The next day after Selena took a shower, she calls her girlfriend and the younger woman immediately answers.

Hello love, I hope I didn't wake you up.’, Latina says not looking at her phone.

“No, I'm just getting ready for two interviews today.”, Y/N replies looking at the Latina's torso on her screen. Selena is leaning closely to the mirror to see her eyebrows close-up.

Y/N wakes up early, as well, to prepare for the two interviews she has for the day. She just stepped out of the shower room when the Latina called.

“Where's Charlotte?”, she asks. The Latina turns the camera to the cat who's laying on the table next to her, watching her do her makeup.

“Here, watching me.”, she giggles.

The two women talk for awhile until one of them, specifically Selena, has to go. She has to start shooting for her show since she has to do two episodes for the day due to the overlapping schedule she has the next day.

Y/N step out of her after she reads a message from Roger saying he's arrived. She can't wait for the interviews to be over because after that she'll fly back to LA, and take her rest and wait for another project to come.

She is greeted by the team, who arrived early, when she enters the room. She sits down in front of the mirror as her makeup artist lays down their makeup kit.

Y/N yawns as she settles down.

“I see you're still sleepy.”, her makeup artist chuckles.

“Yeah. I woke up earlier than I should.”, Y/N replies. The makeup artist just nods their head and makes no comment about it.

She couldn't sleep properly since she arrived. It's either that or she couldn't sleep until three in the morning. She feels like her body is not used to sleeping alone, without another warm body next to her whatever the weather is. Due to this, the skin under her eyes blackened a little, which the Latina hasn't noticed yet since it's not visible when they FaceTime.

There were times that she had to lie about how she's been sleeping to the Latina during their FaceTime because, aside from shes doesn't want to worry her, she doesn't want to oblige her to stay with 'till she falls asleep.

She obeys everything she is told to say and do, so, the shootings will go smoothly as wants it to be since she wants to get out of there the soonest she can.

After the second interview, some of people in the team asks Y/N to have lunch with them. They had to skip lunch since the schedule of the two interviews are next to each other.

“Sure! Let me just change into my comfy clothes.”, she says before disappearing behind the bathroom. She changes into a knitted shirt and a slacks. The wardrobe gets the used clothes from her hand.

After that, they go to the new open restaurant a few blocks away from the building. It is a place that they found on tiktok; it has a lot of videos about it. The place is aesthetic and calming when they arrive. They are people, probably saw it as well on the 'short-span' video platform, but it's not crowded. It's getting all the hype however, Y/N and the team want to know if it is just a hype or it's really has a great dishes.

“Order anything you like. It's on me.”, Y/N says after a waiter gives them the menu. Everybody cheers when they hear her and proceed on going through the menu book.

After they finish eating, they stay for awhile and talk about the food that they eat.

Y/N asks for the bill and pays their meal. Everyone thank her before they leave. She hops in the car when it arrives, driven by Roger.

“Where to next, Miss?”, the man asks looking at Y/N through rear mirror.

Y/N sighs at the word Roger uses to address her but she can't force him to just call her by her name. Plus, Roger doesn't want to call her Y/N and not miss.

“Just back to my apartment.”, Y/N replies before looking out the window.

After thirty minues of travel, they arrive safely. Y/N unlocks the front door and gets in with Roger following behind.

The man hired by her company becomes her full time security due to the level of attention she gets after the online world decided that she and Selena are "dating" even though they haven't confirm nor deny anything. They hardly get spotted together but despite of that the news isn't dying down.

Y/N takes a quick shower and wears a clean clothes. She lays down on her bed and stares to the ceiling. She misses her cat and her girlfriend. She can't wait to go home.

She stands up and gets her phone from the table in the living where she left it. Y/N sees Roger watching a show on her television.

“Hope you don't mind.”, the man says. Y/N smiles and shakes her head before reaching her phone from the table.

She goes back to her room, locking the door behind. She goes back laying on her bed. Y/N scrolls through her Instagram before deciding to message the Latina that she will face-time call.

It doesn't take three rings before the Latina answers.

She hears Selena talking to someone called "Roy" before turning her attention to her phone.

Selena is crouching hiding her phone, while she's holding bronze measuring cups, and Y/N can tell since she can see the counter covering the upper portion of Selena's video.

“Hey, I have to call you back. I'm cooking.”, Selena says in hurry.

“Oh shoot! I'm so sorry! Okay, call you later.”

“Alright, bye.”, the Latina says before hanging up and placing her phone back on the counter.

The Latina laughs nervously, “Cute girl.”, she says smiling ear to ear, making her grandmother, who's sitting on a stool beside her, chuckle.

“It's okay. That was a cute girl? You could take the call.”, the chef on-call says while crashing an ingredient in mortar and pestle.

Selena hushes him, placing her finger on her lips while looking through the ingredients in front of her, unable to make an eye contact.

“Uh-... what am I doing?”, she asks. “I just got like–...”, she says turning to her grandmother and then walking a couple steps away from the counter, turning away from the front camera.

“Distracted, right then.”, the older woman finishes her sentence for her. She knows what makes Selena flushed like that.

She laughs, going back to the counter, “What do I do?”, she asks. The chef on-screen is laughing as well at her reaction.

“You're cooking.”, her grandmother points out the obvious.

“I know but like-...”, she says putting both her hands on her head, trying to get herself focus.

“He's waiting.”, the older woman reminds her and they continue right after that.

After the shooting, as what became Selena's routine, make a call to Y/N.

“Hi, Sel.”, Y/N's sweaty face shows on her screen. The Latina already knows she just finished working out because whenever she calls in the afternoon Y/N is either that or she's on the bed or in the shoot.

“Don't ever do that!”, Selena says, making Y/N look at the screen confused.

“Uh-...do what?”

“I got distracted, I was cooking.”, the Latina groans rolling on their bed. The ceiling is the only thing Y/N can see on Selena's screen.

“Ah,” Y/N realizes what she's talking about.

“Yeah, about that. I'm sorry, I didn't know.”, she says.

The Latina holds her phone, finally showing her face, “It's okay. It's just... Nana keeps teasing me about it.”

Y/N laughs, “Nana was there? Omg! I need to see the uncut video!”, the younger woman says.

“No, you'll have to wait to watch it.”

A/N: Thank you for patiently waiting 🫶
