Not Just Us (Camila/You)

Chapter Nine

Six weeks into our recording, studio time was becoming an everyday occurrence. The schedule had began as four days a week recording to give the girls some much needed time off, with a longer time scale to record. Now, with the deadline looming in two weeks and 12 songs written and recorded, time was not on our side. We had been at the studio for six days straight, long hours, desperately trying to finish another few songs.

In my experience, the more you have recorded, the more variety there is to pick from which would benefit the girls immensely. Today we were finishing a song given to the girls by Tinashe. It was a bop, I'll tell you.

Ally was in the booth now recording her harmony with Dinah's already recorded segment. Lauren and Mani were out getting some food from multiple places to suit everyones taste buds. And Camila... well Mila was sitting half on my lap, at the controls with her legs up on the desk. Real mature Cabello. Things had been going great with me and Camila. I had taken her on two more dates in the last week and she'd even stayed over a couple of nights. Things were getting slightly more serious but we both seemed to be coping with that. Laney had become completely enamoured with Camila, it was like Mila was her new idol. All Laney wanted to do was spend time with Camila. Again I'm not complaining as long as I was included in their plans.

There had even been a lot of twitter activity in relation to Camila and I's relationship. Nothing was confirmed but there were thousands of harmonizers speculating on whether I was her boyfriend or not. There a couple of pictures of the two of us on the girls instagrams as well as Camila and I posting the same picture of us and Laney eating dinner out at a restaurant. Harmonizers can be quite excitable so a couple of youtubers and gossip sites had done videos on me and Mila as well as an 'online profile' about me. Which was kind of...weird.

"Am I staying at yours tonight" Camila asked as she wrapped her arms around my waist whilst I changed the pitch sub level.

"If you want to, you're always welcome at ours whenever"

"Then yes I am"

I kissed her forehead and continued to control the levels of the sound recording software. The girls had a tv appearance on a new famous, talent show thing to attend tomorrow so they all need their rest. Knowing this I aimed to end our day at five... so, right about now. As soon as Ally was done. The girls all hugged and said their goodbyes. Camila and Myself, walking to the car, hand in hand.

Once we got through the LA rush hour traffic, we settled in to our fairly new routine. Camila had bought clothes to keep here but she always ended up wearing mine. She looked friggin adorable in my shirts though. We'd relax and watch a movie or something and I'd go to do some chores like washing clothes and cleaning, she always insisted on helping which I felt bad about. I don't invite my girlfriend over to was me and my daughters dirty clothes but I won't deny the help. Tonight Laney was staying at my parent's house as there was a local kids day at the park that they took her to. I would miss her way too much. I'm never good being away from Laney, even when she's with my parents I'm a nervous reck. I don't know what I'll do when she starts going to sleepovers and stuff.

By eight we were cuddled up on the couch watching the Incredibles, her choice, not mine. Okay so I actually loved this film but she doesn't need to know that. She turned in my arms and began to trace my facial features gently whilst keeping eye contact with me. My heart rate increased dramatically.

"Can I ask you a question" she whispered

"Anything"

"Have you ever brought a girl back here before, you know..."

"No, never. I won't lie to you baby, Over the past few years, I've kissed a handful of girls and even hooked up with a couple of them. Ive not been interested in relationships and having Laney changed my perspective of random sex or even anything meaningful. I've never bought anyone but you here. I didn't want any of them to get in the way of me and Laney's life. Never mind not wanting Laney to see any of them. But then there's you, everything's different with you."

There was silence for a while, us still just staring at each other, laying in each others arms comfortably.

"I think I'm falling in love with you Y/N"

My breath hitched as she said this. I was undoubtedly in love with her. She was the girl I had been waiting for, my...my...my Mila.

"I love you. I really really love you Cabello" I said kissing her forehead softly. She smiled and snuggled as close to me as physically possible, kissing my shoulder.

"Can I ask you something else please"

I simply nodded

"Do you think we're moving too fast? We met like two months ago and I'm already head over heals for you. Like, I'm barely an adult and actually picture marrying you and having more kids for Laneys brothers and sisters"

I was quite stunned at this admission. I mean, I would be lying if I said Camila wasn't wife material. She's perfect for me. But to see the commitment and love in her eyes. It took me a minute to process. The silence was palpable and she must have taken this the wrong was as she removed herself from the couch and began to mutter about how stupid she was and how she's actually a psycho girlfriend. That made me laugh. She turned and gave me a sad look. Shit I wasn't laughing at her, she just made me laugh. I quickly got up and picked her up, throwing her over my shoulder. She began to hit my back as I ran upstairs to my room with her still upset. I gently sat her down on the bed, wiping her tears away whilst holding her line of sight

"Baby?"

She continued to silently cry as I tried to formulate the words I so desperately needed to say

"I love you, I'm in love with you. I think I started falling the day I met you." I told her truthfully

"You might just be the single greatest woman I've ever met, I'm flawed by you. Honestly, down the line, in a few years time. I would be honoured to be called your husband. And any kid with your genetics is going to be the cutest kid ever" at this she chuckled.

"I don't think we're going to fast. It may seem that way, but I can't think of anything worse than suppressing my feelings for you. I want the entire world to know how much I love you. You're my girl and I'm so happy I get to be in your life.

"I love you too Y/N"

At that we kissed. A slow, passionate kiss. I never really understood how people said you could convey emotions through a kiss but god was I trying to. I needed her to know everything. Every single spec of emotion that she forges in me. I held her face gently in my hands, keeping the kiss as slow and romantic as humanly possible. The kiss came to a natural end, her pulling away slightly to rest her forehead against mine, wrapping her arms around my neck. With her sitting on the bed and me kneeling on the floor, we were at a perfect height. I could feel her uneven breathing against my skin, sending a chill down my spine.

"Make love to me"

It wasn't a question, nor a statement. This was her asking her deepest desire.

And we made love, not sex, not a quick fuck. It was, love.
