Cupid Must Be Drunk (Camren)

6

..Camila was walking down the all too familiar hallway of their office. It has been a year since she started working here and she could definitely say that she's enjoying it. The people here were nice to her and the ambiance in their office is kind of light so there's really no pressure. She's grateful that she's making quite a name for herself and she's proud of it since she worked to be where she is now.

"Oops! I'm sorry, Cheechee! I didn't see you." She apologized to her tall bestfriend who she bumped into.

"It's fine! Dont worry your cute lil butt." Dinah joked. "Going home now?"

"Yeah! I decided to finally call it a day since I'm almost done with my material for tomorrow's show. I'll just put the finishing touches at home. You?"

"Heading home as well. You know, you should relax a bit. The reason why we have researchers and writers is to make our lives easier. You don't have do it yourself."

"I know. It's just that I wanna personalize it. I dont want people messing up with my work." she defended.

"You got a point there. Anyway, are you ready for the BBMA?" the tall girl asked.

"Oh no! Dont remind me!" the smaller brunette groaned clearly not excited about it. "I'd rather sit at home and clean the whole house than be there." Despite the fact that she's a public personality, Camila never really liked too much attention and huge crowds. If anything. She'd rather stay at home, read books and hang out with her baby sister.

"You're such an anti-social. Hahaha!" Dinah laughed. "Seriously I'm kinda amazed how you do so well in front of the camera giving insights and opinions with people watching you despite the fact that you really hate crowds."

"Hate is such a strong word, Di. I dont hate them, I just dont like too much attention." she explained.

"You're weird!" Dinah breathed out. "I can't believe I'm friends with you. Haha!" she finished jokingly making the Latina laugh.

Once they reached the parking lot, they both said their goodbyes and parted ways. Camila opened the door of her black and white mini cooper and drove home. All she wants to do now is to get inside her room and sleep. She still have a lot of things to finish but she really need a nap to take out her mind from today's happenings.

After a few minutes of driving she finally reached the familiar drive way and saw her Mom's car parked at their garage. Ever since her Mom gave birth to Sofia, she toned down her busy work schedule to attend to the youngster's needs. Now, she just work from home and only get out if there's a meeting that she needs to attend. Her Dad insisted on getting a nanny but her Mom declined saying that she wants to see every little milestone of their child and that was enough to make her Dad shut up.

Camila parked her car beside her Mom's vehicle and got out of it carrying her bag on her right hand and her coat on the other. With quick steps, she trudge the pathway leading to their front door. She draped the coat that she was holfing on her shoulder so that she could fish out the key to their house. Once done, she inserted the key and opened the door. She was instantly met by warmth and comfort that only their house provide. With a contented sigh, she went to their living room and saw her adorable little sister watching Dora the explorer wearing a yellow onesie and holding her stuffed toy on her right hand. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of her sister. Quietly, she placed down her bag and coat and walk behind Sofi who was so engrossed in the show that she didn't even realize that she has an audience.

"BOOOO!!!!" Camila shouted from behind which made the little girl squeal loudly and drastically spin around from where she's standing looking for the culprit.

"Mila! Bad!" Sofi placed her hand on her hip and her head cocked slightly on the left.

The older girl couldn't help but chuckle at the toddler's antics. She knelt in front of the girl to match her size.

"I'm sorry, baby. I didn't mean to scare you. You just look so cute." she said with a pout and pulled the kid for a hug. "I missed you."

"Miss you more!" Sofi answered and hugged her sister back.

"Oh, you're already here." Sinu said as she appears from the kitchen and saw her kids. "You're early. Dinner's not yet ready."

"Yeah. I took an early out. I feels so suffocated in the office." the brunette answered while stroking Sofi's brown hair.

"And why is that?" Her Mom asked after taking a seat on the couch.

"You know how BBMA is just a round the corner, right? Apparently, the company doesn't want the newbies to do the interview so to make the story short they kinda pushed me in to doing it and you know me, I hate being around these famous people. Dont want their big heads rubbing off on me." She finished. Camila took a seat next to her Mom and leaned her back on the couch, her eyes still locked at her little sister's figure.

"You're funny, Mija. You work as a showbiz reporter for what, a year now and here you are saying that. You know that it's part of your job. It's inevitable for you not to meet them up close and personal." Sinu finished with slight amusement in her voice.

"But it's different. I work in the studio. I was never sent to work in the field." her eldest child groaned.

"Stop being a baby and suck it up. That's the job that you chose so you have to endure the things that you dont like." Her Mom answered after patting her daughter's thigh and slowly got up from the couch and went back to their kitchen.

"I hate it when you're right." Camila muttered to herself knowing that she just lost the argument. Her Mom's right. She chose to do this so she really needs to man up and do what she was told.

"Mila dance!" Sofi said while wobbling to the song that Dora and Boots were singing. Camila couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of the child so not even thinking twice, she once again knelt right beside the girl and danced with her until the song finished. Apparently, after a few minutes of dancing, singing, jumping and playing around, the little girl threw herself at her big sister and buried her face to her neck before yawning.

"Oh! Look who's tired." Camila exclaimed lifting the little girl and moving towards the kitchen. "Mom, I'll put Sofi to bed. Looks like this silly goober will not be able to join us for dinner. She's so worn out."

The woman turned her back to the meal that she was cooking to face her daughters. " Yeah, take her too bed. I'm sure she wont be awake 'til tomorrow. I'll prepare a bottle for her in case she gets hungry. Change your clothes Mila. Dinner is almost done. Your Dad will be late so it's just the two of us tonight."

"Oh, okay. I'll be back in a few." with that Camila took the stairs and went to her sister's room and settled her down. Kissing the girls forehead before going down the stairs and helping her Mom with their dinner.
