Belle: Chapter 2
I was suspicious of my papa all through breakfast. He kept smiling and laughing to himself. It was like he knew something that I didn't. I have never cared much for that feeling.
"What's going on?" I asked finally.
"What do you mean?" he asked, a smile on his face.
"You're all smiley today," I said.
"Oh, I'm just in such a good mood! I might finish an invention today!" he said.
"That's great Papa!" I said, smiling. It felt like there was still more he wasn't telling me but I wasn't going to push him. After breakfast I did the dishes real quick then headed to school. On the way there I had the eerie feeling of being watched.
At school I happily met up with Jane. We talked for a bit before class, I was trying to get her to read my favorite book. I was currently rereading it for the 10th or 11th time. My copy was beat up and well used, but it was special to me like no other book could be. It was what Adam had given me for our first Christmas together and he had written on the inside cover. I knew the words there better than the words in the actual book.
'Belle, I think I love you, Love, Adam.'
Yeah I know, he's not really good with words. But it was the first time he told me he loved me and it was written down forever in my favorite book.
"You miss him huh?" Jane asked. I had run my finger over the words several times.
"More than anything," I replied.
"That's love for you," she said. I smiled.
