Our Little Love ➳ Camila Cabello

forty-nine

"Are you nervous?" Dinah asked biting off a piece of a Dorito.
"No, I'm just constantly tapping my foot like this because I'm thinking of a beat for a new song." I bitchily replied.

I was more than nervous. I was freaking out. Tonight wasn't only the last show, but it was the night that I planned on making the most special for everyone. Including Camila.

"Lil Mama, you need to chill." Dinah said rubbing my back calmly. "We all know the plan. You just gotta go out there and do your stuff."
"You're right." I tried to breathe out.
"You have what you need?" Dinah asked.
I dug in my pockets and felt a few items like my 'ears' and pack and a few miscellaneous things that don't really need to be put into detail. "Yeah, and you're sure no one will be pranking me? This has to go well."
Dinah held her hands up in a truce, "Scouts honor. No one will be pranking you until the deed is done."
"Good." I relaxed.

Alejandro, Sinuhe, and Sofi piled into my dressing room with smile.

"Y/N!" Alejandro said running to pick me up in a hug.
I was happy to be a part of the family again, "Nice to see you too, Papa Cabello."
He put me down and Sinuhe hugged me, "Now, where's our other daughter?" She joked.
I picked up Sofi and gave her a peck on the cheek, "Right here."
Sinuhe smirked, "Very funny, Y/N. I mean, Camila."
"She went to go get some coffee. She should be back soon, though." I smiled.
"Are you really ready for this?" Sinuhe asked in a concerned but supportive tone.
I nodded, "More than anything. I just hope that-"

"Mi familia!" Camila exclaimed walking through the door. I put Sofi back down on the ground so she could run after her sister. After saying her hellos, Camila walked over to give me my coffee and place a kiss on my cheek. "Chocolate Chip Frap for the girl who's gonna do great tonight."
I couldn't help but start cheesing, "Thanks, babe."

Ally, Normani, and Lauren walked in giggling. Lauren continued what she was saying in the hall, "I told y'all that vine was so worth it." She looked up from her phone to see everyone, "Looks like the gang is here."
Ally walked over to give me a big hug, "I'm sorry we're late. Lauren thought of a vine and wanted to do it since she hasn't been on there in ages."
I hugged her back with a smile, "It's fine, Allycat."
Normani grabbed a bag of chips from my food table and crashed on the couch, "Girl, you better Twerk hard for me tonight."
"Whatever you want, Moniloves." I laughed.

Cassandra, my vocal coach, walked into the the room with a skip in her step. "Y/N, are you ready to do warm ups? You only have 15 minutes until your set."

I exhaled and nodded walking into the dressing room bathroom for the acoustics. The girls followed me in the room as I began.

Ten minutes of non-stop annoying noises later and my nerves began piling up. God, I can't stop shaking. This is huge. I haven't been this nervous in almost 2 years.

I put my ears on and started pacing around the bathroom. Everyone went to take their seats and I was left alone with my anxiety. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

"Fuck." I mumbled under my breath. "I gotta get this under control. It's just a performance."
"You sound like a lunatic talking to yourself." Camila giggled behind me.
I turned around to see her standing in the doorway.
"Yeah, I know. Im just trying to calm my nerves." I told her.
Camila walked over to where I was and grabbed me by my hips. Our faces were inches away. "You'll be great, babe. This is the last show so you gotta own it harder than any of the other ones."
"I know." I sighed.
Camila pressed her lips to mine and we moved them together softly. Not rushing but not pulling away. After a few more moments, Scooter came into the room.
"I don't mean to interrupt or anything." He laughed. "But you're on in 3 minutes."
Camila kissed my forehead and let go of me, "Good luck, babe."

I started walking in the direction of the stage and with each moment, my heart began to beat faster. I could've passed out right there.

I had just finished performing Pretty and I Know for the crowd. I lost myself on stage because I was having such a good time. The rush of the crowd is exhilarating. Now I know why the girls love doing this. Sure, there are shit moments that come out of it, but at the end of the day you're happy about what you did on that stage.

I stopped on stage and a stage hand handed me a guitar to pull over my body. They also pulled up a stool and give me a wireless mic. This is it. It's all about to happen.

"How are y'all doing out there?" I asked the crowd as they roared back in response. "Same." I chuckled.
I looked out into the crowd and smiled seeing the happy faces throughout the area.
"I'm about to sing a song that y'all should know if you've seen me on YouTube which I'm sure you've all seen." I heard a lot of screams. "Except I'm gonna bring out a very special person. Someone who I love dearly and I wanna sing this to her because without her, I wouldn't be here performing in the staples center for over 18 thousand people."

As she lifted up to the stage with a confused expression, I rushed over behind a speaker to grab a bouquet of roses that were hidden behind it. She was officially on stage behind me. I pulled up the stool and placed a kiss on her cheek then handed the flowers to her.
