Nighttime

*We see Mirabel getting ready while Dolores is reading a book. She glanced up from her book to see Mirabel looking at herself in the mirror. Dolores is starting to understand why Mirabel was so frustrated with her when they went to buy swimwear. Since mirabel started dressing at 6 o'clock and it was currently 9 o'clock, it was soon to be 10 o'clock. Mirabek turned around and smiled at Dolores. *

Mirabel: ok. How do I look?

Dolores: You look fine.

*Dolores said dismissively, Mirabel scoffed and made a 180° turn and went back to their room to change once again. She wasn't gonna accept "just fine," she needs people to say "wow" when they look at her up at that stage. Was this mirabel's attention starved theater kid coming out to play? Yes. Yes, it was. And she needed to look stunning. So much to Dolores's horror, she saw mirabel taking her high heels off and unzipping her dress, just before she closed the door to the bathroom. She could hear Mirabel speaking at the other side of the door.*

Mirabel: Fine? I need gorgeous, I'm changing.

Dolores: No, wait, I meant gorgeous! God damn it, why didn't I say gorgeous?! Why? Why?! WHY....

*Dolores whined as she hit her head over and over again with her book, while Mirabel was I'm the bathroom. Dolores was in hell. And it was a hell of her own making, since this was karma bitting her in the ass, from the last time they were in san jose. Benjamin, who was finishing cleaning up the place, found all of this amusing as he walked up to Dolores. Deciding to throw the poor girl a bone, as the saying goes.*

Benjamin: ma'am, in my last moments as your butler, may I say something?

Dolores: I guess?

*Dolores said with a sigh. She stopped hitting herself and just rubbed her forehead. She was feeling a headache start to grow, from the repeated hit to the head, and yes. She was blaming mirabel for that. Petty? Sure. But their whole relationship revolved around being petty. She looked at Benjamin, who kept his neutral expression as he spoke, with a tone that showed he had years of experience.*

Benjamin: Even if she's your cousin, she's still a woman. And you need to learn how to speak to a woman.

Dolores: You do realize that I'm also a woman, right?

*Dolores said with a raised eyebrow. She doesn't feel like being explained by a guy, something she already knows how to do. Benjamin, for his part, shrugged and gave a goodbye bow to Dolores. Since if someone doesn't want to listen, one shouldn't force them to. Benjamin was more than willing to let Dolores suffer in this hell since he knows mirabel has another 2 hours' worth of clothes in that large bathroom.*

Benjamin: My apologies. I suppose that you don't need my help then?

Dolores: Now, now, I didn't say that. What do I need to know

*Dolores backpedaled quickly, and since she didn't actually have a way to get Mirabel to head out already, she'll take what she can get. Since she just wanted a quiet night reading, maybe taking a tip on the jacuzzi while also reading. And mirabel was ruining those plans by taking so damn long. Dolores wouldn't be surprised if mirabel was doing this on purpose, just to fuck with her. Benjamin nodded and stood up straight*

Benjamin: Oh. Just the basics, does this dress make me look fat? No. Do you like my hair this way? Yes. Is my tush wider than usual? There is no good answer to that one

Dolores: ok. And what should I say, in this situation

*Dolores asked and watched as Benjamin walked the bathroom. He stopped close to the door, so Mirabel would hear what he said next. He took a small cough and spoke up. Showing Dolores what decades of experience from being married 3 times has taught the old distinguished Gentleman.*

Benjamin: Again, ma'am, you've got to know how to speak with a woman. Mirabel! You'll miss the buffet!

Mirabel: ready!

*Mirabel said magically in a whole new dress that honestly looked better than the last one. But dolores wasn't going to say that and potentially make Mirabel change again. Unlikely, but dolores wasn't gonna take that chance. She loves Mirabel.... she cares for mirabel. She cares for her deeply. But she could do with some alone time to enjoy a book. Dolores snorted, not believing that actually worked. Mirabel gave herself one more look in the mirror and gave herself a nod*

Mirabel: ok, I'm ready. How do I look?

