A week later..
6:00 am, Los Angeles
Camila's POV.
Laying in bed with Alex's strong arms wrapped tightly around my body. My thoughts were of course running wild. I laid there wondering and daydreaming about my old life.
How things were so different before. I used to be so happy, and had a great career along with great friends.
Speaking of friends. I hadn't talk to the any of the girls in a while. Besides Lauren I missed them deeply.
But I thought that maybe today would be a good day to meet up somewhere and catch up.
I actually messaged them all last night, asking if they were free. Lucky for me they are. They almost couldn't believe it was me.
Carefully getting up from under Alex's arms and scooting my way off the bed. But before I could get up good I felt a tight grip on my left thigh.
"Where you think you going?" I trembled nervously just at the sound of his voice.
"Uh I-I'm going to get into the shower."
I sat very much like a statue. Hearing the bed squeak quietly, before feeling his warm breath on the back of my neck.
"You just make sure you hurry your ass back."
I nodded.
"I can't hear you."
"Yes- I will be right back."
He sat up more laying over on his elbow. "You know I love you don't you?"
Instead of saying anything I just sat there letting him continue to talk.
"You should. I know I can be kinda overprotective at times. But-" He pauses and I feel his hand slowly grab my chin turning my head to him. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous right now.
I stared in his dark eyes as he stared in mine. "But, it's only because I love you. Ok?"
"I-I love you too Alex." He nodded with a small smile on his face. "I do." My hand slowly ran down his face.
"Good." He said before pulling me by my neck crashing his lips into mine. I of course kissed back. "Now go take your shower babe."
I silently thanked him. This is really nothing new. Alex can be super sweet when he wants to. It's only when things don't go as he likes, when he gets aggravated.
Getting up I ran me a hot shower. I know it's kinda early now but I'm so anxious, I had to start my day as soon as possible. Now that I woke Alex up. I don't have much of a choice.
Standing in the shower my thoughts drove me back to the girls.
I haven't really been in contact with any of the girls lately. The last time I believe was about a month after Y/N and I broke up. We talked and they were concerned about me after loosing the baby. It was a rough conversation to have.
Last I remember they tried convincing me to go to counseling with Y/N to get help and closure. But I had Alex there by my side, so there was no need.
I did talk to Mani the other day and she's doing really good with her career. I'm so proud of her, and all the girls to be honest. Everything is going wonderful for them as expected. But I don't know, things just feel strange to me.
These girls; Normani, Dinah, and Ally have always been close friends to me. Well more like sisters really. So it hurts me that I have to lie to them and basically hide parts of my life from them.
I trust those girls with my life. But with Alex, I can't see them the way I want to. He's so protective of me that sometimes I think it's too much.
That's one of the reasons I'm not too focused on my music right now. Don't get me wrong, music is my life. But I'm in a relationship now. I have to respect his wishes. I have to be willing to make some compromises. So I do kind of shelter myself some. Away from anyone that Alex believed could jeopardize our relationship.
Standing in this shower under the hot water. I couldn't help but think about what seeing the girls after so long would be like. I mean all happy thoughts of course. But then I think of the possibility of them finding out about Alex of asking me tons of hard questions, I'm not ready to answer.
I know for sure Y/N's name would pop up. Along with all our problems in the previous years.
After getting out the shower I got dressed and made my way into Royalty's room.
I walked into Royalty's room waking her up to get her dressed. Y/N flew her back out last night like she's promised. I was happy to see my baby. She was away from me for a bit. Longer than I'm sometimes comfortable with. But I know I have to deal with it.
"G'mornin mommy!" She yelled smiling up at me. My baby is so sweet, she's always smiling and happy everyday.
The smile on my face grew as I made my way over to her. "Good morning baby, lets get up and get dressed." I said as I lifted her small body up from under her princess sheets.
"Mommy, where we go?"
I finished pulling on her shirt and putting her little shoes on. "We're going to see auntie Mani, DJ, and Ally today babe."
Watching her eyes grow big and sparkle with excitement. I smiled. "Really mommy! I miss dem soooo much!" She clapped with a bright smile on her face.
I laughed nodding at her excitement. I leaned over placing a kiss on her forehead before standing up.
"Aw I know mija, they miss you sooo much too." I said as I pinched her cheeks. which was true. Dinah made sure to let me know that if I didn't bring Royalty to see them. She's going to personally beat my ass.
She cheesed hugging her body to my leg looking up at me.
"We go now mommy?"
I nodded. "In just a minute babe, you stay right here while mommy goes and grabs something really quick. Ok?"
She nodded as she picked up one of her dolls.
"K mommy, I waits on you."
I smiled at her before slightly closing her door making my way down the steps.
"Where are you going?"
"God babe d-don't scare me like that."
I could see the look on his face, this strange look in his eyes and I couldn't tell if he was still sleepy or pissed.
"You didn't answer my question Camila." His voice was so deep it literally sent chills down my spine.
"Oh, well Royalty and I are going to go and visit a few of my old friends. Remember my band mates." I said quickly biting down on my lip.
He shook his head as if he didn't believe me.
"Your trying to go over to your ex's house huh?"
I frowned. "No Alex, why would I when Y/N just dropped Royalty off. I have no reason to."
I tried walking past him but he blocked me and pushed me back. He grabbed my face in his hands making me look up at him.
"You're not going anywhere." He demanded and I tried my best to push him off of me.
"Babe calm down, it's just a few friends." I explained starting to walk down the stairs. Before I could get too far he yanked me back into him, keeping his hold on my arm.
"I don't give a fuck who it is! I said you're not going!" I flenched back feeling myself start to shake.
"B-but."
"Camila! If you don't take your dumb ass back up there and get in that bed, you're going to regret it!"
Staring up at him I could tell he meant every word he said. God I really need to call Y/N.
I gulped back my tears and nodded. "I-ok."
He threw my arm from his grip and stood there mugging me watching my every move. Rushing back upstairs I saw Royalty standing at the top with a tears down her face.
"Oh baby, what's the matter?"
She pointed her little finger towards the stairs. "He a bad man mommy."
I closed my eyes tightly before bringing her into my arms.
"It's ok baby, come on you can lay down with mommy."
"Shhh shh, calm down baby, mommy is ok." I whispered softly into her hair as I rocker her.
"I wan my momma." She cried in my neck.
"Me too baby, me too" I whispered while running my fingers through her hair.
I silently rocked us back and forth thinking over everything that's been happening.
"We're gonna get momma baby." I whispered taking out my phone. My hands shook as they hovered over Y/N's name. But this had to be done and now.
"Camila, what's up?"
"Y/N are you at home?"
