Shawn and Lucas left. They went to eat lunch, I'm guessing... Alo. Lucas's favorite. He goes there all the time. 

It's about 3 pm and I go to buy some groceries for dinner.

I go out and I see the car is gone. Of course Lucas took the car. It was so obvious he would do that. I have no other choice then to call a cab and I to go to the grocery store.

When I got there I bought everything I need. Chicken, pasta, cream, cheese.. and so many other things. I really want to make this dinner perfectly.

I bought some stuff for dessert too. I really want to impress Shawn. Who knows when I'll see him again, or for how long he is going to stay.. I have to make everything perfect.

I got home at about 4:30 and I started cooking.

I don't know how or way it took my so long to cook, but it's 7 pm and the food is almost ready. The dessert is already ready. I made Shawn's favorite, at least I think it's his favorite. Things might have changed in the past few years.

It's already 7 and Shawn and Lucas aren't back yet..

"Hello?" I called Lucas.

"Hey Lucas, The food will be ready soon.. when are you planning to arrive? " I say.

"We'll be back in 2 minutes or so... we are on our way from Shawn's family" He says.

"Ok. Well hurry up" I say.

"Ok.. bye" he says and he hangs up.

Meanwhile I'll set the table. I don't know why I have this urge to make this night perfect. I feel so much pressure. I have no idea why.

I sat the table and I checked on my pasta and it looks really good. I'm happy.

Thank god Lucas and Shawn just arrived. They both walk in and I feel so, thrilled.

"Did you miss us?" Shawn asks me. And he sits on the counter next to where I'm standing. Checking on the pasta. Dude

I smile at him and I look over to Lucas and he gives me a look. I know what he thinks. But nothing is going on. Shawn is worldwide famous. He will never want to date someone like me. So no, Lucas. Whatever that look you gave me meant... NO.

"B?" Shawn asks

"Huh? What? Sorry" I say.

Shawn giggles a bit and he gives me a smile "you are adorable" he says. I blush. What is happening... I can't. Lucas just gave me the look, again.

"This looks amazing" Shawn says as he is looking into the pot.

"Thanks" I say still blushing.

I look over to Lucas. He is still giving me a look. This time an angry look.

"B. Can I talk to you?" Lucas calls me and he goes to his room. Oh no...

I give Shawn a little smile and I go to Lucas's room.

"What?" I ask.

"Don't you dare." He says "what are you talking about?" I ask.

"Oh don't play dumb. Stop flirting with Mendes." He says in a whisper.

"What? I'm not flirting with Mendes." I say.  To be honest, I haven't been flirting. I swear. I don't get why he is so mad. "Wait, since when do you call him Mendes?"

"I don't know.. since, forever? But that's not the point. Just stop it. Don't treat him any differently than you treated him before he got famous. And stop flirting." He says

"I'm not treating him any differently, Lucas. Why are you acting so weird?" I say

"He came here to have fun and to relax from the whole famous drama for a while. So just stop it. Act normal. You are acting like a 12 years old fangirl" he says

"Oh my god. Lucas. That's so not true. He is my friend too. Why can't I talk to him? You go out with and have fun and oh 'we're going bawling and then to a movie..' why can't I hang out with him too?" I ask

"That's different." He says

"Oh yeah? How is that different?" I ask

"Just. B please. Stop it. Ok? I'm begging you. I haven't seen Shawn in a year and I want to be with him. And just please stop whatever games you're playin." He says and he storms out of the room.

Oh my god. Lucas is such a drama queen. I'm not flirting with Shawn I'm just talking to him. So what if every time we talk I have butterflies and I feel really good... that doesn't mean anything. I can still act normal and be Shawn's friend. He is really over reacting. Shawn is not even thinking about me that way... we are friends, nothing more.

Wow that's weird. I look at my phone and Brittney is calling me. We haven't talked in a while.... I wonder what she wants..

"Hello?" I answer.
