Kat and Brian walked into the restaurant with Paige and Shawn at their heels.
"I ate ice cream and slept." Paige responded to Shawn's question about what she did today.
Shawn chuckled, "Very productive."
Paige narrowed her eyes playfully. Shawn lifted his eyebrows and gave her a closed lip smile.
They walked into the restaurant and were seated at a booth. Paige slid into one side and Shawn came and slid right next to her. Paige smiled at him, glad that he was right next to her.
"Let's play 21 questions!" Shawn excitedly said.
"What are you...12?" Paige said sarcastically with a smile.
"Are you scared to answer the questions?" Shawn teased, lifting an eyebrow.
"No!" Paige grumbled glaring at him.
"Good! First question birthday?"
"You already know that." Paige said adding, "Unless you forgot."
Shawn scrunched his forehead together. There was a moment of silence. "September 21st!" 44 or 45 days after mine!" Shawn grinned.
Paige grinned back,"Wow you were listening."
"Of course I was!" His hand went to his hair and he brushed it back smiling shyly at Paige.
"DATE ALREADY" Brian yelled with Kat laughing and nodding her head in agreement. Paige suddenly felt hot and widened her eyes in embarrassment. Shawn started to fidget with one of his brackets. Paige wanting to end the awkward silence slyly said, "we literally just met! He could be a serial killer for all I know!" With that Shawn quickly turned his head to her. "For the five hundredth time I'm not a frikin serial killer!!"
"Shawn Mendes that's exactly what a serial killer would say."
"Paige Bradford you are killing me."
Paige sent him a mischievous smile, "Thats what I'm here for."
....................
"So what time does this thing start?" Paige asked shoving a couple of fries in her mouth.
"This thing? You mean the party?"
"Yes, you dummy!" Paige playfully said, smacking him lightly on his shoulder. He smiled.
"It starts at like 8 but we don't want to be 'those people' so we'll get there later." Kat answered. She and Brian went back to talking. Even though there were so many people in this restaurant, Paige and Shawn felt like they were the only ones. Paige didn't like the unknown feeling so she pushed it away and went back to glaring at Shawn.
Shawn laughed and sarcastically said,"You look so intimidating when you're mad."
"I'm not mad! Hmph."
Shawn raised his eyebrows.
"My turn to ask a question." Paige stated breaking the unnecessary silence.
"Go head." Shawn motioned with his hand.
"Hmmm...." Paige thought for a moment and decided to be "that person." "Have you ever dated anyone?"
"Oh wow you wanna know." Shawn said with a teasing tone. Paige raised her eyebrows, "Just answer the question, Mendes." She said rolling her eyes. Shawn put his hand behind his neck looking hesitant. "No not really." He shrugged, "And you?"
"Kinda but not really." She replied shrugging.
"Kinda but not really?" Shawn questioned.
"Like we both liked each other but nothing ever really happened."
Shawn's heart was pounding. Paige's was pounding. They looked at each other, their eyebrows scrunched.
"You confuse me." Shawn said honestly. Paige tilted her head and laughed a little. "How we like just met."
"I don't know..." Shawn said not truly knowing what he was saying and why he told her that. Paige confused, just looked at him with wonder.
"Okay you guys we're leaving!" Kat said holding Brian's hand, while placing the tip on the table.
"Guess we're going Shawn. So no more confusing conversations." She laughed still wondering why he had said that but at the same time not really caring.
They scooted out from the both and walked to Brian's car. Paige started to mentally prepare for the party, still not truly wanting to go even though she had Shawn right next to her.
