Eugenia settled onto the comfortable couch, pulling out her phone with anticipation. Opening Instagram, eagerly scrolled through her feed, hoping to catch a glimpse of her fiancé, Selena. And there it was, a picture of Selena that made her heart skip a beat. She longed to comment, but knew better than to risk exposing their relationship.

It wouldn't be wise. Running a hand through her hair, Eugenia let out a sigh as she stood up from the couch. Making her way to the bedroom, sat down on the bed, her mind still consumed by thoughts of Selena.

With a deep breath, reached into her pocket and retrieved her phone. Dialing the woman's number, Eugenia pressed the call button and brought the phone to her ear. She waited anxiously for an answer. Finally, her girlfriend's voice greeted her on the other end.

"Hey there, babe," Her girlfriend said.

"Come over," Eugenia replied.

Ending the call, bit her lip, feeling excitement and anticipation. Just then, a text message notification caught her attention. Opening it, found a picture sent by Theresa. It was Selena on the beach, most likely from a recent vacation as Eugenia couldn't help but exhale in delight.

A smile formed across her face looking at the photo, eagerly anticipating the moment she would see her fiancé again. However, she couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, realizing that their plans to spend the holidays together had fallen through. She sighed, knowing that Selena didn't want the press to know about their reunion.

Leaning in closer to the photo, Eugenia's eyes caught something missing. Her ring. It reminded her that they hadn't discussed any wedding plans yet. Uncertain of when they would be able to plan, understood Selena's desire to keep their relationship private.

She shook her head, switching off her cell phone. Carefully, placed it inside her purse and closed it tightly. With a sigh, laid down on the bed, her feet dangling off the edge. Suddenly, heard footsteps approaching and quickly rose from the bed.

Her gaze landed on the figure standing in the doorway. She couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked. A smile graced her lips taking in the sight before her, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. She shook her head and chuckled.

"You said you wanted to see me, Eugenia," She said.

"Yeah, I did say that," Eugenia replied.

"For what, babe?" She asked.

"I missed you a lot," She admitted shyly.

"I missed you too," She responded.

"Come over here," Eugenia ordered.

A chuckle escaped her lips as she made her way towards her. Standing in front of her, wrapped her arms around her neck, pulling her in for a passionate kiss. Eugenia eagerly kissed her back, drawing her closer. She led her towards the bed, gently pushing her down onto it and broke the kiss, placing a tender kiss on her cheek and Eugenia leaned into the touch.

"I want to go public," She declared.

"You know I can't do that," Eugenia whispered.

She let out a sigh, sitting on the bed and crossing her arms over her chest. She could see the conflicted expression on her face and ran a hand through her hair. Biting her lip, didn't want to lose her. The thought of going public was complicated by her engagement to Selena Gomez.

"Maybe it's just not meant to be," She mused.

"Don't you dare say that! This is far from over," She declared defiantly.

"Why are you being so selfish?" She shouted in frustration.

"I already told you, I'm not ready," She reminded.
