NANNY FOR MENDES.

Ninety-four

𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗪𝗡'𝗦 𝗣𝗢𝗩

When Mom, Dad and Aaliyah walked into this room, I was disappointed. Yes, of course I was happy to see my family after such a shitty day, but I wanted Soph to be with them.

"There's no way she can come in?" I ask my parents.

"Only first-degree relatives, Shawn." Dad says.

I sigh.

"She can come in without anyone knowing."

"If she gets caught, we'll be in trouble."

"Come on! There has to be some way."

"Ask your doctor. He is the one who said that only first-degree relatives are allowed."

"First-degree my ass. She is family."

"Rules are rules, Mendes." Noah says.

"Fuck off."

He rolls his eyes.

I sigh and push my head further into the pillow.

It's been a damn hour since I sat on the ground. My ass hurts but I don't care. I need to get inside or I swear I'll just barge in and won't give a fuck about anything else. I want—no, need—to see him immediately.

Aaliyah got inside again about fifteen minutes ago. So I'm left all alone, with an aching ass.

"I heard about what happened. I'm so sorry. Do you need any help? By the way, I'm gonna be in Toronto on the nearest flight." Julien. I smile at his text. He's gonna come all the way from France to support me. And I fucking love him for it.

Thirty minutes later, a doctor is coming over. He's obviously here for Shawn and Noah. He gives me a weird look, that says, "what the hell are you doing on the ground?"

I get to my feet and smile at him.

"Hello. You must be the doctor for Shawn and Noah."

"That's right. I'm Dr. Floyd."

"Hello, Dr. Floyd." I shake his hands. "I would like to ask you something."

"Of course."

"Umm... they said only first-degree relatives are allowed, but I would really love if you let me in."

"Actually, that was me."

Asshole.

"Who are you, ma'am?"

"Shawn's girlfriend."

"You're Mr. Mendes' girlfriend?" He asks me with a bit of emphasis on 'you're'

I know he expected me to be in fancy clothes, to be wearing a fancy perfume. He thought Shawn Mendes' girlfriend would hold a Louis Vuitton bag.

"Yes, Dr. Floyd."

"Umm. I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you."

He nods and gets inside.

This time, I keep standing on my feet. If I sit any longer on the floor, my ass will be numb.

Shawn's family comes out of the room, a minute later.

"The doctor asked us to leave the room." Aaliyah tells me.
