☆I want you to choose me ☆

Chapter 2

The days passed quietly, the Madrigal family used their gifts to help the town, Luisa helping with heavy stuff but now taking breaks from time to time, Isabela helping decorating and also practicing with the new plants that she can make grow and on Mirabel's side, she kept wondering "who is the person that Mariano loves?" And if she could somehow help him with that person...maybe he actually felt something for Isabela...or maybe it's Luisa, although Luisa has not shown any love interest towards anyone, this worried Mirabel, she really did not want Mariano to be hurt again by rejection...after all they were friends... right?

Mirabel was in town playing with the children and some asked her what she had to do to help her family regain magic since apparently they did not get tire of hearing that story over and over again.

-And then my uncle Bruno took my hands and his eyes shone green and he was thus creating a vision of the future- Mirabel narrates making movements with her hands and making magic sounds, making the children's eyes light up when they hear her tell that part for the umpteenth time -And the image in the vision was my sister Isabela and I giving each other a hug, but it should be noted that at that time we were not on good terms, but we both communicated and in that way we were able to calm our differences and when we gave each other that hug the candle flame became more intense and the cracks in the house were repaired-

-Yaay that's great!! Awesome!!- said the exited children giving little jumps

-Alright alright kids it's already noon you have to go back home and have something to eat- said Mirabel with a smile

-Aww but we didn't get to the end of the story- they said looking at Mirabel with expectant faces
-I'll continue the story tomorrow...is that okay?- she said with a smile, being greeted by a group hug of children excited to see her the next day
-Bye bye Mirabel!!- the children said and Mirabel wave them goodbye hoping for them to get home safely

-You are amazing telling stories- said a voice taking Mirabel by surprise making her jump in her spot and turning around quickly to see the person who was talking meeting face to face with Mariano

-Sorry!! Didn't mean to scare you- he said apologetically
-Oh it's alright...just didn't expect it, how have you been?- she asked with a smile as she started walking on her way to the Madrigal house

-Oh I've been fine, with some scolding from my mother but everything alright- said Mariano as if was something of everyday while he walked by Mirabel's side

-Wow why would she be scolding you?- said Mirabel looking worried at him because well it was Mariano what kind of bad thing can he actually do he has always being kind to everyone
-Oh you see, she had very high expectations of my relationship with Dolores...she even said she expected 5 grandchildren from us- Mariano said with a smile looking to the floor as if it was the most interesting thing at the moment

-Aw come here- said Mirabel extending her arms as if she was ready to hug him -you don't have to meet the expectations of others, do what makes "you" happy...from my sisters I learned that always looking strong or looking perfect does not mean that you have to be that all the time since you can even lose track of who you really are and that is really painful and tiring-

Mariano accepted the hug with a smile -You always have the right words at the right time- he said looking into her eyes -Mirabel I would like to buy you a coffee tomorrow night...if you are okay with that-
-Sure! That would be nice after telling the kids the end of the story even tho they have heard it before, they are still as excited as the first time they heard it- Mirabel said with a smile at the same time that they both arrived at the entrance of the Madrigal casita

-Well see you tomorrow Mirabel, I'll come to pick you up after you finish with the kids- said Mariano starting his way home
-Yeah!! See you tomorrow!!- she said with a smile waving goodbye and entering in la casita -....wait!! Did I just agreed to a date with Mariano?!-

To which la casita began to move the floor and some things of excitement, it seemed that the casita knew something that she did not
