I wake up before Camila and I just admire her beauty, I begin to run my fingers through her hair and caress her cheekbone.
I reminisce about last night, I swear every time we make love is a different amazing experience. I could never get tired of it, honestly.
"Buenos días, mi amor." Camila mumbles in her sleep and then wakes up with the brightest smile.
"Buenos días, baby." I smile. "¡Ven vamos a bañarnos!" I pick her up and take her to the bathroom.
After we shower together and all, we are sitting down in the dining room having breakfast that Emily brought, she just came. It's nine in the morning and Camila and Emily have to be at the airport at three in the afternoon.
"Por fin no los interrumpí ya que no dormí aquí si no con William." Emily speaks. "Veo que se la pasaron bien." She smirks and we all laugh.
"¿Quien las va a llevar al aeropuerto?" I ask them. "Yo las puedo llevar."
"Estaría perfecto, gracias Zabdi." Camila says.
"Vales mil, never change!" Emily mimics Camila causing me to laugh and Camila to roll her eyes.
"Cero que me influye." Camila says to Emily causing me to laugh even harder.
The rest of the time we have is spent just relaxing at Camila's house before I drop them off at the airport. Good thing that Camila already has everything packed and we can spend more of the time we have together. We stay in her room in her bed talking until it's two.
I help put all their luggage in my car and then I drive them to the airport.
"Me dan ganas de ni llevarte al aeropuerto y llevarte conmigo a Puerto Rico, no sé cómo voy sobrevivir tantos días sin tu calor." I say to Camila and hold her hand as I'm driving. Especially after what happened last night, it's going to be hard to be without her for some days.
"Hello guys! Acuérdense que estoy aquí! No empiecen de calenturientos, que no tuvieron suficiente a noche?" Emily playfully scolds us.
An hour later at the airport and they announce that the plane to Los Angeles in now boarding. I hug Emily goodbye and then she leaves Camila and I alone.
"Como te voy a extrañar Camila." I frown. I don't want to be separated from her especially since we just got back together but I understand.
"Yo más Zabdiel." She says. "Pero no te pongas triste, pronto nos veremos." She says while hugging me.
"Dios te me cuide, te amo!" I lean in to kiss her.
"Te amo, adiós mi amor!" She says.
"Bye entonces, salúdame a tu familia." I hug her once again.
When we are both walking our separate ways we turn back and hug each other one last time.
"Feliz Navidad, mi vida." I say to her.
"Feliz Navidad, disfruta tus vacaciones en Puerto Rico que te las mereces." She looks me in the eyes. "Y compórtate allá, que yo de todo me entero."
"Ay la celosa!" I laugh. "Yo solo tengo ojos pa' usted. ¿Tú no crees que yo no estoy celoso?" We kiss each other one more time and then finally go our separate ways as she boards the plane.
I would've loved if Camila would've came with me to Puerto Rico but I know she needs time with her family like I do. I'll just take her another time with me.

Camila
Gerardo just picked me and Emily up from LAX. It's only four in the afternoon and I'm glad that I'm not tired from the flight.
"Esta toda la familia allá en la casa." Gerardo says to us as he's driving.
"¡Que emoción!" Emily says happily.
"Si las extrañábamos mucho." He says to Emily.
"Ya tenía ganas de venir pa' acá." I say as I look out the window. I missed this beautiful city so much.
"Oye Camila, te pasaste." Gerardo shakes his head.
"¿De que me pase?" I playfully roll my eyes.
"En la final de La Banda le mande un WhatsApp a Zabdiel felicitándolo y luego le pregunté qué fue ese beso de ustedes en la tele," he explains. "Me dijo que ya regresaron juntos, ¿cómo no me lo pudiste contar?"
"Sorry, es que estuve muy ocupada. Pero sí, ya somos novios de nuevo." I say with a smile.
"Me da gusto sabes? Se nota cuánto te ama." He says. "¿Y que pasó con Erick? ¿Como lo tomo?"
"Al principio si lloro mucho pero Erick es un chico muy maduro y entendió todo. Ya solo somos amigos y lo quiero mucho pero como amigo por su puesto." I explain.
"Pobrecito el Erick Brian. Que no se preocupe Erick, tiene un chingo de morras que quieren andar con él." He says. "Y además, tú estabas un poco grande pa' él. Pinche cougar a la verga." He teases me.
"Cállate, si solo son tres años de diferencia." I defend myself. "Y como yo no te dije nada cuando andabas con una de diecisiete años, ósea una de mi edad."
"Si solo tengo viente años." He flips me off.
"Como extrañaba las peleas entre nosotros." Emily says and we all laugh.
When we get home, a lot of my family is there and we're having a cookout. I greet all my tias, tios, cousins before going with my parents.
"Mami! Papi!" Emily and I say in unison and run to our parents.
While Emily is talking to our parents, I call Zabdiel since he told me to call him when I got here.
"Hola." Zabdiel answers.
"Hola amor, nomás te quería avisar que gracias a dios ya llegue." I say.
"¡Qué buena noticia! Como te fue en el viaje?" He asks me.
"Súper bien." I answer and tell him about it. "Dios te me bendiga mañana y que te valla bien en tu vuelo pa' Puerto Rico. Me saludas a tu mami y papi." We stay on the phone a little bit longer and then we say our goodbyes and I love you's and then the call ends.
"Ese beso que se dieron Zabdiel y tú en la televisión se significa que ya volvieron?" My dad asks.
"Sí pero aún no lo hemos confirmado ante el público y así lo queremos mantener por algún tiempo." I explain.
"Tú mirada se mira más feliz ahora." My mom points out and smiles.
"No sabes lo feliz que estoy." I say.
"Ojalá te trate bien..." My dad warns.
"Por eso no te preocupes. Vamos a disfrutar con la familia." I say and we go to the backyard to spend time with the rest of the family.

Today, my mom and I are currently on a flight to Puerto Rico. Family who's already at the airport have told us that there are many people waiting for my arrival.
It's an amazing feeling when I'm at the airport of Puerto Rico, many people are there cheering for me. I take pictures with these lovely people and meet them and then I go home.
"¡Como extrañe mi casa!" I say to my mom as I walk in my house.
I really missed my house and Puerto Rico, I've been away for too long. Now to enjoy my break.

My break in Puerto Rico was amazing and overall relaxing, I got to spend a lot of time with the family. I talked to Camila everyday which helped me not miss her too much.
Today I landed in New York City. I'm at the hotel I'm sharing with Christopher while Richard has his own room and Joel and Erick are in their own rooms with their moms since they're the only ones under 18 in the band. The boys and I decide to have dinner together and enjoy our rest of the night here since we have rehearsals tomorrow.
"¿Como pasaron su Navidad?" Christopher asks us as we're all seated in the restaurant. We kept in contact these days but he's asking us since we're now all in person. We all talk about how we just spent these days with our families and how we slept a lot.
"Yo pensé que te ibas a robar a Cami y llevártela a Puerto Rico contigo." Richard laughs.
"Eso tenía planeado." I joke. After dinner we walk around and explore Times Square.
"Wow chicos, en unos días nos presentaremos en frente de aproximadamente un millón de personas." Erick says in awe.
"This is a dream come true, lo logramos." Joel says and we all agree.
