All over again [Camilo Madrigal x Reader]

Chapter 11

"Y/n?" I heard a very distinguishable voice

I turned my back to see Camilo, I see him with a book in his Right hand and an apple on his left. kinda hot. not gonna lie. I gave a look that was supposed to only be seen by me, it was a look that said not bad, not bad, fair enough. what are we going to do about it? and I shrugged at the same time

I heard him chuckle, and I realized that I DIDN'T JUST DO IT IN MY HEAD.

I looked back to the other Madrigals and all of them had the same face, it looks like when you say oh shit, I squinted like I was questioning them.

"what are you- what are you doing here?" he questioned, I turned my back on the madrigals to look back at him, he slowly dropped his book

"uhm, well I- I just wanted to visit?" while shrugging

"oh well, that's..." there was a long pause as if he was trying to find the right word "good."

I smiled at him, it slowly fading when no one was talking, the silence was deafening. I didn't know if he was happy that I'm here or not

I opened my mouth "I-"

"well do- I'm sorry, you first" he accidentally cut me off.

"no-no, it's fine, I- I don't know" I forced a chuckle, trying to cut off the awkwardness

"no, please, I insist, you go"

I relaxed my shoulders "okay, what I was going to say is that I have to finish cleaning first" I rolled my eyes at myself knowing that that was the worst excuse. "I mean, our house is full of dust, and that's not good," also knowing that I already finished cleaning last night.

He nodded, "no, go ahead, we can talk some other time"

I nodded back with a grateful smile

"WAIT" I heard Mirabel's shout as I was stepping out of the casita, "what if you go over for dinner?" she clears her throat

"I don't want to be a burden, it's fine" I shake my head 'no'

"we'd love to have you here, Mija, besides it has been 4 years since we last saw you" Tia Julieta joined the conversation, with the others nodding

"uh," I scratched the back of my neck "definitely, see you in about... what time?"

"6 pm" Camilo quickly butted in when Mirabel was supposed to answer

"Okay, okay, see you" I waved goodbye as I stepped out of the casita

I walked at least 15 meters away from the casita, far enough for them to not see me, I exhaled deeply and started walking towards the forest. When I finally reached my desired destination, I see the same old beautiful view, our river.

I chuckled but at the same time tears started developing, I quickly wiped them away as I saw our tent

it's still the same thing, same everything as it was before

I ran my hands through the carving I did of us, smiling yet also crying, I didn't get what I was feeling, but I'm feeling it.

I decided to sit and before I did, I saw my old stuffed toy, buried in one of the pillows, I started crying, I grabbed it and just examined it for a minute, just to calm me down.

Then I rolled my eyes when I saw a paper hanging on the trunk of the tree because I know I'm going to sob even more. I took off its tape and started reading it

I started laughing when I saw 'yes, crush, this is my confession' cringing at the thought of me writing that like how did I write this, I laughed even harder when I saw 'I love you' "UGH" I jokingly let out. I meant the 'I love you' it's just that, saying THOSE words in a letter? no.
