"Juan!" I shout out once I've seen him and have made sure he's walking alone.

He turns around, looking kind of surprised to see me. "Hey, Cami." he smiles, stopping in his tracks.

I speed walk towards him, trying to keep myself composed. "Hi." I say, trying to play off how out of breath I am.

"What's up?"

We slowly begin walking together. I look up at him and let out a shaky breath. "I just...ended things with Danny."

"Oh." he nods, looking amused. "And you're telling me this why?"

I shrug. "You asked what was up. That's what's up." I say nonchalantly.

"So...you're single?" he asks, smiling down at me.

I roll my eyes. "I've been single."

"Got it." he nods, chuckling. He takes a big step towards me. "Does that mean I can kiss you?" he asks, placing his hands on my hips.

I choke up, suddenly feeling nervous. I nod slowly. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Good." he smiles, leaning down slowly, pressing his lips against mine gently. I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him in closer, he tightens his hold on my waist. We pull apart after a few moments, both of us smiling like idiots. "So what does this mean for us?" he asks, his hands cupping my face.

I shrug, looking up at him. "It means I love you."

"I love you too." he nods, pulling me back in for another kiss. "Are we back together?" he smiles down at me once we've pulled apart.

"If that's what you want." I nod slowly.

He presses his lips against mine again, nodding as he does so. "That's all I want, Cami." he says, pulling my body even closer to him as he crushes me in a hug.

"Thank God." I let out a sigh of relief, feeling tears spring up in my eyes as I rest my head on his chest. "I've missed you so much, Juan." I sniffle, looking up at him after a few seconds.

With the pads of his thumb he wipes away my stray tear, a small smile on his lips. "I missed you too." he nods. "I thought I had lost you to Danny."

"No." I shake my head quickly, pulling him back in for another hug, squeezing him tightly. "Never."

"So, tell me..." I look up at Juan as we lay next to each other. "how many girls did you talk to while I was dating Danny?" I ask, smirking. We just got back to Juan's hotel room, and all we've done up to this point is catch each other up on what our lives have been like while we cuddle on the couch.

He stiffens, looking at me suspiciously. "Why?"

"Just curious." I shrug. "Come on," I laugh, sitting up. "You know what I've been up to as far as relationships go." I pat his leg impatiently, waiting for an answer.

He sighs, sitting up as well. We sit across from each other, our legs crisscrossed. "I didn't date any girls," he starts off, clearing his throat. "I just had sex with quite a few of them..." he trails off awkwardly, looking away from me and towards the window.

"Juan!" I laugh loudly, hitting his leg. "You're being so awkward about this. I don't care what you were doing the entire time we weren't together, this is just me being nosy." I smile, shaking my head.

He rolls his eyes playfully, running a hand across his beard. "And what about you?" he asks, resting his hand on my thigh. "Did you and Danny ever sleep together?"

"Nope." I shake my head. "Never."

He stares at me in disbelief. "Seriously?"

"Yep. Never slept with him." I say, shrugging.

He nods, impressed. "Wow. I'm kind of surprised by that, actually."

"We got really close to it a few times, like really close, but we never did."

He grimaces, shaking his head. "I don't wanna know how close you got to having sex with him." he chuckles lightly, still shaking his head.

"Why not? Are you jealous?" I smirk teasingly.

"I, unlike you," he rolls his eyes. "don't feel the need to be nosy."

I shrug. "In other words, you're just saying that you're jealous." I smile, reaching out for him, locking my fingers together behind his neck. I bring him down to me, giving him a firm kiss.

He kisses me back eagerly, holding me close to him. I go on top of him, pushing myself against him just as eagerly, immediately feeling his excitement grow. "I missed you so much, Cami." he sighs into the kiss, pulling away slowly. He looks at me with so much love in his eyes I think I could burst.

"I did too." I smile, nodding. I hold his face in my hands, running my fingers along his neatly trimmed beard. "Wanna just talk for tonight? We still have so much to catch up on." I say, shrugging.

We're both so overwhelmed to be back in each other's arms that we can't even decide what to do with one another. As much as I'd like to make love to him tonight, I don't think we should. We should just talk.

And that's exactly what we do. Talk. Catch up.
