You're enchanting
"Natasha please help me with this vase!" Natasha's mother asked while balancing different bouquets of flowers in colorful vases. "Sure thing Mama!" The girl slid down the banister of their new home and grabbed two of the vases from her mother and set them on the table.
"Mama! You're over exerting yourself again. Please sit." Nikita, Natasha's mother sighed as she sat the other vase on the table. The duo had moved to the village to get more in touch with Nikita's culture. Natasha's father was an american explorer who passed away on one of his groundbreaking expeditions.
The only thing found in the wreck being his gold leaf necklace. Something Natasha now wears to remind herself of him. Nikita on the other hand was a florist. Dealing with different and exotic flowers of the rarest caliber. Her arrangements were requested by the bushels.
"Can you please deliver these flowers to the house on the hill?" Natasha tilted her head. The house on the hill? "It belongs to the Madrigal family. They ordered these flower arrangements for a ceremony. The whole village is invited so hurry back to get ready." The teen nodded and picked the vases up. Placing them in a wagon she kissed her mother's cheek and tugged the wagon out the house.
The sound of the wheels on the ground made a clickity clackity sound that made Natasha hum. A small beat soon turned into a song. The townspeople smiling at the teen unbothered at her burst into song. Some of them even enamored at the sight. One of them being Camilo Madrigal. The shape shifter being in town for a little me time before the ceremony started.
He had noticed Natasha by her pretty face and equally gorgeous singing voice. Even the way she moved her hips enchanted him. "Aye Mami got some moves." The teen smirked watching the girl making her way up the hill to the house. "Wait she's going to Casita? Maybe I should help." Camilo rushed to Natasha just a vase falls out her wagon.
"Ah! The flowers!" Camilo nearly tripped but caught his footing while grabbing the vase just in time. "Here you go! They're all good!" Natasha smiled and hugged the boy and taking the vase of flowers and places them back in the wagon. This time tying them down.
"Gracias! I don't know what I'd do if they fell down the hill!" Camilo blushed and tried to play it off cooly. "Oh it's fine! I was just in the right place at the right time! Um... You need help?" Natasha nodded at the offer. "Yes please!" "Alright! Let's get these up the hill chica!"
It didn't take long for the teens to reach Casita. The doors opening by themselves was something Natasha wasn't expecting. "Um... That happened." Camilo laughed at the amazement of the girl. "It's a magical house! So I'm used to it. Soon you will too!" Walking into the house Camilo helped Natasha roll the wagon inside.
Preparations we underway for Camilo's little brother's gift ceremony. "What's going on Camilo? That lady seems to be freaking out really bad." Natasha pointed out Pepa, Camilo's mother. Who was fussing over the flowers that have yet to arrive. "She ordered the flowers. That's my mom." Camilo said while rolling the wagon to his mother with Natasha following.
"Um hello Ma'am. I brought the flowers you ordered." Pepa let out a loud sigh of relief seeing the arrangements. "They look better than I expected! How beautiful! Yes these are absolutely perfect!" Natasha smiled and nodded in response. Looking around the house from her spot. "What's going on?" "A gift ceremony for my little brother. He gets his gift today."
Camilo grinned as he took Natasha by the hand and led her around Casita. "Gift ceremony? Like presents?" Letting out a hearty chuckle Camilo sat Natasha on a chair in the kitchen and pulled a seat next to her. Together they looked at the family tree.
"That's my Abuela at the top. She's the one in charge. Then there's my mom. Her gift is that she can control the weather through her emotions. My dad who is giftless and so is my cousin Maribel and her dad. Maribel's mom , her gift is that she can heal others through food. Then there's my big sister Dolores. Her gift is that she has super hearing. My other two big cousins are Isabela and Luisa. Maribel's sisters. Isabela can grow plants and Luisa is super strong!"
While telling her about his family tree Camilo couldn't help but stare at Natasha. The more he stared the more he was blown away by her beauty. "What's your gift Camilo?" His heart stopped beating hearing her soft voice say his name. It shouldn't have turned him on the way it did but his body betrayed him.
"I can shape shift! I can become anyone! Even you... I can show you if you want..." He said rubbing the back of his neck. Natasha nodded enthusiastically. "Yes please!! Oooh! Can you be that guy?" Natasha pointed to a man who gave a basket to a girl Natasha assumed was Maribel.
"You got it!" Camilo stood up and shifted into the man. Then back to his regular self. Natasha's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's so cool!!" The two conversed until it was time to get ready for the ceremony. "I'll see you soon?" Camilo asked Natasha at her doorstep. "Yep! I'll see you then Camilo!"
Natasha smiled as she closed her door leaving the boy to his thoughts. On his way up the hill Camilo smiled to himself. "You're enchanting Natasha. Truly enchanting." Unbeknownst to Camilo there was someone else who aso thought the same. A figure he failed to mention to the girl. Bruno.
