Lila Hamilton
- two days later

I walk out he bathroom after showering, Shawn was pacing back and forth whilst talking on the phone with Andrew on loud speaker. He notices me enter, sending me a smile. I reciprocate and head to my suitcase picking out some clothes for the day, deciding on blue jeans and a grey hoodie.

"Baby, we're heading out in ten minutes" Shawn whispers over Andrew, who was still talking about the release of the song.

"Are you nervous?" I ask him. He shakes his head no. "Are you?"

"Yeah" I laugh shakily. "It's my first one"

"You'll be fine" he kisses my cheek then he gets back to his phone call and I change then go back to the bathroom to dry my hair and put some makeup on then I walk out to Shawn who was already dressed.

"Ready?" He asks me. I nod and he takes my hand leading me out.

We make it downstairs and then we're told to wait outside for the car to arrive which Shawn's security would be driving. As we wait people walk past us mumbling things.

"Have you eaten?" Shawn asks, not paying attention to anyone around us or the multiple people taking pictures.

"Yeah we had breakfast together" I tell him. "We should stop for some food, don't want you to faint mid-tattoo" He chuckles.

"That would be bad" I laugh just picturing it in my head for a second.

"Hi Shawn! We love the song!" A group of three girls come over. "Oh thanks" Shawn smiles down at them, his hand gripping mine. They start talking about the song and I simply just stand there smiling them.

"Also we love you Lila, you're literally so pretty" one of them says. Shawn looks down at me nudging my side. "Thank you, you guys are beautiful too" i say back.

"Are you guys going on a date?"

"Oh my, Shawn!" I exclaim. "We still haven't been on our first date" I blurt out embarrassingly making them all laugh. "I'll take you out tonight babe" he kisses my forehead, now making them all awe.

"Anyway we have to go now, it was nice meeting you" Shawn tells them. We quickly get a group picture then get in the car.

"I can't believe we've not had a date yet" Shawn says in shock. "I know right, you're the worst" I giggle lightly.

"Tell me about it" voice laced with sarcasm as he rolls his eyes at me playfully.

"I'm scared"

"You'll be fine" Shawn reassures me again. "But the noise. It's so loud and I'm scared" I shake my head about to walk away out of the tattoo parlour. Shawn quickly grabs my arm pulling me back into him.

"You got this. Now go in there and get that beautiful tattoo and I'll get mine then we can go out on our first date" his hands rubbing my arms.

"Okay, Yeah I want this. I'll see you soon" I lean up and Shawn meets me half way quickly kissing me. Shawn goes with his usual tattoo artist and I go to another room with Kian, he seemed lovely. We wanted to get the tattoos separate so it would be a surprise when we saw them.

"No need to be nervous Lila, Shawn said he'd kill me if you even shed a tear" Kian chuckles sitting down. "Plus I'm known for being really gentle, so you'll be fine" he smiles warmly.

"Right, I'm ready" I nod sitting down on the chair like he told me to. We soon start and yes the pain was excruciating but the outcome was amazing.

I decided to get two small butterflies at the back of my neck. It wasn't an exact copy of Shawn's but they were similar.

"Looks so good, thank you" I hug Kian. "Aw no worries, for your next one call me" he chuckles pulling back. "Shawn probably isn't done so you can wait out here if you want" Kian suggests.

"I think I'll get us some food, erm do you want anything?" I ask politely putting my hoodie back on. "I'm good thanks, I'll let Shawn know" Kian tells me then goes to other room.

I grab my bag and head out not wanting to take long. What I didn't know was that people had started to crowd around the area, now calling my name.

"Lila! What tattoo is Shawn getting?"

"Are you guys official?"

I look around then spot Jake who puts his arm out to me. I grab his hand and we quickly get in the car. "So where to?" He asks me as I keep my eyes outside on everyone, luckily the windows were tinted.

"Erm is there a Mexican place near by?" I ask.

"Sure is, you tell me what you want and I'll go in, just in case"

"Yeah of course" I nod. On the way there Shawn texts me which made me laugh, imagining him texting with one hand and acting all macho as his arm gets tattooed.

"Oh my god" I gasp. "It's so pretty" I say in awe as Shawn grins at me as I admire the tattoo.

"Does it hurt?" I ask looking up at him. He shakes his head head no. "Where's yours? Did you back out?"

"No!" I exclaim. I take the hem of my hoodie taking it off and I turn around shoving it up in a bun.

"Oh babe it's gorgeous" Shawn's fingers gently trace around it. "Like it?" I ask.

"I love it, let me get a picture" he kisses my shoulder gently then grabs his phone. "I need one of you!"