Dolores: gorgeous, I love what you did to your hair. You look so skinny in that outfit, and now remember. Don't stay up too late. Or I'll be worried sick for you all night

* Dolores said quickly before Mirabel could ask it. She did smile since mirabel looked happy for the compliment. Dolores hates herself a little because she can't believe that actually worked. But then again, who is she to look a gift horse in the mouth? If it gets mirabel out of the place, Dolores was more than willing to swallow her pride in this particular situation. Mirabel, for her part, waved her hand dismissively*

Mirabel: Yeah, yeah, I promise. Benjamin? Shall I see you of?

Benjamin: Thank you, my lady. And let me just say, it was a privilege and a pleasure to serve you both

*Benjamin said as he walked away to the elevator, and once it opened, he walked in and went down. Once alone, Mirabel looked at Dolores with a grin. Getting closer to her, uncomfortably close. For Dolores's comfort, a small blush appeared on Dolores's face. Since she was once again the bottom of this relationship. Since, while yes, in the club, she did show some dominance. Dolores actually prefers being the submissive one. Mirabel, who saw the blush on Dolores's grin, couldn't help but snicker at it.*

Mirabel: Are you sure you don't wanna come? I said I was sorry

Dolores: And I forgave you. But no. The trick is still too fresh in my mind. Maybe after a couple of months, I'll go with you to the club again

*Dolores said with a sigh, she really didn't appreciate that the bartender just went along with mirbel's ridiculous plan. Also the fact that she can hear Mirabel sing every day, since every day she has a soft song on her lips, while she does the most basic of things. So she's really not missing anything. Mirabel shrugged and pressed the elevator door*

Mirabel: ok, well, have fun with your books

Dolores: And you with your singing. Again, don't stay up too late. You know I can no longer sleep without you.

*Dolores said with a frown and a soft blush on her cheeks. If you told her months ago that she would need the neglected cousin she never talks to, to sleep normally again. She would call you crazy, but now? She can sleep without Mirabel, sure, but it's a restless sleep. Mirabel waved her hand dismissively at what Dolores just said: "

Mirabel: I said I wouldn't, geeze. Have a little faith in me

Dolores: I do have faith in you. I have faith that you'll let the spotlight get the better of you.

*Dolores countered, Mirabel tried not to smile, that smile you get when someone catches you in a lie. For Mirabel and, to a lesser extent, Mariano, were both addicted to the stage, to have the lights on them. To have a crowd cheer for their names. Mirabel was taken out of that thought when the elevator door said "ding," and the doors opened*

Mirabel: mean. It won't. Just a song or 3, and then I'll return back here.

The next day

Morning

With Bruno

*He took a deep breath and stretched. After a decade of sleeping on a couch, to finally sleep on a bed was a real challenge to get used to once again, but he did. It also helped that he wasn't sleeping in the bed alone. He opened his eyes to see his secret boyfriend Alves, sleeping next to him.*

Bruno: he looks so cute when he's sleeping

Alves: Thanks. I'm glad to know you think I'm cute

*Alves said with a smirk, feeling and hearing Bruno scramble nervously before falling on the bed. Alves took a breath and sat up straight, running his fingers through his long hair, putting it at the back of his head and finally looking down at Bruno, who was rubbing his head in pain from the fall*

Alves: Are you ok?

Bruno: Apart from my pride? Yeah. Sorry. I didn't know you were awake

*Bruno said with a nervous chuckle, Alves just smiled with a hum as he got up and gave Bruno his hand. Bruno looked at Alves, smiling face. He grabbed Alves' hand, and Alves helped him up*

Alves: I wasn't, I'm just a very light sleeper. Comes with being a child of an orphanage.

Bruno: Right. Uh, so. I had fun last night

*Bruno said with a blush, rubbing the back of his neck. Alves hummed and got closer to him. Bruno flinched, and his blush got worse when Alves kissed his cheek*

Alves: as did I. I enjoyed your skills immensely. You've got real talent

Bruno: Thanks. Maybe next time, you can join instead of just watching me?

*Bruno asked, and he trembled when Alves spoke in a husky whisper on Bruno's ear, Alves hot breath made bumps appear on Bruno's body*

Alves: maybe. But I've never had any interest in such activities, though I do enjoy watching you. I love seeing you get out of breath when you're done

Bruno: t..thanks. then I'll make sure I'll be better next time.

