12. Stressed

A/n: Explicit language in this one! Anyways, I hope that you guys enjoy this imagine! Okay, without further ado, let's begin, shall we?

I've been dating the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes for a little over three wonderful years now. He's currently in New York City, while I'm stuck at home in Massachusetts working on things for school. Due to the fact that the semester is coming to a close, I have two finals to get ready for - one of them being a take home - as well as an essay to write, and a presentation to perfect. I felt stressed beyond words.

As I sat there, I listened to Shawn's music. Don't Be A Fool started to play, and I listened to it. Why is Shawn with me? I don't understand. I'm nothing special, so why is it that he chose me? I looked at the promise ring that he gave me six months into our relationship as I pondered why he's with me. He could have any girl he wanted, but for some reason he chose me. I just don't get it. My phone rang, it was Shawn, so I answered.

"Hi handsome." I said.

"Hi gorgeous. You okay? You sound stressed." Shawn asked and said. I sighed.

"Can we FaceTime please?" I asked.

"Of course baby. Hold on." Shawn said.

"Okay." I said. We hung up and soon he FaceTimed me. I gave him the best smile I could when I saw his beyond handsome face pop up on my phone.

"Hey darling. What's going on? And don't tell me that nothing's going on because I know you. I can see the stress written all over your face and I can hear it in your voice. What's going on my love?" Shawn asked. I began to cry.

"I'm so fucking stressed out because of school. I have to get ready for that presentation that I have to do on Monday and I don't even know if I did it right or if it's going to be long enough. I've been working on this stupid fucking essay for about three hours. I have that take home final for history, but that's not due for a little over a week, and then I have that final on Friday. I'm so stressed out Shawn. Like, for this essay, I don't know what to write or what I should put in each paragraph. I don't know what to do." I said as I cried.

"First, I need you to take a deep breath in for me. Can you do that for me please?" Shawn asked.

"I feel like I can't stop crying. And, on top of all of this, the anniversary of my uncle's death is coming up and not only do I have classes that day, but you're not going to be home that day." I said.

"I know honey, and I'm sorry for that. What can I do to make you feel better?" Shawn asked. Fly home to me, hold me and tell me that everything will be okay and tell me why you chose me.

"I don't know." I lied as I shrugged. Shawn looked at me for a moment, and I knew that he could tell that I was lying. Shawn knows me better than anyone else does, and he knows my thought processes.

"Baby girl, I don't have to perform for the iHeart Radio thing until Monday. What if I flew home to you right now, stayed until Monday morning, flew back here to New York, and then after my performance, I would fly home?" Shawn asked. I sighed. That was what I wanted but I felt bad. I shrugged.

"I don't know. Do you have anything that you're supposed to do in between now and the performance?" I asked. Shawn shook his head.

"Nope. Just have to make sure that my girl is okay. I'll get a private jet since it's faster, and I'll be home as soon as I can." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay. Do you want me to pick you up from the airport?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No baby. I'll call your brother. You just stay home and take a break from the essay and all of your homework. I'll be home soon darling." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay. I love you Shawn. Thank you so much for this." I said. Shawn smiled at me and just the mere sight alone gave me butterflies.

"I love you too Y/n. You're welcome." He said. We hung up and I took a break from homework. A little bit later, since the flight wasn't that long, I heard the front door open and went running out of the room and down the stairs to greet him. He opened his arms up and I jumped into them. My legs wrapped around his waist and my arms went around his shoulders as his hands went underneath my bum to hold me securely.

"You're finally home." I said. We hadn't seen each other in person since February.

"I am." He said. Tears fell from my eyes, but they were happy tears this time.

"This is what I've needed. I've needed to be in your arms." I said as Shawn sat me down. He kissed my cheek.

"I know baby. I'm just going to bring my luggage in and then we'll spend time together, okay darling?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Okay. I'll be up in your office." I said and Shawn nodded.

"Okay." He said. I went upstairs and sat down in front of my laptop. I wanted to get Shawn's opinion on my essay so far. I sat back and waited for him. He soon came into the room and I stood up to hug him again.

"Thank you for flying home to me." I said. Shawn kissed my cheek.

"Of course. Anything for my girl. Let's sit down." He said. I nodded.

