Camila's POV

I wake up to the sun bleeding through the blinds, leaving rainbow reflections on the wall. I turn over to see Shawn's bare back, his hair messy. He's leaving to go on tour again today, a day I've been dreading for weeks now. We've basically spent every day together, trying to make up for lost time in advance. I hate it when he goes away for so long. I'm always so happy to see him pursue his passion and his love for music but it hurts so much to be separated for so long.

I trace my finger lightly down Shawn's spine, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He groans as he turns over to face me. He rubs his eyes lazily before placing his hand under my chin, his thumb gliding along my bottom lip. "Good morning, beautiful." He croaks, his voice so deep, as it always is when he first wakes up.

"Not a good morning." I say to him, pouting playfully. "I know... Hey-" he says lifting my chin up so our eyes meet again. I try to smile but Shawn sees right through me, knowing how I really feel. "2 months, then I'll be home for a little while and I won't let you leave my side. I promise, baby." He says, trying to comfort me.

He grabs my waist and slides me on top of him, his strength never ceases to amaze me. I place my arms horizontally on his chest, resting my head on my hands, looking straight at Shawn. He tucks my hair behind my ear, gazing at me like I'm the most expensive piece of artwork to exist. "Waking up alone, in a big, empty, white hotel bed, is going to hurt like hell." He continues to brush my cheek with his soft, warm thumb.

The feelings of sadness are becoming overwhelming, forcing me to remain silent. Instead of replying, I softly place my lips on Shawn's and clench my eyes shut, wanting to feel every sensation. He places both of his hands in my hair, holding me close to him. After a while, we both pull away, breathless. Shawn brings my forehead to rest on his.

"Fuck, Camila. I don't know how I'm going to do it this time." Shawn says quietly, his voice weak and unsteady. I place my head on his chest, just wanting to lay here forever. "Can you leave one of your t-shirts here for me to wear to bed so it feels like you're with me?" I ask him, my eyes closed, my ears listening to his fast heart beat.

"Mhm. Wait, actually I wanted to give you this as well." He rolls us both onto our sides, reaching over the top of me to grab his t-shirt before sliding out of bed. He walks over to his wardrobe, digging in the back to reach for something I am unaware of. My eyes follow the tensing muscles on his back as they contract and relax, making my heart pound. I have a soft spot for his back, obviously.

"Okay. Close your eyes. I mean it, close them!" Shawn demands me, his back still facing towards me. I do as I am told, covering my eyes with my hands, anticipation already killing me. I feel Shawn's weight over the top of me as I twist beneath him, being held by his legs on either side of me. I let out a laugh, feeling both ridiculous and nervous.

"Okay, you can open them," he says, placing a hand on my wrist. As he comes back into focus, I take in the cutest smile I've ever set my eyes on and in his hands he's holding his stuffed toy lion. "It's Leo!" I say, smiling at him. I know just how much Shawn loves Leo because he's literally travelled to so many countries and been at so many of Shawn's shows. "If you keep him with you and sleep with him, it means that I know you're warm and not lonely and happier and that will make me happy." Shawn says in a quiet voice, looking me straight in the eyes as he holds Leo close to his chest.

I gently take Leo out of Shawn's hands and place him to the side. My hands trail from Shawn's biceps to his neck as I bring him closer to me. His face hovers so close to mine, his hands on either side of my shoulders to support himself. I can feel his breath against my lips, making them tingle slightly. I stare at his lips, his perfect lips, as I bite my own.

"Camila... you know I can't handle it when you do that." Shawn says, his voice deep and filled with desire. "I'm sorry. Sorry. I just... How are you so incredibly passionate and caring and-" My tangent is interrupted by Shawn crashing his lips into mine, intertwining his hands in my hair. Shawn rolls over, not breaking the kiss as I follow him.

"Oh, shit, Leo." He mumbles onto my lips as he pulls Leo out from underneath him, making us both laugh. I drop my head, fear of Shawn leaving flooding back to me. Shawn places a kiss on my forehead as I try to stop the tears from leaving my eyelids. He wraps both of his arms around me and holds me tight against his heated body. He removes one of his arms from around me and brings it back with his grip on Leo. He places Leo in between our bodies.

"Leo will always keep us together, even if it's only in thought or feeling. Just hug him and he'll pour out some of my love for you." Shawn says. I place my head on top of Leo, just trying to stay in this moment forever. "2 months. That's all we've gotta do. 2 months and then I'll be back to love you." He says.

"Good rhyming, Shawn. You should put that in a song, babe." I say, looking up again at Shawn, a smirk on my face. "You're sooo funny." Shawn remarks sarcastically. "And I'll miss you for it. I'll miss everything about you. Just two months." He says as if he's trying to convince himself it won't be that long. I hug him tighter, heating up Leo with both of our body heat. At least I'll have Leo.
