A/n: Explicit language in this one! Anyways, please enjoy this imagine. Okay, without further ado, let's begin, shall we?
My relationship with the singer and songwriter, Shawn Mendes, has been public for about two months, but Shawn and I have been dating for close to seven months. I want to get him something nice for our seven month anniversary as a way of not only saying happy anniversary, but also as a way of saying thank you for letting me stay with him this summer. Me living with him for the summer and all of the time that we've spent together has really brought us closer and I love it.
"Where are you going baby?" I heard Shawn ask as I tried to leave the bed.
"I have to go make a phone call. It's ten o'clock my love, we slept in." I said. Shawn nodded.
"Okay. Is everything okay?" He asked. I nodded as I got back on the bed and pushed some of his curls out of his face.
"Yeah. I'll be right back honey. How about some of your delicious pancakes?" I asked. He nodded.
"Okay darling. I love you." He said. My heart fluttered as I smiled.
"I love you too." I said. Shawn got up and went to the kitchen, I got up and went to the balcony and called Brian, Shawn's best friend.
"Hello?" Brian asked.
"Hey Brian, how are you?" I asked.
"I'm good, how are you?" He asked.
"I'm good. Um, so Shawn can't know about this, but I would like to get him a present. Not just for our seven month anniversary, but also as a way of saying thank you for him letting me stay with him this summer. I'm just not a hundred percent sure of what to get him and I wouldn't know where to go anyways. Would you mind helping me please?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's fine. Um, well he has plenty of guitars. What could you get him?" He asked.
"I don't know. Are there any places that sell art? Maybe I could find a painting or something that he might like. Do you know where I might be able to find a store that would sell some art?" I asked. There was a pause.
"I think so. Are you going to be free today?" Brian asked.
"I'm pretty sure I will be. I think that yesterday Shawn told me that today would just be a lazy day indoors." I said.
"Okay. Will you be ready by noon?" Brian asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Okay. I'll pick you up then and take you to the place that I'm thinking of." Brian said.
"Okay, thank you. Wait, what do we tell Shawn?" I asked.
"Um, we could tell him that I just want to get to know you better or something like that." Brian said.
"Okay. Thank you for this." I said.
"No problem." He said.
"Bye." I said.
"Bye." Brian said, and we hung up. I went back inside and Shawn smiled at me.
"Hey there honey. I was thinking that we could just watch movies today. Does that sound good?" Shawn asked.
"Oh, at noon Brian and I are going to hang out. He just wants to get to know me better." I said as I felt a pang of guilt. Shawn's smile fell, causing my heart to break. He looked at the pancakes again.
"Oh. Okay. Um, so we'll just spend time together until then, and then when you get back we'll spend more time together." Shawn said. I nodded and rubbed his back a little.
"That sounds wonderful. You know what I haven't done in a while?" I asked.
"What?" Shawn asked.
"I haven't given you a back massage in awhile." I said.
"Oh that's true. You give really good back massages babe." He said and I laughed.
"Thank you. Did you know that you're my best friend?" I asked. He smiled at me.
"Oh really?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yup." I said as he finished making some of the pancakes.
"Well that's good because you're also my best friend." He said.
"But wait, what about Brian? Isn't he your best friend?" I asked. Even though Shawn calls me his best friend in front of other people, now that he was saying it just the two of us, I felt surprised for some reason.
"Nope. You are." Shawn said as he turned to me.
"What about your mom?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Nope. You." He said.
"What about Aaliyah? Or Manny?" I asked. Shawn chuckled and put his lips on mine. His hands went to my waist and my hands went to his cheeks. I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks.
"You. You know me better than anyone else and you know things about me that I've never told anyone else." He said. I smiled at him.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too." He said. We had breakfast and then I gave him a back massage until there was a knock at the door. "I got it."
"Okay." I said. I was wearing blue shorts and a striped shirt.
"Hey, come on in. I heard that you want to get to know my girl better." Shawn said as Brian walked in.
"Yeah. Well I have to really know my best friend's girl." Brian said. I stood up and got my sneakers on.
"Wait, aren't you guys going to hang out here?" Shawn asked when he saw me getting my shoes on. I looked at him.
"No, we were going to get lunch or something." Brian said. Shawn nodded and I could tell that he was disappointed.
"Don't worry babe, I'll be back in a little bit." I said. Shawn nodded and then looked at Brian.
"Can I have a moment alone with her please?" Shawn asked. Brian nodded.
"Sure, I'll just be in the hallway." He said and we nodded. Shawn pulled me close to him.
"What's up baby boy?" I asked.
"You're mine. Never forget that." He said.
"I know that I'm yours honey. You don't have to worry about that." I said. He nodded.
"He's my best friend and he's a good guy... just don't leave me, okay?" He asked. My eyes widened and I hugged him.
