"Cam!" I hurry over to my cousin with a bright grin as I tackle her to the ground. She laughs whole heartedly as she hugs me back.

"If you don't get your big fat ass off me." Camila says making us both laugh as I stand up off of her. I help her up and she wipes the invisible dust off her clothes.

"Welcome back." I reconnected with Cam about two months when she came to see me. We ended up having a long conversation about the family and how we both were doing now. We even shed a few tears during it. "Thanks for coming."

"Of course! You know I wouldn't miss this for the world." She wraps her arm around my shoulders and smiles as we walk into the house.

"Iris Cam's here!" I say excitedly to my best friend who looks up from her phone and grins brightly. "Cam!" She screams and jumps up to tackle my cousin to the ground.

"What is with you all tackling me!?" Camila playfully shouts as Iris and I laugh at her struggle underneath Iris. "This is abuse!"

"Oh you know you love it." Iris smiles and helps Camila up. She glares at my best friend and playfully punches her arm before focusing her attention back on me.

"Where's that gorgeous fiancee of yours?"

I walk them into the kitchen and head over to the fridge. "She left to go record with Finneas but she should be back in a minute. She already told me she's on her way." I reply as I get a water bottle out the fridge.

"Okay well you got any food? I'm starving." Camila rubs her stomach hungrily as she takes at seat at the bar stool. I nod and walk over to the stove.

"I made some Galinhada" I tell her as I take the top off the pan and grab a plate from the cabinet.

"Really?!" Camila asks me in excitement. "Oh I haven't had galinhada in years."

"What's that?" Iris asks as I serve a plate to the both of them.

"It's basically chicken and rice but I added some sausages as well." I reply making Camila happily clap her hands at the sight of the warm food. She doesn't hesitate to dig in, Iris either.

"Oh fuck it tastes just like mom's" She replies as she moans in delight. I laugh and give them both some water before making a plate for myself.

I hear the front door open before my fiancee yells out. "I'm back!" Billie says making me smile. She walks into the kitchen and smiles when she sees me. "Hey baby." She walks over to me and pecks my lips twice.

"Hey mama. How did it go?"

"Really good. Everything is set for our release date next month. My manager called and said we also got a date booked for the music video." Billie exclaims with a huge smile. She hugs me and I kiss her forehead.

"Billie! It's so good to see you again" Camila exclaims as she looks up from her plate. Billie turns around and waves at Camila before going over to hug her.

"Hey Cam how you doing?" She asks her as she moves over to Iris and pulls her into a hug as well.

"Pretty good. I'm happy to back with you guys and to get wedding planning going." Camila is a wedding planner and Billie and I thought it was a great idea for her to be our wedding planner. We don't want to have the wedding any time soon. We actually are hoping to have it by next year in spring. Camila is just here now to help us pick a date then a venue.
