Immediately she noticed she had stopped falling and when she opened her eyes, she saw Forte's worried expression etched into his face.

"Forte," she breathed, her heart restarting, hugging him.

He slipped Belle to the floor so she was standing in front of him before hugging her in return. When he started to hug her, he held her tighter to comfort them both.

"Belle, are you okay?" he questioned her wellness, pulling back slightly to look at her closely.

"I'm a lot better now." She kissed him once and was going to back off, but Forte grabbed her and kissed her over and over.

"I haven't done this for over a month. You're not getting away that easy," Forte snarled playfully, pulling her back to kiss her lips, cheeks, and then moved down to her neck.

"Oh Forte," Belle breathed softly.

"Ahem," someone interrupted them from continuing. Forte and Belle turned around quickly to see Adam looking slightly ashamed. "Belle? Forte? I'm truly sorry. I asked the enchantress for the spell she put on the castle. It was just, Belle I loved you so much and I wanted you back."

"You- You put the spell back on the castle?! On purpose!?" Belle screeched, taking a step in his direction. Forte grabbed her arms to restrain her, just in case she tried something to get her in trouble.

"Yes I did. Although I am truly sorry. You two obviously care about each other very much and I couldn't handle it," he continued his earlier apology.

Belle tried to walk in his direction, her eyes full of fury. "How could you? Just because I choose Forte over you because it feels like you don't care about me anymore, you purposely re-enchant the castle?!" she screeched, red haze clouding her judgment.

Adam nodded and Belle tried to get out of Forte's grip but he held her tight.

"Forte let go!" she hissed.

"Belle," he murmured. He quickly turned her around to face him. "I know you want to do to him what he did to me, but it won't do any good. We're together now, right?" He received a slight nod. "That is all that matters. What's done is done. All we can do is try to forgive and move on."

Once he finished she looked up at him somewhat carefully, judging his emotions. His face was kind and although he wasn't smiling he didn't look exactly angry either.

"Come on," he whispered. He bent down and kissed Belle gently on the lips, and held her more tenderly; instead of the tight grip he had had on her before. He slowly moved down her still-white neck before pausing and looking up. "Oh yes. Adam, you may go because I am quite busy with my fiancé as you can see," he dismissed the prince.

"You're fiancé? But Belle, why?" Adam probed his voice barely a whisper now.

Belle was about to answer when Forte spoke up.

"I think I can answer that. She nearly had had it when you asked for the enchantment back, but when you laughed at her predicament of being a dove, that was the last straw. Am I right Belle?" he inquired to confirm his suspicions.

"Yes you are," she agreed.

"So when are you getting married?" Adam asked, chocking slightly from the tears he was trying to hold back.

Belle and Forte looked at each other at the same time and then back to Adam. "February," they revealed at the same time.

"This month?"

"Yes," Forte replied. "We were planning to have it this month anyway before you had re-enchanted the castle, so why change it?"

"We were thinking of doing it before the snow melted, because we like the idea of having a snowy wedding," Belle explained to him.

"And on that day you will look so beautiful," he whispered, kissing Belle's cheek and neck gently.

Belle giggled and kissed Forte tenderly, wrapping her arm around his neck. Forte pulled her closer to him from around her waist and kept kissing her lips and cheeks.

"Would you give us some space? I would like some time alone with my fiancé," he requested, raising one eyebrow at him.

"Ah of course, of course." Adam agreed, backing out of the room, finally closing the door.

"At last. Now I might actually get some alone time with you." He murmured.

"Ah. Um, Forte? I know you do, or at least I am pretty sure, but do you really love me?" She asked him, a bit worried about his answer.

"You have a good reason to question my motives. After all, Adam never showed his love for you well. Also I was trying to kill you at one point. But I will show my love for you for the rest of my life. Besides, I was only trying to kill you because I wanted you. I was in love with you from the moment I saw you.

He picked her up and walked toward the bed. Once next to his bed, he set her down and layed down next to her. At some point in the night, she felt him close to her, but not right next to her. In response she shifted over unconsciously. She ended up laying on his chest and Forte ended up falling asleep quickly, both very happy.


During summer I am going to redo my stories so that there is more details in the ones that need it (ex. this one). Although for now, this is what it is.