"Would you mind looking at my essay? I just want to get your opinion on it." I asked and said. Shawn nodded as he smiled.

"That's fine baby. Before we do that, honey, I know you better than anyone else in this whole world does, right?" He asked. I nodded.

"Right." I said.

"So I can tell that something else is going on besides school stuff and your uncle. What is it babe?" Shawn asked. I sighed and shook my head.

"No, I'm fine." I said.

"Your lips just twitched which means that you're lying. What is it baby girl? You know that you can tell me anything, right?" Shawn asked as he leaned forward. I nodded.

"Yeah, I know that." I said. Shawn put his hand to my cheek and rubbed it with his thumb. I closed my eyes and relaxed into his soothing touch. It was the same touch that I had missed so much.

"Then tell me what's going on inside that beautiful head of yours. Please?" He asked, and when I opened my eyes, I could tell that he was concerned.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to worry you, I just, ugh." I said, frustrated because I wasn't able to find the right words.

"It's okay darling, take your time." Shawn said, his voice gentle and soothing. I held his hand in mind and squeezed a little. He squeezed back.

"Why are you with me?" I asked. His eyes widened.

"What? Where is this coming from honey?" Shawn asked.

"I was listening to Don't Be A Fool and I just don't get it. You could be with any girl you wanted, but you chose me. Why?" I asked.

"Close your eyes for a second babe." Shawn said. I nodded and closed my eyes.

"Okay." I said. I then heard him open up part of his desk that he needs a key to get into. He did something and then shut the drawer and locked it again.

"Okay, open your eyes babe." Shawn said. I turned to him and he motioned for me to stand up.

"What is it?" I asked. Shawn smiled at me and took my hands in his. As our skin made contact, I felt electricity spark through me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time. Something in me told me that by the way that he was looking at me with such love in his eyes, something wonderful and magical was about to happen. He rubbed the tops of my hands as he smiled at me.

"Y/n, my sweet girl, I love you. You're my favorite person in the whole world and you're my best friend. You know me better than anyone else does, and I know you better than anyone else does. You give me such amazing and insane feelings that I love and I never want to stop getting them. You're the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen and no one and nothing gets better than you. You have the kindest heart and soul and I love everything about you. Everything. You're my soulmate and my everything. I already wake up and choose you over and over again, but I want to continue to do that. So," Shawn said as he got a little box out of his back pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring as he got down on one knee.

"Oh my gosh." I said as tears formed in my eyes.

"Will you marry me?" Shawn asked. I nodded as I cried happy tears.

"Yes! Of course I'll marry you Shawn!" I said. Shawn's smile widened and he took off my promise ring and put on the engagement ring. He then stood up, held my face gently, and kissed me. 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. Shawn pulled away from the kiss but rested his forehead against mine.

"Now do you understand why I chose you? I could have any girl that I want, but you're the only girl that I want." Shawn said. I smiled and put my lips on his again.

"Oh my gosh Shawn, we're engaged!" I said when I pulled away. Shawn chuckled and nodded as he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He buried his face in my neck and I ran my fingers through his hair.

"We are baby girl. Haven't I been telling you that I'm going to wife you up one of these days?" Shawn asked as he picked his head up and smiled at me. I nodded.

"Yeah. Oh honey, I can't wait to be Mrs. Mendes." I said. Shawn's eyes widened.

"You want to take my last name?" He asked. I nodded.

"Well of course I do. I just love you so much and I want to be Mrs. Y/n Mendes, but if you don't want me to -" I started.

"No, oh my gosh babe, take my last name, but just know that you're going to have it for the rest of your life." Shawn said and we smiled at each other before hugging.

"I love you so much Shawn." I said.

"I love you so much too Y/n. We should probably tell our families and friends." Shawn said. I nodded.

"Okay." I said. I called my family and told them, and then we FaceTimed Shawn's family as we sat on the couch in his office. I hid my ring so they couldn't see it yet.

"Hello darlings. How are you guys?" Karen asked. We smiled.

"We're good. How are you?" Shawn asked.

"We're good too. Wait, Shawn, aren't you supposed to be in New York?" Manny asked. Shawn nodded.

"Yes. Well, I had nothing to do there in between now and the thirteenth, and Y/n called me and she was struggling, so I decided to fly home and take care of my girl for a few days." Shawn said. His family nodded.

