Ruby groaned into her pillow several times hoping that those noises out side her room would go away or disappear but they just increased instead. She propped herself on her elbows and glared at the door, whoever they were they were going to suffer the wrath of Ruby the wolf. She yanked her comforter off her warm body and threw a shirt on before finally going out. The brunette cursed under her breath before she yanked the door knob as well. Whoever they were she was going to rip~

Belle? Granny? Ruby cocked her head at the sight before her, a very cute one. Belle had a cloth wrapped around her head, another one on her waist And another in her hands. Granny didn't look amused with Belle cleaning everything up and wiping everything down. Ruby leaned against her bedroom door crossing her arms against her chest as she looked at how determined Belle looked like, oh. She remembered Belle's request of working instead of paying for her food and chuckled at how the brunette lived up to that promise. She strode forward towards them and finally took a stop near them, close enough for them to notice her. Granny tilted her head towards Ruby silently begging her to do something about this. The brunette smiled apologetically at her, her hand reached over holding the cloth in Belle's smaller ones.

"Come on, you are coming with me to the diner" and just like that, the cleaning business was long forgotten and Belle tottered to her room to get ready for that little diner trip, she might find more things there to clean instead of the hotel.

An hour in and Belle was already killing it. She refilled coffee cups, juices, iced teas and delivered the orders to each table perfectly. Ruby glanced at Belle every once in a while as she scribbled down an order to make sure the brunette was doing alright to find her doing a lot more than that. Hours passed by and Belle loved every second of that work to the point where she kept nagging on Ruby's head to teach her a few waitressing techniques, Ruby said yes.

Late after everyone were gone Belle was happily wiping some crust off a table when Ruby laid a hand on her shoulder to get her attention.

"Hey, so did you like it here?" Belle let go of the cloth in her hand to take a seat when Ruby gestured to the chairs beside them. It wouldn't hurt to have a conversation now since the diner is closed.

"I love it, I just love this feeling of being able to help out and not be a borden on both of you" her voice was coming out in nearly whispers, she did feel like that the day before indeed. That was the reason she made sure she helped out in the hotel and that was why she accepted working her at the diner too, she felt like by helping out she was somehow not a borden to the sweet girl before her and her nice grandmother.

"What? Nome sense! You are not a burden ok? Don't even think of that again, promise me that" Ruby couldn't help but to reach across the table and cover Belle's hand with her's in an attempt to comfort the girl.

"Okay?" chimed Ruby again causing the girl to jump of her chair and almost off on the floor.

Belle nodded her head with a hollow laugh, her hand over her racing heart. Ruby almost gave her a heart attack with that scream she did, it would have been a beautiful heart attack if you asked her.

Granny was on a rocking chair in the hotel hallway when the giggles and laughs invaded the hotel's silence. She would have scolded both of the girls to keep them from annoying the residents of the hotel except that they didn't have any really. Instead she lowered down the old book in her hands and looked at them, she cant remember the last time she saw Ruby this happy.

Belle ran towards Granny with open arms that wrapped her up in a warm hug to welcome her home.

Story after story and Belle made sure to tell granny about every single encounter she had with the customers and ever little tip she got back when she served each table. On the other side Ruby was leaning back in the chair with both of her feet propped on the table, eyes busy with her iPhone.

"What is that?" Wondered Belle who have been sitting next to Ruby for a good ten seconds staring at her phone screen. Granny left sometime ago and Belle moved on to Ruby's side, Ruby was so into her game that she didn't notice Belle coming her way.

"What's what?" Ruby's hazel eyes met Belle's puzzled ones.

"That" she pointed her finger at the weirdly shaped thing with moving pictures that was in Ruby's hands.

"This?" She pulled her phone up to make sure what was Belle talking about.

"This is a phone, in this case this is an iPhone! You can play games, send messages and videos to other people using this!"

"What do you mean videos?" This was going to be a long conversation.

Ruby explained everything to Belle and the young lady seemed to understand the concept of having an phone.

"Ok so what where you doing earlier on your iPhone phone?" She pointed again to it hoping to understand more.

"It's called an iPhone Belle just iPhone" Belle nodded her head trying to process the idea of that iPhone phone thing then waited for Ruby to explain to her the moving pictures.

"I was playing a game! Like a puzzle you know?" She tapped away on her phone, the game opened up and the intro music filled up the place. Belle's eyes followed the characters left and right, this was amazing.

"Look here, This game is called wolf toss" Ruby forgot to finish the sentence after tapping on start.

"Wait you are on of those pigs?" Bella's eye followed the poor pigs who ran around the place while the wolf chased them.

"Nope, ironically I'm the wolf" Ruby didn't realize the words she just said until they left her mouth.

"Ironically?" The brunette felt Belle as she shifted by her side, Ruby shrugged it off with:

"Never mind I didn't mean anything" and prayed that Belle didn't take that in mind.

Two hours later Belle was at her room and Ruby was at her's, the brunette didn't ask about the wolf thing so Ruby sighed in relief that no more questions were asked.

She brushed her hair, put on her pajamas and finally got ready for her warm bed. The moment her head dipped into the pillow, a quite knock was forced against her door.

"R-Ruby?" Someone was whispering her name, why was she afraid? She was a wolf! She shouldn't be afraid.

The door cracked open slowly to revel a scared Belle, sigh.

"Belle? Are you okay?" She sat up on the end of the bed and looked up to her.

"No I'm fine I Just had a nightmare and I was hoping that you can-if I can- um you know take refuge here instead of staying in my room all alone? Please?I will be out of your hair in no time promise" Ruby looked at the little brunette before her, Belle looked pretty shocked up and really terrified. She gestured for her to come closer and scooted to the other side of the bed making room for Belle to lay down.

The little brunette's breath evened in less than thirty minutes, Ruby flicked the lamp on her counter off and laid back down to doze off as well, a hand wrapped around her arm and held it there. She knew that Belle was asleep and that's what made a smile tug on her lips, Belle looked peacefully asleep.
