucking but keeping his attention firmly on his phone.
"Thank the lord." I laughed.
I brought one of my hands to Shawn's head and started scratching lightly and running my hand through his brown curls.
Shawn sighed lightly before switching off his phone and shoving it into his pocket.
"Everything Ok?" I asked.
"Just Andrew." He shook his head as his eyes closed.
"Wanna talk about it?" I asked gently.
"Nope. This holiday is about me and you." He smiled up at me as I was slightly higher from sitting on his lap.
We leant in and kissed, his hands staying round my waist and smoothly stroking my bare thigh which was exposed because of my short dungarees.
"You smell nice." He smiled.
"Thanks bubba." I said ruffling my hand in his hair.
"Bubba?" He peered over his glasses.
"One of the first words I said was 'bubba' and according to my mom." My voice went slightly quieter. "I said it when I felt loved."
"Well." Shawn began stroking my thigh again sending shivers down my spine. "You are being loved."
I smiled slowly and pecked his lips again.
"Mr Mendes." A tall slender man approached us. "Your jet is ready."
Shawn and I stood up and grabbed our luggage before being escorted out to the jet black aircraft.
"Paradise is calling." Shawn said excitedly.
"I can't wait!" I replied jumping in my steps.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Sorry for the late update on this book :(
•my story 'Who Do You Think You Are?' has been doing extremely well recently and because of that I've unconsciously neglected this book.
•However - this was and still is my first book I did on WattPadd and is the first fan fiction of Shawn I have ever published to an audience.
•I'm aiming to write a lot more chapters a lot more frequently.
•I hope you all still like this book, I have noticed a lot more reads - being nearly at 1K! 😛
•thank you for sticking with it❤️
