Love, desire, fantasy... oh! and Red Velvet ;)
A Shawmila One-Shot and Short Story book.

Camila Cabello isn't your typical mid twenty something woman. She a good girl, all the way to the bone. She doesn't drink to get drunk or hang out with guys just to have sex. In fact, she can't remember the last time she's had sex. Camila has been too busy building her own independent empire to need or want anyone else to take care of her; or for her to take care of. She's not opposed to having someone to call her boyfriend and love her how she deserves; she just hasn't met him yet. She's been burned too many times by selfish guys who claim to want her, when in fact all they want her for is one thing. She learned a long time ago that one thing isn't worth the regret and pain that comes with it the next morning and following days after.
In the spirit of the approaching new year, she hesitantly agreed to go to her friend Taylor's New Years Eve party. As she stands in front of her closet trying to find a suitable outfit, she starts to regret not just grabbing a pint of Chunky Monkey and watching 365 Days on Netflix curled up under her favorite knit blanket. It's not that she's opposed to parties, but as she looks deeper into the depths of her closet, she realizes she has nothing to wear but sweats and scrubs. Her work and and casual attire looking eerily similar as the lack of color starts to blend into one big blob.
Looking at her watch, she decides she doesn't have time to go for a quick shopping run and determines that showing up to Taylor's party in sweats is not ideal, but it's not going to be a big shindig right?! So she throws on a pair of sweats and some running shoes and makes her way to Taylor's house early in case she needs help setting things up.
Knocking on Taylor's door, she waits patiently for her friend to answer. A loud sigh breaks her trance from her phone as she sees her friend standing in front of her in a beautiful blue, sequin dress.
"I thought this wasn't a fancy party!" She says. Taylor just scoffs "Girl even if it wasn't a fancy party, you wouldn't be allowed to wear what you're wearing tonight. Come inside, you're lucky we are about the same size in just about everything!" Taylor grabs Camila's arm and drags her upstairs to her room. After about 30 minutes Camila is transformed and she'll never admit it, but she feels beautiful, confident and maybe a tiny bit sexy.

"Damn I'm good!" Taylor exclaims as she finishes Camila's makeup and sprays her signature perfume through the air. Camila can't help but continue to stare at herself in the mirror. "Wow!" Is all she can say.
"Now Mila, I know you don't want to, but I want you to put yourself out there tonight. Have a few drinks and let loose! Talk to some guys and maybe you'll find one to kiss at midnight" she winks at her friend before leaving her to admire herself a little longer. Taylor doesn't even give her a chance to respond before she's already half way down her stairs.
Camila takes a few deep breaths before she grabs her heels and heads downstairs to join her friends. She's secretly thankful Taylor is the way that she is because sometimes you just need a little push.
