considering everything that hailey had been through over the past couple of years, the femme is honestly not sure she even knows what a functional relationship should be like. maybe she’s just completely clueless about relationships all together, that’s what it felt like sometimes. they were so risky and it always seemed to end in heartache. even though she thought that she did everything right in her marriage, that clearly wasn’t the case. hailey imagines shawn probably feels the same way about their previous relationship. and it wasn’t that he did anything wrong, hailey just allowed the words and promises from justin reentering her life to take over everything. “so many projects. levi’s, jimmy choo, tiffanys, victoria’s secret. “ she was definitely throwing herself into work to keep herself sufficiently distracted from her emotions. “can we be expecting new music any time soon?” the girl asked, raising a brow in his direction. “i got a couple things for my dad but that’s about as far as i got. at least it’s a start, right?”

Shawn had toyed with the idea of putting himself out there again but at the end of the day he just felt like it wasn’t worth the hassle. It was easier forming no attachments, hooking up when he felt lonely and calling it a night. He also knew it wouldn’t be fair to start a relationship with someone else, while being hung up on the girl that was currently standing in front of him. He lifted a brow when Hailey started to name all the projects she was doing right now but he wasn’t surprised since she always had such a strong drive to work. “Pretty impressive, so I should be on the look out for some new photoshoots soon?” Shawn’s words came out sounding a little teasing but then he worried he’d gone a little too far and tensed up a bit, but did his best to shake it off. “Uh, I’m hoping to put out some new stuff, maybe have a new album out before my next tour starts!” Shawn gave her a smile, it was easy to be happy when he was talking about his music and the fact that he was touring again soon. He hadn’t done a world tour since 2019 and he was looking forward to being back out there again. “Good start if you ask me, especially if your dad is hard to buy for? Best to get him out of the way first!” The small talk kind of made him feel a little tense, a little part of Shawn wanted to just make a quick exit and walk away. But there was another part of him that had really missed Hailey, and he wanted to stick around and talk to her a little more.

it was the summer of love, a delicate daydream

[weirdmendes]

I’m someone that’s never partook in Black Friday before, but decided this year that I would give it a try because it always looks so exciting? Woke up at the crack ass of dawn, downed as much coffee as I could because I wasn’t really awake and headed out with some friends. It was a nightmare! I’m pretty sure I’m going to close my eyes to go to sleep later and have flashbacks from how much of a nightmare it was. Are there really people out there that find this fun? Because I’m half sure I saw at least 3 fist fights happening in the toy section alone, I was scared to enter electronics. I’m going to be like one of those grandpa’s that talks about his time in nam, only it’s going to be about my first and only ever experience of Black Friday.

It is dangerous sometimes, especially when someone isn’t used to wearing heels but for some reason, gravity just wasn’t on my side this time. I made a joke and said that it was the universe humbling me because those heels were about 5-6 inches on the heel and I’m already 5″11″ without them. I guess I don’t need to be any taller. I’m alright now, thankfully. As long as you aren’t sabotaging yourself or others, sometimes some stupid choices make up the funniest experiences or stories, right?

Wow! I guess I didn’t realize you were already 5′11 and now I’m trying to picture you in those high of heels? I’m 6′2 myself so you’d tower over me a little if you wore heels that were 5-6 inches! I’m glad to hear that you’re alright now, and you’ve not had anymore heel related injuries? I’m not really the type to sabotage myself or others, it’s really just a bit of fun and that’s it! Yeah, stupid stories usually make the funniest experiences or stories and I’ve got a lot of them to share!

Oh, yes. I would be happy to go to either of the ones they mentioned. But I am just going to get on with my job and not think about it until it happens, if it does. I can understand that. In your case I was thinking more something you would like such as if there had been rumours you were going to work with a certain artist or band and that’s all it was, a rumour. But yeah, hearing something like that as well, I don’t think the media would come up with me doing anything else. They probably think there isn’t anything else I can do. Haha.

That’s all you can do at the end of the day is get on with your job and not think about it. I think if you spend too much time thinking about it it would just drive you mad. Or at least I know it would drive me mad? I’m trying to think if the media has ever stated I was working with an artist or band that I wasn’t working with but would love to? I can’t though! But maybe now that you’ve said it, it’ll happen. I hope they say I’m going to work with someone awesome and who they’d least expect? Like U2 or even Metallica. That would be a random rumor but an amazing one? Could you see yourself doing anything else though? If you weren’t playing the sport you played right now?

Though I spent yesterday watching my raiders, I also did a ton of online shopping. I did some for my family, friends, and myself. How can I say no to a sale?! Tell me, what did you buy yesterday? I know it was Thanksgiving, but to a dutch like me, it was shopping day. @hollyweirdstarters​

I didn’t do any online shopping yesterday but I did try my hand at Black Friday shopping today and it was a nightmare. I didn’t really get anything that I had been hoping to get and I ended up wanting to have a drink at 9 in the morning. Have you ever gone Black Friday shopping in public? If you haven’t, don’t. It’s the scariest thing! Hopefully you got some good things for yourself and your family while you were shopping yesterday! And they had some real good sales?

