❝What the—I was supposed to go up there with him!❞
❝It should have been me!❞
❝I blame Donald Trump for this.❞
❝I blame the author of this story.❞
[ I'm already zayn-ing away, bye! Just kidding. Leila jogs up to the stage on a small flight of stairs and stands there, shook to the core and unknowing. She's never quite the fan of Shawn Mendes. ]
[ She looks to the crowd just to receive death glare from the fangirls. Trevor's the only one who gives her a sympathetic pout. The look on Miss Sarah's face? It says, ❝You're so getting fired, Leila.❞ ]
❝So, what's your name?❞
[ One of the crews rushes to give her a microphone. ]
❝L-leila Gonzalez.❞
❝Beautiful.❞
[ Leila swears she heard some girl boo-ing her from the crowd but, heck, this is her spotlight and she's going to live it. Even if it's an awkward one. ]
❝So, I want you to sing Stitches with me—you know the song, right?❞
❝Y-y-yeah . . . ?❞
❝Okay, hit it!❞
[ The music starts again and Shawn sings the final chorus of the song. He signals Leila with a wink to follow along. ]
❝And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches . . . ❞
[ When Leila sings, Shawn drops his jaw and his eyes widen. He stops singing and lets her take over his spotlight. She's getting more comfortable, the mellifluous tone of her voice flowing out the lyrics in a smooth manner, just like a river of poetry. ]
[ After the song ends, there's a sudden standing ovation from the crowd. Leila frowns. Aren't they the ones giving her death glares earlier? ]
❝Wow, I've never heard someone sing like that.❞ He chuckles.
❝Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Leila!❞
❝Thank you so much, Shawn.❞
❝Before you go back, I have a surprise for you.❞
[ Surprise? Leila thinks. For an average girl like her who doesn't even have a slight interest in him besides his hot ass looks? ]
❝S-surprise?❞
[ Shawn smiles, leaning closer to her before uniting his lips with hers. ]
❝Your lips taste like cherry, just so you know.❞
[ What the hell just happened? Shawn Mendes himself has just kissed her in the lips. The fangirls literally go bonkers witnessing the kiss. She bows her head down as she goes back to her seat to avoid their death glares. ]
[ Leila is certain it's just a publicity stunt but the moment Trevor's face materializes in her sight, she sees nothing but pure outrage. ]
