The door opens and I see Camilo. "You wore the outfit," he says with a smile.
"Well duh. I couldn't leave you hanging," I say with a smirk.
"Come in," he says holding out a hand. I take his hand and he brings me inside.
"Y/n! Hey!" Mirabel says. "I'm glad you could make it,"
"Me too. I'm glad I'm feeling better," I say with a smile.
"Come sit!" She says. Camilo brings me to the table and pulls up a chair for me between him and Mirabel.
"Thank you," I say to him. I sit down and the adults start bringing the bowls of food.
"Y/n! I'm glad I could meet you. Camilo mentioned you'd be coming over for dinner. He's been talking about you non stop," Pepa says. "Oh! Camilo's mom. You can call me Pepa,"
"Nice to meet you Pepa. What has he been saying?" I say with a smirk. She laughs.
"Come find me later and I'll tell you everything," she says.
"Mama stop!" Camilo says to her embarrassed.
"Oh hush," she says as she walks away.
"Your mom is really nice," I say.
"Yea, embarrassing though," he says.
"Oh I'm so gonna go find her later," I say to him.
"Don't you dare," he says. We both start laughing and everyone comes to take a seat. Abuela stands up.
"I'd like to welcome Y/n and thank her for coming over for dinner," Abuela says. I give her sweet thank you smile. She sits back down and everyone starts getting food. I get mostly get rice and chicken. I take a bite and it melts in my mouth.
"You never told me the food would be this good," I say to Camilo.
"That's my tía Julieta for you. Always in the kitchen making the best food," he says nodding his head to her. I end up finishing my plate.
"Camilo, come with me," Delores says. He looks at me.
"I'll be fine. Go," I say to him. He goes with Delores and I go to find Pepa. I find her in the kitchen washing dishes. "Need any help? I ask her.
"That would be wonderful," she says. "I just need these ones rinsed and put in the drying rack,"
"Alrighty!" I say going next to her. I start rinsing the dishes and putting them in the drying rack. "So what did Camilo say?" I ask her.
"He said some stuff about you being beautiful and special. He told me about the little date y'all went on today. Was it fun?" She asks.
"Very. He's very sweet," I say.
"Well I'm glad. I know you just recently moved here but you're good for him. You know that?" She asks.
"I am?"
"Yea. You seem like a wonderful girl and you make him happy,"
"Well thank you," I say as I'm drying the last dish.
"That's all of them!" She says as she dries her hands and then hands me the towel. "Thank you. And don't tell Camilo I told you that," she says in a whispering way.
"You're welcome. And don't worry, I won't," I say back in a whispering way. We both laugh.
"You and Camilo should keep hanging out," She says.
"I plan on it," I say.
"You really do make him happy," she says.
"Well that's good because he makes me happy," I say letting out a light breath.
