08: A dozen??

                                    

                                          
"I see you've gotten pretty close with Carlos." he says, breaking the awkward silence and looking away.
"Hmm," I hummed. "I mean he isn't that bad though. He's actually nice and that makes me wonder why other people doesn't like him." I said, fidgeting my fingers. I glanced to his side and saw him looking at me. I can't figure if he's sad or something.
"So... you like him?" he asked which made me stop from walking. I looked at him, he was looking at me seriously as if his eyes were begging for my answer.
I rolled my eyes at him to lessen the tension I was feeling. "We literally just met, Camilo." I let out a chuckle. "How can you assume that I like him already?"
"I-I was just wondering since you know, you've spend almost the whole day with him." I can sense irritation in his voice by the way he talked. He was looking up at the sky probably avoiding my eyes that were already looking at him.
A smirk grew on my face. "Are you jealous then? Is it because I was spending time with him rather than being with you? Is that it?" I asked and he stopped dead in his tracks. 
I turned to face him and I saw how his cheeks started to glow red. "N-no." he flustered, fidgeting with his fingers. 
"Look at me, Madrigal." I grab his chin to make him look at me. I tried my best to not burst out a laugh when I saw how red his cheeks were. I decided to tease him a bit more. It's not like I get to win over him every time.
Now the tables had turned.
I continued looking at him giving him a teasing look, raising an eyebrow at him, both of my hands placed on my hips. My face was just a few inches away from his. Not breaking the staring contest we were having.
He breathe out and rolled his eyes, looking so annoyed. "You know what? I'll just take this as a chance," he blurted out and faster than a blink of an eye, he planted his lips on mine.
He pulled away quickly and winked. "I win." he says and started running away while I stood there frozen for a while. Recalling everything that happened. 
I shook my head and started running after him. "Hey! come back here you thief! how dare you!" I grab my shoe and throw it at his direction which hit the back of his head. He stopped for a while and looked back at me, rubbing the back of his head.
"Camilo Madrigal! if you don't come here right now I swear!" I shouted but the jerk just stick out his tongue at me and continued rushing to his house. I rolled my eyes and followed him, picking up my shoe from the ground.
Casita opened the door for me and I saw Isabella coming to greet me. "Oh y/n! hi! what brings you here?" she asked with excitement on her eyes. 
"Where's Camilo?" 
"He's in the kitchen, why?" Isa looked at me confused. I didn't get to answer her question and ran to the kitchen. There I saw Julieta with Mirabel, must be preparing dinner. Julieta greeted me and I smiled back at her. 
"Hey Mira, have you seen Camilo?" she looked at me and shook her head then continued arranging the plates. Just then another Mirabel came in holding a basket filled with supplies. 
I looked at the other 'Mirabel' beside me. "Oh shoot." he whispered and changed back to himself before running away. I chased him right away.
"Hey watch it!" Mirabel shouted as Camilo ran to hid behind her. 
"Come here you sneaky rat!" I shouted as we continued circling around Mirabel. He ran to the other side of the table while I was just across him on the other side. 
"Surrender?" I asked while he was catching his breathe.
"Never." he says and ran out of the kitchen. 
I saw Mirabel shaking his head while Julieta was just laughing at us in the corner. If she's amused of what's happening then I'm not.
I followed Camilo upstairs and I almost tripped on the stairs but thankfully Casita helped me right away before I break any bones. I continued running just then I saw Dolores.
"Dolores! stop him!" I tried to say it without shouting so I wouldn't hurt her ears and as if on cue, she was quick to grab Camilo by the back of his white shirt.
I smiled and headed to where they were. Camilo looked so annoyed, he was crossing his arms around his chest. Dolores laughed. "Thanks." I said while panting.
"No worries, why were you running anyway? what did he do?" she asked, then I remembered she might've heard me shouting all the way here.
"It's none of your business, now let me go!" Camilo tried to get rid of her grip but failed.
"Let's just say he stole something from me." I glared at him.
"Whatever. You liked it anyway." he smirked. I felt my blood rising to my cheeks. 
"No, I did not! It was my first kiss and you just stole it!" I said throwing my hands into the air. Dolores gently let go of him and covered her mouth with both of her hands, gasping. I saw her lips forming a smile. Then I noticed Mirabel and Isabela was already standing behind Camilo. 
"He did what??" they all exclaimed in unison, causing Dolores to cover her ears.
"Yes, you heard what I said." I said rather annoyed, crossing my arms around my chest. Just then I heard a squeal from behind me. I saw Pepa walking towards us with a rainbow on top of her head.
"My baby's already grown up." she says cupping his cheeks and planting kisses all over his face. I laughed at the sight.
"Mami, stop it! not in front of Y/n." he whined, slightly pushing her hands away from his face. Pepa then turned to me holding her smile, she pulls me in a tight hug almost lifting me up a bit.
"Welcome to the family Y/n" she says. I crossed my eyebrows and saw Camilo smirking while Mirabel, Isa and Dolores were giving me a teasing look. "Oh, you two will be the most adorable couple in the town." she finally puts me down.
"I wouldn't bother having y/n as my sister-in-law." Dolores says.
"Maybe being a bridesmaid isn't so bad after all." Mirabel says and Isabela nods her head.
"I can't wait to see little y/n and little Camilo running all over the place." Pepa added which made my eyes almost burst out. I blinked a few times and laughed awkwardly.
Camilo grabs me by the waist still with the smirk on his face. " Don't worry mami, we'll give you a dozen grandchildren." he turns to me with a smirk.
A DOZENNNNNN?????!!!
I quickly nudge him by his side. "we're not even dating" I whispered.
"Not yet, mi amor." he whispers to my ear. I rolled my eyes at him and hit the back of his head. 
We'll see about that.
