Our Dance: Shawn Mendes ✔️

- a week later

I had stayed at Shawn's all week, I went back to my house twice and that was only to get some clothes.

Shawn was determined to be by my side all the time which I loved, I mean who doesn't love that kind of attention. Also since Eli told me about the interview I was lucky enough to have a FaceTime call with Jada, of course Shawn was with me, talking for me every time I was lost for words.

She reassured me it would be fine and I have nothing to worry about. Hopefully that was the case. The interview is in five days and it'll be aired within the hours. The public's reaction is what I'm scared about.

"Lila!" Shawn shouts. "Lila!"

I pull the covers over me and pretend to go back to sleep. He was up bright and early as he hit the gym and met up with a few friends whilst I stayed in bed all morning.

I hear him walk in and I feel the bed dip. "I know you're not sleeping" he lifts the covers up. I shut my eyes trying my best to stay like this.

"Come on gorgeous, don't you want a kiss?" He teases, his hands slipping into my hair.

"Fine... I'll have to go back out then"

It goes silent and I feel him move away so I quickly shoot up immediately being pulled into a hug. "I thought you left" I chuckle climbing onto his lap.

"Nope" he holds my face pressing his lips against my nose.

"What do you want to do today?" He asks whilst kissing all over my face. "I'm going back to the studio today" I tell him.

"Gonna do some dancing?"

"No I'm going to jump out of a plane" I tease. "Ha ha" he pulls back. "Can I come?" He asks softly.

"No" I peck his lips but he frowns. "I'm joking. You can come but you'll have to sit and be quiet, I'm getting back into teaching"

"You woke up sassy today" He chuckles squeezing my hips. "You can teach me"

I giggle kissing him again, him being so close to my lips, how could I resist?

"Teach you what?" I smirk against his lips. "I like when you're like this" Shawn flips us over making me shriek.

"Like What?" I run my hands up his chest as I look up at him innocently.

"All playful and sassy" he licks his lips. "I'll show you playful" I clutch his shirt pulling him down harshly.

"Oh yeah you will"

"-so as your leg bends up bring your arms up, arch them and step to the side on you toes" I tell a bunch of six year olds learning ballet. Ballet was not my forte but I was okay. Shawn was sat to the side, watching me in adoration. I even saw his cheeks go red when I put on a creamy white coloured dress, all loose around the bottom and a tight bodice and of course my ballet shoes.

"Okay now, do your positions for me... three, two, one!" I exclaim watching them all as they copy me.

"Perfect!" I clap happily. "And one more time-" I do it again a little slower looking around at the class of fifteen.

We finally finish and they all quickly crowd around me with their juice bottles asking me all kinds of things and telling me. Shawn sneaks up behind me.

"He looks like prince Eric!" One of them shouts happily. "Miss Lila, are you married to a prince?"

I giggle looking up at Shawn. "I am, isn't he so handsome"

"Baby" Shawn whispers in embarrassment. "And feel his hair, it's so soft" I run my fingers through his hair. "Can I feel it?!"

"Go on" I wink at him. He tuts then crouches down, all the girls surrounding him and playing with his arm. Some even asking about the tattoos. Shawn was lovely with the children, he was so patient and kind to them.

One by one the girls leave and Shawn pulls me into him.

"I love this" Shawn says soft hands run down my waist. "Makes you look innocent" he smirks.

"Shawn" I playfully hit his chest. "What? You do look innocent" he chuckles.

"Will you dance for me?" He asks tilting his head to the side and looking at me as if I was some diamond making me feel all soft.

"Ballet?" I ask. "Yeah, you look so pretty and happy dancing and I want to take some pictures" he says softly.

"You want to take pictures?" I ask shyly.

"Yeah, just go dance for me please and we'll go on our official first date tonight" he winks. I turn around going to put on some music.

"So wonderful babe!" Shawn claps watching me. "I've not even started" I laugh at how overly supportive he was being but it was the absolute cutest, the way he looked at me with pride and love.

I see him get out his phone and I feel shy but his words of encouragement made me feel free.

"Beautiful!" He moves around me as I dance around the room. "You're flexible huh" he gives me a boyish grin.

"Shawn!" I run over to him. He catches me in his arms spinning us around.

"Seriously, I did not know your leg could go that high" he says impressed. "Maybe we could put that into use" I say cheekily.

"I'd love that" he grins kissing my cheek.
