In the middle of nowhere

Chapter 36 ✔️

P.o.v. Shawn

"Soph? Do you want to grab some lunch?" I yelled. She opened the door of the shower and asked "Don't you have to rehearse this afternoon?". I shrugged my shoulders. "Just give me one second" she responded laughing.

I was laying down on the bed, checking my social media. It's our second day of the tour and we're in France. Tonight is my first concert and I'm so excited.

"Ready?" Sophia asked. "I was born ready" I answered. I stood up. Sophia grabbed her coat and purse and afterwards we left.

"J'aime la France. (I love France)" Sophia said. I raised my eyebrows and looked at her. "Do you speak French?" She nodded. "Oui, je parle le francais. J'ai étudié là" she responded. I just stared at her. "I speak French. I studied there" she explained. "Ah.. makes sense" I answered.

"Oh this looks nice" Sophia said. I agreed. It was cosy, calm and there weren't a lot of people.

"So are you excited?" Sophia asked. I smiled at her and nodded. "I can't wait." I explained. She smiled at me.

"Do you like it here already?" I asked. She looked around and smiled. "I love it. The only thing I miss is Jodie but she's in good hands" she responded.

We decided to leave Jodie with my mom and Aaliyah. I don't think it would be so nice for her to just sit in the hotel every day while we are outside or having a show.

"How late do you have to rehearse?" Sophia asked. I checked my watch. "In an hour" I replied. She smiled at me. Wow, her smile is incredible and it keeps amazing me.

🌸

"Uh... hello? I... I'm A... Alexis. Can I uh maybe get a photo?" a young girl asked us. I smiled immediately. "Of course" I answered.

She walked towards me and gave me the phone. She turned around and walked towards Sophia. I smiled. She didn't want a picture with me but with Sophia. I took one and gave her the phone.

"Thank you so much. You are really beautiful" she said to Soph. "So are you" she replied. They gave each other a hug and the girl left.

"Mom, mom. I got a picture with Sophia. She's so beautiful." Alexis yelled. Sophia and I were both laughing. "You're becoming more famous than me" I said teasing. She stuck out her tongue and we laughed.

"I have to go" I said after a while. "I'll pay" Sophia offered. I shook my head. "It's my turn" I answered simply. Sophia sighed deeply. She knew she wasn't going to win this.

We grabbed our stuff, I paid and we left. "I'm nervous" Sophia whispered. "Why?" I asked laughing. "For your performance" she continued. I started to laugh. "There's no need to be." I responded.

🌸

We arrived. "Oh my god it is so big" Sophia whispered. I grinned. "Wait until you get inside" I answered. She looked at me and raised her eyebrow.

I opened the door. Andrew was already waiting for me. Sophia looked around. "Wow" she mumbled.

"This is only the entrance, Soph" I said laughing. "Oh yeah, I knew that. Duh" she replied. I opened the door and Sophia followed me. I walked towards the stage.

"Hi guys" I greeted the band. "Oh hi Shawn. And Sophia?" they asked. Sophia was still looking around. "Oh hi guys" she said with a big smile.

"This place is huge" she yelled. She looked at me and I just laughed. "First time in a empty music hall?" Andrew asked. I looked at Soph and she started to blush. Ohw, so cute. "Yes" she answered softly.

"Okay Megan?" Andrew yelled. A girl walked towards him. "Can you give Sophia a tour?" Andrew continued. Megan nodded and walked towards me.

"Hi, I'm Megan." she said with a big smile. "I'm Sophia, but you can call me Soph" I answered. She smiled, took my hand and we walked away. "See you later" she yelled at me. I couldn't help it but laugh.

"Let's rehearse" I suggested. I got on stage and we started to play our first song.

P.o.v. Sophia

"So you've seen the stage already but there is also a backstage. This is the meet-and-greet room. And this is make up and the dressing room." she explained.

I've never been backstage before. I never had any money to buy those tickets. I've always wanted to see it but just didn't had the chance before.

"Oh and this is Shawn's room. He can still here. There are drinks, food, some of his guitars, a piano, ... Everything he needs basically." she got me out of my thoughts.

It was much bigger than I had expected. "Oh and here is a room for the opening act" she explained. "Oh who is it this year?" I asked curious. "Alessia Cara" she answered. "Oh my god" I whispered. Megan started to laugh.

"Oh and this is the last room. It's a small restaurant so everyone can eat. And people just hang out here and talk with each other when they have to wait." she continued.

We walked back towards the room of Shawn. I walked inside but Megan waited outside. She felt uncomfortable.

"You want to come in?" I asked. "Uh I don't know if I can do that actually" she answered.  "Of course you can. I asked you right?" I said. She nodded, smiled and came in.

I walked towards the fridge and got us something to drink. "Is coke good?" I asked. She nodded. "Here you go" I said.

"So how is it to tour with Shawn" she asked shy. I laughed. "It's pretty awesome. I can see the world and he's just so sweet." I answered.

She smiled. "Your a beautiful couple" she said. I smiled. "Thank you! Do you have a boyfriend?" I asked. She started blushing. "Oh my god. Do you have a picture?" I asked. She laughed and nodded.

She took her phone and showed me a picture of him. "Damn girl, that's not bad. Is he a good kisser?" I asked seriously. She laughed. "The best." she answered. I shook my head. "Impossible. The best kisser is Shawn." I replied. We both ended up laughing.

Shawn walked inside. "Is everything okay?" he asked. "Couldn't have been any better" I replied still laughing.
