SEÑORITA -- Shawn Mendes

Part 6

Sitting on the couch next to Aaliyah it's clear that only the two of you don't know what happened at your place prior. She gives you a nervous, but encouraging smile, squeezing your hand.

"Connor refused to tell me anything," she whispers as the guys get ready to tell you about what happened and what it all means. Judging from the way they are working around the room, whispering to each other you wouldn't be surprised if they pulled out a damned presentation with slides and handouts.

You glance at her and you catch her peeking at Connor. It's been on your mind for a while that there might be something more between him and her, but you haven't built up the courage to ask her about it.

Ten more minutes pass, the guys are still whispering around, leaving you and Aaliyah totally out and you are just losing patience.

"Can y'all just tell us what happened?" you snap a bit annoyed. Shawn's head twists in your direction and he presses his lips together into a thin line. He is obviously trying to postpone this conversation for as long as possible, but you're not taking any more shit. You just want to get over with it.

They finally stop fidgeting around and each of them grabbing a chair they join you in a circle at the couch. Shawn pulls a wrinkled paper out of his pocket and hands it to you. All eyes are glued to you as you smooth it out and read the words written on it.

"This is what Mendes brings to you," you read it out loud looking up at the boys. "What does that mean?"

"It's a message from Wade, this is what was attached to the rock they broke your window in with," Brian sighs. "He wants you to know that as long as you are with Shawn, you won't be safe."

"Is this some kind of middle school game for him? Will he throw a tantrum if he sees us holding hands or something?" you ask in total disbelief this really is a problem.

"Wade is very keen on taking everything from Shawn, like a jealous little piece of shit," Brian growls in annoyance.

"Okay, then let's teach him a lesson," Aaliyah nods to herself and you hum in agreement. This shithead needs to be stopped.

"We've been actually planning a move for a while now," Dave chimes in grabbing your attention. "My sister's ex-husband is at the police. He has been helping us out with some stuff and we kind of teamed up with them."

"We found out that Wade wants to do business with a Mexican drug cartel. We told Matthew about it."

"Who's Matthew?" you ask, trying to keep up with the story.

"His sister's ex-husband," Connor explains and you nod so Dave can continue.

"So we are kind of working with them, giving them any information we can get and in return they are smoothing out some of our past troubles."

"Sounds like a fair deal," you nod.

"Yeah, but we are running out of info," Shawn growls and it's obvious it's making him upset.

"We would need someone from inside, if we could find out when they are hitting the deal off our whole criminal record would be polished clean," Brian chuckles dreaming of it. You want to scold them for having a criminal record in the first place, but you know it's not the time to act like their mom.

"Okay, so why don't you make someone go incognito?" you ask the obvious.

"Because Wade is not stupid and he knows all of us, basically keeps track of everyone," Shawn explains.

"Well, there is one person—" Brian starts, but he is cut off by Shawn's death glare.

"Don't even start with that shit," he hisses at his friend.
