Y/N's POV

"Y/n, it's okay, you can rest or maybe go out for a while. I'll just ask Mirabel if I need anything. Thanks for helping me." Tia Julieta raised a smile.

I was helping her in the kitchen to prepare some food for the dinner proposal later. "Are you sure Tia?"

"Yes, I can manage. It's almost done so you don't have to worry about me." she lightly tapped my back and hurried me off outside the kitchen.

"Okay, but if you need anything else I'll be around."

"Yeah yeah, now go ahead and enjoy yourself. Thanks for the help."

I just nod my head and went to the living room to find Luisa taking her afternoon nap. I didn't wanna bother her so I just went outside. A little walk would do.

As I was walking, I remembered the place where Mateo and I used to spend most of our time just talking and laughing about random things. It's been quite a long time since I went there maybe I should go there instead.

I let out a loud breath as I arrived at the place. The old tree was still there, still waving its leaves along with the wind. I smiled and let the cold breeze hit my face as I sat on the grass.

The place was very peaceful. The weather was fine. Everything seems... perfect.

I closed my eyes and leaned my back against the tree trying to get a nice comfortable seat alone when suddenly a pile of leaves rained down on me.

My eyebrows furrowed as I stood up and dusted myself. I looked up and saw Carlos with a sly grin on his face. That jerk.

"Aww, what's wrong? Did I ruin your moment?" he smiled teasingly.

"HA. HA. very funny." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms as I watch him jump down from the tree. "How long have you been up there?"

"Not that long. I just finished my chores and decided to breathe some fresh air for a while." he walks up to me with both hands on his pocket. "Why? Are you... meeting someone here?"

"What? No. Just thought about visiting this place again."

"Why? Cause it reminds you of that jerk Mateo?" he scoffed.

"Why are you being so rude to him? He didn't even do something that hurt you."

"Yeah, but he did hurt someone who's close to me." he says. I looked down and didn't say anything. Is he talking about me? He shouldn't be affected about it, right?

"Anyways, I have to go get something to eat. Wanna come?" I thought for a moment. "Don't worry, it's my treat. I won't rob you." he chuckled.

I nod my head. "Yeah sure."

"Now that's a good girl." he pats my head.

I pushed his hands away. "I'm not your stupid dog."

"Whatever. You're still mine." he says and grabbed my hand. Which unexpectedly made me blush. (yeah cause you're a simp)

"Excuse me? What did you say?"

"I wasn't saying anything."

"Yes you were."

"Oh just shut up before I do anything else."

I just shook my head and ignored him. What fuck is going on with this guy? I swear he's being more confident day by day.

We soon arrived at the town square. There were a few children and elders who greeted us along the way. I was standing behind him while he was ordering us some ice cream when my eyes landed upon a group of girls throwing daggers at me.

"Y/n," I heard my name being called. I looked at Carlos who glanced at the girls I was looking at and then back at me. "What flavor do you want? And are those girls glaring at you?"

"F/n, (flavor name) and uh, no... I think. Don't mind them." he nods his head and proceeded with the order.

I just shrug my shoulders and minded my own business, completely ignoring them until I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was them.

"Can you move? You're holding up the line."

"I'm with him." I pointed at Carlos.

"Oh so you know Carlos Madrigal? Can you give him this?" she handed me a letter with a heart shape sealed on it.

"Oh I'm sorry but I can't. He doesn't accept trash-- I mean letters." I fake smiled.

"Did you just say trash? Excuse me but I spent blood sweat and tears for this letter."

"Then why don't you give it to him yourself? If you're so desperate to receive a more personal rejection." I smirked.

She lets out a dramatic gasp and before I knew it, a hard slap landed on my face. But I didn't show any reactions to it at all. I could just burn her face off in an instant.

I balled my fist and felt my hand getting warm to attack her but then an ice cream landed straight at her face. I looked behind and saw Carlos ranging in anger.

"What the fu--" she stopped mid sentence when she saw Carlos who was now standing in front of me.

"Oops, I slipped." he says and pulled me by the waist, we left without hearing another word from the girl.

When we were away from the crowd, he stopped walking and looked at my face with worry. "Are you alright? Why did you let that girl slap you?" he handed me the ice cream and cupped my face.

"Gosh, I'm fine, okay? It didn't hurt that much." I shoved his hands away.

"What do you mean you're okay? It's glowing red." he grabs the ice cream on my hand and gave me an arepa. "Eat it first." he says.

I couldn't do anything so I just did what he said. "Done. Now give me back my ice cream."

"Your ice cream is stuck on that girl's face."

"What?? That was mine??"

"Uh, yeah and this is mine." he points at the ice cream on his hand. "It's okay, we can share if you want." he says with a sly grin.

"Uh yeah, like that's gonna happen. I'd rather starve , thank you." I said sarcastically.

"Fine, then starve." he says and walks away.

Ugh! This bitch.

TIME SKIP (brought to you by: Carlos' ice cream)

The proposal went well. We all celebrated with a feast. I mostly enjoyed the food Tia Julieta cooked. There were also alcoholic drinks for the adults.

I wonder if Carlos is asleep, he went to his room earlier but I wasn't convinced so I decided to take a look. I went up to his room and quietly opened the door.

I sneaked in and saw him holding a glass. "Are you drinking??" I exclaimed.
