Chapter Two : Tonight...

"Belle, can't you find it in your heart to just forgive me?" Shawn pleaded. "Shawn, you want me to forgive you! I can forgive you for lying to me, hell, I can even forgive you for claiming to be that child's father, but I cannot forgive you for believing her, and thinking something that horrible of me!" Belle said as the tears welled up.

"Belle, I..." "Shut up, Shawn, unless you can come up with a reason for me to forgive you, within the next 5 minutes , you are leaving this house," Belle said. "Isabella Black, will you listen to me! I love you and I can't let you leave. I'd never make iton my own," Shawn said.

"Yes, you will, Shawn, I did," Belle said. "I...you have no idea, Shawn, you make me think you slept with Jan, that was bad enough, but then, then you accuse me of killing a child! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to hear someone you are so in love with say those things. Do you?" Belle scried, the tears flowing freely now.

"Belle, I can't undo any of that, I am here now, telling you now, that I love you now, and that I know you still love me...right now," Shawn said, as his tears finally fell. "Shawn, I...I want to believe you, I do, but love, it just isn't enough. It wasn't enough for us," Belle said.

"It can be, Belle, if you let it, " Shawn said. "But if I let it, that means opening my heart back up to you, and Shawn I can't handle another heart break. I just can't, " she said as she sat down on the couch.

"Isabella, if you don't open your heart, I'd understand, but I am asking you and promising you with all my being that, I'd never hurt you and if I did, Belle, I just couldn't live with you in pain," Shawn said.

"I promise not to ever hide anything, I promise never to break a promise, Belle, I can give you all I got and it won't amount to my love for you," he pleaded. "Shawn, I..." Belle said. She looked at his eyes, somethng she hadn't done in ages. There she saw raw honesty and love that she'd never doubt again.

"Belle, please..." Shawn said as he walked closer to her. His hands went to here sides, only this time, she didn't pull away, Instead she leaned forward and placed a getle kiss on his lips.

Shawn pulled her body so that there was no space in between them. Belle pressed her body against his as the kiss deepend. "Shawn..." she moaned softly. She pulled only her head away.

"Shawn, this feels so..." "Belle, it feels right," Shawn said as happiness returned to his eyes that had been missing it for the longest time. Belle grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the stairs.

"Let's go...Tough Boy," Belle said, with full confidance as she pulled him up the stairs.
