Chapter 4
Ryan Gold (POV):
Getting into my car I sighed when another wave of pain shot up my leg. Easing the rest of the way in I put my gold Cadillac into drive and took off down the street like I actually had somewhere to be. In reality i was just driving around the street till I decided to head home this I did normally but usually I didn't drive by granny's so much that's my 4th time. Now I found myself staring at the door of the diner so much I almost didn't see that someone was in the road until I was a foot away slamming on the brakes I stopped about an inch from their face. Getting out of my car I limped to the front. I had to check on whoever this idiot was "I'm so sorry I wasn't looking and..." that voice "fell and.." she looked up at me and my heart began to attempt to leap out of my mouth
"oh it's okay as long as you're alright" even she looked shocked at the words that had tumbled out of my mouth
"I'm fine thank you" she got up and started to walk away
"at least let me take care of those cuts" I gestured towards the car. she glanced at her arm then at the car rather reluctantly
"okay" she got in
"thank you" I smiled at her
"where are we going" she asked in her sweet melodic voice. wait focus gold
"to my house I have an extensive first aid kit there" she smiled
"how are you enjoying the book" I glanced at her
"it's wonderful you were right I can't put it down" she laughed
"neither could I" I smiled
"you read it?" she grinned even wider
"yes and loved it especially because of how the author represents love" I glanced at her
"and how did the author represent it" she thought for a second
"well to me love..love is layered a….a mystery to be uncovered. and to have someone else understand that is just" she sighed "is magnificent" wow that was beautiful and... familiar
"that's lovely" she blushed "so what's your favorite part so far" she glanced at me then went back to looking out the window
"the bit that your friend ruby added" I said quietly
Belle French (POV):
"So what did you like most about the book" I glanced at him then went back to staring out the window
"the bit that your friend ruby added" he said quietly. What did ruby add? Oh he meant my number. I glanced at him but his eyes were on the house we were pulling up to. No house wasn't a good enough word for this building it was more like a fortress
"shall we" gold stopped the car and stepped out
"it's lovely" I gasped in awe. It was beautiful. Like something out of a fairytale. he opened the door and gestured for me to come in. he walked into what looks like the kitchen and gestured for me to sit at the bar
"I'll be right back" he walked out and I was left sitting alone in none other than Mr. Gold's kitchen not even an hour after granny had warned me about him.
"Here we go" gold walked in with a cloth "nothing seems too bad. Those scratches on your arm are the worst of it" he wet the rag then walked over to me "now this may sting a little" he patted the warm cloth on my arm. I bit my lip it did sting "sorry I don't do this too often" he smiled sheepishly at me
"are...are you nervous Mr. Gold" i smiled at him
