wednesday 9:00 p.m
"who owns this place? it looks so much better than my apartment." pia said as her and amalie made their way through the elegant lobby.
amalie knew shawn owned it, because he told her on her way home from enya's cottage.
"i'm not sure, i thought it was your boyfriend's place." amalie lied as she nudged pia's shoulder.
"no, chris lives in brooklyn."
"more like he lives at your place."
"shut up! he's gonna be here, he might hear us."
amalie rolled her eyes stopping at the door, "through all this noise? i don't think so."
the door was opened by the one and only chris. pia's face immediately lit up as she kissed her boyfriend passionately. amalie stood there awkwardly trying to make her way pass the very touchy couple. to her dismay she bumped into shawn.
"you made it." he smiled down at her.
"yup, i'm here." she nodded uncomfortably.
shawn chuckled at her gesture, "can i offer you a drink?"
"no thanks i don't drink." she replied over the noise.
"i'll respect that." shawn said. "so what are you up to?"
"i'm pia's designated driver." she answered truthfully.
"you're what?" shawn, who was dying to be alone with her as creepy as that sounds, pretended not to hear so he could invite her upstairs.
"i'm driving pia home!" she said louder.
"sorry i can't hear! wanna go up?" shawn pointed to the stairs.
amalie followed him to one of the rooms which was already taken by pia and chris. it was not an image they wanted to see.
"um how about we go somewhere else?" shawn laughed.
"yes please."
they headed over to shawn's secret room. it's where he kept his old guitars and stuff from back home.
amalie looked around in awe at all the guitars, but one thing stood out.
"we love you shawn." she read out loud looking at one of the posters on his wall. "i didn't know you had fans."
"it was a high school thing." he shrugged. "i don't play anymore."
"oh my gosh," amalie laughed seeing his headshot for magcon. "you were a viner!"
"again, i thought i could be some famous singer or something,"
"looks like you had so many fans," amalie stared at his wall of fan art before turning to him, "what stopped you?"
shawn didn't feel like discussing the night his little sister died, "i wanted to do something else."
"so you chose to be an architect over teen sensation?" amalie said in disbelief.
"i want to design houses! stop judging me!" shawn laughed.
amalie laughed along before picking up the acoustic guitar beside the sofa where shawn sat, "play something."
"no i'm rusty."
amalie rolled her eyes as she positioned the guitar on her lap.
"i bet you played songs that purposely made teenage girls swoon over you." amalie said as she began to strum the wrong chords to boyfriend by justin bieber.
"i'd like to be everything you want!" she sang badly.
"hey girl," amalie pointed at shawn before strumming the guitar loudly. "let me talk to ya."
shawn shook his head laughing lightly at how cute she was.
"no? not that song, huh." amalie laughed along with him.
"nah i'll leave justin bieber to you." shawn smirked.
"it was that one time!" amalie exclaimed. "anyways i feel like you're a directioner. you give off that niall vibe."
she carefully plucked the strings to one of her favourite songs at the moment before she actually started singing,
"waking up to kiss you and nobody's there, the smell of your perfume still stuck in the air, it's hard."
shawn stared at her in awe, he had no idea that her voice was as beautiful as her.
"yesterday, i thought i saw your shadow running round," amalie's small fingers slipped and hit the wrong string. she giggled before continuing, "its funny how things never change in this old town. so far, from the stars."
"well yup, that's it." she smiled carefully placing shawn's guitar on the stand.
"you're amazing, did you know that?" shawn said as she sat back down.
"well yeah, i like to tell myself that pretty often." she shrugged.
"so what about you? why did you choose biology over teen sensation?"
"it never crossed my mind," amalie said. "plus i can't stand not having privacy."
"yeah that was kinda annoying, but i miss them," shawn looked up at his wall of fan art thinking back to all the hugs and smiles his fans gave him. "anyways, are you hungry? want anything to eat? or drink? i make a killer cocoa and muffins."
"i'll have some cocoa, please." amalie said following him into the kitchen that was empty, except for the two people who passed out behind the couch.
"shit, i was supposed to drive pia home." amalie realized looking out the window. her car was still there, but she didn't have her keys.
"chris, probably took her home." shawn said.
"how am i supposed to get home?" she muttered to herself.
"i would drive you, but i had a couple of drinks, im not in the mood to get my license taken away or get into an accident."
"yeah, that's probably not a good idea." she replied as she propped herself onto the counter.
"you can stay here if you want."
amalie thought about it. he has a lot of rooms, she can stay in one of them, "thanks, i'll be gone first thing tomorrow morning."
shawn handed her a cup of hot cocoa.
"do want me to help you clean up?" she offered looking around the dirty apartment.
"no, that's the least of my concerns," shawn said.
"what are your concerns?"
"sleep."
"then let's sleep."
they made their way upstairs to find a place for amalie to sleep. each of the 3 vacant rooms were filled with either naked couples or a passed out drunk.
shawn unlocked his room, "we can sleep here."
"together, you and me? me with you? gross. i'll take the floor." amalie half joked.
"but the floors so cold? why would you choose the cold floor over the shawn mendes' warm cuddles?" shawn said as he fluffed up the pillows.
"wow! how could i pass on that offer!" amalie said sarcastically. but how could she pass on that offer, she didn't like him, well she likes to think she doesn't, but he had the body of a greek god.
she took off her shoes and laid down, "do you mind if i sleep in my clothes or?"
"i'd prefer it off but no i don't mind." shawn smirked as he took off his shirt.
"and the fuck boy is back."
amalie couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous figure. shawn noticed and smiled as he laid down next to her small body, "you like me."
"goodnight, mendes." she turned to the side, ignoring the question.
shawn tried to inch closer to turn off the lamp, but amalie took it in the bad way and put a pillow between them. she wouldn't mind being cuddled by the shawn mendes, but she's amalie so.
"this is my side, that's your side." she said.
"okay, well can you turn off the lights on your side?"
"gladly." she said shutting them off.
she tossed and turned trying to get comfortable, but it was hard knowing that shawn was sleeping in the same bed as her. she finally found the perfect position faced in shawn's direction who she thought was already fast asleep.
when she closed her eyes, shawn opened his admiring her beauty illuminated by the street lights from outside. it reminded him of their drive around the city. that date went so wrong, but it felt right for him.
"goodnight, amalie." he whispered before dozing off.