"Is everything okay Y/n?" Karen asked.

"Just stressed out with school and, well, I guess that I was feeling a bit insecure." I said.

"Yeah, so I got home and when she finally told me that she was feeling insecure, well, I told her how much I love her and things like that, and now she has a new accessory on her finger because I asked her to marry me and she said yes." Shawn said with a smile. Karen screamed as Manny and Aaliyah got a bit emotional.

"Congratulations!" They said and we thanked them. We talked for a bit longer and then hung up. We then called and texted our friends to tell them.

"How are we going to announce it?" I asked. Shawn thought for a moment.

"I have an idea." Shawn said with a smile. I smiled back.

"What is it?" I asked. He told me and we took the pictures. He posted first. He took a picture of him holding my hand with the engagement ring. I read the caption.

"Today I asked my sweet girl to marry me and be mine forever and she said yes! I love you so much Y/n, and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together." Shawn captioned it. I smiled and liked the photo. I then posted a picture of my hand on Shawn's chest as he smiled. The picture showed off my engagement ring perfectly and I loved it.

"Forever with you is going to be the sweetest. I love you Shawn Peter Raul Mendes. #ISaidYES!" I wrote. Shawn smiled.

"Perfect caption babe." Shawn said and I smiled.

"Thank you honey. Do you want to take a look at my essay now?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Sure. Mind if I sit there?" Shawn asked as he pointed at the chair that I had been sitting in to work on my essay. I shook my head.

"No, go ahead handsome." I said. Shawn kissed my cheek, sat down, and I sat down in the chair next to the desk. Shawn gave me a funny look before motioning for me to come over to him.

"What are you doing babe? Come sit on my lap." He asked and said.

"You want my bony ass on your lap?" I asked. He laughed and nodded.

"Yes. We're engaged now, which means that we're going to get married, so I will always want your bony ass on my lap. I fucking love your butt." Shawn said. I blushed and sat on his lap.

"Oh my gosh." I said.

"Well it's the truth." Shawn said and I laughed. Shawn began to read my essay as he held me in his lap. I kissed the side of his head.

"Mine forever." I said. Shawn looked at me with a smile and nodded before looking at my essay again. He then looked at me.

"It looks really good babe. I'm proud of you." He said. I smiled.

"Thank you Shawny. I love it when you're proud of me." I said.

"I know that you love it when I'm proud of you, but I hope that you're proud of yourself too." Shawn said. I nodded.

"I am proud of myself. I was majorly stressing out about everything, but I worked on the presentation, I did an online quiz for history and got a good grade, just five points shy of a one hundred, and I got a lot done for English." I said. Shawn smiled and nodded.

"Well, my love, how about you stop for the day and then work more on it tomorrow?" Shawn asked. I looked at my essay.

"I don't know..." I said.

"Baby, I know that you're a hard worker and that you like to get things done, but you already got a shit load done today. Come on, let's go celebrate our engagement." Shawn said. I looked at the laptop and before I could even realize what was going on, Shawn was closing tabs and shutting down my laptop.

"Hey!" I protested. Shawn chuckled and turned to me.

"Future Mrs. Mendes, let's get you to relax." Shawn said. I sighed.

"Okay." I said and got off of his lap. He took my hand and led me to the bedroom.

"Let's take a nice, warm, bath. Does that sound good?" Shawn asked. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah." I said. Shawn grabbed some towels as I grabbed us some clothes.

"What do you think you're doing?" Shawn asked as I grabbed some shorts out of the drawer.

"Grabbing clothes for after the bath." I said. Shawn walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me before whispering in my ear.

"How about tonight I wear shorts and no shirt, and you just wear one of my shirts and underwear?" Shawn said. His hot breath on my ear sent shivers down my spine and he then kissed the shell of my ear.

"Okay." I said before putting the shorts away. Shawn smiled and then we both stripped down.

"Fuck." Shawn said as he eyed me up and down. I blushed.

"Come on, let's get in the bathtub." I said. Shawn had already filled it with water that was at the right temperature. He nodded and we got in on opposite sides. Shawn shook his head.

"Nope, no way. I want your hot body over here." Shawn said as he made a come hither motion with his fingers. I giggled and moved so my back was up against my chest.

