Shawn Mendes Imagines

Coincide

{Shawns POV}

"And that's why I became manager. I mean, you can't expect to work for someone that doesn't even know where the company will be in a few years!" The man next to me explained passionately. I nodded along and downed the rest of my drink.

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly." I responded. I frankly had no idea what he was talking about, but he wouldn't stop. I agreed with whatever he was saying and laughed when he did.

"Well, I'll see you around, kid," he patted my shoulder gently before walking off in the other direction. I sighed with relief and filled my drink with whatever alcohol I could get my hands on.

"They have alcohol here?" I looked beside me to see a girl around my age stare in awe at my drink.

"How do you think I'm getting through the night?" I asked with a small smirk. She chuckled and poured herself a glass of red wine.

"I've been sober the whole night," she said, shaking her head before taking a long sip of her drink. Before we could continue, a couple came over to us. The man was wearing a standard suit with a bow tie, and the lady was wearing a long red dress, covered head to toe in gold jewellery.

"Mendes, Y/L/N!" The man said with a deep chuckle. "Gosh, has it been a while or has it been a while?" Me and the girl chuckled and nodded, greeting the two.

"It's been a while, eh?" The girl smiled widely as she took another sip from her drink.

"We'd love to stay and chat, but I believe we've just been called for a speech!" The man said. We said our goodbyes as he grabbed the lady's hand and they were off.

"Who were they?" I asked quietly. She shrugged and grabbed some fruit from the large plate.

"No idea," I smiled just as I was being shouted somewhere else.

"Is that Shawn?" A high pitched voice asked. I shut my eyes briefly and tossed the remainder of my drink down my throat. I turned around and was met with a family friend, who's name I completely forgot.

"Yes, hey," I smiled, as she kissed both my cheeks. I heard the girl snigger behind me as the woman held my face in her cold hands. I discreetly slipped her the finger from behind which just made her laugh more.

"Come on, I need you to meet someone. They've heard all about you!" She screeched. I forced a wide smile and followed after her as she led me to a group of people all dressed in very expensive clothing and jewellery.

We engaged in conversation for a little while before I caught eye contact with the girl from before. She was also standing with a group of people, but wasn't listening to what they were saying. She shook her head at me and mouthed 'save me'

I darted my gaze to the door labelled EXIT and her eyes lit up. I turned back to the group and laughed along with what they were saying.

"I'm just nipping to the restroom, this was a great talk," I smiled at them as we said our goodbyes. I ensured no one was looking before sneaking out of the side door.

A few moments later, the door opened again and the girl from earlier walked out.

"Oh, Y/N? Where are you going?" A voice asked from inside.

"For some fresh air, I'll be right back!" Before the voice could respond she slammed the door shut. She looked at me with a look of relief on her face.

"You got dragged here by your parents too, eh?" I asked with a small smirk. She nodded as we made our way down the steps.

"How could you tell?" She grabbed my upper arm for support and I realised she's wearing heels.

"So where are we going?" I asked her. She thought for a moment before grinning.

"There's this burger place down the road, it's open until 3. Those appetisers in there weren't doing it for me," she said, holding her stomach. I chuckled and nodded.

"Lead the way,"
