Kaiketsu of Zorro - Diego x reader

Chapter 8

*Warning! Vulgar words ahead!*

You walked around and nervously fiddled with your hands. Suddenly, you flinched and got a flashback of crying in front of Lalita, Diego and Bernard.

"I will never cry in front of anyone ever again!"

You promised yourself while clenching your fists. That's when you got another flashback.

"No. I will never. I will never fall in love with a guy. It will just hinder me and my life more. I've already been tricked once because of love, this will never happen again!"

You frowned to yourself and got even angrier at yourself.

"How dare I brake my own promises!"

You yelled at yourself in your head. You fell on your neatly folded bed and felt like crying out of guilt but you stopped yourself.

"Remember Y/N! Don't cry! And more importantly, forget about Diego!"

You coaxed yourself to stop crying and stopped feeling butterflies. You made a list of pros and cons of Diego and proudfully crossed your arms across your chest.

"See, he's not as good as you thought. So you shouldn't go crazy over him! He's just another, ordinary guy."

That's when you looked out the window and saw Diego, Maria, Bernard, and Lalita standing outside at the porch, waiting for someone. You wanted to find out who they were waiting for, so you came outside. You walked downstairs and unto the porch, standing next to Lalita.

"Hey, Lalita. Who are you guys waiting for?"

You asked as you came next to her. She turned around and quickly answered.

"I don't know. But Diego said that it's someone he knew back in Spain."

You nodded and saw a carriage pull up but you continued to mind your own business and talk to Lalita.

"So, is it someone you know?"

Lalita swayed her head.

"I have no idea, I don't even know the name of this person."

You nodded, appreciating her answer.

"Alright, I guess we'll just have to wait and see-"

Your sentence broke off at that, when you felt someone slap right into you. This person was about the same height as Diego and had a silky overcoat. The first thing that reached you was the light amount of cologne on this person's shirt. You closed your eyes and felt the person hugging you intensely and then letting go.

"Oh. Goodness Gracious! Sorry. I thought you were Diego."

The male awkwardly said while rubbing his neck with his right hand. He had some fancy, elegant clothing on and he had orange, curly hair. He seemed to be of the same age as you, Diego and Lalita. He also wore glasses.

"Are you by any chance, Signorita Lalita? Diego said that you were very beautiful and that is indeed true. But I would describe you as more of a cute personality rather than a beautiful or mature one."

You laughed and put your right hand up to your chin.

"Sorry to ruin your imagination but I'm not Lalita. My name is Y/N. And that is Lalita."

You pointed in the direction that Lalita was at.

"Oh, forgive me!"

He quickly stated and swiftly walked up to Lalita, boldly shaking her hand. He did the same with Maria before Lalita asked who the man was.
