NO ANGEL ★彡 S. MENDES

𝐒𝐈𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍.

eleanor anne kavinsky.

rubbing her arm which was sore from the lie detector, eleanor walked out of the small room accompanied by the detectives and she instantly received looks from the many people around her, scared that they would be exposed and arrested instead news of the young star being accompanied by two police officers. as soon as marina saw her, she poured out a neat whiskey and slid it over the bar when eleanor sat down opposite her.

"did they get anything from you?" marina asked, concern in her eyes.

"no, you're safe. don't worry. they put me in a lie detector as well?! damn, it was hard trying not to get noticed by them but it was okay. i just really need a drink," eleanor said, sipping her whiskey.

"also keep it down, i'm not supposed to be serving under twenty-one's and if anyone asks? it's apple juice," marina smirked, "anyway, how's your boy toy doing?"

eleanor started, "just before you say 'i told you so' i-"

"wait, wait, wait... i was actually right about something? this is a surprise, go on," marina said leaning forward and resting her chin on her hand.

"shawn, well. he's uh, how do i put this?" eleanor struggled to find her words.

"handsome? charming? dreamy? sis, there's a whole dictionary full of this shit, want me to get it? or a bible just in case you're thinking of something rather unholy-"

eleanor only rolled her eyes and took a sip out of her glass. "well, what do you want me to say?"

"did y'all fuck?" marina giggled, "please tell me you did because you two are dry as fuck and if this was the old eleanor, you two would be engaged by now with a daddy kink and a mistress on the side-"

"marina!" eleanor whined, "we don't talk about the old eleanor! anyway, she died a long time ago..."

"damn sis, i forgot how many issues we had."

"have, marina, have. you're a twenty-two-year-old woman being investigated for murder-"

"eleanor, shut up before i call my hitman with a new assignment," marina said with a cold smile, and eleanor felt the hairs on her back stand up knowing if she muttered another word she would truly be dead.

after all, why keep your friends close when you can keep your enemies closer?

shawn peter raul mendes.

"you want to start working on album three? right now?" andrew laughed at shawn through the phone, finding the boy's eagerness to work hilarious, "but you said you wanted to spend time with your family after not seeing them for what? six months?"

"i don't know," shawn said, sitting down on his sofa while pressing his phone to his ear, "eleanor and i-"

"eleanor and i?" andrew quickly cut him off, "damn, what did you do now kid?"

shawn rolled his eyes and spoke, "we wrote a song, and i recorded it on my phone. it's not a duet but she's an amazing songwriter. being with her, it started something up in me and i have so much inspiration right now! call teddy! call scott! i need to start working on this album now!"

"okay, calm down kid. i'll call them and book the studio. and i'll ring up camila-"

"no andrew," shawn sighed, placing a hand on his forehead, "no camila. i don't want her here. she isn't apart of my life anymore. talking with eleanor made me realise that i need to be more honest. way more honest than i was on illuminate where it was all so vague and up in the air. i need this."

andrew hummed in response. "don't worry. i'm on it. i can tell how much this means to you. i'll call you back."

andrew hung up on him and shawn laid back onto the soft cushions of the sofa and heard his doorbell ring. right after, his phone pinged indicating a text message and he leaned over to the table to see who it was from.

aaliyah: it's me dumbass. open up.

aaliyah: i miss my big brother :(

shawn smiled and stood up and walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a happy aaliyah mendes who dropped her bag and gave shawn a huge hug that was so tight he struggled to breathe.

"ease it kiddo, i got here less than an hour ago from new york and three days full of meetings and i would like to breathe please," shawn laughed, hugging her back.

"i just missed you," aaliyah said after letting go and letting shawn finally breathe.

"missed you too liyah. come on, come in," shawn said, ushering her in.

"did you just come back from school?" shawn asked as she put her bag on the side and nodded in response, "how was it?"

"good, anyway i need to know. how the hell did you get eleanor kavinsky to be your girlfriend? because i mean this in the nicest way when i say that she is way out of your league," aaliyah asked.

"excuse me?" shawn almost choked.

"how did you get eleanor kavinsky, my queen, to be your girlfriend? she's way too good for you," aaliyah repeated.

"uh, i-," shawn paused and said again, "because she is."

"not true," aaliyah saw right through his lie, "i've known you for fifteen years, i know when you're lying."

"hey! you're in my house! you can't insult me like that!" shawn tried changing the subject but aaliyah was having none of that.

"shawn, please. when i said her name your cheeks went red and you looked away from me, sis, you're lying," aaliyah ignored his desperate attempts to change the subject, "i'm also your little sister who never sees you and had to find out you had a girlfriend through twitter so i think i'm entitled to that."

shawn sighed, knowing that she had won, "i'm sorry. but i can't really tell you anything."

"so you're not dating her? or you are? i'm confused," she said, furrowing her eyebrows.

"well, technically we're dating-"

"technically?"

"we're fake dating," shawn spat out and aaliyah was left in silence.

"i'm sorry for snapping liyah, it's just that all of this fake stuff is stressful and i don't like talking about it," shawn apologised.

"it's okay," aaliyah shrugged, "i get it. anyway, i came here to spend time with my brother! anyway, i've got a thing tonight with this girl so i can't stay long."

"what thing and what girl? i want details!"

a/n - bisexual characters are so easy to write omg also because of the new rolling stone interview (which did him fucking dirty may i add) i might have to erase one of my storylines which would link into about ten new ones and i'm stuck. i might just write it anyway idk
