Shawn

"Camila," I whispered "Mila" I said again and she opened her eyes a bit

"Hi baby" She said in a groggy morning voice

"Hi" I gave her a cheek kiss "I put our bags in the car, our flight's at 5"

We left the bag check counter and instantly a paparazzi guy was following us, pestering us with questions

"Camila is going to your Mexico show?" He asked "New song together, perhaps?"

"Go that way" Shawn said to me, trying his best to ignore him

"Are you two dating?" The pap asked

"No" Shawn simply responded

"Really? Cause after those hockey game pictures..."

"Bye." Shawn said cutting him off

Once we were far away from him, we both bursted into laughter. I shook my head smiling at him

"Not dating" I said under my breath

"I mean technically we aren't" He said with a grin shaking his head

We found our gate just in time for boarding. I started laughing to myself, he turned around and squinted at me.

"What?" I asked

"Why are you laughing?" He said causing me to laugh more

"I just think it's funny that-" I said but was cut off

"When a girl says she thinks something is funny she obviously doesn't think it's funny...." He said getting defensive

"I just think it's funny how we've done all these things and yet we aren't dating," I said

"The time will come just let it" He said with a firm smile

We scanned our tickets then started first class boarding, he walked a few feet in front of me finding our row.

"Window seat?" He asked me and I nodded

I sat down and opened the little screen on the window focusing on the people doing their thing, loading luggage, guiding planes.

"You're mad at me?" Shawn said

"Not at you, just what you said" I said looking back at him

"What did I say?" He said

"I don't want to fight on a plane, Shawn" I said looking out the window again

"Then don't." He said sounding increasingly more frustrated

I almost wanted to tell him to stop talking to me but something kept me from saying that, hopefully he'll get the hint that this is my way of fighting.

I've always been this way, when I'd argue with my parents as a kid I'd eventually give them the silent treatment. This keeps me from saying something I regret or didn't mean. I don't want to ruin his concerts or anything, kinda feel like I've already done that.

Once we were above the clouds I tried to forget about what happened. We were both tired, we woke up early this morning. Watching the clouds pass by was relaxing and helped clear my mind.

"Camila?" Shawn asked

"Yes?"

"What did I say? What made you mad?" He asked

I took a deep breath before answering "You said technically we aren't dating which is true, you haven't asked me but it really wasn't necessary to say that. I already knew that and it just seems like a sl-"

"Camila you know I didn't mean it like that"

"Then how did you mean it? Cause that how it came off."

"I meant it like we aren't dating yet"

"I don't see a difference honestly, the comment wasn't necessary Shawn. It kinda hurt to hear. I'm not gonna keep fighting on a plane."

"Camila?" Shawn asked

"No, just be quiet" I said turning away

I tried to make it seem like all of my attention was on the clouds passing by, but really I was focusing on his reflection in the window. Now I'm the bad guy, this is why I should have just kept my mouth shut. I've already managed to screw up his trip and we haven't even gotten off the plane yet.

Once the plane landed, we both got off. The tension was still there, we walked a few feet away from each other and went to go find out bags.

"There's yours" He said once my bag was coming down the collector

He grabbed it for me and put it by me, then once he found his we found the driver to go to our hotel.

I looked over at him while he was looking out the window, I felt incredibly bad about what I had said on the plane. I had a few hours to think about what he said and meant and I now understood why he had said that at the airport earlier. I quickly looked away when he tried to look at me.
