Lauren's P.O.V.
After that weird bonfire party I went to with Camila, I haven't seen the young baasketball player. Our parents told us it was best to spend some time apart, something about space making heart grows fonder. It really didn't matter because Camila and I text and Facetime every night. With the semister over and we were on Winter holidays I have had a lot of time on my hands and not being about to to spend quality time with my girl was utter maddening but I have been spending all my time with my family, so much that I'm not at my apartment as often and it's not even decorated.

However, my family and I going to spend Christmas afternoon with the Cabello's. Christopher and I went over to the Cabello's house to exchange girft bags, so on Christmas we can open thier presents and vice versa but I was not allowed to leave my car and Camila wasn't allowed to come outside.

But today is Christmas and nothing and no one is stopping me from seeing and holding my Camila.

Camila's P.O.V.
It's Chrismas! Which means not only I'm spending time with my family but I get to see Lauren today. My abuelita Mercedes, a few anuts and uncles and cousins came over late last night to celebrate the day with us. So, as morning came I got ready and ran downstairs to help my mom, aunts, sisters in the kitchen with breakfast. I was so excited that I was bouncing off the walls that my mother almost ran me out of the kitchen.

Once breakfast was ready we sat as a family and ate togther, afterwards we gathered in the living room to open presents. What had stunned everyone was the present Sofia had got our parents.I know Sofia didn't buy those items but she did pick them out and they must have cost Lauren a fortune.

"Did you help her pay for those?" Sierra asked whispering in my ear but I shook my head.

"Lauren did." I whispered back to her and she looked at me shocked.

"They are beautiful, mija." My dad said and they pulled her into a hug.

After our family finished exchanging gifts my mother pulled out the bag of gifts from the Jauregui family. Sierra had gotten three tickets to Adel's concert, my mother had gotten a Parda bag and my dad had got courtside tickets to the Miami Heats next home game. My mother then handed Sofia a present from Lauren and my jaw hit the floor when she unwrapped the gift, it was a beautiful necklace with a lamp pendant. I got the tag that was inside, it was an Enchanted Disney Jasmine Diamond Accent Lamp necklace.

Sofia squealed in excitement. "Look, look, Kaki. It's so beautiful." She said jumping up and downas showed me the necklace. "Can you put it on me, please?" She asked handing me the necklace then turned around as she held up her hair. I noticed my mother videoing Sofia's reaction and I put the necklace on her.

"Your turn, Camilita." My dad said handing my gift.

"Maybe I should wait until Lauren gets here." I said fidgeting with the box in my hand.

"Don't be foolish, mija. Open it up." My abuela said as my mother was still videoing.

"Okay." I said pulling the wrapper and opened the box. I grasped at the beauty of the necklace.

"Mila, it's beautiful." Sierra said looking over my shoulder to see my present.

"It's a rose like Beauty and the Beast, Kaki." Sofia said admiring the necklace.

"Isn't that your favourite Disney movie, mija?" My dad asked and all I could do was nod because I was speechless.

"It's a Enchanted Disney Bell Diamond Rose necklace." I heard Sierra say as she read the discription that was in the box. "Well, put it on, Mila."

Apparently, I was in slight shock that I couldn't talk and a tear had ran down my cheek. I had handed the necklace to Sierra so she could clasp it around  my neck. I wipped my eyes as I admired the pendant around my neck.
