Shawn Mendes Imagines Part 3 {COMPLETED}

158. You Write A Book

I've been married to the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes for a little over twenty years now. We have three beautiful kids together: Rose Lucille Mendes, who's nineteen, Jacob Alexander Scott Mendes, who's seventeen, and Sarah Grace Mendes, who's fifteen. For many, many years, actually since quite a few years before I met Shawn, I would journal all the time. There was a period of time where I stopped journaling for some reason, but after I met Shawn, I went home and wrote about it in my journal and then continued to journal after that.

When Shawn and I were engaged, I was on tour with him for a little bit during the summer. I would go into his question and answer sessions with him, and a fan once asked if either of us would ever write a book.

"Would either, or both of you, ever write a book about your lives?" A fan asked.

"Well she's an amazing writer. I've read some of Y/n's essays for school, and even her Instagram captions are beautifully worded. I hope that she doesn't mind me saying this, but she's written poetry before and it's beautiful, so I think that someday Y/n should write a book." Shawn said as he pointed at me. I blushed and smiled.

"Thank you honey. I wouldn't mind writing a book, but I feel like I would have to put something in the beginning that would say something like 'If you want to skip to the part where Shawn comes in, go to page, whatever.'" I said. Shawn pulled me closer to him.

"No don't do that babe. You've had a very interesting life, if you were to write a book, don't put that. Let the fans read about your life." Shawn said. I smiled at him.

"Thank you honey. So would you ever write a book?" I asked him.

"I think that maybe, sometime down the road I would. Honestly honey, if I wrote a book, I would have you look at it first." He said.

"Why?" I asked. He chuckled.

"My love, you were literally an English tutor at your school, so you would be good at corrections and editing." Shawn said. I smiled and nodded.

"Well thank you honey. I would feel honored to edit your book." I said, causing Shawn to smile.

I still have all of my old journals in a box. They're in the attic of mine and Shawn's house. I suddenly decided that maybe it really would be cool to write a book about my life. I went downstairs to where Shawn was sitting on the couch. He smiled when he saw me and I sat next to him. He opened his arms up and then wrapped them around me when I leaned on him and put my head on his chest. He kissed the top of my head.

"Hey there wifey." He said. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Hey there hubby. Um, do you remember when we were engaged and I was on tour with you and a fan asked if we would ever write a book about our lives?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous. Shawn's opinion means more to mean than anyone else's opinion, so if he doesn't think that I should write a book, then I most likely won't write a book. He thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Yeah." He said.

"Well, I was thinking, and what do you think about me writing a book? I mean, I have all of my old journals, so I could look back on those to remember things that happened." I asked and said. Shawn didn't even hesitate. He instantly smiled and nodded.

"That would be amazing honey. You're a wonderful writer and I think that it would be great." Shawn said. I smiled and felt my nerves float away.

"Okay. When and where should I start? How would I even get my book published?" I asked as I sat up.

"I don't know darling, but you can do research on it - I'll help if you want. Wait, didn't one of your dad's friends publish a book?" Shawn said and asked. I nodded.
