It was only about 2 hours to get back from New York to land in the Toronto airport. As soon as I got on the plane, I texted Daniel which airport we were going to be at since he wanted to be the first one to welcome me back.

                          

As Shawn and I walked towards the exit of the airport I saw him. I saw my baby, Daniel. I felt my heart flutter as I saw him looking through the crowd for me.
                          
"Danny!" I yelled, catching his attention.
"Leila!" He yelled back as soon as he saw me. I then watched him as he started running towards me. Excitedly I started running towards him too. My bag felt like a handicap so I dropped it and ran faster towards him.

                          

Daniel stopped as soon as we were just a few feet away and held open his arms. I quickly ran into them and wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and quickly pulled him down to my height, pressing my lips against his.

                          

"Oh my God, I missed you so much!" I exclaimed after I pulled my lips away from his.
"I know, baby. I know. Fuck I missed you so much." He growled as he reached behind me and put a hand on my butt. He squeezed it before burying his face in my neck. His sudden actions made me yelp in surprise but I immediately laughed it off.

                          

"Babe! Please, we're in public, and Shawn is-"
"Right here with your bag." I head a familiar voice cut in. I gasped and jumped out of Daniels grip. I felt my cheeks burn as I looked up at Shawn. He just raised a single brow at me before holding out my bag to me.

                          

"Ms. Harris not to be a spoilsport but we are here on business." Shawn reminded me as I grabbed my bag from him.
"Right. Sorry, Mr. Mendes." I apologized as I guiltily looked down at my feet.
"Oh, c'mon man, you steal my girl for a few weeks and we can't have a little fun?" Daniel chuckled. Shawn just huffed a laugh in return before looking Daniel straight in the eyes. I guess I haven't noticed before but Shawn and Danny are the exact same height. Daniels 6'2 which solves my question as to how exactly tall Shawn is.

                          

"You must be Daniel. I've heard Ms. Harris talk about you quite a lot, finally nice to meet you, man." Shawn said holding out a hand, triggering Daniels super sweet and friendly personality to come out.
                          
"Wow, yeah, hi. You're Shawn Mendes, my baby sister absolutely adores you, and obviously, you got a past with my Leila." Daniel smiled as he took Shawn's hand in his own and shook it firmly.
"Really? That's awesome, how old is your sister?" Shawn asks as he takes his hand back and slips them in his pockets.
"Oh, she just turned 20." Daniel chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Oh, aha I get it. She must be just like 2 or 3 years younger than you but she's still just a baby to you, same with me man I can never see my little sister as an actual adult." Shawn laughed.
"Ah, no I'm uh... I just turned 27." Daniel smiled as he explained. 
"Oh! Wow! Man, that's... you don't even look it, you look so young!" Shawn said with a shocked expression on his face before looking at me, still shocked.
                          
"You're boyfriends 27 and looks about 20, Ms. Harris!" Shawn exclaimed to me.
"Y-Yeah he gets that a lot." I nervously laughed as I crossed my arms over my chest feeling kind of embarrassed. I usually brush this stuff off since we get this a lot but somehow feeling judged by Shawn makes me feel... ashamed?

                          

"Look, I know you're not surprised about how young I look, which by the way thanks, but I know it's because you're surprised by Leila dating someone 8 years older than her," Daniel said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder holding me close.

                          

"Oh... it's that obvious huh?" Shawn asks still being awkward.
"It's truly the first things we always get when people find out our age gap." Daniel shrugged.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to imply or offend you guys-"
"Nah we just believe Leila's mature enough for her age, and 8 years? C'mon Beyonce and Jay-Z are 12 years apart, is it really that crazy?" Daniel laughed. Making me smile awkwardly at Shawn, who just forced out an uncomfortable laugh.
