Strawberries & Cigarettes. Camila/You

Chapter 5

Your Pov

For the past hour and a half all I've been doing is staring at the interview between Charlie and Camila which I will admit is really creepy, and I don't even wanna stare at Camila, Hell I mean Karla But damn

Have you seen her?

"Your so fucking creepy" Dua says causing me to jump up out my seat

"Shut up, You work for me remember?" I say grabbing the white towel off of the bar top twisting it before hitting her in the shoulder as she rolls her eyes rubbing her shoulder

"How could I forget?" Dua asked sarcastically walking away swaying her hips as I watched her walk away I noticed Charlie walking beside him along with Camila from behind him as I swallowed a small lump forming in my throat

I can't believe I'm calling Karla Camila at least in my mind..

"Well Boss it looks like I have a new assistant that's gonna be assisting me at the bar, Along with waitressing every now and again is that cool?" Charlie asks as I see Camila biting her lip in anticipation m kz;      

She always did that when she was nervous as hell, But when I think about it even though we both put each other through insanity in Havana or rather mostly me all I'm doing is giving her a job, Not to mention to a single mother

Who may or may not be raising my child.

I take a deep breath before saying "Well, Okay she starts tonight" I say causing Camila to widen her eyes

"Tonight?" She asks in disbelief as I nod

"My babysitter has to watch another child tonight, I can't leave my son all alone" She says as I close my eyes soon feeling regret for the dumbest thing I am about to say in possibly all my life

"Whydon'tyouletmewatchhimhere?" I ask at a fast pace as they both looked at me raising their eyebrows at me

"Why don't you let me watch him tonight, We can hang in my office I've got a tv in there" I say shutting my eyes again feeling that Charlie is giving me the "Are you serious?" Look

"Do you really wanna watch ou-I mean my son all night?" Camila asks with a pang of hurt in her voice as I felt my eyes just droop before nodding my head

"If you don't mind?" I ask as she looked on at me as I'd she were debating my offer with herself

"What time did you say I need to be here Charlie?"

"Around nine" he says looking at his polished watch once he answered her question she looked me up and down she headed for the door with her heels clicking

"Y/n?"

"Hm?" I hum in response

"You know she-" he says as I raise my hand stopping him before he said anything further

"Charlie today's just not the day for forgiveness regardless of who it is" I say solemnly before lurking back towards my office
Shutting the door behind me

What am I gonna do with her?..

*A Couple of hours later*

"Mijo be good for her okay? Mommy has to work so she's gonna watch over you tonight" Karla says bending down to the small boys size as he nods his head

"This is Santiago, I have some snacks for him in case he gets hungry since we at dinner early" She says dusting him off

"Okay I got this, You just go to work" I say scratching the back of my head as the small boy just stared at me after Karla nodded and walked out of my office

Damn, He's almost as intense as his mother.

We both stood in silence for a moment before he started wondering around my office before stopping in front of the TV

"Tv Pwease?" He said pouting his small lightly chubby cheeks at me making my heart welt up in my chest before I nodded turning the TV on displaying some TV show before I changed the channel sitting back in my office chair

He's so small, Parents practically pray for their kids to stay this young. I don't know if he's truly my son but

It's like he's the perfect mixture of Karla and Me except, he seems like he got his patience from her..

"I'm cold" Santiago says under his breath as I sigh softly getting up wrapping my suit jacket around him covering his tiny frame

And before I knew it he just

Latched onto me.

And started whimpering before looking into my eyes like a bruised and battered puppy saying

"Y did chu mwake mommy cry? I no like it wen peoples hurt my mommy chu the reason she cry evwy night?" He asked before a small tear ran down his cheek

"Every night?"

"Gama said she cried wen an before I gets here" he pouted his head hanging down

What the hell have I done?..

If only I knew, Each little tear shows how much she cared about me...
