My Love | Camilo Madrigal

The promise

I woke up and walked out of the Casita alone into the main streets of Encanto. I hadn't been in the streets for the longest time so I wanted some time to myself. I sat down by the fountain to see the guy from yesterday sit down by me. "Hey beautiful,"

I scowled. Wouldn't this guy give me a break? He was staring at me as if he just got hurt badly. "Do you not want to talk to me Senorita?" He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I haven't even find out your name," He laughed. "It's Micheal, nice to meet you. What about your name?"

"Y/n,"

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," He says. I fake smile and look away wincing. He sighs. "Do you play hard to get to everyone Y/n?" He says. I giggle slowly but catch myself. I hit him playfully. "I am NOT hard to get Michael."

He gets up to stretch. I take that as a signal to leave and walk back to the Casita alone. I go upstairs to see Camilo, walking downstairs and yawning. He stops himself and looks at me. "Good morning Y/n," I wave at him. We both go our seperate ways and I go up to my room.

I really liked Camilo. I knew I did. But Michael was such a nice guy. I longed for Camilo but Micheal treats me the way I want Camilo to. I stop thinking about it and head downstairs.

"Abuela, what about the guests?" Was the first thing I heard. "I think you might've seen them in the Encanto streets. The girl is a beautiful dancer. With such long brown hair." Camilo's face lit up. "Maya?"

"How'd you know that?"

"I've um-talked to her before Abuela," He said. Abuela nodded in suspicion and sat down. Everyone ate. "Is it really true Abuela?" Camilo asked again. Everyone lifted their heads to look at Camilo. He embarrassedly looked back down and everyone ate.

I finished eating, brushed my dress and headed into the spot Mirabel showed us. I sat there thinking about everything and anything. I thought about Camilo, how he would be with Maya all the time. But I felt a Ruana streak across my back.

I looked up to see Camilo. He sat down by me. "Are you excited for your girlfriend to come?" He smiled. I looked at the water falling down. "You've been spending a lot of time with Micheal,"

"It's only been a day Mr. Madrigal, plus I don't like him that way." He hit me on the shoulder. "I could stay here forever." Camilo said. "I could too," I said, I locked eyes with him, but then looked away. Me and Camilo couldn't be together. He liked someone else.

"Y/n, promise me you'll never ever betray or leave me?"

"Camilo what? I'd never leave you-"

He pulled me in to a hug. His touch felt like sparks to me. I knew it wouldn't last and I was right. He pulled away and smiled at me. "Pinky promise?"

"Oh Camilo, we aren't kids anymore,"

"Please Y/n, just this once, promise to me,"

He held his pinky finger for me to promise. I thought about it. "I pinky promise I'll never leave you," I giggled and he smiled and sighed. "When you left when we were kids, I was sad for days, I don't want it to happen again."

"I'll always be with you Camilo. Imagine me in the Casita forever,"

"When you leave Y/n, I'll never get over it. I'll miss you forever."

"I promise Camilo." He smiled in relaxation and we sat and stared at the water. He grabbed my hand as we both walked back to the Casita, once again. We both went our seperate ways.

I drifted to sleep, thinking about his hug he gave to me, but also expecting what would happen tommorow.
