A/n: Okay so this is based off of an interaction that Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, JFK Jr.'s wife had with the paparazzi. They got really close to her so she said "Please don't get so close to me." Also, explicit language in this one! Anyways, please enjoy this imagine. Okay, let's begin!
I've been dating the singer and songwriter, Shawn Mendes, for seven months now. Last month he gave me a beautiful promise ring that looks like it has leaves on it and I love it. I'm staying at Shawn's condo for part of the summer and it's been really nice and fun. I was cuddled up to Shawn on the couch when he began to talk.
"Hey baby girl?" Shawn asked.
"Yes honey?" I asked as I put my chin on his chest so I could look up at him. He smiled at me.
"What do you think about going out for a date tonight?" Shawn asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Okay. Would I need to get dressed up?" I asked. He thought for a moment before shrugging.
"Maybe just a little bit. Like a nice outfit, you don't have to wear a dress." He said. I nodded and got up so I could go to my suitcase and pick out an outfit. I chose a black laced up cami and white jeans with white heels. That night, that's what I changed into, and I did a bit of makeup. I stepped out to where Shawn was. He was wearing a nice white button up and black dress pants with boots. I smiled.
"You look so handsome." I said as I walked over to him. He saw me and his eyes widened.
"Holy fuck babe, you look gorgeous." He said. I blushed.
"Thank you honey." I said.
"You're welcome. Come on, I know a good Italian place nearby." Shawn said. He interlaced his fingers with mine and I felt electricity spark through me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time.
"Wait!" I said. Shawn turned around and looked at me.
"What's up love?" He asked.
"Can I have a kiss before we leave please?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.
"My love, you never have to ask. Come here." He said, and put his lips on mine. I felt my heart race as if it were going to beat out of my chest, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks. Shawn and I pulled away and smiled at each other. We then went to the restaurant.
"I love this. I love spending time with you and being able to be together in public and not have to hide our relationship." I said. Shawn smiled.
"I love it too. I also love you." Shawn said. My smile widened.
"I love you too my handsome man." I said. Shawn's smile widened. We soon finished eating and decided to head back to his place. As Shawn was paying, he refused to let me pay, even for the tip, he kept looking at me.
"You look so gorgeous honey. Did you know that?" He asked. I blushed.
"Well thank you. You keep telling me that I look gorgeous." I said.
"Yes because it's true. Shit. The paparazzi are outside. When we get out there, hold onto my hand and don't let go until we've gotten to the car, okay darling?" He asked. I nodded. We stood up to leave and were immediately greeted by a bunch of photographers. I had one hand in Shawn's hand, and my other hand was wrapped around his arm.
"Y/N! SHAWN! IS THAT AN ENGAGEMENT RING?" One paparazzo yelled.
"Y/N! SHAWN! WHEN'S THE WEDDING?" Another one yelled. Rather than feeding into them by responding, Shawn and I ignored them as we walked to the car. One of them got extremely close to me, to the point where I felt very uncomfortable. His camera was practically right in my face.
"Please don't get so close to me." I asked the man. Shawn turned his head to see who I was talking to, and I squeezed his hand when the man didn't budge. Shawn stopped walking and turned to the guy.
"Hey, she asked you not to get so close to her. You're literally right in her face, so please just take a few steps back." Shawn said. His voice was laced with assertiveness, and the guy backed up a few steps, and then Shawn and I walked to his jeep. We got in and the paparazzi was literally right in front of the car, taking pictures. I put my purse in front of my face because the light bulbs were practically blinding. Shawn was finally able to drive away and drive back to his condo. We immediately went into his bedroom and got changed. After I got changed into a t-shirt and shorts, Shawn gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him.
"Baby, I have to take my makeup off." I said. Shawn kissed the top of my head.
"I'm sorry about the paparazzi. I didn't realize that they were going to show up." Shawn said. I looked up at him and put one of my hands on his cheek so I could rub it with my thumb. He closed his eyes and leaned into my touch.
"It's okay. Thank you for saying something to that guy." I said. Shawn opened his eyes and nodded.
"I don't like it when you're uncomfortable." He said. I nodded.
"I know baby. But as long as I'm with you, I know that I'm safe." I said. Shawn smiled a little and nodded. I then took off my makeup.
"I'll wait for you on the couch." Shawn said to me and I nodded. When I sat down next to him, I checked Instagram. There were pictures of Shawn and I leaving the restaurant and being in the car. Some of his fans were saying that I was holding my purse over my face because I didn't want to be seen with Shawn. That is so far beyond the truth.
"Shawn, look at this." I said. I showed it to him and he frowned.
"But that's not why you were holding your purse up. You were holding it up because of the flashes." He said. I nodded.
"Exactly. But some of your fans don't think that." I said. Shawn sighed.
"I'll do a livestream." He said. I shook my head.
"No. I'll just make a post." I said. He gave me a funny look.
"Are you sure babe? I can handle this if you want me to." He asked and said. I shook my head.
"Shawn, I'm a big girl, I can handle this." I said. Shawn sighed but nodded.
"Okay. I'll support you no matter what you do." Shawn said and I nodded. I then posted a picture that I had taken during our date of Shawn smiling at the camera, and if you swiped, the next photo was me with my purse in front of my face.
"Had an amazing date night with my amazing man. For those of you who are saying that I had my purse in front of my face because I didn't want to be seen with Shawn, that is so far past the truth. I had my purse in front of my face because the flashes from the paparazzi's cameras were practically blinding. I love the fact that my relationship with Shawn is public now and that we don't have to hide anything. I'm going to go cuddle with my handsome man now. Thank you for the amazing date night Shawny! I love you!" I wrote. Shawn liked the photo and commented on it.
"Perfect caption babe. I'm so proud of you for sticking up for yourself. I love you darling, now come put your head on my chest." He wrote. I giggled when I saw the comment and put my head on his chest. We stayed like that in a comfortable silence for a bit as he traced random shapes on my back.
"I'm tired." I said. Shawn kissed the top of my head.
"Let's go to bed then baby." He said. I nodded and Shawn helped me to bed. I'm so grateful for Shawn and our date nights.
