After a long night of holding and watching your peacefully sleeping girlfriend, you finally feel her begin to stir at 9:30 AM. You see her open her eyes and cutely yawn while stretching. She looks over at you and smiles once her eyes meet yours,
"Morning Beautiful. How'd you sleep?" You ask her,
"Great. How about you?"
"Pretty good," you lie with a small, fake smile plastered on your face. Unfortunately, you can't exactly be honest with her. If you were, you would have to say something like,
'I didn't sleep at all because I was too busy thinking of all of the ways you could find out about me and your fricking model status step-sister having a drunken hook-up right after we broke up.' Yeah... Not the easiest thing to admit.
"Well that's good because we have a long day ahead of us," Camila replies with a smile on her face.
Fucking fantastic,
"Oh ya... What are we doing exactly?"
"Well, we're going to get ready and have breakfast with everyone. Then we'll split up. You, me, Sel, Ally, Lo, Zayn, Mani, and Ariana," she says the last name with a slight hint of distaste, which reminds you to question her soon about her past with the girl, "we'll all go do something fun, meanwhile the parents will go do whatever they consider 'fun'," she says with a sarcastic voice while adding quotations, making you slightly laugh, "and then we'll all meet up again at the house and maybe go out to dinner,"
"Ok. Sounds good,"
For the most part...
"Oh wait! I can't believe I almost forgot to tell you... We have a special addition to the group... Drum roll please!" You roll your eyes but begin to make noises with your mouth anyways, going along with her silliness,
"Miss Dinah Jane Hansen will be accompanying us for the rest of the weekend!"
"Wait... Seriously?!"
"Ya! I decided it was finally time for me to be honest with her also about the whole family situation. I told her everything last week and the first thing she said was that she needs to meet them to see if, 'they're worthy of being graced by her Walz's presence,'" she attempts to imitate Dinah while adding an eye roll at the end yet continuing to smile. Not that you'd ever want to in the first place, but if you were to hurt Camila in any way, you know you'd have to run far, far away as fast as possible. Dinah would kill you, or anyone for that matter, if they hurt Camila. She's what you would call an overprotective best friend, which you greatly appreciate for Camila's sake.
    "Well that's awesome. I can't wait to see her," you say actually telling the truth for what feels like the first time in a while. The more people to separate you and Green Eyes, the better.
    "She's excited to see you too. We wanted to keep it a surprise but I think I've waited long enough to tell you, right?" You slightly nod your head and smile, "well we better get our butts up and start getting ready," she says while starting to stand up. Before she can begin walking to the bathroom, you grab her arm and swiftly pull her on top of you for a kiss. As soon as the kiss breaks due to smiling, she questions you,
    "What was that for?"
    "Because you're cute... And I love you a lot," you answer with a smile. You notice a blush form on her cheeks and she buries her face into the crook of your neck. It delights you to know that even after a few years, you can still make her blush with just a small act like that. She moves her head and kisses you again,
    "I love you a lot more," before you can argue, she's up and running to the bathroom.

    45 minutes later and you are both ready to go downstairs. You hold the door open for Camila and she gives you a small peck on the cheek before exiting the room. As you near the kitchen hand-in-hand, you can smell the delicious food wafting from the kitchen. When you enter the kitchen, you see the majority of the family either sitting at the table talking or preparing the food. You notice that the only people who are missing are Lauren, Normani, and Zayn.
    Of course they're late,
    "Morning you two," Kyle says, who is currently grabbing cups out of the cupboard,
    "Morning Dad," Camila responds with a smile,
    "CC, I don't think I've ever seen you so chipper in the morning before," Selena says with a smirk on her face,
    "Oh my gosh! Remember that one time when she punched Laur for waking her up 'too early'," Ally says,
    "Hey! It wasn't that bad..." Camila rebukes while looking at the floor, ashamed,
    "She had a black eye!" Anna says while laughing. By this point everyone is laughing, including yourself, but you're rubbing Camila's back, signifying everyone is just joking with her. Camila stops frowning and begins to laugh as well,
    "Well at least I taught her to let me sleep!" She says jokingly, "speaking of the devil, where are her and her minions anyway?"
    "Fashionably late, as always," Ariana speaks for the first time. Camila and her make eye contact for a split second before Camila quickly looks away and occupies herself by walking further into the kitchen to grab a banana,
    Weird... As soon as Ariana says this, you hear someone enter the kitchen,
    "Not us!" Normani says sassily with a tired looking Zayn standing next to her,
    "Great of you two to join us. Where's Lauren?" Anna asks,
    "Taking her sweet time getting ready. You know her... Perfection takes time," Normani responds,
    "Not with her. She usually just jumps out of bed and wears her pajamas around all day," Camila says,
    "Well maybe she's trying to impress someone..." Zayn speaks up while subtly looking at you. This increases your nerves a little. Maybe you do need to have that talk with him and Normani,
    "Hey! Leave Lolo alone. She always looks great, no matter what," Ally says,
    "Thank you my favorite cousin," Lauren says while entering the room, looking gorgeous,
    "Nice timing Laur, food's ready everybody!" George yells.
