Weekend morning. Belle keeps hearing the news about Gibson urgh! When will it stop? It's so annoying to hear every single day in your ears.
The family had breakfast in the kitchen. The world now is spreading about this matter. Why can't it stop?
Belle ate her breakfast as the mom spoke. "Awe, our next neighbor is getting married. Isn't it wonderful?" said Belle's mom.
There is a clang! as a spoon dropped on the plate. Belle's dad looks annoyed. "Marianne I had enough about this man". said him. Belle's face lights up.
"Thank you dad, where have you been". said Belle as she slapped her dad's arm. "It happens to be marriage, so what? can't you and the neighbor stop talking about him". Belle's dad nodded, eating. "It's annoying. I try to sleep and my mind is talking".
Belle's dad nodded again, sighing. "I want everyone to stop talking about that man. Well congratulations on his new life so he disappeared and didn't come back".
"Oh Roger, he will be coming back. Sooner. With his new wife, she is lucky to have him as a husband".
The Decker's heard the front was open and shut it close. There is a voice coming over. "Good morning Decker's!" It was Emma. She walked to the kitchen. "Good morning".
"Oh Emma have a seat then we just start eating our breakfast". said Belle's dad. "Get the plate of your own (point at the counter) you early my dear".
"Yes I am (drag the chair beside Belle) My mom is out of town today and she forgot my breakfast so I quickly came in here knowing the food is calling me".
She reached four pancakes and the syrup was then put inside her plate. She ate it. "What's fussing about?"
"We are just getting started Emma".
"About the news aren't you? well it's spreading very well Mr. Decker".
Suddenly Belle pushed the chair running through the bathroom. Emma laughed.
"Awe, someone is not interested in this topic". They could hear Belle hurling inside the bathroom. "It's going to take a while".
The Decker's house has two bathrooms, one it's upstairs and one it's downstairs. So Belle chose the bathroom downstairs. It is closer to the kitchen.
Belle's dad pushed the chair and walked where the bathroom was.
"You all right honey? (knocking the door) do you need Doctor Reed I call him right away".
"I'm fine just.. (hurling) just fine". she said inside the bathroom. "I'll be a fine dad".
Emma reaches for another pancake and eats it. She smiled. "This is delicious Mrs Decker even though it was just a pancake".
"Thank you Emma. There is leftover chinese food inside the fridge, do whatever you want, make our house like your home too".
Belle's mom continues eating breakfast, Emma walks to the fridge. "Isn't it wonderful to hear this news Emma. A wedding". ask Belle's mom.
"Owh, the whole school went crazy about it. They even crying".
Belle's mom shake head. "My husband and Belle ask me to stop talking about Victor Gibson in this house".
"You probably should start now. Kind of a bit annoyed sometimes Mrs Decker. Okay I'll get that.. he's everything and perfect perhaps you should get laid low for that".
Belle's dad goes back to the kitchen, he takes a seat. "I hear that. And you were right Emma. They all never stop talking about this man, even my wife. Does your mom care for this?"
"She never cares about what happens and she doesn't know him either. God bless her. She has shut herself since my dad die".
"May Jared's soul rest in peace Emma. Your dad is a good man".
Emma nods. "I know (she looks up at the ceiling) he's probably up there.. sneaking the way into heaven". Belle's parents look up at the ceiling which is covered with cobwebs.
"Oh my God!" Belle's mom was shocked.
"It's a joke, Mrs Decker. Of course he does, he's happy now in Heaven. If I die one day I want to stay with him in Heaven. I'll make sure of that, or I beg God. How I miss him very much".
Belle's mom turns to her husband. "How is she?"
"You heard your daughter Marianne. I think because you keep mentioning that man's name right in front of her. The name makes her loathe to hear everyday".
Emma takes her previous seat. She smiled. "May I say this. Belle doesn't care about Mr. Gibson either does not care what he is trying to do with his life. He's an adult, right? so be it".
Exactly that moment, Belle entered the kitchen and seat. She looked pale and sweating, so she asked her mom to make her chocolate milk.
Belle's mom hurried to get milk and chocolate powder from the cabinet and the fridge. On the making. Belle's mom said.
"Is there a reason why you need this?"
"I never liked his mom. That is why I need this chocolate milk. I was not interested to hear about him every single day. Please make it stop!"
Belle's mom hands Belle a glass of chocolate milk, Emma watching Belle immediately drain the glass and burp then she smiles.
"Nice. Like I was saying. Don't be obsessed so much. Look at your daughter how happy she was until she vomited, and she can't wait to get rid of him. Unless he still wants to stay". said Emma.
"You alright Belle?" ask Belle's dad. "I'll already text Doctor Reed and he will come over before noon".
Belle nodded without arguing, maybe she needed a doctor or because she was so happy wasn't it. "Can I get pizza for breakfast?"