"Is this better my sexy man?" I asked. Shawn kissed my cheek as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Yup. I love you." He said.

"I love you too. Can you believe it? We're going to get married." I said. Shawn chuckled.

"I know baby. I get to marry the most amazing woman in the world." Shawn said and I blushed.

"Well I get to marry the most amazing man in the world." I said. Shawn kissed the shell of my ear.

"Lean forward a little darling. Let me give you a massage." Shawn said. I smiled and did as told.

"Okay baby boy." I said. Shawn began to give me one his amazing massages and I couldn't help but hum in contentment.

"Does this feel good babe?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yes, thank you for this. I needed it." I said.

"Considering the fact that you have a lot of tension in your shoulders, yeah you did need this. We should do massages more often so you won't have as much tension. How does that sound babe?" Shawn asked.

"Good. I really appreciate this and everything that you do for me." I said. Shawn leaned forward and placed a kiss on my bare shoulder before gently pulling me back down with him so my back was against his chest again. He kept his arms wrapped around me to keep me close to him.

"Well I really appreciate everything that you do for me too." Shawn said. Insecurity hit me like a ton of bricks.

"I feel like I don't do enough for you." I mumbled, hoping that he wouldn't hear me.

"What baby?" He asked. I shook my head as I let my hands rub his legs.

"It's nothing honey. Don't worry about it." I said.

"I'm your fiancé, of course I'm going to worry about it. What did you say babe?" Shawn asked. I sighed and closed my eyes as I relaxed further into his touch.

"I feel like I don't do enough for you." I said.

"What are you talking about babe?" He asked.

"You like to give me massages, and whenever you come home from tour you have a presents for me from each city. You spoil the shit out of me with all these different gifts and you take me out for date night all the time when you're home. Plus, on top of all of that, you shower me with your love and affection. What the hell do I do? I don't even go to fucking award shows with you because of school. I'm sorry." I said as tears fell onto my cheeks. I brought my knees up to my chest. I just felt so insecure in every way.

"Oh baby, why didn't you tell me that you've been feeling this way?" Shawn asked as he rested his head against mine.

"I don't know." I said as I shrugged.

"Well my darling girl, let me tell you what you do, okay?" He asked. I nodded.

"Okay." I said as I wiped tears away.

"Whenever I get home, you jump into my arms to shower me with kisses and hugs. You've gotten me guitars before, you've gotten me watches before. You've surprised me by framing pictures of us and hanging them up in our bedroom and giving them to me to keep with me on tour. You let me rest my head in your lap or on your chest so you can run your fingers through my hair. You let me talk to you whenever I'm feeling stressed or upset or anything, and you always know the perfect thing to say to make me feel better. You always remind me that you love me and why you love me. You lavish your love and affection for me and you make me the happiest man alive. You do more than enough for me babe. I love you." Shawn said. I smiled as my tears stopped.

"I love you too. Should we get out of the tub and pop some champagne?" I asked.

"Sure baby." Shawn said. We got out of the tub, dried off, and he got into his Calvin Klein boxers and shorts as I put on underwear and one of his shirts which was like a dress on me.

"Come here baby boy." I said before we headed out of the bathroom. Shawn smiled at me as I cupped the back of his neck and pulled him for a sweet and loving kiss. The kiss went on for a little bit, but it wasn't like a makeout session. It was just a long and loving kiss. Soon, Shawn and I pulled away. He put his hand to my cheek and rubbed it with his thumb.

"I love you sweetheart." He said.

"I love you too. I'm always going to love you. My love for you is never going to stop honey, and that's a promise." I said. Shawn's smile widened.

"I feel the same way about you. Come on, let's go pop some champagne." He said. We went downstairs and got out some champagne glasses.

"When was the last time we even used these or had champagne?" I asked as Shawn poured the champagne into the glasses after we sat down at the kitchen table. He chuckled.

"I don't know. It's only for special occasions." Shawn said. I smiled and nodded.

"Well I think that this would be considered a special occasion." I said. Shawn nodded.

"A very special one." He said. I raised my glass a little bit and he smiled and did the same thing.

"Here's to us and our love for each other." I said. Shawn smiled.

"And here's to spending the rest of our lives together." Shawn said. My smile widened and I nodded before we clinked our glasses together and took sips of our champagne. I love Shawn so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
