Welcome To My World ☆ Bruno Madrigal x Reader

capítulo 18

I squeezed Bruno's hand as I entered the decorated dance hall near the school. "Mi amor, are you okay."

"Wh-what? What?" I stuttered, suddenly looking at him.

"I-if you don't like it I won't say it! It's just... just something we say-"

"I love it. Just surprised me is all." I said with a smile, gripping his hand in reassurance.

"Oh my goodness! Y/n Jones, is that you? I don't think I've ever seen you so dolled up before." The school counselor, Sarah-Ann Williams, said excitedly, making her way over. "And who is this handsome fella? He looks... vaguely familiar." She said, addressing Bruno and inspecting him closely.

"Right! He gets that a lot! Bruno Madrigal, right?" I quickly said, forcing a laugh like we were at work.

"Yes! He looks just like him!" Sarah joined my laugh. "So what's your name?" She asked him. Before he could respond, I interrupted.

"Oscar! His name is Oscar." I forced a large smile, and looked at Bruno. "Right?"

"R-right! That's me! Good-ole-Oscar!" Bruno played along, forced a smile as well and lightly swinging his arms in a cartoonish way.

"Well... anyway... I'm Sarah-Ann, but you can call me Sarah! I hope you enjoy it tonight!" She said with a wink before making her way back to her girlfriend at the punch bowl.

I released the breathe I'd been holding and turned to Bruno. "We should've gone over this on the way here. You can't let anyone know who you are. Okay?"

"Of course! I know it could cause problems. I mean, I did fuck up when I told the twins my name."

"Whoa there big man! Did you just curse?"

"I- well... listen!" I raised my eyebrow in amusement as he struggled to explain himself, leading him deeper into the room. "I've never really said them before coming here. It's really exciting!" He said with that puppy-dog smile.

I couldn't help but smile back with a laugh. "Right, just don't make it a habit, my dear." I patted his shoulder smirked to show I was only joking.

"Well well well, hello there, Y/n." I instantly went stiff at the sound of the voice from beside me.

Bruno noticed my reaction and put his hand on my face. "Mi vida what's wrong?"

"I'm glad to see you got someone, I thought you might not show up this year." I couldn't look at him, I had to force myself to focus on Bruno. "Hello! I'm trying to have a conversation with you!" He said with the forced laugh I used to hear everyday.

"And who are you?" Bruno asked, only moving his head to address him. Bruno kept his hands on my face as I focused on his.

I heard the other mans low chuckle. "You mean they never told you? I'm Cameron, Y/n used to be my-"

Bruno cut him off. "Your what?" He dropped my face and crossed his arms. His eyes looked hollow, just shy of turning angry. "Surely you wouldn't be disrespectful. Especially not around this many people." He asked him.

"Of course I wouldn't. I was just going to say partner. Nothing else." I could hear the fake grin on his face. I forced myself to stand next to Bruno, facing Cameron. His stupid grin grew wider and the hands he had open beside his head, dropped. "Well it's good to see that gorgeous face again."

"Wh-what are you doing here?"

"My sister invited me. Just like that first night we met. She wanted someone to go with, so I offered to come along. Aren't you so glad?" He asked in a mocking tone.

Bruno reached for my hand and glared at him. "Obviously they aren't happy. I mean, you two broke up, didn't you?"

"Hah!" He laughed at Bruno, which only made him glare harder. "You know we separated because I left them, right? I found someone else-"

"And where are they? Hm?" Bruno asked. When Cameron's face dropped and he never responded, Bruno nodded. "Exactly. Just because you're jealous that Y/n has somebody and you don't, doesn't mean you need to harass them. Now if you don't mind, Leave. Us. Alone." Bruno said the last part with a deep grimace, getting threateningly close to Cameron's face.

Cameron just glared back. "And what are you gonna do? Attack me? Go to jail for it? Hm? What are you gonna do?" Cameron said, slightly shoving Bruno backwards.

That isn't gonna fly. I pushed Cameron back, suddenly filled with rage. "Don't fucking touch him." I threatened.

"Awe, he can't even-" Before he could finish his sentence, I kneed him in the gut, causing him to double over.

"I'm not joking. Leave." I said, looking down at him. He was bent over, holding his stomach.

"You're insane. I'll get you arrested for this!"

"I'll tell them you started it. We have all these witnesses after all." I replied, gesturing to the small crowd that were watching us from a distance.

He looked around at all of them and pushed himself up harshly, leaving us to talk to someone else. "Now, I know you didn't also say a curse word." Bruno said, turning to face me.

"I'm 35 years old, I can say whatever I want." I laughed while playfully elbowing him. "Let's go dance!"

Another short chapter! I wanted to add some drama so this is more or less a filler. Hope you enjoyed regardless!
