~Mirabelle~I was the kitchen making lunch when Camila came to inform me that someone was here to see me."Kidd." He was the living room when I got there.I didn't know what to say. He came all the way to my house to see me."What are you doing here?""You've been ignoring my calls, Mirabelle. And since I just came back from Tokyo, I thought of paying you a surprise visit but when I got to your office, I was told you resigned. Why?""Well, it's nothing. I just um.." I cleared my throat. "I'm thinking of starting up my own business.""Well, that's good. I'm so proud of you, baby. You've got my full support." I smiled. "So what do you wanna do?""A restaurant.""What?""I want to open a restaurant. Start up my own business and you know, live my life.""A restaurant, why?""It's something I've always wanted to do since I was a child.""But that's bullshit, Mirabelle, you wouldn't know how to handle a restaurant. I mean, look at you. You barely even know how to run a company on your own.

Two weeks later~Mirabelle~"Okay, dad! That's the rest of the stuff?"He jammed his booth shut. "Yeah."I sighed and moved forward to lean on the bodice of his car. "I still can't believe this is happening. I've actually moved out from your house. It's not that easy.""Yeah, we should celebrate.""We will. Doing the housewarming party, I guess. As for now, I need to get settled in. And there's a lot of things I have to change about the house. The decor, the curtains, the flowers, the shelves and some other stuffs in the kitchen too. Likewise the bedroom. Once this is all done, we'll celebrate. Together. As a family.""Yeah," He smiled. "We will."After days of searching for an apartment, we finally found one here in Glendale, twenty minutes away from our home. It was a very spacious apartment, two bedroom flat and it also came with a swimming pool. Although the interior decoration of the house was pretty nice, typical me would want to change almost everything about the house. Mom was

~Mirabelle~"What are you making?" Dad asked me when he stepped in the kitchen after taking a bath."Some cheesy Mac and cheese. Also with some Pringle coated fried chicken. Ten more minutes and I'm coming up.""Well, would you like me to assist you? Like do you need help with anything?""No. I can take care of everything. You, just set the table.""You know this feels like old times. You and I.. cooking in the kitchen together. Your sister and your mother waiting in the dining.""Yeah. It feels like it. Just that there's no one waiting for us at the dining anymore. It's just you and me. You know, like old times.""So, have you thought of when to open your restaurant? You're using the place, your grandmother gifted you right?"Yes. And I've gone to check it out. It's amazing if you ask me. I just can't wait to start. I've got countless applications from people applying for various positions in the restaurant. As from on Monday, I'll be hiring.""That's good. Well, I've got an idea." H

~Mirabelle~"...and that was how the girl ended the life of 232 men, including the life of the man she loves.""Really?"I nodded, scrubbing his hair harder with my fingers."But that's just a sad story. Why the hell are you even telling me, Belle?"I shrugged. "I don't know, maybe, I have a gut feeling that the woman you're in love with now might end you sooner or later."He laughed. "Well, you see, that's the problem. I'm not in love with anyone. I don't love."I paused to look at his reflection in the mirror which was also staring back at me. "You don't?""Nope.""Why?""I've been hurt too many times. And besides, where I'm from, we don't really do the love shit probably because we consider it a weakness. The greatest weakness of man that has ever existed.""That's not true. Love is a beautiful thing. I mean... that's what I heard.""That's what you heard? Well, what about you? Are you in love with anyone?"Was I? "Well, I was. A long time ago. But that didn't end well. I was used,

~Laurel~I was lying down on the bed when Kurt appeared out from the bathroom, naked, as he starked towards me. "What's that?" He asked, cleaning his hair with a towel. He was probably referring to what I was doing with my laptop."Just databases. You know, ever since Mariano stepped in partly, sales has been ridiculously high and fast. Dude knows how to pull the crowd with him.""Was that why you sold half the company to him?""No. I sold half of the company to him because I trust him. And I owe him. During those years I spent with Luciano, Mariano has always been there for me. And Gabriel. And so I thought, maybe, now was the time to repay him.""With Mira's position?""Ugh. Mira doesn't rant about that to you, does she? You're just making a fuss about this. Learn to mind your own business, Kurt. It pays.""Is that an insult? Oh so now, you're insulting me because of him?""Look, I wasn't insulting you. I mean...you and Mariano even have some things in common.""Like?""He suffered

