Strawberries & Cigarettes. Camila/You

Chapter 20

8 weeks later..

Camila's Pov

"Camila could you wipe down the bar? It's my turn to check Inventory tonight" Charlie spoke out to me as I watched Y/n rock a sleeping Santiago back and forth after we finally shut the bar down for the night.

"Sure, Go ahead and check" I said sighing as I watched Y/n rest her head on top of his just holding him close almost as if she never wanted to let him go like he was just gonna grow up into a adult tonight and move out tomorrow.

Honestly It's really adorable

She's really adorable..

"If you want to kiss her just go ahead and do it, Take the stress off me" I heard Alex call out to me with a blatant smirk on his face standing beside Muccio as I snap out of my long stare only to turn and glare back at him.

"Shut up Alex, I'm just watching over my boy" I said my cheeks slightly flushed looking away from him and grab a white cloth off one of the tables and head behind the bar towards the small sink soaking it up and wringing it out before grabbing the usual spray bottle cleanser that was used for the tables and such.

"And you're girl by the looks of it, I see you two giving each other googly eyes across the room, the "I need to talk to you in private" conversations, not to mention the so called subliminal flirting between you two that makes me want to throw the hell up" He gagged before I let out a soft giggle as I wiped the bar down and he walked on over.

"I mean I'm no nosy ass brother and what goes on between you two isn't my business but, Have you and Y/n..Had the talk yet?" He asked making me pause for a moment feeling my heart pound loudly against my chest before I turned and looked up at Alex and shook my head as he himself shook his head and groaned deeply and loudly.

"Things between us are pretty civil right now, Why should I tell her my sob story and make her relive what happened in Cuba and what should not have happened in Cuba?" I muttered softly with Alex looking at me with worried eyes, I know how much he cares about his sister and I don't want Y/n to feel even more regretful than when her and him left Cuba.

"Because she needs closure, And I can't tell her because you simply asked and or begged me not to tell her anything about my nephew's existence and what really happened that night" He crosses his arms as he looks back over at Y/n carrying Santiago who is soon headed towards our direction.

"What's up little brother? and..Kind of Pretty Employee" She joked making me playfully roll my eyes while Alex inadvertently rolled his in playful disgust.

"Oh so I'm kind of pretty now?"

"I "kind of" are the safe words that I would use"

"Oh so you use safe words now?" I smirked looking at her as she straightened her shirt out.

"Yeah, I thought you would give me a safe word by now as rough as you are" She winked patting Santiago's back as she did so making Alex practically gag to the third degree.

"Okay enough, This is too dirty for my pure mind and Santi's to handle" he says walking away from both of us in playful disgust patting Santiago's back before doing so.

"You ready to head home Child bearer?" She asks me hoisting Santiago up as I nod my head placing the towel off to the side.

Y/n Grins at some softly as we walk over and grab Santiago's bag off one tables bidding Charlie, Muccio, and Alex goodnight as we leave the bar and head towards Y/n's car as she reaches into her back pocket and hands me the keys to the car so I can open it up and place Santiago safely into his car seat.

After he is safely secured Y/n shuts the door and I hand her the keys and as I am doing so she grabs my and kisses my knuckles softly.

"Thank you"

"For what?" I question raising an eyebrow as she looks into the car at the sight of our sleeping boy as he rests his head to the side with his mouth slightly open.

"Just get in the car cheeseball" I playfully roll my eyes as she chuckles and we hop inside the car with her in the drivers seat and me on the drivers side she starts the car and we pull off and out for the night back to the place in which we now called

Home..

*A few minutes later*

"Camila are you okay?" Y/n asks me looking over at me for a moment before focusing back on the road as I look out onto the street.

"Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind" I say trying to be pretty vague and short.

"Am I one of those things?" She asks grinning a bit as the moonlight just dawns onto her face subtly as I look over at her admiring her for once as she has always admired me

Even back in Cuba..

Even when I hurt her...

"Y/n?"

"Hm?"

"Do you remember what happened March 3, 1989?.." I asked her lowly but loud enough for her to hear as she slowly turned the radio down and the grin on her face fell so quickly and effortlessly the uncomfortable silence so silent

It's as if I could hear her heart sink inch for inch..

Even if we couldn't be together in the beginning, I could never forget how important she will be to me in the end...
