Chapter 2

Ryan Gold (POV):

I glanced at the clumsy girl and my breath caught when she looked up and I was staring into eyes of the most beautiful shade of blue I could even imagine. She cleared her throat and gave her head a small shake "sorry about that. welcome to Mysterious Love what kind of book can I get you" that voice I've heard it before somewhere

"what would you suggest for reading in between meetings" she stood and walked to a shelf on the other end of the store

"anything on this shelf" she pointed to a rather large shelf covered in books "mysteries with so many twists you'll never put it down" she flashed me a breathtaking smile that was just...

"Perfect" holy Shit did I say that aloud. She blushed as If she knew I was talking about her. Say something you coward "thank you miss..." she smiled

"French, Belle French"

"Ryan Gold. Pleasure to make your acquaintance" i took her hand and kissed it lightly, watching as a beautiful blush cascaded across her face. "I think I'll take this one" I grabbed a book whose name had caught my eye the moment I was lead to this shelf

"alright that'll be..."

"Belle I'm so sorry I'm late I was just... Oh" the new girl with brown hair that had a red streak in it glanced between me and Miss French multiple times.

"hi Ruby it's okay I'm not ready yet let me ring up this sale and grab some stuff from the back" she started towards the register when Ruby, I think her name was said

"I'll handle this you go get ready" Ruby rang me up, grabbed the receipt and scribbled furiously on it then handed it to me. Slipping it in the book cover I self-consciously limped out of the shop.

Belle French (POV):

"It's safe you can come out now" Ruby shouted from the other side of the curtain. I had taken only a step into the store when I was picked up and into a bone crushing hug that left me gasping for breath "oh my gosh girl you like him don't you" i blushed and Ruby squealed again "so what was happening before I walked cause you were face to face staring into each other's eyes if I had waited fire more minutes you guys would have been sucking face by the time I got here" i blushed deep red then remembered.

"He said the same thing he said in my dream" ruby's jaw dropped in shock

"that was your dream guy like literally"

"he kissed my hand" i thought aloud

"I gave him your number" ruby whispered quietly

"what" i was as shocked as she was a moment ago. You don't know what he thinks about me. He could think it's your number. He might want to date you and not me. He might..."

"Belle relax he likes you I could tell"

"but ruby..."

"But nothing come on granny is expecting us"
