~After the tea~
"Well,that was after all a nice tea!"Jefferson smiled at looked away.
"If you excuse me,I have some business to do,downstairs!"
" you said-"
"Ah ah ah Belle,dearie!I really want to make him suffer...just a little bit!"he made his characteristic laugh."Make yourself comfortable Jefferson and when I say comfortable I DON'T mean with Belle..."
He laughed."Don't worry,I won't touch your precious little thing!"he smiled and Belle looked away again with a straight look at her face.
"Good!"Rumple said and went downstairs.
After a few minutes,Jefferson stood up with his cup in his hand and walked towards her.
"So..."
"Yes?"
"Why are you here?"
"Well Rumple,I mean the Dark One,helped my father in a war and I was the...exchange..."
"Do you like it here?"he took a look at the castle."I mean, it is dark and cold,but definitely the best place for business."he laughed,and Belle stared for a moment and then turned back to the book she was pretending she was reading.
"Rumple is a good person even he doesn't know it...I can feel it."she smiled,more to herself than him.
He came closer to her."Sorry If I'm being rude but you're holding your book upside down."he smiled at her.
"O-Oh...I...didn't...I mean..."she blushed a lot and of course Jefferson understood it.
"I didn't mean to make you feel embarassed,but holding your book wrongly,means a lot...to me!"he smiled at her again.
"He's an interesting guy." she sighed and then looked at him from down."And what does it mean to you?"she said , but suddenly Jefferson grabbed her hand and with one he spun his hat and jump with her inside it while the room was filled with a purple smoke.
