One Night || Shawn Mendes ||

"I can't believe we're here!!" Lexie squealed as our Uber driver slowed down to the entrance of the arena.

Lexie had her face pressed onto the glass window in complete awe and I couldn't hide my own smile as I watched her. I knew how happy this moment was going to be for her, I was glad to be apart of it.

"Here you ladies go." The driver said as he stopped at the front of the arenas entrance.

Lexie jumped out shouting thank you, I came out after her closing the car door. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

"Come on Kat!" Lexie shouted running towards the entrance that was still closed off.

"Hold on kiddo." I said taking my phone out and texting Shawn like he asked once we got here.

After a few minutes he responded with directions for us, I grabbed Lexie hand and we began walking around the side of the arena to a door and there we saw his tour bus manager waiting with a smile on his face.

"You must be the lovely Katherine and Lexie." He said extended his hand out for me to shake.

"Yes. It's nice to meet you." I stayed with a smile.

Lexie giggled as she held on to my hand tighter.

"I'm Cez. I'll be bringing you guys inside. You'll get a little behind the scenes before the madness." He laughed allowing us to walk past him to get inside.

My nerves were starting to come back like a rocket, once we started following Cez as he led us down a long hallway with different groups of people scattered around doing something of importance to get the show ready.

"I'm so excited!" Lexie whispered squeezing my hand as we followed Cez quietly.

"I know. This is exciting." I whispered back squeezing her hand in return.

"So this is the snack lounge." Cez said pointing over to a small room with a long table filled with pastry goods, healthy snack bars, waters filled half the sides of each end, fruit bowls in the middle of the table. There was round tables surrounding the front and sides of the table with chairs and cute tapestry on the wall and positive affirmations attached.

"Wow, this looks awesome." Lexie excitingly said looking around in such awe.

"It's cool, huh." Cez said looking down at her with a huge grin.

Lexie nodded and we kept on going with the tour which lasted about ten more minutes of showing us the backstage, we finally came to the moment that Lexie was mostly anticipating for sure.

Cez knocked one the door lightly, looking at Lexie with a grin as she bounced in much anticipation.

"Come on in." I heard his voice through the door suddenly making my own heart sink to my stomach quickly.

My palms got hot, my body felt flushed, my knees felt like they might buckle at any minute.

Get a grip Katherine!

He's just a guy.

Yeah but he's your guy, well not really but —

I shook my subconscious away as I tried to put on my best poker face.

This is for Lexie, she's a huge fan even though she's technically met him already, but still.

Cez opened the door to the dressing room, it was a warm shade of brown with mood crystals and such positive energy in it. It smelled like blood oranges and mangos a heavenly scent I might add.
