Chapter 11...
Robert awoke the next morning, and to his surprise Belle was still cuddled at his side. He gazed at her as she slept in his arms. A few locks of her had fallen in front of her face, and he gently brushed them away to reveal her peaceful, beautiful sleeping face.
The sunlight shining through the window, highlighted her brunette curls that caressed down her back as she lay her head onto his chest. Her lips slightly curled up at the sides, showing him she was still happy. Her arm still draped over his chest, like as if she was making sure he wasn't going anywhere. The innocence showed on her beautiful sleeping face, the peaceful and serene dreams blocking out the dangers of the outside.
He was mesmerized by the light tint to her skin. The way her body curled and fitted around his perfectly. As the sunlight, began to rise as the time moved on, It shone through the window, and hit her directly in her eyes. He could feel her toes begin to slightly curl, as she started to stir. Her fingers twitched against his skin on his chest and she slowly opened her eyes. She slowly lifted her head up and gave him sleepy smile.
"Morning" she said in a sweet innocent, sleepy style voice.
"Morning sweetheart" He chuckled at her sleepy state.
"I'm sorry I just dumped myself on you last night" She bit her lip nervously as she toyed with a button on his pajama shirt.
"Belle...You don't need to apologize, I didn't..don't mind at all" He moved his hand to her waist and cuddled her closer, and then she looked up at him and placed a kiss to his cheek.
He smiled greatly, "What was that for?".
She smiled back, "To say Thankyou".
"We should really do this more often" He says as he brushes his fingers through his hair.
"What?" Her face flushes a bright pink.
"Just spend more time together"
"I'd like that" She smiles brightly placing a small kiss to his lips.
She began to giggle as the redness in his cheeks began to grow.
"Are you blushing?" she teased him.
He turned his head away from her "No of course I'm not".
"Yes you are!" She rose up kneeling next to him, she giggled uncontrollably.
He turned his head and glared at her playfully.
"I'm going to make you breakfast" He smiles.
"Let me help you" She starts to get out of bed, but he soon stops her.
"No..I'm going to make you breakfast...In bed..." he smiles brightly.
She bites her lip smiling. "Th-Thankyou.." she leans forward kissing his cheek before he leaves.
She snuggles back underneath the covers peeking over the top watching him leave his room.
She smiled and rolled onto her back, letting a large happy sigh escape her lips.
She gazed up at the ceiling, His ceiling.
She bit her lip hard as she gazed around his room. She couldn't believe that she was in his bedroom, in his bed.
She couldn't stay there, it didn't feel right without him, so she climbed out of the bed and started to creep down the stairs.
She smiled as she heard the radio playing as he made her breakfast.
She crept up behind him and snaked her arms around his waist.
"That smells delicious".
He almost jumped out of his skin.
"Sorry" she giggles as he turns in her arms.
"You are supposed to be in bed!" He glares playfully trying not to smirk at her, putting his hands to her waist.
She shrugs biting her lip smiling.
"As long as you join me, I'll go back up" She teases.
"I'll be up in a moment..." He leans down placing a gentle kiss to her lips. "Now back upstairs...and you'd better pretend to look surprised when I walk in with the breakfast you havn't seen yet...okay?" He teases.
She nods giggling, "Okay" She shuffles off and heads back upstairs, snuggling back under his covers waiting for him.
A while later he opened the door with a kick from his foot as he carried the breakfast tray in.
"Ohh Rumple...That smells delicious, Thankyou" She smirks teasing pretending to be surprised.
He chuckles at her reaction, "You are very welcome" he says proudly sitting on the bed and placing the tray in front of her.
She picks up a piece of toast and takes a bite out of it, taking the glass of orange juice in her other hand and sipping it.
"Are we going to your shop today? I've just got to finish off that bookshelf of yours...Its so dusty!" She smirks playfully.
"It is not dusty! And the only reason you want to go is so you can sneakily pretend to clean them while really, you're reading your way through my entire bookshelf...am I right?" He looks pleased as he sips his coffee.
She bows her head taking another bite of her toast trying not to smile.
"Besides I was thinking about what you said over dinner the other night and...I may have a surprise for you".
Her eyes widen and a smile grows on her face.
"A surprise?"
He nods, "But I have to sort things out first so...Meet me at granny's for dinner" He kisses her cheek before whisking himself out of the house.
She finished her breakfast and got dressed. She went to grab her dress but it was stained and she realized that all her other clothes were still at Gaston's house and she sighed. She either needed to get them or buy new ones, but at the moment she had no money. She sighed.
She resorted to throwing the dressing into Robert's washing machine in the hope it will be ready in time for dinner.
She picked up her cell phone scanning through her phone until she reached Gaston and called him.
"Hello?" He groaned on the other end.
"Gaston?"
"Belle?" His tone suddenly became interested.
"Hi...yeah..I was wondering if I could have my stuff back, my clothes?"
"Ohh..."He doesn't sound happy, "Are you going to come and pick them up?"
"Yes but not today...maybe tomorrow if that's okay?"
"Yeah sure...I'll see you tomorrow then" He smirks on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
Belle decided to not tell Robert about her plans to go to Gaston's because she knew he'd be persistent in assisting her there and she didn't want to feel like she needed a body guard wherever she went.
It was almost lunch time and luckily Belle had just finished drying her dress, putting it on and matching it with a pair of heels.
She made her way across to Granny's to find Mr Gold wasn't there yet. She looked to the clock 11.57, still early so she sat at the booth in the far corner.
She gazed out of the window when she seen him speaking to a man, a mysterious looking man in a black coat with black glasses. She was intrigued and watched them closely before Robert turned and walked away from the man heading towards the Diner.
"Belle..." He smiles sliding into the booth opposite her.
"Who was that man?" She asks smiling innocently.
"Oh...Nothing to be concerned about dearie..."
She nods, looking back out of the window to see the man had gone.
"Have you ordered anything yet?"
She shakes her head,"No I waited for you" she smiles.
They order their usual, 2 hamburgers, 2 iced teas and they sat there and chatted for a little while.
"So...whats this surprise?" She raises her eyebrow at him intrigued.
"Ahh Ahh Ahhh...all in good time dearie..." he teases.
"Give me a clue?"
"Hmm..." He pretends to think.."No" he laughs.
She pulls a pretend pouting face before smiling and munching on a chip as their food arrives.
"So...Remember at dinner you were telling me that you wanted to do English literature?"
She nods and looks away sighing. "I...Don't really...ummm...I don't like to talk about it much, it ruined my life, my dreams, my ambitions" she sighs.
He reaches for her hand across the table. "Belle? Just trust me okay? Why English literature?"
She sighs, "Because I love books, reading them, writing them...They were the only things that kept me going, while I read a book, my life doesn't feel so...so useless...I wanted to become a teacher"
"Ohh..." He gently squeezes her hand reassuringly, he looks down at her plate seeing that she's nearly finished.
"Ready for you're surprise?"
She smiles and nods excitedly.
"Come on then..." He holds her hand the whole way.
"Wh-Where are you taking me?"
He smiles at her, "Close your eyes".
She looks curious as he asks but does as she's told and closes her eyes.
He guides her to the door until they come to a stop.
"And open your eyes..."
She's face to face to a white door and she looks confused.
"I...I don't understand..."
He smiles...
CLIFFHANGER...
