Shawnie's POV

The next day, Chris and I chilled. We slept in but he was leaving today and I was a little sad. I don't know if I can do this, him leaving and being gone for weeks at a time isn't the type of thing I want to get myself into. We have our little two week thing going on, but if we're in a relationship, there's going to be more pressure to see each other, way more than that.

The last week has been so stressful, that's why I've been trying to keep Chris at a certain distance. I don't want to get him involved in anything that's going on in my life right now. My ex, Marcel, has been calling and texting me and I'm not gonna lie, we've been conversing back-and-forth. I don't have any plans on getting back with him, but we have been talking, and it's just a very confusing time for me right now, and getting into a relationship with Chris is not going to make my situation any better.

So now Chris is here, and we're officially together. I don't know how all of this is going to play out but I'm going to try to stay positive. I'm going to do my best and give this 100%. If Chris is serious, I see this going well for us, I just don't see this going well for Marcel and I. He's going to flip when he hears the news, but Chris really has been helping me through this and it's been long enough, it's time for me to try to move on and be happy, and Chris is a start. A huge start. A great start!!

I decided to take Chris to downtown Chicago, so we can spend the last couple of hours we have left together. We spent the day on Michigan Avenue shopping and just enjoy each other's company.

It was Saturday, so it was very packed downtown

It was Saturday, so it was very packed downtown. All types of people were out. Chris didn't have his security, so it was still a lot to maneuver. Chris stopped to take a lot of pictures with fans. It was a little annoying to me, but I understand, he's a huge celebrity, and people were happy to see him out. This is one thing I really needed to get used to, sharing him with his fans. Chris and I have been behind closed doors for so long, I forgot about this part of his life.

Chris had never been to the original House of Blues, in Chicago, so we went there to eat. It was a relief when we got into the building, their security kept out the fans.

While we were sitting in the restaurant, my phone kept going off. It really had been going off all day, but I was about to hide it because we were walking around, but now we're at the table and it's hard to ignore. Of course it was Marcel. He had been calling, texting and just acting crazy. After my phone kept dinging, I tried to put it on vibrate but after I put it on vibrate, it still kept going off and Chris kept looking at me crazy. I could tell it was bothering him, and he didn't say anything at first, but I guess he finally had enough.

"Who the hell is blowing up your phone like that?" He asks

"It's Marcel, he won't stop. He's been doing this for almost 2 weeks straight." I say irritated.

"Why don't you just change your number?"

"Work. All my clients have my phone number and I can't just change it." I say
