-Amira's pov-

I'm feeling groggy after a dreamless sleep. I drag my hand up to tuck my hair away from my face.

I soon realise I'm spooned in Camilo's arms, I start freaking out like any sane person.

Since I was secretly shipping Camilo and Erika, I'd denied him hugs or anything like that. So I remembered us falling asleep next to eachother, no physical contact.

This sneaky doofus.

I wince as his excessive amount of hair tickles the side of my collar, also sneaking under my jaw. I can feel his face buried into the spine of my neck, snoozing peacefully.

I repeatedly attempt to wiggle free from his grasp, failing over and over again.

'Going somewhere?'

He smugly speaks up.

'My mama is going to come in here to wake me up for school, you idiot.'

'When?'

'...an hour.'

'So we've got an hour, let's make the most of it!' He nudges his body nearer to mine, snuggling in close.

'Argh, you are literally the worst.'

'I'm the best. By the way, did you like that super awesome book I got you?' Camilo reminds me.

'Well... yeah. Okay fine just shut up,' I give in, relaxing my tense muscles.

As I'm easing my body, I begin to grow fond of his warm arms cradling me.

You're my best friend, I couldn't express my gratitude enough Camilo.

I love you, platonically.

-Camilo's pov-

I love her, in a way I couldn't describe.

But yesterday's events had me reconsidering things.

Maybe she's right... maybe I should stop trying. Maybe I should just give up trying to create my own future.

For the longest time I'd tried my best not to get in a relationship with any girl who'd taken an interest in me before we even knew each other.

But now, it just feels like I'm delaying the inevitable. Abuela will choose a charming girl picked based on family alone, and I'll have to spend the rest of my life with whoever that is. Whether I like her or not, it's not like I have a choice.

Something is better than nothing.

Despite the whole situation from last year, with casita falling apart and what not, Abuela hadn't completely abandoned her old ways. She was still pestering me about the fact that I'm next to find someone suitable, as Dolores and Isa had married into respectable families. Luisa was engaged.

Abuela was giving me a bit of free-range in my decision, but I knew if I took too long she'd just go ahead and take matters into her own hands. Or if she found someone first.

I don't think she's realised the error of her ways yet, Abuela probably just wants her grandchildren to have the love she'd lost.

I doubt it'd end up being Amira she wants for me. I also doubt that I'd be the one Amira wants.

But...

If I can't have Amira, then I'll make sure whoever loves her will take great care of her. I'll make sure he treats her with respect, love, affection, and everything she deserves.
