Camila
"¿De que quieres hablar?" I ask Zabdiel as we both sit down on the sofa.
"De todo." Zabdiel says to me while looking into my eyes. I look away because it's hard to be mad at him when he's looking at me like that.
"A ver dime lo que me tienes que decir para apurar las cosas." I say in a cold tone.
"Te amo Camila, te amo como un loco y tú lo sabes! Muero por ti, vivo por ti! Eres la última cosa en mi mente cuando me voy a dormir y la primera cosa que pienso en las mañanas! Se que sueno cursi pero es verdad... Te amo y te necesito en mi vida de nuevo!" He basically shouts at me.
Why does Zabdiel have this affect on me? What he just told me touched my heart like he always manages to do and I feel like crying. I feel like telling him "Yo también te amo Zabdiel!" and kissing him passionately but I just can't do that.
"No creo que tu novia le gustaría escuchar lo que me acabas de decir." I say.
"¡Por favor, ella no es mi novia! Le pedí que actuara como si fuéramos algo solo para darte celos!" He confesses and I bite my lip to prevent me from smiling. Smiling would give it away that I'm glad that nothing went on between them.
"¿Como me pudiste hacer eso?" I push him. Even though it was fake, I still got extremely jealous.
"¡Lo sabía, te dieron celos en verme con otra!" He calls me out.
"Si y que?! ¡Me dieron celos! ¡Me hervía la sangre en verlos juntos! ¡Me daba rabia!" I shout in his face.
"Se que darían celos. Tú me amas así como yo te amo a ti!" He says while holding my face.
We are both full of anger and frustration. I push him not too hard and he presses his lips against mine. He's on top of me as we're both making out on the sofa. I bite his lip and pull his hair, whoever saw us right now would think we are insane.
"¡Ya, Zabdiel!" I push him off of me. "Ya hablamos so ya vete."
"No, no me voy a ir." He says.
"¿Como que no te vas a ir? Esta es mi casa y si yo quiero, te me largas de aquí."
"Te quiero enseñar algo." Zabdiel says and then pulls out some type of digital A/V adapter. He attaches it to his phone and then plugs it in the TV. He turns on the TV and I just stare at him confused.
An old video of Zabdiel and I starts on the tv and I instantly recognize it. It's a video we took on the Ferris wheel when we were 15 and I went to Puerto Rico and had just met him. I'm already feeling nostalgic.
"Aquí estoy con la hermosa de mi Camila. Dame un besito, mi amor?" Zabdiel had told me. In the video, I give him a small but passionate kiss. In the video I look so happy and infactuaded with him.
"Dímelo papi!" I mimicked his accent.
"Cami y Zabdi para siempre!" He said and kissed my hand and the video ends.
"Mira que felices somos cuando estamos juntos." Zabdiel says after we watched the video.
"Éramos felices." I remark.
"Te acuerdas la primera vez que hicimos el amor? Ese día pensaba que se me iba a explotar el corazón!" He shouts again and then pulls out a ring box. I automatically remember those rings, they belonged to his grandparents. He puts one ring on me and I don't hesitate.
Flashback
"Por eso te quiero prometer que donde estés, siempre te amare. Aunque no estés a mi lado, te seré incondicional." He told me while pulling out a ring out of a ring box. It's two rings, actually. "Esto es nuestra promesa de amor."
He first slides the ring on my finger then I slide the other ring on his finger. They're so beautiful and it means so much to me.
"Estos eran de mis abuelos. Me dijo mi abuela que si algún día me enamorara, que se lo dé a la persona que amo. No se que me diría mi abuela en saber que se los estoy dando a alguien a mis quince años pero tú eres el amor de mi vida, en eso estoy seguro." He informed me.
"Nunca dudes de mi amor por ti. Soy completamente tuya... Para siempre." I told him.
"Para siempre?" He asked. "Para siempre." I assured.
From the way Zabdiel is looking at me, he knows what I was just reminiscing about.
"Tú te acuerdas de eso día perfectamente así como yo. No hay amor más puro que el nuestro!" He says to me.
"¡Tú fuiste muy malo conmigo este mes pasado!" I remind him for all the times he humiliated and insulted me.
"¿Como me pudiste hacer algo así Camila?" Why is he bringing back the past?
"¿Que querías que hiciera? ¡Me abandonaste! ¡Te rogué de rodillas y me abandonaste hace dos años!" I yell. Now he's the one on his knees right now.
"Camila, te amo y nunca me cansare de decir que te amo! Por favor perdóname, te lo pido de rodillas! Sé que es sido muy malo contigo pero perdóname! Soy un idiota por lo que te hice. Hemos sufrido muchísimo y creo que ya es tiempo que volvamos! Yo no puedo vivir sin it!" He's on his knees with his arms wrapped around my legs crying.
"¿De verdad estas pidiendo disculpas o es otra venganza tuya?"
"Camila, mírame a los ojos!" He demands and I do just that. Our faces our centimeters away from each other. "De verdad crees que te estoy mintiendo?"
Sus ojos... Sus ojos dicen toda la verdad. Son los mismos ojos de que me enamore a la primera vista hace dos años. Yes, I believe him because I love him with everything I have. He's made mistakes but so have I and I think it's time to move past our errors. I can't even explain the love I have for him and I know I'll never love anyone besides him. I see myself in him. We've suffered so much together that I can't take any second longer without him.
I make him stand up and I break down crying in his arms. "Ay Zabdiel, Zabdiel, mi Zabdiel! Te perdono!"
"Mi amor! Mi vida!" He's sobbing on my shoulder crouching down as I'm running my hands through his hair.
"C-Como te extrañaba! Mi amor!" I don't even know how I'm managing to speak of how hard I am crying.
"Nadie, pero nadie, te va a amar como yo te amo!" He looks me in the eyes.
"Lo sé, lo sé." I wipe his tears. "¿Me perdonas a mí también?"
"Ya olvidemos todo lo malo y negativo, bebe. Hemos sufrido mucho pero ahora nos toca ser felices." He smiles through his tears.
Erick! Erick finally crosses my mind. I have to break up with him no matter how much I don't want to hurt him.
"Antes que seamos algo oficialmente, tengo que terminar con Erick." I say. "No le quiero romper el corazón a alguien que a sido lo mejor conmigo."
"Lo sé pero el tiene que saber que siempre fuiste mía así como yo soy tuyo." He says. "¿Cuando lo harás?"
"Mañana." I reply.
Zabdiel notices my frown. "Ya no pensemos en eso. Mejor estemos felices que ya estamos juntos."
We go to my room and I change in something to sleep in, in my bathroom. I lay down next to him on my bed while he's shirtless and in some sweatpants he has left behind here. We don't have sex although we do make out for a brief moment and the rest is spent talking.
"Te amo, mi Camila." He says.
"Te amo, mi Zabdiel." I say back to him.
"Soy el hombre más feliz del mundo." He tells me.
We fall asleep in each other's warm arms. I know I made the right decision in forgiving him because I feel so happy. Todo se siente tan correcto y amo a Zabdiel con toda mi alma.
