If I Could Tell Her | Shawn Mendes

The Coffee Date

YO YO I'm back! It's been so long since I updated this book and I apologize- I was just looking back on it and I really love it and don't want to give up on it, so here I am. Once again. Let's finally do this coffee date! Er...hangout.

(Sofi's outfit up there)

-

"So he's picking you up at 7, right?",  Ella questions.

"Mmhm", Sofi groans. 

"Dude, you sound so miserable! It's almost like you don't want to go on a date with Shawn Men-

"HANGOUT! God, it isn't a date for the millionth time, Els."

"Yeah yeah I'm just messing with your brain.  It's 6:45, ya going like that?"

Sofi looks down at her white T-shirt, which reads in red lettering "Sometimes the king is a woman". "Do you have a problem with my outfit, Blackwood?"

"Hell no, I was just asking. It's interesting that you decided to wear that shirt. You want Mendes to know that you're into gender equality shit?"

"I find it interesting how guys react to shirts like that. Some are chill and others are like but what about meninism, you know? But no, I'm just wearing it because it's a cute shirt."

"Love that."

All of a sudden, the doorbell decides to ring. 

"Shit. Why the frickity frack is he already here!?", Sofi suddenly panics. "Can you answer the door and tell him I got a heart attack?"

"One, who says 'frickity frack'? Two, na-da you're going sweetie. Remember that I'm like, spying for you."

"Yeah I know but you'll probably be like, distracted by the snickerdoodles or something."

"Just answer the goddamn door!"

Sofi reluctantly gets up and walks towards the door. 

"Remember it's just a hang out!", Ella calls from across the room.

"Fuck you!", Sofi yells back, opening the door to an amused Shawn Mendes.

"'Fuck you', huh? Who got you so angry?", he asks, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Why hello to you too. And oh..um, it's just my stupid best friend, Ella, she decided to barge in here and she's being, uh, super annoying."

"You're lying but go off sis!", Ella calls. 

Sofi mentally face-palms. She and her best friend were already embarrassing themselves in front of a massive celebrity, and now they're going out for coffee, an open opportunity to embarrass herself even more.

"Well this was quite fun but I think we should go", Shawn nods.

"Uh huh, yeah...totally!, Sofi stammers, keeping a nervous smile on her face.

Shawn raises an eyebrow at Sofi's strange tenseness, waves goodbye to Ella, and leads Sofi out the door.

Immediately after closing the door, Shawn stops Sofi.

"You're nervous", he observes.

"Nervous? Me? Noooo..", Sofi brushes off. 

Shawn laughs.  "It's just me. I'm really chill. There's no need to be nervous around me."

"Didn't I just tell you that I'm not nervous?"

"You said that while your arm was shaking. It still is", he chuckles.
