Well hello there! I am once again establishing the fact that I am indeed alive and well. As you know, I'm a teacher and I have very limited free time. But I sincerely appreciate your patience! I haven't forgotten my story and I am still determined to finish! I am currently on Spring Break and I am totally into getting this story back up and running. :) Here's the first new chapter in.....[checking calendar] wow. Three months. Whoops. I hope you enjoy the next couple of chapters, I promised in the last one (that was super dialouge heavy and not a lot happened) that we would really push things along here. So enjoy! "Awwwwww.....Welcome to the world baby Brice!" "He's beautiful guys. I can't believe you're parents!" "Yeah, we do make one good looking kid. Although, I'm thinking we were a little presumptive on the gender thing. We should probably redecorate." "Okie Dokie, now that all the cooing over my adorable kid is done, let's get down to business. We're sending you out. Show me your best 'Hit me up' outfit." "Leah, you can't be serious, you litteraly just had a baby like two days ago. I thought we were past this. You don't honestly intend to go clubbing do you?" "Oh Mira please- let's not get bogged down on 'who went into labor in the Uber' You're going out. I'm not not going to a sleazy club- I'm someones MOTHER." "........." .......... "Yeah- think about that." "You're not going to let this go. Are you?" "Now you're getting it! " "Do I want to know what you have planned?" Probably not. "Okay, how's this?" "Weeeeeeelllllll.....it's.....cute. But it's more 'cool aunt at the barbeque' not 'come dance up on this'." "And I suppose you can do better." "Watch me." DAMN. She's good. "There. Now THAT says 'hit me up'." "Credit where credit is due Leah, I do look amazing." Okay then Cinderella, time to hit the ball. "Ugh. I hate this. I'm more of a smooth jazz kinda girl." Yeah, but this is supposed to be the music your generation. "......If you say so. I need a drink. Like NOW." "'Sup beautiful. Can I get you a drink?" "Ummm, thanks. I'm good." "Come on- why come here alone if you're not looking to have some fun?" You want me to MC Command mod this creep? "As kind as that offer is.....all I really want is......" I think you know exactly what you want Miranda. You just don't want to wait for it anymore. "I think....you may be onto something." So where are we headed then? "San Myshuno." "DARIAN. DARIAN OPEN THE DOOR. I KNOW YOU'RE HOME." "Whoa, whoa, whoa- Miranda?! What the hell? It's like 2am." "Yeah. You you like you were really in a dead sleep." "I....uhhhh....I thought we agreed not to meet at my place?" “No Darian- YOU agreed. YOU agreed that we would only go to my place, never yours. YOU agreed that we would only meet when it was convenient for you. YOU agreed that you’d pick me up from work, never the other way around. YOU agreed that it was for the best that I not know even the simplest things about you. And I…I just went with it. Because I trust you….because I……” “Mira- slow down. I’ve had a long night and I was really not expecting this…” “Oh SHUT UP. I wasn’t expecting a lot of things when I met you- so you can put up with some from me for once.” You tell him. “For the past few months, all I ‘ve done is wait for you. Wait for you to have time for me. Wait to see you, wait to be with you. And for someone like me- I’m not used to waiting for other people. When I want something I go after it. And I’m tired of waiting.” “What are you saying?” “I’m saying that I love you you dolt.” “Mira…..I……” “And if you love me. I want you to make that choice now. No more secrets. No more agreements. Either you love me- with all of yourself or we agree to walk away from each other once and for all. Because I am done with whatever this is in it’s current state.” “Mira….of course I love you. You’re basically the only good thing I ever felt like I did right- and even there I manage to screw it up constantly. You’re the only thing that keeps me going most of the time. And I wish- FUCK. I wish I could tell you everything- you have no idea how much it kills me that I can’t. But I know if I did- you’d never forgive me.” “So you do love me?” “More than anything.” “Then. Make. Your choice.” “You.” "You." "You." “Good morning beautiful.” “Good morning.” “Sleep well?” “Not much, but I can’t think of many other ways I’d rather spend my time.” "It's 10am, hungry?” “Starving.” “Well, I’ll whip something up for you.” “And for yourself?” “I think I’m satiated enough as it is.” “Perv.” "10am? Damn. I need to check on work. I can always use a sick day. I don't think