"Double date!" Camila said, clapping her hands in excitement.

"What?!" I yelled, choking on the water I was drinking as the words left her mouth, leaving me completely shocked.

"You heard it, double date." She answered, the smile on her face growing.

"It wasn't what I meant when I told you to find something enjoyable to do tonight. No, Camila, I'm not going out on a double date. No way." I said standing up to make my way to the kitchen.

"Oh, c'mon, Lucy! I don't understand why you hate double dates that much." She begged following me.

Oh, so you wanna know why? Maybe because I'm feeling something towards your boyfriend. Sounds awesome, right?

"Camila, no, I'm not going out on a double date." I repeated, making her smile fade away a little.

"It's gonna be so much fun, me and Shawn, you and Connor... And then, we're gonna spend the night with our boys. Sounds exciting yet?" She asked raising one of her eyebrows, a smirk forming her lips.

"Nope." I said shaking my head to the sides.

There was no way I was gonna accept going out on a double date, with Shawn not being mine that night.

"Do you remember how I went to that party last week, even though I was sick, just because you asked me to. And now, I'm, as your best friend, asking you to do something for me, and you're rejecting?" She asked looking at me completely disappointed.

"Camila, can't we do something else? I just, don't enjoy double dates that much."

What a lie.

"For only one night, if you don't like it, I'm not gonna ask again." She threw her hands up in the air, looking at me with puppy eyes.

"Please."

"Fine."

~ Four hours later ~

"How do I look?" Camila asked popping in my room the moment I got completely ready. I turned around and saw her looking so beautiful in her short, white dress.

"You look amazing, Camila. Shawn is definitely so lucky to have you." I mumbled the last part smiling, then turning around again to put my lipstick on.

"So bad that there are guys who are luckier than him, for example, Connor." She said a giggle leaving her mouth, making me join her.

"Yeah, I'm sure." I murmured, taking my purse that was laying on the nightstand at the same time.

"Hey, I know you are not so happy because we're doing this, but believe me, it's gonna be so much fun that you will want to do it again. You should have seen Shawn's reaction when I told him, he was like, 'Hell, yeah, I was waiting for this for so long. It's gonna be amazing.' And Connor was also the same. So we're gonna have so much fun tonight, and you're even gonna beg me for more, okay?" She said with a bright smile on her face. I nodded as we already decided to leave the house afterwards.

We were going to meet with the boys at our casual restaurant we would all go to, somewhere we can arrive in ten minutes at most.

Camila talked about something the whole drive, and to be honest, I tried. I tried to pay attention to what she was saying but my mind was just stuck on a couple words in Shawn's reaction. Why would he wait for this for so long now?

"Okay, what are you thinking about?" Camila said stopping the car as we already arrived at the restaurant. "You literally didn't listen to anything I said for the whole drive. Are you sure you're okay?" She asked with a worried look on her face.

"Yeah, it's just- I'm feeling a little down today, I don't know why, though. Sorry for not paying attention."

Okay, I hate lying her.

"It's okay. But we can do it some other time, if you want." She said attempting to start the car again.

"No, no." I said reaching for her hand. "I know how much you want this, and it's not a big deal for me, so we're doing this today." I smiled at her, reassuring that it was okay.

"If you say so."

——————————

"Finally." I felt two strong hands on my waist as  we walked into the restaurant, Connor whispering in my ear.

"Oh, c'mon, we are not that late." I turned around to give him a peck on his lips.

"But this guy here," He said pointing at himself. "Is missing you."

I opened my mouth to say that I was feeling the same way about him, but got cut off at that moment by a hand on my upper back.

"You're not even gonna give me a hug?" Shawn said looking at me, sticking out his bottom lip.

"Hey, we were having a conversation here, dude." Connor slapped Shawn's arm playfully as I was being pulled into a very tight hug by him.

"Don't worry, I'm not stealing your girl or something." Shawn said somewhere close to my ear, making me feel his hot breath on my neck a little.

I pulled away from the hug after a couple seconds, feeling so guilty that I was feeling something inside me every time his skin came in contact with mine. But I just couldn't help it.

"Let's sit there." Camila said pointing at a table not far away from us, somewhere in the corner. We all walked there and I sat down on one of the chairs, Connor placed himself next to me, which also caused me to face Shawn across the table.

We got the menus and I started analyzing it, not sure what to choose. I could feel Shawn's stare burning on my skin which made me look up at him to be met with his now dark eyes, punching a hole right through mine. I immediately looked down again, feeling my cheeks starting to have a light pink color.

"I'm going to the restrooms." I said standing up slowly, which caused all of the heads to turn towards me again.

"What are you going to order?" Camila asked as I already started walking.

"The same one as you." I answered looking at her over my shoulder, still melting under Shawn's stare on my dress.

Why was he doing this?

I decided not to take it slow and finished my job in there as fast as I could. I started washing my hands, looking at myself in the mirror to see how I blushed because of Shawn's actions a few minutes ago.

But I just shook my head to brush it off.

Connor. I have Connor and I love him. Not anyone else.

I closed my eyes to calm down a little, my hands resting on the sink. But it didn't last long as I got cut off by a voice, the door opening. I immediately opened my eyes and turned around, meeting with hazel orbs.

"What are you doing here?"

——————————

Here it is! Wow, approximately one thousand  two hundred words, I'm speechless...
