Author's note: hey everyone! I would just like to thank everybody for their undying support! U guys rock!!! All those super nice reviews makes writing this fic so much fun. So ya'll have probably guessed it by now. I'll make a public affirmation. Yes, William and Ethan are gay. And yes, they are "together". That explains Ethan's jealousy towards Mia. But why William wants to marry Mia though... I'll give you this tip. He doesn't love her. He wants to marry her because there's this whole family secret involved. Mmm, wonder what it is... Also, coming soon, I'll be writing in other characters POVs, but only once in a while, Mia's POV will still be the main focus. So for all those missing Michael, his POV will probably be in one or two more entries. Ok, the editorial is getting longer than the story. I'll shut up now. Hee hee. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Later on Wednesday

After my chilly encounter with Ethan this morning, I had a girls-day out with Bellene. I like her so much! She's too fun. Grand-Mere probably thought I was lonely here since everyone ignored me so she sent me some company. I gotta admit though, it was kinda weird. Imagine a 27 year-old woman asking you: " Hey Mia! Want to hang out with me today? We eventually got over the initial awkwardness and had such a blast! So me and Bellene did the usual thing, you know, movie, bowling, lingerie shopping... But this you so cannot believe. I must have been really insane to have done THAT! It was all thanks to Bellene actually. We passed by a tattoo parlor and she flashed me her belly button ring. Oh my god right? I totally didn't expect her to be a bad girl at heart. I'm guessing Grand-Mere doesn't know about it or else she would have probably been fired for royal indecency or something. She shocked me even further by simply asking? " Do you want one too?" How scandalous! OF COURSE I quickly said no but she continued prodding me. Grr! That was so mean of her! I knew that she knew that I was... just a little bit... tempted. I've never done something this extreme before, unless you count the time I coned Lana but she deserved it. My weak conscious betrayed me and I gave in and agreed. I somehow sensed that I was going to regret it though. Bellene steered me into the parlor and we waited a while for someone to show up. Then a middle-aged fat man dressed in leather with a black bandana covering his baldhead came into the room. This was getting scary.

Bell: Hey Chuck!
Chuck: Hello sweetheart! Wassup darling?
Bell: Got you a new customer. Meet Mia.

By the tone of her voice, she sounded like a frequent piercer or something.

Chuck: Hello there, so what's it gonna be? A little butterfly on your shoulder? A lover's heart on your hip?
Me: NO!!!!
Bell: Be good Chuck. Just a little belly button ring for this one.
Chuck: Ok then...

Boy did he sound disappointed. What was he expecting? To drill a hole through my tongue? He led me to another room and made me sit on a dentist chair. Bellene came in to supervise.

Chuck: Close your eyes babe. This is gonna hurt.

I expected Bellene to tell him to shut up but it never came. Then I saw him come with this gun thing. Oh god, it was practically as long as my forearm! He could pierce my whole stomach with it!

Chuch: Ah don't worry sweet! It'll hurt for a few days but after that, you'll look seeexy!

And in it went. The needle shot through and I let out a scream resembling that of a lion's roar. He wasn't kidding when he said it would hurt. It hurt... A LOT! I practically crutched my way home. I was doubled over in sheer pain. Groan.