Willa is growing up so fast is kinda insane, she is about to celebrate her second Christmas and i’m not sure i can handle that, where is time going? Are you guys excited for Christmas? I honestly can wait to see Willa with our family!

I guess I didn’t realize how old she was already? But I do hope she has a very good second Christmas. She’ll likely get spoiled by all! I’m a kid at heart so I’m very excited for Christmas! I’ll be heading home to be with my family and that’s never a bad time.

Niall: Shawny boy

Niall: Help me create a new Thanksgiving tradition, so this time next year, there won’t be a spam of seasoned turkeys from à la chef Horan’s kitchen.

Niall: Since a lot more people are needing glasses or squinting eyes.

Shawn: Niall boy

Shawn: What kind of new Thanksgiving tradition are you thinking of? And why wasn't I informed that there would be a lot of seasoned turkeys out of chef Horan's kitchen? Where was my invite?

Shawn: I'll help you if I can

Even though he wasn’t likely to admit it, Hailey knew that she probably wasn’t someone that Shawn wanted to run into. Soon after she broke it off with him, she’d rushed into yet another relationship with Justin. Of course, that time she thought that it would last forever. At least that was plan. But now here she was, literally just turned 25 and already married and divorced. Clearly the model learns her lessons the hard way. A few moments later her order is called and she’s happy to grab the cup because it presents a distraction and she doesn’t have to just stand there awkwardly trying to find her words. She knows that he was hurt by her and that hadn’t ever been her intention, so there is a small pant of guilt that pings in her chest. “I’m doing well. Busy with work and stuff but I guess that’s a good thing. Having a successful shopping trip so far?” She motioned to the bags in his hand before taking a sip of her coffee.

While it had been more than a few years since they’d broken up, he still found it slightly painful to be around her. He’d not been in another relationship since her, finding it a lot easier just to hook up and keep things casual because he didn’t want to risk getting hurt again. Not to mention the lingering feelings for Hailey that were still there, though he’d been really working at pushing them down or at least ignoring them. When she had moved on so quickly to Justin, he’d just assumed he had felt more for her than she had for him, which made the sting a little worse but he did his best to not dwell on it. Because it was in the past and Shawn knew there wasn’t anything he could do to change it. It was easy though right now to just give her a smile when she’d respond to him. “That’s good to hear, been working with any new clothing lines? Or are you working on some other projects? It’s always good to be kept busy though at least that’s how I feel with my music. Uh, yeah,” he replied looking down at his bags for a moment, like he’d forgot they were in his hands. “I got some things for my mom and my sister, figured get the shopping for them out of the way first since they’re the hardest to shop for. What about you?”

pcnelopemitch​:

I’ve been sleeping a lot more than usual lately and I don’t know if I should be worried. Honestly, it might be the jetlag from traveling so much, but who knows. Either way, I’m in London now and need to know where the best place to get coffee is. Anyone happen to know so I can function like a normal human being?

@hollyweirdstarters​

I think it’s normal to be worried a little if you’re not normally one to sleep a whole lot? Maybe you could be coming down with something but I guess being jetlag could be a good reason as well? How much have you been traveling? Sorry I’m not in London, but if you were in LA I could help you where the best coffee is!

[weirdmendes]

harrykane-hw​:

Just when I though the whole transfer stuff was behind me, there are rumours about two teams that would buy me. I have learnt not to get my hopes up after the summer incident. If it happens, it would be a move from London though. Have you had rumours about you that you have seen or heard and thought I would love to do that, but also don’t want to get your hopes up in case it didn’t happen?

@hollyweirdstarters​

I know that you said you don’t want to get your hopes up. But would you be happy to either of the places that want to buy you? Which sounds a little odd when I said it like that. I’ve heard a lot of rumors about me, but I can’t say any of them were things that I’d love to do? Most of them were rumors about things I would hate to do, or being linked with people I don’t care much for? I did have one rumor that I was going to quit singing and become an actor? That was kind of cool I guess but I don’t think acting is for me!

          i’ve been in sweden for the past ten months and i have to say, i’m ready to venture out to a sunnier place. there’s only so much a girl can handle and i’m starting to seriously miss wearing regular clothes without having to add layers upon layers. i just purchased the cutest outfits and this weather is killing my vibe. perhaps los angeles will be a nice change. @hollyweirdstarters​

I’ve been pretty thankful that I’ve been in California for a while now because I know I wouldn’t be happy where the weather is cold. Now that you’re in a sunnier place, what do you plan on doing? Where do you plan on going in said cute outfits that you’ve purchased? I think Los Angeles will always be a nice change and have been pretty happy since I’ve moved here.

