chapter two

Camila impatiently bounced her leg up and down as she waited for job interview call.
Again.

Just as one girl came out of the office, assist who sat in the table next to the door called her name.

"Camila Cabello"

Cuban girl stood up, throwing bag up on her shoulder she went inside.
Assist girl gave her no look as she went in.

"Good afternoon sir" the man gave her weird look and offered her to sit down.

"You brought a child?" Man asked Camila as in her lap little girl slept peacefully, Camila sighed.

"On a job interview?"

Camila nodded her head "yes sir, I'm sorry. But there was no one to take care of her, my friend is working she's a teacher and -" she stopped as realized she is rambling.

She isn't getting this job already, she sees it.
Starbucks payment isn't that bad right?
She could pay rent from it, eat maybe buy few stuff for herself.

McDonald's or Starbucks?

"Is that how's going to be when you start working?" Man politely asked her and she actually didn't know.
She held little girl close to her chest as she said "n-o sir, it would be different"

"Convince me, because Camila - can I call you Camila?" She nodded with small smile "I've seen your work, your files are pretty amazing - I like them, a lot"

Her smile grew bigger at the mention someone actually liked her history, wow.
"But -" he nodded towards sleeping figure in her arms.

"We'll call you" man said and stood up, Camila gathered her things together and shook hands with man and headed out. Probably never seeing this room nor building ever again.

She went to her car outside, and in the back she put little girl in her seat, still sleeping.
Camila got in a car, first thing she did was sighed heavily as she sat.

"Oh God" she whispered and felt how tired her eyes are "I need coffee"

She looked behind and saw how little angel slept, holding teddy bear under her cheek as she rested on it.

"Coffee at Starbucks" she started driving "I should probably ask for job, they would give it to me like now" she chuckled and drove to the closest Starbucks.

The day was new day, it started really good actually. She showered had breakfast, watched her favourite show then got ready and went for this job interview.
Sun was peeking behind white not that thick clouds. So much better than rain.

Camila parked in front of the cafe and she looked behind. She was still sleeping.
The windows are black on the car, three minutes couldn't make anyone kidnap her.

"Right" Camila got out, locking the car.

She ordered her drink and waited for her name to be called.
She was kind of zoned out in her own world "Camila" so when waiter called she imagined one voice to call her too.

She paid for coffee and turned around when voice said again "Camila"

She looked up and her heart skipped a beat, those hazel eyes which caused her heart to feel flawless but then broken. She looked at him, he smiled at her so softly, she felt her stomach turn.

"Hi" she breathed out still looking at him.

"Shawn, honey -" Camila's eyes drifted to girl who approached them, her accent made Camila curios.
"Hello" she waved happily towards Camila.

"Amelie this is Camila, Camila this is Amelie my -"

Cuban girl cut him off "nice to meet you" they shook hands shortly.

"Shawn who's this pretty lady" she moved closer to him and locked their fingers together. Camila sadly blinked few times.

"This is Camila Cabello, my um childhood friend" Camila chuckled softly looking down at the floor.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time" he said to the brown girl next to him who had green eyes and long hair. She is looking pretty.

"Oh, that's shame, I bet you two missed each other" Camila smiled, but Shawn knew her, that smile is bitter. Who missed who here, no one actually knew. He didn't know that she still missed him and she didn't even think of how he might miss her.

"Were you two that close?" Camila nodded saying "yeah, we were inseparable from first year of high school"

"That's mysterious, Shawn never told me about you"

Camila rose her eyebrow looking at Shawn who just gulped his shame-made-saliva.
Cuban girl laughed it off "well, it doesn't really matter, it never did"

Amelie had that rich smile, she could buy anyone with it. She's tall and beautiful. Long hair with highlights, small waist and she had sense in fashion. The way she spoke English with that cute accent, made Camila realize that she must be French.
Of course she could pull him.
Foreign languages were his weakness.

"I think you two should catch up - if you two didn't see each other in long time" Camila shocked her head "I don't think that's good idea"

"Why?" She asked confused.

"I am busy, I don't know if I have time" she didn't want herself to sound rude, she added small smile at the end.

"I understand, but I really want to hear stories how Shawn was in high school"
Alright, she is annoying, not because she spoke too much. Maybe it is that. Not a fact that she's hanging on Shawn's arm always looking at him with love eyes and then at her with same because they couldn't fade away easily.

"Amelie, Camila is in hurry, we will try to catch up, would we?" He asked her, looking into her soul that moment.
"We will try"

He smiled at her. She missed that.

"I really like that teddy bear and the purse" Amelie  said smiling looking down at Camila's hand where pink stuff toy was peeking.

Nervously she looked at Shawn who had his look burning into her with curiousity and what was even that -?
Camila swallowed looking at him then her eyes gazed at Amelie "it's present for my friend's child -" she moved hair away.

God she wished Shawn didn't remember her weakness of lying.
"Awh cute - " Starbucks barista called their name and she said that she will take them, she tiptoed and kissed Shawn on the lips quickly what made Camila look away.

When Amelie was gone Camila said "she's pretty" Shawn sighed getting closer to sad girl in front of him but when he saw she took the step back hurt him in most painful way.

"She seems nice and kind" Camila kept and Shawn said "she is"

Camila closed her eyes feeling tears forming.
"I've to go" she tried to get away but he took her by her elbow gently.

"Please" he said looking down at her but she didn't have any strength to look up "can we talk at some point of time?"

"I um - I'll think about it" Camila said softly "messages me, I gave ariana my number if you don't have it anymore"

"Bye Shawn" she quickly looked at him and got away in her car as fast as she could.

She looked behind, she was there and still sleeping. Placing teddy bear next to baby, Camila couldn't believe what happened.

She breathed heavily looking in front of her and then when they came out, holding hands talking happily everything went down.

She felt teardrop on her cheek as her eyes followed them as they walked further away.
Then she started sobbing heavily, she put hand on her lips to keep quite, she couldn't believe after all these years it still hurts the same.
