Our Little Secret ➳ Camila Cabello

forty-two

We drove down a long private road to stop off at a beach. A very secluded and very quiet part of the beach in Rio, I might add.
"What are we doing here?" I asked confused by all means.
We got out and started to walk in the sand. I left my Jordan's in the car because sneakers and sand don't mix too well. Camila grabbed my hand and walked with me while the other girls hurried to strip themselves out of their previous attire into their swimsuits which was underneath. "We wanted to go swimming but there were way too many people at the beach, including crazy fans. So, we called for this private beach and here we are." She explained while swinging our hands back and forth.
I smiled, "That's great and all, but I can't swim. Injuries, remember?"
She nuzzled herself closer to me. Once we stopped, she laid out a few blankets for us to sit on. "That's why I asked for food so you and I could sit and eat under the moonlight on the beach."
I blushed at her cuteness, "You're so romantic, baby." She really was. I don't know how though considering I've been her only girlfriend, but she is. It's probably because love has always been on her mind.
"Thanks, Sweets." She replied while opening her box of take out and I followed behind her. She closed her eyes to say a quick prayer before picking up her Pão de Queijo in one hand and her Misto Quente in the other. She moaned at the goodness of the Brazilian food.
I opened my box to reveal my Moqueca de Camarão. I grabbed the spoon laid inside and took a bite. The fresh veggies mixed with the sauce made it taste absolutely amazing. I looked up to see Camila chewing and staring at me. "What are you doing, weirdo?" I asked the girl across from me.
She shrugged and took another bite of her food, not leaving her gaze to me. "Just staring at my beautiful girlfriend under the moonlight. That's all."
I pushed my hair over to the side and rolled my eyes, "Wow. Dinner and compliments? You really know how to woo your dates, huh?"
She smirked, "Stop being so silly. But I do think you are the most beautiful girl on the world."
I smiled. I could hear that come from anyone else in the world and not bat an eye to them, but when it was coming from Camila, I genuinely believed it. "Thanks, Camz." I started to whisper to her, "You wanna know a little secret?" She nodded swallowing her food. "You're actually the most beautiful woman in all of the galaxies and beyond. Maybe even the heavens and under the Earth." I looked around quickly to see if anyone was watching us, "But you didn't hear that from me." I smiled.
"This is why I love you." She giggled a little before eating a nibble of more food.
"Why?"
"Because you can be a bad ass bitch, or very cruel sometimes, but deep down inside you're just like me. You've got this addicting thing about you, babe. I really don't know how to put it. I mean your imagination is something that connects with mine. We are both just little kids in this big world of grown ups." She replied licking her lips a little before taking another bite of her food.
I smiled at her, "How do you do that?"
"Do what?" She returned the smile.
"Say the simplest of things and make it sound so beautiful. I don't know if I've told you but I've always loved that. It's poetic." I replied eating more of the food on my plate even though I had already scarfed down most of the deliciousness already.
"You've never told me that. Do you really think I'm poetic, baby?" She closed her box, and opened a new one full of Brigadeiro which I was too familiar with thanks to Mama Ally and her baking skills.
I nodded and she brought one of the small chocolate truffles up to my face and fed me it. I bit off a piece and she smirked, "If we got married, the cake would be a lot messier."
"If?" I questioned her. "Baby girl, the fact is not if. It's when we get married. And you better watch out because cake will be all over you."
She giggled a little and took a bite of her truffle. "Why are you so good to me?" She asked licking the chocolate sprinkles off her lips.
I shrugged, "I dunno. I guess we both got lucky."

She licked her fingers before sitting up on the blanket and looking out at the water. I crawled between her legs and pressed my back into her chest while she brought her arms around me. "This place is beautiful." She whispered.
"It really is." I agreed sighing out.
She gave me a quick peck on the top of my head, "You know that because of you there's one thing on my bucket list I get to check off. I mean, there are a lot of things but one in particular stands out right now ."
"Which one?"
"Journeying through the world with someone I love." Camila replied. "Thank you." I could feel the warmth and security of her body around me.
"No, thank you, babe." I smiled. "Without you I'd be stuck in Houston by myself hoping that someone like you would come along."
"Same here. Except in the 305 obviously." She giggled a little. "Okay, so you know in that book the Fault in Our Stars?"
"The one that I cried when I read the book but not the movie? Yes. Vaguely." I replied.
Her voice was registering at a lower tone with each word she spoke which was so soothing to me, "Ok. Well, you know how they say 'okay' and that's their always? What can our 'always' be?"
I shrugged, "I dunno. I mean we have a lot of reoccurring inside jokes but I can't think of anything right now."
"How about banana?"
I laughed a little too hard making my side throb but I tried to not make a big deal out of it. "That's funny, Mila. You know I don't like bananas. Pun intended."
"Yeah but it's simple and easy for me to remember. Plus I can say it anywhere and people won't think I'm weird." She explained.
"I'm sure they'll think it's a little weird if you scream bananas across the room." I replied.
"Please." She begged nuzzling her mouth into my neck and kissing it.
I was feeling weak, in a good way, with her kiss on my neck. "Fine. Bananas it is." She squealed and took her phone out. "What are you doing?"
"Tweeting. Get your phone and follow my lead." She ordered. I looked at my phone and waited for her notification.

