Meant to be - Bebe Rexha, Florida Georgia Line
Camila's POV
June 2019
"That was embarrassing", Shawn said on our videocall after trying a joined Instagram live and failing.
"Oh my God, we're idiots", I laughed out loud.
"How can we not know how to work technology?", he wondered frustrated.
"That was fun though".
"Yeah, I guess. But I was so stressed", he said touching his hair.
"Me too, I was going out of my mind".
"I'm glad it's done and the song is out".
"Our socials will blow up when they see the video in a few minutes".
"I can't wait but I'm also worried", he said.
"I know... me too".
"You don't know how fucking nervous I was when when we shot the video".
"You? I was literally shaking!", I told him.
"You played it so cool...", he chuckled.
"You ran away too many times to notice".
"Yeah, well I just needed to... calm down", he blushed.
Our socials did blow up after the video and fans were crazy. I wasn't using my accounts because social media wasn't a good place for me, but Shawn was sending some of the comments. People were shocked in a good way, or at least that was what I was reading.
Anxiety from seeing Shawn again was eating me alive. I couldn't wait but I also didn't know how we were going to act. We've been talking every day but it was the physical reaction that I was fearing. Pretty much all I wanted to do was to jump on him but I didn't want to scare him away, we were in a weird kinda innocent but flirty situation. I thought about just sending him my latest songs and let them talk for me, but we had done that before too many times. I guess the best thing to do was to wait and let things happen. In the meantime, I was going to overthink everything because that was what I did best apparently.
"I have someone for you", my mom said some days after, coming to my room and looking concerned. She offered me her phone.
"What? Who?", I asked her.
"Matthew", she mouthed silently.
I grabbed the phone unsure of what was going on. I hadn't talked to him since that last call in which we parted ways.
"What the fuck was that?", he said when I answered the call.
"What are you talking about?", I asked back.
"You want to make me look like a fool, don't you?".
"You're making no sense. We haven't talked in weeks and you call me all mad to say this? Are you kidding me?", I said annoyed.
"I can't believe you. You were always hot for him, right? That video is ridiculous and your stupid fans are harassing me for it".
Shit.
"I... I'm... sorry for it", I said not knowing what to do about that last accusation.
"You couldn't do something else? Something that didn't involve almost licking each other's faces?", he groaned.
"That's stupid and you know it. I'm sorry people are going after you but my work has nothing to do with it. We did a music video according to the song and I'm not going to apologize for my art", I snapped back.
