Shawn Mendes Imagines

"I don't want to like you"

[UNEDITED]

"Y/n, why are you pacing around so much?" my sister asked, looking up from her phone.
"Oh, um, no reason. Sorry."
"No, you weren't bothering me, but I'm getting worried about you." she said.
"I'm okay." I said, sitting down next to her.

"Really?"
"Yeah, I guess."

"Okay, what's on your mind?"
"I don't know, Liv. I've just been having these weird feelings and I'm scared."
"Go further in depth."
"It's just-I don't know, it's stupid. There's just this guy and everytime I see him, I feel these weird things in my heart. The thing is, I've never really talked to him that much either with makes this that much more confusing."
She frowned as I continued to pace.

"You think he's cute."
"Yeah, but that's about it. "

"Try talking to him."
"About what?"

"I don't know. Just say something like 'hey, would you like to hang out sometime?'"
"Like a date?"
"If you want it to be. "

"I don't know, Liv."
"Do you have his number?"
"Yeah because we did a project together."
"Okay, well, text him!"
"No!"

"Give me your phone." she said, standing up.
I quickly backed away.

"Y/n, give me your phone."
"I'm not going to let you text him."
"Please?"
"No!"

She made a face at me before going downstairs. I rolled my eyes at her and laid down on my bed, deciding to scroll through Twitter and Instagram.

I saw that I had a dm on instagram.

Once I saw who it was, I nearly choked. I quickly tapped on it to see what he said.

Hey, your sister told me you liked me?

My eyes widened.

"Olivia!" I yelled.

I heard her running up the stairs.

"Yes?"
"What is this?" I yelled at her, showing her my phone.
"It wasn't me!"
"Uh huh, sure it wasn't. You're my only sister!"

"You weren't going to do it so I found his insta and dmed him."
"Why would you do that?"

"Because you're so boring and need something exciting in your life!"
I groaned.

"Just talk to him!" she said, leaving my room.

My phone beeped.

I know it's late, but do you want to meet?

I sighed. What's there to lose?

I dmed him back saying, Sure, where?

Meet me at the arcade by your house?
See you there

I got up and changed into sweats and a hoodie.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna go meet him," I told Liv as I walked downstairs. "If mom comes home, tell her I'm out with some friends."
"Ah, have fun!" she giggled as I shut the door.

I grabbed the keys before I left.

As I drove to meet up with him, I could hear my heart beating.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw his car parked.

I quickly parked, seeing as there were only a few cars.

When I opened the door, I could hear the loud arcade music playing.

"Y/n!" I heard someone yell.

I looked over to the small dining area, seeing him sitting there.

I walked over to him.

"Hi." he smiled.
"Hey."

"Um, so-"
"Listen, I'm sorry-"
"For what?"
"For my sister."
"No, it's. Sit down." he said, pulling a seat out for me.
"Thanks."
He nodded.

"Anyways, do you like me?"
"N-no?"
"You sound unsure." he chuckled.

"I don't want to like you, that's the thing."
"And why is that?"
"Because I know you have a girlfriend."
"No I don't. Where did you hear that?"
"Aren't you dating Kylie?"
"No."

"Oh, um, but I-I don't want to like you because, um-"
He grabbed my hand. My heart felt like it was going to burst.

"Why?"
"B-because I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"This." I said, motioning to our hands.

He looked at me confused.

"I'm scared something will go wrong."
"Well, in any relationship, mistakes and arguments are bound to happen."
"That's true, but I'm still scared, Shawn."
"I know, but you just have to risk it, ya know?"
"Yeah."

"So, y/n, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"I'd love that." I smiled.