I nearly cost myself my own life today and I will tell you how I did it. I saw these really cute stilettos and they were pretty high on the heel, I will admit, but I figured since I’m excellent with heels normally, it wouldn’t be an issue. I was wrong. So wrong. I rolled my ankle and toppled over within the first few steps and just admitted defeat and sat on the cold store floor for a moment. I’m so lucky that all I got was a sore foot and bruised knees. Have you ever made a dumb choice that you regretted? Or that embarrassed you for that matter? It doesn’t have to be super deep, I’m not trying to take Oprah’s job, but by all means, I’m all ears.  | @hollyweirdstarters​

This is why I’m thankful that stilettos are something I’ll never have to be worried about wearing? Because that sounds very dangerous and it sounds like you’re lucky all you did was roll your ankle? I feel like I’ve made a lot of dumb choices that I’ve regretted so we’d be here for a while. Sometimes I think I thrive on my own stupidity and go out of my way to make said dumb choices!

decided to take a quick vacation to jamaica to see my grandparents, because let me just say, this year has been one rollercoaster of a time. i’m currently sat with a cocktail in one hand, and a book in the other. so until further notice, if you need me, you’re just going to have to make the trip to jamaica because i am in no rush to get back to london, or to turn my phone back on. although, i think my girls are going to throw a tantrum soon, if i don’t hurry up and get my arse back for work. in other news though, i’m in a new christmas movie, which is out in cinema’s in the uk from the 3rd of decemeber. it’s called boxing day, and you should go check it out, since it’s my first acting role and although i’m pretty excited for people to see it, i’m also a bit nervous for everyone’s reaction. for those of you i don’t know, and that don’t know me, i’m leigh-anne, mostly sings in a girl band, apparently now, sometimes acts too. {  @hollyweirdstarters

You can never go wrong with Jamaica for one and it’s always good when you’re able to go and see your family as well. Especially when you’re getting to see your grandparents! I don’t blame you for not wanting to get back since you’re in paradise right now and it’s rather cold in London right now, right? Congrats on your first acting role by the way, I’ll make sure to put it on my list of things I need to go see! I’m sure you’ll do fantastic and you won’t have needed to be nervous! I’m not sure if you know me but I know of you and it’s a real nice to get to meet you Leigh-Anne since I’m a huge fan of yours and Little Mix.

with time seeming to literally fly by, hailey knew that soon it would be december, which meant that the holidays were creeping up on her. that’s why she decided that shopping would be a good idea. she could pick up a few things for a few people and at least have some of that done so that she wasn’t rushing around at the last minute. after picking up a couple of things from various stores, the model decided that coffee was a necessity. she chose a rather quiet coffee shop, because she didn’t feel like dealing with all of the hustle and bustle. after putting in her order, she moved over to the pick up station. and when her order was called out, the femme reached for the cup at the exact same time someone else had done the same. they must have ordered the same thing. the only way to decipher who it was for was to read the name on the side of the cup. “ah. shawn. looks like you win this round,” she joked. it was only then that her brown orbs focused in on the other. hails was taken aback briefly, mostly because he wasn’t someone that she was expecting to see. they hadn’t really talked too much once she broke the news that she was getting married. that ended up in flames, but they hadn’t talked about that either. “hey. how are you?” @weirdmendes

Shawn was always someone that prepared early for the holidays, he really hated to leave things to the last minute, which is why he was currently out and taking care of purchasing a few things for those that he loved. It had been a bit stressful shopping, given people instantly realized who he was and saw fit to stop him constantly. The singer was never more thankful when he came across a small coffee shop, deciding that the caffeine would be a much needed fix to sooth some of the nerves he’d been starting to feel from fans approaching him. After placing his order, he did his very best to keep his head down and hope that he could just enjoy his coffee without any interruptions. When his order had been called out, Shawn let out a little sigh of relief only to notice he was reaching for it at the same time as someone else. He relaxed though at the sound of his name for a moment, giving him the clue that the coffee was for him, and he’d been about to make a joking remark in return. However the voice sounded familiar, which had Shawn instantly looking up and freezing a little when he notices Hailey standing in front of him. She was the last person he’d expected to see, they hadn’t talked since she’d ended things and than what felt like shortly after got married. Shawn had been really hurt, so he’d not even attempted to reach out to her because he knew he’d likely say some things he’d regret. after he had heard her marriage had failed, he’d sent a few texts here and there to try and be nice. But he was still stung by everything that had gone down. That doesn’t stop him from giving her a small smile because the singer wasn’t going to be rude to her in public and it had always been hard for him to stay upset with the model, when she was standing right in front of him. “Hey. I’m good, Hails, and you? It’s, uh been a while.”
