"My mind drowns in the possibility of you and me"

I stood in front of my wardrobe not knowing what I should wear for tonight's dinner. I never cared about how I look like and it's not like Shawn's family haven't seen me in my pajamas before. But for some reason I want to look good tonight.
I decided on wearing my maroon dress, I love how it looks on me. I went to the bathroom to take a shower, dried my hair right after and straightened it. I let it fall on my left shoulder and put my dress on. I put some makeup on too, not so much tho.
After taking one last look at my reflection in the mirror I head downstairs to see if my mum needs any help.
"mum, do you need help?" I said as I enter the kitchen.
"no dear, everything is already finished and your dad helped me set the table" she said putting the muffins she made earlier in a plate to be ready for after dinner.
"you look beautiful" she smiled.
"thank you mum, you look amazing too" I hugged her. The bell is ringing. It must be them.
"I’ll open the door" I said exciting the kitchen.
I open the door to be welcomed by Karen's cheerful smile.
"hi darling, you look gorgeous tonight" she smiled pulling me in for a hug. I have always loved Karen's hugs.
"thank you so much" I smiled hugging her back.
"hi Mr. Mendes, hi Aaliyah" I said giving each of them a hug. Shawn was standing behind Aaliyah wearing black skinny jeans and a grey hoodie, his hair is perfect as always and I can smell his perfume from where I’m standing, Gucci, amazing.
I let them all in and Shawn stood right in front on my leaning on the door frame.
"you forgot to say hi to me I guess" he smirked.
"I didn't" I said chuckling.
"are you going on a date tonight or something?" he said eyeing my outfit. Does he think it's too much? Does he not like it? What if he thought I wore this to impress him? Many thoughts are running through my mind right now and I suddenly felt so insecure.
"uhm.. No I was just.." I said before he cut me off.
"I’m just joking with you idiot" he said laughing "you look amazing" he hugs me wrapping his arms around my waist, I love how he always makes physical contact with me to reassure me of how close we are, sometimes I wonder if he feels the same way, the way he hugs me, the way he always says that I look amazing and that how am I still single till now, the way he is so overprotecting me tells that he at least feels something for me. I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and wrapped my arms around his neck hugging him back.
We are all having dinner now, Shawn is sitting between his mum and Aaliyah, Manny and my dad are sitting next to each other and me and my mum are sitting on the other side of the table.
"thanks for having us tonight Lisa" Karen said taking her first bite of pasta.
"we're happy that you're here" my mum said returning the smile. "so Shawn, tell us everything" she said turning her gaze to Shawn.
" I don’t know if Callie told you or not but my first single will be out in 2 weeks, I’m so excited about it but so scared at the same time, I don't know what people's reaction will be or if they will like it or not but all I can do at the moment is hope they will like it as much as I do" he said smiling. Seeing him talking about his dreams and being proud of his work that he puts so much effort in warms my heart. He deserves this so much, I know that he doesn't believe in himself and I wish he knew how much of an amazing singer and person he is! At least to me.
