Camilo wasn't the happiest camper when it came to silly chores like the one he was doing now. It was simply watching a kid while their parent shopped in the market, don't get him wrong he loved children and babies but when he already had plans for his day- "Come on Elise, Stop messing with that donkey!" He quickly lifted the toddle while giving he a small tickle.
He's always wondered what it would be like to have kids of his own, though being only 17 meant he had many years to think.
Soon his mind drifted to Andrea... He couldn't deny the fact he adored the girl; she was pretty and treated him like a human. He wished he knew if she felt the same about him... maybe if he knew then he would actually make a move.
Then the idea hit him, He knew someone who could see things he couldn't! The boy quickly found the kids parents and made up some excuse for leaving quickly, it was something like 'OH my sister needs my help with her chores!'
He had one thought on his mind as he marched his way to the Casita, "OOOH Tio Brunoo!" he slid across the main part of Casita, looking for his fortune telling uncle. It wasn't very hard finding him sense he really only sits in the kitchen, "You know how you're my favorite uncle? Like my absolute favorite!" Bruno gave the boy a disappointed glance, he knew what he wanted.. "If you want me to use my gift to see if that girl likes you.. No." Camilo wasn't shocked by his response, His uncle never used his gift much anymore.
"I just- I don't want to mess things up between us... She's great! But if she doesn't feel the same for me.." Bruno rolled his eyes with a soft scoff, "Look kid, Give her time seriously- You guys just met like what 3 days ago?" Camilo gave a disappointed nod before walking out of the kitchen.

Andrea laid on her bed, holding the stuffed donkey in her hands above her face. Examining the small toy carefully, she wasn't exactly sure why Camilo gave her the plushie but it made her smile. He was such a sweet boy and she wished they got to spend more time together, she didn't want to rush things with him but god did she enjoy his company. "Dios mío.." Andrea mumbled while trying to cover her red cheeks, "This boy!" She shoved her face into her pillows hiding her flustered face.
A tap on her window brought her back to the present, she was cautious but still approached the glass doors. Noticing a familiar yellow ruana on a silly boy, she stood up straight and crossed her arms. Giving Camilo a once over, which made him smirk. He gestured too himself while winking, this made Andrea a tad bit red. She opened the door, letting the weirdo in.
"Hola Hermosa! Damn nic-" Andrea quickly covered his mouth, glancing at her bedroom door nervously, "Are you trying to get caught Chameleon?" Without any warning he licked her hand, causing her to jump back in disgust, "What. the. fuck." she stared daggers into Camilo which only made him laugh.
"We won't get caught, Such a worry wart." His eyes wandered around her room, it was busy with plants and other decor. Very Different compared to his room for sure, it was captivating. "Erm what is it you wanted?" Andrea finally spoke again.
"Hm? Oh nothing really, we didn't really get to spend much time together today." Andrea gave the boy a puzzled look, "You could have just knocked on the front door you know?" It wasn't too late out so her father wouldn't have mind, considering it was only 8 pm.
Camilo ignored her statement while looking around her room more, his gaze landed on the Donkey Plushie. "Heh, Have you named him?" Andrea looked down at her plushie before answering with no hesitation, "Pickles." The look the boy gave her was priceless, "You named it... Pickles?"
"Well what else would I name it?"
"I don't know! Something cool-"
"Pickles is cool!"
The two began to argue over the donkey's silly name, Camilo trying to convince her to change it. "Come on what about- I don't know... Turbo?" Andrea gave him a 'Are you kidding me' look, "Pickles is wayy cooler then Turbo come on."
"As the father I'd like to protest this!" Andrea rolled her eyes at his silly statement, "As the mother I say otherwise." She waved him away while laying on her back across her back, Camilo shortly following after.
A wave of silence fell between the two, Not awkward silence but something comforting. "Can I say something weird?" Camilo broke the silence causing Andrea to jump a bit, "Yeah go for it."
"I think I like you." Andrea didn't know how to respond, she felt as if her throat was dry. "Well I- I like you too." The silence fell once again, both of them sharing scarlet red cheeks, "I didn't expect you to feel the same- It's only been what 3 days?" Camilo had a slight shakiness in his tone
Andrea didn't speak, just grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently. Looking towards his rosey face, he did the same. They sat in each other's company for several moments, a warm smile painted Andrea's face, " You know, I never felt this comfortable around someone... Normally I just avoid confessing my feelings all together." Camilo let out a small chuckle before agreeing, "I haven't really confessed to anyone before this."
"Boy you are 17 and you haven't confessed? Not even once?" Andrea raised a brow towards him
"Listen it's not like that! I just never took the time to really get to know someone like I have you."
Andrea felt a bit special, being his first love interest and all, "Should I be honored?" A soft chuckle left Camilo's lips, "I'm the one who should be honored, Hermosa." The red color only became brighter the more they spoke.
"How could any girl resist your charm.."
This wasn't how she thought her night would end up being, laying in comfortable silence with a Madrigal. She wasn't expecting much else to come from this conversation considering the fact they both had a longish day. What she definitely wasn't expecting was Camilo sitting up and giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Buenas noches, Mi vida." Andrea froze on the spot, her face heating up.
Camilo chuckled, taking the silence as a response. He stood up from her bed and made his way out.
Once he was gone Andrea shoved her face into her pillow, her heart was racing..."What is up with that boy!" she wiggled around on her bed, unable to shake the flustered feeling. How was she going to sleep now? Hah she knew the answer to that... she wasn't.