"Oh honey. Oh my sweet man, I could never leave you. Not now, not ever. I love you and only you, okay?" I asked. He pulled away from the hug and nodded.
"Okay. I'll see you later." He said before giving me a quick kiss.
"Okay babe. Don't watch any Harry Potter without me!" I said as I grabbed my wallet and phone. Shawn laughed.
"I won't. Have fun, but not too much fun." Shawn said and I laughed. I then stepped out to the hallway.
"Everything okay?" Brian asked.
"He just got a little jealous I guess." I said. Brian nodded.
"Okay. So I know of a mall that has some art stores in it and it's close by." Brian said. I nodded.
"Okay. You don't have to stick with me by the way, you can wander around and I'll just call you when I'm all set to leave." I said as we reached the car.
"Okay. Let me know if you do actually get hungry for lunch. I'll pay." Brian said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said. We soon reached the mall.
"So where's the store?" I asked.
"There's a map up here. So, I'll be here, and the store that you're looking for is here." Brian said as he pointed at the map. I nodded.
"Okay. I'll text you when I'm all set to go." I said.
"Okay." Brian said, and we went our separate ways. I found the store and went in.
"Hi there, could I help you with anything?" A woman, Jackie, asked.
"Do you guys have any music related artwork?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yes we do. It's right over here, if you'll follow me." She said.
"Okay." I said and followed her. She pointed at the artwork.
"Here it is. Do you need help with anything else?" She asked. I shook my head.
"No. Thank you though." I said.
"You're welcome." She said and walked away. What about a framed picture of a guitar? Maybe. What about a framed picture of a piano? I don't know. I then gasped. There was a framed poster of Drake's Hotline Bling. I have to get it. I looked at the pricetag, and it wasn't too bad. I went to the cash register and paid for it. They put it in a box. I stepped out of the store and was about to pull out my phone to text Brian when I heard someone call out my name.
"Y/n!" She said. I looked. Oh God. It was Shawn's stalker, Arabella. I fake smiled at her.
"Hi, how are you?" I asked.
"Well I would be better if you weren't dating Shawn." She said. Wow. Okay.
"Sorry to hear that but Shawn and I are in a very happy relationship." I said.
"I think that there's a place that sells knives nearby. How about you stay here and I'll go get one?" She asked. I pulled out my phone.
"Are you trying to threaten me?" I asked.
"Yes, you dumb bitch. I should be with Shawn, not you. You're nothing but a skank, a slut, a whore, a bitch, the list goes on and on. Not to mention that you're fat and ugly." She said as I texted Brian.
Me: SOS. ARABELLA.
"Did you get all of that out of your system?" I asked.
"No. What are you holding?" She asked.
"It's a present." I said.
"Not anymore." She said before ripping it out of my hands and throwing it on the ground.
"NO!" I yelled as she began to stomp on it. She then picked it up and gave it back to me as Brian rushed over. This print had been the last one left.
"What the hell just happened?" Brian asked.
"Shawn's girlfriend is a skank Brian." Arabella said.
"No she's not. Leave her alone." Brian said.
"Fuck you Y/n. I'm going to kill you someday." She said. Brian and I walked to the car.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head, unable to speak or else I would burst into tears. We soon got to the car. When we got in the car, I opened up the box and began to cry. It was so smashed.
"She ruined it and this was the last one there." I said.
"It's okay. Let's get you back to Shawn." He said. I nodded and continued to cry. I felt so bad. I didn't even give a shit about the death threat that she had just made on me, I just felt bad about the present. I had a key to Shawn's place, and I unlocked the door and walked in as I cried. Shawn's eyes widened and he stood up.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Shawn asked.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry Shawn." I sobbed.
"Come here. Let's sit down and talk." He said. We sat down and I told him everything. His eyes widened even more.
"You would've loved it, but she smashed it. Look." I said as I opened the box and showed it to him.
"Honey, I don't give a fuck about the present. I only care about if you're okay, and considering the fact that you're sobbing, you're not okay. It's not okay that she said those things to you and that she threatened to kill you. I'll call Andrew and see what we can do." Shawn said.
"I tried to get to her faster, I'm really sorry Shawn." Brian said.
"It's okay. Maybe just stick with her next time so she's not alone." Shawn said. Brian gave Shawn a bro hug and then looked at me.
"I'm sorry Y/n." He said.
"It's okay." I said. He nodded and left. Shawn looked at me.
"I'm going to step out of the room and call Andrew, okay?" Shawn asked. I was still crying a bit. I shook my head.
"To be honest, it scares me that she said that. I just want to be with you right now." I said. Shawn pulled me nice and close to him.
"I'm right here honey. I'm right here." He said.
"I'm so sorry about the present. I saw that it was Drake and I got so happy because I knew that you would love it. I needed to get you something and then she destroyed it." I said.