Noon later. "Open your mouth and put this under your tongue". said Doctor Reed, Belle opened her mouth as he put the tip under her tongue. "Vomiting?" Belle nods. "How many times? Once, twice?" Belle signals him three times, he smiles. "Three. Diarrhea?" Belle shakes head no. Doctor Reed then listened to Belle heart with a stethoscope.
He does examine Belle. "It is an intestinal infection that is nothing serious (he stared at Belle) . Do you remember what you eat lately".
"I went to a party at night".
"Drinking?"
"No. Just this dipping sauce makes me crave and repeat, a sour cream and onion sauce. I dipped it with hot chicken, the chips and lots of variety of food was displayed on the table. I will never stop eating that night".
Doctor Reed gives a small laugh, he turns to the parent. "So that means she'll be fine. I'll prescribe medicine. Three day at home and she'll be well again".
"Can I eat that sauce again?" ask Belle.
"You can but be careful. Our intestines don't support what we've eaten. It needs rest too. Hot chicken? no wonder you are vomiting. You still young Belle, be careful what you eat after this".
Later in the evening. Belle was at the back of the house, gardening. She texts Coco that she cannot go for work tonight and for the next three day. She grabs the tools and starts talking with the flowers.
Her mom and dad like gardening too, kind of that stuff. She loves to see how blooming and growing beautiful flowers are just like hers. Belle loves Roses than other flowers.
"Like hell you talk with the unliving things plant. What is wrong with you!?" Emma takes a seat near Belle. "So what happen?"
"My intestines are not working properly that what the Doctor says".
"Of course. You couldn't stop dipping the food inside the sour cream and onion sauce (chuckle) I mean who else finished that sauce if it wasn't you".
Belle sighs. "It tastes so good I can't help it". She turns to Emma. "You eat that too".
"I am but not so fancy like you. Thought you were vomiting because your parents won't stop talking about Mr. Gibson. I'm just saying.. nothing more or less. Everyone is crazy about him". There is silence. Emma spoke back. "Come on Belle. Let's go to the playground shall we".
Before night comes. Both girls Emma and Belle swing themself high up with laughter. Having their own fun with the other kids. Belle then swung lower as she inhaled and exhaled air. Slowly she closed her eyes.
"This is so relaxing". said Belle.
"Oh look who is here". Emma pointed out. "Have you seen this charming boy around the neighborhood?" ask Emma to Belle. Belle opens her eyes and looks at where Emma points. "I don't think we've seen him around, new neighbors maybe. He's totally checking on you Belle".
Belle ignores her. "Here he'd come. Quick! pretending you are more gorgeous than a disney princess".
"What!?"
This sweet boy coming over the girls. Introduce himself with a smile. "Hi. My family just moved here. I'm Jake".
"Are you the son of the Harley's?"
"Yes I am".
Belle turned to Emma, said. "You know him?"
"Pfft... His mother is Katherine DeBourgh. She's the former Miss World back in the 90's representing France and now she has turned into an online business woman. And her son now introduces himself to us (smiling) nice to meet you then Jake".
He blushed, said. "Well you know about my mom so well. Kinda weird but it's cool. My dad owns a business in the Empire building in New York. Publisher or something I don't know. What's yours?"
"I'm Emma and this is Belle".
Smile. "Nice to meet you two then. Actually it's just temporarily our house in New York is on renovation. My mom decided to move in here, she kinda likes the green thing. She loves water adventures, hiking so she choose Colorado. So yeah".
"Good. You have a nice smile Jake".
"Thank you Emma (blushing) I start my school this monday at Colorado Sierra High School".
Emma and Belle chuckle. Emma said. "That our school actually".
"No kidding. Well. I'll see you two on Monday morning. Is very pleasure to meet you both. I thought I was gonna lose my mind. Everyone seems uncomfortable with me, probably they know who I am and my family was".
"Don't bother about that Jake. Our neighborhood are weird I told you that first but they are nice people and dumb sometimes following their mood behave. People are looking at you because you are from a rich family and famous. So that is how it is doing".
Belle smacked the back of Emma's head, and she turned in anger. "What the hell Belle! it hurts, damn it!"
"Are you trying to scare the hell out of him or what!?"
"Oh no. It's okay Belle. I'm already getting used to it being threatened. Lots of people are trying to kill my family because of our wealth. I don't mind".
Belle and Emma eyeing him. Is he serious?
"Whatever. And you are weird. We see you on monday then just don't act so awkward. Just playing cool, you will learn someday and welcome to our neighborhood".
He noted with thanks, turning his feet then he walked away. Emma smirks as she turns to Belle who is still eyeing Jake in curiosity. She elbowed Belle.
"Looks like you got a new crush and we're gonna see him again. On Monday''. she wink.
