Haven - Emilee
Camila's POV
January 2020
"Where are you going?"
"Just for a walk", my mom said casually as she put on the scarf around her neck and my dad fixed his jacket.
"We'll be back for dinner", papá said.
They turned around giggling and disappeared through the front the door, hand in hand. I stirred the tea in my cup to cool it down and held it with both hands. It was freezing outside and I didn't quite understand why my parents were choosing to spend time out there. I looked down at the notes over the table and read them one more time, repeating some phrases I still struggled with. Time went by as I drank my tea and checked the director's notes.
"You look cute with glasses", I heard someone say and interrupt my study. Not someone, my boyfriend.
"Do I?", I tilted my head and glanced back at him.
"Very", Shawn murmured taking some steps closer and bending down to kiss me softly. "What are you doing?"
"Going over some dialogues", I explained.
"Why? You know them already, we've practiced".
"More practice doesn't hurt anyone", I said.
"It does if you start stressing over it", he pointed out and his eyebrows moved up his forehead a bit, like giving me a warning.
"I'm not stressed".
"Alright...", he said with hesitation and walked to the fridge to get some cold water.
"Ok, I am a bit", I confessed with a sigh. "But you would be too if you were going to share a room with so many stars. Idina Menzel? Billy Porter? I can't make a fool of myself".
"I understand", he told me. "And I agree with you, but... If I were in that position you would be telling me the same thing. You've got this, trust me".
He stared back at me with a smile on his face. A smile that conveyed everything he was thinking. That he loved me, that he trusted me and that he was proud of me. I loved that smile.
"Ok", I gave up and put the paper away. "I'm done for today".
"Good", he came closer again and kissed me some more.
"What were you doing?", I asked him.
"Reading and meditating", he replied.
"Are you bored here?", I bit my lower lip worried.
I came here to meet the rest of the cast before start shooting. This time around it was going to be just a couple of weeks for costume fitting and rehearsals before the real work started. So far, I had been going to set when they needed me and enjoyed the quiet and peace of this house the rest of the time.
"No", he shook his head. "It's nice here, I like it".
"I love you".
"I love you too", he replied. "Where are your parents by the way?"
"They went out for a walk", I said.
"Oh", he just said. "In that case..."
He roamed his hands around my waist until he placed them on my back and pulled me onto him. His lips met mine in a soft and subtle touch, very delicate. I held on to him by wrapping my arms around his neck. He had his back bent over and I stood up to help him, although with my height that didn't quite work. Instead, he picked me up and sat me down over the table, right beside the sheets.
