Mi amor ~ Camilo Madrigal x oc~

16

Camilo, Mirabel, and I sat in the middle of Mirabel's room. Camilo had originally planted him self in between Mirabel and I. Later Mirabel moved to the other side sitting across from us. I leaned back against Mirabels bed. We had played cards, a random home made board game we found, and done all kinds of dares. Mainly centered around playing small tricks on the other members of the family

I looked at Camilo for a second, as you know I believe in revenge. Looking at Mirabel I smiled, we where both thinking the same thing. Wrapping my arms around the now confused boy I smiled, "Don't you just love girls night." He nodded looking me up and down. I could tell with just the way he was looking at me that he was trying to ask what I was doing.

Yanking him down into my lap I smiled looking down at his face, "You know what I don't like." Mirabel moved closer towards us. He shook his head, "No but I bet your gonna tell me." I nodded, "Sure am." Looking at Mirabel I smiled, "When idoitas join in on things they aren't invited to." He looked at me confused. Then he got it, "No....No!" Mirabel and I have already asked to put his hair in pigtails and each time he said no. He tried to sit up but Mirabel held his arms down, "Come on we told you that you didn't wanna be in here."

Pulling the hair ties out of my own hair I smiled, "Sit still and it'll go faster." He kept moving and complaining. What should have takes three minutes took three hours. At some point Mirabel went to go find bows from Deloris. Sitting in front of me Camilo looked annoyed. I smiled at him, "Stop looking at me like that."

He looked away from me, "I do what I want." Scooting closer towards him I leaned my face in front of his, "Come on you look cute." He shook his head looking back at me, "No I don't." I hadn't noticed how deep his eyes where. Or how much pain lived behind them. I couldn't even tell you what was about to happen. We moved closer to one another. Our faces barely inches apart. I could feel his breath on mine.

I looked away from him leaning back, "I'm sorry." He looked at me confused, "For?" Shaking my head I tried to shake off the moment, "It's a mistake, we shouldn't." He cupped my face, "Then let it be a mistake, one little mistake." He had no idea that beneath the surface I was fighting a massive headache and a possible flare up of my curse, "Camilo...we can't." He rubbed his thumb against my cheek. Looking up I pulled the hair ties out of his hair, "You where right you do look stupid."

He didn't laugh this time, just kept his eyes on me. Everything seemed to just melt away around us. I stopped thinking about how this could change everything. Or how I was making a mistake. It kills me to say but in all honesty I forgot about my curse. About how badly it could hurt him. He leaned forward out lips nearly touching. It was all happening so fast. Too fast.
I wasn't ready. I was caught in between not caring and caring too much.

"Camilo really we shouldn't." The words stung as I spoke. Leaving back he looked at me raising his eye brows, "Why not? What's so bad about one kiss." I wanted to tell him. But how do I look dead in his eyes and say, 'I'm cursed and I could cause you pain and or kill your I don't know if I could kill your but maybe!' There's no good way to put it. So I don't say anything. Looking away from him I stared into the mirror. My eyes were still there natural grey but they seemed to look glazed over. Milky like when someone starts to go blind.

He asked me again this time in a worried tone, "Valentina why not?" I couldn't look at him only at the mirror my eyes slowly getting more and more glazed. I could barely see let alone know what was happening. Or could happen. I muttered under my breath, "I just...I can't hurt Maribel she could start to think I'm coming just to see you. Or that I used her to get to you. It's just not fair to her." He tried to say something but I just slid back shaking my head, "She would find out. I can't keep something like this from her. It's just not right Camilo." Pushing my self up off the floor I didn't say anything else and neither did Camilo.

I walked out of Maribels room and out of the Casita not stopping until I got back home.  Locking my self in Sofia and my room. I didn't want to look at anyone. I could have hurt him and for a second I didn't care. It killed me to know what I would have done. And after everything had just started going well for him and his family. With the rebuilding of their home. A sense of love in the air that I could have ruined. I was stuck between never seeing him again and keeping him safe. Or throwing caution to the wind and possibly hurting him.
