Mrs Madrigal

Camillo's Visit

The next morning Ma was up from 5am cleaning the house and getting everything ready.

"Mama..?" I rubbed my eyes as i came down the stairs, "Camilo's not coming for another 5 hours, it's 6am get some rest."

Ma shakes her head and she dusts the ornaments, "Everything HAS to look good,"

I go over to her and take the duster out his hand, "He's not judgemental Ma, he's sweet. I'm sure he wouldn't care even if we lived in a garbage bin,"

Ma sits down on a chair and places her hand underneath her chin, "Y/N, how did YOU get with Camilo, I mean.." She looked at me up and down.

"Ma!" I raised my voice a bit, "Don't be rude,"

She looked at me and laughed a bit, "I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that hunny, I just couldn't help wonder how someone as important as him would date or even meet someone in my family,"

I laughed a bit, "To be honest Mama, I don't know how he would date me either.. I mean I thought he thought I was a freak."

Ma laughs a bit, "Well if you dont go get ready and wash your greasy hair, he will think that. So hurry up!"

I nod my head and quickly run upstairs to the bathroom and get in the shower and Mama carries on getting everything ready.

As I washed my hair I couldn't help but think about his family, they're all so perfect, especially Isabella.

As a kid I've always looked up to Isabella, like a role model. I would always ask for the same dresses as her and try style my hair like hers. When nobody would be looking, in the flower shop, I would throw flowers around pretending I was Isabella.

She doesn't even know I exist. Well, until yesterday. She was staring at me when me and Camillo danced, I couldn't tell if it was good or bad though.

His family is so amazing, I just don't really think I could fit in, what if Pepa his Ma hates me, doesn't think I'm good enough.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my hair and around my body.

As I rummaged through my wardrobe I found a white top and pink skirt and I wore them with some silver hoops earrings.

I sat down and started doing my make-up and then there was a knock at the door.

Was he here already?

I went downstairs and opened the door and a police officer was there. "Are you Y/N?"

I bit the inside of my lip, "Um.. yes..?"

He pulled out some handcuffs, "You need to come to the office with me immediately."

I thought I was about to faint.

Suddenly the police man shapeshifted back into  Camilo and he started laughing. I was still in shock but couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny! You scared me!" I giggled.

He chuckled, "Seems like you found it funny."

Ma quickly rushed over, "Camilo, welcome!" She smiled.

"Thank you for having me."

We all sat down in the dining room and Mama had put out 3 plates of chicken and rice. "Now I'm a florist, not a chef so I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your standards and I'm sorry it doesn't heal you like your aunts food does." Ma said.

As we began to eat, Ma wouldn't stop talking. "So Camilo, what's going on with your cousin and that man?" She smiled as she put another piece of chicken in her mouth.

Camilo finished his mouthful of food, "Isa? I think they're getting married soon,"

Mama smiles a bit, "Do you think you and Y/N will get married?"

I choked on my chicken and stared at her, "Ma! Stop. We are 15."

She laughed it off, "Maybe when your 18, then you can have my grandkids, won't that be exciting?"

I stared at her dead in the eyes and she realised she was embarrassing me and she stopped talking.

Camilo laughed a bit, "I'm sure your grandkids will be very good looking considering how beautiful your daughter is."

"Oh yes, she gets her looks from her dad." Ma said finished off her plate of food.

"Where is he? I'd love to meet the guys." Camillo smiled at me.

Me and Mama both fell quiet. Camilo looked at us confused but then his smile faded when he realised, "Sorry I didn't-"

"It's fine, don't worry. It was a while ago. He was sick, that's all." I picked up my half finished plate and emptied the rest of the food into the bin.

"Well, uh.. why don't you two go on a walk?" Ma suggested.

I agreed since then she wouldn't be able to embarrass me.

Me and Camilo left and took a walk down the village.

"Sorry for bringing up your dad." He mumbled.

"Oh no, don't be sorry," I stopped walking and turned to face him, "You didn't know."

He smiles and holds his hands as some kids run over to us, "It's Camilo Madrigal!" One of them screams with excitement.

"Please, please pleaseee shapeshift for us!" One pleaded.

Camilo agreed and shapeshifted to me, "Look! I'm the prettiest girl in the world!" He laughed and shapeshifted back to himself.

The kids thanked him and ran off as he made our way to his house, "I'll see you tomorrow darling?" He kissed my cheek.

"Of course, where and when?"

"My house? Come as soon as you can, I'll be waiting!" He smiles and goes into his house.
