~Mirabelle~When I woke up, I saw someone staring at me. My visions were blurry so I couldn't make out the face but I could tell it was Mariano. Just before I could lean in and kiss him, I felt a soft slap on my face and that was when I realized I was actually going to kiss Gen."The fuck you saw him in your dreams?!" She asked me, laughing.I groaned. " I didn't only see him. I did a lot of things to him.""You had a sex dream?" A small smile curled up at the side of her mouth when she saw the look on my face. "It wasn't only a dream, it came to pass, didn't it?"I nodded, biting my lips. "I didn't know what came over me this morning. Mariano is slowly turning me into someone I'm not.""At least he doesn't deprive you. He gives it to you however and whenever you want it. Come on," she climbed off the bed and reached out for me. "Let's go make breakfast together. I miss having you around."I groaned, falling back on the bed. "I don't think I can get up. It feels as if my body has been
~Mirabelle~I had confessed everything to Mason today. I had held it all in for a long time now that I couldn't hold it back anymore. I was going insane. I needed to tell someone. I needed an assurance. And I was so grateful I got that from Mason. He didn't judge me for any of my actions and he even told me to give Mariano a second chance. He didn't judge me for having misplaced feelings for Kidd neither did he judge Mariano for everything that has happened. I was so glad to have him as my best friend even though I know I might be endangering his life as well, he took that risk by listening to me. And I was grateful. I was glad. It felt as if something has been lifted off my chest.Taking off my shoes, I walked in the living room. The whole room was quiet when I walked in and I was sure Annie must have gone home since it was so late already.Sliding off my skirt, blouse and bra, I was left only in my underwear as I plopped down on a couch to relax, my eyes closing. I had only closed m
~Mirabelle~I needed someone to lean on at the moment. No matter how much I tried to deny it, it was obvious, I was slowly losing it. I was glad Mason didn't push me away when I appeared here at his doorsteps, three days ago. At first, he did indirectly but at least, he didn't let me leave. He was the only person who knew my situation with Mariano and I was glad he didn't judge me for it. I also hope I wasn't endangering his life by staying at his condo he no longer lives at to prevent Mariano from tracking or stalking me.I was just fixing myself some toasts when the door opened and Mason walked in."Hey.""Hey.""I got you some supplies." He said and placed a grocery bag on the dining table as I sat down to eat."Mason, I've told you that there is no need for you doing all these for me---""I already told you it's a pleasure."I stared at him for a few seconds. "Thanks. Wanna join me?" I asked him, pouring myself a glass of juice."No, I already had dinner before coming here. And um
~Mariano~She had fallen asleep before we arrived. Scrambling through her purse, I pulled out her key and carried her out of the car. On getting to her unit, I inserted the key and carried her inside. After I had placed her on the bed, I untied her hair and stared at her legs that had bruises under. Same goes for her knees.I got up and moved to the kitchen where I switched on the cooker and placed a kettle of water on it. After that, I scurried to the bathroom to prepare a hot bath for her. As soon as I was done, I moved back to the bedroom, where I saw her sitting up and rubbing her fingers over her forehead."You have an headache?"She nodded.I sighed."It's a good thing I brought some aspirins. Go take a bath. I'll prepare some food for you so you'd take it along with the drugs. Eaten?"She shook her head.I sighed again. I didn't want to get mad at her now for totally ignoring her health and wellbeing. "Just go. I'll fix something for you to eat.""Can't stand on my own."In a
~*Mirabelle*~"Mira? Mira. Mira!"I snapped back to reality and saw a frown forming on mom's face. "What was that?""What was what?" I stared at her blankly."You zoned out. That's very unlike you. Tell me, what's wrong?"Uh--nothing?""You know you can't lie to me right? I'm your mother, remember?""Mom, I.. I want to ask you something.""Go on.""Have you ever thought of someone else while you were with dad?" Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets and I was forced to add, "Not in that way though...just like um.. have you ever just like...have misplaced feelings? Like for a past lover or something? I knew I shouldn't be asking you this. Don't answer it. Nevermind.""A few times."I was surprised when she answered. "What?""I've thought about some of the guys I've been with before. The ones I was very close to and how different my life would have been if I had chose them instead of Kurt. Listen to me, Mirabelle," she covered my hand on the table with hers. "No other man is worth
*~Mirabelle~*"Oh, Aunt Belle, I don't think I can do this."Madison told me as I handed her a tray of food. "He's going to be so mad! Remember how I treated him when I first got here?""Oh come on. Mariano doesn't know how to stay mad at someone for long.""What am I going to say? That I prepared this?""No, we prepared this. Don't worry, he's not going to scold you, I promise. I'll just help you knock and when he says, 'come in', you'll go in and drop the food on his table. Don't forget to do the bow before you exit, is that clear?""Oh okay. Let's do this. The worst he can do is scold me and he's not going to do that right?"Few minutes later,"Out! And don't you ever come back here!"Madison hurried out in tears with the tray of food. I quickly took it from her."See, I told you he's still mad at me."I frowned. He shouldn't have shouted at her like that. "It's okay. Let's just leave him alone for now. Come on, let's go." We were already heading down the stairs when we heard him ca
~Mirabelle~I didn't know how long I had been lying on this bed but I wasn't prepared of getting up from it anytime soon. I could stay days, weeks or months even on this bed without moving an inch because that is the only alternative I'm seeing here into getting out of my problems."I think it's time we put an end to this relationship. Maybe it would be better this way. For us to go our separate ways. For us to live our separate lives. Maybe this is what's best."Tears rolled down my eyes as I buried my face deeper into the sheets. I didn't know my son's had gotten so loud because the next thing I felt was a hand on my back."It's going to be fine, baby. Everything will be okay.""No, it won't mom. It's over now. This is all my fault. If I had tried to reach out early then none of this would have happened. It's my fault that Mariano and I...are going our separate ways. I don't know...mom, why is all this bad things happening to me? Am I cursed? Why do I keep falling for the wrong peop
~Mirabelle~I didn't utter a word to anyone. I just barged in and went straight to my room. I wasn't in the mood today a word to anyone but I guess that wasn't going to stop Gen from saying anything.I went straight to the bathroom, lifted my shirt up and turned my aide to mirror. Ha. There it was. My little bump. I ran my hand over it as chills ran down my spine still unable to register the fact that I was actually carrying a life human inside me. A baby girl. My very own little princess. I thought I would be my dad's princess forever but here I was, standing with another princess inside of me. I still couldn't believe it was real."Beautiful, isn't it?"I gasped, quickly dropping my shirt. "Uh..mom. How long have you been standing there?""Almost ten minutes?""Oh. So you do know now." I said and leaned over the sink. "Mom, I'm so confused. I don't know what to do. I'm just...I don't think I deserve this, to be honest, mom. I feel like this is too much for me. I don't deserve this
