Bet | Camilo M.

29: Comfort

Y/n's POV

It had just been days since Camilo and I started dating, the news spread like wildfire in both our families. Of course, Dolores heard everything. But they weren't surprised though, I mean they've expected things to end up this way.

If he isn't the real definition of clingy then I don't know what is. 

He helps me with my chores, wake me up in the morning by sneaking from the window, brings food he stole from his Tiá Julieta and whines if he won't get his hugs and kisses. 

But there was this side of him that I didn't know I'd like to see more, and it was when he gets mad over something. I swear, he look so hot when he goes mad. Though I rarely see that side of him 'cause he's acting like a baby when around me. 

"There you go, all done!" I put both hands on my hips and stared at him proudly. I was styling his hair into a man bun because he was acting like a bitch complaining about the hot weather.

He looks at the mirror, admiring himself. A wide smile plastered on his face as he sat back beside me in my bed. "I love it, amor. I think I'm gonna stick with this style for a while." he pecks my lips and pulled me for a hug. His face was buried in my neck as he planted it with light kisses.

"What do you think you're doing?" he looks at me with a sly grin and continued on what he was doing. "Cami, stop you're gonna leave a mark in there." 

"Then that's good, in that way everyone will know you're mine." 

I glared at him and crossed my arms. "If you won't stop you won't get to touch me for a week." I warned and he quickly pulled away. Hmm, works every time.

"You're so unfair!" he whined.

"You're so clingy." I spat back. He pouted and turned his back on me. 

I rolled my eyes and hugged him, placing my chin on his shoulder. I hope this works. I sighed, he gave me a side glance and looked away. "Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you." 

I heard him huffed. "Get lost." 

I widened my eyes. What did he just say?? get lost?? oh I'll show him.

"Fine." I scoffed and pushed him to the floor. He yelped and groaned while rubbing his head. "What the hell was that for??"

I huffed and pulled the blanket to cover myself. I heard him chuckle. "Yeah, laugh your ass off. I don't care." 

He pull off the blanket and started hugging me. "I was just messing around, I didn't know you would take it seriously." he says while planting kisses on my shoulder. "I'm sorry." 

I sighed and changed my position, now he was on top of me. I cupped his cheeks and shower him with kisses all over his face. "I think you missed a spot." he points at his lips and smirked.

I rolled my eyes and pulled him by his collar but then the door swung open and mom looked at us with wide eyes. "Mamá!" I shoved Camilo's face aside.

"Oh, I didn't know you would give us grandchildren this early." 

"Mom, that's not it! we weren't doing anything! I swear!" I hurried over to her, shaking both my hands. "Right, Camilo?" I turned to Camilo and he got up and went to my side.

"Y-yeah, y/n and I were just...cuddling." he chuckled awkwardly.

Mom eyes went back and forth from me to Camilo. I was tensed for a moment until she let out a sigh. "I see, just please lock the door next time." she pats my shoulder.

I mean, she could've just knocked first. But then, I remembered there's no knocking in this household.

I nodded my head. "Uh, why were you here again?" I asked while fixing my hair. Camilo sat back on my bed after fixing the sheets.

"Your abuela will be here any minute." just as she said that, I slowly looked at her.

"What??" I exclaimed. This can't be. I hate that old woman, she doesn't even like me at all. She likes that brat adopted Ines more than me. 

"I know sweetheart, but I'm sure she's changed." mom gave a reassuring smile but I looked down to the ground. I heard her sigh. "I'll meet you downstairs." she says and kissed my forehead before exiting my room, closing the door behind her. 

Camilo looked at me worriedly, I sat beside him and he pulled me for a side hug. "Don't worry hermosa, I'm sure she isn't that bad." he comforts. I didn't say anything further and just burried my face on his chest.

Abuela soon arrived. Mom and dad rushed to greet her and just a sudden Ines pushed me aside and went to hug abuela. I groaned and dusted myself, Camilo calmed me down by holding my hand. 

When abuela's eyes landed on me I gulped real hard. "Well, you've grown up." she says and looked at Camilo up and down. "Who's this young man?" she points at him.

"Hola señora, I'm Camilo Madrigal, Y/n's boyfriend." he introduced himself. She just scoffed and went to the dining table, completely ignoring his presence.  "Valentina, where's your son?" she asks referring to Cleo.

"Oh, he's at his fiance's house, he'll be home any minute." mom replied. We all take our seats on the dinner table and started to eat. 

"So..." abuela spoke which caught our attention. "When did you guys started dating?" she asks, I stopped from eating and looked at her. "Uh, just a few days ago." I answered. 

"Just a few days ago? you should end it now while it's still early, I don't like this boy." she says. Mom and dad looked at each other. I held tight to my spoon. I looked over to my side to see Camilo looking down. I placed a hand on his lap and gave him a worried look. He just smiled and looked back at his food.

"Hmph! useless boy." I heard her saying and that's when I lost it.

I stood up and slammed my hand on the table. "Don't you dare say things like that to him you stinky old-ass lady! I'm the one who's dating him not you! If you don't have anything nice to say you should just shut your fucking mouth before I shove a whole plate to your stupid face!" I shouted and ran upstairs grabbing Camilo with me. 

I slammed the door and hugged my knees, I started sobbing. Just then I felt arms wrapped around me, I saw Camilo and buried my face on his chest. Gripping into his ruana while I cried uncontrollably, I felt his hand caressing my hair. 

"She's the worst."

"Shh, amor, you didn't have to do that. I know you didn't mean to shout back at her." 

"But she just called you useless!" I looked at him with teary eyes. He wiped off my tears with his hands. "I don't care what she said about me."

"Well I do." I said in between my sobs.

"Shh, please don't cry. My heart breaks to see you like this. If you won't stop crying I'll just cry with you." he rubs my back. I took deep breath in and out until I calmed down. 

He lead me to bed and we cuddled. My head on his chest, his arm on my waist while his other hand was playing with my hair. "You feeling any better?" he asks and I nod my head.

"Thanks Cami." 

"You're always welcome Mi Vida." he kisses my forehead and I drift off to dreamland.
