Camila's POV

The moment her arms wrapped around me, I had the strange feeling that I don't want her to let me go again.

Her hand came up to my hair, joining me even more to her, her suitcase had fallen to the side the moment I crashed into her body, forcing her to hold me, the tears already invaded my face and I couldn't believe that I was really with she. Again.

I moved a bit away, to see her face, for God's sake, she's so pretty.

Her green eyes, bathed in tears, with the same devastating effect as always.

Her face had more strokes, like a woman. Her hair loose and disheveled. I could n't believe that now she is only mine.

"Hi, my love" she greeted, drying the tears on my face.

"I can't believe you're here." I touched her face, just to be sure I wasn't dreaming.

"I warned you that it would come, you weren't going to get rid of me so easily." she said smiling "hm, how about we leave the airport? I don't understand much what they say, but I think it's already happened like three people cursing us for being half way."

"What is the problem of those people!? They don't let me or have my moment"
I demanded, making her laugh.

My hands were still trembling, Lauren intertwined our fingers, took the suitcase with the other and we stepped aside. "Come here, I'll introduce you to my mom."

"Already like this? I almost haven't arrived yet and I'm going to meet my mother-in-law?" she pretended to be terrified, tearing up my first laugh.

With all the nerves, I had forgotten that she has that power to reassure me. To make me feel calm.

"Yes, but your mother-in-law does not speak any English, so I think communication between you will be very restricted."

"Hm, but we both have you. So you can be our translator" she said and smiled "also, my role here is to beat my in-laws"
I closed my eyes, laughing.

"I thought it was being with me." I said dramaticallt

"Also, crafty" she hugged me from behind, squeezing my nose and I smiled "It's more, I'll think about it, because I did not even win my kiss when I arrived."

"Of course you didn't win it, you broke all the time taking me out of the middle of the airport." I joked. The grace of when someone comes from far away is to stay there in the middle of the people, kind of the scenes of the movies.

"My God, I broke your Hollywood moment." she stuck out her tongue and we stopped in front of my mom.

"Mami, ella es Lauren" I said in Spanish (Mami she's Lauren)

"Lauren, this is my mum"I said now in English.

She was practiced, hugged her, as a greeting, instead of just talking.

"Ella es muy bonita Camila" my mom commented, seeing Lauren.

"Lo sé" I gloated, smiling.

"Hey, this isn't fair, I don't understand anything." Lauren made a beautiful tantrum, making me laugh.

"She said you're cute" I reported while we were heading towards the car.

"Oh, how cute your mom is" she smiled
"tell her that now I know where such beauty came from" I closed my eyes and spoke. This being a translator is already making me nervous

We got into the car, I went in the front seat, unable to be with Lauren, who saw everything with curiosity, frowning at the plates she couldn't read.

"Don't think I do not know you're spying on me in the rearview mirror" Lauren said

"You look so tourist" I finished laughing.

"I'll ask for a walk around the city like we did in Miami" she said, smiling.

"You should  know that there aren't as many things to visit here as in Miami.
But I think I can take you to the corner market. "

"So fun..." she murmured, making me laugh.

"Be prepared Lauren, there is a line of people who want to meet you." I warned, and she smiled.

"I get along well with people" She said and winked

We got off the car, she held my hand at the same moment, I saw her tenderly and smiled. I know how it feels, how it is to be in a country different from yours. And I also know how we missed each other. That's why that need to be touching her every second.

"Very nice, I'm nervous.." she admitted.

"With what my love?" I asked, pressing the button on the elevator.

"Of course, I don't please people" she bit her lips "and more than I can't communicate with them."

"Don't be silly, you will be okay"
I tightened her hand, slightly "and if you don't like them, which isn't going to happen, it doesn't matter, to whom you have to like is me." I winked.

"Just in case I brought some gifts" she announced, making me laugh "really, I went to the mall with Taylor, first and last time I do that by the way"she said and rolled her eyes "she took hours..."

"I miss her" I said and sighed.

"I swear I almost brought her in the suitcase" she smiled.

We arrived at my apartment, my mom just watched us, smiling at certain times.

Although I didn't understand anything.
