SIXTEEN

"no that needs to be center with the dip"

Stella flips on Shawn when he places the chips in front of the dip and I laugh at how crazy she gets when planning.

I walk to my room seeing Aaliyah add one last touch to her makeup.

"okay now your mom text me and said no drinking, but if you accidentally still a sip from my cup I won't tell"

we both smile and she stands up fixing her outfit which she's beautiful in. I see that she had a pair of gold hoops so I ran to my jewelry grabbing a necklace. it was a gold chain with a small gold circle. it was really simple but it always pulls everything together. she moves her hair and lets me put it around her neck. She smiles and holds it then hugs me.

"You're the best big sister I never had"

I laugh and pull her back into another hug before she runs out to Shawn calling her.

I go through my makeup bag and find the loose powder fixing any shine on my face before I grab my heels and put them on.

"Y/n people are already arriving, hurry up" she peeks her head through the door looking worried then rushes out to greet the next person to walk through the door.

I hurry to fix my dress which was a simple red dress with one shoulder and slit on my right leg.

With my heart beating so fast, once I open my door I am startled by the somewhat loud music I didn't even know was playing in the beginning and it was something I have never heard before.

I walk around a few people and make my way to the kitchen corner picking a few grapes from the bowl nearby. There were so many unfamiliar faces and only a few I could pick out. I see Margot and Charles talking to another older couple by the tv, Aaliyah showing two other younger girls the necklace I gave her, Stella was by a few of her other bridesmaids one being angelica who she had met in college, and Shawn was walking near the kitchen with a much older man who was in a grey suit and bald.

While he grabs a cup filled with wine off the counter he looks up and notices me stuffing my face with the grapes. He gestures over the man and they both come and stand beside me.

"David this is y/n, she the one the parties for!"
He smiles and reaches out his hand for me to shake

"Congratulations on being signed, it's a nice deal to work with Maggie but just know she can be a bit tough" I was surprised by his English accent

"Have you worked with Maggie before?" I take a sip from the cup Shawn had brought me over

"Maggie is actually Davids's wife" I choke a bit on my drink but cover it up with a cough. They both laugh a bit and continue to take a sip from their drinks.

"Don't worry she told me how incredible your story was coming along, " David tilts his head back at Shawn then smiles

"Has Shawn ever told you about the story he sent to her?"

"David don't" Shawn covers his face with his free hand but David continues

"Shawn wanted to write a children's story called me and my pussy, " Shawn cuts him off being defensive.

"It was supposed to be a little girl going on wild adventures with her cat but I felt like calling it "me and my cat" was too boring" I burst into laughter with David holding onto his shoulder for support.

"When did it finally dawn on you and how bad that sounded" he shrubs his shoulders and leans back onto the counter till David and I come to a stop.

We talked a bit more and I learned that the song playing earlier was Shawn's from his upcoming album.

I start to walk into the living room while Stella stood on top of the table hitting a glass cup with a knife.
