Malibu Love

Epilogue I

(there will be part two, maybe tomorrow. i'll do the whole sappy shit there.)

Camila walks into the living room to find Alex playing with her phone and Lexa lying across the flooor, watching Princess Moana for the umpteenth time.

"Lexa, mija, get on the couch por favor."

Lexa lets out a sigh but does as she's told, she's does not want to make Camila mad.

"Cami?"

Camila turns around and takes a seat next to Alex.

"What is it buddy?"

"I miss mommy."

"I do too, come here." Camila taps her lap and waits for Alex to climb on it "How about this, we'll call mommy once the dinner is over? Huh?"

"Will you tell her to come home?" Lexi questions

"Love, you know mommy is busy and she won't be home for another few days. But daddy is picking you up tomorrow and you're spending a day with him and aunt Claire, you like her, don't you?"

"I want mommy." Alex whines

"I know you do bug, so do I. C'mon, why don't you go and wash your hands while I set up the table and--"

"Did you make ps-- ps-- psaghetti?" Lexa scrunches up her nose

"I sure did, with meatballs." Camila grins

In an instant Lexi storms off to the bathroom, but Alex doesn't move a bit.

"Alex, please go and wash your hands so I can set the table."

"But--"

"No buts, c'mon, don't start a fight with me now Alex, please. Be nice."

Alex pouts and crosses his arms. "I am nice!"

"Alex," Camils rubs her temples "the sooner you eat, the sooner you'll get to call mommy."

"Pwomise?"

"Pinky promise bug." Camila says and puts her pinky finer out

Alex connects his with her and presses a soft kiss on Camila's finger.

"Okay then."

With one more kiss on Camila's cheek, the boy gets up and walks towards the bathroom.

"Cami? Where's dinner?" Lexa questions as she walks back to the living room

"I'll set it up in a bit, I had to talk to your brother about it for a moment or two."

Lexa nods in understanding.

"Why don't you help me out and get your cups?"

Lexa hums in agreement and follows Camila into the kitchen.

It doesn't take long before the three of them are sitting at the table and eating their food, John Mayer's Slow Dancing In The Burning Room playing from Camila's phone, as per Alex's request.

"I'm done." Alex announces

"You have barely touched your food, you're not done."

"No tengo hambre, quiero hablar con mommy." (I'm not hungry, I wanna talk to mommy.)

"Alex, I told you to finish your dinner and then we'll call mommy."

"No!"

"Alexander Jauregui Collins! Te comes tu comida y te vas a dormir si sigues discutiendo con migo." (You will eat your food and go straight to bed if you keep arguing with me.)
