To be loved Chapter 8- I Really can't with you
The land of the dead was working like clockwork and as beautiful as was it was still very busy, the Rivera hacienda was no different as Mirabel worked with Imelda to finish this dress finally before leaving tonight to deliver it for a client in Mexico City.
"There it's done". Mirabel wiped her forehead
"I'd say you outdid yourself, Amor". Imelda smiled
"Thank you for everything ". Mirabel replies
"Anytime Mija, let me look". Imelda checked
Mirabel held up the beautiful dress, It had a beautiful short train and a sweetheart neckline with short sleeves in this beautiful red colour like a deep fire oak red.
" Lina is going to love this". Mirabel was proud of herself
Oscar and Felipe smiled at the fact Mira worked so hard and did her best to finish the dress.
"It's beautiful Mija ". Oscar smiled
"Gracias ". She smiled
Just then the phone rang and it was Lina, probably asking about the dress so she picked it up she smiled at the others and took the call in the other room.
"Hola?" Mirabel answers
"Lo siento Mira, I just called about my order". Lina apologises
"It's fine I'm gonna be on my way in just a minute ". She sighed
"Actually about that, I don't need it anymore I got a replacement for my part". Lina exclaimed
"What?! You said four days, you got four days ". Mirabel was heartbroken at the fact her hard work had gone down the drain
"Turns out I needed a different colour ". Lina sighed
Mirabel was furious with Lina and her excuses she decided she had enough.
"I quit". She said over the phone
"What! You can't do that I still need my deposit ". Lina yelled at her
"Well, unfortunately, I have other clients and repairs to get through and those who are true to their word get the deposit ". Mirabel explains
Mirabel went out into the kitchen to get some water while her ex-client was Still berating her over the phone.
Even Victoria heard it and she was very interested to see where this headed, Imelda looked very curious to see where this was going as was the rest of the family. Héctor knew his niña wasn't to be taken a fool and Miguel knew that too.
For a bit of fun, Mirabel decided to put her raging client on speakerphone so that her family could hear the types of things that she had been saying. Miguel was jaw dropped at the language she used.
Imelda wanted to give this Lina of hers a piece of her mind as did Coco and Victoria. But they knew their Mira had it.
"You absolute puta de madre, no one should hire you if they want to be let down!" She yelled
"You're right but I've got better things to do than listen to you insult me which you are more than happy to keep doing by the way". Mirabel said
"Why you-". Lina said
Héctor smiled having too much fun watching this game, Imelda as well as Miguel and Victoria seemed very intrigued to see how this ended.
Mirabel rolled her eyes and they tried to hold back a snicker of laughter as they watched.
"I'm not paying you a cent". Lina sighed
"That's fine by me ". She smirked
"Unlike you, I have a life, job and clients that keep their promises and don't string them along". She added
"You Cardeja". Lina swore
"Keep going like that your head might as well explode ". Mirabel joked
Miguel smiled and held back a laugh at that comment. Imelda laughed softly and smiled, Héctor found this hilarious as did Victoria.
Lina was speechless at her words.
"Now if you'll excuse me I have to go figure out what to do with my hard that you so stupidly threw away to get wasted away Ciao Bella". She finished the call with her accent lifted just a bit
Mirabel gladly hung up the phone and got rid of Lina's number she rolled her eyes at the ridiculousness.
"That was amazing Mija ". Coco smiled
"She knew what she was in for". Mirabel replies winking
"I'll say". Miguel smiled
Mirabel smiled at him and sighed. She then went over to the table to figure out what to do with the dress still in its box.
"Guess she won't be needing this anymore, the only problem is I don't know what to do with it ". She sighed it was a beautiful dress and she didn't want to throw it away.
"Here's a crazy thought, why don't you wear it". Miguel came up to wife and hugged her from behind
"He's right Mija it would look absolutely beautiful on you". Rosita smiled softly
" I don't know red is usually not my colour". She chuckled
"Come on, Besides your wedding dress you've never worn anything you created ". Miguel smiled
"Maybe". She shrugged
"Just try Mija you might like it". Héctor smiled
"I guess it wouldn't hurt ". She smiled
"That's more like it". Héctor smiled
So with that, she went to try the dress on, what was unexpected was how well it would work on her the colour blended really with her eyes. When she made it out of the room she was nervous but smiling softly .
"I'm not so sure". She called
"It can't be that bad Sonbrina ". Victoria chuckled
"She's right, come out Amor ". Miguel pleaded
So reluctantly she stepped out as she sighed and the family looked amazed at how well it worked on her. They all smiled at her and she blushed lightly embarrassed.
"It looks beautiful Carina ". Héctor sighed
"You really think so?" She asked
"Are you kidding it looks gorgeous ". Julio said
"Gracias ". She thanked
She spun around and actually found it quite comfortable to were since Lina and her were the she size she found it surprising. Miguel Meanwhile was speechless as his darling wife had never looked beautiful he smiled after closing his mouth from gasping.
Mirabel blushed at what her husband thought of the dress.
He shook his head and sighed looking up and down as she spun around watching the skirt flow with her as she twirled.
"Tu eres Muy Hermosa ". He whispered
She laughed and kissed him deeply and softly.
"Maybe when we get back home, you'd be willing to try something with that dress". He whispered chuckling smirking
"Really this?" She turned to him questioning
Miguel nodded.
"Ay, you idiot ". She sighed lightly nudging as he had his hands gently around her waist
"Especially with you in that dress". He smirked
She flushed and turned red sighing softly.
Well as the saying goes another person's trash is another person's treasure and this was no different…