"It's okay my love. You didn't need to get me anything." He said. I looked up at him.
"Yes I did. Shawn, you've given me a key to your place. You're letting me stay here for the summer and you've been amazing. Plus, our seven month anniversary is coming up, so of course I needed to get you something." I said. He rested his forehead against mine.
"You're amazing and thoughtful and sweet, but you really don't need to get me anything. Having you here with me has been absolutely wonderful. I love you baby." He said.
"I love you too. I just... I thought that if I got you that present, it would keep you happy, you know?" I asked. Shawn pulled away and frowned at me.
"Honey, I don't need a present from you to keep me happy. I just need you. You are what makes me happy, not the present. I could sit on the couch with you every single day for the rest of my life and I would be the happiest man on the planet." He said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said. Shawn kissed me quickly.
"I'll be right back baby. I'm going to go call Andrew." Shawn said.
"And then you'll come right back?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yup." He said as he stood up.
"Um, Shawn?" I asked.
"Yes love?" He asked.
"We should probably tell my mom about this, but she's going to flip and want me to come home." I said. Shawn sighed.
"Okay. Um, let me call Andrew and then when I come back in we'll figure that out." He said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said. He stepped out and I watched him pace for a few moments. I then went in his bedroom and got my laptop, and went back into the living room. I went online and found a sign that said "You will forever be my always." and I ordered it quickly. Shawn soon walked back into the room.
"Okay, I'm going to do a live stream and address this, and Andrew said that I'm allowed to say her name." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Okay. Do you want me to go in another room?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No. How about you sit right next to me." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said. Shawn then began the live stream as I leaned my head on his shoulder. I still felt bad about the gift that I had originally gotten him.
"Hi guys, so, we need to talk about some stuff. It is not at all okay to send any type of hate to my girlfriend. Also, never, ever, ever threaten my girlfriend." Shawn said. He then talked about what happened today.
"I wasn't trying to trick you, by the way. When I told you that Brian and I were going out so he could get to know me better. I wasn't trying to lie to you or trick you or anything." I said as I began to cry. Shawn held me.
"It's okay honey. I know that you weren't trying to lie to me or trick me or anything." Shawn said.
"I'm really sorry about the present. I was only holding it with one hand because I was trying to get my phone out with my other hand so I could text Brian and then she ripped it from my hands and threw it on the ground and she was stomping on it. It would have been so perfect for you." I said as I cried. Shawn wiped my tears away.
"Shhh my love. It's okay. It's not your fault. It's okay. I don't even care about the present, I care about you." He said. I nodded and buried my face in his chest.
"My mom's going to flip and she's going to want me to come home but I don't want to leave." I said.
"I know honey, we'll call your mom after this. You're safe with me, I promise. We'll get a restraining order against the girl." Shawn said. I looked up at Shawn.
"But I don't think that there's any proof that she harassed me. Like, I don't think anyone videotaped it or anything." I said.
"We'll figure it out. I promise. You trust me, right?" He asked.
"Of course I do. I trust you with everything in me." I said.
"Then trust me when I say that we'll get this figured out." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Okay. I just want to cuddle with you." I said. Shawn nodded and looked at his phone.
"Okay guys, I'm going to go, but just please respect Y/n. I love you guys. Bye." Shawn said and ended the live stream. We then called my mom. She flipped out and wanted me to come home, but Shawn and I reassured her that I'm safe with Shawn. She was hesitant but finally agreed to let me stay.
A few days later, Shawn's present came in. Shawn was sitting on the balcony playing guitar. I opened the box and smiled at the present. I then went out to the balcony while attempting to hide the present behind my back.
"Shawn?" I asked. He turned around and smiled at me.
"Hey baby. What do you have there?" He asked.
"I know that you said that you don't need presents from to be happy, but I wanted to get you this. It makes me think of you and I hope that you think of me whenever you look at it." I said and then handed him the gift. He smiled.
"Oh honey, I love it. Oh my gosh. Of course I'm going to think of you when I look at it. Thank you baby." He said as he smiled at me. I gave him a kiss.
"You're welcome. I love you." I said as I sat next to him.
"I love you too." He said as he smiled at the gift.
"Where are you going to put it?" I asked. He thought for a moment and then looked at me with a smile.
"Right about the bed." He said. I smiled.
"Really?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah. Let's go hang it up right now." He said.
"Okay." I said. We went in his bedroom and he hung it up.
"How does it look darling?" Shawn asked as he stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I leaned back against him.
"I love it there. I'm so glad that you like it." I said. He began to sway us from side to side.
"I don't just like it honey, I love it." He said. I smiled.
"Happy seven month anniversary." I said.
"Happy seven month anniversary." He said. I love Shawn so much and I'm always safe with him.
