"Secret admirer ?" She asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah a secret admirer her dad replied, he left this at the front door " he passed her a box wrapped with a blue cellophane wrapper.
"Whoa! She exclaimed,I wonder what's inside ".
"Belle got a secret admirer, Miranda sang. I guess you're just gonna forget about Emy she laughed and Michael…"she said with detest.
"Michael…? Who is that?" Her mom asked with surprise.
"He's some guy who likes her but…I don't think he's geniune, I think he only likes her pretty face that's all" Miranda explained to her mom.
"How did..? How did you knew about that? "Her mom stammered.
"She told me " Miranda shrugged.
"She did..? Well…well..well I'm starting to get the feeling that you talk to Randy more than me and that's so sad.., I'm ya momma huh. Anyways it's better than not talking to no one" she gave a gentle smile.
"Well…I guess that's the last she would ever know again" Mirabel forced a smile.
"I'm sorry Bel" Miranda cried holding her hands.
"I can't forgive you, you know that and that's final we made a deal". She pushed off her sister's hands from hers gently but quickly.
"Mom , dad…please help me beg her to please forgive me " she cried.
"No Randy I wouldn't, you should learn how not to divulge people's secrets okay? You beg her yourself " Morries said and bite into an Apple.
"Stop eating the apples"Mabel slapped his hands.
"Why shouldn't I " he pouted.
"It's for breakfast, she pinched his thin lips. Mirabel should have at lest told us about Michael " she took some apples and started slicing them into a glass bowl.
"Mom…I'm not sure yet about Michael that's why I haven't told you guys, she said with a sorry look. It was to be my little secret but…until now this…little sis just…"
She haven't finished her statement when Miranda interrupted her.
"I'm so…sorry Mirabel ,you can call me little I deserve it, please forgive me " she hugged Mirabel so tightly it made them both unbalanced and they almost fell on the floor.
"Okay … ,I'll get to call you small for the whole holiday ,how about that huh?" Mirabel smiled wickedly.
"Okay big sis ,as far as I get your forgiveness " she smiled.
"If you ever divulge any of my secrets again ,I'll get to call you small forever is that okay by you?" She crossed her hands.
"Even when I have my own kids? " she asked with her hands akimbo.
"Yeah miss, you're already thinking about having kids , you're so funny " Mirabel bust into laughter along with her parents.
"Uhumm she nodded I wanna be just like momma, I think we have deal then" she shook hands with her sister.
Fifteen minutes later, food has been served. They were about to dig in when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who might that be ?, Mabel asked looking around, I thought everyone was supposed to be in their house by this now huh, the rain has started falling again. Mirabel go check who it is" she told Mirabel who was biting on a slice of apple. "I thought she said she wanted raisins instead" she laughed.
"Jeremy…? " Mirabel said with shock as she looked through the door hole which was there for security reasons.
"Jeremy…? Oh now I remember, I actually asked him to join us for breakfast , I'm sorry for not informing you all about it" Morries said with a pleading eye.
"Hey" she said asked when she opened the door.
"Hey Puppy, he smiled at her. Mr. Morries invited me for dinner…,sorry breakfast…" he pinched himself feeling embarrassed.
"Come on in" she laughed and opened the door wider for him to pass through.
"Morning Mrs Mabel" he bowed.
"Morning dearie , come join us " she smiled at him.
He smiled his thanks and sat down to business.
"How are you faring dearie?" Mabel asked with a concerned look.
"Hmm he sighed , I'm doing fine , thanks for your concern " he smiled happily at her.
"You're sure?" Mabel asked, this time with a body survey.
"Yes ma'am " he replied with a feel of guilt. "How come this family is so good to me? I've never felt loved with mine and it's so heart breaking ,they just keep offering love to me without any resentful feelings, I just hope I don't hurt their …" .
