Chapter 1: After the Broken Spell…
I was so glad to break the spell and to get married to Belle. Basically, my dream came true. I felt so elated to see my human body and to kiss Belle. I was also glad that that Gaston guy was gone. Jeez, I didn't know why he wanted to kill me so bad. I think it was because Belle and I loved each other and he loved Belle… Ha ha, I got her; in your face, Gaston!
When our wedding was over, Belle and I had just decided to not go on a honeymoon. We just stayed home for our honeymoon because we couldn't really think of any place we wanted to go. It was late outside after our wedding, and we had decided to go to bed. When we reached the stairs, Belle said, "I'm so glad that we got married. I will never let you go. That's how much I love you." I smiled at her smiling face and I said, "Well, to show that I love you more, I will never let you go and I will never let you down or forget you. You are always on my mind ever since I met you." We held hands as we walked upstairs to our room. She gasped almost laughing and said, "No you don't! I love you more than you love me! I got proof!" I laughed, "Oh yeah? And what is that proof?"
She looked at the ceiling in thought, and we both laughed. I said, "Uh oh. You don't have proof. Ha! I told you that I loved you more!" She was laughing, "No! No! I got it!" I jokingly said, "Oh, I bet you do." I was laughing and she was smiling. She said, "I helped you break the spell because I loved you. I immediately ran to the castle to save you. If Gaston didn't shoot you, you would've been fine. I said yes to when you asked me to that dance of ours." I laughed, "Yeah, but I asked you because I had already fallen in love with you. Ha!" She laughed along with me, and she said, "How about this: we love each other equally. Like we love each other a thousand percent." I smiled and I said, "That's good. We're equal." She said, "Good."
We finally reached our room and we walked in. She said, "Well, it looks like we can call this our bedroom now." I said, "Of course. I'll share anything with you." She lead me to the bed and she asked, "If you'll share anything with me, then why did you turn into a beast into the first place?" Oh no; I did not like answering this question, especially to the woman I love. I sat next to her on the bed and I sighed. She was still holding my hand, and I said, "I made an unwise decision." She asked in an interested voice, "What did you do?" I said, "Well, back then, I would have a lot of parties with all the servants and people who came. Everybody knew me well like they do now. I would have a lot of parties. In the middle of our party, this very old woman came in with a rose. She was begging me for shelter, and she would give me the rose if she could stay in my castle. I was so disgusted by her haggard appearance that I turned her away. I didn't let her stay in my castle." Belle was so interested in my story, and she asked, "You turned her down… because you have been taught to turn down hideous people? You really only cared about appearances back then?" I said, "Yes, I did. Then, she turned into this beautiful enchantress and I tried to apologize, but she wouldn't accept it. So she turned me into a hideous beast to show how she feels. Everybody forgot about me and my servants. So, that's why I turned into a beast."
Belle said, "Wow. I… can't believe you did that. I mean, it is hard to believe that because you are just like an angel now. You're sweet and gentle. It's hard for me to believe that you did something that mean. At first, you were mean to me, but then you were really nice. I knew that you had it in you." I smiled a little and I said, "I'm just glad that you saw the goodness in me. My cruel father made me like him, and I was like my mom before she died. I was just used to being mean like my dad back then. You were a profound influence on me. I have been inspired to be nice like you." She smiled and then she said, "That makes me glad. I really love you, and that's why I am always there for you, and you are always there for me." I said smiling, "That's why we married each other. We were meant for each other. We might as well thank your father for this because he ended up here first." We laughed and she said, "Yeah. I guess we should." I asked, "Now, since you asked me a question, can I ask you one?" She smiled and said, "Anything." I asked, "What is it about that Gaston guy that you hated? It seemed like you hated him so much."
She groaned and said, "Man, he was the worst. It was so hard being nice to him. He was so full of himself and he tried way too hard to make me love him. I didn't like him at all because he was rude and conceded. He wasn't right for me. He would brag and think that he deserves every remarkable thing on Earth. I really hated how he loved me so much because of my looks. He seemed to be popular for no reason. He… ulch, he was just so bad. I did not like him because of his behavior and attitude towards things. That's why I love you. You were never like him, and you don't brag about anything."
I laughed, "Wow. You really hated him. Yeah, I didn't like how he tried to kill me because I was falling in love with you and I you started falling in love with me. He literally killed me, but then I revived because the spell broke. He was rude because he was saying that I didn't deserve you, and that you'll never fall in love with me. He would also say that he deserves you, and that's why I fought back. He didn't deserve you, and I was furious that he was saying cruel things like that. I thought I deserved you." She laughed, "Well, it seems that we both hated him." We laughed and then she said, "And I deserved you." We leaned in and kissed each other for a long time.
I could tell the kiss said, "I love you". I am so in love with Belle, and I am so elated that she is in love with me. This is such a perfect life right now.
