Self-made success now she rolls with Rockerfellas

They both went home that night and had their usual nightly routine.

Jasper made dinner, all of them ate at the table, and then they all went off to separate rooms.

Cruella sat in her room sketching her latest design, luckily it was a Friday which meant staying up late and no work the next morning.

She smiled as she sketched out a beautiful dress which she'd show to her team on Monday.

Jasper had gone up to his room and was playing his guitar, he had been writing a big song for awhile but never seemed to have the inspiration to finish it.

That wasn't gonna start now...

A few hours went by and the house became quieter as people started going to sleep.

Both Cruella and Jasper took showers and brushed their teeth, same thing they did every night, They just also added some things to their routines.

Cruella put on one of her newest night gown's she designed, it was red and had lace on the bottom, small spaghetti straps holding it up, and it was the smoothest silk she had ever felt.

She rubbed lotion on her arms, put on her black silk robe and brushed out her curls. She sprayed some perfume on herself and smiled before waving at her reflection and walking out.

"Common Buddy"

She smiled as her furry companion followed her out of the steamy bathroom.

Meanwhile Jasper had started applying the few new things he needed for the night.

He combed out his curls and also put on some lotion to smell nicer, he put on his pajama pants and a soft shirt he secretly hoped Cruella would rest her head on.

He used some mouthwash and put on some chapstick, he put on his robe and walked out, making sure to turn off the bathroom light before he left.

Survival of the richest

Cruella knocked on Jasper's door at somewhere around 12am, he willingly swung the door open and smiled.

"Hello"

Cruella stated that one simple word before she walked into his room, she laid down in his bed and admired the soft silky sheets she had bought for him when they first moved into this huge mansion.

Jasper turned off the big light and turned on his side lamps than he joined her in bed.

He smiled and got himself comfortable, he was pleasantly surprised when she scooted into his side

"So, biggest dreams. Go!"

She smiled, he looked at her and chuckled.

He remembered these talks from the loft, they'd always talk about high class life, how the rich were privileged and respected, and people like them, the poor... they weren't.

"I have nomore Elle"

That was true, he had everything he ever wanted, especially right now, in this moment, his life was perfect.

"We always... dreamed of high class life, especially you, what it'd feel like and what it was all about"

He took in a deep breath and he shook his head smiling happily.

"Now we have it Ella, we have it and it's amazing!"

He rubbed her arm and she looked up at him, she remembered the rough times... when some days they didn't have enough money for food, or they got chased down the street for taking an apple even after they begged and begged to buy it despite being a few cents short.

Life on the streets was no picnic, some days when they ran they'd pass by wealthy people on the street... that was the life they always longed for and now, now they finally had it.

The city's ours until the fall

Cruella put her hand on Jasper's chest and just admired his breathing which was always so calming.

"What about your biggest secret?"

That made Jasper's heart beat faster, Cruella definitely noticed but didn't say a word.

She sat up and crossed her legs, she pulled Jasper up to sit as well.

He crossed his legs and he looked at her, there's no way he was actually gonna tell her so he just shrugged.

"I don't have any Ella"

She tilted her head.

None? He really had none of them? She found that hard to believe but in all fairness, she did know everything about him, every tiny detail of his life, no secrets there.

"Mine is that I'm kind of in love with myself"

He laughed and nodded, everyone knew that.

"Cruella, we all know that"

She shook her head and smiled.

"No no, like I'd marry myself if I could. I never would have married Estella but Cruella? She's every thing I ever wanted to be. Every curve and imperfection I just find adorable and sexy, every breath I take makes me happy, and I'm living the life I've always wanted"

She smiled.

After listening to her talk, Jasper made a realization that he never thought he would...

He was in love with Cruella DeVil.

"Ai't"

And with that one word came complete silence, he couldn't believe he had never noticed before.

He spent so long mourning the loss of Estella, he never looked at what was actually in front of him.

What was there was Cruella, yes, but... Estella was also there too, just for him, under all the black and white hair and red lipstick, his Estella was right there, just more confident than ever.
