Rose [S.M]

Nerves

"Hi, I am Rose." I say a little bit uncomfortable. I am not the best one to meet new people unexpectedly. You know the whole awkward person thing...

"O believe me, I know all about you." Brian says as he turns back around again and walks further down the apartment again. know all about me? What is that suppose to mean?

"Shawn. Honey, there is company for you."

I close the door behind me as I hear multiple voices coming from the living room. One voice clearly belongs to Shawn but the other one, I do not recognize. I thought that he said that it would be just us?

Don't be such a pussy, Rose. Nothing wrong with meeting new people. Suck it up.

It's only now I notice, as I walk down the hallway into the direction the voices are coming from, how beautiful this apartment is.

I gasp loudly as I walk into the living room and see the big windows with the beautiful view over the Brooklyn bridge.
"You should sign up for MTV cribs. This view is insane, dude."

The three of them laugh loudly by my sudden outburst of joy.
"Now I understand what you mean." The other voice who is sitting on the couch next to Shawn says. What the hell are these people talking about?

O yeah... shit. People. You have to interact with them, Rose.

"Hi."- Shawn jumps up from the couch and walks straight towards me. He wrap his arms around my shoulder and gives me a side hug.
"I am glad that you are here." He whispers softly, that only I can hear him.

When he leans back again, I can have a proper look at his face. "Are you okay? You look tired." The bags underneath his eyes are impossible to miss.

"Didn't slept that well last night."

"Yea, that I can see."Shawn pulls away from me and turn back around to the now smirking guys who are sitting on the couch.

"I wonder if Andrew will get the same greeting when he walks in."

"No, only beautiful interns get that treatment." The other guys says.

"Guys.."- Shawn says as his cheek turn red "can you please stop embarrassing me."

"Never Mendes." Brian says as he keeps his eyes focused on me.

"O sorry. Those two idiots are my best friends from back home. That is Brain but you already met him and Matt."

"You look like a Victoria Secret model." Matt says, what makes Shawn groan out loud. "Can you stop?." Shawn says awkwardly. Luckily I am not the only one who finds this whole situation extremely uncomfortable.

"we are just pointing out some facts." I am not going to lie, I feel watched by his friends and that makes me a little self-conscious.
"I mean, how is it possible that you are wearing just sweats and that hideous knitted cardigan, almost have no makeup on and still look better than the most girls I know." Brian says with his eyebrow raised. Did he just made fun of Ali her cardigan? If Ali was here she would have kicked him in the face.

He is staring at me like he wants me to answer that impossible question. I shrugs my shoulders "I don't know. Genes, I guess." I answer dead ass seriously but everyone interrupts in a loud laughter.

"And she even has humour..."- Brian says and falls dramatically on the couch. I notice that I unconsciously take a step closer to Shawn, using him as my human shield.

Shawn notice and pulls me closer to him again.
"Guys, stop it. You make her uncomfortable. You sound like some horny teenagers."

"Well, we basically are horny teenagers."
