Professional Publicity Stunt » Shawn Mendes✔️

epilogue

A/N: You guys are so funny. I posted the last chapter and within MINUTES my phone was exploding with comments from you guys exploding with feelings (and I loved every second!).

Now, the sad truth. This is the ending. I don't have a sequel planned, so I'll be honest and say for real don't expect that, but I am writing Permanent with my bestie AnythingElseToAdd and it's a Shawn fic. Shawn and the main character Olivia get matching tattoos within ten minutes of meeting one another because...why not? It's going to be loads of fun, so be sure to check it out!

That being said, this is me signing off from Professional Publicity Stunt. Thank you guys, literally so, so much for reading. I hope to see you again in the comments of Permanent xx.

(Just as a preface, Rylie, Kate, and Lily are on the Graham Norton Show promoting the movie. It's a UK late night show for those of you who haven't seen it!)

"And Rylie, you just posted your first, was it a picture on Instagram? Or what was it?"

"Oh, you mean – You want me to talk about me coming out of hibernation," I laugh, setting my glass down as the crowd laughs with me. "My social media hibernation."

"Yes that," Graham laughs, tapping the cards on his leg. "Had it been a year?"

"Uh..." I pause, glancing upward as I think. "A year, or almost one, almost a year, yeah. I can't remember, but I did take a long time off."

"And was there a reason...?"

"You did your research," I reply knowingly, scratching my leg awkwardly, hearing Lily laugh next to me.

"He always does," she assures me with a nod.

"Right, yes there was a reason," I pause, still not sure how to work my way around this one.

"Did it have anything to do with our musical guest tonight?" Graham continues, egging me on.

I pause, leaning forward slightly as I lower my voice, "Who...who is the musical guest tonight?"

His eyebrows raise in surprise. "You don't know?"

"No!" Kate laughs loudly. "We didn't tell her!"

"How did you not tell her?"

"It's a surprise!" Lily defends. "Is he here?"

"Oh. My. God." I shake my head when I catch on, turning to look around the stage. "Shawn, you bastard," I laugh, the crowd loving my reaction. "Where is he?"

"He's backstage! Do you want him out here?"

"Hell yeah, get him out here!" I smack my leg, standing up. "I need to have a word!"

"Shawn Mendes everyone!"

Shawn walks out from behind the stage, waving to the crowd before immediately turning to look at me. I cross my arms over my chest, feigning annoyance with him. He holds out his arms, though, giving me a cheesy smile before he wraps his arms around me in a tight hug.

"Hi honey," he chuckles, kissing my cheek.

"Mhm, hi," I grin, smoothing down a piece of his hair. "What are you doing here? How did I not know about this?"

"Your friends are amazing secret keepers," he grins, waving to Kate and Lily. "Hey guys."

"I don't know how I didn't know this was happening," Graham exclaims, waving his cards. "But ironically, I have questions to ask."
