the scar of the Madrigal

chapter 44

Another chapter I wrote at 3 AM be warn it gets weird

Last time

she flinched a little but it was a good flinch feeling Mirabel next to her close enough for there arms to touch*

Mirabel; I'll... I'll make sure to get you a good date mi....mi jardinera

*Mirabel mumbled embarrassed of the lame nickname. Isabela smiled softly and gave Mirabel a soft kiss on the forehead*

Isabela:I look forward do it mi pequeña cactus

Now

*After a full day of walking Mirabel and Isabela made it to Hosea's farm, they walked up to the porch seeing hosea there waiting for them*

Hosea:took you long enough it's almost night time

Mirabel:my god you can really bitch about anything can't you? Well I'm sorry it's take a while when I'm carrying a cart full of merchandise and a whole 21 year old woman

Isabela;my leg got tired!

Mirabel:adults are talking sweetie just do your job and look pretty

Isabela:well one of us has to be I was fortunate to have both looks and brains

Mirabel:yeah a brain just like the scarecrow from the wizard of Oz

Hosea: alright, this can go on forever but I'm stopping whatever this is now let's get inside before those things come out, Mirabel take the merchandise to the barn while Isabela helps me with the food

*Mirabel nodded and left. Hosea and Isabela walked inside to get started with dinner*

Hosea: something different from the two of you. Normally you would treat each other like cats and dogs when you would bicker

*Isabela blushed and hummed chopping up vegetables*

Isabela: well....after Gabriela's passing, we've...gotten to talking, and while yes I wasn't the...best si..i mean friend I wasn't the best friend to her back in encanto

*Isabela said quickly almost letting the truth slip*

Isabela:I've changed, we both had and we...decided that we wanted to change again....together

Hosea:ah I see pity your last name is mirasol and it's not your first name. that way I could tease Mira about dating  mira

Mirabel:I would be appalled at you for that since that's a kind of joke jack would make, your better then that

*Mirabel said walking inside and taking off the prosthetic putting next to Hosea 1886 Winchester rifle*

Hosea:hm, maybe in my younger days my brain isn't what it used to be

*Mirabel tried to grab Hosea's gun but as fast as lighting Hosea grabbed it first from its holster and pointed it at Mirabel's chin. Mirabel grinned*

Mirabel:old man huh? You know that lie doesn't work with me, your as sharp as you've always been

*Hosea and Mirabel share a laugh while Isabela was taken breath to calm her beating heart*

Isabela:god i hate these games you two play with each other oh...oh God my heart...

Mirabel:yeah yeah it's all in good fun anyhow it's not like we're hurting anybody

Isabela:tell that to my poor heart I swear I'll turn grey by the time I'm 30

Mirabel:you mean your not 30 already? Since you sure look it

*Mirabel said in a teasing tone Isabela gave her a furious pout that made Mirabel chuckle grabbing the cut vegetables putting them in the stew*
