You Don't  Know How Lucky You Are: Keaton Henson
'Does he know, who you are? Does he laugh, just to know, what he has?'

'Coming!' Shawn yelled from inside his apartment in Los Angeles, where I was standing outside with my suitcase and a huge smile on my face, as I was not supposed to be here. I was supposed to have an economics test today for one of my university elective subjects but by some miracle I was allowed to take early, as I would be on the flight to LA when the test was being taken meaning I could not give anybody the answers.

'Hey,' I said with a grin as Shawn opened the door, a gasp slipping from his mouth as he picked me up and swung me around, showing just how excited he was to have me here unannounced.

'Sienna! What are you doing here baby?' he asked when he put me down, not before kissing me quickly.

'I thought I would surprise you,' I said with a grin. 'And possibly be your date for the AMA's tonight?'

'It would be an honour to have you on my arm tonight,' he said with a grin. 'God this is the best surprise ever, come in.'

I had been to Shawn's LA apartment a few times, mainly when he first bought it because it was during my summer holidays and he needed help with decorating the place. It was in Beverley Hills, which never really bothered him as it was only a place for him to sleep when he was recording in the city.,

'I like what you have done with the place,' I said, admiring all the art and different pieces of furniture he had added since I had last been here.

'Thanks, Si, it was getting a bit boring without you here so I had to add some colour into it,' he said with a grin which just made me blush softly before I went to go and put my suitcase in his room, along with hanging up my skirt and top for the night.

'I think I need a nap' I said lying down on his bed, smiling at the picture of us at our high school graduation dinner that he had on one of his bedside tables, the other table holding a picture of him and his parents and his younger sister.

'Do you have a hair and makeup artist coming around?' Shawn asked as he lay down next to me, our hands linking together as I rested my head on his chest, my eyes immediately feeling heavy.

'Yeah at two,' I said before letting out a loud yawn which made the both of us giggle.

'I'll wake you up at one then?' Shawn asked and I nodded before he kissed my forehead. 'Alright well I'm going to go for a run, I'll be back before one.'

'Okay, I love you,' I said as he slowly got up and I cuddled into the pillows and quilt which felt like soft clouds after a fourteen-hour flight from Sydney.

Waking up to get ready happened way sooner than I would have liked it to but as Shawn reminded me, I definitely would not want to attend the AMA's looking like I had just woken up.

The girl who did my hair and makeup was the same artist who did my hair for the VMA's last year and she always does an incredible job. We ended up going with a silver eye to complement the light silver outfit I was wearing tonight and we put my hair into a messy ponytail and curled it loosely to show off the back of my bodice.

'Thank you so much,' I said to Alyssa, who I would definitely be seeing once again.

'Anytime Sienna, you look incredible,' she said before we gave each other a hug before I paid her and she rushed to get to another client.
