Jacob’s POV
“Jacob can we go to the mall?” Shawn asked, “I’m feeling much better.”
Shawn was sitting on the table, his cold has gone down because of how fast we reacted to it, but his symptoms are still there. I’m currently sitting across from him on my laptop scrolling through Twitter, I’m on there often. Shawn hasn’t been on twitter for awhile, so I’m still pretty sure he hasn’t seen the photos but maybe it’s better if he doesn’t know.
“I’m broke right now Shawn. I haven’t been to work in awhile.” I told him.
“I have money, I could pay for you.” Shawn offered and I looked up at him, and rolled my eyes, “hey that’s mean.”
“I’m not gonna have you pay for everything, so no mall.” I said.
“How about a date 1.5 now you can’t say no.” Shawn said getting out from his seat and going behind me, wrapping his arms around me, “you know you want to go. You’re driving me everywhere so basically we’re even if I pay.”
“I don’t know Shawn, I don’t want you to spend money on me.” I spoke, resting my head on him.
“You do know what I do for a living?” Shawn asked, “Money isn’t an issue for me.”
“Yeah, I went to your concert I know what you do,” I answered smiling, “but I don’t want you to think that I’m using you for your money.”
“I know when people want me for my money, you don’t because you’ve letting me stay in your house for the week.” Shawn said laughing, and I just shook my head.
“So my acting has paid off!” I exclaimed, laughing earning more laughs from Shawn.
“Shut up and let’s go.”

Shawn and I were currently on our way to the mall and I thought we were just hanging out as friends, but Shawn was actually being serious about the whole ‘date 1.5’ because he wants to be a gentleman, but it’s not office date worthy.
“Shawn, can I ask you something?” I asked as I reached a stoplight.
“You just did.” Shawn answered, looking over at me with a smile.
“I will push you out of this car I swear to god.”
“Okay, okay, what’s up?” Shawn asked.
“So you do know you performed here not to long ago?” I started.
“Yes.”
“And you do know that concert was sold out?” I continued.
“Really? I do now.” Shawn, a wider smiler on his face.
“And you do realize that fans will probably be at the mall?” I asked.
“Yessir.” He answered.
“So you do know they will see us on our date 1.5 right?” I finally asked.
“Umm, I do now.” He answered, now realizing what I was leading to.
“Just thought you should know.” I said as I continued to drive.
I took one hand off the wheel and put it to the side, and Shawn took the opportunity to intertwine our fingers.
“Don’t worry Jacob, I’ll figure it out as we go. We’ll just say you’re my friend, boom problem solved.” Shawn answered, a wide smile on his face as he held my hand.
“What if you get mobbed, and then they take you away. You’re my Shawnie.” I said as I lifted our hands up, “see, our hands are connected so you’re basically my dog.”
“I hope you like attention?” Shawn asked, hopeful and I just shook my head.
“I avoid that as much as I can.” I answered truthfully. Now, it was Shawn who lifted our hands, but brought it to his face and kissed my knuckle.
“I’ll keep you safe don’t worry, I’ll make sure nothing hurts you.” Shawn explained looking over at me and I just smiled.
“You make me sound like I’m a baby.” I said as I drove around the parking lot.
“You are my baby.” Shawn said kissing my knuckle again, but I pulled my hand away.
“I’m throwing you out for trying too hard, but you’re lucky we’re already at the mall.” I spoke which caused him to laugh.
Once we were parked, we both got out of the car and made our way to the mall. He grabbed my hand once again and we walked together. Once I started to see more people, I remembered that no one knows that me and him have a thing going, well maybe other than fans who look at the photos, and I pulled my hand away.
“Why’d you do that?” Shawn asked, looking over at me trying to grab my hand again but I kept it away.
“Your fans could be here Shawn, they don’t know you’re gay.” I answered.
“I’m not gay though.” He said and I stopped walking and looked at him confused. “I mean, you could say I’m gay, but I like you, and girls too, I’m not just shooting for one gender here.”
I shook my head, releasing a sigh of relief. I did not want what the girls said earlier to be true.
“So, where to first?”

Shawn and I got walked out of the store, I haven’t bought anything yet, mainly because he finds something or I find something that I like, I look at the price tag and put it back.
“Shawn oh my god!” A girl said as he ran towards Shawn attacking him with a hug.
“Hi, nice to meet you!” Shawn answered hugging her back. I took the bags that Shawn was holding so he could talk to her, and I’ll gladly stay in the back to observe.
“Oh my god, I love you so much, I went to your concert and it was so good, you’re so good, I love you!” She said, pulling away from the hug starting to cry. I decided to not be silent, and help them.
“You want a photo with him? I can take it for you!” I offered, and she nodded her head rapidly.
“Could you? Thank you so much.” She said and handed me her phone.
“That’s Jacob, he’s basically my chauffeur while I’m on a break here.” Shawn explained.
“I’m Sarah, it’s nice to meet you!” Sarah said, and I smiled back.
“Nice to meet you too!”
Shawn wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and she wrapped an arm around his waist. I took a few photos and gave her phone back.
“Wait, can I take a selfie, with all of us in it?” She asked, and I looked at her confused.
“Why do you want me, I’m just Jacob, he’s Shawn Mendes.” I asked.
“Because you took the photo, and I want to post it on Twitter about how nice it was to meet both of you!” Sarah explained. I agreed to it and Shawn, Sarah, and I all took a selfie together.
“Thank you so much again, wait, what’s your Twitter? So I can tag you in it!” Sarah asked.
“Oh, it’s just jacobbrentwood.” I answered her.
“Okay, I’ll tag you, but I have to go! I have to pick up my sister from her dance class, but it was so nice meeting you both.” Sarah said, giving us both. We said our goodbyes and she left to get her sister and then Shawn and I continued with our date 1.5.
After around 10 minutes of walking around, I felt my phone buzz and I took it out to see that Sarah tweeted the photos and tagged both Shawn and I.
heyosarah: I just met @ shawnmendes and @ jacobbrentwood ! The kindest people you could meet! *two images attached*
I liked, and retweeted it, adding a reply to her as well.
jacobbrentwood: it was nice meeting you too! 🙂
Shawn saw what I was doing and liked the photo, my tweet, and replied to it as well.
shawnmendes: 🙂 x
You would think that would be the only notification I would get from the whole thing right? Wrong.
My phone started blowing up with notifications about people liking my tweet, retweeting it and following me. I started with a few hundred, and now after a few minutes, I got up to a few thousand.
“Shawn, your fans are crazy.” I said as I showed him my phone that kept going off with Twitter notifications.
“I know, I happen to be dating one.” He answered going to grab my hand, and this time I accepted it, forgetting that people don’t know about us.
“Dating? You didn’t even ask me yet.”
“That’s because it needs to be as perfect as you are.” Shawn spoke and I tore my hand away from his.
“Yeah, that just made me hate you even more.” I told him and he just laughed.
“You can’t hate me, you love me too much.”

The next few chapters won’t have much drama yet, but it’s coming you just wait. I have to find the place to put it in and then BAM. DRAMA. TEA WILL BE SPILT
I’m getting back into to whole updating thing, I don’t want to make a update schedule because I’m me and probably won’t keep up with it but we’ll see, I’ll stick to updating around once a week or whenever I finish a chapter.
This chapter was written the same day that chapter 29 was updated, I have a lot of extra time on plane rides so I’m writing while I still have the time to actually write, and not be lazy.
As always, your votes and comments are always appreciated!
Until next time, I still don’t have a sign off!
