barely any time here and i already know i never want to leave. maybe that has something to do with being so close to you or maybe it's the view of the water - the world may never know the truth. you know what this is also doing? giving me some ideas of where we can go on our just us vacation. not that i'm looking to rush the next couple of days. what do you want to do first? and i'm 100% putting this on you since it's been impossible for me to ever narrow ideas how. @shawnofinfamy

[shawnofinfamy]

i know i never want to leave either, and i can tell you right now that mine is because i'm getting to be so close to you in paradise, i can never get enough of that. and yes, it's giving me some ideas too and i really think our next vacation needs to be somewhere warm and just as gorgeous as this. what do you think? i'm still set on something more private, though, because i really want us to be left alone while we're there. i love that you're putting things on me to decide what to do because you can't ever pick what you want to do. but honestly, right now i just want to lie on the beach with you and get some sun and have some drinks. i'm sure i'll pick something else for us to do, and i know i want to have a date night one night too, because we've not had a date in a while. but other than that, just being with you is all i care about.

[bensonofinfamy]

since we're both fresh from tour, i'm not even going to suggest any kind of a wild activity to do. you know what sounds real good now? laying on the beach with a cold drink and not thinking about anything ever. i swear my mind is still buzzing from all the travel and all the sleepless nights and my brain needs this reset so bad. what are you most looking forward to doing here? / @shawnofinfamy

[shawnofinfamy]

thank god you're not suggesting anything wild because i don't know if i have the energy, man. i like the way you think, and honestly i'll never turn down lying on the beach with a cold drink, and i love not thinking about anything ever. it's been hard having my mind shut down too after tour, so i get it. and man, it's going to sound cheesy as hell, but just spending time with my boyfriend. he's been filming, and while i've been with him, it's hard to really do anything, so that's what i'm looking forward, just uninterrupted time with him. what about you? what are you looking forward to doing here the most?

[zmclk]

i heard you finished up touring not too long ago and i should feel some type of way since you did something with niall but really you picked the best of the lot of us. got to be nice coming to somewhere like this after the run of shows though. you did the world thing or just the states and canada? @shawnofinfamy

[shawnofinfamy]

i did finish up tour and honestly, i wish i could have picked you all to come up on stage with me, do you know how epic that would have been? it would have been the talk of the town! and it's been real nice so far. i'm glad for the vacation, and honestly, just getting to have some time where i can finally see some friends, you know? and yeah, i did the world thing, it was a lot. though you know how it goes, wouldn't change it for anything. you going out on tour anytime soon, man?

@shawnofinfamy

just a little something to say happy halloween. i know i’ll be hitting up the discounted candy tomorrow but you deserved something a little fancier than that. happy halloween! best costume i get to wear everyday is your boyfriend.

[cstkes]

you say stop but you and i both know that’s only going to get me doing it more. i’m glad it makes you feel good. that’s what i’m in the business of always. you say that now but i'm still holding out hope for myself. that's going to be an excuse for me to get even more confident, you know? plus maybe i'm thinking it might be a little distraction, too, which will help my cause. oh you stop that right now. i think everyone knows that crown belongs to you but if you want to snap off a little piece 'mean girls' style so we can settle things, i'll take it. the lucky feeling only grows by the day, too. guess you can officially start that whole 'glued to me' thing. not complaining about that in the slightest bit. i'm proud of you, you know? you put on an amazing tour and the last show was no different. i'm so glad i was able to see you in person, too. even more glad that i didn't accidentally mess up the surprise. i'm happy that you're happy, too. that's all i ever want to see happen so i'm going to do the most to make sure it stays that way now post-tour, too. we've got some good things to look forward to soon, too. plus i know filming's coming to an end and once that happens, maybe we could go somewhere - just us. anywhere you want.

[shawnofinfamy]

maybe that's why i tell you to stop? because secretly i want you to do it more, because i soak that up. but you always make me feel good, so no shock there. glad you're in the business of making me feel good, and i'm in the business of making you feel good too, so i hope i'm always doing that. i love that i gave you an excuse to get more confident, and hey, the more confident you get the sexier i'm going to find you. oh yeah, when you're being sexy, i'm very much distracted. nope, i'm not going to stop it, because everyone knows you're the hottest and that i have the hottest boyfriend. the lucky feeling grows by the day for me too, and i'm so happy to be glued to you right now, you know that right? there you go making me emotional again, but it means the whole world to me that you're proud of me, chase. i'm so glad that you were there for the last show, can't put into words how happy that made me. the surprise was so so good, and seeing you in the crowd was perfect. i might have been singing a couple of those songs for you, just so you know. you make me the happiest i've been in the longest time, so i don't see myself not being happy anytime soon, and i hope i keep making you happy too. it still feels odd to be out of tour now, but i'm so happy to be with you that it doesn't matter. and i'm glad we've got things to look forward to soon, and i can't wait for them. plus, i can't wait for filming to be done for you too so we can get some real alone time. because i would love to go somewhere with just the two of us. maybe somewhere private, so we can't be bugged by anyone?