he'll mind if I use his computer." I don't know- I've seen a lot of Maury episodes that started with that exact statement. "Thats....that's impossible." What? Don't leave me in suspense. "It's...it's my research. All of it. Data files, patient lists, lab reports. Where did he get these? Why does he have them?" I don't know, but I get the feeling I won't like the answer. "I....don't what to say." "Hey gorgeous, pancakes are.....Mira? What are doing with that?" "I....was going to check on work. But it looks like you've already done that for me." “Mira….it’s not what it looks like….” “Oh. That’s comforting. Because it looks like you hacked into my work hardrive and stole my research files.” “Is this what you ‘work’ is? Stealing my research? Is that what you do? You’re mysterious boss? You’re insane hours- is any of it real? Do you work for a rival lab or something.” “Yes. That’s the truth.” “It was a lie. All of it. It was all a LIE. And I….I was so STUPID. I told you I loved you…and you…lied. About ALL OF IT.” “Mira- no. I didn’t lie about that- Ilove you, I swear it.” “You swear it?! HA! Like that means anything coming from you." “Mira- Please, just let me explain……” “NO! I am DONE listening to you explain. DONE. Just do me a favor and stay the hell away from me." Sooooo.....are we gonna talk about what happened? "Nope." Not even a little? "Nope." So we're just gonna ignore the fact that the love of your life ripped your heart out and stole your research. That you're father died litteraly the next day or that you've done nothing but sleep and work non-stop for the last 5 weeks?" "Good. You're getting it. At last." "I have plenty of other things to do. I need to wrap up the project before the 19th." But, aren't you afraid it'll just get stolen again? *sigh* "If you must know, I installed a new security system across the whole lab network. I also hacked Dariens IP address and scrubbed his hardware." Huh. Well you're thorough. I give you that. Just...when you're ready. You can talk to me. That's what I'm here for. "Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." "Matty- for the last time- I'm FINE. Please stop asking." “Mira, I can’t keep watching you like this. I need my sister back.” "It's just...after Dad....I just hate the thought of you in that house all alone." Goodnight sweet prince- parting is such sweet sorrow. You will be missed dear friend. “It’s not so bad. I have Noodle. And besides- with the baby, and the uncles, and Leah, I think you have enough on your plate." "I always have time for you Mira. That's what twins do. Besides, the uncles both went off on something called an 'Everest challenge'. I haven't seen them since." "Weird." "Look- I know what that asshole did to you was low- for the record my offer to kick his ass is still on the table." "As if you could hurt a fly." "Well no, but I could Leah to do it." “I just feel so aimless. You know when we were kids- I knew exactly who and was and what I wanted. And it was like after that day I saw her…I just—lost myself a little. It was like that one conversation was enough to shake me so much that I just slowly started second guessing everything and I always seem to make the wrong choice…. it's so….not like me. Then between Darien and dad dying….I feel like I din’t even recognize myself anymore.” “I know who you are- you’re my sister. My twin. My better half – and don’t tell Leah I said that. You’re ambitious, accomplished, confident and smart. When you want something you go for it and no amount of hits thrown at you have ever or will even hold you down for long. You’re Miranda Renee Viridi and you are FUCKING AMAZING.” “Did the good-boy Matthias Viridi just drop and F-bomb? I thought Leah was the spicy one in that relationship.” “Well- I would only say if I meant it.” “Thanks Matty. That means a lot.” “What do you want Mira? You’re my twin. And I’ll do whatever I can to make you happy again. “ “I think I have an idea.” “AWESOME! Spill.” “How do you feel about a vacation?” “Vacation? Yeah! That sounds AMAZING. But I’d need to arrange a sitter, Leah will kill me if I leave her alone with the baby and go on vacation. Where were you thinking?” "Selvadorada." Wooo! There it is! I'm have all the screenshots done and uploaded for the next two chapters. It's a two parter. I highly reccommend (if you haven't already) that you go and read the side story ("My Name is Maritza" check the story tab. The next part still makes sense without it, but I think it adds a lot to have that backstory.
As always, thank you for waiting! I'll get those next two up either today or tomorrow. :)
