"I think that sounds really good." I say once Shawn and I finished rehearsing Lucky for the 4th time.
"Yeah. I think you should sing your original for your solo." Shawn says and I scoff shaking my head.
"Yeah no. I haven't even finished it. I think I'm going to do wrecking ball? Let me show you." I say, positioning my hands on the keyboard Bart provided us with.
I sing the song smoothly, and finish it off with Shawn clapping, causing me to blush. He always claps after I sing for him and every time I can't help but blush.
"That was amazing. Do that one." He says and I nod, taking the sheet music and shoving it in a folder along with the Lucky sheet music. Shawn and I's phone buzz at the same time and Shawn picks it up while I put the folder on the desk.
"Bart said to meet in the lobby in 10 for dinner." Shawn says and I nod before looking down at my appearance. I quickly walk over to my bag and pull out a loose grey t shirt and leggings. I slip it on along with my white vans and put my hair in a half up half down. I apply mascara then walk out to have Shawn give me a raised eyebrow.
"Why are you dressing up?" He asks and I furrow my eyebrows at him.
"I just changed out of my airport clothes. Also I figured if people ask for pictures I might as well look presentable." I say and Shawn just nods. I sigh and shove my airport clothes in my bag, walking over to Shawn. "Babe do you not trust me or something?" I ask and he looks up at me shaking his head.
"No! Darling of course not I just... all the guys around, I'm scared they're going to try something on you, that's all." He says and I nod, sitting down on his lap and wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Shawn you are the only guy on my mind and in my eyes. These guys will just be friends ok? I would feel jealous if it were the other way around and I was in your position." I say and Shawn nods, kissing my lips softly.
"We should head down." He says and I nod standing up. We walk down to the lobby, hand in hand, seeing all other 11 guys huddled in a group. Cameron had showed us what they all look like so I was able to tell who from who. Shawn and I walk up to them with smiles.
"Hi! I'm Brielle." I say, holding out my hand to the guys I haven't met.
"Oh I'm not a handshake guy." One of them says before pulling me into a hug. I chuckle hugging back before he does the same to Shawn. I look up at Shawn to see him not tense but calm, grinning down at me.
"I'm Jack gilinsky and this is jack johnson." The tall brunette that just hugged us says pointing to him and the blond next to him. Everyone introduces themselves and we all start talking and getting to know each other until Bart comes over.
"Hey guys! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to dinner but here's the company card. The place I was planning to take you guys to is just down the street, all the way at the end. You can't miss it. Have a nice dinner guys." Bart smiles before walking away and over to the elevator. We all turn towards each other, Cam the company card in his hand, before turning on our heels and walking out the lobby doors.
"So Bri, Shawn, when did you guys starts dating?" Nash asks and I feel Shawn's grip tighten on me again.
"Umm about 4 months ago." I say, smiling up at Shawn.
"Yep. 4 months going strong." Shawn says, clearly tense. Nash finishes talking to us then walks away and Shawn leans down to my ear.
"He definitely likes you." Shawn says, leaning back upright and clenching his jaw. I give him a small smile and shake my head.
"Well I will never like him back." I respond and Shawn smiles. We arrive at the restaurant and I sit down in the middle of the table next to Shawn. Nash comes and sits next to me, giving a small smile. Shawn's hand slips onto my thigh and he leans over to my ear.
"What the hell does he think he's doing?" Shawn asks and I turn to whisper in his ear.
"Sitting to eat dinner." I respond with a smirk before giggling. Shawn sighs and begins flipping through the menu. I could tell he was mad so I put my hand on his leg trying to get his attention but he doesn't look at me. I scoff then open up my menu.
"Are you ok?" Nash asks and I turn to him with a smile.
"Yea. Everything's fine." I smile then turn back to the menu, seeing Shawn's eyes on Nash and I.
"So Bri, how are you feeling fresh out of the hospital?" Taylor asks and I tense up a bit but give him and everyone at the table a smile.
"Um.. good actually."
"What exactly happened?" Hayes says and Nash slaps him lightly.
"I'd rather not say." I respond looking back down at the menu. Shawn just continues looking at his menu, doesn't look over at me or talk to me. After a few minutes I lean over to his ear.
"Babe what did I do?" I ask and he just lets out a breath.
"Nothing. We'll talk about it back at the room."
"Ok but can you at least talk to me now. It's a little awkward not even looking at each other don't you think?" I say and he groans and stands up.
"I'm going to the restroom. I'll be right back." He says to the table before walking off. I roll my eyes and sit back in my seat. The table continues talking and getting to know each other and after about 10 minutes I notice Shawn hasn't come back yet. I excuse myself from the table and stand up to go look for him. I check the one bathroom then walk outside to see him on a call.
"Yeah. She's good. I mean the guys seem to like her." He says with a chuckle. He kicks his foot against the pavements while leaning against the side of the restaurant, looking out into the street. "I'm watching her don't worry, but she's got it, she's strong. Yeah I'll send you a video of our performance. Ok. Bye." Shawn says, taking the phone away from his ear and ending the call he turns to walk back inside then sees me standing there and stops walking.
"Who was that?" I ask and he sighs.
"Kyle. He's just checking up on you." Shawn says and I nod and look down.
"Look Shawn I know you're jealous but don't be! I don't care if Nash is flirting with me or what not because I have you, and you're better than 100 Nash's. I just don't want you to hate me because of what he's doing." I sigh and he walks over to me, wrapping me in a hug.
"Darling you know I'll never hate you. I know it's not your fault. It just gets on my nerves. I hate the thought of sharing you." He chuckles and I return it.
"Alright let's head back inside." I say, grabbing his hand and walking back in the restaurant.