*Bruno stuttered, feeling his heart beat faster and faster. It didn't help that Alves chuckle, was so deep in the morning that made him sound more rugged*

Alves: Oh, you were more than satisfying last night

Bruno: Still though, sorry, I got so nervous. I haven't... done that with anybody in a decade... more than a decade, actually, I usually only did it myself

*Bruno scrambles, feeling goosebumps on his body, when Alves gave him a small bite on his earlobe. Bruno pushed him away, feeling overwhelmed, his face completely flushed, which alves found amusing. Bruno covered his face with his hands in embarrassment*

Alves: Well, you don't have to worry about that now. Now you'll have somebody who loves watching you go to town, on yourself

Bruno: Yeah?

*Bruno asked, opening his fingers so his eyes were showing. He saw Alves with his head a bit on the side, with that same calm smile he always has on, which makes it hard for Bruno to know what Alves is thinking*

Alves: Absolutely.

Bruno: Well then. my next telenovela will be better, I'll bring my rats next time

*Bruno said since, of course, they were talking about Bruno's telenovelas. If you thought it was anything else, then shame on you. Alves hummed with a nod*

Alves: That sounds lovely, now. Do you want to have some breakfast or will you go back home?

Bruno: I. Um.... Is your mother gonna be there?

*Bruno said with a tremble, he wasn't scared of Alves mother. No, of course not. She was just....a lot to handle, it's a miracle Alves didn't turn out like her. Alve gave a short nod as he walked out of his room*

Alves: Of course she will. But calm yourself, she agreed to dial it that with her questions

Bruno: w...well.. I'm not gonna say no to your pancakes.

*Bruno said with a soft chuckle, as he followed behind alves, to the main room, and of course, Bruno flinched again since Mrs. Alves was awake early. Erin looked at Bruno and Alves, smiling brightly if not a little smugly, at the two 50 year old children*

Erin: Ah! Good morning, you two.

Meanwhile, in San Jose

*Mirabel had her eyes closed, she was tired, her throat was killing her, her legs were shaking, and she loved it. She opened her eyes when she heard the "ding" of the elevator door opening. She walked inside and saw Dolores there waiting for her. Dolores looked at her, with a raised eyebrow, arm crossed, legs crossed and her foot shaking*

Dolores: I thought we agreed, that you wouldn't be gone all fucking night

Mirabel: sorry, they wanted, lots of encores

*Mirabel tried to say, but she ended up coughing and wincing in pain. Her voice sounded hoarsed. Dolores sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. The family really did make mirabel starved for attention, Dolores guesses she should be thankful that mirabel only sings to get attention, and not anything worse, like causing trouble. got up and walked up to Mirabel. She placed a hand on mirabel's back and sighed, shaking her head with a bemused smile.*

Dolores:Come on, let's get you to bed. I'll bring you some warm milk with lots of honey

Mirabel: Thanks. Love you.

*A tired Mirabel said, giving Dolores a kiss on the cheek as they walked to the bed. Dolores hummed and returned the gesture, kissing mirabel back. She placed Mirabel to bed and walked to the kitchen to get her a cup of warm milk with honey for that throat of hers. Once she knew Mirabel wouldn't be able to hear her, did she speak again. Saying something she's not ready to say to mirabel just yet.*

Dolores: I.... I love you too, but God, are you a pain in my ass

*Dolores said with a sigh that turned into a chuckle, as she warmed the milk with honey up, put it on a cup, and walked back their sleeping quarters. She sat down on the bed and gave the cup to Mirabel, who took it with a smile and drank it*

Dolores: Be careful. Don't burn yourself

Mirabel: I'm. Fine. Thank you.

*Mirabel said, her voice still horsed, but the milk with honey did help relieve some of the pain. Mirabel finished her cup and nodded to Dolores. Dolores nodded back and laid down on the bed. Mirabel put the cup on the nightstand and cuddled with Dolores, putting her head on Dolores's chest and just enjoying being the little spoon. Both closed their eyes and were quickly knocked out unconscious, both being exhausted from last night's events.*
