Miguel could hardly believe his luck. Somehow, in the midst of his chaotic life, he had managed to find an amazing woman like Y/N. She was smart, kind, and incredibly patient with his crazy schedule.
It doesn't take long for him to reach the denial stage of attraction towards the nanny. He started distancing himself a bit from her, pretending that he's busy and disinterested in an attempt to hide his true, deep feelings.
At first, Y/n was not sure why he was like this. For a moment she thought he had some "no days". But sometimes she made eye contact with him, not on purpouse, noticing how his gaze slowly softened. They both knew it.
Oh hell yeah, they knew it.
Not just them both, though.One day, someone knocked at the door. Y/n, who was on the couch with Gabriella, stood up and went to see qho was it. When she opened the door, Conchata stood there, smiling <<Hello, dear.>>. Y/n was surprised but she always loved talking and having this woman around <<Conchata, welcome in.>> she opened more the door, making her walk inside and feel welcome. As Y/n closed the door, the older woman looked around <<Miguel?>> she asked. Y/n spoke <<He's at work. He should come anytime soon.>> and they walked to the kitchen. Y/n offered her a cup of tea and some sweets, as Gabriella came to greet her grandma. Thry chatted for a while, talking of how she and Gabriella spend the day. Y/n and Conchata were really confident with each other since the first day they met.
Finally, Miguel came back home and, finding his own mother at his house, it was a surprised.
<<Mamà, I didn't expect your visit today.>> he said. He didn't mind her company at all though <<What brings you here?>>
The woman shrugged, picking up her grandaughter up, who hugged her immediatelh <<I came to visit my favorite granddaughter, of course.>> she spoke smiling.
Conchata, a wise and perceptive woman, she always had a glimmer of mischief in her eyes when she knew something or she wanted anything to happen. And Miguel knew that. He could see it clearly.
In fact, the woman had observed the undeniable chemistry between Miguel and Y/n, the nanny, and believed they were destined to be together. However, instead of blatantly expressing her thoughts, since it could embarass both of them, she decided to subtly orchestrate an opportunity for them to spend quality time together, hoping that love would ignite.<<Miguel, mijo,>> Conchata spoke warmly as she chuckled, avoiding direct eye contact, knowing that Miguel knew something already <<I've come to spend some precious moments with my granddaughter, Gabriella. It have been a long time since we stayed alone for a whole evening. Right, ¿cariño?>> the older woman asked to her granddaughter. She nodded and smiled <<That's true! Will you stay with me for all the evening?>> the small and innocent child asked, happy to be with her grandma.
Conchata nodded <<Of course, we'll have so much time together just me and you.>> she remarked the "me" and the "you".
Miguel noticed that too and raised his eye brown, wanting to know what was going on in his mother's head <<¿Por qué solo ustedes dos?>>. Meanwhile Y/n was just confused by the spanish words.
Conchata looked at them with an innocent expression <<I thought you both could take a break and enjoy an evening out together?>>.
Y/n and Miguel immediately stopped and glanced to each other. They were hesitant for a second. They actually never have been alone together. It was always Gabriella around, and Conchata sometimes too.
Y/N looked at Miguel, a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes, as Conchata spoke <<You could eat out to that new restaurant that opened in the center of the city. It's called La Belle Epoque if I am right. I've hear it's delicious.>> she said, still with a innocent tone.
Y/n smiled, her eyes lighting up <<Actually, I was thinking to try it sometimes.>> she spoke, taking Miguel's attention on her again. <<I'd be happy to go there with you.>>.
Miguel was surprised by her statement. She never thought she would ever say something like that to him. But he was more than happy to spend time alone with her <<Yes, same for me.>> he spoke. The only thing that worried him was his mother's behavior. She was too weird to suggest this. What was going on?
Conchata watched the exchange with a contented smile, her plan falling perfectly into place. <<Well, it's settled then,>> she declared happily <<You two should go and enjoy yourselves. Gabriella will be in good hands.>>.
<<Yay! I can't wait to spend time with you abuela!>> the girl smiled, starting to think all the new games they could do together.
And with that, Y/n asked a few minutes to get herself ready, and she walked to her bedroom. Meanwhile Miguel looked at his own mother <<What are you planning, ¿mamà?>> he asked. The woman smiled innocently and tried to avoid his eye contact, to do not let her plan get discovered.
<<Nothing at all, mijo.>> she lied, as he put Gabriella down and said <<I suggest you to get ready, before the reasturant get's full.>>.
Miguel gave her a last side eye look, before he walked to his bedroom to get ready as well.
Conchata smiled satisfied. Her secret plan had succeeded, and she knew that his son and Y/n were on their way to discovering new feelings. Sometimes, the best way to bring two people together is to create the perfect opportunity and let love take its course, that's what she thought.
Plus, her plan was also to have more than one granddaughter. If it could happen.
