Your POV

2 Months Later

I smiled as everyone in the room cheered for my girlfriend.

The billboard rankings had just come out and Camila's album had officially debuted at number one on the chart.

It had taken us a little longer than expected to actually finish the album, but Camila was extremely pleased with it and that's what mattered.

I felt a pair of hands cup my cheeks, making me realize Camila was standing in front of the chair I was sitting in.

"You zoned out," she giggled, making me blush.

"Sorry," I smiled. "I was just thinking."

"About what?" She asked, running a hand through my hair.

"How proud I am of you," I smiled.

This time she was the one blushing.

"I couldn't have done all of this without you. You know that, right?"

I knew she meant that with everything in her.

"You could have," I told her. "You just needed to clear up that writers block."

"Yea, and you helped me with that," she smiled. "You were my muse through this whole process."

I ducked my head and heard her giggle. I felt her press a kiss to the side of my head, making me look up at her.

"Thank you," I told her, watching her eyebrows furrow in confusion as to why I was thanking her.

"Thank you for believing in me all those months ago. You were exactly what I needed in my life to get me back on track. I know I've thanked you for all of this before, but I don't think I'll ever really be able to express how grateful I am for you."

Camila was now on the verge of tears, and I would have felt bad if I hadn't known they were happy tears.

I stared at her in admiration. There were almost twenty people in the room, but it felt like it was just the two of us.

"I love you," Camila spoke, making my mouth fall open.

Her words took me completely off guard. My heart exploded in my chest, my stomach doing flips.

A tear fell down her face and I wiped it before pulling her in and kissing her gently.

"I love you, too," I mumbled against her lips when we pulled apart slightly.

Her eyes lit up with happiness as if she didn't expect me to say it back, but I was sure about my feelings.

We had been dating for almost three months and I had never been happier in my life.

She made loving her so easy.

"I have a question," she asked as she sat next to me.

"Go ahead, love," I said, making her smile before she continued.

"I know you've heard about all of the rumors about us, and we've never really talked about how public or private we want to be," she explained. "I just wanted to know how you feel about all of it."

"Has this been on your mind for a while?" I asked, noticing how the words flowed out of her mouth as if they had been practiced.

"Maybe," she bit her lip. "I just want to show you off, but I don't want you to feel like we have no privacy."

I smiled, kissing her gently to get her to calm down. 

"Look, we already act like a couple everywhere we go. It's not like we're really trying to hide this," I explained. "I would like us to be more private when it comes to certain things, but that doesn't mean we have to deny it."

"So, you're okay with the public knowing about us?" She asked, her eyes hopeful.

"Yes, love," I smiled, the nickname rolling off my tongue. "It's not like they don't already know anyways. Your fans notice everything."

"I know. I swear they should work for the FBI," she laughed. "They definitely know we're dating. I've seen a lot of things online about them noticing how much happier I've been these past few months."

"Really?" I asked her.

I didn't have any social media accounts, so unless Camila shows me something online I don't usually know about it.

Honestly, I think I'd rather keep it that way too.

"You said it yourself," she giggled. "They notice everything."

I smiled at her, watching the way the light reflected off of her tan skin. Her white shirt showed a portion of her toned stomach and her jeans complimented her curves perfectly.

She blushed when she realized I was checking her out, putting a finger under my chin and bringing my eyes to meet hers.

"You can explore later. Just celebrate with me and my team for now," she told me.

"Oh, I'll definitely explore later," I said, letting a hand snake around her waist and rub circles in her hip.

She bit her lip, trying to ignore the urge to let me explore right then and there.

"I'm holding you to that promise," she whispered as she stood up, grabbing my hand and dragging me behind her.

I smiled, knowing the girl who was dragging me around the room was mine.

I had never been happier in my life.
