Fame | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 26; Sign of the Times & Merch

"What a pleasure to see you, Mendes," I grinned, innocently.

"Where did you put my shirts? I know you did something who else would replace all my shirts with your merch?" He said as he placed all the shirts on my bed.

I closed the door and tried to hide my smile as he looked through my room, hoping to find any of his clothes.

"C'mon where did you hide them? I need something to go in stage with."

"Well you have a few options right here," I told him as I presented him my merch. "Here we have my amazing album cover and right here we have an exclusive shirt of my new single 'NEON' with me looking amazing on it. Also right here we have another shirt with my beautiful face on it," I let out a chuckle as Shawn just stared at me without changing his facial expression.

"C'mon I'm sure this would look good on you," I said and held one of the t-shirts in front of his chest. "Fine but only because I can't find anything right now and the shirt I have on now isn't clean," he grumbled, making me grin in victory.

Without warning he pulled off his shirt, giving me a heart attack that send me straight into heaven. I coughed awkwardly as I tried to look away from his beauty but it wasn't as easy as you would think.

I handed him the shirt and he pulled it on, putting me out of my misery.

"You look very handsome," I smirked, trying not to fangirl after Shawn fucking Mendes changing his shirt in front of me and is now wearing a shirt with my name and face on.

"C'mon now, we're leaving."

I nodded and quickly grabbed my things before following him out of my room. He quickly went into his own room and came back with his backpack on his back.

We got into the elevator in silence and soon exited the hotel with the other guys. "Wow Shawn, that shirt looks good on you," Jake complimented, giving me a high five in secret. Shawn cracked a smile as he went to the small group of fans and did pictures with them.

We all got into the tour bus relaxing a little as we drove half an hour to the arena. The guys played video games while Theo tried showing me how to play the violin. It sounded horrible but I had fun to at least try to get a tone right.

-

"We killed that!" Theo exclaimed as we went to my dressing room after I had done my show.

"I had tears in my eyes as we played 'Breaking Free' from High School Musical. Literally everyone screamed out the lyrics and with the violin I just couldn't hold it in," I told Theo as we sat down on my couch.

I was always so pumped after my shows especially today as the generator landed on a song from High School Musical which everyone knew. The sound crew had to make Theo's violin a bit louder so you could still hear it.

It was amazing.

"Let's make a cover for my Instagram," Theo suggested, making em agree. "What song?" I asked before taking a sip out of my water bottle.

"I just learned 'Sign of the Times'."

Oh great.

I agreed just when Andre came in, asking what we were doing. "You can be the camera man," I grinned and handed him Theo's phone. Before we started we discussed which part and practiced a little.

I knew all the lyrics since I had Harry's song in my setlist and performed it at every show.

Andre gave us the sign and Theo started playing before I literally screamed out the high notes. We watched the finished video a couple of times, deciding if it was good enough and it was so we posted it on Theo's Instagram.

A lot of my fans followed Theo so they would find it sooner or later.

Andrew knocked on my dressing room again like at every show and asked if we wanted to watch Shawn. We all followed him and I looked through my Twitter, already spotting fans freaking out about Shawn's shirt he was wearing at the meet & greet and at Q&A.

I laughed before we all settled in our area to watch Shawn perform.

We were right on time as the lights turned off and thousands of screams filled the arena.

I looked through my Twitter and noticed a lot of notifications from fans. First of all, everyone was talking about Shawn's shirt and there was a video from today's Q&A were someone asked him why he was wearing my merch. All he answered was that it was my revenge for him.

Secondly, I noticed that Harry had shared Theo's and my cover of his song on Twitter. He doesn't post much so it was surprising to see him Tweet the video with the caption 'Amazing. I'm honored. H'

I closed my phone and enjoyed the rest of the show. After Shawn's last song we were already on our way backstage as I noticed Shawn running the wrong way, making me laugh. He turned and run in the other direction before getting off stage.

The rest of us rushed backstage and quickly got into the bus before driving off to Amsterdam.

We would arrive around midnight so we had about two hours to kill.

"So last time I said Chupa Chups. What should I say now?" I whispered to Theo, who sat next to me. "Just let them offer something," Theo laughed as he shook his head at me.

I cut out a part of the picture I just took of Shawn and posted it saying 'What do you guys have to offer?' I added a few laugh emojis and posted it, waiting for someone to offer something so I could respond.

'Loads of Lollypops'

'ANYTHING YOU WANT'

'Snickers?'

'COOKIES >Pic<'

'As many Kit Kat as you want'

I responded to the person who send me a picture of a package of Milka Cookies. I tasted Milka chocolate in Germany and I loved it so I'm in for that.

'@/JamilaCarver: @/IlluminateJamila I'm in!'

This poor girls notification were blowing up right now so I put them all out of their misery and posted the picture with the caption 'Excited for the Cookies ;)'.

"Are you using me to get candy?" I heard Shawn's voice asking from the couch, opposite of mine. I looked up with a smile, "Andre & Lauren are very strict when it's about Candy so yea, Sorry but I always share," I reasoned, making him scoff.

"Sure you do."

I chuckled and threw a pillow at him. "You did not just-"

I cut him off by throwing another one straight in his face. He looked shocked before he recovered saying, "run."

And with that I bolted wherever my feet were taking me in this not so big bus with limited options to hide so I ended up screaming my lungs out before locking myself in the bath which was my only option to escape him. My heart was pounding as he banged at the door, "you'll have to come out eventually and I'll be right here."

"Please don't take all my Chupa Chups!" I yelled in fear.

I heard footsteps but they got quieter, making my widen my eyes. Why did I say that in the first place?

I unlocked the door and found Shawn laying on the floor taking all my Chupa Chups from my bunk. "NO!" I screamed and lunged forwards crashing right on top of him, making both of us laugh as I tried to get back my precious lollypops I got from amazing fans.

I felt like I was on cloud nine when he rolled us over with him on top now. I froze right then and there as he leaned down, making my heart pound louder than an entire arena screaming out Shawn's lyrics as he sang.
