Throughout dinner Camilo kept catching my eye. He smirked at me before I looked away and focused back on my food. After dinner I offered to help Mirabel with the dishes and clean up the table. She bit her lip to try to stop herself from smiling when I walked in with the last dish.
"Soo?"
"What?"
I gave her a puzzled look pretending not to know what she was talking about. She put the sponge down and put her hand to her hip
"Don't play dumb with me. I saw you during dinner."
I handed her the dish and avoided eye contact, trying my best to act innocent.
"I don't know what you're talking about~."
"Oh please! I know you like Cami-"
I shushed her covering her mouth before she could say anymore.
"I'll tell you later in your room, ok?"
She got excited to hear me spill.
"Alright, then."
She shoved me lightly and I shoved her back as I waited for her to clean the dish. After a bit we went up to Mirabel's room. I heard her talking to someone outside before she closed the door eagerly, just waiting for me to spill. We both sat down on the floor next to her bed across from eachother. I leaned my back on the side of her bed.
"C'mon tell me what's going on between you and my cousin. You like him don't you!"
I didn't respond and just looked at the ceilling avoiding her childlike eyes. Mirabel gasped.
"I knew it! No wonder you guys are always flirting."
"We're not flirting, we just... joke around sometimes."
I traced the patterns on the wooden floor as I smiled to myself.
"Uh-huh, sure~."
I jumped slightly at the sound of the open. We both turned to see Dolores peek through.
"I heard you two talking about my brother?"
She closed the door behind her and came to sit next to us with a smile and a slight smirk on her face.
"Hey, Dolores. Some one's got a crush~."
"I thought so. So what exactly do you like about him?"
"Well..."
"Go on."
Mirabel was eager and oddly so was Dolores, but I went ahead and answered her question.
"Well... I guess he's pretty cute."
"What else~?"
"And I like how all the kids love him, how he can make people laugh, that look he always has on his face, his freckles, his stories, his eyes, the nickname he gave me-"
"Ha. I knew it."
Wait. What? Dolores' voice changed and sounded like Camilo's. Oh God. He didn't. I swear to God if he did. What I thought was Dolores had ended up being Camilo. Curse his damn shape-shifting gift.
"What the fuck, Camilo?!"
I chucked a pillow at him and both Mirabel and him started laughing. I buried my face in my hands from how embaressed I was. Did they just play me into confessing my crush? Yeah, you best believe they did.
"God, why'd you guys do that! That's so embaressing!"
Mirabel started to stand up and walk towards the door. Why?? Please don't leave me like this in front of him. She stepped outside the room, smiling at me and flashing a thumbs up before squinting her eyes at Camilo.
"Don't try anything funny. Dolores has her ears on you~."
She smiled at me again and closed the door behind her.
"So, princesa?"
I was still too embaressed to realize he was sitting infront of me now, just a little closer than Mirabel was sitting.
"'So', what?"
He took my hand and removed it from my face. His touch alone was flustering me again. He scooted a little closer to me leaving only about a foot between us.
"Go out with me, of course."
He cocked his head to the side a bit and gave me a warm smile, waiting for my answer. I just nodded since I couldn't bring myself to speak. He beamed with excitement and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before running to the door. The door was almost closed before he burst through it again.
"Oh yeah, um, jacaranda. Tomarrow. Before dinner. Don't be late, princesa. Uh, see ya!"
He closed the door leaving me alone in Mirabel's room. I sat there still trying to figure out what was going on.
