Enchanted feelings

Reserve

Isabela managed to get home at a reasonable time

She had showed Elena some interesting sights and they were planning on heading to the river

but Ricky had caught up with them looking sweaty and a bit tired "Elena I've been looking for you" He took a breath "Mom and dad sent me to find you, they need help with the fruit stand"

"Why? Are they going out?"

"Yeah, just for an hour. They need to check out some things with the deliveries and apparently they don't trust me alone with the sales, can you believe them?!" Ricky genuinely looked offended

"I mean last time they let you in charge
you almost gave the stand away to a girl...Quite responsible if you ask me" She said sarcastically with a teasing grin

"She was pretty!" Ricky put his hands up with a coy smile

"And?"

"Oh please like you wouldn't do the same" He chuckled

Elena raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth but then she glanced at Isabela and her face turned a little pale

It was evident that she was nervous about something

she quickly shook her head and looked at her brother

"I have one more thing to do but it will only take a few minutes, when I'm done I'll meet you here"

"Or you could stay and I can take care of the shop, come on I'll tell our parents that you were there with me" He smiled playfully

"Nope" Elena smiled "There's a lot of pretty girls here too how do I know that you won't try to impress them by giving them a whole fruit stand!"

"Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes they deserve a second chance right?" He said with a face that looked everything but serious

"Yeah but it wasn't only that, if I recall correctly you also almost burned it d-"

Ricky laughed "Okay okay! One day sis I'll prove that I'm responsible"

"Yeah you will" Elena chuckled "Let's go Isabela"

And here she was in the hallway with popsicles on both hands struggling to keep a hold of them

How she had ended with so many popsicles was both sweet and funny

Before they had made it to the shop Elena had asked about her most liked treats and since it was a warm morning frozen snacks came up "What's your favorite flavor?"

"Um it's hard to decide what's my favorite between strawberry and mango but I also like soursop and watermelon...And pomegranate and lemon"

"Okay" Elena had giggled and said nothing more

And when they got to the shop Elena bought all of the ones Isabela had mentioned.

And now Isabela thought about it with a smile as she knocked on Mirabel's room

Who of course instantly opened up "Isa! Hello" She glanced at her hands and frowned
"Um why do you have that many popsicles?"

"Someone gave them to me...Do you want one?"

"First of all yes and who gave them to you?" She wiggled her eyebrows which reminded her of Camilo

"A friend. Here" Isabela handed her one and turned away

"Wait"

"I'm going to go find our sister and cousins, see if they want one, before they melt"

"Oh okay"

Isabela looked at Mirabel's sad smile
"Do you want to come with me?"

She nodded contented "Sure!"

Isabela grinned and they hurried to look for Camilo and Antonio in the play room

After that they found Luisa with Dolores watching a novela in the living room

"What? That's her evil twin you dumb man!" Dolores spit out the drink she was having

While Luisa chewed on her nails

"Um..." Isabela stared at them questionably

"Oh hey there" Dolores lowered the volume on the television

"Hi, I wanted to bring you two this, a friend gave them to me but I can't finish them all"

"Aw thank you" Luisa adoringly smiled

"Yeah thank you Isa" Dolores motioned for her and Mirabel to sit next to them "How was your morning?"

"It was nice, what did you guys do...Apart from watching dramatic novelas?" Isabela chuckled

"They are not dramatic! Those actually seem like real life stories that we can all relate to"

"Really Lola?" She held in a laugh

"Specially the romantic ones"

Isabela rolled her eyes "In which the nice man always gets the girl?"

"Confiesa Isa you secretly like love stories" Dolores grinned

"Do I now?" She laughed

Mirabel looked at Luisa who was slowly eating her popsicle and gave her a small nod

"What about all of your books?" Dolores giggled

"My books are about plants" Isabela explained

"Oh really?" She pointed at Luisa "What about that one?"

Isabela looked confused until her sister held out a book from beneath the cushion

Her eyes widened and her hands started to shake "Where did you get that?"

"The other day you said I could take-" Luisa began but Isabela was already talking again

"You..How much have you read?"

Mirabel glanced at her

"Not much I just started but it's great so far"

Isabela let out a small sigh "Can I...
Can I have it back?" She anxiously played with her hair

"Oh yeah of course" Luisa knitted her eyebrows together

"I forgot where I left it at and never got to finish it" She smiled forcefully

"When you're done can I borrow it again? I'm kind of hooked on it" Luisa looked at her with a hopeful grin

"...Yeah" She grabbed the book and held it tightly

"Look prima I'm sure the handsome boy and the gorgeous girl of your story will end up together. That's how all love stories are" 

"All love stories?" Isabela mumbled to herself with a sorrowful look in her eyes.
