Exposed//Shawn Mendes

6

By the next day, Daniel and I were out at dinner. We were in the restaurant we came to on our first date. Daniel had dressed up in regular blue jeans with a gray belt, a light gray t-shirt, and his brown leather jacket. His light brown hair was brushed up at to the back creating a beautiful quiff making him look absolutely handsome. His scruffy beard was nicely kept and trimmed not showing any loose strands around his face or neck.

As we sat there our food in front of us  I didn't really eat, just instead pushed my salad around on my plate while Daniel completely devoured his medium rare steak. I sighed deeply as I stabbed a cherry tomato with my fork and moved it to the side of my plate.

"Babygirl are you alright? They didn't mess up your order did they?" Daniel asks as he wipes his mouth with his napkin.
"No, no I'm fine. I just... I have something super important to tell you, babe." I said shaking my head, not really looking at him but still looking at my salad.
"Well, what is it?" He asks. I just sigh and drop my fork before giving him my full attention. I stared into his dark brown eyes and felt my heart breaking at the thought of having to leave him for so long.

"So... I was offered this job as an assistant..." I started.
"That sound like good news to me, love. Why do you seem so upset by it?" He asks.
"Well, it's as Shawn's assistant..."
"Shawn? Who's Shawn?" He looks at me confused. I raised my brows out of surprise. I've told him about Shawn almost a million times, Daniels own little sister, who's closer to my age so honestly I shouldn't even consider her little, loves him and on top of that he lives in the same town as him, how can he not know Shawn Mendes?!"

"Babe really?" I asked just raising one brow at him.
"Like Shawn Mendes? That kid you used to date in school?" He asks looking a little less confused but still not sure.
"Y-Yeah," I answered.
"Wait, the same Shawn, like the now super famous pop star Shawn Mendes?!" He asks again slightly raising his voice in shock.
"Yes," I answer sheepishly.
"Everyone and their mothers love that dude how did you...?" He didn't finish his sentence but was confused and shocked at the same time.

"Well as you know we used to be friends, and the other day his mom made him come over with her to see my family, but as soon as I meet him again he's so rude and repulsive and just this huge jackass-"
"Baby, not what I asked. So again, how did this happen?"
"Well my mom and his mom were talking and basically forced me to be his assistant, so now I'm going to be traveling the world with him for over a year-"
"Traveling the world with him for how long?! Babe!"
"I know! I know, Dan but I tried to get out of it!"
"Why can't you just say no or something?!"
"I did say no but literally everyone cornered me!"
"But baby, that's so long! And what if he forces you to sleep with him for a raise or something? I've seen movies like that, that's how it always goes down!" He exclaimed as he crossed his arms looking flustered and distressed.
"He won't babe, he hates me now for no fucking reason! I was being nice to him when he came back but then he fucking comes at me out of nowhere looking for a fight!"
"Or maybe that's what he wants you to think. Us guys are confusing with our emotions! What if he's pretending to hate you now but once you're gone asks to fuck like some... some whore!" He struggled to even say the word.

"Don't you trust me?" I asked looking at him, kinda hurt that he'd assume I'd even consider sleeping with Shawn.
"Of course I trust you but it's Mendes that I don't trust, he's a prick." He huffed still looking upset with his arms still crossed.
"Well don't pay him any mind, as long as you know you can trust me we'll be ok. And hey I can come to visit, it's only one year and maybe a little while after that." I said reaching over the table and grabbed his hands.