@camilacabello97: Banana?

I smirked knowing exactly what to tweet. I opened a new draft and hurried to type my characters out.

@y/t/n: Banana.

She kissed my neck after getting my notification. "At least you knew what I was trying to do."
I put my phone down and pulled away from her to face her. I pushed a strand of loose hair from out of her face, then grabbed the back of her neck pulling her close to me. I left about a 3 centimeter gap between our faces and said to her, "I love you Karla Camila Cabello."
"I love you too, y/f/n y/m/n y/l/n." She replied staring deep into my eyes.
I pulled her neck closer, then pushed up her chin with my fingers and attached my lips to hers. We did just a few small kisses then pulled away to look at each other and smile. It was a innocent yet intimate moment. It reminded me of when her and I just started dating.

I was spending the night with her at her house after a X Factor performance. Her family was asleep, so her and I decided to stay up and watch movies all night.
"How about Twilight?" She asked holding up the DVD case.
"How about no?" I smirked.
"The notebook?" She pouted.
"Why do you wanna watch so many love stories?" I asked taking a sip of my water bottle.
"Cause that's what couples are supposed to do together. How about you pick a movie." She winked at me before pulling down her cut off
shirt before it raised too high.
I groaned and walked over to her DVD shelf, "How about....." I ran my fingers over the cases until I found one, "How about Nightmare on Elm Street?"
Her eyes got big, "No. I'm a baby when it comes to scary movies. A legit 7 year old."
"Then why do you have it?"
"My cousin bought it once to watch it with me because he promised he wouldn't scare me, but that night before we watched it, he popped out in a Freddy mask and I cried." She giggled covering her face in embarrassment.
I chuckled a little, "Well, I won't scare you. In fact, you can lay in my arms the whole time and I won't let you be harmed. Ok?"
She smiled, "Okay, babe. But be prepared to take care of 7 year old me."

We got through the first few jump scares easily but once Tina was being dragged across the ceiling in her dream, Camila got a little more jittery. I stroked her hair a few times to assure her everything was okay. "It's just starting, babe. Are you already scared?" Camila turned towards me, away from the TV, and nodded burying her head innocently in my chest. "Don't be scared, Mila. Trust me, there's no such thing as a guy who kills you in your dreams. To be honest, you have more of a chance of being eaten by a killer whale than dying when your asleep."
"That's not helping me." She giggled with her voice shaking a bit.
I laughed, "I'm sorry. I'm not so good at this comforting thingy."
Camila pulled away, squirmed up to be closer to my face, and smiled, "Then kiss me." That's all she asked. I smiled and pressed my lips onto hers. We moved our lips together and in the middle of the kiss she smiled and pulled away, "I'm happy you were my first kiss, babe."
"I'm happy I was too. You're a quick learner." I winked making her blush.

"Ally is yelling at us I think." Camila smiled.
I broke out of my flashback and I could hear Ally yell, "Don't have sex on the beach you two. We're right here."
I sat back against Camila's chest again, "We kissed. Not finger fucked." I yelled back to her.
"Ew stop." Ally laughed feeling a little awkward.

As the days passed, we were officially going to the hospital to get the metal bar peeled out of my skin, hopefully releasing a lot of pain. But I wasn't excited about that. I was more excited that there were only 2 weeks until the album was released.

I was in the hospital gown and laying on the bed waiting to be took to surgery. Camila was holding my hand tightly not ready to let go.
We were sent back to Houston for the surgery because that was the doctor who first put the bar in so I wanted him to take it out. Lauren and Dinah went back home for a few days while Camila, Ally, and Normani came to support me even though I told them to go home.

The nurses I had last time suddenly showed up and decided to take me to surgery. I was a little drugged up already so when I saw the darker man I couldn't stop my mouth from spewing out idiotic comments. "Woah, Ally, look! It's Nurse McSexy."
Normani almost shat herself from laughing so hard. I looked over to see the other nurse and smiled, "Aye, Russell. How you doing?" I giggled.
He smirked showing his teeth as he unlocked my wheels and started to pull the bed away, "Not as good as you, but I'm okay."
I started to leave the room when I heard Camila yell to me, "We'll be right here!"
"No. Go home to your families." I yelled back before I was rolled down the hall.
