Reunited With My Friends-Part 3

Miracle's POV

After our excursion using the ATVs we were all exhausted and I know they wanted to retire early since they are so tired from their flight. We are on our way back to the manor when we passed the construction site, I can't help myself, but take a little peek to see if they are around, and I breathe heavily when I saw Jace standing on the second floor wearing only his jeans. He looks so glorious and I can't help myself from staring at him that I almost collided with the gravel near the construction site.

"Miracle! Watch out!" I heard Jaxson's voice, and I am just in time to use the brake lever of the vehicle, and I am glad I was able to use my brain and didn't panic or it will cause Jace to humiliate me even more. I looked up at Jax and waved at him while saying my thanks, and out of the corner of my eye, I can see Jace furrowed his forehead. I don't care about his opinion anymore.

"I think you need to rest after you eat your dinner since you were both exhausted from your flight and from our tour this afternoon, and I want to apologize, I should have let you rest on the first place." I said to them after we return the vehicles and the gears on their proper places, the mechanic who is in charged of the vehicles are waiting for us.

"Miracle, we are not tired, right Chad?" Stella said and asked Chad, who is so busy ogling Nelson.

"Yes! I was tired during the flight, but when I see this paradise I felt fresh again and my energy came back on its own." He said and I smiled the way he looked at Nelson, the mechanic on duty, of course Nelson is gorgeous and attractive too. Chad talked to me, yet he was looking at him the whole time. Chad is checking him out good time and when I looked at Nelson I can tell he was blushing. What? Don't tell me Chad will have a love interest during his stay on the manor. I don't know why my Grandma loves to hire attractive people on her estate.

"Did you enjoy your ride Ms. Mira?" Nelson asked me, but I can tell he is glancing at Chad secretly.

"Yeah! We did enjoy our ride, Nelson. These are my colleagues and friends, Chad and Stella, guys, this is Nelson, one of our employed mechanics." I introduced them to him, but I know Chad is very much interested with Nelson. They shake hands and I can tell Nelson and Chad shook hands than longer compared with Stella.

"Oh! My Gosh girls, I think I am in love with Nelson, can you see it, he was staring at me the whole time." Chad spoke after we left the garage. Stella and I nodded at him.

"Yeah, and I am telling you Chad, you are not allowed to have a boyfriend unless I and Stella have a love life." I can tell the hurt in his eyes.

"That is unfair, Miracle, what if tomorrow both of you decided to totally avoid boys during our whole stay here, you should give me freedom to love, Mira." He said and pouted his lips, I can't stop myself from laughing since he looked so adorable.

"I am just kidding, Chad, you can have a boyfriend as much as you can." I said, and I am so glad that I felt so happy.

"Thank you, Miracle, I can't wait to ask his number, I should have asked him, but I had doubts what if he doesn't want to give me his number?" He mumbled.

"I will give you his number." I said and his whole face lights up with excitement, and I am happy for Chad.

"You do?" Oh! Miracle, thank you so much." He said.

"You are welcome, Chad." I replied.

We get inside the manor and go to our separate rooms to clean ourselves and change our clothes. We met an hour later in my room, before we go to the dining area. I am wearing a lavender backless halter mini dress, while Stella is wearing shorts and spaghetti tank top.  Chad is wearing his polka dots shorts and polo shirt. I am not afraid to go to the dining hall since I have company. I can't ask my grandmother to ask Jax and Jace to have their meals after or before us. She wants us to eat together, I know my granny likes them like her own grandsons. How can I tell her I am avoiding his two favorites guests in this house.

I am right, Jace and Jaxson are already sitting on the long dining table waiting for us to join them. I can hear my stomach grumble the moment I saw the table full of sumptuous menu.

"I am so happy that my granddaughter is with me during this summer, it was always my dream to have her in the manor, but since all of you know his father, I don't have a choice, but to pray and even asked Santa Claus during Christmas season that I want to spend time with my Miracle. And I am happier that she had found true friends." My grandmother said and it made me blushed, I don't expect her to make a speech in front of them.

"Amelia, can we call you grandma too?" Asked Chad and I can see the face of my grandma Amelia lighted up.

"Yes! Of course, I'd love that Chad." She said.

"It is our honor and privileged to know her as well, she is beautiful and kindhearted with a gentle heart and soul, and my wish for her is to find love this summer." Chad declared, Oh boy! He even made it worse, I no longer look up at them, I just focus my attention on my plate. How could they do this to me.  I can feel my blush is now creeping to my entire body.

"Wow! These foods are all mouthwatering! Did you prepare all this grandma?" Stella said and I felt relieved she save me from this embarrassing moment, I have to thank her later and I won't give Chad the phone number of Nelson, he can't get away from all this.

"Yes! These menus are Mira's favorite." Grandma replied and I don't have a choice, but raised my head and looked at my grandma with affection.

"Thank you so much grandma, and I want to apologize for the times I wasn't able to visit you, I always love to come here, but dad always says no." I said, and she touches my left hand.

"It is okay, Mira, I am just overwhelmed that you are enjoying your stay this time." She said and I nod at her and give her one of my sweetest smiles, I don't want to cry in front of my friends especially with Jace and Jax's presence.

We eat our meal in silence, and I am glad my grandma stop talking about me when Chad asked a question again.

"Mira, why you were named, Miracle?" He asked that I almost choked the shrimp tempura on my mouth.

"It was a tragic story Chad, and I don't think this is the right time to ask about it." My grandmother answered on my behalf.

"Don't worry, grandma Amelia, it is alright." I said, and I want my friends to know it for all of them knows about me, maybe my grandma is still afraid that I will have a hard time again, to share those painful memories.

"I'm sorry, Miracle." Chad said and he looked at me apologetically.

"Chad! It is okay, I haven't told you yet about my mom, right?" I asked.

"Yes! Only your love life." He said and it made me flushed again and this time I want to tweak his hair until he will beg me to stop. I can't avoid looking at Jace and Jax who are looking at me with intense stares, and I know both of them are thinking I shared my emotions with my friends.

"Chad, my mom died during my birth, the doctors told my dad, that they were sorry for they weren't able to save my mom and me, I was declared dead too, the doctors and nurses were shocked when they heard me cry, they already secured my lifeless body, my dad can't stop himself from crying, and he almost kissed everyone who was there to witness the said Miracle. My mom died and I lived, my dad said to them, he wants to call me, Miracle since he believed my mother made me live, and here I am, trying to live my life even without her." I said and I can't keep my tears from falling.

Chad raised from the dining chair and hugged me from behind. I don't want to talk about her, but this time I felt like telling them the truth because I believe God, let me live with a purpose in life, and not to live in pain but with joy. It made me realize I have to continue the legacy of my father so that I can be like him. I thought before, money doesn't matter, but right now I realize I can't help others if I don't have the funds and I realized why my father is a well-known philanthropist, he dedicated his life to working hard for the companies, not for his gain, but to help others. How come I never think about all this before?

I felt guilty for how many I times I told my dad, I will never be ready to take over his companies, and I don't want to be like him, but I should be proud of him for his kindness to people like what he has done for Jace's mother. The new realization inspired me and I even smiled at Jace and Jax and I regretted it after I realized I don't want to be friends with them yet, especially Jace.
