Chapter 28 Breakfast

Olivia's POV

I was still drinking coffee while everyone was talking about the day. My plate was still full in front of me. I picked up the pitcher of coffee and filled my cup again. I heard Mirabelle laugh softly and I looked at her as I took another sip. "What?". She took a bite of her food and spoke. "Nothing, you're just enjoying your coffee way too much." She laughed a little harder and I looked at her accusingly. "Excuse me! This coffee is my life!". Matteo laughed too and I took another sip of my coffee.

Meanwhile, I noticed Camilo was staring at me. He looked at me and nodded towards my plate. Probably that I needed to eat. 'Soon', I lip-synched with my mouth. He looked at me with compelling eyes. 'No now' he lip-synched back to me. I looked at him and took another sip of my coffee. He kept staring at me with his funny, compelling look in his eyes. I didn't eat because he tells me to. "So let's talk about last night.". Suddenly I heard Abuella say. I looked at her and saw that she was staring straight at Delores and Isabella. "Don't feel like it, thank you Abuella." Isabella said right away. Everyone looked at her in surprise. No one says 'No' to Alma. "That's not a question Isabella." Alma said right away. It sounded more judgmental and irritated.

As I sat listening to Alma and Isabella, I heard someone clear his throat. I looked ahead and saw Camilo looking at me. 'Eat now come on' he lip-synched again and nodded again towards my plate. I put down my empty cup and crossed my arms in protest. He looked up with big irritated eyes and nodded again at my plate. But I only looked at him with crossed arms. "What are you doing?". Mirabelle whispered softly in my ear. "He wants me to eat. But I won't eat if someone tells me to eat." I said softly. And my eyes fell on Camilo again. He signaled to me again but I looked at him. He crossed his arms too and we had a staring contest. What seemed to last forever.

"No Abuella I'm not going to talk to her." I heard Isabella say. I still had my eyes on Camilo but heard everything. "I'm all sorry but if you'll excuse me." And I heard footsteps go away. I heard another sigh. "I'm sorry for all this. Thank you for coming for dinner. Enjoy your day. FAMILY MADRIGAL!" Abuella shouted at the last, and the Madrigals called after it, and everyone stood up. I also stood up without breaking eye contact. "Camilo!!!" I heard someone scream. It sounded like Lela and as I thought Lela came running. And gave Camilo a hug that lost his eye contact with me. I gave myself a pat on the back and followed Mirabelle into the kitchen.

Mirabelle was in the kitchen with her mother helping with the dishes. "Can I help you?". I asked as I walked in. "That's sweet Olivia thank you." I grabbed the towel from Mirabelle's shoulder and helped her dry.

Camilo's POV

"Camilo!!". Suddenly I heard a call. It was Lela who walked in. She gave me a hug and then lost my eye contact with Olivia. shit. When I let go of the hug I didn't saw Olivia anymore. "Did you sleep well?". asked Lela. "Yes, you too?". She nodded cheerfully, a little too cheerfully. "I'm going with my parents to my grandpa and grandma are you coming with me?". she asked as she grabbed my hands. "No I'm sorry I still have plenty of chores to do. I'll see you later tonight." I kissed her on the cheek and she walked away. "What was that?" Suddenly I heard behind me. I looked behind me and saw Delores and Mamá standing there.

"She wanted me to go with her too her grandpa and grandma. But I still have to-". "Not that Camilo.". Delores interrupted me. I looked at them confused. "Olivia.". I immediately looked at them wide-eyed. "I don't know what you're talking about." I said as I turned to walk away but Mama stopped me. "Sure you do. You care about her." said Mama. "Sure I do she's a good friend.". I saw them roll their eyes and they started talking again. "Not that sweetie. You care about her much more than friends. You grabbed a plate of food for her which you never did for Lela." said mom. "Yes, you kept refilling her cup of coffee." Delores went further. "You even tried to get her to eat while she was busy drinking her coffee." Mama went on again. "Yes, she didn't want to eat. You have to eat when you're having breakfast. But she's so wonderfully stubborn that it's annoying.".
