"It's only embarrassing if you care what people think."

———————————————————————-

"I don't think we should go together at all," Shawn blurted, cutting Camila off from her ranting of how great the night is going to be shared by the newly couple. "W-what?" Her heart broke. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal to him but it was to her. Everyone knew that they were together. Why wouldn't he want to be seen with her at all? "I just don't think it's a good idea to be seen together, at the grammy's." He whispered, attempting not to upset her, "Okay fine. But from now I just won't see you, wouldn't want you to be embarrassed by me," with that, she walked out. "Camila wai-" it was too late and she was already out the door.

So, here Camila was, in her dressing room, preparing herself for the possibility of seeing him all handsome but knowing that he didn't want to be seen near her. Camila was one step ahead of him though, she switched her seats from being beside him to being beside Taylor.

Her dress was a long, skintight red dress with an open back and a low v-cut. Her wild curls flowing over her shoulder with high heels that almost made her want to cut her feet off.

Shawn's head was hung low but once he was on the red carpet, it was all fake smiles from there.  He hadn't seen her yet and he was just notified that he was no longer sitting next to Camila. Now, his heart hurt even more. He didn't mean for it to sound like he was embarrassed by her, that was not the case at all. He loved her and wanted to show her off to everyone but he figured she wanted to show up separately but that clearly wasn't the case.

That's when she caught his eye, she was glowing. It was like the whole world stopped around her, it was only her. She was all he's ever wanted yet more. He watched as she giggled at something her manager said before walking onto the red carpet. Shawn was now getting interviewed but wasn't really paying much attention to that, all eyes on her.

She saw him too, it hurt like hell to even look at him for a second but she needed to pretend that everything was okay. It needed to be okay. She was bombarded with interview questions, most revolving around her album and of course, Shawn. "Where is Shawn tonight?" Camila looked around, there was no reason to ignore the question. She saw him, just standing there, he looked lost in space, so she pointed towards his direction, "he's right over there."

"Shawn!" The interviewer called out to him, immediately captivating his attention. Camila mentally swore herself out. "Hey," he smiled, walking over to the two but never did he once take his eyes off of Camila. The interviewer cleared her throat, thinking of a question, "I'm sure everyone is dying to know! Are you two dating?" Camila stood there frozen, she looked over to him and was about to let the 'shawmila' shippers down even though it wasn't at all true, they were deeply in love. "Yes. We are," Shawn immediately spoke up, wrapping his arm around her waist.

She was shocked. Wasn't the whole point of not coming together was to not be together? They wrapped up the interview, both knowing well that their social media's would be covered with their confession. "Camila, wait," Shawn softly spoke, wrapping his hand around her's and pulling her closely to him. He made sure no one was around, not because he was embarrassed but because he needed this moment with her, alone.

"What Shawn?" She crossed her arms in front of him, not standing down, "why would you even do that?" She yelled, "you don't even want to be near me!" Her eyes started to water but she stopped herself, "Camila, that's not true!" His voice raising but not harshly at her but mainly at himself, "t-then what?" She yelled back, pacing back and forth, "I thought you didn't want to be seen with me!" He ran his fingers through his hair, lightly tugging. "What? I wanted you by my side from the second we started dating!" She shouted, grabbing his hand, "Camila! I love you. I thought I was protecting you," he grabbed her face, bringing her closer to him, if that was possible, "I love you too," their kiss was full of bliss and passion.

"Come on, we have a performance to do, let's show the whole world that you're taken!"
