Poems just for you

Chapter 1 – insufferable

It has been two years since Miguel had met a beautiful girl who had run away from home from her horrible family who tortured her and took advantage of her heart. Since then the two had become very close and his family absolutely adored her and made her part of their family and he couldn't be happier.

Truth be told he wanted to tell Mira how much he loved her, but it was harder then he had thought and he would somehow always stumble at the mouth no matter how hard he tried, this time he was determined to try without making one single fumble at the mouth.

"Miguel?" Socorro asked

"Si, Chiquita What is it". He answers

"Are you Okay you seem tense". She looked worried for her brother

"What me tense? No". He rambled

Just then Abel came in and sighed softly offering some of his delicious homemade brownies that had just come out from the oven.

"Primo take these". He offered the plate

"Desert is not really helping here". He sighed

"Just take them, it helps trust me geez you seem like Rosa after a math exam". Abel stated walking away

Rosa smiled and sighed at how ridiculous her Primo was being and how stressed he was, she couldn't but stifle a chuckle. Miguel turned his head towards her and coaxed curios to see what he was laughing about.

"What?" He asked

Rosa shook her head and still laughed.

"Nothing it's just you worry to much about her ". She chuckled

Miguel turned his head away and turned crimson red as she laughed.

"I don't What you're talking about ". Miguel sighed

Enrique on the other hand was curious to see how this was gonna play out as did Elena and Luisa. So as they continued working they listened in.

"Come on I see the way you look at her it's like she's an angel leaving the room and you follow her like a lost puppy ". She pointed out

At this point Luisa had a soft but sweet smile on her face at the sound of the conversation, Enrique couldn't help but chuckle, soon the whole family got into this little game to try and figure out just who had captured Miguel's heart.

"Oh our Miguel in love how sweet so are you gonna tell us who it is". Luisa said

"No, why would I?" Miguel replied

"Mijo the more you hide from your feelings the more it's gonna get to you and the further she's out of your reach". Franco smiled

"It's not as easy as you think she's never going to think of me that way". Miguel sighed

"Well how do you know unless you try?" Berto joined

"Mijo, sometimes taking risks is also a good thing you never know. The best part is you put all your heat and soul into it". Elena sighed as she sewed

Franco nodded agreeing with his wife as did everyone else.

"Try and if it doesn't work out, that's okay it may hurt for a while but in the end it's going to be okay". Carmen finished

"And if does?" He asked

"Well, you'll be happy knowing whoever the ' mystery girl ' is loves you with all her heart who knows maybe it's someone you've got to love even more". Elena joins

"No seriously who is this girl, she better not have fallen for your tricks". Abel sighed

"As we know how those can be". Socorro smiled

"Yeah I feel sorry for her". Manny and Benny sighed

"Oh come on would you lay off". Miguel asked sighing

"We're just saying you've got to find the courage ". Berto said

"Got it Gracias famila ". He thanked as he went to his room

Miguel laid on his bed thinking about how he was going to tell Mirabel that he loved her and he wanted something more, At the same time though what if she said no?

What if things went south and he ruined their friendship forever?

Maybe his family was right, maybe he just needed to look past the negative and into something brighter.

'God I'm a mess'. He thought

He decided it was best to close his eyes and to take a nap he needed comfort and closure. Right now the only way to do that was to set his heart on Mirabel that was tomorrow's problem for now he would deal with it later.

~~The next day~~

When he came from work all his mind was plagued on were thoughts of Mira he couldn't stop no matter how hard he tried, he wanted to bang his head against the wall to try to and stop it but it was a little too far fetched.

He thought about the times she had come over for family dinner and how she made him smile and how his family adored her. Both dead and living loved Mirabel a lot and that wasn't even the best part, Socorro and her seemed to adore each other (sometimes ganging on Miguel and the family) how much she'd help the family with anything. Elena with cooking, Rosa with finding books and sharing their love for the greatest adventures you could only find in such places. She loved to sing with the Mariachi and with him or play soccer with the twins or help Abel with shoe orders when it was a full day and they needed extra help.

Mirabel had even managed to get on Mamá Imelda's Good side and even Miguel was shocked by this as she was not an easy woman to please, Mira had seemed to know exactly what she was doing when it came to his family. Not only that but her grandparents Pablo, Daphne and Pedro seemed to be grateful every day to have a granddaughter like her just as much as he did a best friend.

What she done to his heart?

Her infectious energy that beautiful smile and radiance brought something into his life that he didn't even know he had, somehow after two years she'd managed to bring it out in him. Even his colleagues were interested in her. Every day when she come by the conservatory she had all the boys hearts and some girls to for that matter, Miguel wouldn't like to admit it but he was jealous every time she looked their way.

He remembered that earlier conversation he had with Luis and let's just say it wasn't an easy conversation to hear.

"So I was thinking about asking Mira out do you think she'll say yes?" Luis asked

Miguel bit his tongue as if not to shout and kept it to himself. Luis was still waiting on that answer and was staring to get very impatient.

"Well?" He asked

"I don't know you can try but she is very proud of where she stands ". He shrugged

"Oh please how hard could it be, she's just another girl all I need to do is sweep off her feet and I'll have in no time you'll see". He shook off

Miguel knew that knowing Mirabel she wasn't as naïve as pepole thought she was and that she would turn a boys head and break his heart if she wanted to. It was too good to be true and he couldn't wait to see the results, he couldn't bring his heart to tell his friend but yet what's the fun in just telling him when he can experience it for himself.

Miguel remembers the day after like it was yesterday his friend had come back with a broken nose and a black eye because he didn't get his way.

"What happened to you ". Miguel smiled

"Your lady friend is what happened , I Was going in for her kiss and then she backed away. I tried Again But this time she punched me". He exclaimed

"And broke your nose?" He finished

Luis looked down ashamed at what he'd done, Miguel on the hand was secretly happy about it he knew Mirabel had a good Right hook, he should've known better than to mess with her especially when being threatened.

What can say she's tough". Miguel shrugged

"Yeah no kidding ". He pouted

Miguel Remembers The next day telling it to the family and they all burst out laughing.

"That's what he gets when he doesn't take no for an answer ". Rosa chuckled

"Goodness knows I'm not dealing with him again and he is not coming back ". Mirabel replies smiling

The dead side laughed just as hard that day as well.

"That's our girl". Pedro cheered

"Forget the boot that was amazing ". Julio said

"You are definitely a Rivera love, by heart and by strength ". Imelda smirked as she whispered to her

Miguel smiled at the memory and laughed softly to himself. He just didn't know how to tell her that he loved her and how much he loved her begged the question of why he was afraid to say or do anything so it wouldn't sound stupid.

Well now he just had to find a way and not make the mistake or perhaps he was waiting for the rejection who knows all he has to do was to just try right?
