Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 5)

Shawn's POV

"Shawn, where the hell were you?" the brown haired male, aka my manager Andrew, asked.

"I was taking my break with a friend," I said.

"You were gone for an hour though," Andrew said.

"And that matters, why?" I asked.

"Because we set these breaks up for you," Andrew said. "And we agreed, or at least I thought we agreed, on thirty minute breaks."

"We did, but today I was with a friend and needed a little bit more time," I said.

"Come on Shawn, we need to get back to the recording studio," Andrew said.

"Fine," I huffed before turning to Niall. "Right here, noon tomorrow."

Niall nodded.

"I'll see you then," I said, awkwardly patting his shoulder before following Andrew back to the recording studio.

"And you're done," Lilliana, my music producer, said, standing up from where she was sitting.

I smiled, took my headphones off and set them on the microphone stand before walking out of the recording room.

"How did it sound?" I asked.

"Wonderful!  Magnificent! Absolutely amazing!" Lilliana praised.

"Now now, Lilliana, we don't want to give him too much praise," Andrew  said.  "But you did  do a great job, kid."

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Anytime, rock star," Lilliana said.

"Am I free to go now?" I asked.

"Why? Going somewhere?" Andrew asked.

"Kinda," I said, thinking about the guitar shop and silently hoping that Niall was still there.

"Who are you meeting?" Lilliana asked. "Is it a girl? Is she pretty? Are the two of you going on a date?"

Well, you see I thought to myself I am meeting Niall, well maybe. No, it's not a girl. I guess you could say he's pretty… pretty handsome. And no, it is not a date.

What I said though, was, "I'm meeting one of my friends. If they are still where I think they are."

"Okay, you go have fun," Lilliana said, shooing me out of the recording studio.