[shawnofinfamy]

i saw that you're done with your north america part of your tour. what else do you have next, girl? are you ever going to get a moment to slow down and just rest? i swear you've been touring forever now! how are you and that handsome man of yours doing too, by the way? i love seeing pictures of you two all loved up, you two are so cute together. @infamousdua

[shawnofinfamy]

i'll be honest and say that i didn't really know much about your music until recently, but i checked out your band, and i have to admit, like a villain is such an amazing song. all the different ranges your voice takes during that? fucking amazing, man. @infamynoahs

[shawnofinfamy]

just reaching out to check on you and see how you're doing, kels. i know you're still probably pissed at me, which i get, but that doesn't mean i'm going to stop caring about you or stop wanting to make sure you're doing okay. plus, i miss talking to you a whole lot, and i'm just hoping that we can get past all of this. @infamykelsea

[shawnofinfamy]

so how does it feel to be part of one of the hottest groups right now? because all i'm seeing is you and your girls' names everywhere lately, and i love it because you guys are so talented. so are you loving every minute of the attention you're getting now? and when are we going to work together? that's the next important question i have! @sophialafortezaa

[shawnofinfamy]

you've been killing it, girl, and putting out some amazing solo music, and i'm so here for it. i always knew that you'd put out some amazing solo stuff when the time came, even though i love when you and the girls are together! how are you loving all the attention you've been getting lately? @jvdeamelia

[shawnofinfamy]

alright, miss thing, how have you been? i feel like we've not talked in ages, and that's a shame, so you need to tell me all the things i've been missing out on. what's new in your world lately? @hcilees

[shawnofinfamy]

the song you put out with jisoo, man? insane. i love it so much, and i love seeing you back and putting out amazing music. does this mean we're going to be getting more stuff from you soon? because i hope that's what it means. @zmclk

[cstkes]

@shawnofinfamy

just a little something to say congratulations on a successful tour (and for killing me with every single video, picture or any other content from it). so proud of you and can't wait to keep seeing you shine.

xx chase

ps: hope you like the bigger surprise.

[cstkes]

no, never. even if you did come close to a mess, it'd be better than most people's best. i'm happy to make it a little extra special for you. i know it'll always be impossible to not be fully focused on you. you might have given the warning, yeah. but you can't fault me for wanting to put that to the test and give you a little competition. not stopping in either of those ends either, by the way. i'm pretty confident in myself, too, so i think i'm going to say that yeah, i'm going to beat you. brace yourself, mendes. good because i haven't either. that's pretty crazy considering i'll be telling the world that my boyfriend's the hottest man alive, shawn mendes. no but really, anytime i tell anyone i still can't believe it sometimes. it feels like i've hit the biggest jackpot in the world. being stuck with you sounds like a dream so i'm more than ready for that. i promise i won't always take advantage. only when i really, really have to. how're you feeling with things wrapping up? i know i'm selfishly happy since it means more time together but also, not at the same time since i know how much all of that means to you.

[shawnofinfamy]

stop, you're being so sweet right now, and i can't handle it, babe. but i love that it'll always be impossible to not be fully focused on me, that makes me feel pretty good. i love that you're so focused on giving me this competition too, even though we both know you're not going to win! i love that you're so confident in yourself, it's very sexy, but you're not going to beat me, so i don't know why you keep thinking that. is that so? i wouldn't go as far as saying i'm the hottest man alive though, not when you exist and all. believe me, it's the same for me, i sometimes have to question how i got so lucky for you to be mine, and yeah, i know i've hit the biggest jackpot there is. i'm glad to hear you say that, because i can't wait to be stuck with you. i'm going to be glued to you for a little while i've been missing you so much. as long as you promise to only take advantage of my being emotional only ever now and again, i'll allow it. i'm a little sad that things are wrapping up, mostly because this is the happiest i've been on tour, you know? and i think people can see this is the happiest i've been too, and i want more people to experience that. because i've never been this happy in life like i am right now. i got my music, i got this amazing man by my side, and it's like, how can i not be happy and spread that around? but with saying that, i'm also sort of glad things are wrapping up because we've not been able to spend much time together, and i miss you. and just want to be with you as much as possible.

[sophiebt]

ugh, i know. the only thing missing on that ship was 'if i can't have you' being played a couple dozen times but i'll have to make up for it on the next trip by having it played twice as much. can't stop me. gin should be illegal. everyone says tequila is bad but oh my god is gin so much worse. chase, eh? is he a friend of yours or is there some tea there waiting to be spilled? stop, that's so funny. bet they'll be telling all their cougar friends about the time they fumbled shawn mendes on a cruise.

[shawnofinfamy]

you better, or i'm going to be mad. or you know what? i'm going to follow you around and sing "if i can't have you" at the top of my lungs, and people are going to probably think i'm stalking you. but it'll be worth it. i agree about gin, i can't tolerate it. but i also can't tolerate tequila. if we're being honest, i can't tolerate any hard liquor, so i probably shouldn't drink it, as it makes me act crazy! well, he's my boyfriend now, so is that exciting tea to be spilled? we weren't boyfriends on the cruise, i mean, we were working toward it, but we finally became official and all that. and right? some even took pictures of me 'on the sly,' and i just know they're telling their friends back home all kinds of stories.
