You and Me (Shawn Mendes) BOOK THREE

Chapter 5

"Nash?!" I screamed, yelling at the person that had returned from the dead. "I thought you had died!"

I jumped into the persons arms only to receive a confused look. They held on awkwardly as I got a better look at their face.

"Oh..." I said awkwardly as I realized that that was not the person I thought it was. They looked at me with an extremely confused face then walked away. I felt my face grow red as I followed Shawn to where Ed Sheeran was.

I saw a man with bright strawberry blonde hair and a worn blue flannel turn around and smile brightly at Shawn as we approached. Shawn walked up to Ed, Oh my gosh. What do I call him? Ed? Mr. Sheeran? Man of my dreams? Future father of my children?  My thoughts were interrupted by Shawn gently touching my arm and pulling me closer. I gulped and held out a shaky hand towards the amazing artist. He laughed and pulled me into a tight hug. Just relaxed and hugged him back then pulled away with a smile that I was sure was taking up half of my face. All of a sudden we all heard my phone go bzzzzzz and I cursed at it for its horrible timing. When I saw it was Miranda, I gulped. She never called unless it was an emergency. I told everyone I'd be right back then wandered to a corner with the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" I said wearily. I heard a few shaky breaths that sounded very inappropriate. "Seriously, Mir?! You can't set your phone somewhere else while you and Aaron are doing that?!" I said softly but sternly so that no one would hear me. All of a sudden I heard shouting then the line went dead.

I stared at my phone in my hand for a minute then just shrugged it off. No negative thoughts right now. I said as I shoved the device back in my pocket and trotted back over to Shawn and Ed. Or should I be saying Mr. Sheeran? Ugh.

"Hey!" I said when I returned. Shawn wrapped his arm lazily around my shoulders while Ed Sheeran smiled at me and waved. 

"What's your name, darling?" He asked. I blushed ever so slightly but on the inside I was screaming. 

"Uh... Um... Ah..." I stuttered. "Katie," I said with a sheepish smile. He laughed heartily and shook my hand.

"Well it is nice to meet you Katie. You can just call me Ed. I'm almost positive I'll be seeing you again some time soon, dear." He rubbed a hand on his chin as he smiled slightly at Shawn. I saw this action and looked up at my partner.

"Should we tell her?" Ed asked. Shawn stayed silent for a moment then nodded his head.

"Shawn will be performing a few songs with me," Ed started. My eyes grew wide and I turned and hugged Shawn.

"Oh my gosh that's great!" I said excitedly.

"But that's not it," Shawn said with a laugh. I looked at the two men weirdly as I waited for one to explain.

"Are you familiar with my song, Thinking Out Loud?" Ed asked me as he shifted his weight from one leg to the other. I cocked my head to one side like a dog a muttered a 'yes'. Ed laughed along with Shawn.

"Would you like to perform that with me along with All of the Stars and Give Me Love?" I gasped and covered my mouth as a stared at the singer-song writer in awe.

"Wait, you want to sing with me?" I said while pointing a finger to my chest. Ed pointed at me also and nodded.

"Yes, you." He said with a chuckle. I looked at Shawn for reassurance and he nodded.

"Yes. Yes! Of course!" I said excitedly. "Which parts do I sing? When do I come out onto the stage? What if I get scared and pee myself?" I asked frantically.
