All the way to Serenade her // Shawn Mendes

Chapter 25

Quinn Pov

All good things really do come in time, and I see that now. I sat most of my life wanting to escape from him. I hated looking at him, making eye contact, and even hearing his name. Then over time it all snapped in my head maybe he wasn't so bad. Maybe he was what I was looking foward to. Shawn and I were two different people. I had my boyfriend and he had Stacey. Also Brenda, but I guess that wasn't even a thing really. I thought that I would be fine without him, but the more I wanted to stay away the more I wanted to be near him. I kept finding myself more and more attracted to him. It was everything the little thing sand the big ones.

His voice, oh my goodness. I have only heard him sing once, but last night was the most amazing thing ever. His voice flows so beautifully hearing every rhythm. The way he taps his foot to the beat, and hi face gives out so much expression. I finally got to realize how amazing he really his. He has lots I potential in him, and is quite the looker. Though how did he find himself winding up with me? It still puzzles me every time I think about it. At the same time I begin to understand everything he meant.

Like the time where he was describing this girl, just to know it was me. I can see it all now, and I can understand it all. Even when Veronica was pushing me. She was only helping me out to help Shawn. I guess that was with the dress too. Though willingly I probably might had gotten one anyways. I still would have gone with her as a third wheel. Now I don't have to, I have a date.

I could get used to saying that, "Oh have a date!" I couldn't help but blush at this. It all makes me feel weird at the same time. I can't wrap my head around the concept of all of this. I hear a faint knock on my door. I open it to see smiling sisters. The plopped their garment bags on my bed.

"Cece let us in I hope you don't mind." Victoria says.

"Yeah it's fine. She knew you guys were coming."

"Okay then shall we begin?" Veronica grabs my hand and sits me down. Just like that she begins to work her magic.

I turn from the chair to look in the mirror. What would be the perfect word to describe how I was feeling right now. That's the thing it couldn't be described, it is too powerful for words. I hugged both of them hard for helping me get ready. Still the actions happening now astonish me. My hair was perfectly curled and my make up was done. I went to the bathroom to slip in my dress. I smile at the thought of this dress. I hated and loved this thing altogether. Now I can't stop staring at it.

I went back to see everyone waiting downstairs all ready. There was a knock at the door, leading with two men. Which would obviously be their dates, but mine wasn't here. We waited all little bit for Shawn, but I was becoming worried. There was indeed a knock later, and in walked Shawn. He walked straight towards me.

"I like to make an entrance." He had a smug look on his face. I play slapped his arm making him smile. He gently grabbed my wrist opening up the box in his hand. He carefully out the corsage on my hand. It had ivory roses on it with green leaves. It didn't exactly match, but I loved it.

I felt a tug on my dress from behind. I turned to see Veronica there. She motioned her head for me to follow.

Slowly she handed me an envelope, "Here open it."

I tore carful it not knowing what was inside, instead of tearing it open like a wild beast. I grabbed the paper to see, it wasn't a paper at all. It was a picture, a picture that capture the most amazing moment in the world.

"H-how did you get this?" I'm at a loss of words.

"I was there. Shawn asked to do some low key photography. I thought that maybe you'd like the same copy Shawn has." She half smiled at me.

"Thank you I love it so so much." once again I felt that indescribable feeling hit me. I placed the picture on the counter for when I came back.

The boys all chipped in to pay for a limo for all of us. We squeezed in touching shoulders. The excitement was floating in the air. More like lingering in the air letting everyone breathe it in.

I could feel the same energy except louder and faster. It was blasting to the music and everyone having a great time. We danced to a couple fast pace songs. Dancing and laughing at each other for poor dancing. I was learning so much from him. I wouldn't want to have it any other way right now. The lights went to a soft color, as the music slowed. The dj spoke and asked everyone to grab a partner.

"Quinn, may I have this dance?" Shawn bowed then reached out his hand.

I place my hand on his palm, "I would love to."

He shifted me, pulling me into him. We swayed for a bit. I could feel his body warmth vibrating onto me.

"Destiny" He mumbled.

I pulled so I could look at him. I scrunched, "What?"

"Destiny, this is destiny."

I smiled at him then put myself back, I knew what he meant. He used to say it a lot and I would never know why. Now I know why, and I'm glad too. I laid my head in his chest as I closed my eyes still moving to the beat.

He squeezed me harder planting a soft kiss on my head.

She got home in a love mood, moving as if she could still hear the music. As if she never left and was still there. Slowly she scanned the counter seeing something that caught her eye. She traced the picture with her finger, intently looking at it. It was framed in a desktop frame. She hugged it letting a tear fall, not afraid anymore. For all the sacrifices she made, never exsited. She felt what was real for her, she felt love.
