Hands to myself - Selena Gomez
Camila's POV
August 2019
[C: I arrived, love you]
I texted my mom when I got off the plane in New York. I was 22 but I was so used to having my mom around because of my career that sometimes it was weird to fly alone. This was a special ocassion though, and I needed to come alone.
I had flown overnight and because of timezones, it was too early and the sun was not up yet. It was good, this way there were not paparazzis around, not like in LAX. I got my lugagge and a car took me to the airbnb I had rented. The place was beautiful but I was still tired from the plane so I decided to sleep a bit, Shawn was probably asleep as well. Plus, I had been having problems sleeping, so I should take advantage of this opportunity.
[C: I'm here and you're gonna love it. Can't wait to see you. Call me when you wake up]
I plugged my phone and turned off the silent mode so I would actually hear it when Shawn called.
The last days had been mentally and emotional exhausting for a number of reasons. I was battling demons I thought I had put on the past, but I was doing my best to defeat them on my own. All I wanted to do was to disconnect myself from the outside world and spend time with my boyfriend on his birthday, but before that I needed to sleep.
I felt like I had just blinked but the sun was completely out when I opened my eyes looking for my phone that was ringing.
"Hey", I began to say but a yawn interrupted me.
"Hi. So you're here..." Shawn's voice sounded soothing and comforting. I instantly felt more at peace.
"I am", I smiled and told him. "Where are you?"
"Outside", he said casually.
"Outside?", I wondered out loud.
"Yeah, outside your door".
"Shawn", I exclaimed jumping out of bed and running towards the front door. "You should've started with that".
"I started with 'hi', that's what people do", he said as I opened the door and he got out a black SUV.
I hung the phone and waited for him to come inside. There was no one around, no paps at least, but I still urged him to hurry because I just wanted him all to myself.
"Hi", I said when he closed the door behind him and laid his back on it. His eyes looked dangerous.
"Did you get some rest?", he asked.
"Mhm", I nodded. He knew what was happening.
"Good, because I have a lot of things in mind for us these days".
"Is that so?", I said taking some steps back. He stood up straight and looked at me with warning eyes while I slowly started to walk away from him.
"Don't even try to get away from me. I'm the birthday boy".
"Not until tomorrow", I replied and he eyed me shaking his head.
I ran when I noticed he was ready to jump on me but I didn't get too far because I went inside the bedroom and I had nowhere else to hide. He grabbed me in his arms and put me on the bed while I laughed like a crazy person. This was all the endorphin I needed and it hadn't even passed 10 minutes.
"I missed you", he said hovering over me with a cute smile.
"I missed you too", I said holding his face with my hands.
