after all this time?

good night, cariño

Camila's POV

It was my fourth interview just today. The "this is a love letter" album was released just a few hours ago and I got great numbers so far, that's good because I'm going on tour in five days. But most important, Lauren loved it. She was up all night with me on the phone listening to it.

- How was the writing process?

That is a good question that no one did so far.

- Well, I think it was very natural. I felt the words coming almost like it wasn't me writing it, it was the universe, you know?

- I have to confess I thought this album was going to be really different

The man interviewing me was a little shy.

- Yeah, I was going to do a very commercial album. It was almost ready. I'm sure it would play on every club of this city

- And when did you change your mind?

So many memories crossing through my mind. When I saw Lauren going to her car, when I decided to not leave with Shawn to see her, when she picked me up for the first time and took me to the beach...

- I don't know exactly when...

I looked back to my hands, my ring shining back the studio lights.

- But I knew I couldn't ignore what I was feeling. This is definitely my most emotional and personal album

Someone on the studio said he had only one more question.

- Camila, I'm a fan since fifth harmony, so may I ask you... is camren real?

I laughed hard, wasn't expecting that question.

- Yeah, camren is definitely real!

...

- Hi cariño

Lauren called me when I got back from the shower.

- How was your day?

I put it on voice speaker so I could put my pajamas on.

- It was long, I'm tired. Worked a lot

- Yeah, I can imagine. I've been thinking about a few things

- What?

I got myself under the blankets and closed my eyes, focusing on Lauren's voice.

- I was watching that movie you told me about

My eyes were getting heavy.

- "the half of it"? - I asked

- Yeah. You're right, it's great

- I told you so

She was silent for a minute and it was enough for me to almost sleep.

- Camz?

- Yeah?

- You should sleep, you're tired and it's late

- It's not late, it's like 9 pm...

I guessed the time. I dont think I remember the last time I checked.
