Smile your on camera | Pablo Gavira

safe space

i had an idea of where gavi was, i drive to the beach and the moon was reflecting on the water, it was beautiful.

i saw the person i was looking for sitting on sand hugging his knees.

i walked closer to him and sit right to him, he got startled.

"hey" i say hugging my knees, he looks at me and doesn't say anything.
"pedri was looking for you" i say looking at ocean and yet he doesn't respond so i sigh.

"why are you here?" he says in a cold tone

"because i actually care about you gavi."

"really?" he scoffs
"you literally kicked me out." he shakes his head

"gavi i'm sorry about that-"

"what are you so scared of?" he cuts me off

"what?"

"what. are. you. so. scared. off?" he says

"what do you mean?" i ask confused

"why did you pull away immediately when i told you i think i love you?"

i look away and sigh.

Gavi's POV

"why did you pull away immediately when i told you i think i love you?" i asked meaningfully

she looked away and sighed.

"you said you love me?" she asks

do i think? or do i know?

"i love you elena, i will say it as many times as you want" i say meaningfully

she blushed and smiled.

"if you love me, you have hear my story." she says facing me

"if i could hear you forever i would." i say and she looks away and smiles and looks back at me

"okay so, my family was a good family, until my father went into drinking. My father loved my sister, my mother and i but ever since he started drinking he was different, he would come home every night and beat my mothe but would never lay a finger on me or my sister, but one day it was so bad my sister tried to protect my mother, my sister was only 12 and i was 6, my father didn't like my sister protecting mama, he got furious and started beating my sister and my mother, and obviously i would go and try to stop my father then he got even more angry and beat all 3 of us. It was horrible, mama almost died, papa passed out as he was beating us." she takes a breath and sniffles
"then papa left my mama, my sister and i and married a lady who's probably 5 years younger than Adriana, and he never called and i never heard from him again. he's dead to me." her eyes turn glassy

i immediately pull her into a hug and run my hands through her hair as she sobs into my neck

"and i'm scared if i let someone in my life they will hurt me and leave me." she sniffles into my neck
"the i love you part scared me" she sobs

"elena you know i wouldn't do anything to hurt you." i say
"i love you, i really really love you" i finally admit

she gets off me and looks at me and i grab her cheek and carcasses it, she leans in and i lean and our lips connect and turn into one, i feel as electricity is running through between both of our lips.

we both pull away.

"do you want to come over?" she shyly asks

"of course." i smile placing a strand of hair behind her ear.

Elena's POV

i woke up with someone's arms wrapping me and making me little spoon, i look up and gavi was still asleep.

i felt warm, at home, and safe. he was becoming my safe space.

i wrap my arms around gavi's waist, he smells like fresh laundry with a hint of alcohol, as he was at the club last night.

"good morning lena" he says in a croaky morning voice, i smiled at that.

"good morning pablito" i smile

"i need to shower" he says sniffing himself

"yea you do" i giggle

"but i don't have any clothes cause guess who kicked me out?" he smiles with his eyes closed

"god get over it, plus you never asked me to be your girlfriend" i push him off of me

"i thought we were already together?" he rubs his eyes, and i ride my eyebrow.

"aren't we broken up?" i ask getting up

"fine, elena will you be my girlfriend? and get back in bed " he asks still in bed and looking at me

"yes!" i jump into his arms kissing his cheek

"you're so warm" he mumbles and slides his hand up my back under my shirt.

i finally got a chapter done, i've been so tired i haven't got any sleep😕 i hate being sick😓
