Señorita - Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello
Shawn's POV
May 2019
To say that I was nervous was an understatement, I was terrified. I was afraid of making a fool of myself in front of Camila. All these years, and I still didn't know how to act normal in front of her. I had warned everyone I wasn't a good dancer and I hoped they had understood how worried I was about this, specially Sara and Calvit, the choreographers. Camila introduced me to them and I instantly like them both. They were so nice and chill and that made me feel a bit better. I could see Camila had a great relationship with them and I loved to see her surrounded by the right people now.
"Ok. Guys. Are you ready?", Sara said standing in front of us, very enthusiastically.
"As ready as I can be", I sighed.
"Don't worry, Shawn. We'll make you look good", Calvit told me.
"Thanks, man".
The first part was just stretching and that was fine by me. It felt like my warm up at the gym, so I had no problem following their directions.
"Bent down all the way and try to touch your toes with your hands", Sara said. "Relax you back, your shoulders, your neck and feel the stretch".
I looked over at Camila while my head was down between my arms. She looked so tiny next to me, barefoot. Her hands were struggling to touch her toes, she was trying though, I had to give her credit for that. Her cheeks were a bit blushed because of the work out and her hair, that was in a bun on her head, was messily falling around her face.
"Now up", Sara said and when I raised to my feet she had her inquisitive eyes looking at me.
I knew she had caught me staring at Camila but she just laughed subtly and I acted like nothing had happened. Be professional, Shawn.
"Alright. Calvit let's show them what we have prepared", she asked.
They stared at each other longingly before starting to move, while Camila stood by my side with her arms crossed over her chest. Sara brushed Calvit's face with her fingertips before he held her hand and she reclined back. He held her close from behind after and she lower herself a bit.
"That's it for now", Sara said with a smile.
I didn't know how I felt about all the touching. Shit, this was my biggest dream and nightmare at the same time. And why did it had be here her mom, her manager, my manager, and more people from our teams watching us do this?
"Looks good", Camila said unbothered.
Shit, maybe I was the only one overthinking this. That's lame.
"So first step", Calvit called and he and Sara held hands a bit apart and then he pulled her to his body.
"Easy, right?", Sara said and asked us to do it.
The electricity running through my body wasn't letting me think straight. Camila offered me her hand and I took it. It felt tiny and delicate in mine.
"Now, use the weights of your bodies to pull each other together", Sara instructed.
The first time we did it felt awkward to say the least. I didn't pulled strongly enough for her to come to me.
"Sorry", I said awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck.
"No, it's ok", she brushed it off.
"Guys, this is a bit about trust. Camila you have to hold his hand and lay back without fearing that you will fall, and Shawn, you have to pull her closer more eagerly, ok? Let's do it again".