~Mirabelle~"My name is Grace Harbot. I'm from New York, California. I'm twenty seven years of age and I'm a graduate of the institute of Culinary Education, California. Studied Culinary arts.""So uh.. Grace, it says in your letter that you applied for a cook position?" I said, staring at her file."Yes yes, I did.""Why do you want this job? Yeah, I know you said you need the money but why do you really want this job? What really inspires you?""Cooking. I've been cooking since I was seven. It's been my dream to one day become a chef and you know...mix two or three and get a perfect recipe. I've been doing that for years now and I'm---""Stop, stop, stop. That's enough.""Oh. Did I um---do something wrong?""No, you didn't. Just uh...meet my assistant over there," I pointed to where Mariano was seated interviewing other applicants for other various positions. "...and finalized your application with him. You got the job.""Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you ma'am. I'm so grateful. Thank you so

~Mirabelle~"I don't know but it feels like I know you from somewhere, I just can't seem to put a finger on where I've seen you before. Perhaps, in another life?""Wouldn't it be great then if it was another life? Probably another world?"I smiled. "Very funny. Come with me." I took his hand as I led him upstairs."Oh so now you're planning on locking me up in here? So I don't leave for Spain? Is that it?"I smirked. "Shut up." As soon as got to the couple's spot, I opened the door and led him in."Wow. This is so....""Beautiful, I know. It's strictly for couple's only and as you know, they're VIPs so...""Is that why you brought me here? Because we're a couple now?""Oh shut up. I brought you here so you'd be the first person to actually see it. In here. You can eat your food. Just sit while I look for a place to go warm it up. I'll be right back in a few minutes." With that I scurried away to the kitchen.Few minutes later, after warming up his meal, I served it on a plate, added t

~Mirabelle~"Welcome to Mira's kitchen! Free food for everyone!'' I announced and cheers filled the air."Congratulations, baby. I'm so proud of you." Aunt Kaitlyn said with a smile and hugged me."Thanks Aunt." Just then I sighted Gabriel coming in with dad. "Hey!"I scooted low and welcomed him in my arms. "Mira! I'm so happy to see you!""Me too. You're growing bigger huh?"He blushed. "Of course. Dad here is quite big so...''"You wanna be so big and tall like my dad? You wanna be like him?!" I asked playfully ruffling his hair."I think I'll pass. I'd rather be me instead."Dad and I laughed."So when are you coming back home?''"Huh..." I looked at dad, unsure of what I wanted to say. "Soon. That's all I can say for now. But you can come visit me if you want."His eyes widened."Really?""Yeah. You can even come spend the night at my place sometimes.""Wow! That's cool! Can I bring all my Spiderman toys too? And Superman? Can I bring him along too?""Sure, bring anyone you want!"

~Mirabelle~Forty minutes later, I was clapping to the drum of music playing. He didn't tell what actually this was... but it seemed like a festival. An open Indian festival on an amusement park to be precise since it was Indian music blasting in the air with bodies swinging here and there. Just then Mariano appeared in sight with two cups of coffee."I can see you're enjoying yourself!" He had to shout because the volume of the music in the air was quite stentorian.I collected a cup from him. "Yeah, I am! It's just... it's just so beautiful being here. Why didn't you tell me about this before?!""You were busy talking. Or questioning, rather."I eyed him and took a sip of the coffee. It was hot and at the same time soothing."Wanna dance?""What?!""Would you like to dance?!"I pulled my ear. "Sorry, I can't hear you!''"I know very well, you can. Would you like to dance?"I laughed. He was right. I could still hear him despite the noise. "I can assure you that I'm not a very good d

~Mirabelle~I was sprawled on the lounger, lying on my chest with my sunglasses on when Kaitlyn joined me on the next lounger."Hey.""Hey.""You didn't join the others for a swim why?""Not feeling like it.""You're not feeling too well?"I took off my sunglasses. "I think. Plus I'm not feeling like it. So how was it? Caught some waves?""Nah, I think I'll try again later. Just look how happy your mom is with your dad." I lifted my head to stare and I was fascinated by the smile on mom's face when dad lifted her up from the water and threw her over his shoulder."Yeah.. she's beautiful. She's always been beautiful.""Not like when she's with your dad.""Yeah, like you and Wesley too. Liam and Rita as well, just take a look at them," She turned to look at Liam who was unknowingly teasing his fiance under water. "It happens to everyone who's in love.""Yeah and I'm sure it'll happen to you too. Very soon." I snorted and laid my head back on the lounger. I didn't want to think about a
